Hu Die Lan
Chapter 570 Brother, Slow Down
Just as the four stone statues were about to strike 5T, they suddenly turned around together, rushing towards another target: the Invincible Most Handsome, who fancied himself the MT.
At that moment, no one had the time to care about this guy's self-importance; everyone knew what was most important.
"Quick, DPS!" Both Seven Blossom Leaves, who they saw as an MT, and the team leader, Happy Sheep, were shouting together.
The DPS players dared not neglect, and at this crucial moment, they didn't care about controlling aggro, mana, or cooldowns; they just used the skills with the highest attack power they had.
The road was instantly enveloped in the light and shadow effects of various skill attacks, but the four figures within moved like arrows. The stone statues had very strong resistance, so many control-type skills were ineffective against them. At this moment, everyone was just thinking about exhausting the last bit of their lives.
Boom!
Finally, one stone statue crumbled into pieces of stone and crashed to the ground. Immediately afterward, the second and third followed suit, shattered into pieces smaller than paving cobblestones.
Only the fourth stone statue remained!
Because the DPS on both sides wasn't equal, the rate at which their lives were depleted wasn't the same. This fourth stone statue still had some life left, and it continued to charge towards Invincible Most Handsome.
However, the crisis had passed; just one stone statue wasn't a big deal. Invincible Most Handsome had single-handedly tanked a stone statue before, and it didn't seem to be a problem. Seven Blossom Leaves had originally wanted to use Provocation again to make this stone statue run in circles, but he realized it wasn't necessary and rushed up to help.
As a result, the massive barrage of skills instantly swallowed the fourth stone statue and Invincible Most Handsome, who was fighting it.
Seven Blossom Leaves was stunned.
Although Invincible Most Handsome had damage immunity, so this wouldn't hurt him, the problem was that such attacks greatly affected the MT's vision and judgment. Usually, people would deliberately avoid this. But considering that it was already the end of the battle, there was no need to be so careful, and Seven Blossom Leaves didn't say anything after thinking about it.
The kind Seven Blossom Leaves never imagined that this wave of attacks represented resentment! Although the attacks couldn't kill Invincible Most Handsome, it felt good to vent on him, right?
Bang!
There was another sound, and everyone saw a lump of something fly out of the dazzling light and shadow, crash to the ground, and shatter into pieces. As the skill's light and shadow faded, the fourth stone statue no longer had a head on its shoulders. It swayed twice and crashed to the ground.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the crisis could be said to have passed when the first three stone statues fell, the moment of true relief only came when everything was over.
Everyone put their pounding hearts back into their chests and glared at Invincible Most Handsome.
Of course, the glares came from the real people sitting in front of their computers; it couldn't be felt in the game. What could be seen in the game was that all the characters' perspectives were aimed at Invincible Most Handsome, which was quite a sight.
"Comrades, you've worked hard." Invincible Most Handsome turned around and waved to the players, an action done through his character.
"Damn!" everyone shouted.
"Continue forward!" Invincible Most Handsome pointed his sword forward and was about to rush out.
When Happy Sheep saw that everyone's view was starting to focus on him, he knew that if he didn't step forward and say something, he would lose face as the guild leader. So he hurriedly chased after him, calling out, "Brother, wait a moment."
"Huh? Are you calling me?" Invincible Most Handsome glanced behind him without stopping.
"Yes, yes, calling you, don't go up yet," Happy Sheep called out.
"Oh?" Invincible Most Handsome stopped, seeing that no one else was moving and that their perspectives were all pointed towards him.
"Could it be that you're going back on your word and not going left anymore?" Invincible Most Handsome asked.
"No," Happy Sheep said quickly. "It's like this, brother, slow down. Don't open four stone statues at once; the pressure is a bit too much."
"Wasn't it going smoothly?" Invincible Most Handsome said.
Happy Sheep was immediately stuck. Looking at it, it was indeed thrilling but without danger. But the process made their hearts beat fast. If they didn't achieve the ideal crowd control, and several knights had to tank the four stone statues separately, then the pressure on the healers would be immense. An MT was like a god with healing, but without healing, he was a melon. If the MT became a melon, then the whole team became a melon patch, ripe for the picking. So, Happy Sheep felt that killing four stone statues at once like that was too risky; in fact, the entire team felt that way.
"What if we accidentally lose control of one of them? Wouldn't that be terrible?" Happy Sheep said.
"I'm here!" Invincible Most Handsome said.
That's why there are so many problems with you here! Happy Sheep thought with tears in his eyes, but then someone else interjected, "You? Can you control it all by yourself?"
"I'll lay the groundwork, and everything will become simple," Invincible Most Handsome said.
Those with poor skill didn't understand what he meant, but Seven Blossom Leaves immediately understood and came over to say, "Arcing Charge to gather monsters, are you very confident in that, brother?"
