Chapter 116 – Perfect Cooperation

“Praying Ghost? Lin Xiao actually used Praying Ghost in this game!” The members of the Apocalypse team hadn’t yet come into direct contact with Adorable Ghost, so naturally they had no way to make a judgment on Lin Xiao’s outfit, but Mao Dou had already noticed the difference in skill setup allocation and blurted out subconsciously, feeling a bit uneasy.

Lin Xiao had initially attracted everyone’s attention playing as a Curse Ghost. Then, playing as a Blood Ghost the match with Wen Shuqing had undoubtedly put him on a pedestal. And now, in this crucial game, he was actually playing Praying Ghost again?

This player, Lin Xiao, was just too unpredictable!

After Mao Dou’s reminder, from professional to ordinary players, those who noticed this felt powerless to comment while also unable to contain their astonishment deep down inside.

One should know that the ghost priest‘s three factions could basically be operated as three completely different professions. Professional players have always been known for their mastery of their chosen profession. Can one person play three roles without any problems?

Of course, this was not the focus now. What the Apocalypse team needed to worry about right now was how much trouble Lin Xiao’s Adorable Ghost would bring to their strategy. If Curse Ghost was good at controlling the field, and Blood Ghost was good at attacking, then with Prayer Ghost, who was mainly an assisting and protecting class, coupled with Liu Zeshen’s paladin and You Jing’s priest, the Black Rose team’s lineup in the finals could be called an impenetrable fortress!

This tactic was really vicious… Just imagining encountering such a lineup made professional players from various teams shudder involuntarily. Better not to try it.

[Map] Adorable Ghost: I say, this is your fault. How can you target our team’s priest, Captain You? He is recognized as the strongest priest in the League. If he really gets killed by you guys like this, we would be so embarrassed!

Looking at the dialogue text popping up on the map channel, the audience fell silent again.

This seemingly provocative sentence made it clear on the one hand that the Apocalypse team’s strategy was indeed to kill Dazzling View as the first goal.
On the other hand, it was a show-off that such tactics had been seen through by them long ago, right?

“Damn it, he’s too arrogant! Hurry up and kill him!” Some fans of the Apocalypse team exploded.

Yan Duzhou had long been accustomed to Lin Xiao’s calculations and was not affected at all. However, at this moment, he also noticed that Adorable Ghost‘s equipment was different from before and quickly made arrangements: “Qiu Zhiyuan, Luo Wei, switch to Shen Changyu; Song Lan, don’t worry about Liu Zeshen, continue focusing on Yu Jing; Xing Shihan be ready for support.”

“Yes!” A neat and unified answer resounded in the Apocalypse team voice channel.

The next second, everyone rushed forward.

Seeing the opponent’s intense assault, Lin Xiao glanced at the Dazzling View and called out, “Captain Yu, quickly come over here.”

“Okay.” Without questioning, Yu Jing activated Ghost Sprint, and with a slight maneuver, he avoided Rising Shadow Sword‘s piercing attack and swiftly moved into Adorable Ghost‘s skill range.

Such a conversation may not have been noticed by others, but for Shen Changyu, who had just experienced a visual shock, it sounded like marital harmony. Suddenly, his hand slipped, and Seasonal Rain moved abruptly, directly colliding with Dimensional Hunter‘s sword.

“Vice Captain Shen, be careful!” Xu Yiming shouted.

“I know…” Looking at the sudden drop in the blood bar, Shen Changyu felt a bit of pain. He absolutely couldn’t afford to be distracted anymore!

Forcing himself to calm down, he saw that Dimensional Hunter had entered stealth mode again. He quickly assessed the surrounding terrain and continued his actions.

As the summoner Seasonal Rain chanted, several bulging mounds suddenly appeared on the uneven loess, spreading outward. Then, a large group of rat-shaped summoned beasts emerged from the ground and scattered in all directions.

The beasts’ seemingly unorganized jumps made Luo Wei want to cry because the stealth of the demon hunter would reveal itself when attacking or being attacked, and these rather cute-looking rat beasts’ charges clearly belonged to the latter.

One or two would be fine, but with such a large area covered, after skillfully avoiding several of them using agile footwork, Luo Wei was finally hit by one that suddenly rushed over from the side and became visible!

“Gotcha!” Xu Yiming, who had been on standby for a long time, was well prepared. He was overjoyed at the sight and a barrage of artillery fire roared in the hands of the gunman, pursuing Dimensional Hunter, and suddenly there was flying sand everywhere.

