Better jump, at least there may be a chance! After some internal struggle, Lee Sung Hwa finally made a decision. Gritting his teeth, the priest jumped into the ice hole like a martyr sacrificing his life selflessly.
“I’ll be damned, wasn’t it crowded enough?” The already overcrowded small space was once again occupied, and Jung Joon Young was about to go berserk.
“Stop complaining, let’s clean up the place!” Song Won Ki still had a trace of reason left. Seeing that their blood volume had at least improved to some extent, he was focused on the final struggle until he accidentally looked back and almost lost it too.
It was no wonder that the members of the UG team were on the verge of a nervous breakdown. In such a chaotic and tense atmosphere, if you turn around and find that there is also an assassin from the enemy behind you, what kind of feeling would you have?
“What?! Did you jump too?” Shen Changyu also noticed this scene and for a moment, his tone almost rose but his rationality prevailed, and the second half of the sentence softened.
“Oh, I just want to end it sooner.” Chen Anqi replied as if it was self-evident.
“…” Shen Changyu actually wanted her to take it easy. He glanced at You Jing, who had already moved the priest to the rear, efficiently stabilizing the assassin‘s blood. In the end, he took a deep breath and said, “Be careful.”
If he could have heard the ghost-like wailings on the UG team’s voice chat at this moment, he would have realized that his worries were completely groundless.
“Ahhhhh, this assassin is so damn fierce!”
“Pay attention to the front! Another wave of summoned beasts is coming! Ignore her, clear the beasts first!”
“What are you saying? That maniac is chasing me, trying to chop me! She is insane!”
“Blood level! Watch my blood level! I’m going to die!”
“Stop screaming, I also want to…”
As Lee Sung Hwa’s words came to an abrupt end, the priest‘s vision darkened, and the first kill in the small team match was officially announced.
After making the first victim, Chen Anqi looked around with a slight smirk, and the assassin turned to the next prey without a pause.
Overflowing blooming blood filled the entire frame, gradually converging into a deep emotion in the hearts of all the spectators – it really was, too damn brutal!
Thanks to Chen Anqi’s crushing harvest, the Black Rose team once again won the small team competition.
As the game ended, the current score was displayed on the big screen: 4:1!
This big lead made Black Rose fans welcome the triumphant return of the three players with great enthusiasm.
“Vice Captain Shen, you worked hard!” Lin Xiao patted him on the shoulder, speaking rather emotionally and with a double entendre.
“No, it wasn’t hard.” Shen Changyu replied very honestly.
“It’s hard, really hard work, and you need to continue to work hard in the future as well!” Lin Xiao glanced at Chen Anqi who was passing by, with a look on his face as if he had a long way to go.
“…” Shen Changyu seemed to have finally understood.
Before the team match, there was a short recess, and although the UG team was a little disappointed by their temporary loss, it didn’t affect their morale too much, and they actively devoted themselves to the subsequent discussion and consolidation of tactics.
On the other hand, at the Black Rose team, everyone was taking a nap with their eyes closed, and there was no sign of tension.
The arrogance! You think you’re so great?! You will definitely pay the price for your arrogant attitude! Fans of the UG team cursed with indignation.
Soon, the rest time ended, and when the game was about to begin, the director displayed the lineups of both teams on the big screen.
On the UG team’s side were Han Zongren, Song Won Ki, and Jung Joon Young’s gunners, Song Haochu’s magic swordsman, and Lee Sung Hwa’s priest. This lineup continued the UG team’s usual long-distance firepower mode because the long-distance and high-damage bombing output of the three gunners gave their opponents a hard time.
As for the Black Rose team, when the list appeared, everyone was a little dumbfounded: Lin Xiao’s ghost priest, Liu Zeshen’s paladin, Shen Changyu’s summoner, and You Jing and Zou Qiguan’s priests.
A team match with two priests? Has the Black Rose team gone crazy trying to avoid the substantial damage from the opponent’s intense output?!
Many people now predicted that this match was about to develop into a tug-of-war, and recalling the scenes of Lin Xiao during his individual match with the MTG team’s Kang Minjoon, they couldn’t hide their pained expressions.
