Semifinals Of The 1v1 Segment (3—Last Part)

 

 

 

'Hmm, it didn't break even a little? It doesn't even have any glow, what weapon or tool is that?' Thought Raoundozia as he had already began a charge, an ordinary one that is, with his heavy long sword's edge pointing at Yun Beishang who had just now received his shadow's dark-gray attack.

Meanwhile, Yun Beishang was quite a bit impressed with the mightiness of this skill, from seeing it to experiencing it... yup, no wonder Baston would lose so badly against him in this Global Tournament. Besides that, Raoundozia's equipment had tons of Damage Reduction with barely any health nor defenses, it also had tons of speed of all kinds which made it even harder to kill in this Global Tournament's settings and rules.

...swish...

"...?" And then, just as he got off from the shadow's overwhelming power behind that strike, Yun Beishang saw a cute boy come his way with a dangerous weapon pointed at him. At such, Yun Beishang deflected that annoying fly the fuck away and proceeded to try and give the boy a slap on the chin.

That was in Yun Beishang's eyes, and possibly the people that know how goddamn his fighting style and capabilities are and where they laid at, but for the eyes of Raoundozia, the crowds, his darling and even Baston who had already fought him before; those moves that Yun Beishang thought were made so casually, brought him an insane amount of respect, admiration and envy!

As Raoundozia was trying to return Yun Beishang the favor by also aiming at his chest and let the enigmatic Tongqiu feel what is real, his blade was suddenly deflected, it not even being a parry as it was send to the left with its tip being the one that now felt incredibly heavy. Just as Raoundozia held tight his sword's handle, he redirected it with all his strength while also wishing for some luck as the handle barely managed to protect his chin.

Swish-po!

-2,400.

Though he was damaged still nonetheless, Raoundozia wasn't sent flying away again and had only gained a momentum from that attack after 'receiving' it. With a step backwards with his left foot, Raoundozia rotated to his left with his sword still having that force of being deviated onto its tip as he made a full 360 degree rotation, his sharp heavy long sword's blade now coming straight at Yun Beishang's left shoulder.

Trlck. Clank!

Yun Beishang blocked it and sent it upwards this time, with one of the extremes of the now 0.60 meters long staff aiding Yun Beishang like it was his own protector with just the right size.

Whoop!

Dodging the incoming right palm of Yun Beishang, Raoundozia felt really too defenseless at any incoming attacks that his opponent made, feeling like only dodging was his one and only option to deal with Yun Beishang. As such, when the right palm came towards him, Raoundozia abruptly made several steps back while using his heavy long sword to point it at Yun Beishang.

Chasing him, Yun Beishang began sending multiple staff attacks as his Mind-Sensory Staff became a comical ever growing and ever shrinking staff; growing as large as even 10 meters when swept through the air above himself or to his left or right side and shrinking when retracting his Staff to swing, thrust or smack it down against the fleeting fly over and over again.

Pong~, pam! CRUSH! Swish, wang... pong~, pam!...

Over and over again, Raoundozia was forced to target Yun Beishang's wrists that each held the absurd staff while focusing most of his capabilities to dodge instead of dealing damage. His HP was already of 5,200 and he had already very well learnt his lesson; which was: to fight Tongqiu one on one, not bad! But to fight him like this until the end, very bad!

Tshin~, pwlooagh!

At this time, after Raoundozia was chased around the arena for an actual amount of a few hundreds of meters, his long heavy sword gleamed strongly with a murky gray color as he brandished diagonally aimed at Yun Beishang's torso. When Raoundozia sent forth his slash, a wave of energy came from the sword's blade as it left it and continued to travel onwards to Yun Beishang himself.

Not reacting in the slightest, Yun Beishang turned his Staff into a 0.25 meters long, but always 3 inches thick Staff as he used it to casually parry the incoming skill. While many eyes were looking at this change of a scene in front of their eyes who were now anticipating like crazy dogs, they instead saw not only not a second wave of energy be shot off from Raoundozia's shadow, but they did not even see any of the two on the arena do nothing besides running; one fleeing, another chasing.

