Even though activating this skill would cause Takeda Tomo to lose her weapon temporarily and cost her 500 Mana Points, the effect of this skill was indeed very powerful …
First of all, the units within the [Rakshasa's Heavenly Pillar] could not be killed. Before the pillar disappeared, they could not attack, use skills, items, or any other special abilities. Of course, the attacks of those outside the pillar could not penetrate the pillar.
Secondly, anyone inside or outside the pillar could enter or leave the area of effect of the pillar. However … regardless of whether they entered or exited the pillar, they would receive damage equivalent to 95% of their maximum Life Points.
In other words, King of Shadows had two options. One, he could stay inside the Cosmic Sky Pillar and wait for the skill effect to wear off. Two, he could charge out of the range of the Cosmic Sky Pillar and regain his freedom of movement, but his health would drop to a near-death state.
Obviously, the second option was too risky. The Shadow King's physical skills were very average. Even if Takeda Tomo was unarmed and was being chased by the Platinum Golem, it was not difficult for her to kill a character with only 5% Life Points … Even if she had to sacrifice her HP, she would still be able to do it.
Therefore, the Shadow King could only choose the first option …
Staying inside the pillar would be absolutely safe for at least 30 seconds. This way … when the pillar disappeared, the Shadow King would still have full HP. Even though the opponent might use the thirty seconds to charge up a big move and attack him at the right time (this was a tactic that Takeda Tomo often used, and it was not a secret), with his HP full, King of Shadows had a lot of room to maneuver. No matter what, it was better than running out with only five percent of his HP left.
All in all, the Shadow King realized that he was not at a disadvantage. He even felt that … Takeda Tomo's use of the skill was a bit of a mistake. It was a very powerful CC skill, but it did not give her any obvious advantage. At most, it could buy her some time.
Even the commentators and audience thought that this was a bad move. Because … if she really wanted to buy time, she might as well use the skill on herself.
However, in just two seconds, Takeda Tomo used her actions to slap everyone in the face.
"Eh? This is … "
When the opponent charged towards the Yuan Heavenly Pillar without hesitation, even the usually calm Shadow King was shocked.
Everyone could see that Takeda Tomo had lost more than 5% of her HP in the fight with the Platinum Rock Demon. She definitely could not afford the damage to enter and exit the Cosmic Pillar.
But … she still resolutely rushed into the pillar.
The moment he stepped into the Yuan Heavenly Pillar, Takeda Tomo fell to one knee and spat out blood. His face was contorted in pain.
But … she didn't die.
This was to be expected, because the units in [Rakshasa's Heavenly Pillar] could not be killed.
Even though Takeda Tomo's Life Points were less than 95% when she entered the Pillar, due to Yun Tianzhu's' Pillar Immortality Principle ', her Life Points were instantly reduced to 1%. The excess damage was converted into Psychic Shock.
Bang!
A second later, the Platinum Rock Demon that was chasing after its target caught up to them. It immediately fell forward and fell to the ground.
At this moment, Shadow King finally understood. His eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Hey, that's amazing …"
"Phew …" After taking a few seconds to adjust her breathing, Takeda Tomo stood up again. Because her HP was not overloaded by much, the pain subsided quickly. "Hmph … If you didn't run into my skill's range, I wouldn't have been able to use this' amazing skill '."
Now, two players and a golem were within the range of the Yuan Heavenly Pillar. Even though the difference in their HP was huge, under the premise that they could not 'damage each other', it was meaningless …
Before the skill ended, Takeda Tomo would not step out anymore. If she did, she would die. As for the golem … Shadow King would not order it to step out and commit suicide. Shadow King could step out himself, but that would not benefit him at all. He would not be able to kill his opponent, and he would lose 95% of his Life Points.
In conclusion, in the next twenty seconds, the few inside the pillar could only wait.
"I thought you made a mistake when you used this skill, but now that I think about it … it is a Title Skill after all. The owner's understanding of it is different from us outsiders." Since he had nothing else to do, Shadow King decided to chat with Takeda Tomo. "Even though I know the effect of your skill, the first thing that came to my mind was to use it on myself …" He shrugged. "But you … you used the fact that the unit inside the pillar will not die. You decisively sacrificed a large amount of Life Points in exchange for time and space …"
"You flatter me." Takeda Tomo replied coldly. "It was not a quick decision, it was just experience … After all, this Title Skill has been with me for a long time, and I have used it to deal with many different situations."
At this moment, the audience finally realized what was going on. Amazing, it was indeed amazing.
If Takeda Tomo did as the audience thought and focused the skill around herself, then she would indeed be able to avoid the loss of Life Points and temporarily escape from the battle. However, if she did that … within thirty seconds, Shadow King, who had full Life Points, would be able to help his teammates without any worry. In other words, Takeda Tomo had spent a large amount of Life Points to use a crowd-control skill on herself and created a two-versus-one situation for her opponents in half a minute.
Compared to the current situation, the difference between the two was obvious.
"But … there are still one or two things that I do not understand …" Several seconds later, Shadow King continued. "Why didn't you target your skill on the golem?" He paused for half a second before continuing. "In that kind of high-speed attack and defense, I did not have the time to give the golem the command to stop. If you used the Yun Tian Pillar to surround the golem, it would have charged out the moment the skill was activated, and it would have been killed instantly."
