Chapter 628: Kujo Mise VS Tristana!

The Yordles watching the battle were discussing it non-stop,

criticizing Vex for being cowardly and timid, tarnishing the reputation of Bandle City’s adventurers.

But those title-level Yordles who were actually participating in the war

felt that Vex was fine.

Unlike these onlookers,

the title-level Yordles had all participated in building the rock wall

and had witnessed this guest’s power with their own eyes!

Not to mention whether they could win,

even if they did win, it would be a pyrrhic victory!

What would they do for the subsequent battles?

Therefore,

when Li Yao was drawn a few more times later on,

he won every time without a fight.

This was the special treatment of the strong.

Every one of Li Yao’s opponents surrendered with full conviction.

They didn't surrender because he was a guest,

but because of his strength.

Kujo Mise, however, was not so lucky.

So far, she had gone through six battles

and had only won two.

Everyone was a bit worried.

"At this rate, in fifteen battles, Benefactor Mise will only just manage to get five wins."

"It’s a bit precarious!"

"Don't be a crow’s mouth here! Mise doesn't have to win," Mu Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. If it were her, she would have surrendered long ago.

Li Yao was going to the Upper City for the war chariot intelligence;

only one person was needed to ask for intelligence.

Kujo Mise didn't have to risk her life like this at all!

"For Sister Mise, she doesn't allow herself to fail in any battle she participates in," Shang Shang Yana said, looking at the bruised and battered Kujo Mise with a hint of heartache.

"I know, don't worry, I’m here," Mu Mu Xiaoxiao patted her chest. "Poppy, this Promotion Battle allows for post-battle healing, right?"

"Yes," Poppy nodded. "Everyone has priests."

"Otherwise, no one could handle fifteen high-intensity consecutive battles."

Poppy seemed to think of something. "Of course, except for the benefactor."

Up to now, Poppy and Tristana had both gone through five battles.

Neither of them was weak among the title-level,

and both had achieved four wins.

Changing weapons did have an impact;

the one battle Tristana lost was a narrow defeat—with a better weapon, she definitely would have won.

Tristana didn't really care.

Isn't winning ten battles enough?

As for new weapons, she’d just buy better ones in the Upper City!

At this moment, the next battle list appeared on the crystal ball.

[Megling Gunner Tristana VS High Priestess Kujo Mise]

Everyone turned back to look at these two figures, one tall and one short.

"How about..." Tristana just started to speak,

but Kujo Mise coldly interrupted: "If you want to surrender, then let’s see who can surrender faster."

"Uh..."

"This monk believes Benefactor Mise really would do that."

Li Yao also spoke up: "Just fight normally. Even if Kujo Mise loses, I’ll go to the Upper City myself."

Kujo Mise wrinkled her delicate nose in dissatisfaction.

The battle hadn't even started, and she was already destined to lose?

It was obvious

that everyone felt the same way.

One had five wins and four losses,

the other had six wins and two losses.

The gap was too obvious!

The two walked to the center of the platform.

Kujo Mise put her original staff back into her storage ring and took out a Gold-tier staff.

"Hey, hey, there’s no need for that, right?" Mu Mu Xiaoxiao covered her face.

Li Yao smiled with interest: "Kujo Mise just has that kind of personality. Let’s watch slowly; maybe she can win."

From the aura,

Tana was much stronger than Kujo Mise.

But this gap was not yet a situation of certain defeat.

Saying that just now was merely to provoke Kujo Mise.

Of course,

as he had said,

it didn't matter if she lost.

In the center of the square,

the battle was about to break out.

Kujo Mise’s fighting style remained the same: summoning ten shikigami, amplifying them, and using them to fight.

The shikigami appeared.

Tristana’s expression was solemn, a change from her usual smiling self.

She spun her cannon in the air, aiming the muzzle directly at Kujo Mise.

"Boom!"

A scorching cannonball burst from the barrel.

The shikigami hurriedly blocked in front of Kujo Mise, while the other nine shikigami rushed toward Tristana.

"Cannonballs are the best destroyers!"

The front of the wooden cannon ignited with flames.

Several cannonballs shot out rapidly.

Tristana fought while retreating, each cannonball hitting a shikigami with precision.

By the time the shikigami actually touched Tristana, five of them had already been blasted into thin air by the cannonballs.

"Oh! Rocket Jump!"

Tristana jumped onto her cannon and, like a rocket, leaped a distance toward the rear.

While in the air, she threw a stray shot at one of the shikigami.

Landing, firing—it was all done in one go!

The cannonball hit the previously thrown stray shot with precision.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion rang out.

Smoke and dust filled the entire arena.

For a moment, the scene erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

When the smoke cleared, all of Kujo Mise’s shikigami had been eliminated by Tristana.

"There’s nothing gunpowder can’t solve," Tristana aimed her muzzle at Kujo Mise. "Surrender!"

Kujo Mise’s expression didn't change.

Her staff shone brightly.

In an instant, ten more shikigami appeared.

"Is Sister Mise trying to overload Tana’s cannon?" Shang Shang Yana asked, puzzled. Even she could see that these shikigami were of no use to Tana.

"No," Mu Mu Xiaoxiao’s expression was solemn. "Not to mention that this woman disdains using such methods,"

"summoning shikigami doesn't consume much energy, but forcibly summoning them again after they die without going through a cooldown period"

(This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading!)

"consumes a massive amount of energy!"

"She can summon them at most one more time before her energy is exhausted!"

Visibly,

Kujo Mise’s face turned pale, and her breathing began to quicken.

The shikigami launched their charge.

After spending time together recently, Tristana knew this girl’s personality well.

Making her surrender voluntarily was absolutely impossible!

Overloading the wooden cannon was indeed a problem.

Then don't waste time.

Blast her out of bounds with one shot!

The shikigami surged forward.

Tristana didn't fire.

"Ready..."

She sat on the cannon and leaped to the side.

The moment she landed,

the cannon barrel erupted with a violent luster.

Energy gathered at the front.

"Aim..."

Kujo Mise’s expression tightened, and she used a displacement skill to move behind the shikigami.

Cannonballs don't turn corners; as long as there were shikigami between her and Tana, Tana couldn't possibly hit her!

However,

Tristana didn't even look at those shikigami.

Her displacement skill was just to bait out her opponent’s displacement!

"Fire!"

"Boom!"

The blast echoed!

An oversized cannonball shot out of the barrel, defying common sense.

The cannon was just a carrier for Tristana’s energy;

these cannonballs were the powerful energy contained within her body!

The cannonball shot out,

blasting directly toward those shikigami.

"Pfft!"

"Such strong power?" Everyone was shocked.

The giant cannonball tore through all ten shikigami and blasted toward Kujo Mise’s face.

Just then, a golden light appeared on Kujo Mise.

An invincibility skill!

"It’s useless. Tana’s Rocket Jump refreshes its cooldown whenever she kills a unit."

As she spoke, Tristana sat on the cannon

and leaped into the air.

Kujo Mise stood in place, her expression unchanged, and slowly raised her staff.

"She won," Li Yao chuckled.
