Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 71 Winning the Championship (1)
In a group battle, especially when facing our "iron barrel defense", relying on the "Holy Cross" is just a brave act. The range defense of the "Angel Robe" is the ability that gives us the most headaches. Otherwise, the white cardinals in the back must have two knights or angels to guard them to prevent the sudden attack of the horseless ones who can quickly counterattack, and it is impossible to fully devote ourselves to attacking us. Just like the sneak attack launched by Shaman just now, if there was no support from the "body protection holy light" of the Holy Heaven, and we fought to the death, with the support of Qitlei, we might be able to drag two more white cardinals to be buried with us, and two angels would be forced to leave the field, and our situation should be much better.
The Light Angel Knight who was chasing the Terror Dragon Knight was about the same strength as Qitlei, and he was easily intercepted, so I didn't lose the object of absorbing spiritual power. However, now there was an archangel with a weapon chasing him closely, plus the attacks of the "Great Saint Spear" of several white cardinals in Holy Heaven, I had to pay more attention to deal with them carefully, which inevitably affected the speed of absorbing spiritual power. If Qitlei hadn't been able to temporarily get rid of the entanglement of the Light Angel Knight with "Phantom Special Attack" and "Fire Dancing Silver Snake", and rush over from time to time to contain the archangel's attack and rescue me, I would have found it difficult to persist in activating the "Touch of Death" without being interrupted.
Although they were ambushed by Shaman and lost a white cardinal, which temporarily disrupted their arrangements, Glory still had a greater advantage in strength after all. They quickly made adjustments and soon stabilized the situation. While increasing the pressure on me and trying their best to stop me from absorbing spiritual power, the actions of several white cardinals became more cautious, generally surrounding the Holy Heaven so that they could get support at any time. At the same time, with the departure of Shaman and Qitlei, the light angels and archangels sent to rescue were transferred back to continue to participate in the siege of Xue Wuxia and the others. It seems that Glory's tactics are also very clear. Probably after seeing my performance in the previous game, they are unwilling to waste too much time and energy on me who has the ability of "blood bat transformation" and is difficult to trap or even kill. They mainly focus on containment and limit my performance. They adopt the more direct method of "drawing firewood from the bottom of the pot", concentrating superior forces and fiercely attacking Xue Wuxia and the others who are obvious targets. As long as they defeat my companions first, I will be left alone and unable to get the necessary recovery. Naturally, there is no chance of a comeback.
Although Glory lost an archangel with a weapon, the terrifying dragon knight who stayed behind was under greater pressure due to the departure of Taotao and Shaman, and was killed by the Angel of Light. With the return of the Angel of Light and the archangel who were sent out to join the battle, the situation on the field was still extremely unfavorable for Xue Wuxia and her team. They were faced with the opponent's successive "air raids" and were overwhelmed. Their lives were constantly threatened. If they were not careful, they would be defeated at any time.
At this time, almost everyone on the field was exhausted by the crazy attacks of Glory. The only one on our side who performed relatively well and had the strength to fight back was Wu Ma. The Destruction Knight was born a bloodthirsty maniac with a strong fighting instinct. Bullying the weak was not a skill. Being able to successfully escape or even defeat a stronger opponent was the tough nature of the "Undead Public Enemy". After evolving into a true Destruction Knight, Wu Ma's nature was even more evident. The knights with the strongest fighting ability in Glory were all land warriors. Unless the Supreme Glory activated the "Holy Cross" to attack, there would be no threat to Wu Ma. The strength of the descended angel was indeed tyrannical, but the actual combat ability was not as good as Wu Ma, a character who made a living by fighting and had extremely rich experience. Relying on the ability of his mount Scorpio to move and turn at will, Wu Ma's movements were extremely agile and erratic. According to my instructions, he no longer clung to one opponent, but actively launched guerrilla warfare, displaying the "Bloody Battle in All Directions", or harassing several targets separately, or concentrating his attack on one person, harassing and restraining several angels' attacks on Xue Wuxia and the others. Moreover, his movements were reasonable, always covering as many enemies as possible in the "Field of Destruction", and cooperating with Scorpio's "Shadowless Whip" to entangle the enemy's body from time to time to interfere with its movements, which caused a lot of trouble for Rong Yao's attacks, and also allowed Xue Wuxia and the others to gain more time to dodge at critical moments, so as not to suffer fatal injuries.
