The runes of the spell flickered, instantly forming a prison. Lu Hanwen had been in too much of a hurry. By the time he saw Yu Wenzhou's warning, it was already too late. Drifting Cloud was instantly locked in place by the Hexagram Prison.
Seeing that the skill had hit, Wei Chen let out a small sigh of relief. This kid, who was already an All Star at such a young age, wasn't just for show. If he hadn't taken advantage of the terrain so thoroughly, he really wouldn't have been able to shake this kid off so easily.
Hexagram Prison, Glory's number one restriction skill, max level 75, had a duration of nine seconds. What was even more frightening was that this curse couldn't be dispelled. It wasn't a status skill, so Purify, Expel, Focus, and so on were all ineffective. Similarly, no matter how high a character's Spirit was, or how good their resistances were, there was no way to break out of the Hexagram Prison early.
If you wanted to break out of the Hexagram Prison before the skill's duration was up, there was only one way: kill the caster. But this clearly wasn't possible right now. Lu Hanwen's Drifting Cloud was locked in this nine-second Hexagram Prison.
For Wei Chen, these nine seconds were extremely precious. He could finally shake off this youth who had been chasing him for nine seconds. But it didn't look like he could relax. Yu Wenzhou's Swoksaar was already moving.
Eight years.
It had been a full eight years since Wei Chen last used Swoksaar.
In eight years, Swoksaar had risen from Level 55 to the current Level 75. New equipment, new skills. The current Swoksaar wasn't something Wei Chen should be familiar with, but he was.
Because in the end, this character was his biggest concern in Glory. Even though he never touched him again, Swoksaar still grew up under his watchful eyes. In every match, if he made any small adjustments, Wei Chen would immediately notice. Just like this, he watched as the new player gradually erased the traces he had left on this character, and then put their own mark on it.
"Idiot!"
Every time Swoksaar made an adjustment, Wei Chen would curse at him with disdain. He would often mock his companions around him about how noob these adjustments were, how they didn't understand Warlocks at all.
His subordinates followed his lead, so of course they all believed him.
But what about himself?
When there were many people around, Wei Chen would scold them like this. But what about when he was alone? He could only smile bitterly.
He was very clear in his heart that he was just unwilling to see his traces being erased bit by bit.
In the end, Swoksaar even changed his weapon.
Was this the curse of God Destruction?
The name of the novice staff did indeed sound arrogant and artistic, and the last trace of Wei Chen on Swoksaar's body had finally been erased. He could no longer sit still. After that, Windward Formation obtained Death's Hand.
Death's Hand. This was the Silver weapon that Swoksaar had used in the beginning. Wei Chen had revived it.
He picked up the weapon that Swoksaar had discarded, which made his Windward Formation look like a knockoff of Swoksaar in many people's eyes.
But to be honest, Wei Chen really didn't care. If it wasn't for the fact that "Swoksaar" was already protected in the game, his new Warlock would have been named "Swoksaar" as well.
Wei Chen also didn't know why he had to be so stubborn. Probably, he still couldn't accept it!
And now, it was time to put an end to all of this.
Wei Chen was very clear that with his current condition and skill level, in the intense and fast-paced playoffs matches, he couldn't appear every single time.
The match against Blue Rain might be his final performance on this stage, and this match was also the one that would allow him to unleash his full potential.
Because he understood Swoksaar.
Even if it wasn't made for him, he still understood him, understood him better than anyone else.
Swoksaar was chanting.
It was Curse Arrow.
For Swoksaar, who had a + 34 cast speed, this low-level skill should be as fast as an instant cast.
Fast!
But this wasn't all.
If it was just a cast, Swoksaar's Curse Arrow should be even faster.
The reason why he was slightly slower was because he had slightly accumulated his strength. Curse Arrow was a skill that could be charged. The longer it charged, the more energy the ball of light would gather, and the more Curse Arrows would be released in the end.
When cast, the number of Curse Arrows would be 13. When charged to full, the number would double, reaching 26. And Swoksaar's small charge just now could stack the number of Curse Arrows up to 15.
All of this … Wei Chen knew all too well. Windward Formation calmly dodged Swoksaar's attack, causing Yu Wenzhou, the operator behind Swoksaar, to be slightly surprised.
Because the opponent had dodged too calmly.
With such a simple charge up, the extra two Curse Arrows should have been easy to overlook. Once the opponent noticed and dodged, whether or not he dodged in the end, it should have been a kind of last-minute reaction and maneuver. But Windward Formation's calm actions clearly showed that he had known this would happen.
He had been seen through!
Just from Windward Formation's posture of dodging the attack, Yu Wenzhou had already deduced this. And right now, all of the audience, including the commentators Pan Lin and Li Yibo, had no idea that this Curse Arrow had been hiding such a trick. The two of them had only praised Swoksaar's casting speed for a moment, and hadn't even noticed the nimble accumulation of power.
The attack didn't succeed, but Swoksaar stopped moving.
