Chapter 680: The Strongest Knock-off

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The ice crystal gave a shudder and immediately knocked Unending Unmatched back. However, Unending Unmatched reacted extremely quickly, not pausing for a second after he landed. Instead, he instantly strode forth and approached Black Wing again.

Melee classes were weakest against ranged attacks, so the only way to win would be to stick close to the opponent. If the opponent managed to put some distance between them, they would be at a complete disadvantage.

Black Wing held up his staff and used Frost Rising Star. If this was any other situation, Unending Unmatched would definitely be frozen, but this was different. His Territory was activated, which meant he was immune to Abnormal Statuses from all normal skills.

[−5]

A thin layer of frost spread in all directions, landing a hit on Unending Unmatched.

The damage Frost Rising Star dealt to Unending Unmatched was practically negligible, and even Unending Unmatched turned his nose up at Black Wing’s useless skill.

Immediately after that, however, he experienced just how formidable Black Wing really was.

Before the faint frost from the Frost Rising Star skill had dissipated completely, the ice crystal enveloping Black Wing lit up suddenly. In an instant, the ice crystal expanded, freezing Unending Unmatched into a popsicle in the blink of an eye.

Frost Rising Star was a useless skill, but Black Wing’s follow-up attack was far from useless. He was using the frost generated by Frost Rising Star to unleash his Territory Skill, Ten Miles Frozen! 1

Black Wing leaped backward, putting some distance between himself and Unending Unmatched. He then held his arms at his waist, creating an Ice Spear.

Unending Unmatched’s Territory was at a level similar to Black Wing’s, and the former had high HP and DEF too. It was not quite possible to freeze him completely with a weak spell. While the Territory’s Freeze effect had no time limit, keeping the opponent frozen required a constant supply of Territory Power. Seeing as the ice crystal around Unending Unmatched was about to crack, naturally Black Wing was not going to stay still and do nothing.

Black Wing managed to rub out a giant Ice Spear, which he threw at Unending Unmatched slowly. After that, he threw his arms wide open, floating in mid-air.

“Blizzard!”

The giant Ice Spear and the Blizzard Spell hit Unending Unmatched at nearly the same time, and the red damage figures appeared before their eyes. [−68655!]

“Smack!”

The ice crystal shattered, and Unending Unmatched ran full-tilt at Black Wing.

“Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!”

Icicles kept raining down from the sky, crashing into Unending Unmatched’s body relentlessly. On the other hand, it was fortunate that Blizzard’s Slow effect had no effect on Unending Unmatched, or else he may not have been able to even run in that storm.

“Ten Miles Frozen!”

Just as Unending Unmatched ran up to Black Wing, the ice crystal around Black Wing scattered suddenly and spread out instantly, freezing everything within 50 square yards…

Unending Unmatched was frozen in the center of the ice crystal, his body in the air mid-leap, and his Shieldsword lifted way above his head mid-slash.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

Damage figures kept floating from the top of Unending Unmatched’s head. Ever since he equipped the Shieldsword, his HP had breached 300,000, and his DEF reached 80,000 as well. Even so, while in the ice crystal, he still lost thousands of HP every second, and the amount of HP he lost was only increasing.

Black Wing stood on the ice crystal and raised his arms, using Awaken to recover his mana.

An ice-type Freeze attack could not kill Unending Unmatched, but this was a true Ten Miles Frozen, and it was completely capable of freezing him to death. Black Wing was quite confident in that.

“Bzzt bzzt bzzt bzzt…”

Unending Unmatched was frozen and could no longer move, but just then, the Shieldsword in his hand kept vibrating on its own. A thin crack appeared at the tip of the ice and slowly began to expand outward.

Black Wing watched the changes in the ice crystal, surprised. He then raised his staff up high, and frost appeared around his body again, shooting toward the ice crystal.

As Black Wing continued to channel power into it, the cracks on the ice crystal began to fade, and the Shieldsword’s vibrations began to subside slightly.

Black Wing relaxed slightly. According to his calculations, he just had to hang in there for 20 seconds, and then Unending Unmatched would be dead as a doornail.

“Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!”

After merely five seconds, the Shieldsword vibrated even more violently than before, and the cracks in the ice reappeared, spreading instantly like a spider’s web and enveloping the entire ice crystal in the blink of an eye.

“Crash!”

The ice crystal shattered and Unending Unmatched regained his freedom, having lost half of his HP. He then rushed straight up to Black Wing with Charge.

There was a magnificent gleam of metal, and Black Wing hurriedly blocked it with his Ice Shield.

“Psst—”

[−8544]

The Ice Shield reduced most of the damage, but the Shieldsword still dealt quite a blow to Black Wing, reducing his HP by half.

Wizards had the highest ATK, but at the same time, they had the weakest HP and DEF among all the classes.

“Whoosh—”

Before Unending Unmatched could slash him a second time, Black Wing used Flash to escape beforehand.

He was extremely shocked. Ever since he learned his Frozen Territory Skill, no one had been able to hurt him. This was the first.

“Ice Awl Spell!”

Black Wing turned around and pushed both his hands forth, sending an intense gust of wind at Unending Unmatched.

Unending Unmatched dodged around it. Having suffered from the Frost Rising Star earlier, he was warier now. He knew that if he were hit by any sort of frost, he would not take much damage, but the follow-up Frozen skill could easily take his life.