The battle situation was temporarily at a stalemate. Under Glory's harassment, I had to waste more time to dodge, and thus was unable to absorb enough mental strength to perform "Summoning the Undead". However, due to concerns about Shaman's sudden attacks, especially the blood mist it kept spitting out from time to time, which was hard to tell whether real or fake, Glory was forced to send someone to keep a close eye Wu Ma's restraint, the timing of the attack was grasped quite timely, so that although Glory had a clear advantage and had been pressing us to attack, it was unable to expand the results of the battle and achieve a decisive breakthrough.
A cardinal in white suddenly left Holy Heaven and moved to the side of the Supreme Honor. However, there was an archangel knight protecting him closely, so there was no possibility of a sneak attack, so they could only let him go. Originally, this was nothing - an extra cardinal in white did not have much attack power, and would not pose much threat to Xue Wuxia and the others. However, when I saw him holding a silver-glowing scripture in front of his chest with both hands, I immediately felt something was wrong. The silver light of the scripture became brighter and brighter, and then a silver beam of light shot out to cover Wu Ma flying in the air. Countless silver characters flew out of the scripture quickly, rushed towards Wu Ma along the beam of light, and stuck to its body, as if trying desperately to squeeze into its body.
This scene is so familiar. It is the third time I have encountered it. The "Book of Seals" is a type of "pseudo-artifact" used by the priests of light. In addition to the player and the pet being ridden, it can restrain the actions of any monster. If the target is a summoned pet or undead, it can be directly sealed. Although it cannot cause direct damage, it will force it to leave the field and cannot be summoned again within six hours, and the consequences are more serious. I really didn't expect that there would be players who have such a powerful "pseudo-artifact" in the group finals. After all, players who have the ability to obtain "pseudo-artifacts" are not ordinary people. They usually want to make a breakthrough in the individual competition. As for the group competition, they can effectively get the support of their companions in the multiplayer melee. Unless it is activated by multiple people, the effect of the "pseudo-artifact" with a time limit is not so obvious. Glory is indeed a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden. Just looking at the not-so-famous substitutes, there are such masters. Their overall strength is above our Tongxin League, which is also one of the "Top Ten".
The moment I confirmed that Wu Ma was attacked by the "Book of Seals", my heart sank. Rong Yao's attack target was chosen accurately. If they could forcefully seal Wu Ma, who was the most active, out of the game, without this strong support, Xue Wu Xia and the others might not be able to withstand the attack. Once the inner line fell, the "iron barrel defense" would be left with only an empty shell. When attacked from both inside and outside, defeat would only take a moment, and it would be impossible to hold out for too long. A Feng and Long Kong also realized that the situation was not good, and they tried their best to rush over to stop the cardinal in white from activating the "Book of Seals", but they were blocked by the angels in the world and another opponent. They would rather exchange injuries for injuries than give in. The strength of both sides was close, and it was impossible to force a breakthrough for a while. Besides, the Supreme Honor is personally guarding the white cardinal, on full alert. Even if I assign Shaman and Qitlei to attack, it will not have any effect. Instead, it will only disrupt the formation and give Glory more opportunities to take advantage, further accelerating the time of defeat.
In the second round of individual competition, Cardinal Zambilotta had used the "Book of Seals" to deal with Taotao, whose strength was close to that of Wu Ma. Although Taotao struggled hard at that time, he was still unable to get rid of more and more silver characters that entered his body and bound his soul. His resistance became increasingly powerless, and he was eventually forcibly sealed back into the "Dead Space". There had been a successful precedent, and now the same situation was repeated on Wu Ma, and the tragic outcome seemed to be doomed.
