Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter 46: General Assembly (7)
The battle was at a stalemate. We were on the defensive because we were short of a fighter. The Japanese heroes attacked with all their might but couldn't find any flaws in our fight. They had already deemed me a harmless person. I didn't give orders or participate in the attack. It was not worth wasting time on me. I was also quite slippery and always kept a considerable distance. So the attacks were only directed at the seven of them. I almost became a spectator on the stage.
We are not in a hurry because I still have my trump card that I haven't used yet. We have finally met a team of masters. Xue Wuxia is training and testing our offensive and defensive capabilities. We should just treat it as a warm-up to prepare for the next few fierce battles. After looking at the performance of both sides in the previous stage, even I, who have the least vision, am sure that we can definitely win this game. Once the undead appear, who can compete with us?
But the audience at the scene didn’t think so. I am a "waste" - this is the latest evaluation of me by the audience at the scene. Naturally, I am not considered to have fighting power. The Japanese heroes are outnumbered by eight to seven, but they have no signs of winning for such a long time and are still struggling with us. It is really embarrassing. I am worse than a bear, and I still dare to call myself a hero.
The Japanese hero couldn't hold back any longer, and kept making gestures to direct the actions of the team members. It seemed that our performance exceeded his imagination and was not inferior to theirs at all. It was impossible to have a quick victory. We would drag them into a protracted battle and give them a full warm-up. This was our plan. Only when the health and mental strength of Afeng and the Guardian of the Heart were less than 50%, would it be the time for me to show off my power. It was impossible for me not to fight, otherwise the opponent would be equally strong. Even if I could win, I would be seriously injured. If I couldn't recover to normal before the next battle, it would be a loss. It would take at least one or two hours for the health and mental strength to go from zero to full.
Faced with our tenacity, the Japanese hero suddenly roared, and the four people who were fighting with Afeng and his men quickly retreated. We were already on the defensive, so we naturally couldn't stop their retreat. We didn't understand what the other party was planning, so we took the opportunity to shrink the front line and wait and see what happened.
Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in front of us. A dozen lightning bolts fell from the sky and landed in our camp. The Japanese hero actually played a trick on us and cast a group attack magic, which made us busy. Fortunately, the attack power of the group magic was not too high, otherwise we would have been hurt. He was really insidious and also had a back-up plan, ready to win by surprise at the critical moment.
"Be careful, this is the group attack magic 'Chain Lightning', everyone disperse and keep your distance." Xue Wuxia issued a timely warning before the opponent's next attack came, and at the same time made a gesture to me, indicating that the time for me to attack has come. If I wait any longer, the opponent will regroup and rush up, and our formation will be in disarray, and it will be difficult to resist their attack.
The Japanese hero cast another "chain lightning" down. Fortunately, this magic did not distinguish between friend and foe, and affected everyone in the range. They did not dare to get close, otherwise it would be troublesome. I jumped around to avoid the lightning, while wearing the Necromancer badge. My health was already reduced by one third, and it was time to speed up the recovery of life.
Advanced skills are not only more time-consuming to perform, but also have a low success rate. The two consecutive "chain lightning" have used up the Japanese hero's luck. After gesturing for a long time, the third "chain lightning" has not been released. If he succeeds again, our formation will be even more scattered, and it will be impossible to organize an effective counterattack before they rush up.
Of course I would not give him this opportunity. The necromancer's super skill "Summoning the Dead" was finally unveiled to the world for the first time. In the flashing black light, a large number of skeleton warriors appeared out of thin air, waving swords and shields, and rushed towards the Japanese heroes aggressively.
However, I still had some reservations. Following Xue Wuxia's instructions, I only summoned out a hundred skeleton warriors. Firstly, the area of the arena was limited, and there would be no place to stay if there were too many of them. Secondly, given the opponent's strength, these were enough to deal with them. The most important thing was to make sure that the next opponent would not be able to figure out my true strength and would misjudge my strength.
