Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 185: The Threat of "Thundergod's Wrath"
Because of the earth magic circle led by the wolf in sheep's clothing and the other eight earth magicians, we can no longer continue the defensive counterattack tactics we used before - defending one place, conserving strength, buying time, and waiting for me to summon enough undead creatures before launching a counterattack and defeating the enemy in one fell swoop. With the support of the earth magic circle, the dominant wolf in sheep's clothing has achieved the greatest amplification effect, and the attack distance of the "Flying Stones" it casts can reach 300 meters away. As long as I slow down my movement speed to activate the "Touch of Death" to absorb mental power, it is difficult to avoid being attacked by the "Flying Stones". Moreover, the opponent sent out the heavy-armored melee professions that focused on defense to strengthen the defense, and with the "Earth Roar" and the range "Slow Movement" magic as assistance, we could not gain any advantage in launching close-range attacks. Therefore, in addition to the limited melee professional players such as Afeng who holds the artifact "Blood-sucking Spear" and Xiaoyue who has a flying wind unicorn of the ninth level as a pet, the Tongxin League team sent out all the shooters and magicians, including me, Moonlight Treasure Box, and Guo Po Shanhe, three undead wizards, to fight a long-range offensive battle with the slow-attack Night Wolf, which can also effectively avoid the threat of small forbidden spells and not give them the opportunity to cast or cause us too much damage. It's a pity that shooters are not the main combat force of the Tongxin League. There are only seven people who signed up for the competition, including Yun Yuanying and Nan Feiyan. Otherwise, if more than a dozen shooters were sent to fight, it would pose a greater threat to the Night Wolf.
Summon pets, set up battle formations... Night Wolf's longest attack distance is only more than 300 meters of the enhanced version of the "Flying Stones from the Sky" magic. And our Tongxin League is not yet able to deploy the "Nine Star Linked Arrow Formation" that can attack from a super long distance. The "Seven Star Arrow Formation" composed of seven archers including Yun Wuying and Nan Feiyan has a maximum range of only more than 400 meters. There is no way to directly attack the opponent at the beginning of the game and contain the opponent's actions. We can only follow the normal team competition procedures and carry out the early battle preparations step by step. With enough casting time, I summoned Shaman and Taotao first, and then began to calmly cast "Summon the Undead". Just like in the individual competition, I summoned two level nine intermediate four-armed giant magicians to continue the harassment tactics against the wolf in sheep's clothing. As for "Blood Transformation", I will reserve it for use in the semi-finals and even the finals. The Night Wolves are not strong enough yet, and it's not worth wasting an opportunity. Otherwise, as long as I summon Ebola, "Elusive" combined with "Teleport", "Roaring Earth" and "Slow Movement" will not have any obvious effect. Even if I can't quickly disintegrate their earth magic circle, it will at least cause them considerable confusion, making it difficult for them to threaten us effectively.
The wolf in sheep's clothing led the eight earth magicians to set up a magic circle, cast protective magic on themselves and other teammates, and quickly approached us with them as the core. The seven archers, including Yun Wuying and Nan Feiyan, also formed a "Seven Star Arrow Formation", entered the combat position first, and launched a long-range attack on the Night Wolf. The main target was naturally the nine earth magicians who formed the magic circle, and tried to obstruct their actions. However, most of the attacks were successfully blocked by the melee professional players on the periphery. They originally had high defensive capabilities, and with the protective effect of the enhanced "Earth Shield", they were tough and strong. They would not suffer much damage. Only a few of them slipped through the net and shot the earth magicians. The defensive magic effect enhanced by the earth magic circle benefited them more and did not pose a big threat to them.
However, the situation changed when the two giant magicians also joined the attack. Although they could not cause much damage to the earth magician, the other professional players who were defending on the periphery with only the "Earth Shield" as protection would not have such a good protection against the "Torch Bomb" attack. Even if the injuries were not serious, the impact force on their bodies would hinder their movements, and they would easily lose their defensive position. They could no longer effectively intercept the attacks launched by Yun Wuying and the others when they got the chance, which increased the damage to the earth magicians in the inner layer.
