Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! - Chapter 880

Chapter 880: Sore Loser
With anger creeping into his heart once more, Cobra changed his stance.

He, too, prepared to execute his trump card called [Serpent God’s Strike].

Cobra was quite confident with this skill of his.

Not only had he rarely used it—making it unknown even to most of his long-time comrades—but it also had a trick that guaranteed he could strike his opponent without fail.

Coupled with [Stoic Lv.5] and his cutlass’ item skill, [Cursed Snake’s Protection], Cobra had never lost a final showdown.

While his weapon’s item skill wasn’t entirely reliable, the [Stoic] skill more than compensated for what the protective skill couldn’t block.

As a result, although he had suffered a few heavy injuries in the past against Yon Augennian and Deltran heroes, he had always emerged victorious in the end.

He expects this time to be the same, though he would probably be barely clinging to his simulated life.

Nonetheless, a win is a win. Cobra would make sure to thoroughly humiliate Shye after his victory.

Such a thing was unfortunately unlikely to happen, however, as Shye, too, had lots of trump cards that had never failed him in the past.

With his twin greatswords glowing an eerie, silent dark purple, Shye charged forward.

Cobra’s ace skill didn’t take much longer to prepare.

Just milliseconds later, the troublemaker also rushed toward his opponent—nearly as fast as lightning—his sword bending left and right like a snake poised to strike.

The greatsword-sized cutlass was covered in red and black lightning, crackling menacingly.

At that moment, it felt as though time slowed for the elites of the entire organization and a few combat-passionate watchers from all over the world.

Among two Hadean Varsa Commanders, both extremely renowned in their own ways, was now about to decide who was stronger.

The next instant, both Shye and Cobra arrived within striking distance.

The former slashed his twin greatswords in a diagonal upward arc, making it impossible for the latter—who was thrusting his cutlass like a rapier—to dodge.

Shye also used [Spatial Lock] to ensure that Cobra wouldn’t chicken out.

The troublemaker felt the skill. However, Cobra only sneered in response.

He had no intention of running anyway.

One attack felt as though death itself was silently extending its claws, while the other was akin to an unsettling snake lurking in the darkness.

As the current situation unfolded, it was evident that the cutlass would hit first, as its course was more straightforward.

Nonetheless, like a black thunder serpent, the cutlass suddenly extended, aiming to pierce Shye’s heart.

Cobra also activated both [Stoic] and [Cursed Snake’s Protection] at that moment.

Shye, in response, activated his Impious Origin Belt’s trusty [Barrier of the Condemned] as his attack aimed for his opponent’s torso.

“Hahaha! You’re mine! Die, Shye Crowley!” Cobra roared, so overwhelmed with emotion that he momentarily forgot his opponent was merely a simulation copy.

The sub-skill of the [Serpent God’s Strike], [Bypass], activated the next moment, allowing the thunder serpent-like attack to pass through the [Barrier of the Condemned] as though a ghost.

Shye’s heart skipped a beat.

Luckily, his [Unfazed Heart] trait allowed him to calm down and quickly activate [Stoic].

Blood then spurted and splattered the next instant, the results decided right before the dumbfounded eyes of the crowd.

Cobra’s eyes widened in horror as his weapon’s barrier was effortlessly sliced through.

The realization that even his [Stoic] skill also proved ineffective against his opponent’s attack only deepened his terror.

Unfortunately, Shye’s [Nightfall Reaper] was far too monstrous, making it impossible for the troublemaker to have any experience dealing with such a lethal attack that concealed its true danger by minimizing the killing aura it was radiating to almost an undetectable level.

As a result, the upper half of Cobra’s body slid to the ground and rolled a few meters from its lower half.

It was a rather brutal and bloody sight that instilled chilling fear in the hearts of those who looked up to him.

“C-Commander Cobra…” the Cobra elites muttered in utter disbelief.

An azure ray of light then reanimated the fallen a few meters from where he was slain, the defeated commander’s blood and simulated corpse dissolving into mana particles that scattered with the four winds.

[Congratulations! You’ve earned 3,780,762 points!]

On the other hand, despite the horrifying cutlass stab wound on the left side of his chest, Shye wore a smile.

The points he earned from the final clash alone were more than enough to upgrade the system to level five.

Now, he even had over a million points to spare.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA! Cobra!! You see? You’re nothing but a cl–”

Seira was about to rub salt in the loser’s wound.

However, before she could even finish her sentence, something happened that made Sanada and those from the Kirov and Black Dawn Units furious.

Just as the simulation formation deactivated, Cobra charged at Shye, activating his ultimate skill, [Serpent God’s Strike], once again.

The skill instantly went off cooldown after his simulated self died.

In contrast, since Shye had survived, his chest wound wouldn’t carry over to his real body—but the cooldown of his skills would.

This was one of the flaws of the simulation function hall the old man created.

“COBRA, YOU BASTARD!!” Sanada exclaimed in utter fury, immediately flying towards the attacking commander.

Unfortunately, it appeared that he wouldn’t be able to make it in time.

Shye would have to deal with the surprise attack by himself.

With sharp instincts honed through countless life-and-death experiences, Shye instantly detected Cobra’s attack.

Although the bastard had already reappeared in front of him, Shye had more than enough time to process the attack and react appropriately.

The first thing he felt was overwhelming anger.

What a sore loser!

Fortunately for Sanada, he had already deactivated the recording crystal, keeping the subsequent events hidden from the public eye.

Having already witnessed Cobra’s trump card once, Shye managed to narrowly parry the attack, redirecting it to pierce through his left shoulder.

To Cobra’s horror, his sword became lodged in Shye’s terrifyingly resilient flesh.

He couldn’t pull it out no matter how hard he tried.

Shye then activated his sword domain skill.

While it granted Cobra a decent boost in raw attributes, the bonus was nowhere near as significant as the one Shye received.

Moreover, the domain isolated the two of them, keeping even Sanada out for at least three seconds.

Realizing this, Cobra exclaimed angrily as though he was the victim:

“You bastard, what are you planning?!”
