[Hell Gladiator Arena, Arena Level-2, Battlefield No. 28]
Inoue Amano, with a bloodthirsty nature, continuously killed contestants from other nations within the same battlefield, plundering their high-level missions to more quickly earn points.
Relying on the strength of his legendary class, Ghost Blade Dancer, and as the number one powerhouse in Eastern Nation, there was almost no professional in Battlefield 28 who could be Inoue Amano's match.
Any contestant who encountered Inoue Amano, unless they were from Eastern Nation or its allied nations, were only fated to be killed.
Watching his points and ranking rise rapidly, in that moment, the corners of Inoue Amano's mouth became harder to suppress than an AK.
Though countless people in the livestream disliked Inoue Amano, they were powerless against him.
Inoue Amano already knew that Zhang Yue, Restiev, Wolong, and Hidden Dragon, the ones most threatening to him, weren't in the same battlefield. He also knew that many viewers from Dragon Nation, Bear Nation, Sevia, and Thracian Nation were currently watching his livestream, so he became even more unrestrained, directly provoking and taunting the various nations in his stream, "I know you all want to kill me, but please, show me some strength! With your pitiful skills, you think you can kill me? What a fantasy!"
"Where are your Dragon Nation and Bear Nationn powerhouses? Don't tell me you don't have a single one who can fight? As for Thracian, Sevia, and Argenine, you little vassal nations, stop following Dragon Nation around like lapdogs. Know your place. The weak have their place among the weak."
Outside the stream, viewers from the nations called out were all burning with rage.
At this moment, opposite Inoue Amano, a silhouette suddenly appeared a hundred meters away.
Inoue Amano narrowed his eyes, gazing at the newcomer.
A tight black combat outfit perfectly highlighted the girl's graceful figure.
Her gaze was cold.
Dual-wielding blades, adding a sharper, colder air to her presence.
From Dragon Nation, legendary class professional, Shadow Dancer Cappuccino.
Upon recognizing her identity, Inoue Amano merely showed mild surprise.
The astonishment in his eyes quickly returned to calm.
Because in his eyes, there were only four people from Dragon Nation capable of posing a real threat to him.
They were: Zero, Wolong, Hidden Dragon, and Empress Xuan.
Even Dragon Nation's three greatest powerhouses, Ice Emperor, Moon Mark, and Seraph, Inoue Amano didn't take seriously, let alone this female assassin who'd only recently been resurrected?
"Didn't expect... you're also in Battlefield 28," he said.
Chen Zijin gazed calmly at Inoue Amano and replied, "What, a little unexpected?"
"It is surprising, to meet a legendary class professional," Inoue Amano said lightly, gripping his ghost blade, "Unfortunately, your legendary class is not on the same level as mine. You don't qualify to be my opponent."
In the livestream chat, the audience sighed.
["Who's this female assassin? I don't think she's listed in Dragon Nation's professional rankings. But she looks so cool, daring to provoke Eastern Nation's number one!"]
["Isn't this the Shadow Dancer Cappuccino who was resurrected by Zero using the Resurrection God Stone a while ago? Dragon Nation's up-and-coming champion from a few years back. But no one knows if this sleeping beauty still has her former strength now that she's awakened."]
["She's beautiful and has a great figure. Yes yes yes, I like her!"]
["But her opponent is Eastern Nation's number one. She probably can't beat him, right?"]
["No way she can win. Experts already said that Inoue Amano's overall strength ranks top five in the world. Aside from Elfa, Kwon Ji-Hyun, and Restiev, no one can beat him. In Hell Gladiator Arena, everyone's levels are set to 175. In an even-level field, maybe only Zero can fight him. Unless this female assassin's strength can rival Zero?"]
["She's definitely a goddess. I hope Inoue Amano doesn't abuse my goddess too badly."] [T/N: Sus]
———
On the battlefield, facing Inoue Amano's taunts, Chen Zijin simply smiled faintly, "Then let's try it!"
As her voice dropped, Chen Zijin's figure moved like lightning, vanishing from her spot and instantly thrusting toward Inoue Amano.
Inoue Amano's eyes flashed with disdain.
"Hmph, petty tricks!"
Just as Chen Zijin closed in—
Slash!
He raised his blade and cut, slicing Chen Zijin into ashes.
Inoue Amano blinked in surprise.
"What?"
"Clone technique!"
Inoue Amano quickly reacted, turning and slashing behind him to perfectly block the attack from the real Chen Zijin.
He said coldly, "Fast, but your move has already been seen through."
"Oh really? Then you'd better be careful, because this isn't an ordinary clone technique," Chen Zijin smiled slightly, and her body suddenly turned to ash.
'Second clone?'
Inoue Amano's pupils shrank.
'An assassin's clone technique at 4S level can summon two clones. 5S can summon three.'
'But 3S-level clone techniques can only summon one. How did she summon two at once?'
Fortunately, Inoue Amano's reflexes were sharp.
He quickly retreated and slashed again, blocking Chen Zijin's attack, only to discover: the Chen Zijin in front of him was still a clone.
By the time the fourth, fifth, and sixth clones were destroyed, Inoue Amano could no longer count how many clones she had released.
'What kind of skill is this?'
"Idiot, Shadow Clone Technique!"
At some unknown moment, Chen Zijin and three of her clones appeared around Inoue Amano, front, back, left, and right.
Inoue Amano could no longer tell which was the real one and which were clones.
"Then I'll kill all of you!"
Blade drawn, SLASH!
WHOOSH!
A 360-degree circular blade light burst outward.
All four Chen Zijins turned to ash and vanished.
Inoue Amano's face twisted in shock.
"Nani?"
'They were all clones? Not a single real one?'
'Then where is her real body...'
The next second, Chen Zijin, like a flash of lightning, suddenly pierced through Inoue Amano's body.
"Right here~", Chen Zijin smiled back at Inoue Amano.
This surpassed everything Inoue Amano knew.
Shadow Clone Technique, SSS-level unique skill!
Back when Chen Zijin had just obtained this skill, she was assassinated by Eastern Nation assassins. The skill disappeared from the world with her death. As a result, there were no historical records of it.
By the time Inoue Amano realized what was happening, the destroyed clones had already reformed into a rotating blade light, piercing back and forth through his body.
In an instant, his HP bar was emptied.
THUD—
He fell to his knees.
Whoosh!
In front of countless livestream viewers, Inoue Amano turned into a streak of white light and vanished from the battlefield.
In front of Chen Zijin, a panel popped up——
