Volume 3 Containment Operation Chapter 45: Championship Battle
After the first two stages of competition, both the North and South Continents lost both games and sadly withdrew from the competition for the championship and runner-up. The last battle between them was not only for the third or fourth place, but more for the overall honor, to see who can use a victory to save a little face and dignity. Especially the South Continent, it can be said that it has made every effort, first showing weakness to the enemy to hide its strength, and then using all means to fight with all its strength, but it still ended up with nothing, and the defeat was so cowardly, it was actually disrupted by a sneak attack from a necromancer like me, and even its confidence seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. Seeing their extremely ashamed and sad expressions when they left the stage, even I, an opponent who did not have much good feelings for them, could not help but feel a little sympathy. Alas, it was all caused by fame and fortune. It's a pity that I am also a layman and can't put these aside. For a better future, I have to let you down.
What the millions of spectators at the scene are most looking forward to is naturally the championship battle between us who have won both battles and the Western Continent. The contest between Supreme Honor and Long Xing Tian Xia, the two undisputed "number one in the continent", will determine who will win the title of "the world's number one master"; the fierce collision of the only two artifacts in "Tian Xia", "Holy Cross" and "Touch of Death", will show how powerful it will be and it also touches everyone's heartstrings; and the conflict between me, a dark necromancer, and the light professions can also arouse people's curiosity - although because the fifth-level professionals have not yet appeared, the struggle between the two major forces of darkness and light in the game has not yet been made public, but the contradiction between light and darkness has a long history, and the profession itself should mean a kind of opposition.
After another hour of rest, the most tense, exciting and fierce third stage of the game began. The first was an appetizer, a battle of honor between the northern and southern continents. Both sides were fighting with all their might. The elves and dwarves of the northern continent maintained their usual high morale, and the southern continent, after a short adjustment, seemed to have recovered from the shadow of the last disastrous defeat, showing an indomitable momentum to win. Although there was nothing much for the audience to look forward to, the whole game was still very intense and exciting, with scenes of fierce fighting showing the highest level of fighting skills of both sides.
Because the Black Knight of Sky Star and the Vampire Bat of Night Bonfire did not suffer too serious injuries in the match with us, they were still able to play in this match and had the advantage in overall strength. In view of the strength of the elf shooters and the lessons learned from the previous match, they specially assigned Kuangfeng Juansha and Lieri to be in charge of closely guarding the two undead wizards, and at the same time used vampire bats to hover around the three elf shooters to distract their attention. Relying on the overall advantage, they fought steadily and with the help of the two Black Knights, they dragged the three dwarf warriors to stop being frenzied, and then launched an all-out counterattack, finally seizing the opportunity and winning this long-overdue victory.
Finally, it was the turn of the East-West Continent finals. As the sixteen contestants from both sides entered the arena, the audience was almost boiling with excitement. Various strange noises rose and fell amidst the cheers, fully demonstrating their excitement that could not be suppressed. In the arena where success or failure determines a hero, the championship battle is always the most exciting.
The players of both teams went to the midfield to shake hands one by one. According to the result of the pre-match discussion, it was decided to give the most difficult supreme honor to Long Xingtian, so I have been paying attention to the bright priest Sheng Tiantang. The "holy words" he chanted have a subtle restraining effect on undead creatures, and can also increase the offense and defense of his companions. He is also a key figure with strong strength. How to limit his performance or even get rid of him has become a challenge entrusted to me. He also cares about me. During the short handshake time, our eyes met several times, indicating that I should also be his target. However, with the help of Black Star, a single Priest of Light was not enough to pose a threat to me. What troubled me was that Supreme Honor seemed to be quite interested in me as well. While paying attention to Long Xing Tian Xia, he also "peeked" at me from time to time. When shaking hands with me, he looked me up and down carefully, especially on some parts of the body such as the chest, waist, hands and feet, where he spent a longer time. If I hadn't felt that there was no pornographic factor in his gaze, I would almost suspect that he had some special hobbies - although my appearance was nothing outstanding, everyone has their own preferences.
