……
It was a pure offensive team with two warriors and three archers. We hadn’t paid this party any attention since the beginning of the tournament, and it looked like our second seed was about to run into some serious opposition.
”You must win this!”
I gave them the do-or-die order before they entered the battle room.
Gui Guzi looked back at me and replied, ”That depends on Ling Xueshang. If she gives us face then…”
”Anyway, do your best…”
It wasn’t long before both parties appeared on the tournament ring. Despite one party having full melee classes and the other having three archers and two warriors, both parties shared the same win condition: to do as much damage as possible and kill the enemy first before they were killed. The level gap wasn’t so big that one party was clearly superior to the other party either. In short, this was going to be a bloody battle.
”It’s starting!”
He Yi clutched her collar as she stared at the screen nervously, revealing the pale neck beneath her beautiful hair. She was so gorgeous that even the most unconscious gesture was pleasing to the eye.
I looked up and watched the battle as well. On the screen, Ling Xueshang coolly ordered her two warriors to hold back the incoming tide while the three archers including herself dished out everything they got. This alone wouldn’t be surprising considering their party composition, but the fact that they were all using Multi Arrow, a fan-shaped AoE skill was!
”Multi Arrow…” I muttered. It was a Level 100 archer skill that even Beiming Xue didn’t have yet. Just where on earth did The Monarch Descends grind three identical skill books for their archers? This Ling Xueshang is seriously no joke!
High Fighting Spirits ignored the arrows coming his way and slid in between the two warriors. Then, he growled, ”Xiezhi Howl!”
A cyclone of energy engulfed the two enemy warriors and deleted their HP rapidly. At the same time, Gui Guzi used his Aurora Thrust, and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun used his Rock Smash. Just one round of combined AoE skills later, both warriors collapsed to the ground and died!
However, the situation was actually not in favor of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls Second Seed at all. Multi Arrow was a triple-hit skill, and every hit dealt around 1500 HP or so. Caught inside the range of the skill, Xu Yang, High Fighting Spirits and Chaos Moon died in just five seconds!
Both the audience and the players were stunned by what they saw. Was this what people called a fight to the death? It hadn’t even been ten seconds since the match began, and both parties had lost half their players already. Just what kind of battle was this?
Gui Guzi and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun split up and attacked an archer each. Gui Guzi especially was a first-rate player with a Spirit-grade shield, so he was able to make good progress toward his chosen archer.
Unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said for Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun. Ling Xueshang proved herself to be a player with great combat experience, and she easily killed the magic knight before setting her sights on Gui Guzi!
Chiang chiang chiang!
The arrows were knocked away the second they hit the Titan Barrier. To the enemies’ surprise, their shots only dealt 300 or so damage to Gui Guzi per hit. With over 2000 Defense, he was way tankier than Ling Xueshang expected.
Swhoosh!
Gui Guzi’s spear cut the air and threatened to skewer Ling Xueshang where she stood. However, the archer fired an arrow with a frosty arrowhead at his chest and withdrew swiftly like a butterfly before his spear could touch her. The magic knight couldn’t catch up to her at all.
”Keep shooting him while I slow him down!”
Smiling, Ling Xueshang drew her bowstring and fired an arrow with a dark arrowhead this time. The second it hit his shield, his armor immediately started corroding like it was being eaten by some sort of acid!
The combat log was displayed at the bottom corner of the screen—
Combat Log: Player ”Ling Xueshang” used “Cursed Arrow” and reduced player ”Gui Guzi”’s Defense by 40% for 15 seconds!
……
Fuck!
I slowly sank back into my seat. I knew that the battle was lost, be it in terms of skill or tactics!
Gui Guzi wasn’t one to give up, and he tried again and again to kill the archers tormenting him from a distance. Unfortunately, he was constantly slowed by Ling Xueshang’s Freezing Arrows and worn down by the other two archers’ Devil Piercing Arrows and Explosive Arrows. Despite having almost 15000 HP, it wasn’t good enough to survive the onslaught!
Thud!
4783!
That damage was a Devil Piercing Arrow from Ling Xueshang. The girl was both smart and powerful.
Gui Guzi collapsed to the ground and died just like that.
