1095 Victory
However, just because they had fought to a draw, it didn’t mean that Liu Yan couldn’t do anything to Anton Mellon.

It was just that Liu Yan deliberately did not use any more methods and only employed skills from the Assassin Domain. This was why the battle ended in a draw.

Now, after their exchanges, they remained at a standstill. Liu Yan didn’t want to continue like this.

After all, if this continued, no one knew when the victor would be decided.

Especially after his fight with Anton Mellon, Liu Yan’s understanding of assassins had improved somewhat.

From Anton Mellon, Liu Yan had learned a lot. There was no need to waste any more time.

Liu Yan once again approached the invisible Anton Mellon.

Through their previous encounter, Liu Yan also noticed that even though Anton Mellon couldn’t perceive his position when the distance between them was close enough, Anton Mellon could still sense his presence.

Therefore, when Liu Yan approached Anton Mellon and attacked, it meant that he could sense Liu Yan’s movements, making Liu Yan’s assassination attempts less effective.

However, this time, Liu Yan did not plan to rely solely on Assassin’s skills, so he had no worries.

Liu Yan immediately unleashed the SS-grade skill, Spirit Devour!

An invisible force surged towards Anton Mellon, causing him to temporarily lose consciousness.

Anton Mellon, who had lost consciousness, suddenly reappeared in the place.

Initially, Anton Mellon had noticed Liu Yan’s approach and planned to counterattack the moment Liu Yan got close. However, Liu Yan’s mental attack made him lose consciousness temporarily.

At this point, Anton Mellon couldn’t take any action, not even counterattack. His stealth state had also been dispelled.

Liu Yan effortlessly reached Anton Mellon’s side and placed a dagger at his neck, then lifted the effect of the SS-grade skill, Spirit Devour.

It was only at this moment that Anton Mellon slowly regained consciousness. He felt the coldness against his neck and suddenly realized that he had lost.

“What… What kind of method is this?” Anton Mellon asked in amazement.

He had never encountered such a terrifying technique before.

Although Anton Mellon had encountered spiritual attacks before, he had never experienced one as powerful and overwhelming as this.

There was still a process for the spiritual attacks that he had encountered before. Anton Mellon could still resist it with his spiritual energy.

However, this time, what Liu Yan unleashed could hardly be called a mere spiritual attack, it felt more like a direct assault on the very essence of his soul.

Liu Yan gave Anton Mellon no time to react or defend himself. He was instantly robbed of consciousness.

Even without Liu Yan actively lifting the effect, Anton Mellon was unable to regain his awareness!

This was the first time Anton Mellon had witnessed such a terrifying and domineering spiritual assault.

Even if Anton Mellon were on high alert now, he believed that if they were to fight again, he would be utterly defenseless.

In other words, no matter how many times he fought Liu Yan, the outcome would not change. He would still lose. After all, he was unable to resist Liu Yan’s attack.

In response to Anton Mellon’s question, Liu Yan sported a mysterious smile, offering no explanations but simply stating, “Admit your defeat. It’s over.”

Although Anton Mellon harbored reluctance, he had no choice but to concede.

As Anton Mellon opted for surrender, he was promptly transported out of the arena by the Will of Tower.

Simultaneously, the voice of the Will of Tower resounded.

[Team Origin emerges victorious in this match. Rewards are being randomly determined!]

[Randomization successful: Congratulations on receiving a group bonus! All members gain +3000 Agility!]

[All the players of Team Elf have been defeated. The Team Origin has won the territory battle!]

[The rewards for all small events will be doubled. Additional rewards: Group reward, all members will receive a random A-grade skill!]

Following the Will of Tower announcement, Liu Yan was also transported down from the arena.
The expressions of the members of Team Elf turned sour.

They had initially believed this was a guaranteed win, given their substantial advantage. It was a seven-player battle against Liu Yan alone.

However, they hadn’t foreseen that Liu Yan would not only systematically defeat the other six members but also emerge victorious in the showdown against their formidable captain, Anton Mellon.

After a full round of battles, the members of Team Elf soon realized that the other side was composed mainly of newcomers.

Except for Lu Dajiang and a few others, the rest were novices. While they possessed exceptional talents, their strengths hadn’t yet reached their full potential. After all, they had only recently arrived at the Wind Barrier on the sixth level of the tower, and their abilities still couldn’t rival those of the veterans who had been honing their skills there for two to three years.

But what they never expected was that a wildcard existed among these newcomers, Liu Yan, who was scheduled to fight last.

Despite being a newcomer, his prowess far exceeded that of the seasoned players.

Remarkably, he managed to emerge victorious even when pitted against the Team Elf’s most powerful member, Anton Mellon.

It could be asserted that in this territorial battle, Team Elf held an immense advantage, but it was Liu Yan alone who orchestrated the stunning reversal.

Liu Yan’s contributions completely altered the course of events!

Now, the members of Team Elf were grappling with the bitter taste of defeat.

How was it possible that they had suffered a loss, especially considering their once-enormous lead?

Their opponents were seemingly mere newcomers, with untapped potential, yet they displayed such extraordinary might.

“How did this happen? How could we lose like this?”

“I did my best. I already took care of two Team Origin players by myself.”

“It’s all because of this Liu Yan. He’s too abnormal.”

“Who is this Liu Yan, anyway? He’s a newcomer, so how can he be so powerful?”

“Liu Yan is intentionally hiding his strength. When he was dealing with us, he was using his Bow and Arrow.”

“It’s a shame we missed by just a bit. If only the captain had won in the end.”

“We were close. I saw the captain and Liu Yan fight for quite a while, and in the end, they only lost by a little bit.”

At this moment, Anton Mellon, who had returned after his loss, listened to the discussion among his skilled subordinates. His expression was rather grim.

To onlookers, the recent battle between Anton Mellon and Liu Yan might have seemed intense, especially considering its duration.

However, Anton Mellon knew very well that he was no match for Liu Yan at all.

The battle had taken so long because it was evident that Liu Yan had intentionally refrained from using his full power initially, perhaps to engage in more of a sparring match.

If Anton Mellon were to face Liu Yan’s final move again, he felt he would still lose ten times, as he couldn’t find a way to counter it.

In essence, Anton Mellon believed that, with his current level of strength, he couldn’t overcome such a devastating technique.
