In this final moment, there was no room for carelessness. There couldn't be the slightest mistake. At this moment, the players tended to be more cautious. First, they didn't make any mistakes. Then, they looked for merit. The scene might not be too spectacular, but it was soul-stirring. Those who understood Glory could instantly feel it.
Cloud Piercer still had a fifth of his health left, while Lord Grim didn't even have a tenth of his health left.
In this sort of health difference, many people wouldn't view it as a stalemate, but rather as Cloud Piercer's advantage.
But the pro players didn't think so, because they had already helped Ye Xiu find a way to victory. A bunch of people were comparing their experience with Lord Grim's, trying to determine how much more health Lord Grim would have had if he had used Small, Great, and Holy Heals.
4%? 5%? 6%? Or even higher?
For a professional healer, this sort of ratio was ridiculously low, but at this moment, it was like a life-saving straw. If Lord Grim had a few more percent of his health, with how close he was to Cloud Piercer, the door to victory would open.
"Now it's Zhou Zekai's turn to have a hard time getting off!" Huang Shaotian said, as if Ye Xiu would heal Lord Grim.
"That might not be the case, right?" Some people were still trying to think of other possibilities.
"With how despicable that guy is, that's most likely the case," Zhang Jiale nodded his head vigorously.
"He's been holding back all this time, waiting for the final moment to decide the match. Why do I feel like this is a bit similar to what happened just now? Where did it come from? Right, when Cloud Piercer dodged Lord Grim's Sky Strike, he also held back until the very last moment, giving Lord Grim no time to react! These two guys have the same train of thought. Don't you guys think so? " The more Huang Shaotian spoke, the more excited he became. As for the "certain scene" he mentioned, it was actually just a small moment in this battle. It was hard for him to remember it so clearly.
"When is this guy going to make his move?" No one answered him, but Huang Shaotian didn't care too much and continued to talk.
On the battlefield, both sides continued to fight, their HP constantly decreasing. Not long after, Cloud Piercer's health fell to 14%, while Lord Grim's health fell to 5%. With this little bit of HP, a high damage skill would have been able to wipe it out in one hit. However, due to the caution of the two players, they did not have such an opportunity. Their HP was only decreasing bit by bit, causing everyone to feel extremely anxious watching this.
It's time to heal, right?
Huang Shaotian, Zhang Jiale, and the others who were certain that Ye Xiu would heal felt that it was about time. 5% of his health was too dangerous. With Cloud Piercer's attack power, he could easily kill him in one wave. Was there a need to waste time like this?
Yes! No need!
Zhou Zekai, who had been extremely cautious the entire time, had even carefully controlled his Cross Slash. When his opponent only had 5% of his health left, and his Cloud Piercer only had 14% of his health left, he suddenly charged forward!
"He's going to attack!!" Wu Yuce shouted.
When Lord Grim only had 10% of his health left, Wu Yuce felt that they should attack. However, after everyone discussed the possibility that Ye Xiu could have prepared a healing skill for instant health, Zhou Zekai's caution at that moment was easier to understand.
If he attacked forcefully, he would have to expend a lot of health. If he didn't kill him in one wave and allowed his opponent to heal him instead, that would be a disaster.
The fact that he didn't attack at that moment meant that Zhou Zekai wasn't blinded by the situation. Like the players watching from the sidelines, he also considered this possibility. It wasn't as difficult as guessing which skills Ye Xiu had chosen. Healing was a part of the system. Lord Grim had this system. No one had overlooked this point. In that situation, this system would be of great use. The spectating experts had realized this, but Zhou Zekai hadn't overlooked it either. He was prepared for this, so he was cautious at first. However, when Lord Grim's health dropped to 5%, Zhou Zekai chose to go berserk. This was because he had enough confidence that he could kill the opponent in one hit with this amount of health. He wouldn't give the opponent a chance to heal!
Ye Xiu had been waiting for an opportunity to heal, but he had also been waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Lord Grim only had 5% of his health left. In the eyes of Huang Shaotian and Zhang Xinle, this was already the time to heal. However, Zhou Zekai had chosen this moment to attack first!
"Sigh!" Huang Shaotian heaved a heavy sigh.
When it came to timing, he was an expert at it. Both players wanted to seize this opportunity, but in the end, it was Zhou Zekai who took the initiative. Was victory going to be decided like this?
Not yet!
Cloud Piercer twisted his body, about to shoot, but then he saw a flash of cold light. Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was right in front of him.
Dragon's Teeth!
He had to dodge. Dragon's Teeth had a stun effect, which would disrupt his rhythm.
Cloud Piercer twisted his body. Dragon's Teeth missed him. His body was moving, but his guns were already aimed at his target. As he dodged, he spat out a tongue of fire. He didn't delay his attack at all.
Bullets flew out, but Ye Xiu seemed to have predicted this. Lord Grim lowered his body. At such a close distance, he actually dodged all of the bullets. Then, he pulled his sword out of the umbrella. This posture was perfect for a Berserker skill: Colliding Stab!
Charge!
The two sides were only three steps apart. For a normal player, this was probably a distance that couldn't be dodged, but Ye Xiu was facing Zhou Zekai, the most extraordinary player in the Glory scene. Three steps might not seem to exist for a normal player, but for him, it was a space that allowed him to gallop.
Dodge!
As soon as the sword was pulled out of the umbrella and the cold light flashed, Zhou Zekai had already made his move. Cloud Piercer had already made his move. In a battle between experts, how could it be a standstill? You spear, I slash. The two characters didn't stop moving for even a moment. All of their attacks, defenses, and dodges were carried out as they moved. Cloud Piercer dodged Dragon's Teeth's attack and then began his next step. When Lord Grim rushed out with Colliding Stab, he had already taken half a step. His footing was firm enough to dodge this attack.
