Chapter 104: Slash Part 2
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Battles were definitely not Yang Kong’s strong point, but even he knew that electricity had a numbing effect and the constant change of position would slow down the attack speed of the dragon’s tongue. Exploiting the blindspot of the tongue was also a viable choice.
Furthermore, Anthony buffed himself with Lightning Armor. Every time the Raider dragon’s tongue hit him, it would numb the tongue, hence slowing it down.
However, maintaining the high speed and defensive Lightning Armor was a heavy burden for Anthony, so how long could he last?
Even if his sword was forged with a bit of super material like rank 1 superalloy, how much damage could he inflict on the dragon?
The natural defenses of a Level 3 vicious beast varied depending on the species, and the Raider dragon was certainly one of the strongest ones.
After three seconds of serious thought, Yang Kong issued a new order, “Artillery squad, stand by and get ready to be deployed.”
Losing a rank 3 Purple Moon Warrior was an extremely heavy cost for Safety Sector No. 17. The damage would be higher than what the sector could endure.
“Where is... your trust... in me?” At that exact moment, Anthony’s figure suddenly appeared back on the screen and he was standing in front of the Raider dragon.
It was definitely not an advantageous position. If the Raider dragon’s most powerful weapon was its tongue, its front would be the best position for it to unleash the full power of the tongue.
Such a doubt popped up in Tang Ling’s heart. If he were in Anthony’s shoes, he would escape left and right, up and down, and use every single route to dodge. If he could somehow make the dragon’s tongue knotted up, that would be the best outcome.
“I won’t gamble with your life.” Yang Kong was still as calm as ever.
Fuaa!
Anthony lifted his sword. His body then straightened up as if a heavy burden was lifted up and he was able to relax.
Even though the high-speed battle lasted for only 4 to 5 seconds, Anthony’s body was filled with injuries. Even his armor suffered many cracks and breaks, and his body was tainted with his own blood, making it look like bloody flowers had bloomed on him.
On the other hand, the Raider dragon was not as damaged as Anthony. Although its body had over a dozen wounds of various sizes, only three to five spots were bleeding green. There was not much bleeding, and it seemed to have stopped anyway.
The only thing that seemed to have put the dragon in a bad spot was the wounds that Anthony inflicted on its body. There were still sparks blitzing around the wounds and the buzzes were numbing to the ears.
Anthony was not moved by Yang Kong’s words. He continued to brandish his sword with his right hand and his left hand gestured two fingers at Yang Kong.
“Instructor Yang Kong, is he mocking you?” Orston suddenly thought of the culture of the old civilization. In his own opinion, if anyone had that much disbelief in his fight, he would surely scold or beat the person instead of just taunting with a gesture.
Yang Kong forcefully suppressed his desire to go on a rampage on the young warrior and simply threw a reply at Orston, “No.”
Another female warrior explained to Orston, “Anthony is saying that if he attacks, he’ll settle the battle within 2 seconds.”
“2 seconds?” Orston was truly shocked. No matter how he looked at it, Anthony did not seem to be on the winning side.
After Orston’s surprise cry, Anthony sneered at the dragon for one last time. “Come on, baby! You seem like a male lizard, so why don’t we man up and settle this once and for all? Or... are you a female lizard that lays eggs?”
What kind of mockery was that? Amidst the chuckles and snickers, Yang Kong looked even more upset. Compared to Fei Long, Anthony was a lot more vulgar.
The mocking worked amazingly as the Raider dragon was enraged.
Anthony also retreated rapidly as he sneered at the lizard as though he was conscious about what was going to happen. He moved even quicker than his typical Transient Steps and retreated by more than ten steps in one go.
On the screen, Anthony’s figure flashed back ten times, but with the ten flashes, bolts of lightning were left on his trail, hence forming a concentrated electric web.
“He’s slashed at least a hundred times. The Night Lightning that he’s wielding was forged with special material, allowing him to unleash around 3,000 volts of electricity by exerting the slightest strength. If he slashes with all his might, the electric current that he can unleash... Ah, I can’t calculate that. That’s his secret.
“But compared to real lightning, it’s still some distance away, so it’s, at most, a spark. He’s still searching for the essence of lightning.” Yang Kong was a very patient teacher as he explained at the right moment when the young warriors were confused about how Anthony formed the electric web.
However, the knowledge that he revealed was still far for Tang Ling and the others to understand.
Tang Ling felt like Yang Kong was not just explaining things to them, but he was also seizing the chance to look down on Anthony, deeming his abilities as nothing stellar.
Regardless of how Yang Kong deemed Anthony’s abilities, the latter managed to attract cheers from all over the command center.
He turned around and looked at the camera. Then, he ripped his broken helmet away and revealed his bloody face. He whistled and said loudly, “2 seconds, right? I won.”
Indeed, he had won. He stabbed Night Lightning right in front of him and somehow nailed the dragon’s tongue down!
There was no need for questions about how he did it. At least, Tang Ling did not have any.
It was the success of Anthony’s tactic. From the moment he decided to retreat and spread his electric web on his trail, his victory was decided.
Electric had a numbing effect. When the Raider dragon’s tongue went after him, it had to go through the web of electricity and after all the numbing, how much speed did its tongue have left?
This particular move displayed Anthony’s strength and capabilities perfectly, but why did he not use it from the start?
Tang Ling raised a brow. He faintly looked askance at Yang Kong who seemed like an amateur in judging a battle.
“Goodbye, baby. If I can’t break you from the outside, what about the inside?” Anthony gripped his Night Lightning with both his hands and pushed it deeper and as he spoke. Then, a massive amount of electric current went through the sword and electrocuted the lizard’s tongue.
The Raider dragon was instantly wrapped in an electric web. Its enormous body could not help but tumble around and twitch like a giant bolt of lightning rolling on the ground.
Because its tongue was struck, the electric current passed straight into its organs and damaged its internals. No matter how strong its exterior body was, it was useless against such an attack.
Therefore, the Raider dragon was certainly fried.
Swoosh!
Anthony pulled his Night Lighting out of the tongue and wiped the blood off his face. He turned around and looked towards the Watchtower as if he was looking at Yang Kong through the distance.
“According to the rules, I’ll take a third of what it has, but its energy crystal core is all mine. I’ve lost my armor after all, and Night Lightning released some high voltage electric current, so it has to go through checks and repairs either.”
This was actually the problem when it came to the distribution of spoils. This particular scene should not have been shown to the new New Moon Warriors though.
Yang Kong puckered his lips and rejected him, “You can only take half of the energy crystal core. You can actually settle this fight easily since your lightning could have restrained its speed, but why didn’t you do it from the start?”
