Chapter 552: Dazzling? or Just Crazy?
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Carrying the heavy burden of their fates, all the players had experienced the stunning adventure in the continent of Dungeon Fighter Online as they walked toward their awakenings step by step.
“I have nothing to lose…” In Empyrean, that gunner who was wearing a dark purple windbreaker pressed on a bomb trigger and leaped down under the gazes of the enemies who had surrounded him.
“You must care for your weapon like it’s your baby.” When the music of Dungeon Fighter Online sounded, the words of Blacksmith Uncle Linus in Elvenguard resonated in their ears.
While the scenes flashed before them, the music suddenly turned high and passionate.
[Awakening]
One word appeared on the dark screen.
Among the beams of flowing array light, countless demons floated in space. The scene where that horrifying Blache dashed out of the death swamp flashed on the screen.
Then, the crazy-looking demon hacked down his sword, shattering the ground. Lava and beams of fire instantly shot up into the sky!
The scenes of earth-shaking battles flashed before the eyes of the audience.
“My goodness!” Dong Qingli exclaimed when the screen paused at the scene when a champion (Female strikers’ 1st awakening) killed an Abyss Demon with one kick.
“This is my champion!”
Sitting in Heaven-Hiding Palace, Jessica and the others’ jaws almost dropped as they watched this scene.
“What are you doing here? Lord Vanguard General is holding a meeting, and you guys…” Some luxuriously-dressed men and women walked in. At this moment, on the screen, golden battleships flew across the void in the starry sky, looking like ever-lasting fortresses in space.
The huge golden battlecruisers spread out in space. The unrivaled golden battleship fleet of the Protoss ignited the audience.
Screams and exclamations rose in waves!
Sitting on futons cross-legged on their respective squares, the disciples and elders of the Liuyun Daoist Palace and Cloud Ocean Faction intently watched the opening cinematics with blood boiling in their veins.
The disciples sitting in the back clenched their fists and thought, I must work hard! One day, I’ll also become an E-Sports player and attend this competition!
“Look! Isn’t that young man from the Nanhua Faction?!” A disciple from the Heavenly Sword Faction pointed at a swift master flashing on the big screen.
“He’s now a core disciple now! His talent in gaming is much greater than ours!”
“My goodness…” The first disciple’s face darkened.
At this moment, the faces of Jessica and the other outlanders were now all pale, and they thought, We are here to spend our holiday, and you natives present this stuff to us?
Who are the barbarians? You or me?!
“What on earth is this?!” Kevin yelled in alarm.
“Quickly call over Carl!”
“Call them all here to watch this!”
Soon, all the outlanders sat down in rows and watched the E-Sports competition intently.
They had totally forgotten about their claims to stun the people of the Spiritual State.
It seemed like they had come all the way here to watch the competition.
…
When the opening cinematics came to an end, the high and passionate music of electric guitar came from below. Under the spotlights, a charming woman wearing a green, trailing long dress was holding a dark blue electric guitar. Her green-jade-like eyes looked like the surface of a lake in the autumn with reflective lights.
The audience was charmed by her smile and moves.
With the passionate and echoing heavy-metal music, the big screen behind her was filled with fire and smoke of a war between stars.
Then, her clear and passionate singing sounded.
“What’s she singing about? I don’t understand one word of it.” Sitting in a seat in the front row, Sia asked in her poor Spiritual State language.
“It’s said to be a Western language… She is singing a song named ‘Nightwish – She Is My Sin,’ Luo Piaoling whispered to her.
[TL Note: This song is the theme song for Counter Strike 1.6, which was really popular in China.]
“Why can’t she sing in the language of the Ultimate West Realm?”
Although the audience couldn’t understand the words, they were enchanted by the rhythm. At this moment, another voice joined in as the music switched, and it sounded light, ethereal, pure, and melodious.
Two songs intertwined with each other as if a holy angel and a seductive demon joined their voices. In the end, a fairy-like woman wearing pure-white clothes flew down from the sky.
“F*ck!”
“Awesome!”
“It is worth it to not play games today!”
Stunned by these visual effects, the audience erupted into cheers, and the atmosphere was hyped.
Then, thunder seemed to be rumbling in the sky, and the big screen showed some fascinating scenes where players fought their way up from the low ranking to the high ranking to get into the competition. Some of them made it, and some of them didn’t.
An elemental bomber waved his magic staff, and the magic arrays on the ground exploded in flames.
Meanwhile, the singers seemed to have begun to sing in the language of the Spiritual State.
“The witch lifted her wand and left a frost flower on the windowsill;
She seemed to remember that the prophecy told this story;
He came from a snowstorm, freezing time that was anxious…”
…
A desperado (Male rangers’ 1st awakening) fought back in an impossible situation and claimed victory.
A desperado player who had entered the competition had tears in his eyes when he saw this scene. It was a flashback of his last battle before he entered the top 64. Even watching it now, his heart raced, and he was a little scared.
At this moment, even the outlanders in the Heaven-Hiding Palace were stupefied by what they saw.
“How can these people have such terrifying combat experience?!”
“Are they still humans?!”
Of course, they didn’t know that each participant in this E-Sports competition had fought more than 4,000 matches, not including their battles with the Abyss Demons.
“Look! What’s that?!”
A golden transportation aircraft flew over, and Protoss high templars dropped from the sky. Then, a psi storm swept across the whole battlefield!
A horrifying sea of zerg units was turned into ashes in one instant.
“Psionic lightning matrix! It’s a play that consists of dropping psionic storms from the air!” one player exclaimed.
“Airdropping ten Protoss high templars! This is a super psionic lightning matrix!”
“My goodness!”
In the Heaven-Hiding Palace, Jessica and the other outlanders yelled, “Holy God!”
“What’s this now?!”
“They seem to be yelling something like psionic lightning matrix?! It’s crazy! So powerful!”
“What am I watching?! These people are holding battles among such grandmasters?!”
At this moment, the songs came to an end while the last few words resonating in their ears, “Dazzling or just crazy?”
With wide-open eyes, the outlanders exchanged a look while gaping.
They had never been stunned and shocked like this before.
