Guild Wars

779 Defense Of The Ancients 1

Draco was amazed by his current status. He could feel his bloodline and his Control, but he didn't have them active. Rather, he felt more in tune with the game and the floor itself. His current stats were at 100 points each because that was what he had at the pinnacle of Rank 3.

With curiosity, he looked behind himself and saw that the area where the fountain was glowing with pleasant light. The Ent he saw frowned and walked over to him and his group the next moment.

"Heroes of the Sentinel, please lead our troops against those vile villains of the Scourge. If you need anything, you can come to me for equipment or items that are to be purchased using gold from the Sentinel." The Ent spoke with a solemn tone.

It then bowed graciously. "I'm the Prime Ent, leader of the Ent race and Quartermaster for the Sentinel. You may have many questions after being summoned here by us, but I am here to answer them all before the sun rises."

Draco shared a look with his compatriots and shook his head. "Thanks, but we have no questions. Rather, I would like to check the items available."

"As you wish."

Draco saw a screen pop up before him that listed hundreds of different items and equipment in different rows. He was surprised to see that the list did not have any of the equipment he had become overly familiar with back in the day, though the one's listed were... quite peculiar to say the least.

As far as he could see all of them appear to have been modeled after what Draco had in his Inventory!

For example, in the category of healing itmes there was the Angel's Kiss Vial which restored 115 HP over 16 seconds, with 3 charges, the Goddess Kiss Salve that restored 400 HP over 10 seconds, and the almighty Eva's Fluid that restored 2,500 HP and 1,000 MP instantly.

... it might be for the best to not ask Draco why he had that last one.

In the category of equipment there was the Dragorugio set, the Fragarach Divine Blade, the Dragorugio sword (Single) and Dragorugio sword (Dual) among others.

However, Draco could only let out a sigh when he saw the prices.

He checked and saw that he only had 600 gold at the moment, so he wisely spent it on a courier and then upgraded it to flying courier for 450 gold in total, and used the last 150 to buy both a Angel Kiss Vial and a single Excalibur blade which raised Agility by 10 points.

After Qiong Qi and co began checking their items and buying what they needed, the quartermaster suddenly interrupted them with a solemn bellow.

"The sun is about to rise! Our first wave of troops is about to hwad out! Heroes, rush to your positions!"

Draco casually walked over to the mid lane. Clarent and Qiong Qi snickered and went to the top lane while Medusa and Zhulong hurried to the bottom lane tower. Draco laughed and listened as a loud crowing was heard.

Then, the world seemed to flash on itself as everything began anew, this time with 3 Ent Warriors and 1 Wood Elf suddenly spawning on each lane and solemnly rushing forward without even looking at anything else. Draco observed them idly while following behind them lazily.

When he checked their stats, he was shocked.

Bruh.

Draco almost fainted. He took a deep breath and continued moving forward, reaching the outermost tower in no time. Soon, he saw the enemy hero that he was facing, as well as their creeps.

Draco's eyes became cold. He took a deep breath and analyzed the opponents troops before analyzing the opponent himself.

It seemed that the troops had about the same power as the ones on his side, which made it balanced. Now to see if the opposing hero had stats like he did, which would decide how he would play this floor.

"Hahaha, you didn't expect to see me again, did you Draco you fucking bastard?!" Ao Shangtian laughed wantonly as he glared at Draco with a crazed look.

"Hm? Where is my future cumdumspter Eva? Is she not here to witness her beloved daddy smash her ex-cuckfriend to pieces?" Shangtian paused as he looked around idly.

Draco was silent as he simply glared at Shangtian, ignoring the creeps who had begun fighting. He then breathed out lightly and shook his head.

"... this Tower is really courting fucking death." He muttered.

With that, he approached the creep that was about to die on the enemy's side and swung his blade for the last hit.

"Oh no you don't!" Shangtian roared as he blasted forward with shocking speed that was impossible for his stats and smashed the creep to death, denying the other. Draco coldly swung his sword and denied his own creep before Shangtian could capitalize.

"Tch, whatever. Forget about getting a single last hit while I am here, Clownboy." Shangtian growled ashe moved back.

"Likewise." Draco responded calmly, even though his eyes flashed.

He was sharp enough to tell that Shangtian had unleashed his bloodline at that moment. It seemed that in order to forcefully balance the power between himself and Shangtian, the Tower Spirit had abstained from placing any shackles on Shangtian.

