Hu Die Lan
Chapter 604 A Secretly Sneaking Priest
The Healing spell is instantaneous, has high healing power, a long cooldown, and generates high aggro.
Even in a PK, the high aggro characteristic cannot be ignored. Although players are not as mechanically affected by aggro as NPCs are, this kind of skill can truly make players hostile, unlike Taunt, which is more of a setting.
At this moment, what landed on Invincible Most Handsome was a big move among the Healing spells, “Holy Healing,” with unparalleled healing power. The elites of Tyrannical Ambition, who were on the same team as Invincible Most Handsome, knew best how timely this big move was. They could directly see Invincible Most Handsome's health in the team list, which was already weakened to only a sliver, and at that moment, this Holy Healing descended from the sky.
One can imagine how much aggro this move generated. The players of Hundred Blossoms Valley were attacking seriously, counting on Invincible Most Handsome to fall, but then suddenly a Holy Healing flashed out!
A Cleric doesn't need passion, nor does it have a direct means of harming the enemy. However, such a powerful move at a critical moment is enough to make opponents vomit blood. This kind of mental damage cannot be measured with data.
Who was it?
In that instant, everyone had this question in their hearts. Everyone's view began to twist, trying to find the source of this Holy Healing.
They soon got their wish.
Above North Bridge, several body lengths above the ground, a Cleric stood on the broken crossbeam. He maintained the posture of straightening his arms and raising the cross, as if waiting for the global cooldown to end before casting another Healing spell. While doing all this, he seemed to be carefully watching his feet, as if afraid of falling. This made him look not at all unrestrained, but rather a little wretched.
Then everyone clearly saw the two lines of words above his head.
Tyrannical Ambition, Seventh Division.
Little Cold Hands.
Who was this?
Even the players of Tyrannical Ambition had this question, obviously unfamiliar with this name. Looking at this guy standing on the crossbeam, trembling cautiously, a picture emerged in everyone's minds: a Cleric named Little Cold Hands, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, secretly climbed up there, and then secretly used a Holy Healing.
Was it just a coincidence?
Many people had already come to this conclusion, because Little Cold Hands' actions and behavior didn't show the slightest hint of a skilled player's aura.
Just when some people still had doubts in their minds, the next scene left them speechless.
Just as the players at the bridgehead saw Little Cold Hands, the players of Hundred Blossoms Valley who were attacking Invincible Most Handsome also noticed him. They were extremely hostile to this Holy Healing, and they had no intention to analyze the origins of this Little Cold Hands. They were simply annoyed that someone had sneaked onto North Bridge and used a Healing spell without them noticing.
This should not have happened, but because Invincible Most Handsome was too sharp, at that moment, all the players were paying attention to whether this guy would be knocked down, and they really neglected everything else.
Fortunately, only one came. What if these guilds took advantage of this opportunity to rush onto the bridge?
Thinking of this, the players of Hundred Blossoms Valley felt a chill down their spines.
And the players of the various guilds at the bridgehead suddenly realized this, and they were also annoyed.
"This is an opportunity that Invincible Most Handsome risked his life to seize, and we're just standing here watching?" some players in Tyrannical Ambition said.
"He should have given us a message!" someone said.
"How could he have time to give us a message in that situation?" someone else said.
While they were feeling annoyed, the players of Hundred Blossoms Valley had already taken action, and a wave of attacks instantly enveloped Little Cold Hands.
Faced with the offensive, Little Cold Hands' performance was to scream in panic, “Aiyo,” and then be knocked down, falling into the water.
He was indeed not a skilled player.
It was indeed not a coincidence.
Those who had held expectations were now speechless. If it were any of them, they wouldn't be able to be as fierce as Invincible Most Handsome at this time, but at least they could have jumped a few times. How could this kid jump into the water so cleanly and neatly?
Everyone was shaking their heads and sighing. In that instant, they were only focused on watching this Little Cold Hands, and they forgot to care about what kind of change this “Holy Healing” had brought to the battle.
“Well done!”
This was a praise from Invincible Most Handsome high above.
However, due to the distance and being drowned out by the sounds of various attacks, no one at the bridgehead below heard it.
Besides Ye Xiu, Zhang Jiale was probably the only one who realized the value of this Holy Healing.
Obviously, their awareness, vision, and judgment were several levels higher than these players.
"Not good!"
When that Holy Healing landed on Invincible Most Handsome, this was the sound in Zhang Jiale's heart.
If he had seen a Cleric sneak up to use a Healing spell at this time, he would have interrupted it in advance, but he didn't.
Positioned at the highest point, overlooking the battlefield, he was not like the players of Hundred Blossoms Valley on the bridge, nor like the other guild players at the bridgehead. They were all looking up, so Little Cold Hands' actions seemed to have happened at a low point, and they didn't see it. From Zhang Jiale's perspective, he had been observing the battlefield from above, and he shouldn't have missed someone sneaking in like that.
But he just didn't.