"He is inferring and evaluating the equipment you have on you to see if there is anything worth noting. This is a necessary quality for an experienced master. It shows that he values you very much." This is Bai Yunjian's answer to my question.
"His opponent should be Brother Long, why is he so concerned about me?" I was quite puzzled.
"This is just our wishful thinking. There is no restriction on opponents in the team competition. As long as he has the ability, he can pick whoever he wants. Maybe he is excited to see the prey and wants to compete with you to see the power of each other's weapons first, so he may choose you as his opponent. Anyway, you have the help of the Dark Knight, you should be able to fight with him, and it won't be considered as bullying you." Bai Yunjian acted as if he was gloating and ready to watch the fun, as if the competition had nothing to do with him.
My heart tightened when I heard this. It was clearly Holy Heaven's target, and Supreme Honor also showed such interest in me. Could it be that they were really planning to go two against one, and the two of them were working together to kill me first?
"Don't listen to Xiaobai's nonsense. Those are just speculations and cannot be trusted. I guess on the one hand he is a little interested in you and is taking the opportunity to observe you. On the other hand, it is also a psychological tactic to put mental pressure on you so that you can't figure out your specific opponent. You will be nervous during the game and easily make mistakes." Long Xingtianxia walked over, slapped Bai Yunjian in the face, and comforted me.
"Then who do you think will be the target of the highest honor?" I asked again worriedly.
"From his performance, I am probably the main target. However, he is probably quite concerned about the artifact you have. It is difficult for him to fight me with all his strength. He may withdraw to deal with you at any time. He has the artifact in his hand, and I am not sure I can entangle him. This will be a melee, and the result is unpredictable. But no matter what, as long as we try our best to exert our strength, it will be ok. Victory is gratifying, and even if we lose, there is nothing to regret. Victory and defeat are common in the military. We can compete again next time."
The game officially started. The opponent did not take the initiative to attack like in the previous two games. They first summoned their pets, and then Saint Heaven cast "blessing" and "courage" on them one by one. We were also cautious not to attack first, waiting for me to summon Black Star and more than 50 skeleton archers, and then Long Xing Tian Xia and Yamato Spirit took the lead, Hua Man Tian and Golden Sunflower followed a few steps behind and distributed on both wings. Bai Yunjian and I were at the end, guarding Ba Jiu Gao Ge and Ganges War God, and slowly moved forward to test the opponent's reaction.
The Supreme Honor finally started to move, and they were divided into two teams on the left and right. The Supreme Honor, Angels on Earth and Holy Heaven were grouped together. Although there was one less person, they all belonged to the light profession, which could be said to be the strongest combination. The other five people gathered together and were slightly behind on the right. They also did not rush forward and moved in accordance with our speed.
After a tense confrontation, the "Flame Arrow" attack of the Magic Archer who was watching with cold eyes sounded the clarion call of attack, breaking the dull situation. With a call, Long Xing Tianxia, Yamato Spirit, Hua Mantian and Golden Sunflower quickly broke away from the main formation and rushed forward rapidly. Black Star followed beside them, and they were heading in the direction of Supreme Honor. However, Black Star's position was slightly to the right, taking into account the prevention of Supreme Glory and the others. The four of us continued to maintain the original speed and approached forward, paying special attention to the opponent's Magic Archer who was watching with cold eyes and the assassin Silent Lamb. I didn't want the scene that happened to others in the last game to be repeated on me.
Holy Heaven stopped and began to mutter and chant the "Holy Word" again. Supreme Honor and Angel also used the "Holy Blessing" ability at the same time, and rushed forward to meet Long Xingtianxia and the others. It seemed that they were planning to fight two against four, because the five people on the other side did not intend to come over to support, but instead quickened their pace to approach us who were in the rear.
