Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 177 The Most Ideal Match
The effect of "Sealing the Demon" did not have much impact on the Bone Dragon, which relied more on conventional physical attack methods to fight. With the attack ability of the "Forbidden Demon Bow" alone, Wangyue Canglang could not effectively block the Bone Dragon's forced attack. After being hit by several heavy arrows, the Bone Dragon soon approached him, forcing him to be in a panic. Most of his energy was spent on performing the "Entity Shadow" skill to dodge, and he did not have much spare time to threaten me. Unless he was willing to use other pseudo-artifacts to help, it would be difficult for him to get rid of the Bone Dragon's entanglement with his normal combat power, and hurt me who was fully protected by another Bone Dragon, and could not stop me from replenishing my mental power in time. However, using pseudo-artifacts again would make him more passive. If he could not kill me within the one-hour game time limit, he would still end up defeated in the end, and it would only be a meaningless waste of more pseudo-artifacts.
Perhaps because he was not sure that he could kill me, and considering the professional and team competitions later, facing the approaching bone dragon and my "Touch of Death", Wangyue Canglang did not use the second pseudo-artifact after all, and insisted on fighting me with conventional means, trying to avoid the blockade of the bone dragon by moving quickly and reasonably, looking for a gap to create an opportunity to attack me directly, making the last effort. However, as a veteran of many battles, I naturally would not make a fatal mistake at such a critical moment. I was careful everywhere and cautious at every step, and never let myself be directly exposed to the threat of his sharp arrows.
When I absorbed enough spiritual power, I cast "Summon the Dead" again and summoned two more white bone dragons. The situation was hopeless for Wangyue Canglang, and he was powerless to turn the tide. The close attack of the three white bone dragons made it impossible for him to avoid it. He was severely injured and soon was torn into pieces by the three dragons. He died on the field and lost the quarter-finals.
After successfully advancing to the next round of the Supreme Honor, I also succeeded in getting the second place in the semi-finals. Although the process was full of twists and turns, and quite tense and difficult, I was once forced to a disadvantage by Wangyue Canglang, and almost fell into his hands, which made him truly a "Mage Killer". However, the true qualities of a strong man are revealed in times of crisis. My on-the-spot performance fully demonstrated my strong strength and good combat quality, and presented a wonderful and exciting game, which won the recognition and support of more neutral audiences without bias. Even Wangyue Canglang, who was eliminated, was very graceful and praised me a lot when he was interviewed by the reporter of "Tianmei" after the game, thinking that I was indeed worthy of being one of the three super powers of "Tianxia" today. If I can continue this performance in the next game, and if I am not too unlucky and encounter the challenges of the Fearless Warrior and the Supreme Honor one after another, there is a relatively large hope that I can successfully win the title of "The World's No. 1 Master".
As for the fact that I was forced to use up the last of Xiao Bai's possession today and could no longer use the "teleportation" ability, it should not have much impact on the next two rounds of the game. Regardless of whether the knight, warrior or priest wins, I can usually deal with them with the "blood bat transformation". There will be no ability that forces me to use "teleportation" to dodge. What I will start with will be a real contest of strength.
The third match was between Fearless Warrior and Dragon Walker. As the former top player and a well-known veteran in the Eastern Continent, Dragon Walker's ranking has declined recently because he has not been able to possess the second artifact. First, I, who was becoming more and more popular, took away the honor of "the first person in darkness", and even squeezed him out of the ranks of super strong people. He felt that he was a hero in his twilight years and no longer had a good time. Although he was by no means inferior to the dwarf warrior Fearless Warrior in terms of personal strength, as the protective ability of the equipment of various professional players gradually improved, the artifact "Poison|Dragon Spear" he obtained through the lottery in the early days became more and more lacking in power. It ranked last among the several offensive artifacts that have been released, far less than the "Thor's Hammer" held by Fearless Warrior, which was known as the first main offensive artifact. Moreover, Fearless Warrior also had an evolutionary level 8 upper-level magic pet Death Stone Barbarian, which had a slight advantage over Dragon Walker's level 7 upper-level Speed Dragon. Through the comparison of the two's strength, public opinion generally believes that if there is no more powerful pseudo-artifact to make up for the disadvantage and kill the opponent in one fell swoop, it will be difficult for Long Xing Tian Xia to defeat the Fearless Warriors and advance to the semi-finals.
The speaker of the Dark Council of the Resistance Alliance faced the chairman of the Neutral Alliance Joint Conference. This match was more of a fight for honor. The battle was fierce. The stronger magic resistance of the fearless warriors as dwarves further reduced the threat of poisoning attacks from the "Poison|Dragon Spear", while the electric shock paralysis effect of the "Thor's Hammer" forced Long Xing Tianxia to be careful. The fallen angels had stronger attack power than the bright angels, but without the "holy light of protection", they were weaker in terms of protection. This made Long Xing Tianxia seem a little passive from the beginning. He could not gain an advantage by fighting hard. Most of the time, he could only rely on the superior speed of the knight profession to make up for the lack of artifact attack power. There was no way to defeat the opponent using conventional means, so it was inevitable to use pseudo-artifacts. It was a pity that there was no other powerful "Demon God's Field". Facing the fearless warrior who saw that the situation was not right and also used pseudo-artifacts to help, other pseudo-artifacts such as "Summoning God Cards" could suppress the opponent for a while, but they could never gain an absolute advantage and create an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the fearless warrior. They could only barely maintain the situation of neither winning nor losing.
