Chapter 458 Final Round (4)
Chapter 458 Final Round (4)
Two participants that no one had ever known about came out of nowhere and dominated the round; the ones that faced them were forced to surrender. No one was even able to escape from them.
Now that the battle was not that interesting, the commentator tried to make the audience interested by explaining the two mysterious participants. He had invited a guest to decode the fighting style of Rishi.
The one who was a fan favorite was Rishi Rawat; there were many reasons for it. One was his unusual fighting style; how he eliminated three opponents simultaneously mesmerized everyone.
"Everyone, I would like you to focus on Behraham's analysis of the five-step attack style of Rishi Rawat. The commentator said this," making onlookers pay attention.
"There is a five-step attack style in which he attacks his opponents, which is slightly different from the three-step style most assassins use. I will first explain the traditional three-step attack style," he said, which made everyone curious.
"The first step is to conceal and approach; the second is to launch an attack; and the final is to retreat. This looks basic, but we assassins spend years mastering these three steps until it becomes an instinct," he said, which made others nod as this was how Assasin class was meant to be used.
"However, his approach is different: First Step Concealment, Second Step Full Concealment+Movement Speed, Third Step Mark and Bind, Fourth Step Attack, and Last Step Retreat." The others were astonished; now they understood what those arrowheads were.
"The reason other assassins cannot attack multiple opponents is because of the accuracy of their attacks. They also lack AOE attacks that can one-shot opponents. Rishi, however, is someone who has them all. It's a style developed for only him."
"His zone is the reason for this, instead of going with the traditional way of using zones. He made it mark his opponents and give him multiple dashes; these abilities might not have been overpowered if another guy was using them."
"However, his chain ability is one of the best binding techniques I have seen. Its speed, strength, and maneuverability are all unbelievable. It might be one of the most versatile techniques I have seen." He said it in an astonished tone.

Two figures could be seen below the cloudy sky, looking at the battle between two big groups. One side had forty participants, while the other side had fifty opponents.
Both sides were going all out, fighting at their full strength with their contracted beasts summoned. It was a mess, and seeing who had the advantage was tough. Contract Beasts and Beast Tamers were launching their skills to eliminate their opponents.
Vinay looked at the situation before taking out his 'Book of Contracts' and preparing himself for what he was about to do: "Give me five minutes to prepare my spells. Once I am done, you can charge at them."
"The ones here are stronger than the ones we faced at the beginning; I am approaching the battlefield from the side. I will launch my attack and take out the mages and archers on the right-hand side," said Rishi before taking something from his hand.
Onlookers looking at the battle on the screen were confused. They could see Rishi holding something, but nothing appeared on the screen. Rishi threw something in the air before turning into smoke and disappearing.
The moment he appeared on the other side of the battlefield, it appeared as if he had teleported. He appeared nowhere in the camera's view, and the only way everyone could track him was through trackers.
"What was that technique? He teleported two kilometers away. He was on the western side but crossed the battlefield and appeared on the eastern side," asked the commentator.
"I will be honest, Arun. I have no idea what that was. It's rare for assassins to have such a teleport-type technique. However, what I am surprised about is not that. The most exciting part is that he didn't leave a trace behind." The moment Beraham mentioned this, many people noticed.
The camera didn't notice any energy signatures. "What sorcery is this? I have no idea. It's a broken skill if he can use it to attack any opponent. No matter how prepared they are, no one sees an ambush coming from that far," he added.
have been enough to dominate this round. This is overkill," said the commentator.
"They both look like participants who like to fight individually. It might be controversial to say that, but I believe even one would have been enough to dominate this round. This is overkill," said the commentator.
"I think they will be directly accepted without the need to participate in the upcoming trials. With them, this round would have no meaning," he added.

Meanwhile, the battlefield became fiercer as the battle continued. No one had expected something like that to happen. However, onlookers held their breaths, knowing something the rest of the fighters didn't.
Two tigers were eyeing the battlefield and could pounce at any moment. However, everyone was disappointed when nothing happened.
One..Two... Four minutes passed, and still, the two didn't attack, which frustrated them. They thought that maybe they were not that strong and were waiting for other participants to get tired.
Five.. A black sun appeared in the sky when the five-minute mark was hit. Everyone who looked at him found that they had become weaker, and their movement speed was decreased. The next moment, countless undead soldiers started charging at the ranged damage dealers of the left group.
Undeads came from a strange black and red magic circle near the damage dealers. This gave them no chance to retreat; they were forced to face the horde of the countless undeads head-on.
This created a sandwich situation for them, where they suffered massive losses. The right-hand group decided to first eliminate the other group. It would not be that hard to deal with the Dark Mage later.
As if the world were trying to create equilibrium, a phantom appeared in the backlines of the group on the right side. A black circular ring appeared again with a purple border.
It was large enough to cover most of the damage. A mark appeared above their heads, and thousands of chains appeared the next moment. This caused a heart attack among the onlookers.
No one had ever heard of such an attack; they were also surprised by the mana of the one who cast it. He looked completely fine; the chains combined and turned into seventeen hands before approaching their targets.
This transformation reduced the speed of the chains, but the enhanced strength was enough to break apart the defensive spells of most of the opponents. However, due to having so many opponents, two were able to escape the attack.
One was an archer with a powerful movement technique that allowed him to dodge the chains and escape out of their range. Another was a magician who used instant casting and teleported out of the battlefield.
Archer, however, was not that lucky; four chakras appeared around him and tore apart his leather armor. He was forced to surrender the moment he was caught by a chain different from the one used by Rishi.
This one was thicker and constantly oozing purple light. It gave him no chance to escape. With a smile on his face, the archer surrendered; there was nothing he could do.
What happened next was an even bigger flex. Rishi took out a compound bow and knocked on a black-colored arrow shining in a purple light. He closed his left eye, and an eye appeared one kilometer away from him that scanned the area before focusing on one side.
He pulled the string back. Shadow energy was released from his hand and concentrated at the tip of his arrow. The moment he released it, the arrow launched at a speed faster than a bullet.
It tore through the air, leaving behind a trail of black smoke. The next moment, a cry was heard three kilometers away. The mage had never expected he would be attacked from so far.
If he knew, he would have teleported farther. However, he paid the price for being greedy; the only good news was that he was hit on the shoulder on the left side. The arrow pierced through him, leaving behind a fist-sized hole that looked like a spiral.
This was an advanced version of the spiral arrow technique that Rishi had come up with. It was not a big deal for him. After creating so many techniques, he became a master of the craft of making new techniques.
The mage thought he was lucky and was about to move when he found the black-colored Miasma. It started spreading in his body like a deadly venom. He was scared and decided to surrender.
Rishi had already started attacking the remaining opponents. He snatched the badges from them, forcing them to leave.