While the crowd became disappointed, Raoundozia's eyes met Yun Beishang's, who were similarly the same; both pairs of eyes were somewhat serious but more than anything, fully spirited with the intention of battling!

"..." As they kept on moving ceaselessly, Raoundozia slowly formed a light smile, as he did so did his movement slowly came to a halt. While Raoundozia was like this, Yun Beishang mimicked him by slowly coming to a halt at the same moment that Raoundozia did, and with his staff growing as large as 2 meters in length, they both remained on the spot in silence.

Cling~, wooong woooong wooooong~!

After nodding once and exhaling out a nice amount of air; as it was puffed from both his mouth and nostrils, Raoundozia sheathed his heavy long sword magically in a sheath that was definitely not the sword's size. He then unsheathed it, and as he did, his sword turned a splendid and vigorous gray metallic color while the handle seemed to become much more refined and ordinary instead.

At the same time, Yun Beishang tilted his chin to his left shoulder and raised his eyebrows ever so slightly, for as he began to feel strange squirming and tingling sensations at the left and right corners of his eyes. Immediately after, he let his grounded Mental Power out, immediately realizing that there were many 'Raoundozias' around, all doing the same kind of pose as Raoundozia himself.

The real Raoundozia placed his right arm onto his sternum, but not quite, as he then elevated his heavy long sword pointing skywards as if the long and heavy damn thing was as feeble as a leaf, thinner than a leaf.

The hidden shadows of sparkling metallic gray color did the same, and as they did, the tips of their swords began to emanate a effervescent energy which the condensed with Raoundozia himself as the center, a laser beam of a bright gray color that was forming a 3-heads-of-Raoundozia-sized ball of bright gray energy atop Raoundozia's head.

They were, right now, at the very center of the arena. After moving in any possible direction 'randomly' to avoid damned sure death, Raoundozia ended up being at the uttermost center of the arena, while Yun Beishang was outside a circle with a diameter of 3 meters with Raoundozia as the center in which no hidden shadow was close to their master.

It was a noiseless act by them that could obviously not be heard by the people watching this, and it even seemed that that Phetsia girl also didn't know of what Raoundozia was making of from this sudden stagnancy.

...pew~...

"Hm? You guys heard that?"

"Eh?? Ah... no, what."

"Mmm..."

...whistle~...

"Eh? Eh! I think I hear it again, guys, it's coming from the-... arena?" The player who was speaking and who was confused to what was now entirely audible to the audience became ecstatic before suddenly turning pale, as he saw the people close to him begin to cover their ears and their eyes seemingly wanting to come out as they terrifyingly looked at the arena; at Raoundozia.

WHISTLE~~~...

Suddenly, coming out of the blue, a truly deafening sound came to be as the ears of the crowds would've started bleeding even with the damage of it still being as puny as 500 from this Global Tournament rules if it wasn't because of the all-caring system protecting the well being of the players that it had brought in itself.

TSHIN~. CLING~. TSHAAAN!

The very next scene was one that allowed billions of pairs of eyes to never forget about even decades later, even as there would be much fantastical, magical, unimaginable and majestic views and scenes, events and happenings in the future.

First, there was the apparition of about 270 shadows of bright gray sparkling globes that composed their bodies as if they were merely trying to outline the bodies of the previously hidden shadows, before they then became completely bright gray themselves.

And then second, just as the hidden shadows turned completely bright gray and the swords they 'wielded' were also visible, so did the bright gray energy as everyone could now see the net in midair right above the bright gray shadows' tip of their swords along with that of Raoundozia's condensed and much bigger bright gray energy. Which emanated a strong pale-gray aura the moment the hidden shadows became the bright gray shadows.

