Dragon's Teeth!
Sun Xiang didn't use any fancy moves. He started with the most basic of Battle Mages.
Lord Grim dodged with a small jump and threw a Sky Strike with a backhand.
Sun Xiang hurriedly responded. The first time he had been hit with a blank space, it was because of a Sky Strike that had a lot of variations. As a result, this time, Sun Xiang didn't let One Leaf Of Autumn parry. He directly moved three units to the side and circled around Lord Grim's flank.
Lord Grim twisted his body and chased after him with a Sky Strike. At this moment, One Autumn Leaf abruptly parried the attack.
Could Sky Strike change?
It couldn't. Sky Strike's attack wasn't endless. If it kept going up and up, wouldn't that mean throwing the weapon away?
One Autumn Leaf had already pulled this Sky Strike to its limit. There wasn't much he could do to change the trajectory. Since it was like this, Sun Xiang naturally didn't avoid using his usual method to end the battle: parrying.
In reality, this wasn't just Sun Xiang's personal habit or style. Battle Mages needed to hit to accumulate Chasers. According to the system's judgement, parrying was also a type of hit, so it could also produce Chasers. As a result, Battle Mages often chose to parry. This was a choice that every Battle Mage would do their best to make.
Today's Sun Xiang was like this. Back then, Ye Xiu was also like this.
As a result, Ye Xiu was very clear that even though Sun Xiang had used a lot of dodging before, when the time came to decide the outcome, he would still use parrying. He couldn't just use dodging to replace parrying with parrying. This was because if a Battle Mage really did that, it would weaken their own fighting strength.
Parrying was mostly a defensive method for other classes. For Battle Mages, parrying was an attack within defense. When the opponent was overly concerned about the Battle Mage not generating Chasers and deliberately avoided parrying, the offensive nature of parrying would be even more obvious: it would disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
As a result, no Battle Mage would easily give up on parrying. As for Sun Xiang, the fact that he had temporarily lowered his stance and made so many dodges was already a rare thing for him. His pride wouldn't allow him to make such a drastic change. He could feel how terrifying Ye Xiu was, but he wasn't afraid. He wanted to let Ye Xiu understand how terrifying he was.
The attack and parry arrived brazenly.
This Sky Strike had already lost its effect and power. Ye Xiu obviously wouldn't hand it over to One Leaf Of Autumn to deliver a Chaser. Sky Strike stopped, and One Autumn Leaf's parry missed.
This was a good time to take advantage of the situation. The Battle Mage's parry would restrain the opponent. Would you let him parry or not?
Ye Xiu chose the latter, which gave Sun Xiang the opportunity to attack immediately.
A Falling Flower Palm arrived in front of Lord Grim.
Take the initiative to attack. Use low-level skills. Low-level skills were quick to cast. As for high-level skills, if you didn't have a proper foundation, it would be too late by the time you cast them.
Ye Xiu didn't seem to have much of a way to deal with One Leaf Of Autumn's Falling Flower Palm. In the end, Lord Grim also used a Falling Flower Palm.
The two characters' palms clapped together. Magic waves swept up a cloud of dust. Lord Grim's figure staggered backwards. How could Lord Grim compare to One Leaf Of Autumn in terms of skill priority? Moreover, this collision had given One Leaf Of Autumn a Chaser. Battle Mages had a total of five types of Chasers. They were created by Sky Strike, Dragon's Teeth, Double Stab, Falling Flower Palm, and Circle Swing. Because of the existence of Chasers, Battle Mages had a strong reliance on low-level skills.
Lord Grim had been pushed back by Falling Flower Palm, but what about One Leaf Of Autumn? Because of this, he had obtained a Fire Chaser, which Sun Xiang immediately released. One Leaf Of Autumn's arms were quickly wrapped with fiery magic waves. This was the effect of the Fire Chaser increasing his strength. And that large fireball-like Chaser was already flying towards Lord Grim's face. Sun Xiang was just about to follow up with his next attack, when he felt a flash in front of his eyes.
What was that?
Sun Xiang didn't have time to think. He could only instinctively dodge.
Too late!
The thing had come too quickly. By the time Sun Xiang realized it, he had seen a crack appear in his Fire Chaser. Something was drilling out.
Lord Grim's attack had used a Fire Chaser as a cover. How precise was his control? Sun Xiang hadn't noticed it before. By the time it had passed through the Fire Chaser and reacted, it was already too late.
