As the familiar figure finally appeared.
Everyone expected to see a hint of panic on that cold, stern face.
Yet...
They were all disappointed.
The classless rogue seemed to have truly lost all emotion. No matter what situation he faced, he remained cold and calm.
It gave off the impression that even if the sky were falling, his heart would not waver in the slightest.
"Keep pretending! Just keep pretending!"
"Let's see if you can maintain that cold calm when I have you under my foot!"
Norton sneered.
The advantage is mine now!
40 people plus 40 contracted beasts against a classless rogue with no teammates or contracted beasts!
You tell me, how can I possibly lose this?
Norton wasn't the only one who thought this way.
Even the audience began to worry.
"This looks bad! Norton might actually pull it off!"
"Damn! So it's come down to using numbers to bully him?"
"It's tough now... With the support buffs, Norton's power has surged far beyond what it was. He's not afraid of that rogue anymore..."
"..."
The audience's concerns weren't unfounded.
Having support versus not having support makes a world of difference.
Anyone who's played a game knows how much of a boost support classes can provide to a team or individual's power.
Put it this way...
Before, Ling Zhan's sniper could, with 'Critical Strike' and 'Sure Hit,' instantly end Norton's life if it hit his head.
But now, that wouldn't work.
With powerful support buffs combined with the demonic bloodline's monstrous vitality, even if Norton's head was blown off, he could regenerate in less than half a second.
In short...
Your damage can no longer keep up with his healing.
And it's not just healing.
His defense, magic resistance, abnormal resistance, and all other stats...
Have increased tenfold or more.
Looking at it this way.
The lone classless rogue seems trapped with no hope of victory.
He truly appears to be in a dire situation.
In the VIP section, Deans Zhou Hongfu and Liu Huanran also had heavy expressions.
Meanwhile, Norton's mentor, Luke Harvey, finally raised his eyebrows with satisfaction.
"Haha! It seems our Free Federation is still the superior one!"
Other powerhouses exchanged glances and sighed.
The saying 'two fists can't beat four hands' seemed to be proven true in this key moment.
"Hmph! Let's hope there's a twist, or someone's going to celebrate too early!"
Dean Zhou Hongfu snorted coldly.
"Haha! Mr. Zhou, I'd love to see a twist!"
"But unfortunately, your Dragon Kingdom's chances of a comeback are close to zero!"
"Even if that rogue has an SS-level skill like 'Judgment of the Gods,' so what? It's only a single-target skill!"
"Even if you kill Norton, he'll still revive!"
Luke laughed heartily.
He had been holding in his frustration for a long time.
Since Norton was humiliated in the individual competition, he had been seething.
The Free Federation was always the one bullying Dragon Kingdom, but now the tables had turned!
Naturally, he couldn't tolerate it!
So...
The Free Federation's high-level powerhouses had even held emergency meetings to discuss strategies specifically for dealing with this classless rogue.
And it wasn't just the Free Federation.
Other powerful nations also began to develop plans and tactics against the rogue.
Unbeknownst to Ling Zhan...
So many people were plotting against him!
In fact, when other nations saw that the Free Federation was drawn to face Dragon Kingdom, they were delighted.
Because no matter who won, one of the top contenders would be eliminated!
And...
They were likely to see both teams reveal their trump cards in this battle!
Sure enough...
The Free Federation had already been forced to show one of theirs.
The altar forged by the sacrifice of ten demons was one of those cards.
Now.
Everyone watched to see how the classless rogue would respond to this predicament!
...
...
Inside the special realm.
"Charge! Crush him!"
Norton had already impatiently sounded the charge!
Boom!!
As the ground caved in, sixteen demons and all the contracted beasts charged alongside Norton, launching a fearless and ferocious assault on the rogue!
Among the sixteen demons, half were frontline fighters, and the other half were melee damage dealers.
As they charged forward, the sixteen demons and their contracted beasts spread out in a wide formation like a flock of geese, preparing for the kill!
Powerful buff spells from the healing and cleansing demons rained down on every charging demon at the perfect moment!
To make things worse...
Norton expanded his personal Chaos Domain!
Buzz!!
All of his charging teammates were empowered by the Chaos Force, becoming even stronger!
Although only seventeen demons and dozens of contracted beasts were charging...
The terrifying momentum and energy waves they generated were as mighty as a thousand-strong army!
"The rogue has no choice but to retreat!"
"It seems he knows he can't withstand their direct charge..."
The moment the charge began.
Ling Zhan lightly tapped his toe and gracefully retreated.
Before he retreated...
A black and gold dragon-patterned anti-tank sniper rifle had already materialized in his hands.
Click!!
As this beast-slaying weapon was loaded.
Snap!!
All the charging contracted beasts suddenly froze, terror washing over their faces as fear gripped them!
"Damn it..."
"Keep charging! Chase down this damned rat!"
Seeing that only his Blackflame Sacred Dragon remained unshaken while the other contracted beasts had stopped in their tracks, Norton's face twisted in anger.
But he still didn't call off the charge.
He wanted to hunt this rogue down like a rat in front of the entire audience!
But when he turned his gaze back to the front...
No one noticed, but Ling Zhan's eyes, equipped with long-range targeting, had contracted like a high-speed camera adjusting its focus, locking onto the demon at the front of the charge!
Click!!
The trigger was pulled!
Bang!!
A gunshot rang out.
It was the same familiar thunderous roar Norton knew all too well!
The muzzle of the sniper rifle flashed with a brilliant spark!
A bullet, 14.5x114mm in size and wrapped in spiraling energy, howled toward Norton's face!
