With a Cleric assisting from the side, almost everyone thought of one word: kill!
At this moment, Ye Xiu could completely rely on Little Cold Hands' healing to sustain his health, ignore Drifting Cloud's attacks, and attack Swoksaar head-on.
Then what about Lu Hanwen? If he wanted to stop Ye Xiu, he would have to choose a skill with a stronger attack, and only then would he be able to interrupt Lord Grim's offensive.
In a high-level match, the situation was suddenly so simple that even a normal player could understand it. Blue Rain's fans all clenched their fists and cheered for Lu Hanwen.
But Lord Grim's one skill instantly made all Blue Rain's fans' hearts turn to ash.
Reinforced Iron Bones!
In the Fighter class, the Striker skill Reinforced Iron Bones. It was a low-level skill, and the increase in defense didn't seem outstanding in front of a high-damage skill, but Reinforced Iron Bones' other effect, Super Armor, became the true killer move at this moment.
Super Armor didn't help a character's defense at all, but it didn't take any damage from attacks. At this moment, there was only one skill that could interrupt Lord Grim's movements: a skill with grab priority.
As for Blade Masters? They didn't have any grab skills, but the one they often had was the low-level Magic Swordsman skill Wave Wheel Slasher.
In other words, if Lu Hanwen wanted to interrupt Lord Grim's offensive, this was the only skill he could use …
A ray of white light had already bathed Swoksaar's entire body.
Holy Commandment Light increased attack damage, and in a situation where there was no focus fire, it could be said to be quite extravagant. And now, for Blue Rain, this extravagance was no different from adding fuel to the fire. Swoksaar didn't have much health to begin with, and with this 30% increase, how much longer could he last?
Lord Grim's offensive began.
Drifting Cloud's offensive also began.
Formless Phantom Blade!
Lu Hanwen had Drifting Cloud use this skill at this moment.
Lord Grim did not dodge. He continued forward, continuing his attacks on Swoksaar. Drifting Cloud's Formless Phantom Blade slashed at his body again and again. Blood splattered everywhere, but he did not care.
His HP was quickly fading away, but no matter how powerful the damage was, it could not cause the slightest hesitation or interruption in his movements. This was the value of the Super Armor state. This might not be an equivalent exchange, but Ye Xiu did not care, because Lord Grim had only lost a little more HP, while Swoksaar was about to lose his life.
There was no other way …
That was what everyone was thinking. Although he had the Wave Wheel Slasher, it was such a simple and unselective space. There was no way he could create an effective threat. Lu Hanwen had Drifting Cloud use Formless Phantom Blade, probably because he had no other choice but to use this opportunity to take more of Lord Grim's HP.
As heavy as the greatsword Flame Shadow was, the speed at which he used Formless Phantom Blade was also very fast. In a situation where the opponent did not resist at all, Lu Hanwen's Formless Phantom Blade hit after hit, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of the move.
The end of the move, the most powerful strike of Formless Phantom Blade.
But just as the sword light of this strongest strike was about to rise, Ye Xiu suddenly canceled his Ignore state of Lu Hanwen.
The sword light rose, and Lord Grim rolled.
Dodged!
Lord Grim had actually chosen to dodge this strike, and had even stopped his attacks on Swoksaar because of it.
He still wanted to dodge? Why was it so frustrating to attack with such force?
The Blue Rain fans were all depressed. Ye Xiu had actually allowed Lord Grim to dodge this strongest strike. Everyone expressed their disdain.
In the end, they saw that the sword light that Drifting Cloud had wiped out seemed to split the air. A streak of something that was clearly not sword qi split apart and then disappeared.
Everyone was shocked.
This strike was actually not the end of the Formless Phantom Blade, but a Wave Wheel Slasher.
Lu Hanwen had not given up. He had hidden the Wave Wheel Slasher within the Formless Phantom Blade, wanting to catch his opponent off guard.
But, unfortunately, Ye Xiu had noticed.
Why had he dodged this strike? Of course, it was not because he did not want to take such a strong blow. The reason was because this strike would really have interrupted Lord Grim's attack.
The only effective strike had missed. At this point, there was not even a speck of hope left.
But everyone was still hoping for a miracle, hoping for a godly turn of events. For example, what if Ye Xiu made a mistake?
Nothing, nothing at all.
Swoksaar fell, and in the final moment before he fell, Yu Wenzhou gave his final order of the match: save the healer.
Save the healer.
Huang Shaotian and Zheng Xuan had originally rushed over to save the healer. Xu Jingxi was the target to be saved, so this order was naturally for Lu Hanwen.
Drifting Cloud immediately switched targets. And Ye Xiu, in order to completely kill Swoksaar, didn't have time to stop him.
Yu Wenzhou's last order had even subtly used a time difference: before Swoksaar fell, Lord Grim could not move.
But there was artillery fire coming from afar.
Drifting Cloud switched targets, so Dancing Rain switched targets, and then Lord Grim switched targets.
