In the competition channel, Rivervale and Tomahawk both entered the scene of a planet filled with plants.
The trees were so tall that they covered the sky. Only a little bit of sunlight shone through the dense canopy. The light was cut by the swaying branches, leaving light spots on the ground.
The two teams appeared in different positions in the forest. The audience could switch between the views of different teams and players. The bullet screen was very dense, and most of them were cheering for Rivervale.
"Go Rivervale, beat Tomahawk!"
"First place against eighth place. Isn't that a casual fight?"
"Go Miss Maple Moon!"
The finals had five rounds, and each round had to be fought five times. There were five different types of battles. The first round was the team battle, followed by the arena, capture the flag, dungeon competition, and dungeon generation. Different victory points were given according to the results of the battle. Finally, the winner of the round would be decided based on the number of victory points.
The one-minute countdown slowly reached the end. As the number reached zero, the first round of the finals officially began. The two teams on the screen immediately moved. Maple Moon threw out a compressed orb, which turned into a steeple-shaped base station that was half the height of a person. It was used to cover their tracks and mislead detection. At the bottom of the base station, there was a bright Black Star Corps logo — Army product, excellent performance, guaranteed quality.
On the other side, Tomahawk also covered their tracks, but they used a magic tool. The leader of Tomahawk, Captain Viking, took out a black scroll from his magic pouch. It was covered with dazzling golden magic runes. He tore the scroll with both hands, and a white gas with a high concentration of magic flowed out and covered the entire Tomahawk team. Everyone's body became translucent.
Han Xiao was also looking at the forums. When he saw the special runes on the scroll, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "Oh, this is a supreme magic scroll?"
The material of this magic scroll was very rare. It could contain more powerful spells, and it had to be made by hand. Han Xiao had seen Lagi make one before, and it was at least Master-level spells. It was very expensive. Tomahawk was obviously very rich to use a concealment spell on it.
"In the final circle, all the teams have revealed their trump cards." Han Xiao was interested.
After reaching the International Finals, all the squadrons would no longer hold anything back. All of them would go all out and reveal all of their trump cards. This kind of situation would add a lot of variables, and the strength of the squadrons would fluctuate tremendously. It would be difficult to predict the strength of the other squadrons through their previous battle records.
Team battles had always been the way of the kings. Different battle tactics would be formulated according to different scenarios. For example, in such a large forest, it was obvious that they would need to fight in the forest. The main point was to conceal themselves and discover the enemy. It was a battle of wits and courage.
After covering their tracks, the two battle teams began to look for their opponents. Rivervale relied on multiple detection radars, while Tomahawk cast rune magic and added magic such as "Insight", "Clairvoyance", "Aura Detection" and so on. Due to cultural reasons, Swedish Tomahawk preferred to use magic.
The two teams moved slowly, and the atmosphere was tense. Under such circumstances, the commentator of the Chinese Competition Channel began to explain the match to liven up the atmosphere.
"Alright, both teams have entered the battlefield. As we can see, the small map of the battlefield is divided into sixteen areas. The top left is A1, and the bottom right is D4. The horizontal lines are arranged according to the same letter but different numbers. Rivervale is currently at A3, at the top of the map. Tomahawk is at C1, at the bottom left. Now, we will see what route they will take … Oh! Sure enough, both sides have used the High Altitude Maneuver! "
A member of Tomahawk was a birdman. He spread his wings, broke through the canopy, and flew in the air, overlooking the battlefield. On the other side, Maple Moon threw a few compressed orbs into the sky, turning them into floating soldiers. They patrolled in the sky at an even faster speed.
To the current players, flying was already very simple. However, in this scenario, due to the cover of the trees, flying did not have much of an advantage.
With the compressed orb technology, mechanical equipment was much more portable. The capacity and speed of the machines that Mechanics could bring with them were greatly increased, and the changes brought about were completely subversive. Just like in the previous version, Maple Moon could not bring dozens of machines with her, nor could she complete the field with a wave of her hand.
On the screen, the flying troops of both teams quickly discovered each other, and the flying players of Tomahawk easily destroyed the floating soldiers that were not supported by Mechanical Force.
