Chapter 387: Forget It, Let's Surrender

A stone, a stone falling from hundreds of meters high in the sky.

Trailing a long exhaust plume behind it, it looked like a Meteorite falling from outer space, making people tremble in fear.

Holger didn't know exactly how big this thing was, but he knew one thing.

This thing is big enough!

Big enough to possibly cover the entire arena.

A corner! Right now only a corner can save me!

Although he didn't know how that Witch Lan Qingyou actually achieved this, now wasn't the time to think about these things.

The stone in the sky was whistling downwards.

Now Holger used the fastest speed in his life to run wildly towards the nearest corner of the arena.

The stone smashed onto the arena, causing the entire arena to shake like an earthquake.

Holger rushed to the corner at the last second, barely managing not to be crushed by the stone.

Even so, he only managed to run over under the condition of throwing away his shield.

Otherwise, he might have already been flattened into a pancake.

"This Witch really doesn't show any mercy at all."

Holger, who hadn't heard Lan Qingyou's warning just now, wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained.

No...

Not only did she not show mercy, but her methods were exceptionally ruthless!

Reaching out to touch the stone right in front of him, after the cold sensation transmitted to Holger's hand, he was certain of the reality of this thing.

He could be certain he absolutely wasn't under some Illusion Magic, but it was completely real.

This was somewhat bad, how could he get out with such a huge stone?

After all, if he couldn't get out, he wouldn't even be able to fight.

Really...

He originally wanted to stall for a bit and achieve victory, but the other party directly flipped the table and stopped playing?

Wait!

Ultimately, where did the Witch get such a huge stone?

The answer was self-evident, it's a card!

Flying into the sky and then releasing the stone stored inside a card to achieve a 'crushing people to death' effect, this had to be said to be a very simple tactic.

But the problem is, the simpler a tactic is, the fewer flaws it often has.

Thus, having found a breakthrough, Holger also difficultly took out a card from inside his plate armor, intending to store away this stone.

Storing a stone was very simple, it was nothing more than sticking the card onto the stone.

This kind of action was completed in an instant.

Fortunately, when he came out this time, he had emptied the things inside the cards, only bringing some supplies like Potions.

Otherwise, he might not even have a slot.

It seems he needs to develop a habit of leaving at least one slot open in the future.

This way he would have some leeway when encountering sudden emergencies.

However, before Holger could feel proud, the sky was shrouded in shadow once again.

Holger looked up and couldn't help but curse out loud.

"Is there no end to this! How can we still fight like this?"

That's right, another stone was smashing down from the sky.

"Just surrender, if you surrender everything will be over."

The stone hadn't fallen yet, giving Holger and Lan Qingyou a brief moment to communicate.

Although this way of fighting was indeed very shameless, it had to be said that since the transparent person referee didn't stop it, it meant the other party didn't break any rules.

But telling him to surrender... Holger was still somewhat reluctant.

But the problem was, what else could he do if he didn't surrender?

Looking at it now, it was almost an impossible thing for him to still want to fight.

Not to mention the insufficient attack range for now, just from the way the other party continuously smashed stones down, he could tell he would ultimately very likely be trapped to death in this corner.

Suffocating!

Fighting a battle to this point had to be called suffocating.

Holger swore that as a knight, he must find a flying mount in the future to prevent such a 'tragedy' from happening again.

No! The entire Spade Knight Order must have flying mounts!

Not only could they become sky knights, but they could also support every battlefield to a greater extent.

It's just that this time, his mission objective of entering the top four wasn't completed, and he lost so much face in front of so many people.

It seems he needs to replan the issue of wanting to establish the Knight Order's reputation.

Forget it, I'd better just surrender, to avoid wasting time, which would look even uglier.

"I surrender."

Having thought it through, Holger ultimately raised his hand and spoke those two words.

[Surrender! He surrendered!]

[The Famine Knight Holger has unexpectedly surrendered!]

[Why? Is it just because he was forced into a corner? This we do not know!]

[But now, let us congratulate Tower Witch Lan Qingyou for winning the fourth match, and simultaneously securing the last spot in the final four!]

The instant Holger surrendered, the transparent person holding a microphone loudly announced Lan Qingyou's victory.

To be honest, it didn't even know what it was here to do in this match.

Going on stage to say 'battle begins', and before having time to even drink a sip of water having to say 'congratulations', this was simply being a repeater.

No, not even as good as a repeater!

And it even had to pretend to be very happy, this is the blessing that corporate drones and workhorses deserve.

Victorious?

No, there are still the semi-finals of four into two and the grand finals to determine the first place.

I believe they should be better to watch, right?

If the person involved, Holger, was very clear on how strong the impact of this stone falling from the sky was, then the audience watching outside the screen from multiple camera angles was mostly just shocked by Lan Qingyou's stone-throwing trick.

"Does anyone know what this magic is? No other meaning, just purely want to learn it."

"You're dreaming."

"Actually, it doesn't seem to be very formidable, right? It's nothing more than flying high into the sky and then releasing a previously stored boulder from a card."

"Indeed, although it was very small, I also saw that Witch take out a card."

"I also think so, it's nothing more than a simple and easy to learn brute force sending bricks flying."

"...Then please tell me, how do you fly?"

"Also, after throwing the stone, how do you precisely control the stone's landing point?"

"This... aren't there Magic Brooms? Just buying the Witches' Magic Brooms would do, right? As long as you can fly, just leave the rest to the World Will?"

"Bullshit, do you think the Witches would sell?"

"Why not? Please, that's flying, a magic item so many people dream of. Maybe it can even become an industry in the future."

"Tsk tsk, I really don't know what that Knight Commander experienced in this short half a minute."

"Indeed, that kind of suffocating feeling of Meteorites falling one after another, if it were me, I reckon my breathing would become unsmooth."

"Someone! Get the Commander a change of pants!"

"Haha, you're really f*cking wicked."

Just when everyone was discussing animatedly, the transparent person's voice came from the screen again.

[First of all, congratulations to the four advanced contestants. Secondly...]

[Considering that the contestants have already undergone a whole day of high-intensity battles today, the remaining matches will be held tomorrow.]

[The specific schedule is: the semi-finals will be held at 10 AM tomorrow;]

[The grand finals and the battle for third place will be held at 3 PM tomorrow.]

[Then, contestants please rest well, and audience please wait eagerly. We will see you tomorrow.]
