War Grounds 68 Stealth Vs. Stealth, Arrows Vs. Arrows

"Silent Forest." It was then that Osho dropped the name of the technique that allowed the Demon Samurai to finish the battle against the orc and dwarf quickly, and scale the elevated bleachers with ease.

"Oh? As expected of a fellow, Samurai." Battousai suddenly bowed with ridicule as he amusingly acknowledged Osho's observation.

"It's a forbidden technique that has been banned by the Teachers of the Way. Why are you still using it?" Behind the yellow tengu mask, Osho's dark and solemn brown eyes could be seen.

"We do not honor the way. Stop imposing your cage upon us! Who's next?!" Battousai's playful tone suddenly became sharp as he snapped.

Unexpectedly, Osho did not reply further.

"It will be us." Macca finally stood up as he placed his right hand on SwitchFoot's shoulder.

"Come. Let's finish this quickly." Battousai returned his pair of katanas to their respective 'saya' that were crossly hung on his back before executing a back dive - free-falling to the pit.

"d.a.m.n. He looks so cool." Macca chuckled as he pulled the Savage a.s.sa.s.sin to stand up. "Hey, Harvy! Let's try that thing, dude? Want to risk it?" The white goblin's grin seemed to be scheming as he winked towards the humanoid black horse - SwitchFoot.

SwitchFood simply nodded as he stood up. Meanwhile, the figures of Papa Bear and CancerIsLife appeared on the bleachers; they've finally resurrected. In the same way, the HPs of the two demon samurais were back in full as they waited for their next opponents to come down.

Papa Bear and CancerIsLife's faces could not be described.

"You're not healing me properly, Dwarf," Papa Bear spoke as he grumbled.

"How dare you! You utterly failed to defend me," CancerIsLife bickered as the two of them entered into a series of arguments.

"Hey, wait!" Osho stopped Macca and SwitchFoot from descending the stone stairs that appeared out of nowhere.

"These two are no ordinary experts. They are commonly known as 'Ronins' in real life. Be careful and be mindful of the vibrations on the ground once they started to disappear." Osho warned.

"Aye. Thanks for that, Teacher Osho. Leave them to us. I'll avenge the two of them!" Macca winked as he continued towards the flight of stairs.

"Are you really sure that you have defeated these two?" Osho returned to his seat as he disturbed the contemplating Al.

"They won't ask for a rematch if I have not defeated them, right? Plus, I've got SARS, dude." Al reminded. "However, now that you have pointed out their technique and nature, I'm starting to think that they were not yet at their 100% when we last fought. We'll see."

Dreaming Blade & Battousai VS. SwitchFoot & Macca.

Match begin!

As soon as the Savage a.s.sa.s.sin and Goblin Ranger found their footing on the arena, the two demon samurais no longer greeted them politely as they disappeared in a blur.

"SwitchFoot! Let's try that!" Macca immediately whistled as the humanoid horse instantly entered his beast form, transforming into a black stallion at the former's signal.

"Hop in." SwitchFoot urgently ordered.

"Aye!" Macca hopped on SwitchFoot.

Stealth!

Macca came up with this theory when he previously saw Papa Bear riding SwitchFoot. However, he was not able to find the time to test the idea as he wondered if the buff skills of any of the two would work on each other.

Fortunately, it did.

Macca successfully entered into a stealth mode, benefitting from the a.s.sa.s.sin's skill.

"Nice!' Al praised from above. It was indeed a wise move to stop the momentum of the disappearing samurais.

Dreaming Blade and Battousai's figures suddenly emerged from the shadows as their targets went missing. However, there was no trace of panic nor tension in their bodies as they surveyed their surroundings.

If one's eyes could not lead, the ears shall take the throne!

Amidst the eerie silence, Battousai and Dreaming Blade suddenly pounded the cobblestones with their katanas, continuously producing some vibrations.

"d.a.m.n! They're really cunning!" Os...o...b..t his lips.

Tsurugi!

Tsurugi!

Dreaming Blade and Battousai simultaneously activated the same skill as they targeted an open s.p.a.ce. They've already located the invisible duo, who did not actually move from their original location.

The two Demon Samurais have deduced their enemies' position upon noticing that they were no distortions in the sound waves.

'They've found us?' Macca was caught surprise. "Dodge!" The white goblin immediately gave the orders.

Blue Heart Puncture!

As if their next movement was already expected, Battousai released another skill, cutting off the nearest escape path with a blue beam.

Hit!

Macca was dismounted from SwitchFoot as the blue light punctured the former's frail right arm. Unfortunately, the bonus stealth buff was also negated, revealing his figure.

The two Tsurugis did not hit, but it did not matter as Dreaming Blade started to disappear again.

"Not good! They've been outwitted!" Osho commented.

"Yup! There's no better set-up than to fight with all they've got now. No more playing dirty!" Al added.

One With the Wind!

Out in the open, Macca activated his buff skill that increased his dodge rate as gales of wind surrounded his character's body. The skill was just in time to block the slices that appeared from all directions.

Unfortunately, it was only an 80% chance of dodge rate as the other slices connected.

Battousai was the only target available as Dreaming Blade's figure could not be locked, due to its constant blurry movements.

Macca has to create an opening for SwitchFoot in the next five seconds!

Three Corners!

Magic Arrow!

Fortunately, One With the Wind prevented its user from being crowd-controlled. Macca's HP decreased, but his position was steady; three blue-tip arrows appeared in his new bow - Arachnid's Bolt!

Battousai was just about to move after readjusting his stance from using the Blue Heart Puncture when he was suddenly stomped to the ground by SwitchFoot, who had finally unveiled himself from stealth.

Horse Power!

A back attack from SwitchFoot that resulted in a critical hit!

Swoos.h.!.+

Three blue-tip arrows from Macca also coordinated with the black stallion. However, two of them were immediately cut down by Dreaming Blade.

Nevertheless, Macca still wore a grin as One With The Wind finally ended. He was now in a vulnerable spot, but the same thing could be said to Battousai, who was. .h.i.t by the surviving Magic Arrow.

The white goblin was not able to fully charge the arrows, but the short stun duration allowed SwitchFoot to return back to his humanoid form; the pair of daggers with black coils as a handle in his hands glowed in red.

Double-Edged Blade!

It was the a.s.sa.s.sin's equivalent for the Samurai's Reverse Harakiri. Trading one's life for damage.

'Not good!' Dreaming Blade did not expect the a.s.sa.s.sin to leave the goblin behind and head straight for Battousai. As a consequence, he was forced to reveal his body as a bamboo bow appeared in his hands.

Yabusame!

Yumi!

A black sword light replaced the normal-looking arrow in the bow's string.

Swoos.h.!.+

Meanwhile, three arrows powered by yellow orb materialized in Macca's bow.

Power Arrow!

SwitchFoot was the first to drop as a black sword light pierced his chest before he could fully drain Battousai's life. Fortunately, Macca was quick to fire as he cleaned the remaining HP of the Demon Samurai that was previously pinned by the Savage a.s.sa.s.sin.

Without any drama, Dreaming Blade and Macca's bow immediately faced each other after the death of their allies.

The stealth versus stealth was already over. It was now the time for the battle of arrows.
