Chapter 554
The five players of Peerless City felt hopeless .
Besides Green Flag Wine, who was a plate armour Paladin, and Vegetarian Mosquito, who was a mail armour Hunter, the other three players were all cloth armour classes . Green Flag Wine wasn’t even a main tank, but an off-healer Paladin . Their current line-up was too squishy to compete with Ruling Sword .
Lu Li had identified this weakness from the very start of the match .
Although they had insane DPS and a healer that was extremely difficult to kill, they lacked players that could tank and receive damage for them . Once Deadly Golden Underwear was taken care of, their whole team fell apart completely .
Green Flag Wine had no choice but to stand guard at the choke point in case of a surprise attack from Ruling Sword .
Vegetarian Mosquito has a pet called Xiuma which had the ability to reveal Stealthed targets . However, since it was raining and wet everywhere, the black lion couldn’t be summoned .
Vegetarian Mosquito casted Flare, but it only revealed a small area .
"I bet Lu Li is right besides us as we speak," Vegetarian Mosquito said in a deep voice as he wiped away the rain on his face .
They could see Moonlight and the other players from Ruling Swords approaching them slowly . Lu Li was the only player missing from the enemy team .
"Be careful – if Lu Li appears, then everyone jump on him and send him out immediately," Green Flag Wine said .
"He wouldn’t reveal himself if he was alone, would he?" Half Cigarette asked nervously . Mages were the most vulnerable to Thieves, so he was terrified of the idea that a top-level Thief was lurking beside him . Even his idol, Sorrowless, had been completely outplayed by Lu Li .
"Stop talking so softly; we’re talking in our own voice chat . " Green Flag Wine was annoyed that his teammates were being overly careful and scared .
They had to put up a fight, even if it was impossible to win . If an athlete feared losing before the race even started, then all the training and hard work they put in would be useless .
"I… I understand . " After being scolded, Half a Cigarette randomly casted Arcane Missiles into a nearby bush, nearly hitting Lu Li .
Lu Li saw the Arcane Magic flash before him and thought that he was playing against an expert with ridiculous game sense .
He had come so close to being hit by the Arcane Missiles . If he didn’t stop to observe his opponents, he definitely would have been revealed . Fortunately, Lu Li knew that he was an ordinary Mage because of Fat Monkey’s past experience .
Lu Li backed off and decided to stay away from Half a Cigarette,
Moonlight and the others continued to approach Peerless City slowly . The players of Peerless City immediately casted all of their ranged skills as soon as they were in range .
Numerous damage and crowd-control skills landed in the bushes in front of them . However, Moonlight and the others stopped at a distance of 20 yards, then slowly ran away .
Why were they running away?
Twenty yards was the distance that most offensive and control skills could not reach .
Peerless City thought about chasing them, but changed their minds .
Running away without reason was definitely one of Lu Li’s cunning strategies .
Aided by the distraction from his teammates, Lu Li managed to make his way to where Peerless City was camping at . He was Stealthed nearby in an unexpected hiding spot, in case Half a Cigarette randomly casted Arcane Missiles again .
His target was Chanelle, but before that, he had to greet the Mage who rudely tried to interrupt his plans .
Sap!
Accounting for Moonlight and other’s distance and movement speed, Lu Li sent out his signal to his teammates while casting Sap on Half a Cigarette .
There was yet another face off between the two powerhouse PVP guilds .
Peerless City’s morale was lower than ever with their backs against a wall .
Half a Cigarette tried casting his skills, but realised that he was unable to move . Although he was a bit new, he was no noob and immediately knew that he had been hit with Sap .
Lu Li!
The Mage’s worst nightmare finally appeared, and he was terrified . However, he had be training and preparing for this very moment and used his trinket to remove the Sap, then retaliated with Arcane Blast .
Although his decision was correct, the skill still missed .
Lu Li’s target had been Chanelle from the very start and he had no intention of attacking the substitute Mage .
Half a Cigarette realised that he had been Sapped and immediately informed his teammates on voice chat .
However, Lu Li was faster than the wind, and before Chanelle could react, she had already been hit with Ambush .
Backstab! Backhanded Backstab!
Lu Li’s Shoulders had a special effect – Backhanded Backstab +1 . With this special effect, his skill was above the cap at level 6 .
Out of all the ultimate skills, Backhanded Backstab dealt the most damage in the game .
-412HP!
More than 400 points of damage appeared above Chanelle’s head, and everyone in the audience was left speechless .
Chanelle calmly used her trinket which allowed her to transform into a Demon . This was similar to the Demonology Warlock ultimate skill and increased the damage of demonology skills, as well as defence for a short time .
Lu Li did not expect her to have a trinket like this .
How could Lu Li not know of this? Had Peerless City been hiding a trump card like this the whole time?
In reality, Chanelle had received this trinket the night before the tournament . This was the first time she had use it in a tournament setting .
The Warlock skill made her impossible to kill, at least for now .
Lu Li decisively changed his target onto the Mage that he had sapped before .
At the same time, he had to endure the massive amounts of damage that the Demon-form Chanelle was dealing to him . He immediately activated his defence effects, and March Rain made it in time to heal him .
The most vulnerable player on Peerless City was the Mage .
Professional Healer was a high-health Priest, Green Wine Flag was difficult to deal with and Vegetarian Mosquito was a Survival Hunter . The only squishy target left was the substitute Mage .
Lu Li was like the light that illuminated his team’s path . Whoever he attacked, would be piled onto by the rest of the players .
Fat Monkey reacted the same as Lu Li as soon as Chanelle transformed into a Demon . He immediately switched onto the Mage that he had lost to before, excited to get his revenge .
Half a Cigarette’s HP dropped extremely quickly under the focus of Ruling Sword .
Fat Monkey’s item level was the lowest in Ruling Sword, and Half a Cigarette’s was even lower than him . Even the healing from Professional Healer wasn’t enough to keep him alive for long .
Chanelle continued to attack Lu Li, but couldn’t even bring his HP down to half . With March Rain’s expert healing, there was no chance of anyone killing Lu Li at this point, especially with all the Gold and Dark Gold equips on him .
The second match-up sent Half a Cigarette out of the arena .
Peerless City had lost another player, and even though the rest of their team was formidable, it was too late for them to turn the game around .
The match between Peerless City and Ruling Swords had been stalled out for a long time . Ruling Sword ended up taking the victory and with this win, the champion of the Magic Cup was finally determined .
