Apolaki spotted the base flag of the Chinese National Team and smirked as he noticed that no team even dares to steal it. He has thought as much as no team would want to get on the bad side of the rank one player, but Apolaki is different or rather he does not care.

"The other players are just waiting for a chance to strike but they are hesitant because they do not want to be Hou Yiwei's target. It is a sound explanation, but the event would be very boring if that is to happen. The event needs to be unpredictable in order to be great." Apolaki muttered to himself as he clutched his kampilan.

If the Philippine National team is asked why they are not venturing with Apolaki as a team, then they would all have the same answer. They would answer with one sentence and that is 'I am not crazy enough to travel with that guy even if he is our leader!'.

The reason that they do not like traveling with Apolaki as a duo in the map is that they have a difficult time keeping up with his hyperactive playstyle. There is also the fact that he has a difficult time controlling himself whenever he is fighting another skilled player that he often times forgets that he has team members.

Apolaki does not suck at team battles, but his playstyle does not revolve around it. In fact, their team had better synergy when they just let him do as he pleases while still supporting him from a distance. They are a very unconventional team if one describes their national team.

Upon spotting the Twin Blades, Apolaki disabled the Spirit Walk skill as he cannot deal any type of damage when that skill is active. He will take twice the magic damage if he gets hit with something while under the influence of the skill. He deactivated it in fear of the sword carried by Jiang that can cut even mana.

Apolaki did not even try to stealthily approach as he showed himself to the Twin Blades. The Twin Blades are now fully healed as they have restored their mana and health in their base. The cooldown of the skills that they used are not yet recovered though.

"It seems someone is very confident my love." Jiang stated.

"Indeed, my love. He even came alone." Ye stated as they looked icily at Apolaki.

Apolaki did not bother to even retort their remarks as he charged towards their location at a moment's notice. The Twin Blades did not comment anymore as their opponent is serious in attacking them. The Twin Blades still did not look at Apolaki in equal eyes as they do not know him because he is not even that high up in the leaderboard.

Apolaki is actually at the rank 50s when it comes to level, and he is even below in the warrior category. They think that rank is a determination of one's own power because they have the rank one player on their team and even, they are in the top 10s. Needless to say that it is a mistake to do so because their opponent is not an ordinary player.

Apolaki swung his kampilan downwards and is blocked by Ye. Jiang then followed up with attack to the neck, but Apolaki reached out for his kris and poured mana onto it. Apolaki's body that is physically there vanished into smoke. The next moment, Apolaki appeared behind Ye and swung his kampilan towards her back.

"Aack!" Ye shouted as the attack is powerful and precise that she even got the bleeding status ailment.

"Is that all you two got? I am a bit disappointed." Apolaki stated as his calm and composed self is now looking like a beast has been unleashed.

Apolaki felt like he became a different person that is not the honest looking person in the entrance ceremony. Inside of the sheep is actually a wolf that is ready to bite his opponent's head off. The Twin Blades could not keep up with Apolaki's momentum that they actually struggled to synergize.

The flow of the battle is now controlled by their opponent that they cannot recover. More cuts started to form in the bodies of the Twin Blades as they are relentlessly assaulted by attacks. Apolaki's sword style is vastly superior to that of the Twin Blades.

"Do you think that the team captain is fine?" The summoner from the Philippine National Team asked the other two that were guarding their flag.

"He is fine. In fact, I am more worried about his opponents. I am still in shock that he transforms into another person during combat like he is possessed. The calm and stoic team captain that has a caring personality flip into a blood hungry monster." The mage player replied as he reminisced on the practice sessions that they did as a group.

"It is actually scary that he managed to defeat the three of us including Dupe all by himself. It feels as if he is like a warrior in the legends that have been told to us." The priest player added as all of them shuddered together upon reliving the scene on their minds.

"Be ready as many players are coming their way here. I think they want revenge for being caught in the traps. Worry about yourselves before you worry about the team captain." Dupe stated as she went to warn the three that many people are coming from the left side of the jungle.

"That guy's expression is somewhat familiar. I cannot put my finger on it, but he reminds me of someone. He looks like he is enjoying the fight like a maniac. He is definitely a battle junky, but I cannot remember who he resembles." Marlon uttered to himself as his cousin and Jade looked at him in disbelief.

Jade held Marlon's head and directed his face to look at Adrian after he said those words.

"Ah! Now I see the resemblance!" Marlon shouted as if he got an epiphany.