The battle lasted for an hour, and the two sides were unable to determine the winner. Both sides used two pseudo-artifacts. In the end, the referee made a decision based on the battle situation. The Fearless Warriors took the initiative for most of the game, and Long Xingtianxia used the pseudo-artifact first. Therefore, the Fearless Warriors won the victory with a slight advantage and obtained the third place in the semi-finals. Fortunately, this failure damaged Long Xingtianxia's personal reputation more. Among the semi-finals, there was also me, a super necromancer who was the "No. 1 Dark Man". Before the "No. 1 Master in the World" was determined, Long Xingtianxia had already made arrangements, and Long Piaopiao and other gunmen came forward to write articles and analyses in time, so there were not many excuses for other forces to criticize, so it would not have much adverse impact on the resistance alliance for the time being.
The three quarter-finals that have ended have not produced any upsets, no matter who the opponent is. No matter how the game goes, the three super powers belonging to the three major forces have successfully entered the semi-finals, making the ownership of the "World's No. 1 Master" still full of variables, and it is impossible to determine who will win in the end. Especially the final match between Shengtiantang and Afeng, which is considered to be the focus of this round, is not only because the strength of the two sides is very close, neither has much chance of winning, but more importantly, one belongs to the Church of Light, and the other has joined the alliance of resistance forces, and their positions are hostile to each other. Whoever can eliminate the opponent and occupy the last seat in the semi-finals will break the original balance of power to a certain extent, and there is a great possibility that I or the Supreme Honor will benefit in the semi-finals, and increase the chance of winning in the finals and winning the "World's No. 1 Master". Its significance is even greater than the match between our three super powers.
Probably relying on the effect of the "Angel Robe", according to the strength shown, the one summoned by Holy Heaven should be a level 9 upper six-winged Seraphim, whose strength is definitely above that of a level 8 professional player. Fortunately, as a main artifact of the Knight profession, although the "blood-sucking" attribute of the "Blood-sucking Gun" cannot play a role on angels, the special ability of "three heads and six arms" still increases Afeng's combat effectiveness a lot, and he is not inferior to the level 9 upper Seraphim, but he does not have much spare energy to resist the magic harassment of Holy Heaven and his pet Light Spine Dragon, mainly because the speed dragon mount does not have an advantage in speed, and he can never get rid of the entanglement of the Seraphim to directly threaten Holy Heaven, allowing him to enter and walk around, exchanging the long-range attack ability for "blood-sucking", which can be said to be a gain and a loss. Although he can gain a certain advantage when fighting against melee professional players, he seems to be a little bit powerless against magicians or shooters, lacking effective means of threat.
Both Afeng and Shengtiantang were trying their best to win, so neither dared to use the pseudo-artifact first, lest they lose the initiative. After fighting for more than ten minutes, it was still difficult to tell who was better. However, in the absence of being able to replenish life points through "Blood Sucking", facing the joint attack of Seraphim, Shengtiantang and Lightspine Dragon, Afeng's situation was slightly passive - he would suffer a little minor damage from time to time, but he could not effectively threaten Shengtiantang. If he fought to the end, he would definitely be judged as losing the game by the referee. In order to launch a direct attack on Shengtiantang, Afeng had to use the pseudo-artifact first, threatening Shengtiantang repeatedly and gaining the advantage on the field in one fell swoop. However, Shengtiantang did not take any risks and cautiously used the pseudo-artifact to strengthen his own protection. After a struggle, Afeng did not gain much advantage.
Looking at the tactics adopted by Shengtiantang, they have been unwilling to take the initiative to attack and try to defeat Afeng. It is clear that they want to use their professional advantages to bully Afeng's lack of long-range attack ability, and use up a little advantage through stalemate, and seek victory in the judgment with a draw. Afeng should have clearly realized this point, and tried his best to take back the initiative, even at the cost of using a pseudo-artifact, but Shengtiantang's actual combat experience is not inferior to his, so naturally he will not make mistakes that can be exploited by him, and respond appropriately, so that Afeng can't find an opportunity to take advantage of.
Just like the last match between Long Xing Tian Xia and Fearless Warrior, both sides also consumed two pseudo artifacts. In the end, the game still could not decide the winner. After the referee's ruling, A Feng lost with a slight disadvantage and stopped in the quarterfinals. The cunning Holy Heaven advanced to the next round and won the last place in the semifinals. Although not ideal, A Feng has tried his best. For the subsequent professional competition, team competition and the preview of the final battle, he can't bet everything on one shot. After all, this is only a game from eight to four. If he fights too hard, he may get the Supreme Honor or even the Fearless Warrior in the next round, which may not be of much help to me in winning the finals. Anyway, based on the same reason, before the title of "the best master in the world" is finally determined, the Church of Light cannot be regarded as having the upper hand over our resistance alliance.
