Fire Bird, a Level 75 Elementalist skill. These NPCs' battle strength was average, so the power of their skills was naturally limited. However, the power of Fire Bird wasn't lacking at all.
The ball of flame at the top of the staff had already spread its wings when it flew up, and in an instant, it pounced out with the force of a prairie fire.
The distance was too close. Fire Bird's cast time was slow, but it wasn't slow at all. Zhou Zekai's view was instantly filled with a sea of red, burning and dancing. In an instant, Cloud Piercer was nothing more than a silhouette in the flames.
Cloud Piercer wasn't able to dodge this attack, but that didn't mean that Zhou Zekai had no way of dealing with it. Everyone could clearly see that the silhouette in the flames had raised his knee.
The viewers who didn't know what was going on all thought that Cloud Piercer was trying to dodge, but as soon as he took a step, he was hit by the Fire Bird. However, when the pro players saw Cloud Piercer's steady figure amidst the flames, they knew that this wasn't a step, but a knee strike.
It was a low-level skill that was limited to close combat, but for Sharpshooters, who didn't usually choose to fight in close combat, this was a very important skill. Even Launchers, Mechanics, and Spitfires wouldn't give up on learning this skill.
This was because when this skill was used, it gave the user a Super Armor effect.
There was no clear record of how long this effect lasted. In Glory, too many skills had hidden properties that wouldn't be directly revealed in the skill description. However, Knee Strike was a skill that had a lifespan as long as Glory itself. It had long since been mastered by players and even pro players.
Especially as a Gunner player, being able to accurately grasp this moment of Super Armor was very useful.
This was because skills in Glory didn't have a "shared cooldown". In theory, as long as you were fast enough, using ten skills at once wasn't a problem.
Of course, this was only in theory. Glory didn't have a "shared cooldown", but there were other ways to determine it. For example, the characters couldn't clash with each other. As a result, even if there wasn't a "shared cooldown", there weren't many skills that could be used at once.
[Knee Strike] was an extremely compatible skill. It only required a knee strike, which was completely different from a Gunner's posture of raising their arms and firing a gun. In addition, as a low-level skill, [Knee Strike] had a very short cooldown, so using [Super Armor] to ensure that other skills could be used smoothly was a common Gunner skill. This skill was even more superstitious to the players. They wished that all of their skills could be used at the same time as Knee Strike. For a period of time, all of the Gunners were like one-legged people.
Fortunately, the players later discovered that this technique wasn't as simple as it seemed. First of all, both skills had to be executed at the same time. Secondly, the Super Armor effect of Knee Strike was actually quite short. To really use this Super Armor effect, one had to have a considerable amount of judgment and precise control. The players, on the other hand, were merely taking precautions, like a blind cat trying to hit a dead mouse.
As a result, most of the time, they wouldn't be able to hit it. Moreover, because of too many actions, they would change the shape of a skill that was originally quite simple. Later on, players finally stopped being superstitious and started to think carefully before using it.
Zhou Zekai's skill level didn't need to be mentioned. At this moment, when he couldn't dodge in time, he used the Knee Strike that had been passed down for more than ten years. However, the Super Armor effect of [Knee Strike] was too short. The Fire Bird's attack was too powerful. Relying on [Knee Strike] to completely block the Fire Bird's attack was impossible. However, Zhou Zekai had at least grasped the most effective timing, which was the instant the Fire Bird's attack was released.
Flames engulfed his body. Cloud Piercer didn't move his knee, but in an instant, the Super Armor effect disappeared. The Fire Bird's attack was still there, but Cloud Piercer could dodge the attack with a reasonable step back.
At this point, many people still thought that the NPC's Fire Bird wasn't strong enough, which was why Cloud Piercer wasn't sent flying. They completely ignored the fact that Zhou Zekai had relied on precise control to save the situation.
How troublesome!
Fang Rui saw everything clearly. He muttered to himself. This was an opportunity that he had been waiting for for a long time. Cloud Piercer had finally established the aggro and been hit by the Fire Bird, but it was still far from what Fang Rui had hoped for. He had originally hoped that the Fire Bird would send Cloud Piercer flying. The NPCs who had shifted their aggro to Cloud Piercer would take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Then, with his own mischief from the side, he would be able to take down Cloud Piercer in one go.
