A wise choice, but first, throw the quiver behind your back down as well, quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archer quickly took off his quiver and tossed it to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His direct and decisive actions made the black-clothed man feel even more contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was natural, as he never had a chance to win against me in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clothed man glanced at the bow and the quiver in the sand and relaxed a bit more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, kneel”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While ordering that, he was staring at him, waiting to see his expression of despair and humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, to prevent the reckless lashing out of a cornered rat, he maintained a card in his hand, preparing to use it at a moment’s notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archer hesitated for a bit before puffing out his chest and mustered all his courage to shout: “A soldier can be killed but not humiliated!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——as a long-ranged attacker, his Profession required him to be swift, so his running speed was indeed fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what use is that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clothed man chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put away the defensive card he prepared before and then he randomly drew a movement card and threw it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The card was activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clothed man vanished and suddenly reappeared in front of the archer, perfectly blocking his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archer was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was dashing for his life, he couldn’t possibly stop in time, rolling several times on the ground before struggling to regain his balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a bit more, not a bit less, he happened to stop perfectly at a distance of 10 feet from the black-clothed man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this what a card user is capable of?” the archer muttered at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clothed man gracefully twirled a card in his hand and slowly replied: “Of course, for a card user, instantaneous movement within a short distance is nothing but child’s play, not at all a struggle like yourself”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed: “Pitiful archer, choose, do you want to die, or kneel”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archer also sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression of shock and despair disappeared completely as he coldly spoke: “You are too arrogant. In truth, both arrogance and prejudice are nothing but danger to yourself in a fight”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the black-clothed man had a bad feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——but there’s no one else around here, both his bow and arrow were already thrown away, what sort of danger could there be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trusting his instinct, the black-clothed man wanted to draw a few more cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he realized a horrifying truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——-he was unable to draw any card, he wasn’t even able to move his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemed to be some sort of restraining power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But where is the enemy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, I still have almost a hundred cards, countless abilities, and powers that I still haven’t shown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I were to fight at full power, this world itself would be shaken!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who restrained me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With deep confusion and unwillingness, the black-clothed man’s world turned to darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his final moments, he seemed to have seen the archer holding a sword and swung at him from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha——–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blood spilled everywhere, but quickly got scattered by the violent sword-infused wind that followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body wasn’t able to handle the power of the sword phantom either, as it was finely diced and chopped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spherical barrier was extremely potent in defending against ranged attacks, but it failed to even slow the sword down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—–in fact, according to the rules of the card, this attack was actually considered a melee attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secret Art, [Life Seeker].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within 10 feet, I seek out your life and extinguish it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan ignored the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because a person who approached a battle with a sense of superiority and arrogance wasn’t worthy of further attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply looked at the void of space in front of himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the War God UI, the number that represented his total Soul Points value was increasing at a rapid rate.\u003C\u002Fp>",1595,"2026-06-09T03:05:24.010Z",1,"novelbin.me","c0335f47c34b1a6292e9c92e59b8d4c7fa83d6e530b2eedcb0b279ad666cd3c4","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-697","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-695",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