I, Fearless Warrior, Supreme Honor, Holy Heaven, there are two light professional players in the semifinals. The situation is quite unfavorable for me and Fearless Warrior. No matter what the result of the draw is, there will definitely be two super strong players in the semifinals. The worst semifinal matchup situation is that I will fight against Fearless Warrior and Supreme Honor will meet Holy Heaven, no doubt. One will be a fight to the death, and the other will probably be a fake fight, without wasting strength, and Supreme Honor will advance to the finals. In that case, even if I defeat Fearless Warrior, I will consume too much power and props, and I am afraid that I may not be able to pass the Supreme Honor who holds two artifacts in the finals.
In the anxious waiting, the organizing committee finally announced the draw results for the ninth round of semi-finals. Supreme Honor had good luck in the previous rounds, but luck always runs out. The god of luck did not favor him this time. In the semi-finals, he will face the Fearless Warrior, who is also a super strong man, and my opponent is the Holy Heaven, who is known as the "No. 1 Priest in the World". This is the most ideal matchup situation. There is no need to hold two semi-finals at the same time for the sake of fairness, so that the audience can enjoy every wonderful game. The first battle will be between me and Holy Heaven - based on the desire to win the title of "No. 1 Master in the World", I, a super strong man, will definitely go all out to win in the game, and based on the mutual hostility, even if I lose, Holy Heaven will inevitably consume my strength as much as possible, so that Supreme Honor can defeat me in the final, or prevent me from taking advantage of the Fearless Warrior and easily winning the championship. And no matter which of us wins and advances to the next round of the finals, it will not affect the semi-finals of Supreme Honor and Fearless Warriors. For the honor of "the world's best master", they will still try their best to compete for the qualification to advance to the finals. In addition, unless Supreme Honor and Holy Heaven advance to the finals, there will definitely be a fierce fight in the finals, which will feast the eyes of the audience and make the ownership of "the world's best master" full of suspense. No one can be sure until the last moment.
The silver-robed bishop Sheng Tiantang, who holds the "Angel Robe", can be regarded as an old rival. He has no ability to stop me from casting the "Summoning the Undead". The priest of light is not a profession that is good at attacking. He lacks the means of attack that is strong enough to quickly put me to death, which easily leads to a stalemate. I found an opportunity to activate the "Touch of Death" to replenish his mental power. The limited confrontations before all ended in his failure, and he was not able to take advantage of me. Although he can summon the upper-level 9th-level six-winged seraph to descend, I can also summon an upper-level 9th-level undead when I cast the "Blood Transformation". In comparison, I am not at a disadvantage. In addition, Taotao and Shaman, two level 8 pets, are against a level 7 upper-level light spine dragon, which also gives me the advantage. If I fight with conventional means alone, I am fully confident that I can defeat Sheng Tiantang. The only concern is that in order to win or consume my strength, he may not hesitate to use a powerful pseudo-artifact, and I must be careful to survive his crazy offensive. Being able to draw Holy Heaven as the opponent in the semi-finals is a very good draw. I finally had a bit of luck at the critical moment. Compared with Fearless Warriors and Supreme Honor, I have a greater chance of advancing to the finals.
At the beginning of the game, we were too far apart and had no means to attack each other directly. We could only honestly cast our respective summoning magics. Holy Heaven should be casting "Angel Advent" and summoning a ninth-level upper-order six-winged Seraphim first. I did not dare to delay, for fear that he was eager to win and would use the pseudo-artifact to gain the upper hand from the beginning. I also cast "Undead Summoning" first and rushed forward for a distance. I immediately cast "Blood Transformation" and summoned a ninth-level upper-order six-armed giant magician in the midfield. Ibola and Khufu were the absolute main forces and were to be kept to deal with stronger fearless warriors or Supreme Honor. I didn't know what powerful pseudo-artifacts Holy Heaven had in his hands, so I did not dare to summon them to fight easily, lest they be severely injured and unable to recover in time, which would affect their performance in the final that was about to be held. Anyway, the giant mage has strong attack power and long range. As long as he stands in the center of the arena, he can attack any direction without moving, leaving the Holy Heaven no way to escape. Even if the Seraphim bullies him, the giant mage can hold out for a while with his defensive ability, and will not be easily defeated and killed. Taotao and Shaman can help the giant mage fight against the Seraphim, and can chase after the Holy Angel. There are too many tactics to choose from, and the initiative is in my hands.
Seraph, Giant Mage, Lightback Dragon, Shaman, Taotao, and the Undead Wizard did not use any unexpected means to launch an attack against the Light Priest. According to the conventional tactics, they summoned their subordinates one by one and set up their positions to prepare for a battle. The speed of the ninth-level upper-level Seraph is still higher than Shaman, but his flexibility is not as good. With my agility, it is difficult to escape his pursuit even if I transform into a bat. It should be quite threatening to me, but the six-armed giant mage with no less strength is guarding the center of the arena to support and contain. Whether it is attacking or defending, it will definitely not let the Holy Heaven be as comfortable as in the last game against Afeng.
