Was he close enough?
Team Everlasting's Warlock player was more nervous than anyone else. This was because their research this past week had shown that this One Inch Ash was an extremely crafty guy. Even though he had successfully approached his opponent's flank, could this be a trap?
Leopold didn't continue forward, nor did he immediately start casting. Team Everlasting's Warlock wanted to observe for a bit longer. However, Red Flower Pavilion didn't have many places to hide. One Inch Ash's sudden turn left Leopold nowhere to hide, exposing him to his opponent's line of sight.
The spectating Team Everlasting's players let out a sigh of regret. From their omniscient view, they could clearly see that One Inch Ash hadn't hidden any traps. Leopold really did have an opportunity to seize the initiative. However, he was too cautious and missed this opportunity.
As soon as One Inch Ash turned around, he immediately saw Leopold on his flank and immediately began to move out of the way. Charging straight at a long-ranged class like this wasn't a wise choice, especially against a Warlock class with strong crowd control.
The opportunity was fleeting. As soon as he saw One Inch Ash begin to move away, Team Everlasting's Warlock knew that he had missed the initiative and was vexed. However, he had to be careful! He quickly remembered what the tactical board had repeatedly emphasized when facing One Inch Ash. As a result, he began to ponder. Could this sudden retreat be the next step in his opponent's trap?
As a result, not only did Team Everlasting's Warlock not let Leopold catch up, he also changed directions and circled around to approach One Inch Ash.
The spectating Team Everlasting's players looked at each other in dismay. They could see that Leopold was being overly cautious in this match. With such heavy thoughts, they would always think that there was something wrong with the opponent.
After careful maneuvering, the two characters once again encountered each other in a narrow path.
Red flowers fluttered in the air under Red Flower Pavilion. The two characters both controlled the power of darkness. When they turned their heads, they discovered that the other was already so close to them.
It had already been eight minutes since the start of the match …
The spectators were so helpless that they couldn't even continue cheering. Team Everlasting's Warlock was extremely cautious, but Qiao Yifan wasn't going to let him down either. However, Qiao Yifan's caution was reasonable. When facing a dangerous profession like the Warlock, it was better to stay as close to the opponent as possible. Wei Chen's Hand of Death, which had a casting distance of + 4, made him go wild with joy and flaunt his prowess. It was clear how important this extra casting distance was to a Warlock.
Under such circumstances, it wasn't that the two of them hadn't met before. It was just that both of them felt that the opportunity wasn't good, so they kept avoiding each other.
Thus, they walked for a full eight minutes. Their encounter this time was a coincidence. If the audience were to see this, they would even find it a little funny. It was as if two people were walking backwards, looking for each other, and suddenly bumped into each other back-to-back.
Of course, the scene that these two triggered was not so exaggerated. However, it was true that they had inadvertently discovered each other, and they were already very close to each other.
Opportunity!
It was a trap!
This was the difference in mentality between the two players.
The shorter distance was, of course, more advantageous for Qiao Yifan. He had been walking cautiously in search of an opportunity to get closer to the other party. Now that it had happened, if he didn't make a move now, when would he?
As for Team Everlasting's Warlock player, how could he have known that Qiao Yifan was just as surprised as he was? As soon as he saw that the situation he triggered was more advantageous for his opponent, his first thought was that he had still fallen into the other party's trap.
After eight minutes of careful movement, he still wasn't able to escape this kind of fate?
The Warlock player couldn't help but panic because he didn't even know when he had fallen into the trap.
One Inch Ash was already charging over.
Moonlight Slash!
The gorgeous saber light drew a 216-degree arc, and with the dark attribute of the Ghost God's power, it was already heading straight for Leopold.
Team Everlasting's Warlock player panicked, but he didn't slow down. He immediately dodged to the side. Moonlight Slash followed by Full Moonlight Slash was a common slash combo used by both Sword Demons and Phantom Demons. One Inch Ash was no exception. However, this 360 degree arc of sword light wasn't perpendicular to the ground like normal, but rather slanted at an angle.
This was how Full Moonlight Slash could be used to change the angle of attack. When used like this, the Full Moonlight Slash had a name given by the players themselves, "Slanted Moonlight Slash".
The name was purely a nickname given by the players. The damage and other effects of the skill wouldn't change at all. However, with this slanting, the angle of attack would change. Leopold dodged the Moonlight Slash, but he couldn't dodge the Full Moonlight Slash.
The Full Moonlight Slash also had a strong blow away effect. Leopold was sent flying by the slash. On the other side, One Inch Ash pointed his sword at the sky. A purple light flashed and a gap seemed to be torn open in the air above his sword finger. Then, with a series of "Clang Clang Clang Clang" sounds, several tombstones of varying length and height fell from the sky. Ghostblade skill: Death's Tombstones.
