The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 732 - LIVING UP TO HIS 'NAME'

THIS sudden turn of events made Xia Lei’s brain stop functioning for a second. But that momentary lapse caused him a great deal. He didn’t see his opponent raising his gun and pulling the trigger.

Before he realized what was happening, his head had already recoiled back because of the force that hit the center of his forehead. If he could see himself right now, then he would see a bullet wound on that part.

When he finally realized that something was wrong, his avatar’s body was already slowly turning to light particles. At that moment, he clearly understood one thing – he lost.

His emotions were torn between disbelief and amazement. He didn’t expect that this match would actually end in this way. Just how did this happen? With his head filled with question marks, he disappeared from the rink.

The crowd watching this suddenly erupted. Some were shocked. But most were in denial. They couldn’t believe that the participant they were rooting for the most was defeated like this. When this match started, they never expected that this would be the outcome. With the huge money they bet on Dragnar, they definitely couldn’t accept this result.

But how could they express their disappointment? The person they expected to win had already disappeared from the rink. Could they still vent their anger at the one who won? It’s not like the other cheated. He clearly won the game fair and square. If they dissed him just because their bet lost, wouldn’t the other people in the audience accused them of being unreasonable?

Still, the unwillingness in their hearts couldn’t be erased that quickly. Those who didn’t have enough self-control couldn’t help but voiced out their complain.

"What kind of shit is this?"

"My money.... How about my money?!"

"Did Dragnar lose on purpose?"

These voices of dissatisfaction were few and far between. Even if there were others who agreed with their opinion, they were tactful enough not to voice it. It didn’t take long for these dissatisfied voices to be drowned by the cheer of the remaining crowd.

Luo Jin didn’t care for this. Seeing Dragnar turning into light particles and disappearing, he finally relaxed his body and let out the breath he was holding. That was close. Really close. He would not have won if he didn’t make that gamble.

A gamble that depended on his opponent’s amazing battle sense.

When Luo Jin decided to do that kamikaze attack, he assumed that Dragnar would turn around and slash his sword towards him. The success of his plan all depended on that scenario happening. So, to increase the success rate, he deliberately glanced at the area behind Dragnar. To plant the idea that he was about to teleport in that direction.

And his opponent really did turn around.

What Dragnar didn’t know was that the moment Luo Jin teleported behind him, he had already used his skill, [Curve Shot]. Since he was already expecting – hoping, actually – that Dragnar would turn around and slash his sword towards him, he quickly jumped to the right the moment he teleported. Because of that, the other’s sword cut his arm off instead of fully cutting him in half.

With Dragnar’s attention focused on attacking him, most likely to finish him with one last attack, the other didn’t notice the bullet that was coming from behind. And that bullet lunged at Dragnar’s chest.

Luo Jin wasn’t completely relieved by this. So, while Dragnar was still in a daze because of the sudden turn of events, he shot the other’s head using another one of his skills. Those two consecutive shots that hit Dragnar’s vital points finally defeated the other.

He looked at his pitiful HP that was close to zero. It’s like it’s telling him that his win was just a big stroke of luck. Which was true, by the way. His plan could have gone in the worst possible direction with just one mistake.

What if Dragnar didn’t turn around? What if he noticed that bullet that pierced his chest? What if Luo Jin didn’t jump to the right fast enough when he teleported behind the other? All of these could have led to his defeat. Thankfully, it seemed that the goddess of luck was on his side.

And because of that, he won.

He took a high-grade potion to replenish his HP and drank it. He glanced at his shoulder that was missing a limb. His cut-off arm had already turned into light particles. An HP potion wouldn’t regenerate his arm. He needed another kind of potion for this.

He searched through his Items Tab and his brows furrowed after a while. Because it seemed that he didn’t have the said item.

Before he could think more, the voice of the Duke of Hearts echoed across the coliseum.

"This is a very unexpected result, isn’t it?" the other said as he flew down the destroyed rink. "This lord truly didn’t expect that the crowd favorite – Dragnar – would lose. Those who bet on him are probably crying tears of blood because of how much money they lose."

The other giggled at that last part, clearly enjoying the fact that a lot of people lost their money because of Dragnar’s defeat. The fact that the betting period had already ended and therefore the players who betted on Dragnar could no longer bet on another player made this situation even angry inducing.

"This is why you shouldn’t leave all your eggs in one basket. You never know when an egg thief will come and swipe it off from you," the duke continued.

Luo Jin cringed at that analogy. So, was he an egg thief now?

"Just like what happened in this match, a dark horse emerged from the shadow and kicked all of you in the gut." The duke glanced at Luo Jin. "You really do live up to your name.." Then, he circled around him. "Presenting, the winner of this match and the first one to enter the finals – AmazingYoungMasterJin!"