And finally, third; as the everything happened and finalized on their own, just as the deafening sound had been ongoing enough for the crowds to get accustomed to it. Raoundozia was surrounded by a bright gray aura, emanating more than bright as nobleness and honor extended out from Raoundozia's body as his eyes opened to reveal a couple of shiny gray elliptical pupils on each eye with a sclera so white that it was almost consuming.

As every bright gray shadow was a square meter away from each other from all over the arena with only the 3 meters of diameter around Raoundozia being free from their presence, the 270 each and every bright shadow made it very clear to see how every single bit of bright gray energy was being transmitted into the 'net', all for Raoundozia, the master, to seemingly enjoy the benefits from.

Of course, from all the watching eyes, besides Yun Beishang himself and his Order, very damn few could barely more or less know what was going on. In any other case, not even the Lunatic Archmage nor the Cold Dictator had ever done; possible that they couldn't even do in the first place!

Such were the thoughts of the viewers as they thought they've seen it all, but when Raoundozia's proud pupils glanced left and right as if he could pierce their souls, his eerie silence made him look undoubtedly Godly as he then lowered his heavy long sword as the ball of condensed bright energy atop his head descended onto him while the rest of the next dissipated swiftly and soundlessly; not even leaving a few traces behind after 2 seconds.

"Here I come."

FWOOOMP!

As soon as his words faded, Raoundozia ascended to the sky 3 meters before very lightly and feebly falling back down to his feet onto the arena's floor. But as everyone, except big ol' Yun Beishang of course, were charmed by Raoundozia's move, they didn't notice that in the sky, a flock of bright gray appeared.

Not only that, but when they did, they appeared to be wings of grandeur for Yun Beishang alone as he was the only one in the right position to get this strange but fitting image into his broken glass eyes.

And right after that, came the surprised silence and shocked quietness and the stillness of the atmosphere where at least 3 or 4 billion players were seated down to watch the show go. Because what they saw, was a mere 270 bright gray shadows floating in the sky and all gazing down at Yun Beishang, their target, as they slowly pointed the edges of their blades, held their heavy long swords in a proper stance and even were as if stopped in the middle of an attacking motion; but all of that, was directed towards him alone, Tongqiu—Yun Beishang—!

'What is it with these 2 guys always thinking so much of the sky? Do they have a chuuni side to themselves? Are they emo? Sad past? Whatever.'

TSSSSHHIIII-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-IIIIINNN!!!

Right after Yun Beishang's thoughts finished being, and as the sound of the previous deafening, global monstrosity terminated at last. An even more powerful but not deafening nor harmful sound came from Raoundozia as his aura intensified and his bright gray heavy long sword turned almost blinding.

"..." Yun Beishang no longer wore a face with rolling eyes but concentrated at the task at hand in full. With his 2 meters long Staff, he bent his left knee slightly while his right one barely did so as well. His back was now quite low with his waist at his previous lower thigh height level. His Staff was in his right hand while the elegant left hand-claw faced the ground, ready to act at whichever time needed.

...PEW!!!

Gurc-vbrtbrtbt~brtbrtbrtbrt~brbrtbrbrtbrbrtbrbry.

"..." Though it wasn't a sound that could at least make a person with sick ears to cover them in fright; at all, the instant move of Raoundozia was already shocking enough as he disappeared from his previous spot and reappeared 7 meters to the front from there. Not only that, but Yun Beishang's eyes abruptly widened and pupils constricted as he saw a bloody and hurting Raoundozia move at a speed higher than 250% Movement Speed!

This alone wasn't enough to create much of a disturbance; but as an even more milder sound came to be, so much that viewership outside Main Kingdom even turned the volume a few damn much times up, the sight of tiny 1 millimeter wide cracks appeared in midair from anywhere that Raoundozia moved to.

With that constant sound wierding out so many players as it was way too constant but low in volume; it allowed all players to slowly come to realize what was happening on the arena.

"This... can't... be!"

