Chapter 270 Battle for the Cowl (12)

In an underground parking lot, the battle between [Die to Get Mysterious] and [Shiva] was getting hotter.

The area where the two fought was shrouded in a hazy, colorful mist; On the ground beneath their feet, empty paint cans were scattered everywhere.

“You have already used ten bottles of large recovery, according to the diminishing effect… it should almost be ineffective” Shiva spoke with confidence, his expression was really calm.

“Oh… ‘almost’?” Die to Get Mysterious was smirking. “Don’t you know the specific data on the reduced levels of the three kinds of survival supplements?”

“You know, right? Then what?” Shiva replied: “[Orders], always do something boring, what are the differences in the details of the details, can they change anything? Can that make you win me?”

“Oh… every time you play against you, your attitude can make me super uncomfortable…” Die to Get Mysterious said: “Like you, nothing is considered, you can be strong enough to this point… That’s the so-called genius…”

Shiva replied, “I don’t know and I don’t care if I am a genius. At this moment, I care more about… You are in a negative situation, you choose to just keep on attacking and drag the battle into a protracted war. What strategy are you using…” His eyes swept around. “Are these floating paints…”

“Ha! It’s really envious.” Die to Get Mysterious said: “Intuitively, you can make the right judgment, but… obviously seeing through my strategy, but not paying attention to it, you might too arrogant!”

Before finishing his line, Die to Get Mysterious raised a hand, with the mist in the air, smashed to where Shiva stood.

Shiva’s expression slightly changed, the instinct of combat told him that he must not go against this skill. He immediately stepped and flashed aside, avoiding the palm.

The colorful palm, like a behemoth, came fiercely. After sweeping from Shiva, it continued to fly and eventually slammed into an unlucky SUV in the distance. The car immediately changed in a strange way: Its whole body got dyed in different colors both inside and outside and after two seconds, it exploded into fireworks.

This is not a general explosion, but a skill effect. When the SUV broke, it became a small block of thousands of different colors. If you look closely, you could find that the shapes of these blocks were all Tetris blocks.

“It turns out that… When the concentration of the misty pigment in the air reaches a certain level, your attack can be accompanied by this stunning property.” Shiva looked at the building blocks and said calmly: “But… If I leave this area, how could you fight me?”

“You can try it…” When Die to Get Mysterious said this, the outer layer of floating pigments in the area began to condense. Soon, a circle of colorful walls surrounded the two, even cement above their heads and feet has become a jigsaw puzzle.

“No wonder you were willing to use that kind of tactic and consumed a lot of blood unhesitatingly, and tried to expand the battlefield.” Shiva commented: “I don’t know if that’s a skill, equipment, or a combination of the two… However, it is really amazing. If someone gives you enough time to prepare, this is almost an invulnerable strategy.”

“It’s too late to praise me, you will lose because you were too arrogant!” Die to Get Mysterious jumped, crossing his legs and kicked out a hurricane. This attack was like a huge wave on the head, making no room for escape for Shiva.

With a sigh, the suspended stone plates behind Shiva burst out with a glare, eight different stone plates suddenly gathered together to form a big hourglass.

“I didn’t expect that it will be consumed by you…” Shiva said.

In an instant, a fierce force, bursting with the hourglass as the core, the surrounding fog disappeared instantly and the blocks fell apart. Even the attack that Die to Get Mysterious has already used was also ruined.

This is one of Shiva’s spiritual weapons [Dancing Sky Hourglass]: [Pure Ground], which can remove all enemy skill and equipment effects (including passive) in the range for one minute. After use, the Ground stone plate will be broken and returned to the login space to be restored.

There were eight special effects for [Dancing Sky Hourglass] [1] of “Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Void, Sun, Moon, Destruction”. At present, Shiva had only learned the special effects of “Earth” [Pure Ground] and the special effects of “Water” [Sin’s Shower]. But only one of these two special effects was enough to see how OP his spiritual weapon was.

“Impossible…” Looking at all the hard work of his that were gone, Die to Get Mysterious felt deeply desperate.

At this moment, he recalled his past.

At that time, Die to Get Mysterious was not a professional player. He was just a middle school student who loved to play. He had a special liking for a popular competitive game. He had a high score, excellent skills and with almost no opponents among his friends. Until a certain time, the game began to sell the charging props… Well, that day he entered the high-level game area habitually with the win rate over 80%, he was losing the whole day but only won a few. His operation was almost perfect, the strategy was well thought, his reaction and the psychological quality were professional, but unfortunately… all this is meaningless in front of players who are equipped with money. He tried his best to make the effort, and his opponent could just defeat him by rolling the keyboard with the face.

At this moment, Die to Get Mysterious, once again realized the feeling of powerlessness and the unwillingness to lose.

“There is nothing impossible,” Shiva said. “If you don’t accept it, get your spiritual weapon [2] as soon as possible, and challenge me again.” He said, with one hand, the hourglass was separated again, but this time only seven stone plates left.

Die to Get Mysterious didn’t move and he looked calm. His Stamina Value was running out and even if he wanted to escape now, his condition wouldn’t allow it. As a top player, he at least wanted to maintain the last of his dignity.

The seven stone plates shot a beam of different colours and hit Die to Get Mysterious. He didn’t hide because he understood that when his skills were exhausted, victory and defeat were obvious.

After a few seconds, Die to Get Mysterious, whose Survival Value got exhausted, disappeared into white light. In the other player’s menu, the words “Dead” appeared immediately next to his name.

“Well…” Shiva also sighed and whispered: “I wanted to leave this skill to the Bloody Stone of that guy but I didn’t expect to be forced into this situation…” He used to fight with King in Shadow and knows how difficult it is, so in his opinion, King of Shadow was the one that could really threaten him in this scenario.

“But it’s good to take Die to Get Mysterious down…” Shiva said to himself, opening the game menu and trying to confirm the situation of other opponents. Unexpectedly, when he gazed on the bar, aside from [King in Shadow]’s name, the word “Dead” popped out.

“What…” Shiva was shocked immediately, “How the hell could he be dead!”

[1] “Dancing Sky Hourglass”: In mythology, god Shiva had a weapon called “Dancing Sky Wheel”.

      Or two down, four to go since the first chapter of this arc is inconsistent about whether there are seven players total or only six.
