The three characters walked out from their hiding spots. They looked left and right, but they didn't find any traces of Deception.
"Let's go take a look." Ye Xiu said. Lord Grim walked forward. Han Yanrou and Baozi followed behind him.
"Maybe he went to the bathroom?" Baozi guessed. Even though it was as strange as always, it was still a possibility.
"No matter what, he logged off here, right? Is he going to stay here and wait? "Tang Rou asked.
Baozi had experience playing the game. Tang Rou couldn't be called a noob anymore. She had started playing Glory last December. It had been half a year since June. Most online games were easy to learn, but difficult to master. Glory was the same. That was why there was such a huge difference in skill between pro players and normal players.
Tang Rou had been playing for half a year now. She had been putting in a lot of time every day. If she was still a noob, she would be laughed at. It was just that Glory's leveling cycle was relatively long. After half a year, many players still hadn't stepped into the Heavenly Domain. From this perspective, players in the Heavenly Domain might think that these players were noobs, but Tang Rou clearly didn't have this problem. Her skill surpassed normal players from the very beginning. The key was her knowledge of Glory. It had already been half a year. She wasn't as weak as she had been in the beginning.
"Waiting isn't a solution … …" Ye Xiu said. They only had three pitiful people. If they wanted to wait, they couldn't wait. Should they continue to ask the big guilds for help?
Ye Xiu was thinking, when he suddenly saw something flash in his peripheral vision. He immediately turned around to look and saw Deception jump out from who knows where and quickly formed a hand seal. Ye Xiu saw the hand seal and knew that it was a Shadow Dance, but he was at a loss: why did this guy suddenly take the initiative to attack again? Was his brain damaged?
More than ten shadow clones had already pounced over. Ye Xiu could tell that this was an attack. He really was taking the initiative to attack. Did Deception have some sort of trump card? Seeing the three of them, they actually dared to take the initiative to attack?
Ye Xiu could not figure it out for a moment, but since the opponent was already charging at him, how could he be polite? With a flick of his mouse, the cursor accurately pointed at a shadow clone that was charging at him. Following that, with a beautiful movement, Lord Grim swung his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella into a spear, sending the shadow clone flying. With a shake of the spear, he retracted his spear and transformed it back into its gun form. As he jumped back, he fired a shot. When a shadow clone was hit, Lord Grim quickly retreated with Aerial Fire and dodged out of the encirclement of the shadow clones.
"Retreat for now." Ye Xiu said to Tang Rou and Baozi. This Deception was so daring that Ye Xiu couldn't see through him. He didn't know if this guy had some sort of strange method, but it was always better to be careful.
Tang Rou and Baozi also wanted to retreat, but they couldn't do it as easily as Ye Xiu. It looked like Ye Xiu was only having Lord Grim sweep away a shadow clone with his spear and then jump back with Aerial Fire. In reality, he was also looking at the distribution of shadow clones and paying attention to Deception's movements to determine the direction of his breakthrough. Normal players wouldn't be able to notice these things even if they were looking at them.
When Tang Rou and Baozi tried to retreat, they used a ruthless method. However, it wasn't like the two of them didn't use their brains at all. The two of them each ran in opposite directions. As a result, unless Deception could force the two of them to stay where they were, he wouldn't be able to deal with both sides. The Heart of Shadow Dance had a limited area of effect!
Ye Xiu, who had long since escaped from the AOE, saw this and knew that Deception wouldn't be able to keep the two of them here with a Shadow Dance.
Tang Rou was so fierce!
At this moment, her spear danced. Light, dark, ice, fire, and five types of Chasers surrounded her. Deception's many shadow clones were desperately trying to keep her here, giving the Chasers an opportunity to fill the air. Chasers were the Battle Mage's biggest specialty. Even though Battle Mages dealt magic damage based on Intelligence, because of the buffs from Chasers, even a strength-based Battle Mage like Han Yanrou wouldn't neglect to use Chasers.
Tang Rou had been in Glory for a long time. She was already very familiar with the specialty of Battle Mages. Right now, she was using all sorts of pre-cast skills to break out of the encirclement. Every time a Chaser hit a target, a Chaser would fly out. At the same time, a new Chaser would appear. This cycle would continue. In the Battle Mage faction, this was known as the "Chaotic Chaser Flow". Some people who specialized in this playstyle would even give up on the Battle Mages' Battle Mages specialized in the Battle Mages' Battle Mages' Battle Mages. Instead, they would use a Magic Staff. The Magic Staff's attack speed was higher, its magic damage was higher, and its bonus was Intelligence. Battle Mages who specialized in the "Chaotic Chaser Flow" would definitely crazily pile on Intelligence to increase the damage of their Chasers. This sort of extreme playstyle didn't exist in the current pro scene. This was because Chasers had a lot of restrictions. For one, they needed to hit a specific target to create a specific Chaser. For another, they needed to hit the target to create a Chaser. And for the damage of a Chaser, even if one's Intelligence was through the roof, it still couldn't be compared to a normal high-level skill. As a result, their burst damage wasn't enough.