The Ice Awl Spell missed. Black Wing’s body began to levitate, and he used Blizzard. This time, however, it lasted for a mere three seconds before he fell from the sky.

He had been using one skill after another, and he had no time to restore his mana, so now he was all out.

“Smack-smack-smack…”

Only seven icicles fell from the sky, and every single one missed.

Black Wing turned around and ran. He had no mana now, so if Unending Unmatched caught him now, he would be dead for sure.

“Chase ’em, brothers! Kill him!”

“He’s out of mana! He’s escaping, don’t let him get away…”

Before Unending Unmatched could rush forth, thousands of Invincible Continent players surrounded him from all directions. They had been lying in wait this whole time, so now that they had a chance to storm him, how could they possibly let it pass?

“Let’s see where you run now, punk!”

“Hahaha, he’s out of mana! Everyone, charge!”

The entire crowd honed in on him like a pack of hyenas.

Several hundred attacks crashed toward Black Wing at the same time. If they hit, he would be as good as dead.

“Blizzard!”

Just as everyone thought that Black Wing was dead for sure, an ice crystal appeared around his body suddenly and held back all the attacks. His body rose again, and he unleashed Blizzard.

“No way, he should be out of mana!”

“F*ck me, what equipment is he wearing? Why does he recover mana so quickly?”

The Icicles fell relentlessly, and thousands of players crumbled, one after the other. Initially, Unending Unmatched had nearly caught up to Black Wing, but the sudden Blizzard triggered chaos in the crowd, and he was trapped in the droves of his own countrymen. In the end, he could only watch as the Icicles crashed down on him.

“Ten Miles Frozen!”

The ice crystal spread again, freezing everything within a 50-yard radius. Poor Unending Unmatched was stuck in the crowd, and before he could break free, he was frozen into a popsicle.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

The players trapped in the ice crystal kept losing health, and Unending Unmatched was no exception, naturally. Although the Shieldsword in his hand was still trembling, Black Wing did not stop supplying the crystal with frost aura either. In a mere moment, he had somehow recovered all of his mana.

“Bzzt bzzt bzzt bzzt…”

The Shieldsword was vibrating at an even higher frequency now, and Black Wing’s frost aura grew more intense as well. The two forces collided, neither giving way.

Black Wing’s frost aura came from his mana, but the Shieldsword was fighting back on its own, so if this went on, the Shieldsword would definitely emerge victorious. Unfortunately, Unending Unmatched was not the Shieldsword, and his HP kept falling. The Shieldsword would win, but he could last no longer.

“Swish swish swish—”

Black Wing’s body glowed with blue light, flashing from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. The dense frost aura shot out from the tip of his staff endlessly.

“Holy f*ck, it’s an Unlimited Mana Recovery Potion!

“The punk’s using an Unlimited Mana Recovery Potion!”

Finally, a knowledgeable player recognized it and yelled it out from where he lay on the floor.

The Unlimited Mana Recovery Potion was one of the potions in Pantheon’s most overpowered Unlimited Potion Series. The name said it all; once consumed, the potion temporarily granted players unlimited mana. In other words, he could use his mana constantly!

“Bzzt bzzt bzzt bzzt….”

The Shieldsword was still vibrating, but Black Wing had unlimited mana now, so he could fight it with absolutely no worries. The face-off lasted for a whole 50 seconds before Unending Unmatched finally ran out of HP. His body was frozen into an ice crystal, and this time, he died for real.

Unending Unmatched had lost!

The ice crystal dissipated slowly, and all sorts of equipment clattered to the floor.

Unending Unmatched had dropped one piece of equipment, and the other players dropped a few here and there as well. The ground was littered with equipment, numbering up to at least several hundred items…

Black Wing picked them up one by one and kept them in his Backpack.

“F*ck yo mama!”

“Motherf*cker!”

The Invincible Continent players began cursing again.

There was not much point in their insults, however. Even Unending Unmatched, armed with the Shieldsword, could not defeat him, so who else stood a chance?

Unending Unmatched lay on the ground, unhappy with his defeat. If Black Wing did not have an Unlimited Mana Recovery Potion, if his countrymen had not charged in, if… he may not have lost.

Nevertheless, there were no if’s. The truth of the situation was laid bare in front of his eyes. Unending Unmatched had lost.

Black Wing picked up some of the equipment, but he did not take all of it. After harvesting a few, he stopped.

It was not that he did not want to keep more, it was that his Backpack was already full…

“I killed 8,754 players. It’s my victory.”

Black Wing gave the Region Channel a shoutout and waved his staff, summoning a Space Portal that led to the Fluttering Snow Continent. He then smiled and waved at the others before ducking into the portal, which shattered and vanished behind him…

By the time Unending Unmatched corpse-ran back, all he saw was the ground covered in bodies and no trace of Black Wing whatsoever.

The headhunt propelled the Knock-off Black Wing to instant stardom. Overnight, he had gone from being an unknown knock-off to one of Pantheon’s best players.

When Li Yi logged on and heard about the situation, he watched the footage of Black Wing’s battle three times, paying close attention to every detail. Even then, he was utterly perplexed.

Of the peak-level Ice Wizards from the past life, there did not seem to be anyone called Black Wing. So where did this guy suddenly pop out from?
