Chapter 577 lf l were you...
The two players were teleported back to the arena stage on the tournament floor. This time there wasn't any delay or any surprises. The thief's corpse disappeared, and Liam was the only one standing.
Luna immediately dashed forward to see what shiny thing dropped before any other creature could beat her to it.
She grabbed it roughly and dropped it near Liam. A pair of daggers unceremoniously laid in front of him. His eyes widened in surprise on seeing the item.
"Damn. It really dropped!" He couldn't believe it even though he was seeing the thing on the ground with his own eyes. He had already expected this but still… it actually dropped?
He bent down to pick up the daggers coated with Luna's saliva.
[Ding. Serpentine Daggers; Legendary Rank; Binds when equipped]
He ran his fingers along the dagger, observing every little detail. They were so sharp that they would have drawn blood if he was not careful, but something about it was different.
The weapon almost seemed to be slumbering right now. There was a snake carved on its hilt, coiled around the entire dagger, its thin tail running along the blade edges.
This snake had looked alive during the fight, its red eyes glimmering, but now nothing was visible. It looked lifeless.
"This must be why he was able to use so many poison attacks," Liam muttered. He tossed it inside quickly as he did not want to reveal it in front of the prying eyes of the entire Yleka city.
A cold look flashed past his eyes. Another legendary item was in their possession now.
In his previous life, with only Anya possessing a treasure like this, the group had soared to the top, but now their guild possessed two legendary items.
This was a twist in the timeline he hadn't expected. This would greatly boost their strength as a whole. However, the price they had paid for it was also too great.
Mia had died for this, and he was also not out of the hot water yet.
The mysterious person they were up against had just lost a legendary item. He wouldn't let things go so easily. Maye in the next match…
Liam silently watched as another player walked up the stage. If he was not wrong, the weapon he held should also be equally precious. This was the person who had managed to take down Derek.
The tank eyed Liam menacingly and climbed up to stand in front of him. He then took out the same axe he had used against Derek and banged it on the ground in the same domineering way.
All the players watching this scene gasped. They had still not digested the last match, and now the next opponent had already arrived.
The previous high-speed, heavy fight between the two tanks was still freshly etched in everyone's mind. They had also seen Derek's corpse.
From all of this, every single player had assumed that Derek had died. Permanently.
Since this concept was now spreading all over the internet in the real world, everyone couldn't help but jump to this conclusion.
Would their top ranker be able to fight against this guy as well, or would he also be killed? One of the two outcomes would mean that the Crimson Abyss guild had lost a significant player.
So all the top guilds looked forward to this outcome. This tournament had nothing to do with them any longer. Only the few players who placed a bet on Liam were still holding their breath.
The rest of them simply wanted to watch the match and learn a few things or simply wanted to watch Crimson Abyss be ruined.
Expecting a similar reaction, the guy on the stage also sneered at Liam and licked his lips. "You will be a good prey to my axe. Ha Ha Ha"
Everyone's eyes widened at the obvious implication of this statement. That sword devours? They gawked at the huge axe and gulped. Crimson Abyss was done for this time.
Alex and Mia also looked nervous. They did not even have the time to rejoice that Liam had successfully thwarted away one threat. The second danger was standing right at their door.
"Damn it. This fucking tournament is going to give me a heart condition." Alex sighed.
"What the hell is happening? I wish we had never joined this in the first place. Now, this is going to be another long and deadly struggle."
"Do you think Liam will be able to win this time too?" She looked at Mia, who had a strange look on her face as she stared at the display.
"Yes. That axe is quite terrifying." Alex concurred.
"No. I am not looking at that. I am looking at him."
"Huh? Who are you talking about?" Alex absent-mindedly looked at the owner of the axe who still had the smug, arrogant expression plastered on his face.
She then shifted her gaze to look at the other person in front of him, Liam.
Almost instantly, she was shocked because this guy looked even more villainous compared to that guy as he revealed a big evil smile.
"What the hell could he be possibly laughing about now? Does he even have any tank skills? Without them, he won't be able to withstand this fight!" She was completely confused and looked to Mia for answers, who was equally clueless.
All the players also noticed Liam smiling, and no one knew what was going on. Even the player standing on the stage seemed to be confounded by Liam's attitude.
"Don't be overconfident. You defeated a useless guy. The rest of us won't be that easy." His eyes shone with arrogance as he banged the domineering axe again, the clanging sound resounding across the big auditorium.
However, Liam remained unfazed and did not look intimidated by his tactics. Rather he covered his forehead and eyes with his palm and chuckled loudly. "If I were you, I wouldn't bang that axe so much."
