Chapter 104 89. Dragon King's Void Shattering Punch
Of course, saying is one thing, actually doing it is another.
Dorothy tactically wanted to look down on her enemy, but in reality she didn't dare to relax at all, and no longer had the easy comfort she used to have while fighting others.
This old friend was a formidable opponent indeed.
Even though she had defeated him once in the Magic Web Duel tournament, swiftly crushing him, others saw it as Dorothy's strength completely overpowering her opponent, but she knew in her heart that she had been deceptive that time.
Long before the Magic Web tournament took place, Dorothy had already understood one thing clearly: she didn't need to care about other opponents, the only real threat to her reaching the top was one person. That was her mentor, enemy, and friend—all in one—who was known as the undefeated Magic Dragon on the field, the blood-stained Golden Princess, the domineering Mother Tyrannosaurus.
Since her sudden debut three years ago, this figure had never lost a single match in all the Magic Web Duels, powerful to an almost absurd degree.
The strength she displayed was simply not on a level that a normal Magic Web Duel player should possess. Many other players speculated that Mother Tyrannosaurus might actually be a real Armed Witch in reality, and not just any ordinary one, but rather among the very top tier, a true top player coming to blow up easy targets in the Magic Network.
As a result, she was generally unpopular; after all, even though witches naturally admired strength, nobody in the gaming world liked such malicious foul play.
Humph, talented but without morals.
Even though Mother Tyrannosaurus carefully apologized after each crushing victory, and seemed quite sincere each time, it was useless.
After all, the practice of slaughtering someone and then apologizing was all too much like crocodile tears, it was equivalent to rubbing salt into people's wounds, looking rather dubious no matter how you saw it.
Over time, very few people in the entire Magic Web Duel circle were willing to play with her anymore, and even if people unfortunately got matched with her during solo games, most would immediately commit suicide in the game; in any case, they would not give her the satisfaction.
Dorothy first met Mia under these circumstances; at that time, she herself was caught in an endless loop of being crushed, unable to win a single game.
Even though she actually couldn't beat anyone at that time, Dorothy still felt that her opponents were too weak, not strong enough, which meant her "Diligence Makes Up for Lack of Skill" talent couldn't extract much experience from these failures.
She really wanted to get out of the newbie ranks and enter the high-level games, so even if she lost, she would be able to extract more experience from the top players on the opposing side, accelerating her growth and ascent.
Unfortunately, the top players were all aloof, each one cherishing their own reputation; even if Dorothy voluntarily offered herself up, no top player was willing to crush her. After all, stomping newbies wasn't considered glorious in the gaming world.
And on that day, Dorothy was habitually harassing the top players in the preparation hall, when finally, one of the top players was touched by her persistent pleas for a crushing, and pointed towards a corner of the hall, saying,
"If you really aren't afraid of being crushed, go find her. That one is a top player who blows up easy targets, a very powerful Armed Witch in real life. She refuses no one; anyone can fight her."
Guided by the direction the top player pointed, Dorothy saw for the first time the lonely figure crouching in the corner.
Even though everyone knew that player avatars in the Magic Network were not to be trusted, Dorothy was still taken aback when she first saw this Mother Tyrannosaurus.
There was a cute little Lolita, crowned with two large curved horns, clad in shining golden scale armor, who, despite being ostracized by everyone, still held herself aloof, queen-like.
Dorothy's eyes lit up at that moment.
Yes, that's definitely a top player; after all, the higher the level the player, the more they enjoy acting young.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Thrilled, she immediately ran over to the Lolita top player to challenge her to a duel.
It's worth mentioning that Dorothy's Demon King Duel avatar looked like a King Kong Barbie, so this challenge scene looked like a dark muscular woman preparing to bully a lone little Lolita.
And to her delight, this Lolita top player really was as the rumors described, accepting challenges from anyone. She happily accepted Dorothy's challenge and then mercilessly turned Dorothy into mashed Dorothy.
But having been crushed for three years, Dorothy didn't mind much since she had her pain sensation blocked anyway. No matter how she was crushed, she wouldn't feel the pain; as long as the top player was happy, that was fine by her.
And although she was instantly defeated this time, she later found that the experience she gained from her talent was not small at all; it was equivalent to what she'd usually gain from dozens of newbie games.
Moreover, what was even more wonderful was that this Mother Tyrannosaurus, like Dorothy herself, was a Dragon Witch. The Tactics and Techniques she demonstrated should also be the secret techniques of the Dragon Kingdom. These were things Dorothy, being cast out, could not normally access.
The techniques matched perfectly with Dorothy's fighting style; she only needed to slightly tweak and optimize some details, and it was just like having a tailor-made tutorial.
This delighted Dorothy, and from then on she began a routine of seeking out the Lolita top player every day, rain or shine, for a punch-in session.