"Spatial cracks? HOLY FUCK! Spatial cracks! Haha! They can happen in here, too?!"

Nevertheless, only 2 seconds were enough for just a few people to talk as the entire crowd couldn't begin the chatter from how intense and already at the final moments that the semifinals suddenly, but excitingly, had entered!

Yun Beishang's eyes did not flashed any violet, and at the same time, he did not use any of his Godly-Masked Instrumental Body Passive Class's skills. Only taking a deep breath in that was too short for the amount of immense air he was taking in, and with his eyes turning extremely fierce and extremely calm.

Haa...

SWISHSWISHSWISHSWISHSWISHSWISH~~~!

As Tongqiu could be seen being utterly calm when facing a Raoundozia so brutally cruel to even himself, just to not 'end' but to 'win' against this legend, the plethora of bright gray shadows up in the air all fell down on Yun Beishang at once at the same time that Raoundozia was about to hit him!

And then... as the crowd felt like they've entered the slowdown of time; as also Raoundozia and the viewership of New Earth felt like so, and as even the 1-dimensional beings that Raoundozia created 'felt' completely and utterly in a slowed down flowing time...

...It happened.

...!!!!!!

Yun Beishang abruptly passed his Staff to his left elegant claw-hand before taking it back again with his right, and this time aggressive claw-hand instead as he then brutally stomped against the floor with his elegant claw-hand. Its noise, consumed by the plethora of different sounds even as they were already low and even as Yun Beishang's stomping of his elegant claw-hand was even louder than them.

With his aggressive hand striking downside up at Raoundozia who couldn't even stop himself if he wanted and as Yun Beishang's Movement Speed was at a total of 224% and not the 250% Movement Speed of the former; he used his right handed Staff to directly meet the tip of the seemingly insurmountable and domineering blade of the heavy long sword.

With a pair of extremely fierce—and extremely calm—eyes, Yun Beishang perfectly connected the extreme of his Mind-Sensory Staff against the lower tip of the blade.

PKAN-LING~!

Suddenly, Raoundozia's body whose eyes were unnaturally opened due to an overwhelming shock, kept on running and running at that 250% Movement Speed right past Yun Beishang who had been completely bathed in almost blindingly white and almost blindingly bright gray energy and aura.

While, on the other hand the energies that surrounded Raoundozia before were all gone as his weakened and now feeble-looking body as well as bloody, was all visible to the naked eye of the viewers. As Raoundozia seemingly lost a lot of skin, blood and even volume from his virtual body, he uncaringly gazed instead at Yun Beishang who was no longer visible as a strange premonition arrived in his heart.

D-TON~!!!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!!!

Right at this moment, the place where Yun Beishang was previously at, and as many among the crowd were already biting their lower lips and celebrating Raoundozia's victory and Tongqiu's demise. Raoundozia's eyes seemingly became entirely terrified into calmness, almost craziness, as he and everyone else saw the auras and energies left behind his path, so did they saw them moving skywards and to any angle possible as the bright gray shadows turned into sweet nothingness from being 'blasphemed' by the auras and energies on the ground.

"!!" At this exact very moment, Raoundozia strongly stood up, and with his steel eyes still with a pair of shiny elliptical pupils on each of his eyes with a sclera so white that it was consuming... lost a ton more of blood from his 7  orifices; his sclera turning into light, veiny red among his still shiny gray elliptical pupils.

...PEW~!!!!

Gurc-vbrtbrtbt~brtbrtbrtbrt~brbrtbrbrtbrbrtbrbry.

Another attack, just like the same as before and even along with the 270 bright gray shadows already formed and fully created, moved towards Yun Beishang's back that just then became visible enough for the sharp sight of Raoundozia who instantly felt as if he was dying of terminal illness once he was over executing this skill atop of the previous most powerful one of his.

VBVRBBRVBRBVBBRBVBRVBVRBRVBRRR...!!!
