Chapter 250 Fighting the bayonet
From the eighth round, I participated in the qualifiers. In the one-on-one competition, I did not show much advantage. Most of the games can be said to be narrowly won. Fortunately, I did not encounter opponents with too strong strength. Most of them have ordinary level 6 magic pets. Of course, I did not use all my strength. Every time I just summoned the Red Star with a relatively high exposure rate to help the battle. The undead creatures only summoned a combination of the terrifying giant bear knight and the Dark Knight. Like Taotao, Wuma, Corpse Witch King and other capable subordinates did not show up. As for powerful props such as "Morning Ring", "Marso" and "Flying Snap" skills of Red Star were naturally not used. On the one hand, the damage was consumed and it was not easy to recover. On the other hand, I also thought of unexpected effects and prepared to stay in key matches to deal with those top master players.
Based on my performance in the qualifiers, I can only describe it in two words, that is, "clutty", and extremely "clutty". Fighting a level six magic pet alone, even if it is a relatively ordinary three-headed thunder wolf, the Red Star, who cannot use the "life-seeking gun", will not take any advantage. On the one hand, it is because the soul energy absorbed from "law enforcement" Santos is too huge, and it is quite difficult to transform. It is not something that can be done in a short time. At the same time, it is because in the setting of "The World", the strength of the undead creatures is inherently lower than that of the same level of monsters. Except for the mutated species of Hell, the bone dragon at the top of the undead creatures is also half inferior to the ninth-level demon dragon. Red Star has no way to take the initiative on the field, so I, as the master, can only face it directly.
Attack against opponents - they will not give me the opportunity to perform "Summoning the Undead", and compared with other professions, the offensive and defensive wizards themselves are relatively weak, and they are definitely at a disadvantage. And the more unlucky opponents they encounter in the qualifiers are often shooters and magicians, occasionally a few knights, warriors and other melee professions, and are equipped with agile or ranged attack pets. So in several team competitions, the "No. 1 Wizard in the World" faces a single opponent on the field, often chased and runs around in a mess, and has to bear the cheering team that cheers the opponent and many players who are very dissatisfied with my "negative game" performance on the spot, which is so depressing.
Especially when facing a wind magician in the 13th round qualifier, it was the most painful battle I have ever had. The little girl is not very old, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old. She looks quite cute, but she is a little too ruthless to even summon pets. As soon as the game started, she directly used the "tornado" skill at me. The speed of the start time made me sigh. I probably had practiced it many times, and there should be other equipment to improve the attack speed. In terms of absolute speed, it must be faster than me. The lethality of this "tornado" itself is not too high, but it has the "shaking" effect, which can make the target unstable and the body rotates around. When encountering experienced opponents, it is difficult to avoid the subsequent attack once they are caught. Generally, they have to eat a few times before they have a chance to get out.
The little girl's move immediately interrupted my program of summoning Red Stars and had to dodge it. I never thought that the little girl was still excited and chased after her step by step. A "tornado" followed by a "tornado". I didn't know how to save my mental power at all, which made me overwhelmed. Not to mention "the undead summoning", even the "pet summoning" had no chance to perform. Such an extraordinary tactic of not summoning powerful pets to help fight was mentally unconscious.
I was ready and complained. The attack speed was not as fast as the opponent, and I was unable to counterattack for a while, so I could only passively retreat and avoid it. Being forced by a little girl, I was too embarrassed to escape all over the field. Almost all the players watching the game were booing me. Even the "100-person cheerleader team" specially equipped for me by Tongxin League also became silent at that moment. It seemed a little embarrassed. Every minute and every second on the ring felt like it was a torture.
It was still Afeng who had the foresight that when he planned hidden strength for me and improved his tactics in the game, he had already predicted the occurrence of this situation and solemnly warned me, "The process is not important, don't care too much, the key is to look at the result. No matter what, victory is our only goal." After thinking through his words, my psychological endurance withstood the test of countless boos, and resolutely implements my tactic of blindly "escape". He relies solemnly on "One Rider" and "Move Shape Phantom" to dodge, and dragged it until the little girl was unable to support her mental power and had to slow down her attack and summon her pets to help the battle. Then he launched a counterattack and defeated her with the "Nether Ghost Fire".
