Chapter 457
Isabella Montgomery kept her eyes fixed on the computer screen, completely ignoring Takashi Yamamoto.
The match began. Since it was a player-versus-player format, both characters started with all their skills unlocked. No leveling up was required.
Takashi immediately launched an attack with his Witch character. The Witch possessed three key abilities. Her first skill was a debuff that reduced the opponent's defense by thirty percent. This made targets vulnerable and easy to hit. Her second skill cast a spell that stunned the opponent for one and a half seconds. Her ultimate ability unleashed a torrent of violent flames, capable of eliminating any foe in mere seconds.
These three skills spelled certain doom for the Dancer.
Takashi was determined to finally defeat Isabella.
Benjamin Kensington stood behind his sister, utterly speechless. He stared at the two screens without blinking. He still couldn't believe his own sister was the legendary Boss. Overwhelmed by this revelation, he needed to see if her previous victory over Takashi had just been a fluke.
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of gamers worldwide were spectating the live duel. The viewer count skyrocketed past six figures.
Isabella didn't move her character. She let her Dancer avatar remain perfectly still under the protection of her crystal tower.
This inactivity provoked instant ridicule from the watching crowd. [Hahaha! Is Boss too scared to fight now?] [Hiding like a coward under her tower? Pathetic!] [Looks like Boss is going to lose for sure this time!]
Takashi felt a surge of arrogant confidence. The character he selected had a natural advantage over hers. He was absolutely certain she stood no chance of winning.
His Witch avatar swiftly closed the distance to her crystal tower. They were now only a few meters apart.
Finally, Isabella moved. Her fingers flew across the keyboard. Her Dancer emerged from the safety of the tower's shield, making herself completely vulnerable.
Takashi’s eyes narrowed. He instantly launched his first attack. But Isabella had already anticipated it. Her avatar sidestepped with lightning speed, effortlessly avoiding the blow.
Takashi scoffed. Trying to dodge? He prepared to use his second skill, the stun spell. He would finish her off in seconds!
Isabella’s special talent was useless here. Once caught in the Witch’s magical trap, she wouldn't be able to move at all. It would be an instant kill.
To his shock, Isabella activated her own special talent first: Fainting Spell. This ability rendered her opponent immobile for 1.5 seconds. The Witch was frozen in place. Takashi’s fingers were a mere tenth of a second too slow. Just one-tenth of a second!
A dangerous smirk played on Isabella’s lips. It was time for her final move. She unleashed a volley of three arrows simultaneously. The Witch’s health bar instantly plummeted to fifty percent.
Isabella triggered another powerful blow. The health bar dropped sharply to thirty percent. Takashi panicked. His eyelid twitched violently. He never expected her to activate her special talent before he could.
The Witch’s major weakness was a lack of agility compared to the Dancer. Her only defensive skill was a Sprint. But how could he use it with only thirty percent health remaining?
Damn it! He wanted revenge!
The moment the Fainting Spell wore off, Takashi desperately triggered his second ability, trying to cast the stun spell. But Isabella was ready. She activated her own second skill and sprinted away with incredible speed. It was as if she had predicted his every move. The Dancer elegantly evaded every single spell the Witch hurled her way.
Takashi’s face darkened with fury. She was running away! How was she so impossibly fast?!