So even though he had the stats of an average Strength hero, he could still easily measure up to the current Draco. In fact, Shangtian was likely not even aware that he could probably beat Draco to death using his bloodline.

A mere 100 points in every stat was not enough to match Pangu's inheritor unless Shangtian was also constrained in someway. Whatever the case, Draco was partially amused and partially annoyed.

'This Tower seems to be severely handicapped in terms of logic. I'm only ever going to get closer and closer to the top, so why continue to antagonize me? By now, it would be in its own interest to start throwing flowers at my feet and thinking up every possible way to win my favor.'

Draco sighed internally. It seemed his protagonist aura had affected the Tower Spirit, causing it to make decisions on the level of low-level villains despite being a semi-sentient entity that was supposed to be intelligent.

Whatever the case, he and Shangtian began to fight in the mid lane , though not directly. Rather, it became a competition between who could deny the opponent faster as well as who could squeeze out a last hit quicker.

Draco was not bothered by this, though Shangtian's patience began to wear thin the more he lost out. He did not have the capacity to be losing so much potential experience and gold, but he knew it would remain this way until he reached level 6, at which point he unlocked his ultimate allowing him to gank another lane.

Soon, he and Draco reached level 2. They both had upgraded stats and damage, as well as invested a skill point into one of their chosen skills. Draco chose Draconic Regenration while Shangtian chose Golem Summoning,

Duration: None

Draco's passive skill that was adopted from his class was just as broken in this Battle Arena as it was in the main plane. Even if the Tower tried to be smart, it couldn't find a correct way to nerf this ability within the framework it set up for the floor.

As such, it could only bite the bullet and allow this to exist.

As for Shangtian, his growth was less impressive on paper.

ï½¢Name: Golem Summoning - Level 1

Type: Active

Cost: 30 MP

Description: Summon a random elemental golem possessing one of the four base elements of fire, water, earth or wind which has a base HP of 200, MP of 20 and a fixed ranged damage of 20 points.

Duration: 2 minutes

Cooldown: 5 minutes.ï½£

Unlike Draco who chose to passively increase his ability, Shangtian chose direct power. He wished to harass and suppress Draco by all means necessary, so he quickly paid the MP cost and spawned the golem, which turned out to be a fire element one.

Shangtian sneered and directly commanded it to fire at Draco whenever he came close to deny or try to get the last hit in order to put pressure on him as well as slowly reduce his HP until Shangtian reached level 6 and got his ultimate.

Usually, matches like these were decided by who could get the first kill in the mid lane. It wasn't a 100% thing, but whichever side got first kill usually got the win in the end unless the other team had a majority of heroes who became late game terrors.

Draco though, did not react to Shangtian at all. Whenever the fire attack hit him, he simply shrugged it off and continued to do his thing. In fact, at a point, Draco leaned back a bit to lure the fire golem over, and then rushed it.

Swinging his blade rapidly thanks to his high attack speed, he only really needed about 2 hits to destroy the golem. He earned a wave of exp and gold from that, which made Shangtian furious. Without even calculating the odds and ends, he rushed at Draco with his body glowing in brown light, roaring.

"Die bastard!"

Draco's eyes flashed as he retreated from there and threw a middle finger. "I heard you have a very cute little sister in the real world. After I destroy your Lineage, I am going to dedicate 30 years of my life to brutally breed her and rebuild your clan with my offspring, hahaha!"

After saying this much, Shangtian's rage reached a boiling point. He directly entered madness and saw red, chasing after Draco without a care for anything. In his mind, killing Draco - regardless of if and when he died - was merit!

Draco dragged Shangtian back to his tower and then duked it out with him directly. With Draco's insanely high damage, Shangtian would have needed only 3 or 4 hits to become ground beef on the floor. However, his body was glowing with the brown energy of his Pangu bloodline, meaning that his Undying King Inheritance was active.

With that senseless power that granted him almost infinite regeneration on the level of the merc with a mouth, he was far from the brink of death despite his low HP. The only way to win was to drain him of his bloodline energy in a direct fight, so Draco needed to persevere.

This was exactly why he had chosen to level Draconic Regeneration. Even with his Primal God Inheritance which boosted Shangtian's physical power to Superman levels, he was unable to one shot Draco because of his high HP, high armor and careful fighting.

200 HP recovered per second regardless of the situation was more than enough to keep him afloat, and he could do this all day.

However, the moment Shangtian ran out of Bloodline Energy, he would kiss the dirt.
