The Great Thief - Chapter 539

Chapter 539

Without Stealth and escape skills, they were no different to two Warriors . Even a fight between Warriors would be more interesting .

However, the audience still gave them a round of applause; the male and female analysts were excited to share the sportsmanship with the audience .

"It’s always a classic battle when the top players make their own rules for a competition!" the male analyst exclaimed .

"Think about it – the last time this happened was back in last year when Unforgettable Maple battled Cloudy Leaf in Shadow Realm," the female analyst said with admiration . "Now, we’re about to see a match between the top two Thieves . Floral Paralysis is one of the best, most well-known Thieves, while Lu Li’s is a new top gamer . What will the results be between these two top players? We’ll have to wait and see . "

The analysts that the Magic Cup hired weren’t as professional as Dark Wind . They were happy that such a classic battle would take place in a competition that they were commentating .

Perhaps, this could become the top news of the competition this season .

"Classic my ***! You got played!" In the audience, someone stood up and yelled with rage .

Stellar Union Silver Radiant and Floral Paralysis were both celebrity players from Azure Guard . Perhaps as a bystander, he was more aware of what Lu Li was plotting .

Now that he thought about how Lu Li was missing in the previous matches, he quickly came to a conclusion .

Floral Paralysis was being baited into a trap .

However, the two newbie analysts were explaining the situation as if they were about to see a classic match .

There were still some smart players amongst the crowd . Maybe some of them already had a good idea why Lu Li had done this .

This wasn’t a match between the top two players – Lu Li was hiding his disadvantage with the competition restrictions .

Unfortunately, no one outside was able to contact the players on the match ground . Stellar Union Silver Radiant could only watch as his fellow companion fell into the trap .

"The fame!" Square Root 3 saw what was happening too and was laughing happily at this .

Originally, he was worried when he saw Floral Paralysis match up against Lu Li . Lu Li hadn’t been as great these past few days compared to his best condition, but he used a few words to change the tide of the situation .

There were also plenty others who figured out what was happening .

Everyone had mixed feelings for this, but they were also impressed by Lu Li’s wisdom .

The match between Lu Li and Floral Paralysis began .

Both of them wielded daggers in their hands and started attacking each other as soon as they got close .

Their skills required energy, which was similar to mana, but it was slightly different . Basically, skills could not be used limitlessly, so their battle relied heavily on auto attacks .

Lu Li’s attack speed was slightly faster since he was using a level 40, Dark Gold dagger – the famous Shard of the Defiler .

However, Floral Paralysis wasn’t weak either . He was particularly good at his blocking skills, and many attacks from Lu Li were blocked by his off-hand .

Once an attack was blocked, the damage would be reduced by a certain amount .

Both players lost health at a steady rate; it was hard to predict the outcome of the match .

System: Shadow Strike 65% completion level, dealt 72% skill damage .

Lu Li’s Shadow Strike didn’t do much, and was also blocked when the skill landed . It didn’t even have a higher completion level than 80%, so it didn’t apply any effects either . This was the case for most of his other skills .

He couldn’t enter Stealth either . While he restricted his opponent, he also restricted himself too .

A lot of Thief skills required the support of Stealth mode, especially control skills . Without control skills, it would be hard for them to deal high damage .

Lu Li was hesitating if he should activate The Book of Ur .

If he transformed, he would be able to deal a large sum of damage within ten seconds .

At the same time, he would lose his hidden ace too .

Most of the main teams from big guilds like Glory Capital hadn’t been sent out yet . During this season of the Magic Cup, Peerless City was his greatest opponent . He was planning to give them a big surprise when they matched up .

"Lie down!" Floral Paralysis yelled as the radiance of a special effect flashed on his dagger .

Lu Li knew something was about to happen, but his body had already lost control as he fell backwards . He remained calm and judged that this was most likely a knockdown kind of special effect .

These special effects usually weren’t so simple; it was possible that there were other follow up effects .

As he expected, when Lu Li fell down, Floral Paralysis had already dug his dagger into Lu Li’s forehead . This was his way of using Kidney Strike .

Everyone on the audience seat saw that Floral Paralysis was dealing crazy damage to Lu Li .

The two analysts were lost for words – someone had already informed them of the truth behind the match, so now they were too ashamed to say anything .

"Looks like Lu Li is currently disadvantaged," the male analyst said, pretending to maintain his calm . "Floral Paralysis is a professional Thief player who has been around for a long time . He has been an agile player in his previous games and has forged many classic strategies . Although Lu Li has been amazing since the start of the game, he was a new player after all . . . "

"Competitions are always full of surprises . Perhaps the title of the first person can’t be owned so easily . " The female analyst didn’t hold back on her words .

It was imaginable that the forums would have a discussion about Lu Li’s tactics later, so they would most likely hear some spiteful words then . Maybe this was why they were a little upset with Lu Li and didn’t hold back on their words .

Right in this moment, Lu Li bounced up from the spot . As Floral Paralysis was sent flying, Lu Li used a Backhand Backstab to stun him .

Even if they agreed not to use Gale Steps (Stealth and escape skills were banned), equipment effects that dispelled control effects weren’t included . He didn’t use it immediately, but instead waited a bit for a more unexpected result .

After he stunned his opponent with Kidney Strike, Lu Li began dealing his damage .

"Most competitors already have their badge . "

The analysts felt rather awkward as they tried to change the topic . They began to explain how to obtain the badge to the average players .

They had only learnt about this during their training period by the hosts of the competition . Based on the politics of the analysts, these things that only went around between the master players weren’t something that they were allowed to share . Or else, the master players wouldn’t welcome them .

The more these two analysts spoke, the more mistakes they made . It wasn’t hard to imagine the downfall of their professional careers .

Since they both had a badge, Floral Paralysis wasn’t entirely at a disadvantage either . He quickly dispelled his controlled status and they clashed together once again .

It was as if they were performing martial techniques with their dagger . Even if real dagger masters came, they would probably be impressed too .

Techniques, speed, timing, damage and skill completion level – these were all factors that affected the results of this fight . Lu Li’s better equipment began to show its worth .

Floral Paralysis had lost more health than Lu Li .
