A Sealing Talisman that didn't deal any damage had an overpowered effect that lasted up to one minute.
What did one minute mean in Glory?
A one-on-one battle where the opponent was one-on-one would usually end within one minute. And in a battle of equal skill, it would depend on each player's style and playstyle. The amount of time it would take wasn't always the same, but if it was a direct confrontation, it would usually take three minutes or more to determine the victor.
The individual matches that Ye Xiu played in were all like this. This match was the same with Ge Caijie. After testing each other out at the start of the match, the two characters began fighting fiercely.
Talismans were a unique battle method for Exorcists. They could directly use talismans to attack, or they could stick the talisman onto a weapon, giving the weapon the damage and effect of the talisman. They could even stick the talisman onto a weapon and then use "Spirit Guidance" to throw the weapon out, creating a long-range talisman attack.
Just now, Ge Caijie had suddenly stuck the talisman onto his scythe at the last moment, giving the attack a talisman effect. But whether it was ice or fire, Lord Grim's parry had been successful. If it didn't hit, the talisman wouldn't have any effect. However, Ge Caijie's talisman just happened to be a Sealing Talisman.
The Sealing Talisman's effect was to prepare. In this attack, Lord Grim's parry had delivered Ge Caijie's intended target to him.
It sounded quite simple.
However, when the Spirit Guidance scythe was used, the opponent's attack had to be blocked, and the talisman had to be applied in the instant of contact. This wasn't a simple maneuver.
Ye Xiu had been hit. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had been sealed and couldn't be used.
Being unable to use meant that the equipment's stats would be temporarily reduced, as if the equipment didn't exist. As for equipment with special effects, their effects would be completely erased.
Currently, sealing weapons or sealing shoes was considered to be the most cost-effective way to use them.
The majority of a character's attack power came from their weapons, while the majority of a character's movement power came from their shoes. As a result, these two pieces of equipment were prioritized by both players and the pro scene. This was because these two pieces of equipment determined a character's strengths and weaknesses.
Sealing weapons was the same as pulling out the opponent's teeth. Sealing shoes was the same as breaking the opponent's legs.
And now, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had been sealed. For Lord Grim, this wasn't as simple as pulling out a tooth. After being hit by the Forbidden Talisman, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's ability to change forms was also restricted.
It was said that Exorcists countered Lord Grim because the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's greatest characteristic was that it could be frozen in front of an Exorcist.
And the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was the true source of headaches for Ye Xiu and Lord Grim in the pro scene. And now, in front of Ge Caijie, this problem was solved. For one minute, Lord Grim only held a fixed weapon with no stats.
"Well done!" Even Ye Xiu couldn't help but acknowledge Ge Caijie's brilliance.
"Thank you." Ge Caijie thanked him, but he didn't hold back at all. He had to make good use of the one minute effect. The Forbidden Talisman had a cooldown of seven minutes. In an individual match, there was no second chance to use it. This was why Ge Caijie had been so cautious at the start. He couldn't afford to waste this skill.
His scythe swung down at high speed again, while his other hand was ready to throw out a talisman. This was the fighting style of a high-level Exorcist. Sticking the talisman onto the weapon and then attacking was what normal players would do. Pro players, more often than not, would attack first. When they felt that their attack was 90% certain to hit, they would suddenly stick the talisman onto the weapon. This way, they could save on talisman skills, and at the same time, their attacks could be varied.
The scythe swung down, but there was a flash of light in front of him.
Sword Draw?
Ge Caijie saw it clearly. When it was sealed, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was in sword form. Now, it could only use sword-type skills.
However, without the weapon's stats, the skill itself, whether it was damage, attack speed, or priority, would all be greatly reduced. This type of skill could be considered non-existent.
Break!
Blue Exorcist didn't try to dodge. This Sword Draw, whether it hit him or hit him, would only shatter into fragments of sword light. It wasn't worth defending against. Without the weapon's stats, he was too insignificant.
Ge Caijie was certain of this, but when the sword light hit him, much faster than his attack, Ge Caijie realized that something wasn't right.
A sealed weapon's attack speed was equivalent to 0. Even the Sword Draw, which was known for its speed, shouldn't have this kind of attack speed right now …..
Ge Caijie didn't have time to think. Blue Exorcist's body couldn't help but lean backwards.
This was the impact of the Sword Draw! This was also the power that Ge Caijie thought that the Sword Draw shouldn't have in this situation …..
Could it be …..
There was only one possibility!
Ge Caijie's eyes widened. He saw Lord Grim's hand shake. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had already transformed into a spear, and a Dragon's Teeth came stabbing over.
How?
Ge Caijie was astonished. He hadn't been able to dodge this Dragon's Teeth and had been hit.
