Nephalem Valor

As the two bosses and their armies vanished in the white light, the audience immediately switched their screens to the game map. The first thing to appear before them was Azathoth, Elemental King, and his army.

Before him was pitch black. Xiao Yu looked around and soon discovered that the surroundings were not completely dark. In the distant Void, he could see some strange lights. These lights were not like normal light. Instead, they were in the form of particles, floating in the Void. They were intertwined and formed several light bands that looked like rivers.

He could also see many broken planets suspended in the Void, huge meteorites, and various elements presented in their most primitive forms, a chaotic and distorted scene. In this space that was almost indescribable, it was not entirely silent.

Some enormous, twisted creatures wandered slowly through the ruins left behind after the birth of the universe. Like squid in the sea, they darted among various floating objects in the air, searching for any prey they could bite.

Those must be the Ancient Creation, Xiao Yu thought. Their appearances were completely different from the Ancient Creation he had encountered before. In fact, none of the two Ancient Creation looked exactly alike. The only thing they could be considered to have in common was that they were both deformed and ugly, yet they inspired genuine horror and disgust. Having lived in this Void for millions of years, constantly devouring and evolving, and without gravity, their appearances had become incredibly ugly. Judging from their size alone, these Ancient Creation were probably no easier to deal with than the one he had encountered in the Eternal Battlefield.

Looking at the army behind him, which was also hovering in the air, Xiao Yu thought to himself that it was a good thing he hadn't planned to fight them head-on. Even if he were the ultimate boss and Ragnaros the Firelord Ancient Creation, the other bosses and the entire army combined might not be able to defeat an Ancient Creation.

At this moment, an Ancient Creation seemed to have noticed their presence and slowly drifted towards them through the Void.

However, due to the lack of air, it seems it will take some time to fly there.

Agnes (Frost Commander): "My Lord of the Elemental King, shall we prepare for battle?"

Azathoth (Elemental King): "No, your only task from now on is to survive in this world. Do not attack any enemies without authorization."

He then looked at the other elemental creatures, "The same goes for you. You will now split up and try to survive. That is your only task. Ragnaros, see that sun's remains? Hide there. I will summon you if I need you. I will deal with Naiser alone."

After saying that, Xiao Yu transformed into Chaos Dragon and flew into the Void.

His elemental army, however, scattered like clouds in the blink of an eye, vanishing into nothingness.

The actions of the Elemental King left the viewers watching the match completely bewildered.

At this very moment, the two commentators were also diligently providing their commentary.

Brother Panda: Why didn't Azathoth lead his army along? Many viewers might be wondering. Crow Mouth, did you figure that out?

Crow Mouth: How could a professional commentator like me not see this? Let me explain. Judging from many previous matches, Naiser, Lord of Purgatory, is strongest because he has an infinitely stackable [Nephalem Valor] buff. The only effect of this buff is to increase attributes, but not by much. One stack of Nephalem Valor only gives him a 1% increase to all attributes. Why is it so terrifying? Because this buff can be stacked infinitely. As long as you kill monsters, it will stack, and the stronger the monster, the more it will increase. So if the Elemental King brings an army, these armies will not only be useless, but will also become nourishment for Naiser. So it's better for him to go and fight alone. Azathoth must have watched Naiser's matches before. A professional player like him would definitely think of this. So it has to be said that the Elemental King is very clever.

Brother Panda: That's right. Speaking of which, this map is really disadvantageous for Naiser. In previous maps, there were plenty of monsters to kill, allowing him to accumulate buffs at will. Nephalem are already very strong, and stacking hundreds of buffs would be invincible. But the monsters on this map are so monstrous; it takes half a day to kill just one. It will be difficult for Naiser to stack up his buffs. Let's switch the scene and see what he chooses.

The scene switched to Naiser's side.

Then, the audience in front of the screen was completely stunned.

[Banana Falls Short: Holy crap, that's awesome.]

[Scholarly Spirit: "You can do that? Naiser is absolutely insane!"]

[Simba's Dad: Azathoth is going to miscalculate this time.]

Brother Panda: I didn't expect Naiser to come up with such a way to stack buffs. His decisiveness is truly admirable. By the way, what are the odds for the match now?

The Crow Mouth: Naiser's odds are 1.9 to 1, Azathoth's are 2 to 1. Overall, they're about even. To be honest, I was more optimistic about the Elemental King before, but now I think Naiser has a higher chance of winning.

Brother Panda: That's right, I think so too. I just wonder how the two players view their own odds.

At this very moment, Xiao Yu, the person in the topic of conversation, was soaring into the sky. He had naturally been familiar with the odds, and not only that, he had also bet all his savings on it. However, he did not bet on himself to win, but instead bet all his savings, a total of two million, on Naiser to win.

This was a last resort. If he had won this time, things would have been much better; he would have earned at least ten million, and possibly as much as thirty million. Two million wouldn't have mattered much then, and if he lost, so be it.

But what if he loses the match? Then at least he can make a profit of 1.8 million from the 2 million bet, so he won't have fought for nothing.

Xiao Yu was unaware of what was happening outside; he was currently flying towards Naiser.

Despite the vast distance between them, for some reason, he seemed to be able to sense Naiser's location, as if it were a subtle connection between two arch-enemies.

He was indeed very confident about this match. As long as Naiser's [Nephalem Valor] couldn't be stacked up, he wasn't afraid of him, and even had a significant advantage.

So Xiao Yu increased his speed even more. Finally, a figure appeared in Xiao Yu's sight, and then Xiao Yu was suddenly shocked. At this moment, Naiser was fighting against a giant lobster-like Ancient Creation. Judging from the situation, he even had the upper hand. The Ancient Creation's shell was riddled with wounds, one of its huge claws had been severed, and it looked like it wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer. Although it still had a lot of health, it was very likely to be Execute. Around Naiser, there were countless demon corpses scattered around, including his two demon lords, who were already dead. Xiao Yu was now uneasy. What was going on?

Even if the Ancient Creation was powerful, it couldn't have killed all of Naiser's demons so quickly, right? Moreover, this Ancient Creation seemed to be a relatively weak one, and judging from the state of the demon corpses, they were clearly killed by swords. Furthermore, the buffs on Naiser's body had already stacked up to several hundred layers.

At that moment, Xiao Yu understood.

(Holy crap, did this guy kill all his own minions to stack buffs? That's incredibly ruthless.)

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Naiser's combat power is already sufficient to Execute some weaker Ancient Creation. We can't let him continue fighting; if he stacks up a few hundred more layers, then we'll truly have no hope left.

Thinking of this, he rushed forward.

At that moment, Naiser finally swung his greatsword, severing the neck that connected the Ancient Creation to its massive head.

A golden light flashed around him, and [Nephalem Valor] stacked to 345 layers.
