Arthur was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. All he had was his long list of titles like The Champion of the World Cyber Games, The King of Brawling and various others. Using these titles, he had gotten himself a wealthy girlfriend, and with her help, his career had gradually gained traction. That was until he felt that she no longer provided value and kicked her out.
During the Pantheon’s Hundred Most Hated Players voting event, Big Cheater Li Yi was ranked third place. Arthur was above him, ranking at second place.
Back in his past life, Li Yi had a limit on how far he scammed others, but the same could not be said for Arthur. Arthur cared only for himself and never considered others.
Arthur’s girlfriend had exposed their fiasco onto the forum, only for Arthur to bite back, saying that the child was not his. He claimed that both he and his best friend had coitus with his girlfriend together, and it was like doing it with a prostitute. He had even prepared material and human evidence, it drove his girlfriend mad.
Abandoning his girlfriend was only the beginning, Arthur was proud and very despicable. He had used his reputation to slander and defame various other girls, especially after he became the King of the Southern Continent. He had filmed himself with all the girls he had ever bedded without exception, and it was only when he sent his computer to be repaired that all these unsightly videos had been exposed; otherwise, no one would have known about these terrible deeds.
Li Yi had also collected Arthur’s videos, of course, it was only due to curiosity…
Li Yi remembered when the videos were exposed, countless girls became severely anguished, and Arthur had left with tears of regret as well. On that night, Arthur had met up with two friends with benefits and had hard-core s*x for the entire night. Unfortunately for him, there were many eyes pinned on him at that time, thus, that incident had inevitably been exposed as well.
“With God as my witness, I swear that it was the girls who had seduced me. I am innocent…” This was Arthur’s excuse regarding the exposed videos.
Never admitting his wrongdoings, always claiming to speak the truth; he was the most prideful, he was the most innocent, it was always the fault of others and he had never done anyone wrong, this man was none other than — Arthur!
Even if Arthur had not teamed up with Defiantly Tyrannical to block the gates, Li Yi would never forgive him!
Li Yi spurred his horse onwards, and with his knowledge of the layout of Dragonbone Waste, he had steered Arthur through various turns and corners. Very quickly, Arthur had already been separated from the main troops.
Fighting solo was not a problem, but if there were too many people, Li Yi could not hold out.
Li Yi stopped only when he reached the edge of a cliff. He turned his horse around and waited for Arthur’s arrival.
Arthur came running with a big grin on his face, he had already seen the edge from a distance and he thought that Li Yi was delirious from fleeing.
“Tap-tap-tap-tap…”
The Tabu Sheep walked with steady strides as it approached Li Yi slowly.
With a blow of a whistle, Lightning Leopard appeared under Li Yi’s feet, and it sneakily disappeared…
With a cold laugh and a wave of his scepter, Arthur summoned an Arcane Elf.
The Wizard class could summon pets, but unlike Summoners and Archers, the pets that Wizards summoned have a time limit, they could only exist for a certain time before vanishing.
The Arcane Elf that Arthur summoned was particularly strong. A normal Arcane Elf only had 3,000 HP, but his Arcane Elf had a maximum HP of 8,000 due to the applied effects of his equipment.
“Swish-swish-swish…”
The Arcane Elf unleashed a barrage of Arcane Missiles that were the size of fingernails, immediately revealing Lightning Leopard.
The Arcane Elf’s ATK was not particularly high, but as a magical creature, it possessed the True Sight ability, which allowed it to see ‘invisible’ and ‘stealth’ units.
Seeing that the Arcane Elf had successfully contained Lightning Leopard, Arthur began to act. He pointed his scepter at Li Yi and a barrage of missiles flew toward Li Yi.
Most of the spells that the Wizard Class can use had the auto-aim feature. From a gameplay mechanics’ point of view, it was much easier to use compared to Archers; there was no need to aim manually, and all you had to do was to point and release.
Certainly, auto-aim only made the caster’s life easier, but it did not always hit. If a dodge is made at the right time, the spells could be evaded.
Holy Light Horse moved horizontally, and as Li Yi was dodging the Arcane Missile, he returned fire using his orange bow.
The orange bow’s appearance reverted to its original form, it was like a soaring phoenix, the arrows it shot no longer merely chirped, but it reverberated with the cries of a phoenix again and again!
Arthur’s eyes grew wide, and as he gnashed his teeth violently, he used Flash to teleport away.
“Frost Rising Star!”
A gust of frigid cold air shot forth toward the surroundings, instantly freezing Li Yi on the spot.
“You think you’re some big shot for using an orange bow? Do you see what I’m holding in my hand? An orange Glorious Scepter, not to mention that it has been blessed three times! Making it way superior to yours!”
One of Arthur’s most hated traits was to compete with others in strength. However, once he saw the awe-inspiring bow that Li Yi held, the jealousy within his heart showed itself.
“To hell with you!”
Arthur lifted Glorious Scepter with both his hands and unleashed a torrent of Magic Burst Spells at Li Yi.
Magic Burst spells do not have cooldowns, as long as there was sufficient mana, it could be cast without limit. The best tactic to use against a Wizard that used Magic Burst spells was to stay as far as possible.
Frost Rising Star’s freezing effect was the same as Frost Trap, once the frozen target received any damage, the effect would be dispelled. With this in mind, Li Yi chanted a Magic Burst Spell, and his body returned back to normal. However, he decided not to increase the gap with Arthur, but to endure the Magic Burst Spells and to hack aggressively at Arthur with his Dancing Wind Sword.
[−542]
[−532]
Magic Burst Spells had average damage, but due to the rapid-fire, Li Yi’s HP dropped rapidly as Arthur bounced around while casting Magic Burst Spells.