"You don't need to be so surprised, right?" Ye Xiu said. He used a Sky Strike, and Blue Exorcist was knocked into the air.
But Ge Caijie lived up to his reputation as a young player who was known for his steadiness and calmness. Despite his astonishment, he still managed to calm himself down. The airborne Blue Exorcist quickly stuck a talisman onto it, and Spirit Guidance threw out a scythe.
Lightning Talisman!
The scythe flew out, carrying this talisman, and lightning instantly blossomed from the scythe. Lord Grim couldn't continue to attack Blue Exorcist from this position, so he could only dodge first.
Blue Exorcist landed on the ground, and his scythe returned to his hand. He turned around and stared at Lord Grim. More accurately, he stared at the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in Lord Grim's hands.
Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, spear form.
"This ….. isn't the one from before ….." Ge Caijie saw through it.
"Yeah, you guys call yourselves nemesis. If I didn't take any precautions, wouldn't I be too stupid?" Ye Xiu smiled.
"Two Myriad Manifestations Umbrellas ….." Ge Caijie was a bit speechless. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of this possibility, but wasn't Happy quite poor? Even though the technical teams of the various teams didn't know how the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was made, they all knew that it was definitely extremely luxurious. With such a Silver weapon, how could Happy make a backup when he didn't have much money? If it was just to counter the Exorcist's Seal Talisman, then it really was luxurious. But thinking about it from another perspective, even though they weren't able to suppress Happy on the battlefield, they had at least increased the burden on him. If they made another luxurious weapon like this, then who knew how many pieces of Silver equipment the other characters would have. It could also suppress Happy's strength.
Just as Ge Caijie was thinking this, he saw Ye Xiu continue, "Yeah, two Myriad Manifestations Umbrellas, one Level 70, one Level 5."
Ge Caijie stared blankly.
"Using a Level 5 weapon to fight really is tough! That's why I'm so worried. How can you be so calm? Next time, be more generous and directly use the Seal Talisman on you, "Ye Xiu said.
This time, Ge Caijie could only bitterly smile.
So the other side had just casually made a Level 5 weapon to fool him. This really was …..
But Ye Xiu said that he had been using a Level 5 weapon the entire time? Ge Caijie wouldn't believe this. A Level 5 weapon, he would have long since noticed that there was something wrong with the damage. So Ye Xiu had actually secretly switched equipment at some point, just like in the end, when he switched back to the real Myriad Manifestations Umbrella after being hit by the Seal Talisman. Ge Caijie hadn't noticed at all.
"It looks like the Seal Talisman was able to hit you because you purposely exposed an opening," Ge Caijie said.
"Trying to sell you an opening is as difficult as finding one," Ye Xiu admitted.
"If that's the case, then why ….." Ge Caijie said.
"You'll find out soon enough," Ye Xiu said. Lord Grim charged forward.
As expected, Ge Caijie immediately found out.
He knew how restrained Ye Xiu had been before because of the Seal Talisman. Ge Caijie was a bit regretful now. If he hadn't used the Seal Talisman and kept it as a deterrent, this match might have been a lot easier! But now? The Seal Talisman had been used, but it didn't have any effect. Ye Xiu was truly too frightening when he went all out …..
Ge Caijie tried his best to parry, but one after another, even God-level players, had already fallen to Ye Xiu's Lord Grim. Ge Caijie realized that he couldn't do better than them. He could have relied on his class, because his class had a skill that made the other side wary.
Exorcists were really Lord Grim's nemesis, right? But if he wanted to use his nemesis, he didn't necessarily have to use that skill! When the skill didn't have any effect, the nemesis would be useless. After all, this was a big move that could only be used once every seven minutes.
"Look, if I didn't let you use the Seal Talisman, how tired would I be?" Ye Xiu said. Lord Grim had already delivered the final blow.
"I understand ….." Ge Caijie replied. Blue Exorcist fell after being hit by an unstoppable blow.
In the first round of the individual competition, Happy won. Ye Xiu had won 13 consecutive rounds of individual competition.
Was he going to announce his strong comeback like this? Some people were discussing this.
But wasn't this too shameless? Which top core player would fight in the individual competition instead of the group arena? Some people thought this.
Yes, the top players of each team, such as Zhou Zekai, Huang Shaotian, and Wang Jiexi, would often appear in the group arena to fight for that extra two points. They would occasionally appear in the individual competition, but they weren't like Ye Xiu, who treated the individual competition as the main battlefield.
And so, just like that, he won consecutively.
"He's bullying the weak!" someone shouted indignantly.
Those who heard this had mixed feelings. Were they haters or fans? Bullying the weak? What did he think of those famous pro players that Ye Xiu had defeated?
