Chapter 479 - ELIMINATING THE OTHER WHITE LOTUS
BASED on the brief conversation he heard, Luo Yan could safely assume two things; One, the four teamed-up to clear this round and their team was obviously centered around the Angel. This was probably because he was a Priest. That class could do wonders for a battle royale. Two, they somehow found Dragnar and then, for some reason or the other, managed to reveal the other's location to other players.
Dragnar, being a huge threat to everyone, was like a big walking target. It wouldn't really be that big of a surprise if other players decided to team up to get rid of him as early as possible. No wonder Luo Yan saw that cluster of red dots on the map. That's probably the place where those players cornered the golden dragon.
Although if one thought about it carefully, it's hard to tell who were the ones being cornered.
Seeing the way the Angel was acting, looking all guilty and righteous, Luo Yan quickly understood what the other was planning. As a fellow white lotus, it was not hard for him to read the little abacus in the other's mind.
He was planning to go back to Dragnar and help him. He probably thought that once he helped the golden dragon, the other would feel indebted to him and it would be easier for him to manipulate him into teaming up together. After all, being in a team with a dragon was infinitely better than his current team. And because the two technically work closely together during the last trial yesterday, the Angel probably thought that it would be much easier to manipulate him to the direction he wanted.
Luo Yan doubted that would happen though. That Dragnar didn't look that stupid. Unlike these three.
It was obvious that the Angel was the mastermind behind the plot against Dragnar. He recruited three cannon fodders to help him with his plot. And now, he's ready to take action.
How could Luo Yan let him things go according to his way?
His daggers appeared in his hands. There were still about six minutes before the effect of the Invisibility Cloak disappeared. That time was enough to get rid of these four.
He jumped down from the tree branch he was standing on. He landed perfectly behind one of the three cannon fodders. He quickly attacked his vital points. Attacking a player's vital points would make the damage much bigger.
After stabbing the neck of that player, he quickly moved to the next one who was just standing beside the one he stabbed. He slashed his throat. And then he threw both daggers to different directions – one towards the other cannon fodder and the other towards the Angel.
Because of the Eternal Lotus core of his daggers, the four didn't have any time to react before their time stopped. It would only last for three seconds. So, he quickly took back his daggers. It kind of helped that these four were huddling together. That's why it didn't really even took him a second to get back his daggers.
He first finished off the three cannon fodders. He didn't want the Angel to just heal them after he went through all that trouble to stab them. The one he stabbed on the neck, he stabbed again at the chest. He did the same thing to the other two. For good measure, he used one of his skills – [Strike Kill].
So, before the effect of the Eternal Lotus wore off, the three already turned into particles of light. Signaling that they were already eliminated.
When Lan Yu came to, the three team mates he managed to con had disappeared. Suddenly, he was the only one left. But he knew that he wasn't alone. Someone attacked them. As evidence of the tingling sensation on his arm where he was just stabbed.
But the fact that he couldn't see the other meant that they were using some kind of skill.
"Who's there?" he asked, not really expecting an answer.
He quickly healed himself, his HP coming back to full. At the same time, he used a skill that could negate any skills within a radius of one meter for five seconds. But nothing happened. He still couldn't see his attacker. Which only left him to the conclusion that the other was using an item with some kind of stealth effect.
Then he heard someone chuckling. He could hear the mockery in that laugh. Annoyance and anger filled him. He was about to use another skill when that voice spoke;
"You must be having fun playing the innocent white lotus."
Lan Yu became flustered for a second when he heard that. But he quickly recovered and acted as if he had just been wronged and bullied.
"Brother, I don't know what you're talking about. If I offend you in any way, then I apologize. Just, please, don't—"
Luo Yan rolled his eyes. He didn't let the other finish and just simply cut him off.
"Don't what? Don't hurt you? How funny. As far as I can remember, this is a battle royale. We're here to fight one another until only four remained. Or are you saying that everyone should pity you and let you survive until the end just because you're acting all weak?"
Lan Yu's eyes sank. He truly wanted to curse whoever this person was right at this moment. But he knew that he still needed to be in character. After all, everything that's happening in this island was being broadcasted live.
"I- I don't know what you're talking about. Please, don't vilify me!"
That voice chuckled again. "Man, you're really such a drama queen. Wasn't it you who manipulated those three poor players into coming up with a plan that would trap Dragnar? And then you suddenly acted all guilty and wanted to go back to help him. How funny. All of that acting just so you could team up with the dragon. Those poor fellows, they didn't even realize that you're just using them until the end."
Lan Yu's face completely darkened. "Shut up!" He stopped, realizing that he almost snapped. He quickly put back his innocent expression. "P-please, stop."
"Since you want to continue to act like some innocent saint, then why not just die here and give your spot to someone much more deserving?"
After Luo Yan said that, he quickly attacked the white lotus Angel.
