Chapter 458

Takashi Yamamoto refused to accept defeat. His eyes burned with pure rage as he pursued Isabella's Dancer. He had to activate his third ability. He needed to unleash the inferno to incinerate Isabella!

But…

He had forgotten Isabella's initial strategy. She hadn't been in a hurry to engage. She only emerged from her tower when he was practically on top of her.

Consequently, Isabella's avatar was a mere two meters from her crystal tower's safety. While his desperate final assault did land, inflicting serious damage, Isabella simply retreated back into her tower.

Even though his ultimate move had been powerful, Isabella's crystal tower continuously regenerated her health. By the time the Witch had exhausted all three of her skills, Isabella's health bar was still over half full.

Simultaneously, the Dancer's skills reset completely.

A cold smile touched Isabella's lips. She activated two skills simultaneously. She dashed toward the Witch with her second skill and unleashed a volley of three arrows with her third!

Takashi's screen went black instantly. When it brightened again, all he saw was his defeated Witch lying at the Dancer's feet.

Takashi had lost. Again.

The entire duel lasted less than sixty seconds. It was brutally fast.

The spectators were utterly speechless. A moment of stunned silence hung in the air before the crowd erupted.

[No way! OMG! That's insane!]

[Takashi lost again! The number one ranked player was defeated in under a minute! Unbelievable!]

[So precise! So ruthless! The Boss showed no mercy!]

[Her reaction time was inhuman! She attacked before he could even process it! A fraction of a second faster!]

[That was a total slaughter! This Boss has to be a professional!]

[I'm convinced she's a seasoned pro gamer! That level of skill is unique!]

[Hah! Now Takashi can't blame it on luck this time!]

[I strongly recommend he changes his ID to 'The Loser'!]

Reading the flood of mocking comments, Takashi's face darkened with fury. He never imagined he would lose to Isabella a second time. And so humiliatingly fast.

He had never experienced such public shame in his entire life.

Benjamin stood frozen beside him, his mind reeling. The idol he had worshipped for a decade was just crushed. The teacher he held in such high regard was utterly worthless compared to… his own sister! The sister he had always underestimated was revealed to be this incredibly powerful and skilled. He looked at Isabella with entirely new eyes, filled with awe and admiration.

Isabella rose from the computer terminal. She cast a calm, dismissive glance at Takashi. “You need more practice. Goodbye.”

She turned, taking Benjamin's hand to leave. Takashi seethed with venomous hatred. Did she think she could just walk away after humiliating him like that? A person like her didn't deserve to live; she was a threat that needed to be eliminated. Immediately, he signaled his guards with a sharp look. They understood instantly.

They drew their taser batons, blocking the exit, the weapons pointed directly at Isabella and Benjamin. Isabella's brow furrowed. “Breaking your promise so easily?”

“So what?” Takashi sneered coldly, his eyes filled with malice. “The end justifies the means. You humiliated me. You're the only one who can defeat me. Do you honestly believe I'd let you leave my estate alive? How naive!”

With that, he pulled out a sharp, gleaming dagger.