In addition, Xiaoyue, who was riding on the Little White Dragon and circling in the sky, was a sharp sword hanging over their heads that could fall and injure people at any time. Since the "blood explosion" ability of the Little White Dragon, a ninth-level wind unicorn, was exposed, all opponents dared not take it lightly. They forced the opponent in front of them and used it when they were dying, risking not to play in the next game. At least it would cause heavy damage to those magicians or shooters with low defense and low health. Therefore, as long as Xiaoyue did not bully them directly, they would not take the initiative to attack Xiaoyue, so as not to face the threat of "blood explosion" too early. The nine earth magicians, who were wolves in sheep's clothing, were undoubtedly opponents worthy of Xiaoyue's use of "blood explosion", so they had to be more careful in dealing with them. When Xiaoyue had to be expelled, they tried to attack Xiaoyue directly to avoid hurting the Little White Dragon. Xiaoyue cleverly used this advantage, advancing and retreating quickly, frequently harassing the Night Wolves, slightly disrupting their offensive rhythm and affecting their advancement speed. More importantly, it attracted the attacks of the only two shooters in the opposing camp, making it impossible for them to concentrate all their efforts on attacking the two four-armed giant magicians, allowing them to hold out longer.
The biggest threat to us was naturally the ninth-level magic "Flying Stones from the Sky" cast by the wolf in sheep's clothing. He didn't attack easily, but every attack could cause us a lot of trouble. If it weren't for the assistance of the two giant magicians, Yun Wuying and her "Seven-Star Arrow Formation" alone would definitely not be able to effectively stop the actions of the Night Wolf. Xue Wuxia, Diewu and other magicians also launched long-range magic attacks. In order to avoid being affected by "Earth Howling" and "Slow Action", they did not dare to get too close. They only attacked the melee professional players defending the outer periphery of the Night Wolf in the marginal area, trying to contain their actions and create more opportunities for the "Seven-Star Arrow Formation" to hurt the earth magicians in the magic circle. Moonlight Treasure Box and Guo Po Shanhe also summoned a group of blood witches, who gathered in several places and cooperated in harassing attacks. Originally, their main combat force was several types of level eight intermediate undead from the "Bottomless Abyss", but this time they were facing a great earth magician. No matter the terrestrial night shadows, the crouching night shadows or the jellyfish, they all had earth attributes. Once they got close, they would be easily detected by the opponent. Using "Earth Roar" could effectively break their terrestrial or invisible abilities, so they had to use blood wizards who could perform long-range magic attacks to cooperate with them.
We didn't dare to approach the Night Wolf, and they couldn't get close to us smoothly under the harassment of different attack forces such as the Giant Magician, the "Seven Star Arrow Formation", Xiaoyue, and Xue Wuxia. Both sides had their own concerns and were stalemates for a while, and no one got any advantage. I rode Taotao and took the opportunity to avoid the battle circle and hid far away to one side, urging the "Touch of Death" to absorb the spiritual power of Saman. The Night Wolf tried to break through to my side several times, intending to interrupt my actions with "Flying Stones from the Sky", but was fiercely sniped by Yun Wuying and others, and it didn't go smoothly. I bought enough time to transfer, so that I could avoid the threat of "Flying Stones from the Sky" in time, and I was still constantly replenishing my spiritual power without being forcibly interrupted by external forces.
The earth magic array set up by nine earth magicians does have powerful offensive and defensive capabilities, but in order to maintain the formation, the nine people must act in unison. The relatively slow movement speed and lack of flexibility are the fatal shortcomings of the Night Wolves, which seriously restrict their offensive rhythm and have no way to effectively limit my performance. As we insist on adopting the tactic of long-range Yu attack and not approaching the opponent easily, the Night Wolves have powerful earth magic and even small forbidden spells, but they can't find the right time to cast them. Although they seem to be in control of the initiative and chasing us to attack, they can't cause us substantial damage and have been unable to turn their advantages into winning advantages.
