Reign of the Hunters

left here severely injured, and Ol’ Six was faring no better than herself.
Despite the wounds covering its body, the Dragon remained high spirited.
It was excited to carry on the fight. 

 

Ye Ci turned Ol’ Six around and stopped midair, and her pursuer stopped as well. 

 

The sun shone bright down on Ye Ci, and the sky without wind was eerily quiet. 

 

Ol’ Six was panting for breath.
It was apparent that the Dragon was exhausted.
But the Void Dragon was even more fatigued as Ye Ci could see its entire form trembling with the heaving of its chest. 

 

A very faint smile appeared on Ye Ci’s lips. 

 

The opportunity that she had been waiting for had finally presented itself. 

 

While the Void Dragon was one of the fastest Dragons in Fate, its Stamina could not hope to match the other Dragons, for it was meant to attack its target and speed away in the shortest possible amount of time. 

 

Now this is interesting. 

 

While Ol’ Six possessed a far superior stamina, Ye Ci at her current state could not afford a war of attrition. 

 

While this seemed like a stalemate, things were of course not as they appeared to be. 

 

They were in the air.
And while Ol’ Six and the Void Dragon each had their own strengths and weaknesses, their owners were still players.
And no matter how strong an aerial steed if, a player would still fall from the sky once he or she was knocked off his or her steed.
After all, this was an aerial battle. 

 

With the Void Dragon almost at its limits, Ye Ci knew that her chances of victory lied in completely exhausting the Dragon’s stamina. 

 

And her opponent understood it as well. 

 

This was why Ye Ci’s assailant decided to stop. 

 

The player then removed his hood, and Ye Ci could finally see the class of her opponent.
She had been fighting against a Hunter all along.

 

But her face was revealed to Ye Ci, it came as a shock. What is this? Why does it feel like I’m looking into a mirror? 

 

She was a Huntress like Ye Ci.
And just like her, the Huntress had silvery hair that was tied in the same style, amber eyes, almost identical face, and even the same height.
The Huntress raised her bow and smiled tauntingly at Ye Ci, “It’s an honor to meet you at last, Gongzi You.
I’ve been looking forward to this battle.” 

 

Ye Ci was momentarily stunned, but was quick to recover, “Since you know my name, why don’t you tell me yours? I don’t like fighting against someone without a name.” 

 

It was apparent that she did not appreciate the taunt, “I’m Gongzi Yi.” she snorted. 

 

Gongzi Yi? The smile on Ye Ci’s face grew.
Her opponent was an imitation of herself.
From her appearance, her name, and her playstyle, everything Gongzi Yi did was just like Ye Ci. 

 

What is this? It’s like I’m fighting against my doppelganger? 

 

“Even your name sounds like mine too.” the smile remained on Ye Ci’s face, but the meaning behind her words was apparent. 

 

Gongzi Yi did not seem to mind what Ye Ci said, and instead admitted that it was an attempt to imitate Ye Ci, “Indeed.
You’re the one who inspired me to play this game.
Your videos were the reason why I decided to play.
And I only have one goal in Fate.” 

 

“And what is it?” Ye Ci raised an eyebrow.
She was starting to have an interest for Gongzi Yi. 

 

“To surpass you.” Gongzi Yi caressed the bow in her hand, “I know of your hostility against Golden Era, and that was why I joined them.
But I’ll have you know that I’m not interested in whatever’s going on between your guild and Golden Era.
I’m only interested in you.
I shall surpass you and be the SOLO Queen of the Eastern Continent!” 

 

And Gongzi Yi stared at Ye Ci.
The passion in her eyes were like two orbs of fire that could burn everything before them. 

 

“You can have that title if you want.
I’ve never cared about things like that.” said Ye Ci as she stared coldly at Gongzi Yi, “But if your aim is to surpass me..
You’ll have to ask my bow first.”