Lord Grim's attacks stuck to Drifting Cloud, and in the end, Swoksaar was killed by Dancing Rain's long-range artillery fire. Yu Wenzhou's last order had used a time difference to buy an opening, and in the end, it still landed on his partner of many years, Huang Shaotian.
The most outstanding opportunist in all of Glory didn't miss this opening that his good friend and partner of many years had fought for with his life.
In the fierce wind, Troubling Rain rushed out.
Sweeping up sword light, it pounced straight for Baozi's invasion.
Save the healer!
The order had been given to Lu Hanwen, but in the end, the one to complete it was Huang Shaotian!
Troubling Rain, unstoppable.
Even if he could block it, what could he do? As long as Baozi's invasion was stopped, Xu Jingxi's Soul Speaker would be saved.
Fang Rui immediately dropped Bullet Rain, and Hai Wuliang turned around and rushed back.
Although the wind was blowing, would they make it in time?
Not in time!
They wanted to stop Troubling Rain, but no matter what, it was too late. But Hai Wuliang waved his palm, and a wave of qi blasted towards Soul Speaker.
And Baozi's invasion had no intention of dealing with Troubling Rain.
Was he going to kill him?
He'd definitely be interrupted, right? That was what everyone thought when they saw Troubling Rain's sword intent and aura.
But as soon as they saw Baozi's invasion and Hai Wuliang's invasion, the two characters suddenly shook, making everyone feel as if their bones had hardened a bit.
Everyone was once again dumbstruck.
Baozi's Invasion, Hai Wuliang, the two characters used the same skill, the one Lord Grim had just used.
Reinforced Iron Bones!
Fighter's Reinforced Iron Bones.
Baozi's Invasion, Brawler; Hai Wuliang, Qi Master.
Of course they were Fighters, so of course they could effortlessly learn the Striker's low-level skill, Reinforced Iron Bones.
What they wanted wasn't defense, but Super Armor.
So what if Troubling Rain's sword intent filled the sky? The only thing that could interrupt his attack was Wave Wheel Slasher.
So what if Bullet Rain went all out? The shockwaves from the explosion were also ineffective against Super Armor. Flash Bullet? Ice Bullet? The effects of these skills weren't within Super Armor's range of resistance, but they weren't enough to make the final decision.
Reinforced Iron Bones.
Team Happy actually had three characters with Reinforced Iron Bones. Had anyone noticed this from the start? No one.
Had anyone thought from the start that when the battle reached such a decisive moment, these three low-level skills exploding at the same time would have such a tyrannical effect? No one.
Soul Speaker had fallen.
He had been under attack the entire time. If it weren't for the fact that he was a plate armor class and had been stubbornly trying to save himself, he would have fallen even earlier than Swoksaar.
So far, two Blue Rain characters had fallen, including their healer …
Victory and defeat had been decided.
Only the loyal fans were still praying for some kind of miracle to happen.
And Blue Rain's players didn't give up. They continued to work hard. This wasn't a win or loss in a single match. This was a win or loss for their entire season. Who would give up until the very last moment?
But in the end, when nothing changed, their efforts could only be seen as a pale struggle. Perhaps many years later, their efforts at this stage would even be summarized as "garbage time."
They lost.
In their home game, they lost the group arena, they lost the team competition. There was no need to count the number of kills in this round.
In Xiaochuan Stadium, if it weren't for the Happy fans guarding the west stands, it would have been dead silent long ago.
They lost just like that?
Everything that had just ended was right in front of their eyes, but the Blue Rain fans in the stadium didn't dare to believe what had happened.
An entire season's worth of hard work, just like that in the first round of the playoffs, in just two rounds, they had completely lost.
This summer had come too early, hadn't it? So early that it was hard to get used to!
The players from both sides walked out of their player booths. The players who hadn't appeared also left their player booths and walked onto the stage. Wei Chen walked in the middle. Clapping and thanking the away team after winning an away game was one of his favorite things to do. The other players might be thanking him out of courtesy, but he would be full of mockery. But this time, he was very quiet. He walked onto the stage silently with the others.
Blue Rain, to him, was different. Even though he was on Happy's side, he couldn't continue to mock Blue Rain after winning.
He had won, and that was enough. His usual bad habits, on the cruel stage of the playoffs, in front of Blue Rain, a team that he was full of feelings for, he finally had to put them away.
"Congratulations." Blue Rain's captain, Yu Wenzhou, walked over to shake Ye Xiu's hand.
"Thank you." Ye Xiu smiled and nodded. He didn't say anything else.
"Let's win the championship!" Huang Shaotian said seriously as he walked up and shook his hand.
"Why else do you think I'm here?" Ye Xiu said.
"Very good. You won against us, but if you lose to anyone else, I'll look down on you!" Huang Shaotian said.
Congratulations to the opponents, thanks to the audience. Team Blue Rain lost the match, but they didn't lose their composure. It was just that there was a hint of disappointment in everyone's expression.
They would have to taste this bitter fruit for an entire summer. But everything was far from over. There would be a new season, and they would have a new beginning. Day after day, year after year, everyone chased after their goal.
There was only one champion. It was cruel. But there was one champion every year. It was a never-ending hope.