This is my tactic. Although it is "ugly" and not very appreciative, it is very practical and suitable for my technical characteristics. With my shallow game experience, I have to fight head-on with those master players, attack against attack, and find opportunities to win. The chance of success can be said to be relatively small. Most of the time, I have to use the skills of thieves to engage in sports wars. As the saying goes, success is king and defeat is bandit. Although I have been criticized by more and more viewers, I think that my seed player is "not worthy of my name". Even "Tian Media" has to use words like "boring" and "crazy" in my reports on me, and even jokingly call me a "firm conservative". However, when many seed players in other groups were eliminated in surprise, I was constantly advancing and gradually approaching the goal of qualifying in the group.
Standing on the ring again, this can be said to be the most critical game in the qualifiers. If I win, I can directly qualify as the first place in the group. However, if I miss it for a while, I have to compete with another player who has been resurrected by the defeat to compete for the last place in the group second place to enter the main competition. In order to avoid those seed players in the first round after entering the main competition, to face the previous opponent who is not too strong, and to reduce the trouble of advancing to the next round, I must try my best to win the first place in the group.
According to the information, the opponent is called Youhun, his profession is an assassin, and his pet is a level 6 warrior beast, a three-eyed monkey. Although his actions are not agile among monkeys, his fingers are sharp and he has strong physical attack power. There is a third eye growing on his forehead, which can shoot a yellow light, and releases the "slow action" skill of the earth-type. The ability of the three-eyed monkey is not very outstanding, but it can form a good cooperation with the assassin's profession skills. If equipped with a dagger with good attributes, it will definitely be a great threat to a magician like me. And Youhun is also affiliated with the Huadu Mercenary Group, which is the mortal enemy Huamantian, so I cannot lose to him.
At the beginning of the game, as long as you are not a ranged attack profession like shooters and magicians, you don’t have to worry about your opponents destroying me to perform “pet summoning”. As an assassin of melee profession, Wandering Soul is naturally the main attacker. While rushing towards me at full speed, I started to summon pets. While summoning Red Star, I quickly retreated and tried my best to distance myself from him.
The two pets appeared almost at the same time. Following my instructions, Hongxing immediately launched an attack on the three-eyed monkey. Be sure to entangle it. If it escapes and shoots two "slow movements" at me, it will easily be approached by the assassin. My situation is quite bad. The assassin's super high movement speed also makes me not have enough time to perform the "Summoning of the Undead", so I can only retreat with all my strength and prevent the wandering soul from approaching.
The speed and body movement of the thief profession that I have always been proud of. Facing the better assassin, the distance was quickly pulled closer. The dagger shone with a cold light in front of me. I knew it was not an ordinary item at first glance, which put a lot of pressure on me. I finally suppressed the temptation to summon Taotao to help the battle. In this way, I might be able to win more easily, but when the trump card is exposed, the future opponents will be prepared for the future competition. As A Feng said, the individual competition is extremely unfavorable to the undead wizard. If you want to go further, you cannot be afraid of temporary difficulties. After all, I have not been forced to the end of the road. This is not a life-and-death battle that can only win but not lose. I must try my best to grit my teeth and persevere, so that I can improve my combat level.
The powerful "Nether Ghost Fire" was not enough to be used. The "Cloud of Death" that could be released quickly was shot wildly by me, but it still received the effect of blocking the enemy. Assassins with equally low defense ability would not be so easy to get hit by a few "Cloud of Death", which made the wandering souls eagerly unable to break through the blockade of "Cloud of Death" and approached me to launch an attack.
