Chapter 73

As Alpha used a [Flash Step] to dart to the optimal attack position, the bard at the back of the team also got a clear view of the figure who had been standing far away but now suddenly appeared right in front of him.

— At this moment, it was obvious what the sudden appearance of this person meant, and the bard couldn't help but be startled.

What surprised the bard even more was that he couldn't fathom how the person who had been watching from the doorway over ten meters away could suddenly rush over in an instant.

The so-called light steps were something he couldn't understand even in his wildest dreams.

The bard's surprise didn't stop there; the most shocking thing was that he recognized who the person was!!!

In fact, the bard had already seen someone in the distance at the beginning, but with the advantage of numbers, he didn't take the distant figure seriously and naturally didn't pay attention to who it was.

Now, seeing clearly up close, it was no small matter.

At this moment, the face that appeared in the mind of the bard, named "Fearless," could be described as "terrifying." It was the face that had made "League of Legends" stink both in the game and on the forums...

"Rubbish Brother?!"

The bard wanted to shout a warning to the team, as everyone else was busy and had no time to pay attention to this suddenly and obviously ill-intentioned mage.

However, he couldn't speak because he was playing [Boost Courage]—blowing a flute requires using the mouth, and once he started playing, he couldn't speak unless he stopped.

[Boost Courage] is a song that can comprehensively increase damage, which is very helpful in PvP. The bard clearly intended to finish playing before giving the warning.

However, these few seconds made all the difference. Missing the opportunity to sound the alarm, the bard would never have another chance:

Alpha gave a strange smile and suddenly waved his hand. The transparent large hand that had pulled the ranger's ankle reappeared, directly grabbing the bard's neck and tightly choking his throat.

The sudden "large hand" not only interrupted the bard's performance but also prevented him from shouting due to the grip on his throat.

Indeed, it was [Mage Hand] again, powered by 16 points of strength, which could enhance the strength value by 150% and, with [0th Level Spell Mastery], further enhance it by 50%, making it a [5th Level Mage Hand]!!!

In front of Alpha, who had 16 points of abnormal strength, the bard was like a warrior with 36 points of strength!!!

With [0th Level Spell Mastery], Alpha could use this spell without any cost, but he would have to bear a 1-second cooldown increase for each use in the same battle.

This 1 second was just enough for Alpha to move into position, and [Mage Hand] would be ready to use again, pulling the bard by the neck.

— Pulling him to the front of the line formed by 8 players with low health, including mages, warlocks, and rangers!!!

Skewer the kebab!!!

Alpha's free hand drew a glowing [Basic Light Arrow], the tip pointing straight at the bard, who was still trying to process what had happened in the past few seconds. With a slight flick of his wrist,

[Sleeve Arrow], with 40 points of internal energy!!! Target, forehead!!! Intermediate critical point, 4x damage multiplier!!!

The bard was right in front of him, and at such a close distance, Alpha couldn't possibly miss.

This arrow, with the base physical attack of [Sleeve Arrow] at 45 points, would deal 4x (40 + 45) = 340 points of damage when hitting the forehead!!! Adding the 30% light damage from [Basic Light Arrow] would make it 340 + 102, a total of 440 points!!!

Even accounting for the bard's defense, this would deal at least 400 points of damage.

If [Light Penetration] activated, the main target's internal energy damage would also be counted as light damage, making it 40x4 + 102 = 262 points!!!

This would at least reduce the 8 ranged attackers to critical health, and if the mages and warlocks had low constitution, it could even kill them!!!

There was a reason Alpha chose to infuse only 40 points of internal energy:

Because the 30% chance of [Light Penetration] might not activate on the first [Sleeve Arrow]. If Alpha infused the full 102 points or more, the bard would definitely be killed,

— 4x forehead critical, without the 30% light damage, would already deal 450-500 points of damage, and with the 30% light damage, it would be at least 500-600 points.

The bard, though not anemic, would find it hard to have more than 500 health at level 20.

