Chapter 524 The Double-Edged Battlefield, Post-Battle Discussion
He charged madly toward the nearest monster, thrusting his dagger forward.
The monster's health bar has only a sliver left.
Countdown—
3 seconds.
2 seconds.
1 seconds.
His dagger pierced the monster's heart.
However, no system notification sounded.
[Global Announcement: Countdown Ended.]
He was stunned.
Then, his body began to turn into white light.
His eyes were fixed on the bloodied monster.
"Just one second more..."
His voice drifted on the night wind.
Time waits for no one.
......
[Global Announcement: Countdown Ended.]
[The second round of the Battle for Supremacy: "Double-Edged Battlefield" has officially closed.]
[Rankings are being tallied...]
[Rewards are being distributed...]
[Teleporting player back to the starting area...]
Everyone's vision blurred.
next second.
Those players still running, those players still wielding their knives, those players still fleeing for their lives—
They all disappeared from the spot.
On the battlefield, only silence remained.
And the corpses of those wild monsters that haven't respawned yet.
A night breeze blew by, swirling a few withered leaves across the open ground.
The moonlight shone down, illuminating the land strewn with corpses.
The fragments of equipment left behind by someone are still glowing, gleaming faintly in the moonlight.
A half-empty medicine bottle was rolling on the ground, with liquid still remaining at the opening.
The knife mark left by someone before they died is still visible on the stone slab, its edges as neat as if they had been cut.
But the person is gone.
Everything is gone.
Only the wind remained.
And that cold, clear moon.
......
Sunset City.
Zhang Tianya felt a blur before his eyes, and his feet were already on familiar ground.
The dizziness from the spatial teleportation hadn't subsided when he swayed and almost fell over.
The light and shadow before my eyes gradually cleared, like a crumpled painting slowly unfolding—a square paved with bluestone slabs, the familiar guild flag fluttering in the night breeze.
The battle axe emblem embroidered on the flag was clearly visible in the moonlight.
He is back.
"Oh shit......"
He plopped down on the ground, his legs feeling as heavy as lead and completely unresponsive.
The thigh muscles were still twitching slightly uncontrollably, a physiological reaction after being in a state of tension for a long time.
With his last bit of strength, he threw the shield aside. The shield crashed to the ground with a clang, rolled twice, and landed face up.
The shield was covered with cracks, as dense as a spider web, and in some places the padding behind it was even visible.
That was caused by the giant hammer of an elite monster.
The metal at the edges was chipped, the paint in the middle was charred black, and there were several deep claw marks and dark red stains, making it impossible to tell whether it was the monster's blood or his own.
He was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently, making a "whoosh whoosh" sound like a bellows.
Sweat streamed down his face, dripping onto the bluestone slabs and creating dark water stains that were quickly absorbed by the dry stone.
"It's finally over..."
Li Weiwei appeared beside him.
As soon as she solidified her body, her legs went weak, and she sat down on the ground with a thud, leaning right on Zhang Tianya's shoulder.
The staff in her hand clattered to the side, bearing the marks of the battle.
Several charred marks were visible, and the crystal at the top had become dull and lifeless, resembling an ordinary stone, with no trace of magical energy detectable.
Her mana had been depleted three hours earlier.
In the final period, she relied entirely on medication to get through it—
I kept chugging bottle after bottle until my tongue was numb and I couldn't taste anything anymore.
Some of the bottles were even snatched from Zhang Tianya's backpack, because she had already finished hers.
At this moment of relaxation, she felt as if her bones had been removed, and she leaned softly against Zhang Tianya's shoulder, not wanting to move a single finger.
Her eyes were closed, her chest rose and fell slightly, and her breathing was light and shallow, as if she were asleep or unconscious.
Zhang Tianya glanced at her sideways.
Her face was frighteningly pale, her lips were bloodless, and her eyes were sunken, as if she hadn't slept for three days and three nights.
His temples were damp with sweat, strands clinging to his cheeks, and a faint scratch marked his forehead.
I don't know which monster's skill grazed it.
"You've worked hard," he said softly.
Li Weiwei didn't even lift her eyelids, and weakly hummed in agreement.
Then, she laboriously raised one hand and pinched Zhang Tianya's waist.
Zhang Tianya gasped in pain, "Holy crap, what are you doing?!"
"Don't...don't speak..." Li Weiwei's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, almost inaudible. "Let me catch my breath...if you speak again, I'll strangle you..."
Zhang Tianya chuckled and remained silent.
The two of them just lay there, paralyzed.
Moonlight streamed down, a gentle night breeze stirred, ruffling Li Weiwei's clothes and hair, carrying with it a faint scent of blood and gunpowder.
That's the smell of the battlefield.
White light began to appear around us.
One, two, ten, a hundred—
White light flashed continuously in the square, like countless shooting stars falling in the same place.
With each flash, a disheveled player would appear in the same spot.
Some people lay down on the ground as soon as they landed, limbs outstretched, staring at the sky and grinning foolishly, muttering to themselves:
"I'm back alive... I'm back alive..."
Some people opened their backpacks as soon as they landed, their hands shaking so much they couldn't even tap the screen accurately, and it took them several tries to succeed.
Then I frantically checked my points ranking, staring intently at the number, confirming it over and over again.
As soon as someone landed, they hugged the person next to them, crying and laughing, the two of them rolling around on the ground in a tight embrace.
"Brother! I thought you were dead!"
"I thought you were dead too! I saw you get thrown into the air during the final impact!"
"My health dropped to 3%, I was almost done for! Luckily, a priest happened to pass by and saved me!"
"Awesome! Just being alive is good! Just being alive is good!"
A warrior from a guild ran over, his face beaming with excitement: "Guild Leader! Guild Leader! What's your ranking?"
Zhang Tianya raised her eyelids to glance at him, then lowered them again: "Let's talk about it later... let me catch my breath..."
The soldier paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Guild Leader, have you been completely drained?"
"Get lost!" Zhang Tianya laughed and cursed, raising his foot to give you a feint kick. "I'll deal with you later!"
The soldier chuckled and ran off to find others to celebrate with.
Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei stood there, watching the group of people make a scene.
Zhang Tianya grinned.
Li Weiwei didn't bother to open her eyes, but the corners of her mouth curved slightly.
......
White light fell like rain across the square of Luoxia City.
A dense crowd appeared around the square—
