Chapter 752 - THE FINAL ROUND: YAN YAN VS AH JIN (VI)
BEING held on his wrist like this and being shot at such a close distance, aside from being annoying, Luo Yan only find it troublesome. But after a round of that, Luo Jin quickly let go of him and jumped back. Of course, the other was still shooting at him as he did.
He wasn't surprised by this move. Luo Jin knew that the small flicker of light that his gun produced every time he shot at him could produce a shadow. If they were so close to each other, wouldn't he be able to use his [Shadow Walk] again?
The other was probably hoping that the sudden attack at that short distance could cause a huge damage to him. But unfortunately, Luo Yan still managed to dodge and block even at such a distance. Even if he was grazed and wounded, none of his vital spots were hit. So, at the end, the attack that Luo Jin made just became useless.
As his brother kept on shooting at him, Luo Yan also jumped back. In his peripheral vision, he saw the flashlight that he left earlier. He jumped to that direction and then pretended to be hit so he could fall down with no suspicion. He rolled towards the flashlight and picked it up. He turned it off and quickly hid it in his robe.
This flashlight would be very important in the strategy that he just came up with. He only hoped that his brother would respond in the way he expected the other would.
Before Luo Jin could think that something was wrong, Luo Yan quickly rushed to where the other was.
Luo Jin indeed did not notice his brother's small movements. Mostly because he was thinking of what his next move would be. The effect of [Deluminating Crystal] would soon come to an end. But he still hadn't made any major progress.
While thinking of what he should do next, a certain skill came to mind. Using that, he could also utilize the black crystal. But for it to work, he had to make sure that Luo Yan couldn't use his [Shadow Walk] no matter what.
That small flashlight earlier was a problem. Speaking of that item, just where was it? He quickly glanced around but didn't find it. Could his brother had taken it back without him noticing? Thinking of when the other rolled on the ground just a few moments ago, it probably was during that moment.
That meant his brother could use it anytime. Knowing Luo Yan, he would definitely use it at the most critical moment. Probably to catch him off-guard. So, if he wanted to use the skill he just thought of, he needed to do it fast and not give the other any chance to counter-attack.
But if he couldn't do so and he felt like the possibility of his brother being able to use that flashlight would hinder him, he still had a way to prevent that from happening. He had an item that he got as a reward after he cleared a dungeon. It could seal a player's Items Tab.
When he first got it, his first thought was, just where would he use such a thing? He didn't expect that a chance would come here. He was glad that he didn't end up throwing it away.
Before Luo Jin could think more, Luo Yan had already arrived in front of him. This time, the other's attacks were even more ferocious. He was swinging and thrusting his daggers as if there was no tomorrow.
Luo Jin used his fire gun to block while he used his ice gun to attack back. While dodging if he could, of course. Each attack that he had to block forced him to step back. And each step he took, he was getting closer and closer to the black crystal.
It wouldn't take a genius not to notice what his brother was planning. He knew that Luo Yan might also be planning something. It's just a matter of who would do it faster.
He was waiting for the right time to use his skill when Luo Yan suddenly disappeared in front of him. Before he could react, he felt someone grabbing him from behind. Who else could it be but his brother?
Feeling his body being lifted in the air, he knew that the next thing that would happen wouldn't be anything good. There were only two things that could happen next. Either Luo Yan stabbed him or the other forcefully dragged him to the black crystal.
Honestly speaking, he thought both were a bit reckless. But he didn't have time to analyzed further because by the time he finished, maybe he was already defeated. So, he quickly took out a piece of paper charm from his Items Tab and secretly attached it to Luo Yan's robe as he was struggling to get out of the other's hold. He then put his fire gun on the holster, so he could move better.
Before his brother could try to encage him with his arm, he pointed the tip of his ice gun on Luo Yan's arm that's across his chest. He activated his skill [Polarity] and then shot. The bullet did not pass Luo Yan's arm and stayed there. At the same time, he headbutted the other's face, causing his brother to let go of him.
The moment his feet landed on the ground, he didn't waste time and pointed the gun at the point near the black crystal, just within its effective range. Then, fired.
[Polarity] immediately took effect. A red ring appeared on the part of Luo Yan's arm where Luo Jin shot and a green ring on the part near the black crystal. A blue line appeared connecting the two rings. This blue line would pull the two together, like the opposite poles of magnets. And since Luo Yan was a moving target, he would be pulled towards the green ring.
Knowing what would happen next, his body unconsciously relaxed. But that's probably the stupidest thing he did. Because before the blue line pulled Luo Yan towards the green ring, Luo Jin suddenly felt something grasping his arm tightly.
And then, he just felt his whole body being pulled along with Luo Yan!
He looked at his brother and saw the other grinning at him. He was confused. He couldn't understand what the other was planning. Even if he pulled him like this, Luo Yan would still be the first to hit the black crystal. That's when he saw the flashlight being held by his brother's other hand.
Luo Jin quickly understood what Luo Yan was planning.
That's when it dawned on him that everything was probably deliberate. From the moment the other suddenly grabbed him from behind, no, maybe even much earlier than that. Luo Yan was gambling on the fact that he would use [Polarity] since very beginning!
Luo Jin shot the other, trying to salvage the situation. But the other just moved his head, dodging the bullet. He was almost out of MP because of his constant use of [Bullet Volley] earlier and immediately followed it up with [Polarity]. He could only use normal attacks right now. But that didn't matter because they were already near the black crystal!
When they were only two steps away from the crystal, Luo Yan dropped the flashlight and threw Luo Jin towards the black crystal with his other hand. Then, he decisively cut his arm with the red ring. The moment he was free from the blue line, he dived straight into the shadows.
And Luo Jin just felt his back hitting a solid object – the black crystal.