But in the end, he didn't!
Zhou Zekai had actually misjudged this Colliding Stab. The attack range wasn't three steps. The area of impact was far larger than Zhou Zekai had expected.
Because the weapon used to execute this Colliding Stab wasn't the tachi that had been pulled out of the umbrella. Lord Grim had only pulled out half of the tachi before retracting it. Afterwards, he maintained the same posture as when Dragon's Teeth had stabbed out and continued with this Colliding Stab.
As a result, the distance of three steps didn't exist. When Dragon's Teeth had attacked, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had already covered the distance of three steps. And at this moment, it had only changed its form. The tachi that was pulled out was just a facade. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella transformed into that strangely shaped greatsword. As for the surface of the umbrella, if it was counted as the blade, then this greatsword was ridiculously wide. Using Colliding Stab like this, the area it controlled was naturally much larger.
Hit!
Cloud Piercer was hit squarely by this Colliding Stab. And this skill didn't send the target flying, but rather sent the target flying.
Bang!
After a few steps, Cloud Piercer slammed into a stalagmite behind him. He couldn't retreat any further. Lord Grim was right next to him. They were so close that Zhou Zekai could only see Lord Grim's expressionless face.
Not good!
Zhou Zekai realized that the situation wasn't good. The distance was too close, so close that even a Blade Master with a weapon would find it difficult to use, let alone a long-ranged player like him. At this kind of close distance, the only thing he could use was his own fists and feet. In other words, Fighter skills!
Bang!
Headbutt, another Headbutt.
Headbutt, a second time!
Then, he was punched in the stomach. It wasn't even a skill, just a normal attack.
Lord Grim's offensive had already begun. Zhou Zekai obviously wouldn't just sit there and wait for death. Cloud Piercer's Knee Strike!
This was a low-level Sharpshooter skill. It also used the knee to hit the enemy. Compared to the Brawler's Knee Strike, it didn't have a grab effect, but it had a Super Armor effect, which meant that it couldn't be interrupted. As a shared low-level skill, it was known as a godly skill for Gunners to protect themselves.
But this time, just as Cloud Piercer raised his knee, Lord Grim grabbed his leg and threw him onto his shoulder. Then, he was slammed back into the stalagmite.
Grappler skill: Receiving Throw. It was a dismantling skill, but as a grab effect, it ignored Super Armor.
The tables had turned. Everyone was dumbstruck, including the pro players who had better foresight.
Heal?
That was their wishful thinking. Lord Grim didn't have any intention of healing. When his health dropped to 5%, Zhou Zekai burst forth and Cloud Piercer attacked. As for this side? It was the same! Ye Xiu took advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack.
Taking the initiative to attack, forcefully attacking, 5% of his health?
This didn't seem logical at all. Attacking with such low health was tantamount to suicide. Attacking with such force would sometimes deal more damage than the damage dealt, but relying on your own health, you could beat your opponent to death.
Cloud Piercer had a lot of health, so Zhou Zekai burst forth and attacked!
Lord Grim had a lot of health, so Ye Xiu was actually learning from him and attacking?
It was inconceivable, but he still did it. Right now, Cloud Piercer was pressed against the stalagmite. The distance was reduced, and there was no way to retreat. Great Gunner was like a dumpling filling squeezed in between, unable to use his skills.
14% of his health was being stripped away layer by layer. But, was it enough?
After all, Lord Grim could only use Fighter skills. There were still some unsuitable skills like Qi Bullet that needed to be removed. Otherwise, there would be an opening.
Limited skills, low level damage, but he needed to take away 14% of Cloud Piercer's health in one go.
Punch, Kick, Knee, Elbow, Head …
Lord Grim had used all the parts that could be used.
13%, 12%, 11% …
Right now, everyone wasn't thinking about how Zhou Zekai would deal with it, but whether Ye Xiu could continue his offensive. This was the most important question.
The broadcast was very clever this time. They quickly discovered this crucial point and immediately displayed Lord Grim's skill tree, letting everyone see the cooldowns of his skills.
Under the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's Fighter form, it could be seen that the other classes' skills were all grayed out, unable to be used. On the other hand, the Fighter skill tree was bright, but there was also a question mark. This was a skill added to the Claw form, so it wouldn't be directly displayed in the skill tree. However, everyone knew that Ye Xiu had chosen Headbutt.
All of the skills were low level, and most of them didn't have long cooldowns. The cooldowns were quite fast.
Even so, could these skills be used to achieve 14% of his damage output?
"Not enough …" Someone spoke up. Those who dared to come to this conclusion obviously weren't Pan Lin or Li Yibo. These two already didn't dare to talk about Ye Xiu.
The one who spoke was Han Wenqing, an expert in close combat. He was also a Fighter class, so his judgement was naturally trustworthy.
"Probably a bit too close," Wang Jiexi said.
Would this help Zhou Zekai win a chance to turn things around?
Everyone's gaze returned to the stage. This point had been said and done. Now that the skills that could control the situation were on cooldown, they could only rely on normal attacks or other skills.
Zhou Zekai, who wasn't looking at Lord Grim's skill tree, was more clear-headed than many of the people who were looking at the skill tree. He immediately used a skill.
Roundhouse Kick, a spinning kick. Lord Grim had already activated Cloud Body and stepped out of the way.
Cloud Piercer jumped up, pulled out his gun, fired, Furious Shot!
Lord Grim's silhouette flickered. Three steps, one step, one step.
Sword out, sword out.
Assassin skill: Teleportation Stab.
Cloud Piercer instantly fell to zero.
"Good luck. You were so close to beating me," Ye Xiu said in the chat with a smile.
