"I want this day …"
Lin Haoyang shouted out a long string of sentences. He was so ashamed that he wanted to bite off his own tongue, but his mouth wouldn't listen to him.
Lin Haoyang's "silent philosopher" persona was half destroyed after he spoke those childish lines.
Bai Xiaowen took the opportunity to fire a shot at Lin Haoyang, and the Desert Eagle bullet with 100% critical hit whizzed out.
Lin Haoyang was indeed a battle-hardened veteran. His instincts as a Hero saved him. He had long known that Bai Xiaowen's first shot would be terrifying when he entered combat mode, and he had always been on guard against it.
Even in the middle of his childish lines, Lin Haoyang still instinctively activated Blink and dodged the bullet's damage.
"… Vanish into thin air!"
The long string of lines finally came to an end. Lin Haoyang flashed to another position, gritted his teeth, and continued channeling. Another Siphon Arrow was fired.
The Butcher ran with large strides, and Bai Xiaowen followed closely behind like a living shield! Although the Siphon Arrow could be slightly adjusted, it couldn't go around the mountain-like Butcher and hit Bai Xiaowen. It could only hit the Butcher's belly.
Although the Butcher didn't activate Decay and didn't have the set's special effect, the + 4 special effect of the Venomfang Priest robe allowed him to reduce magic damage by 15%. Coupled with his astonishing health, a basic spell was nothing to him.
Two Skeletal Shield Bearers flanked him from behind. Lin Haoyang had no choice but to activate his shoes' acceleration effect and retreat, continuing to widen the distance.
In a mobile battle, there was no way to channel spells. Lin Haoyang relied on his higher movement speed to widen the distance and cast Siphon Arrow. It was a textbook kiting tactic.
Lin Haoyang cast a total of three Siphon Arrows in the 10-second acceleration effect of his shoes! Including the two that the Butcher had taken, there were a total of five Siphon Arrows. In theory, the magic damage exceeded 370 points!
Even a tank-type elite summoned creature would be knocked down by such damage.
However, the Butcher's health had only dropped by a quarter.
Looking at the Butcher's health bar, Lin Haoyang felt a sense of helplessness. What kind of summoned creature was this? It was even tougher than the leader! One had to know that his magic attacks dealt an additional 20% damage to silenced targets.
Not only Lin Haoyang, but even the audience was shocked. After five spells, the Butcher was still as lively as a dragon and lively as a tiger! Although they couldn't see the opponent's HP bar like Lin Haoyang, they could still see some clues from the Butcher's status.
"The mutated Butcher is too strong! With such high HP, he's the perfect meat shield! "
"Mommy, you don't have to worry about me being 'biubiubiu' anymore. As long as I hide behind the butcher, its big butt can perfectly protect my face."
"The Prince of Spirits character … is really quite strong! The Philosopher of Silence has used two important items in a row, but he is still being suppressed by the Psychic Prince … The four lava monsters can't hold on any longer! "
There were already people who were paying attention to the competition. They opened the Virtual Combat Platform's store and secretly unlocked the Psychic Prince character.
Bai Xiaowen had said before that the current Psychic Prince was priced at 9,900 points. After Bai Xiaowen scanned all the information and updated the character's information, the Virtual Combat Platform's company would definitely raise the price. Originally, everyone thought that 9,900 points for an intermediate character was the limit, but now …
The audience's judgment of the situation was correct. Lin Haoyang was being suppressed.
Although Lin Haoyang had used an S-grade summoning item and temporarily had four rare elite summoned creatures, he didn't have a summoning profession's bonus and didn't know how to control them. He could only let the lava constructs fight by instinct.
Fortunately, the lava constructs had the passive AOE ability of "Flame Burn." Even if he didn't control them, the lower limit of their strength wouldn't be too low. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold on.
While Bai Xiaowen was pressuring him, he was also controlling Kitts and the other summoned creatures to fight. He used the method of breaking them down one by one. The elite creatures would hold back the other lava constructs, while the summoned creatures would concentrate their power to kill one of them!
Bai Xiaowen was also constantly attacking. After his first attempt at attacking Lin Haoyang missed, Bai Xiaowen locked onto the lava construct that was being focused on. A rock-steady arm extended from under the Commander's cloak and continuously shot at the first lava construct.