As I said before, as long as I am given enough time and space, I will be able to defeat any opponent, and Night Wolf can't effectively restrict my performance. The longer the battle is delayed, the stronger we will be. The wolf in sheep's clothing used the earth magic circle to defeat Qiu Shui Changtian's Zhongtian team before, but unfortunately encountered me again. The function of "Touch of Death" is far superior to "Hand of Darkness", and my strength is not comparable to that of other undead wizards, so I am destined to taste the taste of failure again.
The four-armed giant magicians that were constantly summoned brought more and more pressure to Night Wolf, making their most powerful earth magic attacks lose their due effect. The unlucky ones were the eleven other professional players of Night Wolf, who were constantly subjected to the attacks of "Torch Stone Bomb" and increased damage. After seeing that they could not stop me from absorbing mental power, Night Wolf shifted its attack target and wanted to eliminate the giant magician who was more inconvenient to move first to reduce some threats, but they were met with several melee professions led by A Feng who desperately resisted the giant magician and displayed "Three Heads and Six Arms". The multiplayer melee could better play the advantages of "Blood Sucking Gun", constantly absorbing more health points from those weaker opponents, and could hold on for a longer time, coordinating with the attacks of other members, effectively delaying Night Wolf's actions. In the end, they could not hold on any longer and had to withdraw from the battle. The two seriously injured giant mages were promptly sent back to the "Dead Space" by me using the "Wartime Return" ability. At the same time, I summoned two new four-armed giant mages in another place three hundred meters away, which made their efforts in vain and aggravated their injuries and losses, but did not help the battle situation much.
After nearly an hour of fierce fighting, as the melee professional players defending the outer perimeter of the magic circle were killed one after another, the nine earth magicians had to endure more and more attacks from Yun Wuying and her team's "Seven Star Arrow Formation", and finally suffered casualties. When the fourth earth magician died under the arrows, the only five remaining magicians were unable to maintain the normal operation of the earth magic circle, and finally collapsed. Without the biggest support, the Night Wolves naturally found it more difficult to resist our attack. Continuous casualties accelerated the speed of defeat, and our Tongxin Alliance broke into the semi-finals of the team competition.
In the other three quarter-finals, Long Teng of Long Xing Tian Xia unfortunately encountered the highest honor, Glory, too early. Poor Long Xing Tian Xia had been begging for the artifact but couldn't get it. He really lacked some luck. He only relied on the artifact "Poison|Dragon Spear" won in the lottery to support his appearance, which made Long Teng's former advantage no longer exist. Some heroes are old and their fortunes are declining, while Glory has three artifacts and two artifact holders. Its overall strength is obviously better than Long Teng. Although Long Teng tried his best in the game, he was helpless and was defeated in the end, and stopped in the quarterfinals.
The fearlessness of the Fearless Warriors encountered the Yamato spirit of the Sun Never Sets. The duel between the "Crazy Thunder Prison" and the "God Sword Shakes the Sky" was fierce and exciting, but the Fearless Warriors had obtained the "Thor's Hammer" for a long time and had been tempered by the previous competition. Their members were better able to cooperate with the "Crazy Thunder Prison" to launch attacks at the right time, without worrying about being accidentally injured, and often seized some fleeting opportunities to gain additional results. Compared with the opponent, they still had a little advantage and finally defeated the Sun Never Sets and advanced to the semi-finals.
