Cast!
Without any hesitation, Crying Devil's blade began to flash.
Don't look at how the two were chatting and rolling for points in the chat. In reality, the two had been carefully controlling their characters the entire time, using their rich experience to judge each other's movements.
The instant Li Xuan stopped chatting, he had already realized that Lord Grim was nearby. Without any hesitation, he had Crying Devil summon a Ghost Boundary.
But halfway through his cast, Lord Grim's figure suddenly flashed in front of him.
So fast!
Li Xuan was shocked. Lord Grim had come a little faster than he had expected. Could he cast it in the middle of his cast?
Bang!
Lord Grim opened fire, the bullet flying straight at him.
No!
Li Xuan instantly made a precise decision, canceling his Ghost Boundary. Sobbing Ghost dodged the spear with a leap, and his Silver weapon, Four Heavenly Wheels, circled around him, summoning an afterimage.
Afterimage was a Ghostblade's armor skill. It reduced damage based on the number of times it was used within a minute. In a direct confrontation, and against an experienced opponent like Ye Xiu, Li Xuan didn't have Crying Devil summon another Ghost Boundary. After summoning an afterimage, he immediately retreated.
Lord Grim had come faster than he had expected, but it wasn't that simple to determine the outcome of the battle. Crying Devil quickly retreated, and in just a few steps, he had already darted around the corner. Without any hesitation, he cast again.
Crying Devil's cast speed was extremely fast. Li Xuan believed that with just movement alone, Lord Grim wouldn't be able to appear in front of him so quickly and interrupt his cast. But this time, with a loud boom, the corner in front of Crying Devil was hit by Lord Grim's cannon. A crater instantly appeared, and the rubble of the wall flew everywhere. Crying Devil, who was right in front of him, couldn't come out unscathed.
Interrupt!
Lord Grim hadn't even seen Crying Devil, yet he had used this attack to interrupt Crying Devil's cast.
This was a showdown between top experts.
The two of them had been searching for each other, and now they were attacking and defending. Everything they had done was based on their instincts. Except for the shot that Lord Grim had used to interrupt their spellcasting, the two of them had not seen each other's actions at all. This was completely a battle of consciousness.
Retreat!
Once again interrupted, Li Xuan had no choice but to retreat. Sobbing Devil continued to run madly backwards, and with the map he had chosen, he didn't even need to look to know what the streets would be like. But before he could take two steps, Li Xuan heard another gunshot. Then, he heard the sound of mechanical rotors rotating.
They were coming from above!
Li Xuan hurriedly raised his character's camera, and Crying Devil's positioning changed.
In the end, what the audience saw was Lord Grim using Aerial Fire to move, and the Rotor Wings that he deployed were only flying at a low altitude.
Too cunning!
The stadium was filled with gasps. Ye Xiu had used the sound effects of Lord Grim's two skills to intentionally confuse Li Xuan's judgment. And in reality, Lord Grim had still been chasing after him on flat ground. Suddenly, he had turned the corner and attacked in a straight line.
And because Li Xuan had to defend against air attacks, he had chosen to take a different turn. Now that he was suddenly facing Lord Grim, who was charging straight at him, he suddenly felt a little awkward.
Run!
Seeing the distance between the two of them, Li Xuan knew that he still didn't have the chance to cast, so he could only run and find a new position.
But this time, it wasn't so easy for him to escape. When Lord Grim used his movement skills, the burst of speed wasn't something a Ghostblade could match.
The bullets flying from afar soon turned into the glint of a knife slashing at his body.
Li Xuan immediately realized that Lord Grim's "faster than he had expected" appearance might have been the deciding factor in this match!
Because of that step, he had been forced into a passive position. Ye Xiu hadn't given him a chance to set up a Ghost Boundary. And now, he had successfully closed in. In this match, as the number one Ghost Boundary, Crying Devil hadn't been able to set up a single Ghost Boundary.
Wasn't this too laughable?
Earthquake Sword!
Crying Devil suddenly turned around and sent out a Wave Sword at Lord Grim, who was attacking from behind.
Lord Grim jumped lightly and dodged.
Moonlight Slash, Full Moonlight Slash!
Two consecutive slashes.
"Stop struggling!" Ye Xiu had Lord Grim dodge as he sent this message into the channel. It was clear that this wave of attacks wasn't much of a threat.
But Crying Devil had already begun to cast, trying to forcefully summon a Ghost Boundary.
But Ye Xiu ignored him, and Lord Grim charged forward!
The Ghost Boundary fell.
Crying Devil had actually succeeded in summoning a Ghost Boundary, but …
Sword Boundary … A Sword Boundary that strengthened a character's Strength and Intelligence. This clearly didn't have any direct binding effect on the opponent. At the same time that the Sword Boundary formed, Lord Grim's blade had already reached his head.
"You're just being stubborn!" Ye Xiu sighed.
"Yeah, if you can't even set up a single Ghost Boundary, that's just too ridiculous …" Li Xuan said.
