Close Combat?
Speaking of which, the Summoner's weapon, Magic Staff, had a very fast attack speed, usually 9 to 10. Because of this, the Battle Mage School had developed a faction that specialized in the use of wands. They relied on magic to increase the power of their wands. As for Summoners, their close combat abilities were basically zero. If they were to rely on themselves, they could only use the Vine Spike skill that any class could use and the Whip skill that was mainly used to strengthen summoned beasts. However, these were clearly not enough.
As a result, some Summoners would choose to learn some of the Battle Mage's basic skills, such as Dragon's Teeth, Falling Flower Palm, and Circle Swing, which were all very practical. This allowed Summoners to at least have a few life-saving skills in case of an accident.
However, skill points were precious. Summoners were very reluctant to spend too much on these skills, so now, there was a more simple and practical method: add a skill to the weapon.
Teleport!
An Elementalist's high-level skill was without a doubt a powerful escape skill, and Li Yuan's Eight Notes had chosen this method. Seeing Deception suddenly charge forward and instantly kill the Devil World Flower, he didn't hesitate to use Teleport.
Teleport was an instant skill. This type of skill couldn't be interrupted, but because the time it took to cast was extremely short, interrupting it was very difficult. In a situation where Deception hadn't closed in yet, interrupting it was practically impossible.
Thump …
The sound of electricity crackling could be heard. There was only a trace of magic left, and Eight Notes had been teleported several units away.
But, Flame Cut!
The flames swept towards Eight Notes. Li Yuan looked over there. Deception was clearly still there, but how had the attack reached Eight Notes?
Shadow Clone Technique …
Meeting a Ninja was Li Yuan's tragedy. The Instant Movement technique can indeed open up the distance in an instant, but the ninjas can also complete the pursuit in an instant by using the Shadow Clone Jutsu. A Summoner's Teleport could only be at level one, so the distance they could move was the shortest.
Li Yuan didn't ignore the fact that Deception was a Ninja, but he had no choice. He had chosen to use Teleport, so he could only try and see if Mo Fan's reaction speed was fast enough to catch up. Unfortunately, Mo Fan managed to catch up to him. Not only was he good at hiding, he was also good at tracking him down.
Shadow Clone Technique didn't allow Deception to get close to Eight Notes, but this Flame Slash, which had a bit of range, was enough to hit Eight Notes.
Eight Notes rolled over.
Summoners only lacked close combat skills, but they didn't lack basic movements like normal characters. Many confident Summoners would choose to rely on their positioning to avoid attacks. It was more economical than using Teleport on their weapons.
However, in the pro circle, no Summoner would choose this most economical method. Because in this circle, they didn't have any noobs to bully. Just relying on dodging alone wasn't enough to block a pro-level attack. Eight Notes was now dodging. This was the sorrow of being cornered.
Shining Cut!
Mo Fan followed up with a low-level Assassin skill. In a flash, Deception closed the distance between them.
Ninjutsu – Empty Cicada Double Kill!
Originally, after the ninjato was unsheathed, it would attack together with the scabbard, crisscrossing and attacking enemies from the left and right. However, in Glory, there was a lot of freedom. There was only one opponent, so there was no need to attack both sides. Deception's Empty Cicada Double Slash had both the ninjato and scabbard stabbing towards Eight Notes.
Once the attack hit, the attack immediately began. Against a Summoner, Mo Fan didn't need to go all out. After two or three moves, Eight Notes was forced under a rock.
Even if a summoner was being attacked, it was impossible to interrupt the summoner's command of the summoned beast. However, if they wanted to command their summons, the Summoner had to be in their line of sight. At this moment, Deception had forced Eight Notes into a corner, causing him to lose a good portion of his vision. Afterwards, Deception's attacks caused Eight Notes' character to sway and sway in his line of sight. The television broadcast cut to Li Yuan's point of view, and it was a horrible sight. The summoned beasts that were moving freely in the distance were all cut off from his point of view, intermittently appearing and disappearing. Li Yuan tried very hard to command the summoned beasts to come back and rescue him under such conditions.
"Contestant Mo Fan looks like he has a lot of experience against Summoners!" Li Yibo said, a bit surprised. He was just a rookie, and this season, Mo Fan hadn't appeared on stage that many times, but right now, he was displaying an extremely skilled skill against Summoners.
Offstage, Happy was in the player area. Looking at Li Yuan's point of view, Luo Ji's expression was one of regret.
Why was Mo Fan so familiar with Summoners? Because the team had them! In terms of skill level, there was a difference between Luo Ji and Mo Fan, but Mo Fan never looked down on his opponents being weak. Every time they sparred, he would be serious. Luo Ji had been beaten thousands of times. How familiar was Li Yuan's point of view? When he had dueled with Mo Fan, who knew how many times he had been forced into a corner like this.