This skill was a pure damage skill, but if you were hit by the tombstones, you would still be stunned for a short time. This was a bonus to any attack.
At this moment, Leopold was still flying through the air. Death's Tombstones were descending. How could he dodge? He was smashed into the ground by one of the tombstones. In this situation, Death's Tombstones' control effect was greater than their attack damage. Leopold was struck down by a tombstone, but there were more tombstones behind him. This was a continuous attack skill with a time limit. Leopold, who was smashed to the ground, couldn't run out of the circle.
Then, it was time for the Phantom Demon to perform. After a series of chants, when Death's Tombstones ended, One Inch Ash had already placed down two Ghost Boundaries.
The Ice Boundary, which had the most obvious effect of restricting movement, obviously couldn't be missed. The other was a Plague Array, a ghost array that would weaken the defensive power of the target within the array.
Leopold's movement speed was slowed down by the ice shards in the Ice Boundary, and then his defense was weakened by the Plague Boundary. After his character was affected by the Plague Boundary, his back was hunched and he looked very weak. He struggled to get out of the boundary's range. At this moment, the third Ghost Boundary had already been placed.
Sword Boundary!
A Ghost Boundary that increased the character's Strength and Intelligence.
Strength and Intelligence were the two main attributes that directly affected the damage dealt. At this moment, movement speed was slowed, defense was lowered, and the character's Strength and Intelligence were greatly increased. This was the perfect time for a Ghostblade to explode.
Without hesitation, One Inch Ash's sword slashed towards Leopold's body.
Leopold didn't have any strength to fight back. He was still trapped by a Ghost Boundary. Even if he wasn't, the Level 55 One Inch Ash was already able to make the Level 70 Windward Formation suffer. This Warlock really wasn't good at close combat.
The sword light emitting the power of the Ghost God flashed, cutting away Leopold's health bit by bit. The three Ghost Boundaries that had been placed down earlier began to disappear, but new Ghost Boundaries were placed down at the same time as the old ones disappeared. When the Ice Boundary disappeared, the Flame Boundary fell. When the Plague Boundary disappeared, the Ash Boundary fell.
The Ash Boundary was a very interesting Ghost Boundary. The weight of all the items on the enemy character within the Ash Boundary would increase by a percentage based on the Ash Boundary's level. A max-level Ash Boundary could increase a character's weight by two times.
The increase in a character's weight directly affected a character's jumping ability and movement speed. The effect on attack speed might not be particularly important to normal players, but at the pro level, this small difference could be the difference between victory and defeat if one didn't pay attention.
Team Everlasting's Warlock player didn't have time to think about these things. At this moment, One Inch Ash was so close to him that it would be very difficult for him to escape with or without a Ghost Boundary. In the previous eight minutes, the two had been very careful, often going their separate ways after seeing each other. But this time, it had only been a minute, and Leopold's health had already dropped by half. As for One Inch Ash? In such a close combat situation, Leopold had no chance to attack. He had just won a complete victory over Han Yanrou, but now, he was about to lose to One Inch Ash?
Team Everlasting's Warlock player obviously wasn't willing to accept this. He had finally gotten the advantage in a 3v2, but now the opponent had caught up to him. It was too depressing. However, after thinking about this, this player suddenly realized something.
That's right! This was the group arena. Even though everyone was fighting for themselves, it was still a competition that required teamwork. He could lose this match, but before he lost, he had to do his best to create an advantage for his two teammates.
Victory didn't necessarily require victory in the first match, but it definitely required the efforts of the first player.
Perhaps he should have been more daring from the start?
Team Everlasting's Warlock player was a bit vexed. With a 3v2 advantage in hand, why did he have to be so conservative! If he had been more proactive from the start, the situation might have been different now.
But if he worked hard now, he might still have a chance.
Team Everlasting's Warlock player suddenly calmed down. On the other hand, Qiao Yifan's performance wasn't flawless. Soon, Team Everlasting's Warlock player took advantage of the short gap between the two skills. With a roll, he dodged the attack. Immediately afterwards, Leopold began casting his skills.
If it was before, he would have felt that this distance was too dangerous, but now, his mentality had changed. He wanted to deal as much damage as possible to leave behind the next two players in a more advantageous situation.
Lacerate!
He cast an instant cast skill, followed by a Curse Arrow. He didn't need to charge it up before releasing it.
Soul Strike, Corrosion, Control …...
Attack and control skills were thrown out from Leopold's hands. Team Everlasting's Warlock player instantly found the feeling he had in the previous match. The more he fought, the better, the smoother it got. Taking advantage of a small gap, he instantly launched a wave of counterattacks.