Under such a crazy barrage of fire, Luo Wei lost a lot of his blood in an instant. Without waiting for the next wave of bombings to arrive, he advanced instead of retreating and aimed at Cry for Blood, who was squatting on the roof. He turned to the side and selected the right angle to shoot an arrow. The opponent was directly knocked off the broken house’s roof: “Get him!”

Qiu Zhiyuan reacted even before he spoke, and the fierce warrior, Beauty is Back, activated all the special effects in full force, directly slamming Cry for Blood into the house with a violent impact.

This shack had no windows; the only way out was through the door. The burly figure of the fierce warrior blocked the only escape route, forcing Cry for Blood toward the wall without any way out.

Immediately, Xu Yiming’s desperate cry for help was heard: “They’re going to kill me! Hurry up and save me!”

Lin Xiao was also under attack. He took a moment to glance at the situation there and gave a command: “Liu Zeshen, go ahead, we can handle it here.”

Facing Yan Duzhou and Song Lan, the best damage-inflicting experts in the League, and Xing Shihan, a priest known as the strongest support class, he can still say, “We can handle it.” It seemed a bit arrogant. But now Xu Yiming’s situation was indeed a bit tight. Liu Zeshen didn’t have time to think too much and could only operate Choose A Tree To Live In to turn and quickly go for support.

“Oh, yo, two against three, so exciting!” While operating Adorable Ghost to make some tactical maneuvers, he was keeping an eye on the positions of the three people chasing after him. He happened to catch a glimpse of a light flashing on Rising Shadow Sword‘s long sword, showing its rapid approach under the acceleration buff bestowed by Cold Wind.

“Get ready!”

“I know.” You Jing glanced at the sword light rising behind him, and after casually putting on a shield to reduce damage, he immediately activated the Holy Domain Prayer, which also came with a skill that restored blood within a range.

The effect of the range healing skill was not high, and it consumed a lot of energy. Many people in the field found this operation somewhat incomprehensible. However, suddenly, a cluster of black-purple flames rose from Dazzling View‘s body, enveloping him in a strange skull-shaped aura.

At this moment, Rising Shadow Sword‘s long sword was already close, and a few rays of blood suddenly appeared on Dazzling View‘s body. However, there was no blood loss as expected. On the contrary, Adorable Ghost‘s health bar dropped slightly, but due to the continuous health-recovering circle, it returned to a normal state in a moment.

“Perfect cooperation!” Xu Qingli couldn’t help but praise.

The ghost priest‘s skill, Soul Conversion, absorbs the damage for their allies and reduces it by 20%. Adding the 30% damage reduction from Dazzling View, the total damage reduction effect is as high as 50%. As a result, Song Lan’s powerful combo seemed to have no effect at all.

Due to the lack of any health recovery skills, the Prayer Ghost class was rarely included in team lineups as a pure support role. This was also why it was almost impossible to see it in the League matches. However, no one could ignore its strong protective abilities toward teammates.

After a flurry of attacks, Song Lan did not retreat but charged forward even more bravely. At the same time, Yan Duzhou’s staff emitted a bright light as he launched his attack alongside the shadow swordsman without a single pause.

Will it hit?

The atmosphere in the field was suddenly energized. Sand and rocks were flying amidst the bombardment. As the image in the camera gradually became clear, it was revealed that behind the chaotic scene, there was a small figure wearing a red cloak, holding a staff half-raised in front of him. A black barrier enveloped him, once again blocking off a large amount of damage.

Not far behind him, a priest dressed in white robes appeared out of place in such a chaotic scene. The pure white light surrounding him resembled that of a holy angel, and his perfectly executed healing skills fell upon Adorable Ghost‘s body. The blood volume of the two people was tightly locked, and it was difficult to detect any signs of fluctuations in the blood value.

The two men stood one behind the other – one tall and one short figure. Their clothes fluttered in the wind, giving an inexplicable illusion of being unable to break through.

“The situation is getting difficult for the Apocalypse team…” Mao Dou glanced at the intense battle on one side, then looked at the current stalemate on the other side, feeling complex emotions.

The fans of the Apocalypse in the arena also fell into a moment of silence. Although they were unwilling to admit it, even a layman could see that their team was in a passive position in the current situation. Not to mention that being outnumbered two to three didn’t give them much of an advantage on the other side, but even with three to two here, clearly having the upper hand, why couldn’t they gain any advantage? There was a deep sense of frustration.

In many people’s minds, an idea involuntarily started to emerge – Could it be that the dynasty was really going to change again?