Of the four lava constructs, one died in a dozen seconds! Then, the summoned creatures rushed out and surrounded the second one …
Bai Xiaowen was very calm. With the battle situation like this, he didn't need to be anxious at all. This was because the Wrath Claw was only exiled for 75 seconds. If he delayed for too long, the Wrath Claw would return to the battlefield and Lin Haoyang would have no chance at all! Therefore, Bai Xiaowen chose to play it safe.
Lin Haoyang gritted his teeth and threw out a slow spell.
This skill had clearly been trained to a rather high level. It reduced the movement speed of enemies in the area by 50% and their attack speed by 20%. It was a lot stronger than the basic description of the skill from Insight, and the duration was almost double.
However, the main effect of this skill was still to reduce the opponent's movement speed. As for attack speed … 20% wasn't low, but it wasn't much.
The current situation was that the lava constructs were already tangled up with Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures. They didn't have words like "retreat" or "detour" in their crude battle instincts. They only knew how to wave their burning lava arms and attack any enemy that dared to block their way.
Therefore, the movement speed reduction didn't affect the summoned creatures at all. It just made it easier for Lin Haoyang to move around. Bai Xiaowen was still cooperating with the summoned creatures to attack. It didn't take long for them to kill the second lava construct.
Lin Haoyang could only continue to attack Bai Xiaowen. Siphoning Arrow was shot out one after another! He knew that Bai Xiaowen and the Wrath Claw had a Life-sharing Link. He could only try to defeat Bai Xiaowen while the Wrath Claw wasn't attacking at full strength. If the Wrath Claw returned to the battlefield after being exiled, it would be even more difficult to kill Bai Xiaowen.
Unfortunately, the Butcher was like a sturdy wall, blocking in front of Bai Xiaowen and taking all the magic attacks. The mana drain effect of the Siphoning Arrow could only forcibly drain one point of the Butcher's mental strength each time. It wasn't even enough to support the consumption of the Siphoning Arrow itself …
As for the Butcher running out of mana, would that affect it?
"I can't go on like this … This is slow suicide!"
Lin Haoyang saw that the Butcher's health points were still half. The Wrath Claw's time to return was getting closer. He took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.
Whoosh!
Behind Lin Haoyang's cloak, a pair of transparent wings suddenly unfurled and flapped vigorously, propelling Lin Haoyang's body forward, flying all the way forward. Note that this was only an accelerated sprint, not flight.
"Taking the initiative to close the distance? What kind of tactic is this? "
Bai Xiaowen was slightly startled. Then, he realized something. The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile.
"Oh, you're anxious …"
Lin Haoyang closed in on the Butcher and Bai Xiaowen by a few dozen meters. The surface of his body glowed, and he suddenly cast the battle skill: Land of Flames!
With a boom, the ground within a few dozen meters of Lin Haoyang cracked open. Magma churned, and flames rose up.
This skill was considered Lin Haoyang's ultimate move. Normally, this kind of AOE skill that had a long cooldown time and consumed a lot of mental strength was the hardest to train. However, Lin Haoyang had already trained this skill to a relatively high level. The rising flames had an additional burning debuff that could be stacked!
In addition … there was a 25% speed reduction effect.
The most perverted and shameless thing about this skill was that it didn't need to be maintained to cast it!
After performing the casting action and paying a large amount of mental strength, the Land of Flames under Lin Haoyang's feet would continue to burn for eight seconds. But in these eight seconds, Lin Haoyang didn't need to cast it. He could do other things … such as positioning himself, casting other spells, and so on.
Although the basic damage of the skill wasn't high, the stacking of the burning debuff wouldn't be bearable. Especially when the summoned creatures were affected by the Great Slowing Spell. Under the situation where their movement speed was sharply reduced, it was very difficult to run out of the Land of Flames.
The raging flames surged, and the air distorted.
The Skeleton Swordsmen exploded one by one.
The Skeleton Warriors were also in imminent danger. Kitts had long since used the ability to transform into a bat to escape from the Land of Flames.
Kitts' escape was Bai Xiaowen's order. Kitts had died once in the Ramses Plane world, and had forgotten some things from his childhood. If he died a few more times, he might completely lose his memories.
Fortunately, Shadow Assassins didn't have an advantage against lava constructs, and Stealth was even more disadvantageous for those with mental strength. Bai Xiaowen hadn't been summoned. Otherwise, with his vulnerability to magic, he might have been finished.
The one who was truly firm was the Butcher. Even with the heavy speed reduction effect and the waves of flames burning him, he still slowly moved towards Lin Haoyang.