The reason was the wide-ranging, continuous offensive that he led the players of Hundred Blossoms Valley to launch against Invincible Most Handsome. These attacks were mainly ranged attacks, with artillery and spells, and the light and shadow effects of a large number of skills linked together. Although this was a characteristic of his specialty, the Hundred Blossoms style of play, it didn't mean that Zhang Jiale's eyes had a penetrating vision for these light and shadow effects. It was only in this moment that he quickly realized where the problem lay.
This Cleric had used the cover of the large amount of light and shadow effects that they had created to escape his vision and sneak up.
And the release of this Holy Healing was so perfectly timed that it made people want to die.
Because the attacks from Hundred Blossoms Valley were spread out, the attack power on any one point was not very high. Invincible Most Handsome jumped and resisted all the way, and the fact that he could persevere until now was naturally due to this reason. Zhang Jiale had made such an arrangement precisely because he knew who his opponent was, because he believed that if there was a gap in the attacks, it would definitely be seized by the opponent in front of him, and then everything would be invalid.
Faced with such a seasoned opponent, don't try to challenge the other party's judgment. Zhang Jiale understood this very well, because he himself was a seasoned God-level player.
Therefore, the attacks he spread out against Invincible Most Handsome, although not very powerful, used the terrain features of North Bridge and were completely unavoidable. This was also the purpose of Zhang Jiale in luring Invincible Most Handsome to such a height. At this time, Invincible Most Handsome originally had only one choice to escape: jump into the river.
But this sudden Cleric, this sudden Holy Healing, changed everything.
Invincible Most Handsome's health reached above Zhang Jiale's prediction, and Invincible Most Handsome had been stubbornly resisting the attacks, desperately rushing towards him. Originally, he thought it was meaningless, but now, it had become a great threat.
White light rose around Invincible Most Handsome.
Knight's Spirit!
Invincible Most Handsome activated Knight's Spirit. Zhang Jiale knew that the most important blow was at this time.
The pressure was great.
You must know that the North Bridge Mage had been chasing and attacking him all the time. At this time, being attacked by a God-level player like Ye Qiu, no one would feel relaxed.
Charge!
Invincible Most Handsome suddenly activated this skill, charging diagonally upwards along a leaning piece of wreckage. Zhang Jiale knew that with the replenishment of that Holy Healing, Invincible Most Handsome would inevitably be able to reach him, unless he continued to distance himself.
Zhang Jiale decisively chose to evade. Dazzling Hundred Blossoms continued to prepare to jump to a distant point, and kite Invincible Most Handsome for a while.
As a result, Invincible Most Handsome waved at him at this time.
"Damn it!!!"
Last time, he was toyed to death by this skill.
Provocation! Invincible Most Handsome actually gave him a Taunt at this time.
The character couldn't help but prepare to rush towards Invincible Most Handsome.
Fortunately, Taunt did not impose a weak-minded aura on the character. In the special terrain of North Bridge, the character who was Taunted still knew how to automatically find the way, instead of stepping into the air and falling straight down.
But even this was fatal enough. What Zhang Jiale wanted at this time was for Dazzling Hundred Blossoms to stay away from Invincible Most Handsome, not to jump over excitedly to greet him.
However, it was already too late.
He was only surrounded by players from Hundred Blossoms Valley. Although they could be called experts in the online game circle, they could not reach the level of professional players. Even if Zhang Jiale called out loudly, no one could dispel the Taunt he was under in time.
Dazzling Hundred Blossoms had already jumped high. In mid-air, a light flashed on Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' body. A Priest had cast Concentration on him, and the Taunt effect had been dispelled.
Perhaps the Priest who cast this Concentration would think that his hand speed was very fast, very timely, and very unrestrained. But Zhang Jiale could only weep with tears streaming down his face.
Because it was in a place like North Bridge, when he charged towards Invincible Most Handsome, it was not a few steps of running, but a leap. His Dazzling Hundred Blossoms had increased jumping power, and this jump was high and far. Because of the system's automatic pathfinding, the landing point was also very accurate.
But the problem was that Zhang Jiale wanted to go back on his word at this time!
Jumping in the air was not the same as being on flat ground, where you could turn your head and walk away.
Fortunately, Zhang Jiale was a God-level player, and fortunately, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' class was a Gunner.
Zhang Jiale instantly saw the terrain, and with one operation, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms immediately drew his gun and fired.
Using the recoil of the gun, it was impossible to immediately reverse the forward momentum into a backward flight, but it could create resistance.
After several shots, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' figure paused in mid-air, but there was no landing point under his feet.
The landing point was below him. Dazzling Hundred Blossoms was about to fall, and there was a low landing point. Zhang Jiale saw it very clearly, and these shots were also fired at just the right moment.
As a result, at this moment, Invincible Most Handsome jumped high, and the Knight's Sword in his hand was already splitting down on his head.
Heroic Leap.
"You only have these few moves, aren't you tired of it!!!" Zhang Jiale cursed with vomiting blood.