However, Luo Ji's Concealed Light was a Four Beast Style, so he mainly used four Summons. Right now, Li Yuan needed to control more than ten Summons. Luo Ji couldn't help but feel like he was facing a common enemy. For a moment, he actually began to worry for Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was obviously in a lot of pain. Now that he was being closed in, he definitely wouldn't have any time to cast Summons. With the rock blocking his back, he couldn't control the Summons in that area. Right now, there were a total of seven Summons in his point of view, but under Mo Fan's constant attacks, it was extremely difficult for him to control them.
However, the audience could still see three Summons coming over to protect him. Even under these restrictions, Li Yuan was still able to control his Summons three times. This was how high the level of a pro player was.
However, there were only three of them …
When the audience saw the three Summons rushing over, they all felt a moment of silence. The Summon Army relied on numbers to win, but it could be seen that their individual combat strength wasn't too high. Whether it was Attack, Defense, or HP, the Summons' stats weren't outstanding. What was special about the Summons was that they could survive for a long time, and their attacks had a chance to produce Elemental effects. However, for the Summons, they would be instantly killed by the player in just two or three hits. How could the Summons rushing over be of any help? Especially since Li Yuan had no way of properly deploying them.
Li Yuan seemed to be well aware of this point. He didn't treat Mo Fan as an opponent that could be messed up by a few Summons. The three Summons didn't immediately rush over to attack. They stopped at the position Li Yuan had indicated beforehand, and stared blankly. And this was the position that Li Yuan was most comfortable with. Faced with Mo Fan's torment, he finally made some arrangements.
"Not bad, Li Yuan is very cautious. Don't just look at how he's taking a beating right now. Just based on how he's reacting right now, you can see how well Blue Rain's players are able to defend," Li Yibo praised.
Outside of the stadium, Luo Ji's eyes also lit up at this moment. Happy was sitting in the player area. He could see the brilliance of Li Yuan's rhythm. The three Summons automatically attacked, but that was just adding fuel to the fire. It didn't have any effect at all. However, he had placed the three Summons in a convenient position, and this position was connected to the position of the other Summons.
Mo Fan's attack was mainly to disrupt the stability of Li Yuan's view, but now, no matter which direction Li Yuan's view was destroyed, Li Yuan would have a choice. With his hand speed, as long as he had a choice, it wouldn't be a problem for him to make a move.
Sure enough, another Great Summon in the distance was controlled, and began to come back to save him.
"It's a Fire Spirit!" Pan Lin said.
"Mm … After all, Li Yuan didn't have a choice. If he had a choice, I think he would prioritize an Ice Spirit or a Light Spirit," Li Yibo said.
The Fire Spirit's attack was a Fire Blade, a close-range attack. The Ice Spirit's Falling Ice and the Light Spirit's Lightning were both long-range attacks. At this moment, there was a chance for them to freeze or paralyze, making it easier for Eight Notes to escape. Although the Fire Spirit's attack was powerful, if it tried to get close, it would be easily beaten up by Deception and Eight Notes.
"Let's see what Li Yuan will do," Li Yibo said.
"The Summons don't have much time left," Pan Lin said.
The broadcast immediately showed the Summons' health bars. Because they were summoned one after the other, it didn't matter. The ones that were too far away couldn't be taken care of, but the three closest to them only had nine seconds left, while the other two had fourteen and nineteen seconds left.
The Great Summons' health bars were two minutes long, so they weren't too worried about disappearing. However, with only nine seconds left, it didn't seem like this Little Summon would be able to contribute anything.
Li Yuan had clearly noticed this point. The opportunity had come to the three Summons. He immediately ordered the Summons to charge over. Rather than disappearing, it was better to cause some trouble.
This was an Ice Summon. The Summons' attacks all had to be close. Although there was a chance for them to attack, the chances were much lower than the Great Summons. The little spirit floated over, but Mo Fan didn't pay much attention to it. However, when it was about to reach him, he suddenly used the Head Binding Spell. Eight Notes was thrown over his shoulder onto the ground, crashing into the little Ice Spirit. Then, he followed up with a Flame Slash, slashing both the little Ice Spirit and Eight Notes. The little Ice Spirit disappeared just like that. As for Eight Notes? Li Yuan took advantage of this opportunity and continued to stubbornly operate. With one Little Summon gone, two more Little Summons rushed over. Together with the two from before and a Great Summon, they finally surrounded him.
"Is this enough?" Pan Lin called out. His voice was a bit worried. This was because everyone could see that Mo Fan was an expert at dodging. These Little Summons wouldn't last long. If Mo Fan really tried to deal with them, they would all disappear one by one.
"There's no other way," Li Yibo sighed. Time was passing. Summons had time bars, which was very disadvantageous. Li Yuan couldn't continue to wait.
One Big Summon and four Small Summons, five Summons surrounded him. Deception dodged.
"As expected!" Pan Lin called out. Mo Fan planned on stalling for time. The sprites that were surrounding him missed him all of a sudden.
But …
"It's Sacrifice! Summon Sacrifice! "Li Yibo called out.
