My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2737 -913: War Marshal Murphy Defeats God’s Chosen Huggesen! Oh Yeah [8/10]

The Midnight Assassin of the Thorn Clan struck like a phantom, agile like Shani in place, even concealing its breath, able to traverse shadows freely. With enough speed, it could replicate the invisible Flying Thunder God Slash.

Facing Blood Covenant Clan’s Sword of Retribution, steady like Palano possessed, each swing resonated with the power of judgment, making Huggesen feel the punishment of his own sins even when blocking a strike.

This was unavoidable true damage.

With the Night Blade Sword Technique of the Blood Fear Clan prowling around, versatile in attack and defense like Babro traversing the sea, each encounter, each swipe across Huggesen’s body, siphoned a bit of power from him to the bearer, akin to a greedy pirate unwilling to forgo even the tiniest gain.

The core power of the Blood Vulture Clan, enhanced by Blood Spirit’s energy, made Murphy increasingly faster; just within two minutes of aggressive thrusts, Murphy’s movement and attack speed doubled and was breaking into triple speed, creating three illusions due to his sheer velocity, as if four Murphys simultaneously besieged Huggesen.

This scene made Triss, high above, rub her eyes. For a moment, she truly believed Murphy might have invoked some forbidden magic to “invite” Salockdale’s essence upon himself, for this storm-like combat style was indeed what the old Clan Leader was known for.

While observers found it absurd, the confronting enemy found it even more troubling. God’s Chosen of the Hunt initially thought Murphy was just flailing desperately; even a mere silver obstructing his path would be impressive. But the longer the fight went, the shakier his belief became.

Murphy, notoriously fond of exploiting hacks for quick kills, made others believe Murphy was not adept at dueling. Reality proved the Creator’s Chosen was formidable even without such exploits.

Especially when wielding two peculiar weapons that easily penetrated divine protection, his lethality became all the more unnerving.

It was like a dance on the knife’s edge.

A single heavy hit from Huggesen could leave Murphy gravely injured, but conversely, when Huggesen had ill luck, the Solar Blade piercing his heart could similarly deal a grave blow.

Tricky!

God’s Chosen wielded a warhammer with an impenetrable defense against Murphy’s rapid seventeen sword strikes, swiftly activating his Golden Law in a split second.

Resulting to core power against silver was humiliating, but given Murphy’s presence, it seemed excuse-worthy.

The Master of Hunting’s enhanced perception for God’s Chosen activated; the elusive breath and tactics poured into Huggesen’s mind, allowing him to foresee Murphy’s attack trajectories. He maneuvered backward to evade the Solar Blade’s thrust and unleashed a charged hammer strike in a lightning dodge right before the Light Saber pierced his heart.

“Boom”

In a thunderous explosion, Murphy was blown out from his rapid motion, exploding into a swarm of bats which regrouped further away. Before he could breathe from narrowly escaping death, he saw Huggesen’s warhammer, wreathed in lightning, smashing onto him.

With a crisp hit, Murphy was knocked down where he stood, his long health bar instantly emptied.

He died.

The next moment, time flowed back, and a spin in the earthy flowing sands of time restored him to peak condition.

Unarmed, Huggesen rushed forward, dodging a vicious sneak attack from Necessary Evil behind him. The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade made a nimble turn in midair, continuing its assault but was struck by Huggesen’s punch, buzzing away.

“Your ability to resurrect is wonderful! It lets me relish crushing you several more times.”

Huggesen grabbed the warhammer, swinging it down again while the cold and frozen ground shattered, with Murphy spreading his wings to soar into the air. With acceleration in the heavens and deceleration in the Star Realm, he enhanced his already fast movement to an undetectable speed, like a Crimson Storm swirling around the slowed Huggesen.

In a true instant of a thousand strikes, Huggesen used the warhammer to shield vital points, curling up to endure Master Mo’s scraping attacks.

This is what combat is.

Seeking speed means sacrificing strength. When attempting both, a body cannot sustain for long. Master Mo chose speed in this round, yet by leverage of his weapon, he promptly shattered Huggesen’s Hunting Armor amidst the Blade Storm, seizing the opportunity to stab Huggesen’s back heart.

Good news, the Light Saber penetrated successfully; the Dissolving Blade’s dramatic effect crushed one of Huggesen’s hearts instantly.

Bad news, this guy is a Werewolf, notoriously possessing two hearts.

“Caught you!”

Enduring severe pain, Huggesen seized the perfect timing to hit a second strike, War God’s Might converging on the warhammer like a demon at the gates, striking down overhead at Murphy.

With a booming impact, the warhammer obliterated the frontal 90° area, demonstrating Golden One’s brutal destructiveness without question. The ground fragmented meters down in a consolidated collapse, propelled by red fury, forming an impact triangle crater outwardly, with scattered soil pelting like hail, splitting open a hapless Ratman’s head directly.