Some people were already cursing impatiently because of this, but when the selection map ended and players finished refreshing at the spawning point, the outfits of all the players were broadcast, and everyone quieted down in an instant.
You Jing’s outfit choice…
As if sensing the crowd’s inner consternation, the director adjusted the camera from the equipment interface to the additional point of the third skill, and the arena exploded after a moment of silence.
Combat Shepherd!
The so-called Combat Shepherd referred to the fact that it allowed priest players to give up the healing characteristics during the game and perform the transformation into an offensive profession. This choice allowed the priest to deal enough damage while giving up some of his professional characteristics for the convenience of the game.
Although this kind of choice was not common, it did exist in many online games. However, anyone who knew something, knew that this choice was equivalent to giving up the profession itself. The priest profession required a comprehensive understanding, and when changing it, compared to other professions of the same level, there was actually a great disadvantage.
This kind of special profession choice originally existed only to facilitate the completion of daily tasks. But now, in this crucial team competition, it was actually chosen by the players of the Black Rose team, allowing everyone to watch this Combat Shepherd on the battlefield of an international competition.
Because it was so shocking, although the players from both sides had already started marching, not many people paid attention to them. Everyone’s eyes fell on the two figures dressed in white from the Black Rose team.
“According to training, Switch, you follow them. Captain You, follow me.” Lin Xiao’s eyes were firmly locked on the screen, talking on the voice chat as he maneuvered the ghost priest toward the top of the map. Then he started to detour with You Jing’s priest trailing behind him.
With this, the team of five people divided into two groups. Shen Changyu, Liu Zeshen, and Zou Qiguan were still walking forward toward the center of the map. The three of them had a strong enough defense. Even if they collided head-on, as long as they didn’t fight too hard, they could survive the opponent’s fierce offensive for a while.
However, from the first-person perspective, the audience could see that the members of the UG team did not march forward, but also chose to detour to the top of the map. The travel speed caused the distance between them and Lin Xiao to begin to get closer and closer.
Keep taking detours and playing tactics. This time, you’re out of luck! Compared to the extremely anxious fans of the Black Rose team, the UG supporters seemed very happy.
Finally, amid much anticipation, the figures of the UG players appeared in Lin Xiao’s line of sight. At the same time, the other side obviously saw him too.
Immediately, gunfire rang out.
The three gunners raised their guns, firing at the same time, and the roar of the gunfire suddenly resounded throughout the wild forest.
Faced with the opponent’s sudden shooting, Lin Xiao resolutely jumped back, out of the range of the bullets. After this jump, he had no intention to retreat. Instead, he chanted a skill, and sporadic sparks spread among the UG characters. Fire ignited in an instant, causing their formation to scatter.
Chase after him! Hurry up, kill him! The fans of the UG team shouted frantically.
However, the members of the UG team did not choose to continue the pursuit. Instead, they raised their guns and continued to tentatively shoot from a distance, as if to test.
“Be careful, he is trying to lure us into an ambush!” Captain Han Zongren said on the team’s voice chat.
At this moment, a Minor Healing spell landed lightly on Lin Xiao’s ghost priest, slightly raising his blood level.
Minor Healing was the skill with the lowest special effects among the priest skills, and its healing value was not very high, so it was often overlooked. Seeing this, everyone in the UG team became more certain that it must be an ambush planned by the opponent.
“…”
The audience who saw everything was almost crying in anger. Ambush? What bloody ambush?! Behind this guy is just a Combat Shepherd who doesn’t have much healing power at all, okay?! As long as you charge ahead, victory will be yours at any moment!
Of course, these urgings did not reach the ears of the UG team members. At this moment, they raised their weapons and fired a few times, careful not to play into any traps of the ghost priest, who was posing and jumping up and down in front of them.
Compared with the calmness of the UG team, the voice chat of the Black Rose team was full of Lin Xiao’s howling: “Quick, quick, coordinates (491, 25)! Come quickly! Hurry up and come for support! If they come up here, we’re both screwed! Come on!”
“We’re coming! Hold on!” Shen Changyu and Liu Ze Shen, followed by Zou Qiguan’s priest, decisively engaged the Ghost Sprint and ran wildly on the map.