"Piece of cake," Invincible Most Handsome said.
There were boos all around, but Seven Blossom Leaves sincerely said, "I admire you."
"Practice more, and you can do it too," Invincible Most Handsome encouraged Seven Blossom Leaves. The booing grew louder. Seven Blossom Leaves was a good guy! He was naturally well-liked in the team, the kind of person you might not like, but you could never hate. Seeing Invincible Most Handsome acting like he was giving pointers, many people felt indignant for Seven Blossom Leaves and were about to speak up when they heard Seven Blossom Leaves say, "I can't do it. I've practiced for a long time, but I still can't master it."
"Well... there's no way around it. There's no skill to it; it all depends on experience and awareness to judge, and in the end, it's basically relying on intuition. If you're a data enthusiast and still calculating, it's too late," Invincible Most Handsome said.
"Yes, yes, that's how it is," Seven Blossom Leaves repeatedly agreed.
Everyone was stunned to see Seven Blossom Leaves acting like he'd finally found someone who understood him. Happy Sheep still wanted to tell Invincible Most Handsome to follow their usual tactics, but then he saw this guy leading their guild's honest Seven Blossom Leaves farther and farther away; farther and farther away; and after a while, he brought four stone statues back...
"Damn!" everyone shouted, but the two knights were already bringing the stone statues close to their formation.
"These four stone statues are Battle Mages, different from the four Swordsmen just now. This is the most troublesome part of mastering Arcing Charge, because you always have to adjust based on the different targets. Actually, the current situation is relatively simple. If you have targets with vastly different attributes, then you probably won't be able to catch them all in one Arcing Charge. At this time, you have to make a good judgment. If you use it, you must make sure not to leave any openings. Once you have an opening, if you encounter an expert and they hit you in the middle, it will interrupt you, and all your efforts will be in vain," Invincible Most Lonely chattered on as he ran back.
"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right," Seven Blossom Leaves said, looking deeply moved.
Everyone was speechless at this point. What else could they say? The monsters were already here; just prepare and go! But then they suddenly heard Invincible Most Handsome shout, "Crap!"
"What's wrong?" Seven Blossom Leaves asked.
"I forgot about the skill cooldown! Knight's Spirit isn't ready yet!" Invincible Most Handsome shouted.
"Oh no!" Seven Blossom Leaves immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. Without Knight's Spirit, Charge was just the ordinary version, and only Brave Charge could achieve the same monster-gathering effect as before. The whole team was stunned and tearful when they heard this. Were they going to be wiped out?
"The critical moment has arrived, comrades!" Invincible Most Handsome shouted.
"It's all your fault!!!" everyone responded in unison.
"It's my fault, I forgot to wait for the skill CD," Seven Blossom Leaves began his usual self-criticism.
"Everyone pull one first!" Invincible Most Handsome shouted to the knights.
"The healers won't be able to keep up!" Happy Sheep shouted anxiously.
"Just hold on for a while!"
"It's easy to OT that way..." Happy Sheep was depressed! Usually, several healers took care of one MT. It wasn't necessarily that several healers had to work together to take care of the MT. It also included aggro control skills. Faced with the Boss's super high damage, if only one or two healers were frantically healing, then it was guaranteed that the aggro generated by the healer's healing would OT.
To put it simply, it was like a DPS suddenly dealing damage equivalent to the Boss's attack power. With such high damage, the overflowing aggro would definitely OT.
Although the algorithms for aggro generated by healing and DPS are different, the principle is the same. When the Boss's attack is strong and the damage is high, the healers have to do more healing to recover such damage, and the aggro generated is naturally greater. At this time, if there are more healers, everyone can share the pressure, and the aggro will be distributed to everyone. If one healer has to bear it all, not to mention whether they can keep the health up, even if they do, they will definitely OT. If the healer dies, the MT is a melon, and if the MT is a melon, the whole team is a melon... So, this is called a team.
"Don't worry, just hold on for a while, and my CD will be ready! Everyone pay attention to your positions when pulling the monsters, so it's convenient for me to Charge later," Invincible Most Handsome shouted.
"Why don't you just not go up?" Happy Sheep saw that Invincible Most Handsome was also going up to pull one and shouted quickly.
"What?"
"With your equipment, if you get hit... I think you'll really OT immediately," Happy Sheep said.
"Then just don't let them hit me, and it'll be fine, right?" Invincible Most Handsome said with a smile, turned around, and split a stone statue with his sword. The four stone statue classes this time were Battle Mages, wielding stone spears. The one that Invincible Most Handsome hit immediately turned around and used Dragon Tooth. Invincible Most Handsome seemed to have expected it, pulled his body to the side, and smashed his shield at the stone statue.
