Deception wasn't an idiot. His guild members weren't idiots either.
Golden Fragrance wasn't the only one who knew how to hide at the intersection and launch a sneak attack. Deception had already broken through these seemingly sweet junctions four times. Golden Fragrance. This was already the fifth time Deception had met someone who played this type of trick.
But this time, there was a big difference compared to the previous four times.
Golden Fragrance had a lot of people!
Deception was on guard. He didn't rush straight to the intersection. He flipped onto the roof and prepared to launch a sneak attack. In the end, when he flew down, he was caught off guard. All of a sudden, a total of 15 people appeared at the intersection.
A team and a half surrounded Deception tightly. It looked like there was still a path of retreat behind him, but the pursuers were closing in. From start to finish, Deception hadn't been able to completely shake off the pursuers.
"Let's see where you're going to run to!" Golden Fragrance stepped forward with a Half Heavy Step in her hands and roared at Deception. She didn't have any personal grudges with Deception. She just couldn't find Lord Grim and wanted to use this gift to vent her anger.
"Hmph!" Deception harrumphed. He didn't say anything else. He looked around and calmly observed the situation.
Fifteen people had already surrounded him. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Moreover, the other side was very experienced. There were many layers to the encirclement. They had taken into account the fact that he could use Shadow Clone Technique to teleport. Deception couldn't rely on this method to escape.
There was no way he could use any tricks.
Deception instantly understood. He knew that this time, it was time for him to put his life on the line. If he didn't open up a path, then he would die here!
He made this decision in the time it took for him to breathe. Everyone felt that it was only after Golden Fragrance finished speaking. Deception suddenly dashed forward. His target was Golden Fragrance.
Catch the leader first!
Even though in this situation, even if he caught the leader, it wouldn't change anything. But in any case, if he couldn't break through, he would still be able to take care of the leader.
With a flash of his sword, Deception arrived at an extremely fast speed.
However, as one of Excellent Dynasty's core experts, Golden Fragrance wasn't someone normal players could compare to.
Seeing Deception charge forward without saying a word, he immediately raised his hand and fired a shot.
Three Anti-Tank Missiles whistled through the air towards Deception. In an instant, smoke filled the air and the flames from the explosions engulfed him.
"Be careful!"
Someone exclaimed from the side.
Golden Fragrance didn't have time to react as blood spurted out from her neck.
Assassin Skill: Cutthroat!
How did Deception get behind him? It wasn't hard for Golden Fragrance to guess that it was Shadow Clone Technique. But Deception had done it right in front of her eyes, yet she hadn't noticed it at all.
There was always a sign before the activation of any skill. When Shadow Clone Technique was used, the character's body would sway slightly. Everyone knew that Ninjas had this method, so everyone was on guard. Even so, Golden Fragrance still fell for it.
Because Deception's mechanics were fast enough! The faster the control, the shorter the activation of the skill, and there was no limit to this.
Golden Fragrance had been closed in. For a Launcher, this wasn't good. However, Golden Fragrance didn't panic because she wasn't fighting by herself.
Her character turned around and used a Pull, a Launcher's knock-up skill.
Deception had retreated a long time ago. Cutthroat was just a casual attack. His intention was to break out of the encirclement and escape. If he couldn't escape, then he would risk his life.
After retreating from Golden Fragrance's side, Deception turned around and jumped up. He flipped in the air and wanted to fly under the heads of the two players blocking his way. He just hoped that these two wouldn't react too quickly.
These two players blocking his way were a Sharpshooter and a Blade Master. Unfortunately for Deception, their reactions weren't very fast.
The Blade Master leapt into the air and used a Falling Phoenix Slash towards Deception, who was trying to leap over their heads.
Deception had no choice but to use a Parry. His ninjato slashed out and blocked the Falling Phoenix Slash.
There was a clang.
Parry was a type of collision allowed by the game's settings. It wasn't a defensive skill. In a collision, it depended on the priority.
Deception had only used a normal attack, while the Blade Master had used a Falling Phoenix Slash.
The sword light only blocked a portion of the damage. It didn't stop the Falling Phoenix Slash's momentum. The sword light continued to descend. Deception had his ninjato in front of him, but he couldn't do anything about it.
This was the difference between a Parry and a Parry.
A Parry could completely nullify the opponent's attack. On the other hand, a Parry only blocked a portion of the damage. The attack's priority was completely nullified.
Deception was sent flying back to the ground by the Falling Phoenix Slash. As for the Sharpshooter, when the Blade Master jumped up, he rolled backwards.
This roll made Deception extremely gloomy. Even if he immediately rolled forward to avoid the Blade Master, he would still hit the Sharpshooter's muzzle.
