Chapter 144: Interrupting DPS

Kamiyu and Lei Yao were engaged in a royal city duel. She had landed several hits on Lei Yao, allowing her to observe the changes in his health bar, but Lei Yao had yet to hit Kamiyu, making his health information transparent only to her.

Seeing Lei Yao’s health bar “whoosh” upward, rising all the way to 99 bars, Kamiyu initially worried she might have given him too much of a transfusion.

However, she soon saw a turning point: Lei Yao’s health stopped increasing, and the 99 bars plummeted rapidly.

They vanished with a “swish, swish, swish.”

Players who had previously attacked Lei Yao could all see the changes in his health.

“What’s happening? His health bar is dropping?” one player exclaimed, eyes wide.

“Wow, it really is dropping.”

“I told you, we should trust Lady Kamier,” a Squad player said smugly, rubbing his nose with a finger.

“Impressive. The Prince’s Battle Tactic really works.”

“I think Lei Yao’s armor ran out, causing the health he absorbed to be outpaced by the damage,” someone speculated.

“So you’re saying Lady Kamier’s attack power is so strong that even healing can’t keep up?” a player asked, mouth agape.

The Surrender Faction member stepped forward again to voice dissent, spreading his hands and shaking his head. “This Kamier still doesn’t know how to play. Her weapon won’t be able to handle this.

As everyone knows, using skills with a weapon also consumes durability. The more powerful the skill, the faster the durability drains. If she keeps messing around like this, her weapon will burn out sooner or later. Let’s see what she does then.”

“What? Is that true?” A newcomer player, whose hopes had just been rekindled, felt his enthusiasm instantly extinguished.

The other veteran players remained silent, tacitly agreeing with the Surrender Faction player’s statement.

Even Li Changde couldn’t step forward to refute it. He gazed anxiously at Kamiyu soaring in the sky, engaged in a “tug-of-war.”

A tug-of-war between her weapon’s durability and Lei Yao’s health, to see which would deplete faster.

Li Changde’s heart was filled with anxiety, but the battle between the two had already surpassed the point where others could intervene. He could only silently pray for Lady Kamiyu.

In the sky, Kamiyu, of course, noticed the durability of her weapon, Sound of Chaos, was rapidly declining.

“Huh? The buff Heavenly Father gave me doesn’t include weapon durability? What’s going on? How stingy,” Kamiyu grumbled inwardly.

Fortunately, the equipment she crafted with her Construction Sage Talent came with triple attributes, including triple durability. While Lei Yao’s Dark Gold Longsword, Doombringer, had 300 durability, her Sound of Chaos had 900.

599/600

569/600

“It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s holding steady. Even if it drops to 1 point, I can repair it afterward with Enhancement Points. Besides, it’s not just Sound of Chaos that can use Magic Bullets; my NTW-40 and Demon-Repelling Holy Flame can also use them.”

“Ultimately, this battle between me and Lei Yao is a contest of foundation and resources. With my Construction Sage Talent and Enhancement Talent, I really have nothing to fear from Lei Yao,” Kamiyu thought confidently.

Meanwhile, Lei Yao, who was being forced to kneel as punishment by Kamiyu’s “training,” had spent over 60 health bars to fully restore the 300 durability of his Doombringer.

Lei Yao believed he could not continue like this any longer; persisting would only allow Kamiyu to whittle away his health until death. Summoning all his strength, he stood up and swung his sword with both hands.

Water-Calling Sword Style, Sever Reality.

Once again, he unleashed that bizarre, unpredictable Dimensional Slash that transcended space.

A powerful black sword energy suddenly appeared behind Kamiyu.

The crowd shouted, “Lady Kamier, the Saintess, be careful!”

“It’s a sneak attack!”

Lei Yao’s Dimensional Slash this time was too well-concealed in angle, striking directly from behind with incredible speed and close proximity.

Before Kamiyu could even turn to look, she was struck by the slash, her entire body sent flying forward, and her continuously firing Phase Energy Cannon was interrupted.

“Can a slash be this fast? Could it be that Lei Yao was hiding his strength during those two strikes on the city gate earlier?” Kamiyu adjusted her posture even as she flew through the air.

Seizing the opportunity while Kamiyu’s Skill was interrupted, Lei Yao continuously used the Water-Calling Sword Style, Sever Reality.

He unleashed Dimensional Slashes one after another, attacking Kamiyu from every angle.

These black sword energies assaulted Kamiyu like dense anti-aircraft fire.

At this moment, she could only continuously dart and weave through the sky, evading these Dimensional Slashes, unable to stop for even a moment.

Seeing Kamiyu’s “disheveled” evasion, Lei Yao laughed and said, “Is that all? Is that all? In terms of experience, you are still far from matching me.”

Those on the city wall were deeply worried for Kamiyu’s safety.

Li Changde anxiously thought, why isn’t Lady Kamiyu attacking? Doesn’t she have many pieces of Armor? She could use the Armor to block the slashes. What is she waiting for?

The members of the Surrender Faction began to gloat: “I told you so, if you can’t win, you just can’t win. It’s better to surrender early, that way we can still get a meal from Lord Lei Yao.”

“Exactly, it doesn’t matter who we follow, as long as I get a meal,” another Surrender Faction Player said, burying his head in the sand like an ostrich.

“That’s right, whoever feeds you is your master. This is an eternal truth. You stubborn fools, why don’t you kneel with us and welcome Lord Lei Yao’s rule?” a Surrender Faction member said, revealing a smug, petty expression.

“Fight well, that’s how it should be done,” other Surrender Faction members entered a cheering mode.

They were waiting for Kamiyu to be defeated so they could be the first to welcome Lei Yao, curry favor with him, and secure higher status for themselves.

But unfortunately, in Lei Yao’s eyes, everyone was merely a tool to be used, everyone was his war Chess Piece, cannon fodder. The more they flattered him, the more likely he would drive them to the very front lines, relegating them to the first wave of cannon fodder.

Unable to bear it, Li Changde shouted loudly, “Record the IDs and appearances of these people. In the future, Lady Kamier’s Sanctuary will absolutely not allow these people to enter.”

“Yes.”

“Tch, what’s so great about her Sanctuary? Doesn’t Lord Lei Yao have Sanctuaries? He has two Sanctuaries. Wait until Lord Lei Yao enters the Main City and rules Kaijistan,” a Surrender Faction member boasted.

“Lei Yao is the lord of a city, with one Main City plus two Sanctuaries, isn’t that even better? Who would care about your trash Sanctuary?

Besides, your Sanctuary isn’t even built yet, right? Guess if Lord Lei Yao will give you the chance to build it?” another Surrender Faction member arrogantly tilted his head back.

“I advise you all to surrender quickly, just like we did—oh, no, I mean to pledge allegiance to Lord Lei Yao. He will surely treat us well.” A member of the Surrender Faction spoke these words without feeling the slightest disgust, instead trying to win others over.

What mattered most was that some real fence-sitters had indeed joined their ranks, many of whom were old acquaintances of Li Changde, which infuriated him to no end.