But in the end, it was far from the perfect situation he had hoped for.
Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer hadn't been sent flying. After retreating a few steps, he stood still amidst the Fire Bird's attack. His two guns were still held straight up. He was actually going to continue his offensive.
Spirit Reaches to the Rainbow!
However, Hai Wuliang's attack came faster than his.
This scene wasn't the perfect situation Fang Rui had hoped for, but he had to admit that this was the scene he had hoped for. Zhou Zekai wouldn't be defeated so easily. Taking him down in one go was just a thought.
Cloud Piercer was still surrounded by flames from the Fire Bird's attack. It didn't do much damage, but it did illuminate his figure. At this moment, a beam of light shot down.
Dodge!
After being baptized by the Fire Bird, Cloud Piercer didn't stop moving. From the very beginning, Zhou Zekai's counterattack hadn't been to shoot from a fixed position, but to move from one position to another. While dodging the Spirit Reaches to the Rainbow, he began his counterattack. His movements were smooth and fluid.
Bang bang bang!
Gunshots rang out. His counterattack wasn't any slower than Hai Wuliang's Spirit Reaches to the Rainbow.
Hai Wuliang immediately slapped the Elementalist next to him. The Elementalist spun around, and a meat shield appeared in front of him. Cloud Piercer's attacks sent flesh and blood flying everywhere.
This wasn't Zhou Zekai's target. Cloud Piercer continued to move to the side, but Hai Wuliang had already appeared from the other side.
Dragon Wave!
The qi condensed into a dragon and flew out, brimming with killing intent. The qi was slower than bullets, but it was still able to reach Cloud Piercer in the blink of an eye.
Cloud Piercer immediately dodged to the side, but Dragon Wave could be controlled. Zhou Zekai knew that it wouldn't be so easy to get rid of it. The key was to interrupt the skill.
Cloud Piercer raised his gun and aimed. But then, an NPC appeared out of nowhere and stood between Cloud Piercer and Boundless Sea, completely blocking his path of attack.
Zhou Zekai could only have Cloud Piercer move two more steps, but the Dragon Wave didn't chase after Cloud Piercer. Instead, it suddenly turned around in front of Cloud Piercer, blocking his line of sight.
Qi didn't have any color. It was just that when some skills were condensed, they would become thick and dense like clouds. When they condensed together, they would have a form of blocking effect.
But when Zhou Zekai saw Fang Rui use it like this, he immediately felt that something wasn't right. Doing this just to block his line of sight was too much of an exaggeration. This time, it was probably to block some NPC's attack, right?
As a result, the NPC that had just appeared between the two suddenly appeared in Zhou Zekai's mind. He still remembered the direction that the NPC had charged towards. It was indeed him, but what about its class?
Battle Mage!
Dragon Breaks the Ranks!
Dragon Wave suddenly moved aside, and a figure rushed out.
Zhou Zekai's reaction was extremely fast, but in the end, he was only able to synchronize with the NPC's attack. It was because the situation was too chaotic. Not only were the two of them attacking each other, they had to spend a lot of time and effort to avoid interference from the NPC. His view constantly turned, left, right, behind him. If it weren't for this, Zhou Zekai wouldn't have overlooked this Battle Mage that had come in from the front.
And now, not only had this Battle Mage blocked his attack, he had also used Fang Rui and Hai Wuliang's Dragon Wave as cover to suddenly appear in front of him.
Zhou Zekai's actions were instinctive. Cloud Piercer barely dodged the Dragon Breaks the Ranks, but a Berserker NPC rushed forward and slashed down with his sword. Behind him, a Warlock was chanting a curse. Zhou Zekai had noticed this beforehand. But even more annoying was Fang Rui. He controlled Boundless Sea's Dragon Wave to fly back, flaunting its might and blocking off his last possible escape route.
Boom!
Countless attacks hit Cloud Piercer at almost the same time.
