Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1454 Battle of Nuance
The battle had already begun, and the audience with God's perspective could see it clearly. But at this moment, viewing it from the players' perspective would be even more shocking.
Because in the first-person view of the two players, apart from a patch of mist and a few large trees nearby, there was nothing.
Yu Wenzhou's attack was made without being able to see the opponent's character at all. He relied solely on the position exposed by Lord Grim's gunfire earlier, yet the result was so precise.
The Six-Star Light Prison fell, and the shield's protection wasn't omnipotent. The effect of the Six-Star Light Prison couldn't be resisted by a shield.
However, hand seals!
In the zoomed-in shot, everyone could clearly see that Lord Grim suddenly released the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, and his hands quickly formed seals. Before the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella could even fall, the seals were completed.
For levels below 20, there was only one ninjutsu skill that required hand seals.
Shadow Clone Technique!
Was there enough time?
Everyone held their breath, but the Shadow Clone Technique was finally cast at the instant before the Six-Star Light Prison made contact.
Lord Grim was trapped by the Six-Star Light Prison, but it was ultimately just a shadow clone.
"Did he notice?" Pan Lin shouted.
"No, he definitely couldn't have seen or heard it... This should be Ye Xiu's experience and judgment," Li Yibo said. "Did you notice? If Lord Grim hadn't crouched down, this Shadow Clone Technique might have been just a little short."
Pan Lin suddenly understood, and the broadcast immediately cut to a slow-motion replay. The light pillar of the Six-Star Light Prison and Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella were indeed only millimeters apart. Lord Grim's Shadow Clone Technique was released at that instant, but if he had been standing, there was no doubt that the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella would have been touched by the light pillar.
"As expected of the textbook!" Pan Lin exclaimed. This kind of reaction and awareness demonstrated Ye Xiu's familiarity and understanding of the warlock class, which was why he could guess that a Six-Star Light Prison ambush was a possibility in this situation.
So next, the home audience, who had just been very excited, were suddenly worried about their captain again.
Because the attack spell that Soarer was chanting had already flown out. This time, the skill was no longer descending from the sky, which meant that Ye Xiu could determine Soarer's position from the direction of the skill. His Lord Grim was indeed coldly watching the surroundings from the side.
A ghostly shadow flew over at this moment, passed through the Rain of Confusion, and entered the Six-Star Light Prison, entering the body of Lord Grim's shadow clone.
The entire audience's hearts broke!
Captain, you were still tricked in the end!
Ye Xiu's Lord Grim indeed rushed out at this moment, accurately towards the direction from which the ghost shadow flew, and very carefully without making a sound.
Run! This was the home audience's inner voice at this moment, and this time, it seemed that their captain on the field had heard it too.
"Yu Wenzhou didn't neglect this possibility either!" Li Yibo said.
Soarer had already left its original position under Yu Wenzhou's control.
"But if he attacks while moving, he will still be locked onto by Ye Xiu! With Lord Grim's speed, he should be able to close in on him quickly!" Pan Lin said.
"He won't attack while moving," Li Yibo said with unusual confidence.
"Ah? Did he notice the situation?" Pan Lin asked in confusion.
"He will notice soon," Li Yibo said with a smile. "Think about what skill he used just now."
"Ghostly Shadow of Death?" Pan Lin was saying when the ghost shadow that Soarer had just released suddenly flew back again.
"Ah, this..." Pan Lin exclaimed, wasn't this... another exposure of Soarer's position?
"So he will immediately know that what he locked onto was just Lord Grim's shadow clone," Li Yibo said with a smile.
Pan Lin was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly realized.
Ghostly Shadow of Death inflicts damage on the target within a certain time. After the skill ends, the ghost shadow flies back, and 33% of the damage caused is replenished as the warlock's health.
Shadow clones were very fragile. The Ghostly Shadow of Death released by Soarer only possessed the shadow clone for a brief moment before completely consuming it. The ghost shadow would naturally fly back afterward. Whether it was from the skill's duration or the life recovery data generated after flying back, Yu Wenzhou could easily determine that the Ghostly Shadow of Death had only latched onto Lord Grim's shadow clone.
This skill was originally intended for both attack and reconnaissance!
Pan Lin's mind was filled with a sense of understanding. The implications of this match were too profound.
But at this moment, the ghost shadow flying back after attacking the target seemed like a guiding light. Ye Xiu seemed to have realized this early on. As soon as he saw the ghost shadow flying back, Lord Grim immediately adjusted his direction of movement.
The ghost shadow flew back very quickly, but Lord Grim was also going at full speed at this time, no longer thinking about a sneak attack, and using all the skills that could be used for movement. Lord Grim's figure suddenly seemed like a ghost shadow as he moved through the forest. Quickly, Soarer's figure appeared in his field of vision.
"Too fast, really too fast! It will be hard for Yu Wenzhou to get away now!" Pan Lin shouted.
As a result, with a bang, even though it was a jungle terrain, a sandstorm suddenly swept up, instantly engulfing Lord Grim.
