Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter 48: Conference (9)
Looking at those smiling faces, I suddenly understood Afeng's intention. This guy wanted them to know me better, so that I could be more relaxed and better integrated into this group. His intentions were good, but his methods were too bad. So he could be spared the death penalty, but I couldn't forgive him for his crimes. I must teach him a lesson. Otherwise, he would always play tricks on me silently. Wouldn't my good image be ruined? How could any beautiful girl be interested in me?
After all the laughter, I suddenly remembered something important. "Sister Wuxia, I have a question. You have all advanced to the second-level profession. Why are you still only using the first-level skills to attack during the competition? Aren't the second-level skills more powerful than the first-level skills?" I have never understood this. If only one or two people use the first-level skills, it would be fine. The problem is that in the arena, there is no distinction between friend and foe, and the attack skills used are mostly first-level. If it were me, I would definitely use "Corrupted Bone Arrows" instead of "Fire Phosphorus Bombs". It can't be that their second-level skills are auxiliary in nature and cannot be used directly, right?
Xue Wuxia showed an appreciative look, "Not bad , you've already discovered this problem before we even said anything. Level 2 skills are quite powerful, but they also consume a lot of mental energy, and everyone has just learned them, so their proficiency is not high, so the success rate and hit rate of the skills are a bit lower. It's not a big deal when you're killing monsters and leveling up, but when fighting against masters, you have to be careful all the time and try to reduce mistakes, so everyone would rather choose to use level 1 skills. We're not performing here, we have to start from practicality and choose the most appropriate skills. In fact, when you have more experience in fighting, you'll naturally realize this."
So that's how it is. I nodded heavily and kept these words in my heart. This is the experience of a master, which needs to be slowly absorbed. Whether I can save my life in the future depends on how much I can master. But I am always worried about my mortal enemy, the Church of Light. I will definitely not cause trouble for them. I just don't know if they will let me go. Alas, it's really not easy to live!
After fierce competition, the last spot of the top six was finally decided. The team led by the magic archer Wuming was lucky enough to defeat other opponents and advance to the next round. The magic archer is also a hidden profession with a unique "magic auxiliary" ability, which can add offensive magic to the arrows shot out. Once hit, it can increase the damage to the target. According to Yun Wuying, who was gathering intelligence, if the arrow with "magic auxiliary" applied by Wuming hits the vital point, I am afraid it will be difficult to stand up again. What else can I do? I can only pray that there will be fewer people like Wuming and Baiyunjian, and try not to let me run into them. I have to step over Afeng's body before attacking me. What if I am killed at the beginning of the game? It's too embarrassing.
The draw results came out. The opponent was not Long Xing Tian Xia or Magic Shooter Wu Ming, but another Japanese team that made it to the top ten, Yamato Spirit. It could be said that it was a bad draw. Another Japanese player who made it to the top ten of the individual competition, Yamamoto Kyushu, was also among them. He was a knight with the innate skill of "solidity", which could enhance his defense for a period of time. He had superb fighting skills. At this stage, everyone's attack power was not high, so it was difficult to cause serious damage to him, and he was also a strong opponent.
Some people were getting nervous, but A Feng laughed, "Do we have a grudge against the Japanese? There are two teams composed of Japanese players in the top ten, and we have encountered them both. If we defeat them again this time, can't we be called 'anti-Japanese heroes'?"
Everyone was amused by his words. Xue Wuxia rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't be so eager to dream of being an 'anti-Japanese hero'. You should think carefully about how to deal with the double attack from Yamato Spirit and Yamamoto Kyushu. You are their focus. Don't let them take you down in a few moves or you'll expose your 'cowardly nature'."
A Feng stretched out his hand and pulled me over. "Don't worry. With A Dai there to protect us, their focus of attack will never be on me. If we don't kill him first, it will be difficult to deal with so many undead."
I kicked him aside. Damn it, he wanted to hurt me. Without your strong cooperation, my skeleton warriors alone can't stop the opponent's attack. The skeleton warriors are really weak. I was so scared when they killed me. Why is it so difficult to deal with them? I was easily defeated. Fortunately, there are enough of them. The old man is right. The "human wave tactics" is the most effective way to fight. If the field is large enough, 500 skeleton warriors will fight together. If they can't kill them, they will be exhausted to death.
Thinking about the terrifying attack power of the Angry Swordsman in the report, I was a little worried about the ability of the Skeleton Warrior, and carefully suggested to Xue Wuxia: "Sister Wuxia, the enemy in this battle is quite strong. I'm afraid the Skeleton Warrior can't withstand it. Do you think..."
Xue Wuxia hesitated for a moment and shook her head. "It's just a competition for the top four. We don't need to show all our strength yet. Otherwise, the next two games will be difficult. Let's adopt plan two. As long as we cooperate well, we still have a great chance."
I was unsure. We had to play one game at a time. If we didn't make it through this one, we wouldn't have enough players. We would be at a disadvantage in the play-offs. We might not even make it to the semi-finals. There are always better players out there. I couldn't fully exert my fighting power. The outcome was unpredictable! But as a rookie, I didn't dare to question the captain's decision. It had been decided beforehand. All actions during the game were subject to his command.
Finally, we are on the field again. We are still the same eight people as last time. However, when I was introduced, I was no longer just a small apprentice thief, but also a junior necromancer. The appearance of my dual-professional caused cheers. Yamato Spirit and his team sent out a fire magician, a shooter, three knights, two warriors and his angry swordsman, which is also their strongest lineup. The two warriors protected the magician and the shooter and fell behind to guard against the sudden undead army. The Yamato Spirit and Yamamoto Kyushu and other three knights rushed to the front, intending to defeat the enemy with their powerful attack power.
The opponent's strength can be seen from the formation. Afeng and the Guardian of the Heart will definitely not be able to stop the Yamato Spirit and Yamamoto Kyushu, who have superior professions and skills. Once they are defeated, the opponent can march straight in and quickly kill me, the biggest threat. Without the help of the undead, we can't be their opponent at all. Now we can only implement plan No. 2 and win by surprise.
The battle began, and everything went as expected. The four people in the front row, including Yamato, rushed towards us, and the fire magician in the back was even more excessive. He cast a group attack magic "Continuous Fireballs". With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen small fireballs flew straight towards us. He went all out from the beginning, trying to defeat us in one fell swoop.
The strange thing is that our people just put on a defensive posture, Afeng and the Guardian of the Heart who were in the front slowly moved back, and Xue Wuxia and the others did not use any attack skills. Did we give up the resistance? The answer is of course impossible, this is to cooperate with my plan No. 2.
I was already prepared and quickly cast the "Summon the Dead". Oh no, it failed. I tried again. Damn, it failed again. My forehead was sweating. At this critical moment, I failed twice in a row. Isn't this going to kill us? Xue Wuxia, who was standing in front of me, noticed something was wrong and turned to look at me with a hint of anxiety. Yamato's spirit was emitting red light all over his body. It seemed that he had used the "anger" ability. His attack, defense and agility were doubled. He was about to rush to Afeng. Yamamoto Kyushu's movements were slightly stiff when he ran. He had also cast the "solid" skill to enhance his own defense. We didn't launch an attack, so they were able to move forward smoothly. If I couldn't successfully cast the "Summon the Dead" magic to summon the Undead Army, once the melee started, we would probably be defeated. But I had no choice. This damn skill success rate limit was not something I could control. Who knew how many times it would fail?
