Chapter 578 Defeat?

"WHAT?" The other party was livid with anger. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU BLABERRING ABOUT?" he shouted. He was already at the mad bull stage and was ready to attack Liam.

And the gong as well sounded at the exact same time. The two players found themselves teleported to the same battleground as before, barren land with nowhere to hide.

AWOOO! AWOOO! AWOOO!

Immediately, the guy howled and swung his axe wildly. "I am going to rip you apart limb from limb and feed you to my dogs. You are fucking dead, you little slut."

He was in full form as he shouted at the top of his lungs and dashed forward toward Liam, howling loudly. Sand kicked up, and the rocks shattered as each of his steps thundered on the land.

Everyone could see that just one blow from this guy could send one to the respawn graveyard. However, Liam was still laughing like a lunatic. He couldn't control himself.

This only infuriated the guy further. "HOW DARE YOU STAND IN FRONT OF ME?" He shouted and swung the axe at Liam. His attack had tremendous pressure behind it. One could see the wind rippling from the swing.

But Liam was still calm. He lazily lifted up the sword to block the attack. "Let's finish this fast, Luna. We have things to do." Liam actually turned his head to look at the fox, and the two of them were chatting.

On this side, this sword clashed with the axe sending out a horrendously loud vibration. "YOU DARE UNDERESTIMATE ME?" The guy shouted and attacked Liam again.

He was revving up, and this time his attack was even faster, but Liam once again used a simple sword move to block him. "One more right?" He chuckled and asked Luna and the little fox had no idea what was happening.

"JUST DIE ALREADY!" The guy screamed at this humiliation and swung the weapon with all the strength he could muster.

CLANG! An ear-piercing metallic sound blared, and in the next second, everyone gasped in shock. The guy on the battleground also froze. Shock and dread were etched on his face.

The weapon on his hand… was broken?

"For the record, your little thief friend was better than you. Who doesn't notice when their weapon turns to complete shit? Check your weapon stats every now and then. Ha Ha Ha Ha. It should no longer be legendary grade."

Others might not have noticed it, but Liam figured it out right away.

The weapon the guy took out was the same axe but it was different. The powerful aura was no longer there. The weapon still probably gave a good boost of stats, but that was about it.

And as for the powerful aura that gave him the actual burst in strength… it should be the one clinging to Derek at the moment. He needed to finish this fight soon and go to him.

Liam stopped talking and kicked away the broken pieces. It looked as if he did it out of arrogance, but he kicked the scrap metal toward Luna.

"What are you saying? My weapon…" The opponent looked like a zombie whose soul had just departed, waving goodbye. In the last match, Derek's weapon had broken, but now his own weapon had broken.

Liam did not give him any time to stand there and figure things out. He swung his sword a couple more times and quickly finished the match.

Without the burst of power from the axe, the guy flailed like an air-filled balloon and then popped, becoming a corpse.

GONG! The bell rang, and an ominous silence filled the entire Yleka city. What just happened? How could the match be over already?

Everyone had expected a nail-biting, bone-chilling match this time also. However, what happened was anti-climactic.

On top of it, they were also utterly confused. What happened to the strong howling weapon?

Last match, the person and the weapon were an unstoppable force. They clashed like a blood-thirsty demon, but now the axe was like a kitten, and the player looked like an idiot.

In under a minute, the fight was over!

The battleground as well started disappearing, and the two players appeared on the arena stage again, one dead and one alive.

Immediately afterward, Liam looked to Luna, "Did you get it?"

Kyuuu! The fox dropped the two halves of the broken weapon near him.

"Good girl." Liam patted the fox and picked up the broken pieces to directly toss them into his inventory space.

The essence of the weapon might be missing, but the weapon should still be crafted from top-notch materials that he could reuse.

He then licked his lips and looked for the other drops. One of the shields had dropped. "Tch. Only Epic grade." Liam cracked his neck and tossed this one also into the bag.

Everyone who was witnessing this scene wanted to beat him up. How many items dropped? What were the stats? They wanted to know!

However, it was useless to guess because only the Crimson Abyss guild members would benefit from this.

"Two down. One more to go." Liam let out a long sigh. The end of this mind-fucking tournament was finally here.

He eyed the only other person in the huge auditorium beside him. This was the last of the three. Everyone else had been kicked out. It was now only him and that guy. This match would determine everything.

Crimson Abyss could either emerge from this tournament as an Overlord, or he could be erased from existence. Liam was well aware that this was also an outcome and a very real possibility.

This tournament was not deadly when he first joined. The rules of this game were also rigid, but now everything has changed.

The tower master seemed to be an existence who was at the top. It was a real possibility that he could bend the rules to his will.

Liam would be a fool to underestimate him. Anything was possible. Moreover, the third player hadn't played in any matches thus far. So he did not know what cards he held.
