Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 53 Reversal (2)
Hua Mantian, who was already confident of victory, naturally would not give the severely injured Afeng a chance to breathe. He pressed on step by step, and his offensive was quite fierce. The fighting skills of both sides were similar. After fighting each other, they suffered losses. The situation was getting more and more unfavorable to Afeng. And Afeng's performance was also quite strange. Originally, his condition was not as good as his opponent. It would be reasonable to adopt the tactics of avoiding the enemy's edge and attacking through gaps. He could also delay a little more time to see if there were any opportunities. The most taboo was to fight the opponent head-on, but he insisted on fighting to the death in a small space, with a posture of strong attack, constantly consuming his remaining strength. It was simply a "suicidal" stupid fighting style. In the eyes of outsiders, they might think that he knew that he had no hope of winning, and he was unwilling to survive in a humiliating way. He wanted to face failure calmly in a fierce battle, but I didn't think he would be willing to let Hua Mantian get away with it, but I really couldn't guess his plan, which really made me anxious.
Seeing that Afeng's injuries were getting worse and worse, even his movements of swinging the gun slowed down. He was seriously exhausted and could no longer hold on. Hua Mantian even showed a smile of victory on his face. Suddenly, there was a "boom" and his velociraptor mount suddenly sank into a large hole that appeared out of thin air on the ground. Although he struggled hard, he could not rush out and could not move. Naturally, he could not chase. Afeng just took two steps back and escaped from Hua Mantian's attack range.
The "Horse Trap" is not a "pseudo-artifact", but a one-time prop made by the architect, specially used to deal with land-based monsters, of course, including the player's land-based pets, usually used to defend the mercenary group's base or to ambush and kill more powerful monsters. Once trapped in it, the action is restrained and cannot move around for a certain period of time, and the player cannot send them back to the "pet room". The "Horse Trap" that can be temporarily arranged by individuals like the one used by Afeng must be made of the "Holy Magic Crystal" of the earth-based holy beast as raw materials. It is a "high-end product" that is not easy to make and the cost is also very high. It takes a little time to set it up. The reason why Afeng is fighting to the death seems to be that he is looking for an opportunity to complete the "Horse Trap".
Although Hua Mantian was trapped and he was temporarily unable to move on his velociraptor, the duration could only last for five minutes at most, and it only allowed Afeng to escape from Hua Mantian's attack. It was not of much help in killing the opponent - if he wanted to hurt Hua Mantian, he had to take the initiative to attack, which would put him within the opponent's attack range. Hua Mantian did not lose his ability to move, and Afeng might also be hurt. With his current seriously injured body, he had no ability to compete with Hua Mantian.
Hua Mantian was also very clear about the current situation, so after the initial surprise, he quickly calmed down and took a defensive position to prevent Afeng's counterattack, waiting for the moment when he could survive the use time limit of the "Horse Trap" and regain his mobility. In Afeng's current state, he really didn't have the energy to launch a counterattack, but if he didn't take the initiative to attack and increase the damage to Hua Mantian, even if he successfully delayed the game until the end, according to the state and performance of both sides, Hua Mantian would win, and Afeng would have no hope.
Hua Mantian was on high alert, guarding against Afeng's counterattack, but Afeng did not rush to attack. Instead, he took two steps back, further increasing the distance, probably to prevent Hua Mantian from throwing his weapon out of his hand and causing further damage. Then he smiled at Hua Mantian, closed his eyes and seemed to recite a few words, and saw a flash of white light in front of his chest, and a necklace flew out from the border between the armor and the helmet, flashing a faint white light, covering Afeng's whole body, which lasted less than half a minute. The light of the necklace was completely condensed, retracted and disappeared, and Afeng seemed to suddenly come to life, no longer in the state of dying a moment ago.
What Afeng used should be the "Return to Heaven Necklace", a special item similar to the "Magic Storage Ring". It cannot be dropped or manufactured, and can only be obtained by completing certain specific tasks. It can be used by all players who are not of light or dark professions. It has the ability "Return to Heaven", which can quickly restore 50% of the wearer's health, physical strength and mental strength. However, the "Return to Heaven Necklace" must be worn for more than twelve hours before each use.