The commentator was excited. "Oh! The scouts of both teams have broken out into a short battle. Look at the next actions of both sides … It seems like Tomahawk has adopted the strategy of sprinting, and the entire team is rushing toward the position of the scouts. As for Rivervale … Oh, Rivervale seems to have grasped the location of their opponents and is circling around! Player Maple Moon has set up a large number of mines and mechanical traps along the way. She is trying to turn the entire battlefield into her own territory! As long as Mechanics are given time, they will be able to expand their advantage. Now, Tomahawk is in a passive position … "
The playstyle of the Rivervale team was originally leaning toward the Mechanic class. Their captain, Mad Blade, was a Mechanical Pugilist himself. After Maple Moon joined, their playstyle became more and more cunning. The scariest thing was that not only were they good at scheming, but they were also better at shooting than you.
The Tomahawk team was soon hit hard. They encountered the mines set up by Maple Moon, and they were blown up.
Under the rumbling chain of explosions, the lush forest turned into a sea of fire. At the very least, in terms of scene destruction, the Mechanic class was the undisputed number one!
Their opponents stepped into the traps, and Rivervale no longer hid. They changed their route and attacked directly. The players of Tomahawk were all equipped with Mana Powered Armors, but compared to the army's products, these high-quality Mana Powered Armors were completely inferior.
Mad Blade dashed left and right, and all kinds of mechanical weapons danced in the wind. The other members cooperated well, and after sacrificing two people, they successfully wiped out Tomahawk and won the team battle.
In the competition channel, the Chinese audience was in a good mood.
"Haha, I knew it. Rivervale will definitely crush Tomahawk. First place in the Regular Season is not given for nothing."
"The people of Tomahawk have experienced it. This is what it feels like to be in the version."
"With the addition of Miss Maple Moon, Rivervale is not just a little bit stronger."
"Miss Maple Moon is strong and gentle. I'm a fan now. When are you going to release a picture?"
"Aunt Rainy Kim is already an old woman. She's not as young and beautiful as Miss Maple Moon. Sorry, I'm going to fall in love with someone else. It's not that you're not good enough. It's just that my standards are a little too high."
"You've forgotten about your wife now that you have a new lover. Scumbags who like the new and hate the old are just trash!"
Amidst the ruckus, the two teams finished their rest and began the Single Elimination Tournament. Tomahawk sent out an ordinary player to scout ahead, while Rivervale's selection made the spectators excited. The first to go up was actually their captain, Frenzied Sword.
Now that Rivervale had won the group battle, their captain was the first to fight in the arena. It was obvious that they wanted to completely suppress their opponents in terms of aura. They wouldn't let them off easily. The audience could feel Rivervale's confidence and dominance from this ranking.
The commentator's tone was excited, and he spoke like a machine gun.
"For the first battle of the group battle, Rivervale's captain, Mad Blade, has requested to fight. Although it's a pity that he didn't make it into the top sixteen, he's ranked eighteenth in the International Regular Season. If he's lucky, he might be able to make it into the finals. Now, let's look at the battle situation … Oh, as expected! Mad Blade defeated his opponent effortlessly. The Mechanical Pugilist class has the advantages of both the Mechanic class and the Pugilist class. In this version where the Mechanic class is strong, this class has a huge advantage. "
On the screen, Mad Blade adopted a tough fighting style. He did not dodge and directly attacked. He threw out compressed orbs, turned them into different mechanical traps, and controlled the opponent's position. In terms of control, Mechanical Pugilists were much stronger than pure Pugilists.
After easily closing in on his opponent, Frenzied Sword unleashed a flurry of combos. The style of combos was very different from the melee combat of Pugilists. The mechanical weapons were switched in a dazzling manner. Swords, hammers, axes, guns, whips, cannons, and so on. Using different weapons to continue the combo, this extremely difficult to control combo flowed smoothly like water, emptying the opponent's HP bar in less than a minute.
He was really strong, and he was also really handsome. Although his class was no longer the Pugilist from his previous life, Mad Blade clearly had a second chance.
Tomahawk could no longer sit still. Captain Viking was the second to go out and face Mad Blade. It was a captain versus a captain.
Captain Viking was a Pugilist. He took off his heavy armor and activated a berserk buff that was triggered when he was unarmored. His exposed skin was covered in green runes that provided defense and regeneration. He held two orange grade enchanted axes.
