Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 61 Blitzkrieg (1)
In the eighth round, half of the top eight are artifact holders. It is naturally a very small and unattainable thing for them to face off against the other four players who do not possess artifacts. The most likely result should be that two artifact holders will fight each other. Two tigers fighting each other may end up in a lose-lose situation, while the other two artifact holders may have some advantage. After all, they have made it to the top eight after overcoming many difficulties. Romantic Sakura and their "pseudo-artifacts" should have been almost used up. Even I, who am considered to have the weakest individual combat ability among the four, have the confidence to defeat them.
After five long minutes of anxiety and tension, the matchup for the eighth round was finally announced. I'm the sky warrior Fearless Warrior who holds the "Thor's Hammer". I don't know if my good luck has been used up by winning the "Top Ten" in the last individual competition. I don't seem to be very lucky in this competition. I originally wanted to climb to a higher goal, but I kept facing sniping from strong men of the same level. The other seven artifact holders besides me encountered Olympia and Goryeo Warrior successively, and had to use up the only "Magic Storage Ring". Now I will face the Fearless Warrior who has the highest chance of winning the championship. This is a bit too bumpy.
Normally, we necromancers are not afraid of slower moving warriors, especially dwarf warriors, but the fearless warrior holding the artifact "Thor's Hammer" is an exception. He is good at both close combat and long-range attacks. His performance in the previous rounds of games has already given us a rough idea of the true power of "Thor's Hammer".
As the main artifact of the warrior profession, "Thor's Hammer" is actually a magic weapon. It not only has powerful physical attack power , but also comes with strong lightning damage and paralysis effects. Even if the weapon touches, it will be electrocuted and paralyzed, which may affect the action. Simple close combat is already quite advantageous. In addition, it can add a layer of "protective electric grid" to the holder to further increase the defense ability, and it also comes with an automatic counterattack function. And its unique skill is the "Crazy Thunder Prison" that can be performed at a long distance. The attack radius is at least more than 100 meters, and it can cover a space of about ten square meters. Once trapped in it, even if it is a fly, it can't fly out. It must survive the thunder and lightning explosion that lasts for one minute to get out. Maybe it won't cause too much damage to professions such as knights and warriors with strong defensive capabilities, but unless we fragile magicians have holy-level anti-thunder equipment, we can effectively weaken the power of lightning caused by the artifact, otherwise few can survive. Tianxing, one of the four great wizard kings, was trapped in the "Mad Thunder Prison" without any preparation. Even with the "instant teleportation" it was of no avail. He had no ability to break through the blockade of the power grid and was struck into charcoal. I was facing the same problem - even though I could transform into a bat and have an "incarnation", if I reacted a little slower, I would be enveloped by the "Mad Thunder Prison" and would have no way to escape. I could only be trapped in it and endure the lightning bombardment that lasted for a minute. I was not equipped with any anti-lightning holy weapon, so it was absolutely a disastrous end and it was difficult to escape.
Thirty seconds. When facing the Fearless Warrior, I must not stay in an area of ten square meters for more than thirty seconds, otherwise I will be locked by him and have to endure a "jail disaster". This requires me to move around the field without stopping for a moment, and I dare not stay in one place for too long. Doing so will inevitably consume a lot of physical strength. Fortunately, my second profession is a thief, and I have taken "royal jelly" that increases the upper limit of physical strength. I have longer endurance than ordinary magicians. As long as I arrange it properly and don't run around the field and consume it at will, physical strength should not be a problem. I have the basic conditions to fight a protracted war with the Fearless Warrior.
With the "Thor's Hammer" in hand, a set of holy weapons, and superb fighting skills, the strength of the Fearless Warrior should not be underestimated. Even if Tao Tao and Shaman join forces, they may not be able to kill him in a short time. His evolved eighth-level magic pet, the Death Stone Barbarian, whose original form is the Death Bull, is a seventh-level upper-level magic beast, and its current strength is estimated to be no less than the eighth-level middle-level. To win, I can only adopt a delaying tactic. As long as I can delay until Wu Ma or even Qi Te Lei is summoned, and I don't make any mistakes to be caught by him, he will definitely not be able to defeat me with just the "Thor's Hammer". As Long Xing Tian Xia once said - as long as I am given enough time, no player in Tian Xia will be my opponent.
Among the top eight, the Supreme Honor will face off against Romantic Sakura, and Long Xing Tian Xia's opponent is Cape of Good Hope. Winning should not be a problem, and there is a lack of suspense. The last pair is a wolf in sheep's clothing against Hai Kuo Tian Kong . As a "newcomer" who has just emerged in this conference, the "box office" appeal is slightly inferior to that of us old-fashioned strongmen, and it cannot attract too many players to watch the game. As for the concurrently held "Top Ten" additional challenge for the losing top eight, there is no match between Holy Heaven and Goryeo Warriors, which is even less attractive in comparison. Therefore, the competition between me and the Fearless Warrior, the holder of the artifact, has become the focus of this round. At least two-thirds of the players chose to watch our game. The organizing committee also promptly complied with public opinion and arranged our quarter-finals in the main stadium used for the finals, which is large enough to accommodate all the audience, and it has some meaning of "premature finals".
When I entered the arena, the Fearless Warrior was standing opposite me. The dwarves were all about the same size, and looked like little fat boys. They had short arms and legs, and were not agile enough, but very powerful. His physical attack power was the best among all professions. In particular, he held the main artifact "Thor's Hammer" in his hand, a two-handed weapon, no more than one meter long and completely black in color. From time to time, dazzling purple electric light flashed on the surface, and crackling sounds could be heard faintly, clearly showing its properties and the powerful power it contained.
When the game started, the Fearless Warrior rushed forward quickly, apparently wanting to close the distance and find an opportunity to cast the "Thunder Prison". I didn't dare to stand still to cast the spell, and retreated in the opposite direction. In order to save mental and physical energy, I did not transform into a bat, but cast the "Ride Away from the Dust" and quickly rushed to the sidelines, further widening the distance between me and the Fearless Warrior. Then I stopped moving and hurriedly began to cast the "Pet Summoning" to summon Taotao out first.
The Fearless Warrior rushed forward a few steps, probably realizing that he could not stop me from casting the spell, so he steadied himself and summoned his eighth-level magical pet, the Death Stone Barbarian, and then rushed towards me together. The warrior's abundant physical strength was enough to support him to chase me non-stop for an hour.
Taking advantage of the time it took for the Fearless Warrior to summon the Stone of Death, I moved again and summoned Shaman. With an attack distance of over 100 meters, no matter how much I moved in the arena with limited space, I could only dodge for a while. It was impossible to get rid of the threat of the "Thunder Prison" for a long time. The only thing I could do was not to stay in one place for too long, leaving no chance for the Fearless Warrior to attack. At the same time, I had to look for or strive for opportunities to summon Shaman and Wu Ma. Only in this way could I have enough strength to launch a counterattack and defeat the Fearless Warrior.
After summoning the Shaman, I had probably entered the attack range of the "Crazy Thunder Prison". The Fearless Warrior stopped, as if he was locking onto my position and preparing to attack. I naturally did not dare to neglect it. Just as I was about to transform into a bat and implement a large-scale transfer to get rid of the Fearless Warrior's threat, I suddenly found that my body was glowing with gray-white light, and then quickly condensed into a thick rock-like shell on my body surface.