In that case, Alpha would lose the main target necessary for [Basic Light Arrow] to penetrate, and it would certainly alarm the entire League of Legends team, making it harder to skewer the kebab. Alpha needed to save the opportunity for a second arrow.

Of course, this was also to save internal energy, as using 100 points at a time would be much more wasteful than using 40 points at a time.

The facts proved that Alpha's choice was correct,

-312 + 93 (light)!!!

The first arrow indeed did not trigger [Light Penetration]. The arrow, glowing with brilliant light, pierced the bard's forehead but did not emerge from his back.

The 405 points of total damage made the bard want to scream, but he couldn't, as his throat was still being choked. The low, muffled sounds he made were not enough to attract attention in the intense battle.

However, the bard had now reacted, and the effect of [Mage Hand] was about to wear off. He struggled to cast a spell.

"What's the rush?"

Alpha smiled and waved his hand again. A glittering crossbow bolt shot towards the bard "Fearless"...

The brilliant golden light pierced the bard's forehead for the second time, abruptly stopping an unfinished arcane incantation, as if the caster's throat had been choked.

In fact, this time it was not [Mage Hand] that choked the caster's throat, but a golden string of numbers formed by two different values:

-320 + 96 (light)!!!

The bard, whose last bit of health was drained, stared in terror at the mage known as the "League of Legends" nemesis, "Rubbish Brother," and fell backward due to the inertia.

What he couldn't see was a golden light that pierced through the back of his head and flew straight towards another group of people,

Or, a line of people...

[Light Penetration]!!! Triggered!!!

-300!!!

-300!!!

-300!!!

...

...

A total of 8 players from 8 different classes took 300 points of damage each, and 5 of them fell without making any reaction, not even realizing what had happened.

The only remaining standing caster, a warlock with an initial constitution of 16 points, turned around in shock and saw a shiny crossbow bolt coming towards him...

-38!!!

This arrow, which Alpha had not infused with internal energy, dealt low damage but was enough to drain the last bit of health from the warlock, who was already critically injured.

Two rangers, who had just reacted, raised their hands to focus fire on the mage holding the short crossbow—yes, a mage, a face so familiar. Mage and short crossbow? Short crossbow and mage?!

"Rubbish Brother!!! Ah!!!"

-70!!!

Another short crossbow bolt hit a ranger's throat, a critical hit!!! Remaining health 0!!!

The other ranger tried to run away, thinking that as long as he reached the protection range of the melee, he would be safe. Whether it was the warrior's [Charge] or the rogue's [Pummel], both could effectively control the opponent and protect himself.

However, everything seemed to be out of the ranger's expectations:

Have you ever seen a mage run faster than a ranger?

Have you ever seen a mage cover several meters in a blink of an eye?

Have you ever seen a mage stab two fingers into someone's chest and shout [Heart Stop]?

Of course, the ranger didn't fully understand the last part. He didn't even know if Alpha had pressed his entire palm on his heart.

The ranger only knew that the moment he tried to run, the mage appeared in front of him at an incomprehensible speed.

This speed, though not as fast as abilities with instant movement effects, was certainly not something a 20th-level mage without learning 3rd-level spells like [Blink] or [Dimension Door] could achieve.

— Even with acceleration spells like [Oil of Slipperiness] or [Cat's Grace], a mage couldn't do this.

But the guy in front of him had done it, and even had time to give him a [Heart Stop]!!!

-176!!!

KO!!! 4 mages, 2 warlocks, 2 rangers, 1 bard!!!

Alpha used a total of 2 [Basic Light Arrows], 2 regular [Copper Crossbow Bolts], and one [Heart Stop]!!!

Of course, except for the [Sleeve Arrow] used to fire the 2 [Basic Light Arrows], the remaining three moves did not require internal energy.

"Shit!!! It's Rubbish Brother!!!"

"What happened? Why are there only a few left? What about the bard?!"

"Rubbish Brother did it, shit!!!"

"Kill him first!!!"

...

...

Seeing that the entire ranged team was dead, the remaining League of Legends players realized who was the most dangerous person. They immediately abandoned the war priest they had been focusing on and charged towards Alpha, shouting curses...