With a "returning technique", Hua Mantian's advantage was gone. A Feng was able to take advantage of the fact that his mount could not move and fight him hard with a strong attack, which gave him a great chance of winning. Of course, although Hua Mantian suffered some disadvantages, he would not necessarily fail - the mount just could not move, but could turn freely in all directions. As long as he could hold on steadily and not suffer too serious damage, and survive the remaining four minutes and get out of the "horse trap", he might still be able to fight hard and win the final victory.
However, Afeng's attack on him was not over yet. As another item was used, Afeng's image suddenly changed and became more powerful - three heads and six arms, facing three directions, wielding three spears. He had to withstand the attack of two spears at any angle, which would be more difficult to resist. This was the second "pseudo-artifact" used by Afeng - "three heads and six arms". In addition to the real "wind-breaking spear", the other two "wind-breaking spears" could cause 50% damage equivalent to the entity. With its help, Hua Mantian could not move and dodge. In a hard fight, he could not be Afeng's opponent at all. If he abandoned his mount and retreated alone, the knight without a mount would have a much lower combat effectiveness and it would be difficult for him to pose a big threat to Afeng. As long as he killed the immobile velociraptor first, he would have no hope of winning.
"Horse Trap", "Heaven-Returning Necklace", "Three Heads and Six Arms", facing this series of changes, the situation was reversed in less than a minute. Hua Mantian's face became more and more ugly, but he was a master after all, and did not choose to jump off his mount and flee. Looking at his posture, it seemed that he was determined to resist Afeng's attack head-on and refused to give up even the last chance.
The transformed Afeng naturally refused to waste any more time and attacked fiercely. Hua Mantian was unable to move, and was already at a disadvantage. He had to deal with the continuous attacks of the three "Wind-Breaking Guns" and had no chance to breathe. He blocked one but could not escape the other, and was increasingly unable to resist. Moreover, Afeng would occasionally sneak attack the immobile Speed Dragon under his crotch, forcing him to split his attention to defend, which often revealed more flaws and caused him to suffer more and more serious injuries.
The strength of both sides was originally almost the same, but as one side gained strength while the other lost, there were too many unfavorable factors. Although Hua Mantian tried his best to resist, he could not withstand the fierce offensive that Afeng had suppressed for a long time. The possessed two-winged archangel was the first to die. Under Afeng's strong pressure, he had no time to re-cast the "Angel Possession". Without the assistance of the angel, the Light Knight would not be the opponent of the knight of the same level relying on his own ability. The situation became more and more critical. He had no time to take care of people and mounts, and was even more unable to resist. First, the Speed Dragon was killed, and he was left alone, unable to escape the fate of defeat, and died tragically under Afeng's "Wind-Breaking Strike".
After fighting hard for more than fifty minutes, Afeng finally defeated Hua Mantian and won the game. Excluding the team competition and the melee during the mission, this was the second time they had fought in such a fair occasion as the individual competition in "Tianxia". The first time more than a year ago, Afeng ended in failure. Although he also knew that the road to revenge was long and the gap between the two sides could not be made up overnight, I could still feel that he was still quite bothered about that failure and was always looking for opportunities, looking forward to proving himself in the same occasion - although he had killed Hua Mantian in multiplayer melees several times, but none of them was as satisfying as in such an occasion, which could cause him a heavier blow.
"I really can't tell how you were able to collect so many good props? You didn't even tell me first, and kept me in suspense, making me worry about you down there." After the game, she first found Afeng to congratulate him on his successful defeat of his nemesis Hua Mantian, but she couldn't help but complain a few words.
"Not only can I get rewards from the 'Resistance Alliance', but completing the professional tasks of the Knight class can also accumulate merits and exchange for rewards. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will certainly get the corresponding rewards. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. I have been thinking about how to defeat him once I meet him in the individual competition. I have obtained some good props, but I dare not use them normally, just to wait for such an opportunity. In fact, although I was very confident at the time, I was not sure of winning. Hua Mantian's strength is definitely not weak. If I don't go to the battlefield in person, I can't decide what means to use. When he used the 'Cupid's Arrow', the situation was very dangerous. I almost couldn't stand it. I wanted to give up the plan of 'showing weakness to the enemy' and fight him directly. Fortunately, I finally gritted my teeth and persevered - such a rare opportunity, I must not give up easily."