"You said it yourself … the speed of attack and defense is very fast. What else do you not understand?" Takeda Tomo crossed his arms in front of his chest and said in an unhappy tone, "If I want to use the method you mentioned to kill the golem, I have to make sure that the moment the [Rakshasa's Heavenly Pillar] appears, the edge of the pillar is between the golem and me.
However, your golem is stronger than me in terms of physical skills. I had to use feints and sudden changes in direction to distance myself from it, and the golem would close the gap again in less than two seconds.
Under such circumstances, it's already difficult to accurately calculate the release point. What's even more disgusting is that … your golem's' reaction time ',' pursuit route ',' instantaneous speed '… are all not fixed. How am I supposed to operate it? "
At this point, she pursed her lips and continued. "Furthermore, this strategy is not only harsh, but it also has a low margin for error. If the skill missed, I would not even have a sword. If the position was wrong, I might even die. So … it is not that I don't want to kill it, but it is too difficult and too risky. If I had a fifty percent chance, I would have already done it."
"Hmm …" Shadow King heard her and nodded. "Alright … it seems like you have seriously considered it. I was too presumptuous."
Takeda Tomo had not only considered it. Ever since she was entangled by the Platinum Golem, she had been desperately trying to come up with a countermeasure. In fact, she had only said half of what she had said.
During this period of time, through constant probing and observation, Takeda Tomo had actually grasped the Platinum Golem's reaction and movement patterns under certain specific actions. If she had a few more seconds, her chances of success would be more than "50%." By then, she would very likely use her Title Skill to successfully instakill the Platinum Golem. Then, the situation … would be completely different.
"Hmph …" Two seconds later, Takeda Tomo let out a proud snort. She immediately said, "By the way … you mentioned that there are 'one or two things' that you don't understand. Other than this, what else is there?"
Shadow King thought for a moment and asked, "Even though you have successfully controlled me and the golem for thirty seconds, and you have dragged the golem's HP down to the brink of death, once the skill's time is up … Based on the golem's HP, Shadow King guessed that Takeda Tomo was forced to stay alive after losing only 1% of her HP. What are your chances of winning against me, who is almost at full HP?"
Just as he finished his sentence, there was only one second left before Rakshasa's Heavenly Pillar was dispelled.
"Heh …" At that second, Takeda Tomo laughed.
As the corners of his mouth curled up, his pupils suddenly turned red.
"Ha!" Immediately after, the Platinum Golem's roar and fist arrived at the same time, aiming directly at the back of Takeda Tomo's neck.
Screech —
The fist fell, but the figure was no longer there.
In a split second, suddenly! A slender white hand pierced through the Shadow King's back and came out of his chest.
The white hand turned into a bloody hand in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, the coldness overwhelmed the pain and attacked the Shadow King's whole body.
"I just need to kill you without getting hurt … Isn't that enough?" In the next second, Takeda Tomo, who felt that victory was in his hands, put his face close to the Shadow King's ear and said this life-threatening declaration in a murderous tone.
At this time, her other hand was holding the katana that returned from the subspace.
As she spoke, she pushed her wrist …
When the tip of the katana came out of the Shadow King's left chest, Old He only felt a chill and his heart stopped.
The fresh blood that flowed out made the blade of the katana red.
The fatal blow also made Takeda Tomo breathe a sigh of relief.
But before she could even exhale, she heard ….
Ta ta ta ta …
In the distance, there was the sound of footsteps approaching like the wind.
Hearing this sound, Takeda Tomo's first reaction was to pull back her katana and slash at the enemy.
Unexpectedly!
"What …" At this moment, Takeda Tomo couldn't pull her katana back.
It wasn't until later when she watched the video that she realized … At this moment, the reason she couldn't pull her katana back was that the Shadow King, who was on the verge of death and had not completely turned into white light, relied on his fuzzy consciousness to command the Platinum Golem, who had a low HP, to hold the tip of her katana.
For Takeda Tomo, who had already transformed into the [Blood Rakshasa] state, this kind of dying counterattack could only hold her back for a moment.
However, it was this moment … that changed the balance of victory and defeat …
Whoosh —
The tip of the long halberd turned into a whirlwind dragon, and an overwhelming fighting spirit broke through the air.
Takeda Tomo, who was a little slower, was hit by the long halberd that came from behind … The tip of the halberd pierced through her armor and body, and was unstoppable. Under the push of a steady and powerful force, it kept moving forward. Even the Shadow King and the Platinum Golem in front of Takeda Tomo were penetrated …
In a short time, three small figures were skewered by the long halberd like mutton skewers.
"Old He, you've worked hard." When Weary Dream's voice fell, the Shadow King had completely turned into light and dissipated, and the Platinum Golem naturally disappeared with its master.
However, Takeda Tomo was not completely dead yet. Although she was about to turn into white light and be teleported, a few seconds before the transformation process began, her body that had not yet disappeared would still be skewered by Weary Dream's long halberd.
And during this period … [Chong Lou] would suck her blood.
As mentioned before, [Chong Lou] could be temporarily strengthened by absorbing blood. The specific strengthening degree was related to the "quantity" and "quality" of the blood.
Takeda Tomo's [Blood Rakshasa] transformation had a similar activation condition as Uesugi Hito's [Ghost Zen Six Strikes], which was that it could only be activated when one was on the verge of death. Although this transformation could only increase one's damage and speed, but could not heal one's HP, the principle of [Blood Rakshasa] was closely related to blood … In general, it was an ability to demonize blood and increase its flow speed.
In short, this "Rakshasa's" blood … was of high quality.