As a result, in the pro scene, the "Chaotic Chaser Flow" was only a support skill. It was very rarely used as a main attack skill. Ye Xiu had obviously taught Tang Rou before. However, right now, she was trapped by a Shadow Dance. Using the "Chaotic Chaser Flow" to break out of the encirclement was a pretty good decision by Tang Rou. At this moment, Chasers flew everywhere. Light, Dark, Ice, and Fire. These five Chasers had different colors too. The explosions caused Deception's shadow clones to be covered in a variety of colors. What was even more frightening was that Chaser attacks counted towards the combo. The accumulation of the combo would activate the Battle Mage's Awakening skill: Battle Spirit.
As a matter of fact, Han Yanrou's body quickly glowed with a faint golden light. As the combo count continued to rise, the golden light became brighter and brighter. The shadow clones of Shadow Dance had unexpectedly all become targets for Han Yanrou's combo.
"What the hell is he doing?" Ye Xiu was even more confused. He had been waiting for Deception to use a high-level skill, but this guy was still playing around with his Shadow Dance. As a result, he had fed Han Yanrou's Battle Spirit. If this continued, how was he going to retreat? His Shadow Dance was going to be broken by Tang Rou. No … … saying that it was broken was being polite. If it ended up like this, it would become Han Yanrou's stimulant!
Tang Rou had clearly deduced this as well. She felt that there was no point in dodging this Shadow Dancer. In the end, her so-called charge was nothing more than an act. She stood in the middle of the encirclement and began fighting with the various shadow clones.
Finally … …
The shadow clones disappeared. It wasn't because all of them had been destroyed, nor was it because the skill's duration had run out. Deception had canceled the skill himself. He had clearly realized that his Shadow Dance had backfired. But how did it turn out like this? Ye Xiu really wanted to go up and interview this guy.
But when Baozi saw that the annoying things were gone, he immediately threw a brick over even more bravely than Tang Rou.
How could Deception fall for such a simple and crude attack? He leaned to the side and then used a Shadow Clone Technique. His character floated away. It looked like he was trying to run away?
What the hell was he doing? Ye Xiu chased after Lord Grim. He really, really didn't understand.
Baozi chased after him energetically while yelling: "Punk, don't run! You actually dared to hide and ambush us!!"
Hide and ambush us!?
After Ye Xiu heard Baozi yell, he suddenly understood.
Lord Grim decisively chased after him. Tang Rou and Baozi also quickly followed. After upgrading their equipment, they weren't surprised by Deception's movement speed anymore. Lord Grim constantly harassed him with long-ranged attacks. Baozi's Invasion also threw a brick from time to time. Deception was greatly affected. He couldn't run smoothly. He twisted and turned in S and Z directions for a while. In the end, the three caught up. Lord Grim's spear trembled as he used a Circle Swing. But with a "hu", before the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella could reach him, Deception was already thrown into the air. Han Yanrou's Circle Swing had arrived first.
"Don't fight! Don't fight!" Ye Xiu hastily tried to dissuade her. He didn't want to kill Deception so quickly. He was afraid that Tang Rou would kill him in a fit of anger.
After a Circle Swing, Deception fell heavily to the ground. Han Yanrou pulled back her spear. Deception immediately tried to get up, but Baozi's Invasion smashed a brick into his head.
"You're really ruthless! You actually took the initiative to come to us. "Ye Xiu watched and had Lord Grim fire two shots at Deception as he spoke. He had already guessed most of Deception's actions.
This guy really did come to ambush them.
Deception hadn't been online for the past few days, but how could a scrap picker like him be idle during such a good time to scrap pick? He clearly didn't only have one account. These past few days, he had been using other accounts to scrap pick. Everyone was a scrap picker. They all went to the places with the most good stuff. And today, Deception's alternate account had seen Ye Xiu's group of three in this area after Blue Brook Guild's elite group had swept through the area.
Every time the three picked up a full load of items, they would carry them back. Because of this, their character's movement speed, attack speed, jump speed, and other stats would all be greatly affected. Deception noticed this, so he decisively switched accounts and prepared to ambush the three of them.
He hadn't run all the way here to pick up scraps. He had the same idea as Ye Xiu. He had been waiting for a chance to ambush Ye Xiu. Hadn't he just been hiding in a place, and when he saw Ye Xiu's group of three come over, he immediately came out? But after fighting for a while, Deception quickly realized that something wasn't right. How could three characters be so nimble when they were being weighed down by heavy weights? Once he realized this, wouldn't Deception immediately run away?
Ye Xiu really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had planned on letting this guy know his strength, but he hadn't expected this guy to be so daring. As soon as he saw an opportunity, he actually thought of ambushing them alone.
Unfortunately, if he hadn't been alone, if he had more friends and more information like Ye Xiu, he might have known that Ye Xiu's group had quickly cleared out the weights after he logged on.
