Chapter 464: Chapter 464

As Du You released the Disintegration Spell and retreated, the combat pattern remained the same as before. In Dawei’s eyes, Du You’s actions seemed normal. However, this time, Du You was misleading his opponent.

Seeing the three Disintegration Spells coming towards him, Dawei quickly dropped his planned Seal-breaking Strike.

With a turn of his Sealing Rod, he swiftly raised it to block the three disintegration spells. A burst of seal energy erupted, as he knew the spell was a standard spell, hence any seal would suffice.

He couldn’t seal such a spell; he could only neutralize it. All that mattered was keeping it from touching him.

As the sealing power surged, the three Disintegration Spells were blocked and shattered upon impact with his seal.

Dawei continued descending, his sense of impending danger not subsiding but intensifying.

As he was about to hit the ground, he realized he had no time to use his sealing power again. It was in this small time gap that Dawei finally landed—not on the ground, but a short distance above it.

At that moment, three black objects suddenly materialized on the ground and detonated almost simultaneously.

The black flames of the explosion engulfed the surroundings, with Dawei virtually at its epicenter.

It turned out that Du You, just moments ago, had purposefully used the Dark Flame Arrow Array attack without caring if his opponent could defend against it. He merely used this move to hit the ground and stir up a thick cloud of dust.

Taking advantage of the Spellcaster’s fast casting, Du You set up a Dark Swamp on the ground and, in several calculated locations, laid down large amounts of Hellfire Thunder specifically to ambush Dawei.

His previous attacks and retreat were all aimed at misguiding Dawei.

He led Dawei to believe that he had exhausted his methods and there was nothing else to fear. The perceived threat of the attack made Dawei overlook other potential dangers, assuming the spell was the only threat.

Only after he blocked this attack did he realize that the real danger was coming from below.

"You sneaky bastard," bellowed Dawei, his eyes wide. But the next moment, he was swallowed by the black flames.

Suddenly, a luminescent ring appeared around Dawei, protecting him. However, the fact that Dawei had been teleported out after only leaving a word signaled his inability to survive the attack.

"Impressive! The combination of traps with the cover of dust to obliterate the enemy in one fell swoop was simply brilliant," shouted the commentator from Capital University. In contrast, the commentator from War God University wore a slightly awkward smile. He was taken aback by the swift turn of events, but managed to stay professional.

For Du You, his breath hitched. The fight had been quite intense. Even he barely had any effective strategies against a Seal Master like Dawei. Had he not trapped Dawei, the battle would have turned into a war of attrition.

Given a war of attrition, Du You didn’t fear anyone. However, his position deep into enemy lines meant the longer he delayed, the greater the risk he faced. Fortunately, he had succeeded.

The upgraded Hellfire Thunder wasn’t like before. Within a certain range, Du You could control when it detonated, or maybe not detonate at all.

Unlike the past when he couldn’t finely control it. Previously, if any life form came within two meters of a Hellfire Thunder spell, it would trigger an explosion with an attack range of ten meters and an effective kill range of nearly eight meters.

That terrifying power, even a single blast would have been more than what Dawei could handle, let alone three.

Being a Seal Master, Dawei naturally possessed a robust defense from his sealing techniques. Consequently, Dawei lacked formidable defense skills. In the small time window between activating skills, he was extremely fragile.

Having neutralized Dawei, Du You turned his attention to the sisters. Fresh chapters posted on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥

Both sides had mighty archers, continuously shooting at each other, yet neither side could gain the upper hand.

Just as Du You was preparing to release the Ghost Pattern Crow to help, Huang Jian and Huang Tao abruptly turned and ran. Their quickness and decisiveness left sisters Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi stunned.

"They’re quick to run. Let’s chase them," squinted Du You. Anyone who would dare to attack his woman was asking for death—even in a competition. Having this done right before him, Du You still wished to vent his anger.

However, just then, Lin Yushi suddenly announced, "The Command Center has ordered us to retreat."

A communicator in Lin Yushi’s ear connected her to Zhang Yu, who was communicating directly with the Command Center. Hearing this command, Du You, though reluctant, turned around and started heading in the opposite direction.

"We should also leave. It seems it’s no longer suitable to continue fighting here." They were, after all, a small force that had penetrated deep into enemy lines. The situation would turn dangerous once the enemy recovered. Eliminating such a strong Seal Master like Dawei was already no small feat.

Seeing Du You’s group retreat, the people from War God Academy gnashed their teeth in anger, but could do nothing.

"By the way, how strong are those two? I noticed you had a tough battle."

Lin Yushi huffed, "Hmph, their strength is comparable, but they’re definitely not as good as us. Our skills are far more powerful. At best, they’re seven-star."

However, Lin Yucha added with more seriousness, "Although their skills are not as powerful as ours, they have more skills and tactics. Also, our Demon Extermination Power is still too weak. In a protracted battle, we would run out of magic power before them."

Du You nodded. They were both correct. The opponents had earned their place at War God Academy with sheer talent and had an abundance of skills that can’t be casually matched by anyone.

If it weren’t for the sisters gaining special hidden occupations through his scheme and their impressive array of equipment and skills, they might not have been able to hold their own against the opponents for so long.

But their lack of depth meant they didn’t have much of the Demon Extermination Power, which would impact their endurance in battle.

If they had indeed dragged it out to the end, it was likely they would have lost. Du You felt a pang of regret—if he had known they were going to be ambushed, he would have released the Ghost Pattern Crow earlier. With the help of the Ghost Pattern Crow, the ones dead now would be the opponents.

What he didn’t know was that the two opponents were also quite fearful, feeling their own opponents were surprisingly eight-star. They had exerted many efforts to rise from six-star to seven-star.

The talents and hidden occupations of their opponents made them envious. They had long sensed the distinctive power of their opponents from the skills they released.
