Chapter 288: Eat My Hammer
The War Machine had nowhere to retreat; if he retreated further, he could only run into the Meteor Shower area.
Entering with 10% Health Points, he would be dead in less than two minutes.
All the Equipment and Recovery Cards on him dropped, all in Yu Jiang’s hands; she also picked up the Skill Card ‘Give It to Me’.
This Skill is great, Robber experience card.
Heaven knows, after the War Machine revived and saw his hands empty, even a Skill gone dark, yet still with an arrow marker above his head, how devastated he felt inside.
Only a dozen hours left on the Battlefield, how could a player of his Combat Power be willing to exit.
He thought the Tracking Item would expire after his first death, but unexpectedly, this damn positioning was still there!
At this point, he felt he still had an opportunity; even with only 10% Health Points left, killing a Regular Player or Monster wouldn’t be hard, and he could pick up Resources again.
He underestimated Yu Jiang’s speed in finding him.
You know, Regular Players who could survive to this point either had heaven-defying Luck or some real skill; it wasn’t that easy for him to find them.
As for Monsters, the Safe Zone’s Monsters now all relied on snatching; he searched for a good while but didn’t find any, though an Elite Alien Species did respawn—from after Yu Jiang’s First Kill, Elite Monster positions were all announced.
Not far from him, easy to rush over, but in his fully collapsed state, going there would just be giving away a Kill.
Players still daring to hunt Elite Monsters now were all Masters; sure enough, about ten minutes later, a Kill Announcement came out.
[Player ‘X’ killed ‘Elite Alien Species’]
Seeing it was Yu Jiang’s Teammate, the War Machine was both angry and anxious, rage boiling in his mind.
It was at this moment that a figure appeared in front of him.
That white exoskeleton was particularly striking in the Darkness and ruins of the dead city.
She walked over slowly, her Killing Intent sharp, full of Sense of Oppression.
At that moment, the War Machine’s widened eyes were like he’d seen a ghost; he turned and ran, his figure wretched.
Yu Jiang, with Speed and Stamina Buff Cards, chased behind; how could the War Machine with only 10% Stamina possibly outrun her.
Not long after, he was cornered by Yu Jiang at the Safe Zone’s edge.
Looking at the Bayonet in Yu Jiang’s hand, the cold gleam on its Blade, the War Machine broke down; he enjoyed the pleasure of killing others, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t fear when it was his turn.
“You’ve already killed me once, I didn’t do anything, just wanted to experience a Leaderboard Player’s Strength, said a couple things in the Instance Channel, let me go.”
The War Machine voluntarily canceled his Monster Skin status and walked forward with a face full of pleading.
“I’ve survived to now with great difficulty, I know I was wrong.” At this point, his eyes suddenly changed, and the Bound Weapon in his hand stabbed toward Yu Jiang.
How could he think a few words would make her let him go; it was just to divert her attention and strike while she was off-guard—this distance was enough.
However, faster than him was Yu Jiang’s Bayonet.
The War Machine only felt a chill in his abdomen; the next second came the familiar pain, followed by warm Liquid seeping out.
Seeing the knife didn’t trigger Attack Buff effect, Yu Jiang stabbed again.
Standing here, of course she wasn’t here to listen to the War Machine’s nonsense; her Bayonet’s Attack range was also short.
Why not use a way to effortlessly take out the opponent?
The War Machine’s Health Bar emptied; as he fell, his face still bore an incredulous expression.
This guy didn’t uphold Martial Virtue, but he didn’t expect to run into Yu Jiang, who also didn’t uphold Martial Virtue.
After taking out the War Machine, Yu Jiang began Searching around; she was also trying her Luck.
The Safe Zone Space wasn’t big; maybe she’d run into another player Hyena, or Heartless Water’s people.
Heartless Water, seeing the Kill Announcement, would likely come Nearby to scout Intelligence.
The Battlefield was already in the final stage; win or lose was at this moment.
Yu Jiang had just passed the Street when she looked up and saw a player standing on the wreckage of a high-rise building damaged beyond recognition by the Meteor Shower, snapped in half at the waist.
Black exoskeleton, that Monster Skin looking a bit like Hyena, or possibly some other Master.
To not expose her identity, Yu Jiang used the Skill Card ‘Eat My Hammer’.
This was a Drop from an Unlucky player who wasn’t hit by the Meteor Shower but was eliminated after his Health Bar was drained by radiation.
The Great Iron Hammer is a Skill Weapon; during use, Stamina Buff amplitude is 200%, Defense increased by 100%.
Gotta say, Attack-Defense dual players, aside from slow Attack Speed and somewhat low Agility, are really strong—can both attack and tank.
Without Skill Buffs, Yu Jiang couldn’t even wield such a massive Iron Hammer.
She chose to use this Prop Card to test the opponent’s Strength, see if it was Heartless Water, also because her Battles had her own habitual rhythm and style; low Attack Speed didn’t suit her.
If really used against a strong enemy, she couldn’t exert its maximum effect; using it as pure Defense Buff would be wasteful.
Using it to probe the opponent and hide identity was most suitable.
Yu Jiang and the opponent moved almost simultaneously; she swung the full one-meter-long massive Iron Hammer and charged; if nothing else, this Skill looked full of Daze power.
Who would dare block it head-on normally; taking a Hammer blow, you’d be crippled if not dead.
The opponent was quite agile, dodging it; the Great Iron Hammer smashed into the tilted building’s Cement wall, cracking it instantly.
Clang!
The inner Steel Bars emitted a crisp sound, the surrounding ground seeming to tremble, showing the power of this Hammer.
The weakness was also obvious: Great Iron Hammer Attacks had gaps, unable to Attack again for 5 seconds, and could only be used with both hands.
It took effort for Yu Jiang to lift it again; this thing’s weight was calculated based on the player’s Attack Power and Stamina—the stronger the player’s Stamina, the heavier the Hammer, and the higher the Attack Power.
The Great Iron Hammer’s next Attack time hadn’t arrived yet, but the opponent’s counterattack came first.
The black exoskeleton Monster swiftly and agilely leaped in front of her; Blade cold light flashed—this knife was plain and ordinary, like one picked up on the Battlefield.
But the moves were crisp and clean, without any superfluous motions; it was a Killing Move aimed to kill.
High Combat Power duels were like this—one clash, and you could roughly gauge each other’s Strength level.
Yu Jiang lifted the Great Iron Hammer to block; how could such a Dagger hard-counter a Hammer bigger than a Head.
She smashed down with force while lifting her foot to kick the opponent’s body, also with the intent to cripple them.
Without getting serious, how would the opponent expose their true Strength and style.
Not many players at this level—just those in the First Echelon; once Bound Weapon and Skills came out, they’d clash right away.
Yu Jiang’s kick missed the opponent; his Blade clashed with the Great Iron Hammer, emitting a piercing sound with sparks flying; it was at this moment he Borrowed Strength, leaping back to dodge Yu Jiang’s Attack.
Immediately after, his Blade turned, taking advantage of Yu Jiang not yet swinging the Iron Hammer for another Attack, slashing straight at her neck.
Wearing a Defense Vest protected the body from stabs, but not the neck.
Yu Jiang quickly released the Iron Hammer and dodged to the side, counting in her mind; at 4 seconds, she gripped the Great Iron Hammer ahead of time, and the next second directly Attacked.
Just now, she was that close to taking a knife; now Yu Jiang attacked fiercely with the momentum to beat the opponent into Beef Balls.
Unknown player smiled: Captain, guess who I am?