These two were clearly experienced players. With one moving up and one moving back, they nullified all of Deception's possibilities.
The other players on the left and right had already surrounded them. There were still players on the outside. They hadn't let down their guard against the Shadow Clone Technique.
It looks like it's going to be troublesome … …
The instant Deception landed, he understood that as soon as he landed, he would immediately roll backwards.
Behind him was the other side's leader, Golden Fragrance.
Golden Fragrance was a Launcher after all. Seeing Deception roll towards her, she instinctively jumped backwards.
But when Deception flipped backwards, it was as if he had been stabbed and suddenly disappeared.
"Not good!"
Just as Golden Fragrance thought of this, Deception broke through the ground and appeared right under her feet.
Ninjutsu: Underground Tunneling Technique!
Blood spurted out from Golden Fragrance's body.
But the attack didn't end there. Deception, who was still in the air after the Underground Tunneling Technique, madly moved his hands in front of his chest. He was making a hand seal.
"This is … …" Golden Fragrance looked up and saw it clearly, but she couldn't tell what kind of hand seal it was. The hand seal was completed in an instant. Deception's figure suddenly flickered as if he was about to use a Shadow Clone Technique. However, the range of this movement was much greater than that of the Shadow Clone Technique. That movement actually looked like it was moving in all directions.
Golden Fragrance immediately knew what was going to happen.
Unfortunately, that was all she knew.
After Deception's figure flickered, he suddenly scattered. Who knew how many Deceptions there were on the battlefield. The grey figure ran around in a frenzy, dazzling everyone's eyes. Golden Fragrance's body began to bleed profusely.
Level 70 Ninja skill, Ninjutsu: Shadow Dance!
"Spread out a bit more. Be careful of him leaving the encirclement!!!" Golden Fragrance hastily ordered.
Shadow Dance's attack was to control multiple shadow clones. After finishing the attack, the character's landing position could be determined by the user. Because there were too many shadow clones, it was very difficult for others to determine where the final landing position would be due to the extreme confusion. If they didn't expand their defensive range, it was very likely that this guy would use this skill to break out of the encirclement.
The players obeyed the order. They expanded the encirclement while attacking the clones.
Shadow Dance's clones were the same as Shadow Clone Technique's clones. They could be destroyed through attacks. The difference was that Shadow Dance's Shadow Clone Technique could move and had more health.
As a result, out of habit, they would first try to find a stationary clone to disappear from.
Because Shadow Dance's clones needed to be controlled by the player, most of the time, the player couldn't completely control all of the clones. There would often be some that would just stand there blankly.
But at this moment, after looking around, they discovered that there weren't any! There weren't any stationary clones!
Deception was actually able to control all of the Shadow Clone Techniques. This kind of control was definitely at the level of a Ninja. The players from a top guild like Excellent Dynasty were all experienced and knowledgeable. But in the game, in the Arena, they had never seen a player who could control a Shadow Dance to such a degree.
Without any stationary clones, everyone could only randomly attack the ones that were moving. However, Shadow Dance's clones had a skill effect. Their movement speed was twice as fast as normal. These clones filled the sky, leaving behind afterimages. It was impossible to see them clearly.
Even so, the skill had a duration. Let this guy be arrogant! In any case, he wouldn't be able to run away.
In the end, the side with the advantage in numbers had nothing to fear.
At first, Golden Fragrance thought the same, but not long after, she suddenly realized that something wasn't right.
Wasn't her health dropping too much?
Shadow Dance was usually used as an AoE skill, but at this moment, Deception seemed to be focusing all of his attacks on her. The constantly moving gray silhouettes confused everyone's line of sight while focusing all of his attacks on Golden Fragrance.
Because Glory's skills were very versatile, the effects of skills were sometimes hard to define. Shadow Dance was used as an AoE skill, but it was simpler and easier to learn. However, it wasn't impossible to focus all of your attacks on a single target. It was just that it required a lot of complicated controls.
And Deception was undoubtedly doing this. He could control all of his clones, so he focused all of his attacks on Golden Fragrance. Under such a concentrated attack, Golden Fragrance's health dropped rapidly. She originally wouldn't have been worried, but now, she finally began to worry.
"Am I going to die?" Golden Fragrance was alarmed. She didn't care about anything else and hastily yelled: "Cleric!"
In a team of fifteen, of course there would be a Cleric. The other players hadn't noticed Golden Fragrance's situation, but when they heard her call for a Cleric, they suddenly realized that Golden Fragrance's health had dropped by so much!
The Cleric immediately ran over. Just as he was about to cast a spell, a gray silhouette suddenly flashed past him. With a single attack, his cast was interrupted.
"Use an instant cast!" Golden Fragrance was annoyed.