The entire audience was dumbfounded, and what was Lord Grim's state at this moment? Losing health, plus blindness again.
"Sandstorm Trap!" Pan Lin muttered blankly.
A high-level thief trap skill that inflicts damage and causes blindness. Yu Wenzhou had applied such a thief skill to Soarer's staff, the Curse of Extinction.
Now everyone had a deeper understanding of how troublesome it was to have multiple forms of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella with multiple skills on it. These changes were truly unpredictable. See, even Ye Xiu himself would be tricked. No matter how familiar he was with the warlock class's skill system, it was really hard to guess what dark-element skill the opponent would choose for their weapon. If you really thought about all the skills and tried to guard against them, then this match would probably be so cautious and hesitant that you wouldn't be able to fight at all.
However, Soarer's Sandstorm Trap was only at level one, so the damage wasn't too high. The blindness effect lasted for three seconds.
For three seconds, Yu Wenzhou had Soarer leave a Curse Arrow for Ye Xiu, and then turned around and left.
"Oh no, why didn't Yu Wenzhou take this opportunity to control Lord Grim?" Pan Lin shouted regretfully.
But the Curse Arrow immediately told him the answer.
Although Lord Grim was blinded, the other aspects were not affected at all. At this time, he suddenly performed a sliding tackle, dodging the Curse Arrow above him, and even approaching Soarer's direction.
Li Yibo glanced at Pan Lin, knowing from his expression that he had gotten the answer.
The opponent Yu Wenzhou had to face was not just anyone. It was Ye Xiu. It was too risky to try to control him within the 3 seconds of blindness. Yu Wenzhou obviously didn't want to take the risk. After quickly chanting a Curse Arrow, he prioritized evasion.
Three seconds later, Lord Grim was released from the blind state, and Soarer had disappeared. Ye Xiu quickly relied on his previous impressions and the distance he could move in three seconds to make a range estimate, searching around, but in the end, he still couldn't find Soarer.
The first exchange between the two had come to a small conclusion. Ye Xiu was not able to deal any substantial damage to Soarer, but in this stage, it was always Soarer that people were worried about.
"What a powerful sense of oppression and aggression!" Li Yibo said to Ye Xiu with emotion.
"But Yu Wenzhou did manage to inflict a little damage on Lord Grim, although it was very little," Pan Lin said.
Then he saw Lord Grim cast a recovery spell on himself. Li Yibo looked at Pan Lin without saying a word.
"You guy, are you planning to have a good time with me?" Ye Xiu temporarily couldn't find his target, so he chatted with people in the channel again.
"You can heal, so attrition is good for you," Yu Wenzhou replied.
"It's a waste of time to dawdle like this. Why don't we roLL to decide the winner, and the loser can gg," Ye Xiu said.
Everyone was in an uproar.
Even more uproar was the fact that Soarer's roLL information then appeared in the public channel, and then, 97!
"Wow!" Blue Rain's home field suddenly exploded, with thunderous applause.
Then, in the channel.
"What are you doing? Be serious. This is the playoffs," Ye Xiu said.
The scene exploded again.
"Hehehe..." The commentator Pan Lin didn't know what to say.
"It's just a joke. The referee wouldn't allow two people to decide the winner with a roLL, it's too childish," Li Yibo said with a smile.
This was a game, but it was also a serious professional competition!
Imagine a soccer match where the two teams guessed a coin toss at the start, and then, heads, you guessed right, okay, you won, and then you left the field?
This was definitely a death wish. It was impossible to be so childish in Glory professional matches. Even in the case of gg to concede, the league would review the gg after the match to see if it was reasonable.
The two were chatting in the channel while also continuing to control their characters.
Although Yu Wenzhou had gotten rid of Ye Xiu's pursuit, on the other hand, he had also lost track of Lord Grim's position. The two were now groping in the fog, carefully searching for each other's coordinates.
This, it seemed, had no logical deduction at all, and was completely like a blind cat running into a dead mouse. The limited field of vision made the map seem very large.
1 minute, 2 minutes...
The two sides had not made contact and were wandering around in the fog. Viewers with God's perspective sometimes couldn't even feel nervous. The characters of both players were cautious, but in reality, their distance was almost diagonal.
The TV broadcast side was also under a lot of pressure! Glory matches were not like soccer, which was completed within a fixed time, so the live broadcast had no way to control the program time. It was okay if it ended earlier than expected, but if it took too long, then the programming of other TV shows would be completely disrupted.
But what could they do? The match would definitely not be changed because of the will of their broadcaster.
"This isn't going to work out if it goes on like this!" Ye Xiu said at this time, and the TV broadcaster immediately liked him very much.
"What's your opinion?" Yu Wenzhou replied.
"Let's agree on a place to decide the winner!" Ye Xiu said.
"Where?" Yu Wenzhou said.
Ye Xiu reported a coordinate.
Thirty seconds later, there was no one at the coordinates. The characters of the two carefully and stealthily appeared nearby.
No one could fool anyone, and the broadcaster was completely crying.