"What a strong opponent. Even if you used two items, you should be proud to be able to force me to this point. "
Bai Xiaowen didn't say this out loud. He recognized Lin Haoyang's strength from the bottom of his heart. If he said it out loud, it would be tantamount to a provocation.
The Skeletal Fiend Arcane Master cast a Yellow Sky skill from afar, restoring Bai Xiaowen's HP and allowing him to temporarily break out of the Silence state.
Hiding behind the Butcher, before the next wave of burning damage from the Land of Flames took effect, Bai Xiaowen's four-colored runes flickered in his palm, finally locking onto a red color.
His target was Bai Xiaowen himself.
With a clear sound, the Land of Flames debuff on Bai Xiaowen's body dissipated. His skin turned red, and he quickly entered a state where he was immune to crowd control and increased damage! Then, he activated the acceleration effect of his shoes and rushed towards Lin Haoyang!
In fact, Bai Xiaowen would not have needed to use so many skills if he did not have the Land of Flames to slow him down. The duration of the Slow Spell could only be maintained for about half of its duration. After all, he had the passive effect of the Kusanagi Sword's Sincerity, and there were three "strong enemies" on the battlefield: Lin Haoyang and the two lava constructs.
However, Bai Xiaowen had a lot of trump cards, and there was no harm in using them now.
Lin Haoyang was shocked. He had already used his acceleration skill, and there was no other way to increase the distance between him and Bai Xiaowen. He steeled himself, raised his staff, and shot out another Siphon Arrow. This time, there was no Butcher to block it.
At this time, Bai Xiaowen was immune to crowd control, and the Siphon Arrow didn't cause any additional damage.
"You're just a psychic. Even if you rush in front of me, what can you do … I know you have a move called Orochi, and maybe some fighting moves, but so what? How much strength do you have? Twenty or thirty? I have my Mana Shield, and before you fall, your damage output won't be enough to kill me! "
These thoughts flashed through Lin Haoyang's mind. He didn't speak much, but the inner thoughts of a person like him were very rich.
From Lin Haoyang's point of view, Bai Xiaowen's best choice at this time was to leave the Land of Flames while his movement speed wasn't restricted, and buy time to wait for the Wrath Claw to return to the battlefield. Relying on the Berserk Charm's immunity to crowd control to rush in recklessly … he was simply a reckless person!
When Bai Xiaowen rushed in front of Lin Haoyang, he only had about 150 HP left. Although the Berserk Charm made him immune to crowd control, the negative effect of burning would not disappear, and his HP would continue to drop rapidly.
This meant that Bai Xiaowen had lost 170 HP.
If Lin Haoyang had an Insight skill, he would definitely see that Bai Xiaowen's strength was not 20 or 30, but … 48.
Close to 50!
This was close to the strength of a Hero Class of the same level.
But it wasn't over yet. Bai Xiaowen's body flashed with a bloody light, and he cast Blood Rage! Then, a flaming fist heavily bombarded Lin Haoyang's abdomen.
Bang.
A muffled sound like that of a drum.
The phantom of the Orc Warchief, Absolom, roared and pounced!
Lin Haoyang's expression changed, and he quickly bent down, holding his stomach, and staggered back. The Siphon Arrow, which was in the middle of casting, was also interrupted.
Even with the protection of his Mana Shield, Lin Haoyang's HP fell by half in an instant! Although the Mana Shield could offset the imbalance caused by physical attacks to a certain extent and reduce the pain by half, Bai Xiaowen's attack was too fierce, and his Strength was completely beyond Lin Haoyang's estimation.
Bai Xiaowen followed up with a second elbow strike, knocking Lin Haoyang's body into the air. Then, he smashed his elbow down hard.
Puchi.
A chill ran down Lin Haoyang's spine. The Shadow Assassin finally seized the opportunity and stabbed Lin Haoyang in the heart from the back. Then, he pulled out his sword and stabbed again!
Reality proved that when a Mage had no skills and was closed in … no matter how good his damage reduction was, he was just a competent punching bag.
Lin Haoyang fell heavily to the ground, turned into a white light, and was teleported out of the battlefield.
The battle was over, and the winner was — Bai Xiaowen!
When Bai Xiaowen's close-up appeared on the big screen, not only was the auditorium silent, even the audience in front of the TV and computer fell into a momentary daze.
After a very short period of silence, the audience's enthusiasm exploded.