The sudden appearance of the Skeleton Warriors made the opponents stunned. Although they quickly realized that they were enemies, they were inevitably careless in their hasty response, and Xue Wuxia and the others were among them, taking advantage of the opportunity to give them a fatal blow. The Japanese hero tried to struggle and released another "chain lightning" to knock down a dozen Skeleton Warriors, but in front of these fearless undead, his resistance seemed so weak that he was quickly rushed in front of the Skeleton Warriors. The teammates who were originally responsible for covering the shooter and the magician had been entangled by Afeng and the Guardian of the Heart in cooperation with the Skeleton Warriors, and they were unable to take care of themselves and could no longer protect them.
They rushed forward, wielding swords and shields at the same time. Although they could not cause too much damage to the opponent's warriors, the restraining effect was still good. If the bone knife hit too many of them, it would also cause great harm. As for the archers and magicians, there was no need to mention them. The entire arena was full of my undead brothers, and they were unavoidable. The head-on conflict, coupled with Xue Wuxia's all-out attack against them, had doomed the Japanese hero team to failure.
Facing this miraculous reversal, not only did the Japanese hero who was forced to step down after his life dropped to zero look stunned and unbelievable, but the audience was also in an uproar, many people impulsively shouted that we cheated and asked the referee to be fair and disqualify us. As soon as I heard it, I knew that they were players who supported the Japanese hero. In a hurry, they spoke without thinking. In such a formal competition, let’s not talk about whether they have the ability to cheat, even if they can do it, they dare not do it in front of everyone!
I sent the remaining skeleton warriors back to the "Dead Soul Space" - they can be summoned on the ring, but if I take them to participate in the next game, I will definitely not be allowed to do so, so it is an extra help. As for those doubts, facts speak louder than words, and we are too lazy to pay attention to them. We stand leisurely on the ring, accepting more and more cheers of victory, waiting for the referee's verdict.
The referee had never seen such a situation before and could not judge whether I had violated the rules. He was urgently contacting the organizing committee for consultation. The result was naturally fair. Soon, the referee officially announced that our team won the game and successfully entered the top six.
"Tian Media" quickly reported this incident, claiming that according to the judgment and analysis of senior experts, the player Ah Dai should be an extremely lucky dual-professional, with two professions, the necromancer and the thief. What I performed on the ring should be a more advanced skill of the necromancer, "Summoning the Dead" , which can summon varying numbers of undead to help fight. The article also briefly introduced the origin and professional characteristics of the necromancer. Although it was vague and did not involve more important secrets, it surprised me. These reporters are really powerful. They have known so much information before they have interviewed me. I don’t know which colleague betrayed the news. There are traitors among everyone.
The victory of this battle greatly enhanced our reputation and popularity. According to the latest public opinion survey results, Ah Dai has become a strong candidate for the team championship, along with the teams of Long Xing Tian Xia and Yamato Spirit. In an article written by a reporter from Longda, it was written: A dark horse has emerged, and the Necromancer has become the biggest dark horse in this competition. The second place in the Tian Xia ranking is well deserved, and the Eastern Army has added a new force. In a short time, my reputation has soared. Wherever I go, there are flowers and applause. No one dares to doubt my strength. I am a little intoxicated. I have lived for more than 20 years, and when have I received such praise? I can't help but feel a little flattered.
The results came out very quickly. In addition to our dark horse, the highly favored team to win the championship, Long Xing Tian Xia, defeated the Descendants of Yan and Huang, and Yamato Spirit defeated the Ganges God of War, and they all entered the top six as they wished. The other two teams were the Assassin Goryeo Warrior and the Knight Hua Mantian, who defeated the Magic Shooter Wuming and Han Chao Zhengtong respectively, and also advanced to the top six. Our five teams got more rest time, and the five losing teams had to play three rounds of play-offs. In each round, there would be a lucky team that would be given a bye and automatically enter the next round to compete with the winner for the last spot in the top six.