Confidence, absolute confidence. Facing the four masters led by Long Xing Tianxia and even Black Star watching us, they dared to adopt such a risky tactic and split their forces to fight. What did they rely on? Was it the artifact "Holy Cross" or other considerations? No matter how you look at it, the four of us should be able to hold out longer against the five of them. What's more, I still have the "Touch of Death" in my hand. They should have been cautious. They are so reckless and don't take us seriously.
Time did not allow for hesitation. I gritted my teeth and gave up the idea of letting Black Star intercept the five-man group that was rushing over. I joined the siege of the three of Supreme Honor, with five against three, striving to gain an overwhelming advantage in a short period of time.
Long Xing Tian Xia went straight to the Supreme Honor, Yamato Spirit and Hua Man Tian joined forces to rush towards the Angels on Earth, and as for Golden Sunflower, it bypassed them and relied on the speed of the Five-Colored Zebra to chase after Holy Heaven that fell behind, while Black Star also quickened its pace and rushed towards the Angels on Earth. If he was really besieged by the three of them, no matter how great his abilities were, he would never be able to escape unscathed.
Just as he was about to engage in close combat with the Angel on Earth, he suddenly put away his spear and raised his left hand high. There was a dazzling white light, and a white round ball slowly floated from the palm of his left hand into the air, projecting a small circle of light on the ground. It was just a dot at first, and as the small ball got higher and higher, the circle of light also expanded rapidly, quickly covering the Yamato Spirit, Hua Mantian and the golden sunflower that was circling by the side. As the white light reached their bodies, the movements of the three of them came to a standstill and their speed slowed down a lot. They barely ran two more steps and then stopped. The circle of light covered an area with a radius of five meters. In this area, the Yamato Spirit and the other three, including the Angel on Earth himself, seemed to be fixed by the white ball floating in the sky. They could not move and temporarily lost the ability to fight.
We were stunned by this sudden change, all staring at the small white ball of light. What kind of item was this? It had such power that it could actually restrict the movements of players. No wonder his position suddenly became so far away from Supreme Honor and the others. Using one to trap the three of us, this deal was really a good deal.
Dragon Walks the World has been entangled with the Supreme Honor, and the fight is in full swing. The two are evenly matched, even the mounts are the same, and it seems that neither can easily get rid of the other. My Black Star was a little slow at the beginning because he took into account the five-man group on the other side. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I was discovered to be abnormal and stopped its action in time. Fortunately, it was a step late and was not circled by the light ball. I escaped. Looking at the four people frozen in the light circle, I had no choice but to let it go to trouble the Holy Heaven hiding behind. The Dark Knight riding a mount to chase the Light Priest on foot should not have any accidents. He is just a fourth-level senior Light Priest, and he does not have any powerful skills that can pose a threat to the Dark Knight.
Facing Black Star's obvious intention, Holy Heaven, who had no melee professional protection, seemed quite calm. He did not try to dodge, but took a few steps forward. The magic wand in his hand disappeared, and turned into a large book-like thing that shone with glittering silver light, which he held in front of his chest with both hands. He recited the book in a hurry, and the silver light emanating from the book became more and more brilliant, and suddenly spread out, shooting out a silver beam of light and shining on Black Star who was about to rush in front of him. In the beam of light, silver characters emerged from the book one by one, flying straight towards Black Star , one by one sticking tightly to its body and escaping into its body. In an instant, I felt Black Star's pain. Not only did these silver characters temporarily paralyze its movements, they also seemed to be eroding its soul bit by bit. I couldn't help but be shocked. What kind of attack method was this that could break through the Dark Knight's powerful defense and directly harm Black Star's soul? I didn't know if it was only effective against undead creatures, or if it also had the same attack capability against players like me.
The three light-related professions actually took the initiative as soon as the battle broke out. Two of them displayed extraordinary means, a white ball of light, and a scripture glowing with silver light. With only two people, they tied down the four main combat forces on our side in one fell swoop. The artifact of supreme honor, the "Holy Cross", has not been used yet. I don't know what kind of power it has. At this point in the final, the situation is extremely unfavorable for us.