The remaining pair in the quarterfinals is naturally the Blood Moon of Moon-Watching Canglang versus Galaxy of Real Madrid. The situation of Blood Moon is similar to that of Night Wolf, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Night Wolf uses the "Heart of Earth Element" to set up a magic circle of the diagram system, while Blood Moon dispatches nine phantom shooters headed by Moon-Watching Canglang to form the most powerful "Nine Stars Linked Arrow Formation" in the shooter profession in "Tianxia" so far. It has a longer range and stronger attack power, and can give full play to the power of the "Forbidden Magic Bow" to defeat the enemy. In order to maintain the purity of one of the two major representatives of the light force, the twenty members of Galaxy are composed of Knights of Light and Priests of Light. Relying on the "Eye of Glory" with an attack range of only 50 meters held by Olympia, it is obviously unable to effectively resist the power of the "Nine Stars Linked Arrow Formation" and the "Forbidden Magic Bow". Many members were suddenly shot by the "Forbidden Magic Bow" when fighting with their opponents, resulting in their skills being banned and their resistance being ineffective, and they were killed. After a tough battle, Blood Moon finally won and took the last spot in the semi-finals.
Compared with the two light and two dark teams in the last session, the top four teams in this team competition are Fearless and Blood Moon, which belong to the neutral alliance, replacing Dragon and Galaxy. One light, one dark, and two neutral teams, the competition should be more intense. The four major teams all develop tactics around their own ace members, with different powerful attack methods, and none of them is easy to deal with. However, for me, I don’t want to encounter Blood Moon of Moon Wolf. The "Nine Stars Linked Arrow Formation" combined with the "Forbidden Magic Bow" will definitely pose a great threat to me directly, far above the "Speed Wing Light Armor" and "Holy Cross" of the highest honor and the "Thor's Hammer" of the Fearless Warriors, making it difficult for me to smoothly activate the "Touch of Death", which will seriously affect the performance of my strength.
The matchups for the semi-finals were finally announced. Fortunately, they did not encounter one wolf after another like in the individual competition. They avoided Blood Moon of Wangyue Canglang. This tough nut to crack was left for Supreme Honor. The opponent of Tongxinmeng in the semi-finals was Fearless.
In terms of strength alone, the Tongxin League, which has two artifact holders, me and Afeng, and the new "Top Ten", is obviously better than the Fearless. Putting aside the Blood Moon of the Moon-Watching Wolf, which has a greater restraining effect on me by taking advantage of its profession, only the Glory led by Supreme Honor and Holy Heaven has the strength to compete with us. However, the Fearless has another advantage that cannot be ignored, that is, the "Thor's Hammer", which is known as the strongest offensive main artifact held by the Fearless Warrior. If the "Crazy Thunder Prison" can still be dodged and resisted, then under the attack of "Thor's Wrath", it can only passively hold on and wait for death. Even if it is as strong as Supreme Honor equipped with "Speed Wing Light Armor" and possessed by a ninth-level upper-level Seraph, facing the special anti-magic physique of the dwarves and several pieces of equipment with strong resistance to magic attacks, I am afraid that it may not be sure that it can survive the attack of "Thor's Wrath" without dying. In an individual competition it is only one-on-one, and the outcome is bound to be mutual destruction, which is unavoidable. If something like what happened to me happens, I can only consider myself unlucky. But in a team competition with twenty people on each side, the Fearless Warrior is like a time bomb with super power that can be detonated at any time. As long as the "Wrath of Thor" is launched, more than one person will definitely be buried with him, which makes all opponents fear him like a tiger and have to be on guard against him.
In the individual competition, he always kept the "Thor's Wrath". Even when facing the Supreme Honor in the semi-finals, he did not use it like he did against me last year, which led to his defeat. However, in the team competition, especially when facing those equally matched opponents, the hidden "Thor's Wrath" is enough to bring great deterrence and make the opponent feel threatened. After all, there is no chance for the Fearless Warrior to perform in the final rehearsal. In order to get better results in the team competition, no one will doubt that once the situation requires, the Fearless Warrior will definitely use "Thor's Wrath" to fight the opponent to death. Covering the attack area of 100 meters in radius, with one or a few members of your own team dragging more opponents to be buried with you, is definitely a good deal. Once you fall into the design of the Fearless Warrior, you will lose more companions in one fell swoop, including the main force of melee combat, and I am afraid you will not have the strength to compete with the Fearless Warrior.