"Roar! Blood and glory!" Captain Viking slammed his axes together and roared at Mad Blade.
Mad Blade stood opposite him with his hands on his waist and was speechless.
"As expected of a Pugilist. His resistance to shame is really high …"
He was so immersed in the role. This foreigner was indeed fond of cosplay.
Right at this moment, the phantom of a muscular man suddenly appeared behind Captain Viking and disappeared in a flash. Immediately after, Captain Viking's muscles swelled up like balloons, and the Pugilist flames on his body, which were originally in a burning state, seemed to have turned into napalm, exploding violently.
With a boom, his aura skyrocketed!
On his status bar, a new buff appeared. Captain Viking had used a Character Summon Card!
The commentator's expression changed. "Glory Clan's berserk. Melee Attack + 50%, Physical Resistance + 30%, Strength + 400, Agility + 200, Max Health + 20%, Movement Speed + 40%, and 300 Frost Damage per attack for five minutes! This Character Summon Card is really strong! "
Seeing this, the bullet screen immediately exploded.
"He used a Character Summon Card. This is bad."
"Let's see if Mad Blade has a powerful Character Summon Card. If he doesn't, it's over."
The Character Summon Card was a rare item, and the stronger the Character Summon Card, the harder it was to obtain. All the pro players treated it as their trump card, and now that it was the finals, no one would hold back. At this time, Captain Viking had used one of his trump cards.
An item like the [Black Star Corps Badge: Evolution] was only available in a single region, so it was normal for it to be banned. However, the Character Summon Card was different. Any player had a chance to obtain it, and the only difference was the effect. Therefore, it was not on the banned list, but there were restrictions.
Because there were five different types of battles in each round, the rules stated that the Character Summon Card could not be carried over to the next battle. In other words, even if Captain Viking killed his way through the group arena and the effect of the Character Summon Card was not over, he would have to refresh his status after death. He could not carry over the Character Summon Card's buff to the next battle.
The Character Summon Cards of the pro players were even rarer, and they were shown to the audience in the Pro League. This was to make the battles more exciting and attract more attention. This rule not only provided more excitement, but it also reduced the impact of the Character Summon Card on the entire competition.
After all, every round was a best of five, and there were at least fifteen battles. The Character Summon Cards could not be traded, so being able to take out fifteen amazing Character Summon Cards was also a skill. Furthermore, the others also had Character Summon Cards, so it was hard to say who had more treasures.
Seeing the change in his opponent, Mad Blade's gaze became firm, and he activated a Character Summon Card.
A shadow of a handsome man in black appeared behind him. He was as tall as an indomitable spirit. Many of the spectators recognized this figure at a glance and instantly became excited.
"Whoa, Black Star!"
"It's here, it's here! I knew it! How could Mad Blade not have a character summon card!"
"I remember that Mad Blade also used Black Star's character card in the previous season?"
"Now that Black Star is a Beyond Grade A, how can the effect be the same?"
The many army players were excited. Han Xiao's interface had always been filled with question marks. They could only get a glimpse of Han Xiao's strength through dungeon battles and Character Summon Cards. Now, their curiosity was piqued.
A new buff appeared on Mad Blade's status bar, and everyone looked over.
Seeing the effect of the character summon card, the chat went silent for a moment before exploding.
"F * ck, what kind of sick ability is this?!"
"No wonder Black Star has this title in the universe … Who the hell can withstand this!"
Countless army players were dumbfounded.
Although Captain Viking's Character Summon Card was powerful, it was still acceptable. However, the effect of Black Star's Character Summon Card was far beyond their understanding. Everyone was shocked!
Is this the standard of a Beyond Grade A? Just a single ability was already so terrifying!
His damage output was high, he had many minions, and he was incredibly tanky …
With Black Star's ability, let alone now, they would not be able to kill such a terrifying boss in the future!
"Hmm? Why does he have my Character Summon Card?" Han Xiao was stunned. He did not remember giving out such a mission.
Thinking about it, Han Xiao understood. It was most likely that Mad Blade had obtained a blank Character Summon Card and copied his ability. The two talents were combined into his nickname — [Indestructible Body].
"Alright, after upgrading my talent, I haven't used it many times myself. You've really enjoyed it."
Han Xiao shook his head and laughed.
