Hu Die Lan
Chapter 562 The Spirit of the Knight
But this DPS was just that outstanding, so outstanding that it made Crushed Bean a little frightened. He could already sense that the other party wasn't OTing because they were controlling it. And it was precisely because they had control that Invincible Most Handsome's DPS was now below his, Crushed Bean's.
If this were a serious and responsible DPS... the two things that made him lose face probably would have already happened.
So, an excellent DPS who should have reduced the MT's pressure actually increased Crushed Bean's pressure instead. He wished Invincible Most Handsome would just hurry up and die on the side.
Now, the thing he was hoping for had finally happened!
Invincible Most Handsome actually chose such a time to rush out and reposition!
"Be careful!" Xin Lu shouted. But Crushed Bean knew very well that by the time he heard the warning and reacted, it would definitely be too late. Left, right, front, back? No matter which direction, it would be faster than Raldon's bone wings retracting.
Die, die, die!
Crushed Bean couldn't help but show his excitement, but he could only mutter it in his heart. In the blink of an eye, he saw the retracted bone wings already obscuring Invincible Most Handsome's figure, and he faintly heard the sound of impact.
How delightful!
The sound of bones and metal clashing, which Crushed Bean usually found annoying, actually sounded very pleasant to him at this moment.
Raldon's bone wings had finally fully retracted. Crushed Bean couldn't wait to take a look, only to see Invincible Most Handsome rolling on the ground from the impact, looking extremely pathetic.
Raldon, having retracted his bone wings, slightly twisted his body in that instant, and the long tail trailing behind him swept horizontally.
"Good! Just like that!" Crushed Bean was excited.
He knew very well that with the toughness of a knight, a Wing Strike couldn't kill him instantly, but with the addition of the tail sweep, it would probably be close. After all, this was still a ten-man dungeon, and Invincible Most Handsome's equipment was only at the pioneering level for this dungeon, even though he had obtained the Dragon Protection Axe from the Bone Dragon Abyss. However, precisely because he used this two-handed weapon, he had also replaced his shield. In terms of defensive ability, the difference between having a shield and not having a shield was like heaven and earth.
At this time, the thing he feared most was Xin Lu giving him a heal. But Crushed Bean had already considered this. Just at the instant when Invincible Most Handsome made a positioning error, Crushed Bean's position also slightly shifted. As a result, he also entered the Bone Dragon's Wing Strike attack range, and he deliberately pretended not to notice, not using his shield to block at all.
There was only one healer in the team.
At this time, which was more important, the MT or a DPS? There was no need to consider it at all.
To think he could come up with so many plans in an instant, Crushed Bean couldn't help but admire himself.
Seeing his health slowly recovering, Crushed Bean revealed a sinister smile. Xin Lu, as expected, still had to use the heal on him at this moment.
At the same time, Raldon's tail swept towards Invincible Most Handsome. In fact, the Boss's aggro was currently on Crushed Bean, and this attack was mainly aimed at Crushed Bean, but Invincible Most Handsome's position was right there, so he became the first to bear the brunt of this attack.
Crushed Bean certainly wouldn't miss this scene, staring at it without blinking. He even continued to maliciously calculate that if this tail sweep didn't kill Invincible Most Handsome, what should happen next...
Just as Crushed Bean thought of this, his mind suddenly froze. Because he suddenly saw that Invincible Most Handsome's tumbling roll was so swift that he actually managed to squeeze through the only gap at the point closest to Raldon's sweeping tail at the critical moment.
When he stopped, he was right behind Raldon. Invincible Most Handsome's Dragon Protection Axe was already swung out as he stood up, and then he straightened his body, unleashing all sorts of attack skills one after another.
All the movements were done in one go. When you connected it all together and thought about it, where was the embarrassment in the previous tumbling roll? The scene of squeezing through the gap of the sweeping tail was so thrilling that you wanted to play it back a hundred times.
"How is that possible?" Crushed Bean's mouth was almost unable to close.
That must be a coincidence!
Crushed Bean thought. Because if it were a normal situation, this kind of dodge would definitely be too late. But at that time, Invincible Most Handsome's situation was exactly that he was swept off his feet by Raldon's Wing Strike and sent rolling on the ground. This rolling speed was even faster than the rapid roll that players could perform by consuming stamina. He used the speed created in this way to complete such a thrilling dodge.
Crushed Bean hoped this was just a coincidence, but the truth seemed to be otherwise.
Invincible Most Handsome immediately followed up with an attack after rolling over. That calm and composed operation, who would believe that he had just experienced a lucky escape?
