Legendary Broken Player - VRMMORPG

Chapter 776: Chapter 776 - Fast and Deadly

Leon stepped onto the stage, greeted by the roaring cheers of the audience. It was clear—today's crowd was even larger than the day before. 

And yet, they all knew the match would likely end in seconds.

Then again, it made sense.

Each batch of matches featured multiple fights in rotation, and as the tournament progressed, more top-tier players were stepping into the arena. Naturally, that drew in even more fans eager to watch their favorites compete.

At the opposite end of the stage, his opponent ascended as well.

The host, as energetic as ever, took center stage and immediately hyped up the moment, his voice booming across the arena.

And just like that, the brief pre-match interview began.@@novelbin@@

Leon's least favorite part of the event.

Because, at this stage, every answer players gave fell into one of two categories—either they sounded overconfident, or they downplayed their opponent.

Was there really no other way to respond?

Well, at the very least, this was one of the few moments where Leon could afford to act a little arrogant—without actually looking too arrogant. Because, after all, everyone else was doing the same thing.

Stormbreaker was the first to respond when the host handed him the mic.

"I'm confident this will be an easy win. No doubt about it." His voice was steady, almost dismissive. "No need to talk—let's just settle this in the game."

He smirked slightly before continuing.

"Will my opponent rely on massive AOE magic? A strong single-target skill? Or maybe refined melee techniques?" He let the question hang for a moment. "Doesn't matter. I can handle them all."

The crowd erupted in cheers, fueling the already intense energy in the stadium.

And this… was exactly what Freya had warned Leon about earlier.

His opponent this time wasn't someone he could take lightly.

From what he had gathered, Stormbreaker's blessing was, he had a 100% critical hit rate. Which meant every attack he landed was guaranteed to be lethal.

A true Pride Champion blessing—completely overpowered.

On top of that, his class made him a nightmare to deal with. It was heavily influenced by the Shadow Element, granting him not only devastating attack power but also exceptional evasive abilities.

That was what made him so dangerous—he wasn't just about brute force, but also hard to hit.

Even worse?

According to Freya, Stormbreaker had a solution for every type of combat—whether it was melee or ranged.

Which meant Leon couldn't just fly into the air and bombard him with arrows like he usually did.

Stormbreaker was prepared for that too.

Leon took the mic and responded calmly.

"This will be a valuable experience for me. I just hope I don't lose too quickly."

The host chuckled.

"Oh wow, that's a surprisingly humble response from Broken!"

With the pre-match interviews over, both Leon and Stormbreaker stepped toward their capsule devices.

As they prepared to enter, the betting odds flashed across the big screen—47 to 53 in favor of Stormbreaker.

It wasn't surprising. Stormbreaker's popularity was overwhelming.

Compared to him, Broken was still a rising name—someone who had only recently gained attention.

Meanwhile, players like Stormbreaker had already built their reputation over time, making him the clearer favorite in the eyes of the audience.

Over at the casters' desk, Brando was joined by Paul, both ready to break down the upcoming match between two of the most talked-about players in the tournament.

"Paul, this is going to be really exciting," Brando began, his enthusiasm evident. "We all know that Stormbreaker is no ordinary player. He has devastating attacks, his technique is top-tier, and his class makes him a nearly unstoppable fighter. Some even say he can go toe-to-toe with Frostedge in a one-on-one battle."

He then shifted gears.

"On the other hand, we have Broken—a player with an insane amount of force behind him. His summons, his versatility, and his overpowered skills make him a force to be reckoned with. So, who do you think has the upper hand?"

Paul took a moment to consider the question before responding.

"Well, I want to say Broken has a shot at winning here. But if we really break it down, his abilities are better suited for large-scale battles where he can take on multiple enemies at once. And in terms of close combat? That's a major advantage for Stormbreaker, who specializes in melee combat."

Brando nodded but countered, "But what about Broken's bow? Can't he just fight safely from the air? And let's not forget—he has the Golden Paragon."

Paul leaned forward, his expression thoughtful.

"We know that Stormbreaker has an ability that allows him to control wind, which lets him soar to higher altitudes. So unless Broken can outrun him in the air, he won't be safe."

He then added, "As for the Golden Paragon… we still don't fully understand how that skill works, but I'd bet it has a limited activation time. If Stormbreaker can survive long enough for Broken to burn through his strongest skills, he'll have a perfect opening to strike back and secure the win."

"That's an interesting analysis. I'm sure everyone is eager to see how this unfolds," Brando responded.

At that moment, the crowd's attention shifted to the big screen, where the two players were now standing face-to-face, ready for battle.

The countdown ticked down toward zero, and Broken immediately prepared himself.

He equipped his upgraded version of Invincible Paragon and drew his spear, ready to test just how strong his opponent was before deciding on a proper strategy to counter him.

He couldn't afford to recklessly use Golden Paragon.

That avatar had strict limitations, and if Broken couldn't maintain it long enough to defeat his opponent before it expired, he would be left at a major disadvantage.

On top of that, Golden Paragon came with a 48-hour cooldown—which meant using it without careful planning could cost him future matches in the tournament.

With more battles ahead, he needed to be strategic.

Broken steadied himself as Stormbreaker confidently gripped his sword.

A dark aura wrapped around Stormbreaker's body, a clear sign that he had activated his Shadow Element abilities.

A melee fighter with shadow-based skills and insane speed.

No—this was worse. 

He fought like an assassin, but even deadlier. Because every single attack he landed was a 100% critical hit.

If this guy's sword had low crit rate but high base damage, then this was going to be a nightmare to deal with.

Stormbreaker rushed forward, his movement sharp and precise, closing the distance in an instant.

Broken tightened his grip on his spear, already having activated all his protective skills.

Time to test just how deadly this guy really was. Hopefully, he wouldn't be disappointed—a proper fight like this would actually be fun for once.

The moment Stormbreaker reached him, he swung his sword in a clean, calculated arc.

Broken reacted swiftly, blocking with his spear.

[Spear Guard (Conditional Passive Skill) Lv. 6 Activated]

Immediately, Stormbreaker was knocked backward, thrown off by his own attack.

Not bad.

But within a split second, he recovered.

Then, he vanished—no, not vanished. He moved too fast for the eye to follow.

Before Broken could fully track him, Stormbreaker circled around and launched a blindingly fast slash from behind.

Damn!

Broken felt it.

This guy was fast and deadly.