Hit!
Lord Grim had actually fired a bullet. One Leaf Of Autumn, who had been hit, was instantly stunned.
This wasn't the slight stun from a normal shot. That little bit of damage was negligible for a powerful character like One Leaf Of Autumn.
This was a Stun Bullet, a low-level Spitfire skill under Level 20. Stun was its most important effect.
With a flash of the sword, the Fire Chaser was cut in half. One Leaf Of Autumn, who was stunned, was then hit by the Sword Draw.
In this exchange, One Leaf Of Autumn had clearly suffered a loss. The most substantial benefit he had received was probably the Strength buff from the Fire Chaser.
But the one who had the initiative was still Lord Grim. After the Sword Draw, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's form didn't change. A Collapsing Mountain came crashing down.
One Leaf Of Autumn hastily retreated. At the same time, he stabbed out with Evil Annihilation. He wanted to use a Circle Swing to grab Lord Grim.
Lord Grim's blade changed direction. The Collapsing Mountain couldn't hit One Leaf Of Autumn, but hit Evil Annihilation instead.
One Leaf Of Autumn received another Chaser. But who would be better at calculating the gains and losses of this Chaser than Ye Xiu? He knew which Chasers could be given and which couldn't. He wasn't the type of person who would be restrained by a Battle Mage's parry. Unfortunately, he was the one who had created this strategy.
By giving One Leaf Of Autumn a Chaser, Lord Grim had already rushed to his side.
Sun Xiang felt very uncomfortable. He originally thought that he had the situation under control, but he didn't expect that the situation would once again be out of his expectations.
Ye Xiu unexpectedly didn't use any of his openings. These few attacks were all forceful attacks.
Sun Xiang's carefully prepared responses were all for naught.
If it was just a simple fight to the death, he obviously wouldn't be afraid. In fact, the young and energetic him would have the advantage. But now, he had to be on guard against another possibility. In those areas, it was very likely that he would subconsciously be baited, so he had to be completely on guard.
At this moment, Sun Xiang's attention was completely focused, so he wouldn't be easily distracted. However, focusing so much attention on so many aspects was undoubtedly very taxing on his mind. Fortunately, Sun Xiang was young, so he could completely endure it.
Let's see who will be the last one standing!
Sun Xiang clenched his teeth and forced himself forward. He controlled One Leaf Of Autumn to attack Lord Grim. At the same time, he paid attention to the possible changes in each of Lord Grim's attacks. He was determined not to be stunned again.
The situation was deadlocked.
Both sides' health dropped to 9%, 7%, 6%, and continued to drop.
Who would be the first to reach zero?
No one could tell. At this moment, it was no longer a surprise to see who would win and who would lose. But overall, Ye Xiu, who had fallen behind in health at the start of the first match, had already won against Sun Xiang!
Unfortunately, this wasn't how the competition was judged. The true winner was the one remaining on the battlefield.
Who would it be?
Countless people in the stadium had already stood up. It was as if they couldn't see clearly if they didn't do so. But after he did so, the people behind him really couldn't see. Some people started arguing, while others followed suit. Thus, in the entire stadium, the majority of the spectators stood up.
Excellent Era's fans had even forgotten to cheer. In this tense moment, their hearts were as tense as the players on the battlefield.
Curse Arrow!
At this moment, while Lord Grim was retreating to dodge One Leaf Of Autumn's attack, he summoned a small black arrow called Curse Arrow in an attempt to delay One Leaf Of Autumn's charge.
But victory or defeat would be decided here. Curse Arrow? That wouldn't kill him. He couldn't let go of this opportunity!
One Leaf Of Autumn endured the damage. This was the advantage of having a strong character. Many times, he could be more aggressive than others because he could withstand the damage that others couldn't.
Slide Kick!
Seeing One Leaf Of Autumn rush towards him, Lord Grim didn't retreat and charged forward.
One Leaf Of Autumn jumped up, his spear grabbing towards Lord Grim's Circle Swing.
Lord Grim rolled and dodged. He crouched and opened up his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, directly shooting at Gatling Gun.
Sun Xiang was even more unyielding. One Leaf Of Autumn fell from the air, his spear trembling. Waves of magic surged from Evil Annihilation. Taking advantage of Lord Grim's dodge, he actually used Rising Dragon Soars The Sky!
