Chapter 77 Exodia Vs All-STARS Part 2
The hologram of the picker wheel appeared before Dilip and Aditya approached the hologram and pressed the start button. The picker wheel started spinning again, and this time Dilip didn't waste any time; he pressed the stop button. When the commentator and audience saw this, they sighed in relief.
The picker wheel started slowing down before coming to a halt. The commentator announced, "The battlefield for this fight will be the forest."
The forest ground soon came into view. It was filled with trees everywhere, only leaving some space in between, but this was not all; the trees were a little small. The instructor with Plant Element cast a spell that made these trees grow taller quickly in front of everyone.
Both teams entered the battleground and took their respective positions. 'It appears that the goddess of fortune has blessed me today,' said Rishi when he looked at the battlefield.
Dev winked at Rishi, to which Rishi nodded and gave him thumbs-up before walking away from the other teammates.
This signaled that they would use their trump card in today's battle. Many people noticed Rishi moving back but thought it was because he would play the sniper roler. Only the All-Stars members knew what Rishi would do next, but there was one more person who could guess Rishi's intentions, and that was Kajal.
"What a loser! How can he run away? Isn't he number one in the kill ranking? I told you Kajal doesn't deserve that rank," complained Sakshi.
"Keep an eye on him; you will see something interesting," replied Kajal.
Does the All-Star team have a strategy? Rishab is moving back, but moving away will not give him any advantage. It will be more difficult to attack from that distance," said the commentator.
Dilip has also separated from the rest of the team; he was looking for Vaibhav because he expected Vaibhav to use a hit-and-run strategy in this type of battlefield. Rishi Stopedhads reached the perfect place; he heard the sound of a loud whistle, which signaled the start of the battle.
Everyone, including Rishi, summoned their contract beast; he summoned his second contract beast and commanded him to assist other team members. Both guilds could not locate the other guild's position, so they moved forward slowly. Dilip and Vaibhav were giving vision to their teammates by exploring the battlefield.
Some time has passed, and both guilds have a rough idea of their opponents. Exordia's four members and All-STARS' three members stared at each other, trying to measure their opponents' strengths roughly. Despite being outnumbered, Al-STARS was not at a disadvantage because Jay constantly interrupted the opponent's mage whenever he was trying to cast a big spell.
As soon as Vakar cast, he attacked opponents and broke the enemy mage's barrier.
Vakar used the 'Rainy Day' skill from the beginning, forcing Exodia into a defensive position. When this battle occurred, two spearmen looked at each other on the other side.
"You have grown balls," said Dilip in a sarcastic way.
"I am a different person now, but you are the same as before. Arrogant and dumb, I will give you a chance if you surrender now; I will let you go," replied Vaibhav.
"You have not changed at all; You are still an idiot who will ask for a mile if offered an inch. I saw how that Tyagi clan brat treats you, You have grown so used to bowing that now you can't even look straight," said Dilip.
"That's enough talk; I will defeat you now and prove to everyone that I am the best," said Vaibhav as he started charging his magic beast toward Dilip.
"See, that's why you can never be the best; you always ask for validation from others. You don't have confidence in yourself; you will always remain a frog in a well," said Dilip as he also started charging at Vaibhav.
They both started fighting with their full strength, due to which the trees near them were breaking apart. They both continued their duel without caring about how the others were doing.
The fight between other members has also progressed. Exodia members had the upper hand over All-STARS. Aditya has also noticed that Rishi is not present, so he guesses that he might be fighting with Vaibhav. This is a wonderful opportunity for Exodia to take care of these three members before assisting Vaibhav.
Aditya could feel the victory in his hands. The mage of Exodia got the opportunity to cast a big spell. Hehads succeeded in casting his most powerful spell and was about to launch it toward All-Stars when he suddenly felt uneasy, but he chose to ignore it as he could hear the cries of opponents, which brought a smirk to his face.
But just as he was about to release the spell, Rishi emerged from his shadow and attacked him with a 'quick draw,' after which Rishi used his 'phantom steps' movement skill to get closer to the archer, after which he used the 'Triangle Slash' Sword Technique to take care of him as well. Everything happened so fast that only two cries were heard, and everyone saw two Exodia members teleporting and Rishi standing in their place, looking at Aditya with a cold smirk on his face.
Rishi started attacking Aditya, giving him no chance to comprehend what had just happened. Aditya blocked Rishi's attack, and they both started exchanging moves. When Aditya saw that he couldn't match Rishi's speed typically, he also used his movement skill.
The fight continued. After exchanging moves for some time, Aditya stepped back to take a breath, and the audience looked at the conditions of both. Rishi had some minor cuts, while Aditya's body was full of many wounds from which blood was coming. He was also breathing heavily, as he was fighting for more time than Rishi, and he didn't have a passive skill that restored stamina as Rishi did.
"How dare you ambush my teammates, you trash? If you were a man, you would have fought honorably," Aditya retorted angrily.
"Look who's teaching me about pride and honor—a piece of trash that is nothing without his clan's support. Why did you seek assistance from your clan? Isn't it also unfair?" Rishi asked.
"You also know how many resources are needed to form a guild. It is impossible to create a successful guild by yourself; what have I done wrong by borrowing resources from my clan?" said Aditya.
"It was you who brought up the topic of honor and fairness; I was showing you the mirror. Now bow down to me and surrender, or you know what I will do to you," said Rishi with a cruel expression on his face.
"Eliminate me like others; I will never surrender in terms of bowing; I have never even bowed down to my parents, so there is no way I am bowing down to a nameless bastard like you," Aditya replied, laughing, but as he laughed, a sword flashed through and made a large cut on his right hand.
"I know a douchebag like you won't have enough manners to respect even his parents, but I don't think they'll mind if I teach you some. They might even be eternally grateful to me if I made you humble," Rishi said as he stabbed Aditya again, causing Aditya to cry out in pain.
