A Loss is a Victory
As I continued to breeze past barrier to barrier with the exact same move, I noticed Xiang Tian's speed visibly slow down as he reached the later ones which were thicker and harder to break.
I looked ahead of me. There were only two barriers left I had to break, and currently, I was tied with Xiang Tian in terms of progress.
I held up my hand and broke the second-last barrier in an instant with my poison cloud, which was supposed to be the weakest damage-per-second attack in my arsenal. Walking up to the final barrier standing between me and defeat disguised as victory, I narrowed my eyes.
I have to do something… what can I do… oh, wait.
I raised up my hand, then purposely cast a different spell than what was intended.