Gatling Gun's bullets rained down, but compared to Rising Dragon Soars The Sky, who would die?
Sun Xiang sneered. No one had much experience dealing with unspecialized characters. But since they had already shown up and knew that they might meet, how could Excellent Era not have done any research on them?
Excellent Era didn't have a self-made weapon like the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. As for unspecialized accounts that didn't class change, after knowing that they might meet Ye Xiu and his Lord Grim in the Challenger League, Excellent Era had already started training up quite a few.
In order to deal with Ye Xiu, Excellent Era had put in a lot of effort. They had even researched a weapon like the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, but they hadn't been able to figure out how to use it. However, if Team Excellent Era didn't know how to think about how an unspecialized with such a weapon would fight, then they wouldn't be called a pro team.
Rifle Forest Machine Gun and Rising Dragon Soars The Sky trading skills was a huge loss. Ye Xiu clearly couldn't fight like this. Lord Grim hastily tried to dodge.
Want to run? Too late!!
Rising Dragon Soars The Sky swung its head, quickly twisting towards Lord Grim.
Rising Dragon Soars The Sky, Dragon Raises Its Head! The crowd finally erupted in cheers. In their eyes, this was a decisive attack.
But it wasn't. Lord Grim's movements were extremely precise, as if he had calculated Rising Dragon Soars The Sky's path. He stepped behind the dragon's head.
But at this moment, everyone saw that the dragon's head, which had been twisting towards Lord Grim, was actually moving in the opposite direction.
"Ah!!" Pan Lin yelled excitedly in the broadcast, "Dragon Raises Its Head? No, it's not just Dragon Raises Its Head, it's Dragon Turns Back!! "Pan Lin had already given a name to the new variation of Rising Dragon Soars The Sky.
"It's too amazing. This is probably a new extreme maneuver that can only be done after reaching Level 75." Li Yibo, who had always been calm and omniscient, couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Rising Dragon Soars The Sky hit! This is a new technique, Dragon Turns Back! Team Excellent Era is worthy of being the team with the Battle God. They represent the highest level of Battle Mages in Glory. In this match, we've seen two new variations of Battle Mages. " Pan Lin yelled. Just as he was about to announce victory, he saw that Lord Grim hadn't died after being hit by Rising Dragon Soars The Sky. He had actually used Guard to block the attack.
But there was a limit to how much damage a Guard could block. Rising Dragon Soars The Sky wasn't something he could completely avoid. Lord Grim, who had used Guard, was pushed back by the attack, sliding directly in front of One Leaf Of Autumn. However, his health hadn't reached its end. The broadcast quickly zoomed in on him. 0.03%. Lord Grim's remaining health was only displayed after two decimal places. One Leaf Of Autumn could probably kill him with a single punch from Evil Annihilation.
However, One Leaf Of Autumn was still in the middle of the ending animation of Rising Dragon Soars The Sky. Even if Sun Xiang's mechanics were a thousand times better, he still wouldn't be able to react in time.
Lord Grim had been sent in front of Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn. He only had 0.03% of his health left, but he had made the decisive attack.
The stadium was silent. Pan Lin could only open his mouth wide. In this instant, he had no words to describe what he was seeing.
Such a brilliant and beautiful Rising Dragon Soars The Sky, Dragon Turns Back, hadn't killed the opponent. Instead, it had brought the opponent in front of him, bringing him to the gallows?
Pan Lin had already thought of what to say next.
Sun Xiang had used an attack that was even more brilliant and beautiful than Ye Xiu's Rising Dragon Soars The Sky, Dragon Turns Back, to kill Ye Xiu. What a good metaphor, what a good exchange between the old and the new. This match could have been a perfect ending to this match. It would have become a classic moment that all Glory players would talk about with delight!
But now, it was all gone!
Lord Grim had only used Block. Even though using it from behind was a bit difficult, in the end, it was only a Level 20 and under skill. How could it compare to the brilliance of that Dragon Turns Back?
0.03%！
It was that 0.03%, a health bar that could have been lost in any exchange, but it had been saved until the very end. If it hadn't been for that, even with that Block, as long as Lord Grim had been killed, the classic wouldn't have been rewritten.
But now, everything was different.
The sixth match of the Challenger League finals, the victors, Happy, Ye Xiu, Lord Grim.
Yes, Lord Grim.