Calmness must stem from confidence. He was confident that he could dodge this attack, so that series of rolls was not a coincidence. He deliberately used Raldon's Wing Strike to quickly complete a repositioning.
He actually has such a technique? Crushed Bean felt even more pressure.
What about the others? This scene also left them stunned. After Ye Xiu's Invincible Most Handsome rolled over, he immediately continued to attack. The others were so surprised that they stopped for a moment. Even Xin Lu, who should have quickly given Invincible Most Handsome a heal, was taken aback and was a beat slower.
"That was close!" Xin Lu came back to her senses, and while sighing with emotion, she quickly gave Invincible Most Handsome a heal.
"Haha, it's good to have a healer," Ye Xiu said, continuing to attack.
Seeing Invincible Most Handsome's health slowly recover, Crushed Bean gnashed his teeth. But for a moment, he couldn't think of any new plans. Was he just going to calmly finish the dungeon like this? He was unwilling!
Crushed Bean was distracted and continued to tank the monster, while the others were as enthusiastic as fire. Especially those who had obtained weapons in the Bone Dragon Abyss, they were desperately trying to increase their DPS, wanting to leave others behind, wanting to catch up to the targets in front.
For a time, the DPS list was lively with people catching up with each other. Except for Crushed Bean and Invincible Most Handsome, who were ranked first and second, and Xin Lu, who was ranked last, whose positions were stable, the other seven were like racing cars, chasing each other. However, those seven were divided into two groups, those with new weapons and those without new weapons, with a clear gap in between.
Crushed Bean didn't have the mood to pay attention to the movements below. His eyes were only on one name: Invincible Most Handsome.
This guy's name was always firmly hanging behind him, looking like he could surpass him at any time. Crushed Bean couldn't kill Invincible Most Handsome, so he had to grit his teeth and suppress the other party in these aspects. But no matter how he played, he just couldn't widen the gap in DPS. The other party was like a cat playing with a mouse, wanting to catch it but not catching it, just patiently following behind, as if playing a trick.
Crushed Bean's eyes were almost spitting fire, and his mood was agitated. His operation was becoming more and more disorganized, always considering which skill had the most damage and quickly using that skill.
But is output just blindly stacking high-damage skills? Of course not. To achieve high output, in addition to rationally allocating skill cooldowns, you must also pay attention to using various output-enhancing states that are either randomly triggered by attacks or applied by skills.
Just standing still and throwing skills? That's the legendary mindless output. Players who can truly achieve high output may not have simpler operations than MTs. The reason why Crushed Bean could achieve strong output was actually due to his good equipment. If he were to compare output techniques, then he would be much weaker.
As a result, he was still gritting his teeth to calculate output, constantly trying various adjustments. Not only was his output rhythm unstable, but even his ability to hold aggro, which he should have done well, was affected.
He was only concerned with competing with Ye Xiu, but he didn't know that the other DPS players were competing with each other, and the more they competed, the more they hated each other. Their output increased, and their aggro also soared all the way up. Moreover, because they trusted him as the chief MT, they had completely forgotten to control their aggro.
Just as Crushed Bean was gritting his teeth and acting as both a DPS and an MT, the Bone Dragon Raldon suddenly turned its body, and those black eye sockets suddenly changed their target.
"OT!!" Xin Lu was shocked and shouted loudly. The seven DPS players had now basically figured out the Boss's attack patterns and were having a thrilling and uneventful time, competing in DPS to their heart's content. Who would have thought that with Invincible Most Handsome high above, they would actually be the ones to OT.
At that moment, the guy who OT'd actually felt a secret joy in his heart. This was actually a mentality that many DPS players had. They didn't consider OTing to be shameful, but rather considered it to be an honor. They believed that this was a powerful proof of their strong output.
There was nothing wrong with thinking that way. OTing did indicate that the output was strong, but that was all. Strong output didn't mean that someone was a DPS expert. Strong output could be just because of equipment, while a DPS expert was able to achieve strong output data without such a painful thing as OTing happening.
The secretly pleased guy only had time to feel good for a moment. Raldon, turning around, had already raised its head and was biting at him.
But just at this moment, white light flashed from Raldon's original rear direction. Invincible Most Handsome had already rushed over and raised his hand, using a Taunt on Raldon at the critical moment.
No, this wasn't an ordinary Taunt!
This was an Honor Taunt.
At this time, Invincible Most Handsome's body was glowing with white light. This was the Knight class's level 50 Awakening skill: Knight's Spirit!
Humility, Honor, Sacrifice, Courage, Mercy, Honesty, Spirit, Justice.
The blessing of Knight's Spirit would strengthen the knight's skills and unleash even more powerful abilities.