Li Yi did not flinch as he hacked with all his might. The Wind Sword’s fearsome speed quickly caught up to the bouncing Arthur, and once the Paralysis effect activated, Arthur was instantly held in place.
Li Yi leaped and using special flying skills, he shot at Arthur from the air.
“Chain Arrow Skill! Eliminate!”
Arthur shook his head, and in a flash, he had dispelled the Paralysis. Shield of light emanated from his body, shielding him from Li Yi’s assault.
Shield of Light lasted for twelve seconds, and it reduced 90% of physical damage.
[−122]
[−322]
Li Yi’s attack had landed on Arthur, but the damage it dealt was insignificant. Conversely, Arcane Impact’s barrage had dealt 2131 damage to Li Yi.
Arcane Impact becomes stronger with usage, it was one of the commonly used spells for Arcane Wizards.
Li Yi twisted his body in mid-air and used Piercing Arrow on Arthur.
“Tch—”
The Shield of Light on Arthur had suddenly evaporated; one of Piercing Arrow’s special effect was that it randomly removed one of the buffs of its target. In this case, the buff removed was Shield of Light.
Crippling Hit!
[−2,234]
With Shield of Light removed, Li Yi’s real damage had finally revealed itself. Arthur hesitated slightly and lifted Glorious Scepter. A ray of white light shot forth from the scepter, and it was as if a miniature sun had exploded.
Glare!
This was Arthur’s blinding skill, should anyone face it directly, and they would immediately enter a state of blindness of ten seconds.
Li Yi turned around to evade the attack and landed near Arthur. Immediately, he wielded Dancing Wind Sword and began hacking at Arthur again.
Wind Sword’s Paralysis effect could not be used continuously, it could only be activated once after a cooldown period. However, judging by the time that had passed, the Paralysis effect was about to activate once again.
Once bitten, twice shy, Arthur had gotten smart and used Flash to increase the gap between them. Following that, he unleashed an unending wave of Arcane Missiles.
Li Yi raised his hand and commanded Holy Light Warhorse to charge ahead.
Against a Wizard who possessed the auto-aim feature, an Archer was definitely at a disadvantage. Hence, Li Yi relied on melee combat to utilize Wind Sword’s special effect.
Arthur had called out Tabu Sheep as well. Although his mount was not as fast as Li Yi’s, it was still better than nothing. With his mount, he could still try to evade, but without it, he would immediately be trampled.
King Arthur’s Glorious Scepter had absurdly strong special effects, one of it being that for every Critical Hit, his health would be replenished by 5%. For a class that depended on Critical Hits like Wizards, this special effect was a godsend. Arthur’s health was pitiful compared to Li Yi’s, but with this skill, he had maintained half his health the entire time.
Arthur’s HP was as high as 5,000+, for a glass cannon like Wizards, this HP pool of his was definitely high.
Li Yi pursued him relentlessly and was willing to take a beating just to pull the gap between them. Li Yi was like a shadow, constantly following Arthur. Arthur was fuming, but he dared not fight in melee combat.
The scepter that Arthur wielded had activated all three blessings.
[Special effect: Critical Hit HP Resumption]
[Special effect: Mana cost for casting spells reduced by half]
[Special skill: The Twelve Knights of the Round Table]
The reason why Li Yi wanted to pull the gap was to avoid Arthur from unleashing The Twelve Knights of the Round Table.
Although Li Yi had never faced that particular skill before, he had seen it in action in his past life. That skill was definitely powerful, as it had decimated all who stood in its path, and it was one of the most practical of all special skills.
The Twelve Knights of the Round Table’s activation method was almost the same as Holy Light Horse’s Group Repentance, as it can target an area to be released at. Once all twelve knights appeared, they will attack those who stood in the area indiscriminately.
By sticking close to Arthur, he could prevent this skill from being activated.
Unbeknownst to Li Yi, Arthur was already planning to use The Twelve Knights of the Round Table. However, this powerful skill came with conditions, and unless he fulfilled them, he could not release it.
Every time a Critical Hit landed, the scepter will automatically generate an orb of energy. The Twelve Knights of the Round Table could only be used when thirty of these orbs have been amassed.
“Shoot at Random!”
Li Yi had already hacked at him twenty times, but Paralysis still had not activated. This was frustrating, thus he changed tactics and used Shoot at Random to initiate combat.
Golden light flashed throughout his body as the arrows shot out from him. Like a bolt from the blue, three arrows had struck Arthur and had reduced his HP to around 500.
“Gulp!”
In this precarious situation, Arthur brought out a golden potion and drank it. He instantly regained all his health, bewildering Li Yi.
Shoot at Random was still active and Arthur was still losing health. However, due to the golden potion he drank, his HP was regenerating as his HP reduced…
As 1,000 HP was lost, 2,000 HP was instantly regained, Arthur’s HP remained perpetually full.
The item he used allowed him to continuously regenerate HP for thirty seconds, it was a super rare HP potion — Divine Spring Water!
After consuming the golden potion, King Arthur’s body hurt so much that even his face twitched a little. With an ominous look on his face, he raised Glorious Scepter and shouted, “Come Out! Knights of the Round!”
All thirty energy orbs have been accumulated, and all twelve of the Knights of the Round Table have been released!
Arthur used Flash to leave the area as twelve silver-armored Knights of the Round Table rode down from the skies with their massive horses, encircling Li Yi in the process.
“We are here under the authority of King Arthur!”
The twelve Knights of the Round Table lifted their swords up high, and a bright light shot forth from their blades, instantly enveloping everything in sight.
“Ding-ding-ding-ding…”
Arthur was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. All he had was his long list of titles like The Champion of the World Cyber Games, The King of Brawling and various others. Using these titles, he had gotten himself a wealthy girlfriend, and with her help, his career had gradually gained traction.