He had set up a Sword Boundary, and it was also the only Ghost Boundary that he had successfully cast in this match, but it hadn't had any significant impact on the battle. After that, Crying Devil was tightly stuck to Lord Grim and didn't have another chance, until he was defeated.
Ye Xiu had taken the first victory, and it looked like he had won very easily. The so-called number one Phantom Demon didn't seem to be able to threaten him at all. But a true expert wouldn't see it that way.
This round was really a round where one move would determine the winner. Right now, Lord Grim was stuck to Crying Devil, so it looked like he had won easily. But if Crying Devil had used the first Ghost Boundary to trap Lord Grim, perhaps everyone would have seen Lord Grim being easily killed by Crying Devil in a chain of Ghost Boundaries.
And to be able to reach this point, the countless previous actions of both sides were the key. The essence of this match was that sort of judgment that had been made without even seeing the opponent's face. But for too many spectators, what was there to see in this scene where there was no fighting or killing?
Void's fans were clearly dissatisfied with Li Xuan's performance. But he was their captain, their core, so everyone still gave him face. When Li Xuan came down from the stage, there was still a bit of scattered applause. But Void's so-called "rhythm of a comeback" had truly been unfavorable at the start. The first point was gone. Void's originally lively and crazy home stadium had only been a few minutes, but it had already become somewhat depressing.
At this stage, every single point was very precious.
Quite a few spectators were watching the match in front of them, while listening to the news of the other matches. If Void wanted to enter the playoffs, they couldn't rely on their own efforts alone. They needed the other teams to be a bit worse in order to make way for them.
And when their first individual competition ended, news of the other matches also came in.
Team Wind Howl was leading Thunder 1-0 in the individual competition. Hundred Blossoms defeated Misty Rain 1-0. 301 Degrees defeated Miracle 1-0.
Everyone was winning. Only Void had lost a point.
Was there no hope?
Everyone silently watched the second pair of players go up on stage. Their applause was somewhat stiff. Losing a point was as painful as losing ten points for Void's fans. Even if they felt that their second opponent had a higher chance of winning, they couldn't raise their spirits too much.
The second individual competition, Happy Luo Ji, versus Void's Ge Caijie.
These two players weren't too different in age. In the pro scene, they were both considered juniors. But Luo Ji had only just started practicing, while Ge Caijie had already revealed his potential as a general last season, becoming a very important member of Void.
Ge Caijie calmly entered the player booth. As for Luo Ji? His calm appearance was only to hide his nervousness.
It could be said that he had braced himself for this match, and he had been nervous since yesterday. Even now, it still hadn't disappeared. He didn't know when he would be able to get rid of this nervousness. He only knew that after realizing that Happy's current situation was a bit grim, his heart began to beat even faster.
Unfortunately, the referee didn't care about this. After seeing the two players enter the player booths, he signaled for the characters to load. Soon, the second individual competition began.
His characters loaded onto the map. Luo Ji immediately looked at the map.
Village. The scenery wasn't bad. There was even a ray of morning light floating on the horizon. There was a large road in the middle of the map. At the end of the road, he could see Ge Caijie's Blue Exorcist steadily walking over, not too fast or too slow.
Luo Ji immediately had Concealed Light circle around and hide behind a straw hut. He still didn't have the confidence to face any pro player face to face, so he stuck to his strategy every match. The home game map was much smoother, but in an away game, facing a map that he didn't understand, he could only panic even more.
Unfortunately, this map was one that Luo Ji didn't understand. After temporarily hiding Concealed Light, Luo Ji didn't know what to do next.
Luo Ji had Concealed Light sneak a peek at the road, only to find that Blue Exorcist had disappeared. He didn't know what to do.
Go out?
Just wait here?
Being a two-way player, Luo Ji was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Luo Ji's calculation ability was quite good, but his opponent had only been moving at a moderate speed, making it impossible for him to determine how fast his opponent would be. Especially now that his opponent had chosen to move strategically, Luo Ji had no way of knowing which part of the village he was hiding in.
It seemed like he could only deal with the situation as usual.
Luo Ji began to set up his formation. He definitely wasn't a player who didn't use his brain. Since he wasn't familiar with the entire map, then he would have to understand a part of it. Then, he would use this part of the map as a battlefield and make full use of everything here.
Luo Ji had Concealed Light quickly and carefully explore this small corner of the map.
The civet was the first to be released. It was sent to hide in a patch of grass in the front.
Afterwards, the Devil World Flower was planted behind a tree. Blue Exorcist probably wouldn't be able to see it from the direction he was coming from.
Afterwards, the Wyvern and Thunder Eagle flew to the roofs of the two grass huts on the left and right.
Afterwards, Concealed Light entered the grass hut on the left. The hut didn't have any windows, so Luo Ji had Concealed Light use his staff to poke a hole in the hut.
The entire audience was stunned.
Wasn't this supposed to be a fighting game? How did it end up like this?