Seeing that the frontal attack was fruitless, the wandering soul stopped sprinting, and his body suddenly flashed a few times and disappeared without a trace. It seems that he activated the Assassin's "slide" skill, which was invisible and increased the movement speed by 25%. Although the attack cannot be carried out during "slide", and according to the strength comparison of both sides, it cannot get too close, otherwise it will be invalid. However, with the assassin's ability to sprint attacks at a short distance, "slide" combined with attack skills such as "slide" is also difficult to prevent. It is quite a headache, quick to move, and retreat as soon as it touches. This is also the biggest advantage of thieves and assassins with poor attack power to compete with other professions.
Facing "slide" alone, blindly moving and dodging or random attacks are all inferior strategies. Not only does it consume physical and mental power unnecessary, it is easier for the opponent to catch the flaws and attack. The best way to deal with it is to fight for reaction, use calmness to control, and launch a counterattack while the opponent leaves the "slide" state and turns to attack. Even if the attack cannot be stopped, at least it can be exchanged for injuries and not suffer too much loss. However, this tactic has high requirements for both sides' skills. The side with poor skills will often die ugly. Just like I, I have practiced with several assassins in the group before the game, and the reaction is always slow and I am often injured by the opponent.
In fact, I also have a way to break the invisibility, that is, use the artifact "Death Touch" to snatch him first, so that there are traces to be found. However, for targets with faster movement speed, the hit rate of "Death Touch" is not high, which makes me dare not make lightly, so as not to waste my life, and at the same time, it will also make the opponent concentrate on defense, which is even more rare.
I used the "One Rider" twice in a row to distance myself from the three-eyed spiritual monkey. This hateful guy would rather be injured by the red star, but always wanted to find an opportunity to approach me. If he was shot by the three eyes on his head and was affected by the "slow movement" effect, I would be miserable. It was just convenient for the Wandering Soul to attack closely, so how could it get what it wished? Then he stood still, slowly turned his body, paid attention to the movement around him, and prepared to deal with the Wandering Soul's attack.
A figure flashed in the corner of my eyes, and a figure of a wandering soul appeared behind him. After a stuttering, he rushed up quickly. The dagger in his hand flashed with white light and roared towards my chest. I immediately reacted and used the "One Rider of the World" and "Move Shape Phantom" to retreat quickly, but it was still a little slower. A deceased shield was smashed and stabbed into the body. Then there were two consecutive pursuits, which made me feel embarrassed and injured another one, and I got rid of his entanglement. Fortunately, I had the "damage transformation" function of the "Dark Demon Robe", which replaced the loss of health with mental power, so that I would not be too serious.
After succeeding, the wandering soul once again entered a state of "sliding". After launching two more attacks, my reaction was slower by half a beat and I was repeatedly injured by him. Although it was not serious every time, it accumulated a lot. If I find a way to not change this situation and continue to persist, the situation will become more and more unfavorable to me.
After enduring several attacks, I have roughly estimated the performance of the dagger held by Youhun. In terms of attack power, it is still above my Shadow Dagger, but there is no additional damage alienation effect, and it is obviously worse in the grade. This is reasonable. Youhun is just the second assassin in Huadu. The first one is a guy who called me Laiye, and he is also one of the seed players in the qualifiers. He has a good relationship with Hua Mantian, so he naturally has to give him equipment first.
That's good. In line with the information you have, you can start to implement the tactic of "bayonet" formulated in advance. When Youhun appeared again and was about to launch an attack, I did not evade in a hurry like I did in the previous few times. The shadow dagger was lit up with the empty right hand, and a "sneak attack technique" was used to stab the figure that Youhun rushed up, exchanging injuries and fighting each other. Seeing that there was no paralysis or weakness effect associated with the start, I still insisted on resolutely, and quickly waved the dagger and began to stab, posing as if I wanted to fight with him in close combat.
I had a record of hand-to-hand combat in the "Four-Square Continental Elite Challenge", but I faced long-range attack shooters and magicians, and I don't have any close combat capabilities, so I am naturally qualified to bully them. This time it's different. As a normal situation, part-time thieves in level four professions have to fight with level six professions assassins, which is undoubtedly a testimony and seeking death.