Yu Wenzhou still had doubts in his heart. He couldn't see through Happy's intentions, and he couldn't guess Wei Chen's intentions. Did he really want to 1v2? It wasn't that Yu Wenzhou didn't respect Wei Chen, but in reality, this was the case. Wei Chen wanting to 1v2 was too much of a stretch.
Hexagram Prison restricted Lu Hanwen for nine seconds, but what could that do? Without the support of the others, Lu Hanwen's Drifting Cloud didn't suffer any focused attacks in these precious nine seconds. After nine seconds, how would the situation change?
Yu Wenzhou decided to watch a bit more.
Sure enough, he was still so calm.
For eight years, Wei Chen had never stopped paying attention to Swoksaar, so at the same time, he naturally had an extremely clear understanding of the operator behind Swoksaar. What's more, he had dealt with this current operator a long time ago. He would never forget that laughable existence in the training camp who had defeated him one day in a training match.
This calm youth would be the cornerstone of Blue Rain's future.
From that day onwards, Wei Chen already had this understanding. Reality proved that he wasn't wrong. Although Huang Shaotian was currently Blue Rain's top attacker, Blue Rain's tactical system and Blue Rain's style and rhythm were all determined by Yu Wenzhou's existence.
Perhaps it was because he maintained a clear head and calm mind at all times that Huang Shaotian's opportunism was so condensed and brilliant. Because he had such a backer, he could confidently walk on the edge of a blade.
At this moment, Huang Shaotian had already led his people to charge. Lu Hanwen's Drifting Cloud was locked in Hexagram Prison, but Yu Wenzhou was still calm and unhurried, still so clear-headed as he analyzed the situation. If he couldn't see it clearly, he wouldn't act rashly.
Curse Arrow!
Wei Chen chose to use the same skill to return the favor. His Windward Formation's casting speed wasn't as fast as Swoksaar's. However, such a low-level skill like casting wouldn't take long. Without charging, he released the skill as soon as he cast it. Death's Hand pulled outwards, and the purple ball of light spun, drawing an arc. Curse Arrow flew out like a fan just like that.
"Wei Chen's technique is quite experienced!" Li Yibo sighed. Perhaps their hand speed couldn't compare to the younger generation, but in terms of skill control, the veterans were truly at the pinnacle of perfection.
In fact, logically speaking, Wei Chen, who had retired for N years and then returned, wasn't a veteran in the normal sense. Returning after many years of a gap in the pro scene, rather than calling him a veteran, it would be better to call him a rookie.
Wei Chen needed to adapt to the rhythm of the pro scene like a rookie. But everyone knew that in the regular season, his appearances were pitifully few, all the way until the end of the season before he appeared in a few consecutive rounds. But it was enough for him to appear in such a small number of times.
Because veterans didn't need to adapt to the rhythm, they needed to find their rhythm.
Find their rhythm, find their victory!
"Beautiful!" After Li Yibo sighed, Pan Lin also praised. The Curse Arrow fanned out evenly, like a peacock spreading its tail. No matter how skilled a Warlock was, this technique couldn't be more perfect.
But, was it really like that?
In the eyes of the audience, it was like that.
But in Yu Wenzhou's eyes …
There was an opening!
The instant the ball of light spun and released the Curse Arrow, Yu Wenzhou had already seen the opening.
The Curse Arrow's distribution was even, but the rhythm wasn't. Their left and right spacing was equal, but what about the front and back spacing?
Front and back meant first and last.
There was a difference between first and last, but it left an opening for him to pass through.
Side step, side step!
Yu Wenzhou's mechanics weren't fast, but they were always accurate.
It looked like he was about to be hit by the Curse Arrow, but in the end, it looked like he had passed through. Swoksaar stood over, and not a single one of the Curse Arrows fanned out, not a single one missing. Not a single one hit.
"He dodged it?" Even Li Yibo was dumbstruck.
Yes, he dodged it, but only by dodging the Curse Arrow.
Windward Formation's new cast had already begun, and the magic of Death's Hand's curse surged.
Death's Door?
Yu Wenzhou was stunned. He was actually casting Death's Door right in front of him?
Even with Swoksaar's casting speed, this bit of time wasn't enough to cast!
The interruption was necessary. Swoksaar threw a Soul Slice. But Yu Wenzhou didn't relax just because of this. Wei Chen's fighting style wasn't right.
Yu Wenzhou looked around and quickly discovered another Windward Formation chanting a spell.
It was the Shadow Clone Technique!
Yu Wenzhou instantly understood. The one in front of him was, of course, the Shadow Clone. Windward Formation had taken advantage of the instant Swoksaar passed through the Curse Arrows to use this Ninjutsu.
Windward Formation was the one he really needed to interrupt.
However, it was not enough …
The distance was not enough!
Windward Formation's cast range was very far, even farther than Swoksaar's. If Swoksaar wanted to interrupt, Swoksaar would need to walk a bit closer.
However, it was too late.
The distance of two units determined the success or failure of a skill.
