SLASH! Once again, the Dark Knight’s bck bde cut through William. However, despite the grave damage from the hit, he wasn’t fazed by this development.

  Alright, we're getting there. William threw a g his surroundings while ter-attag the Dark Knight. As before, some of his damage got reflected back at him, but it was just a fra, nothing to worry about.

  pared to the damage from his attacks, the reflected damage doesn't matter much. William reasoned. Five reflected hits deal about as much damage as a single basic attack, so this won’t matter much for such a short fight.

  As such, it was more optimal for him to terattack at every opportunity. The damage William received from Nightmare was a nonfactor, but the damage he dealt to Memer added up. This accumuted damage was going to py a key part in defusing the DK.

  We're almost there. Just one more round. William's pn was finally about to pay off. But for now, he had to tinue dang with his oppo, leading his dance partner by the nose. Unbeknown to Memer, this whole stretched-out tango wasn’t just about wasting the DK’s precious time.

  That'd be a viable tacti its ht, but it’d also waste my time. It's not worth it.

  William didn't e here to waste his time. The goal here was to either make Memer flee with his tail between his legs or to sy that cocky DK if he stays. And, since Memer chose to stay and fight, it meant the guy chose death.

  It’s time. The enemy was right where William wanted him to be. I knew you’ll try to rush things at some point, and doing that blinded your surroundings. But, I don’t bme you. This has happeo many, many of my oppos. It’s not just you.

  Perhaps, uher circumstances, Memer would have noticed what was going on. The guy had adequate deaking, so he should’ve been able to see through William’s ploy.

  As, in this critical situation, Memer didn’t have the luxury to slow down and analyze things properly. He must’ve felt like he “didn’t have time” to do so.

  That's exactly what I was hoping for. William nodded in satisfay read was on point.

  At first ghis entire py might have seemed ludicrous. William had so many disadvantages in this fight, so it was only logical to avoid it.

  But, we have to make sure we crush them properly this time. William asserted. I won’t let anybody think that we’re afraid of some DK memer.

  The previous game was an embarrassment for the Leopards. They were done in by meme and hyper-aggressive p, both of which should have been easy enough to ter. It was shameful, really.

  So, this time, we'll be the oo destroy them thhly. William decred. As always, Cato is being Cato, so he's probably satisfied with just winning this round, even if we do it slowly as he likes it. But, I say we have to CRUSH them to send a message.

  And, in this position, it was very possible to do. Without realizing it, Memer stepped in so deep into the juhat his back was now fag a wall. This was exactly where William wanted his prey.

  Now, it's my turn. William activated Unstoppable Raid, summoning a brigade of savage warriors.

  The vicious pack of pirates surrouhe Dark Knight from all sides, except for his rear. So, the most logical course of a was to retreat backward. But...

  "Crap!" Luke excimed. "I'm stuck!"

  He only realized the fact wheurned around. There was a huge ass wall t over him! There was nowhere for him to go!

  W-When did I even end up here!? Luke gritted his teeth. I've been duped!

  The whole time, Luke was sure he had the advantage here, but it turned out that Winner pyed him like a fiddle! The dude was slowly cooking up some nasty pn all along!

  B-But, no biggie. Luke smiled nervously. First, let’s roll outta here real quick.

  It was impossible to properly unleash Dark Bst from this position, not with all these pirates ganging up on him from all sides.

  I 't hit all of them at once from here. Besides, ideally, I want the bst to hit that scumbag, too.

  With all these siderations in mind, Luke went for a Dodge Roll. And, to be on the safe side, he rolled toward the allied side of the jungle, right past the vikings blog his left fnk. This made him an easy target for these sdrels’ attacks, but he had to eat that damage in exge fetting a ce to slip away.

  At this point, it was getting kinda unclear who was gonna win the whole thing. So, Luke made sure to roll as deep as possible into the allied side of the juo secure the safest position possible.

  But, irospect, that might have been a mistake. It was the most predictable move in this situation, and Winner read right through it!

  While Luke was rolling, Winner already waited for him at the destination. And, what was this bastard going to do ? It’s elementary, Watson.

  "Craaaap!" Luke found himself flying backward, right to where he came from. That wrestler-waackled his ass and flung him at the wall!

  Once again, Luke found himself surrounded by a mob of vikings. And, these dudes were sure happy to see him back. They gave him a warm wele, ohat involved lots of cl!

  This ain't good! My HP! It fell down to 40% after all the ret exges, and also because of Nightmare. ht! I better turn off that thing!

  The damage refle and the extra bit of powerup weren’t gonna help much against this angry mob. So, it was best to minimize losses by turning off that HP-drainiure.

  Dang, just a moment ago I was winning this shit! Luke ranted internally. But now, I'm only thinking about how to not get any more screwed than I already am! Maybe I should have listeo Yuel, after all…

  It turned out that Winner was really a savage duel monster, just not iraditional sense. Dude didn’t have any insane meical skills that could terrify oppos, he wasn’t like Lars.

  Instead, Winner had top-notch deaking that plemented his solid execution. This dude had 200 IQ schemes and the necessary skill to pull them off, even right uhe oppo’s nose!

  Unlike Lars’s raw overwhelming meical skill, it was much harder to appreciate the full extent of Winner’s skill just by watg a video. That’s why Luke failed tister Winner as a real top-tier threat until now.

  I mean, even if I watched the current situation from the side, I’d probably not think much of it. At best, I’d be like “Man, that DK is sure a dumbo. How did he fall for that obvious shit?”

  Luke had to experiehe situation in the flesh in order to realize just how absurdly talented Winner was. Like, the guy probably had everything pnned out even before he showed up here, that’s how fwless his execution seemed.

  So, what the heck do I even do in this situation!? Luke gritted his teeth. He was stuck between a rod a hard pore specifically, between a wall and a bloodthirsty mob of vikings. And, he didn’t even have access to his Dodge Roll anymore, so esg was straight-up impossible!

  So, was that the end? Was the DK’s entire career about to end here? It sure seemed that way. He had no ce of winning this fight by himself, and there wasn’t anybody who could possibly rescue him here… or was there!?
