Chapter 247 Closer

Getting closer, bit by bit. The movement of Ghost Lantern Firefly tugged at the heartstrings of the entire audience. From the electronic screen displaying Li Xun’s perspective, they could see Windward Formation’s figure growing larger and clearer.

Getting closer and closer.

A desperate strike!

Almost everyone thought so, because they were familiar with Li Xun’s style. He was a player who would try his best to use a life-risking attack to secure a one-hit kill.

But, could he kill him instantly?

This was a question that had to be considered. Judging by the life value alone, Ghost Lantern Firefly’s desperate strike could kill Windward Formation in one hit. However, would Windward Formation’s equipment affect the effect of this strike?

Defense enhancements were useless. A desperate strike was a trade of blood for blood, and the skill’s additional damage ignored defense. However, what if the equipment had a damage absorption effect? This effect would also absorb the damage effect of blood for blood. If this value reached a certain level, then this strike would fail to kill Windward Formation instantly.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of information and research on Wei Chen and Windward Formation, Void had no intelligence on the additional attributes of Windward Formation’s silver equipment. Li Xun could only rely on his own judgment now.

Comparing life values, Ghost Lantern Firefly had 12% more life than Windward Formation. The Assassin’s life growth was not excellent either. Ghost Lantern Firefly mainly had some equipment attributes that increased life, after all, if he liked desperate strikes, he needed to exchange life for output. However, he didn’t stack it as extremely as ordinary players, because Void’s team did not rely on his desperate strike as the main focus, and he needed to make other contributions.

And now, having 12% more life than Windward Formation meant that if Windward Formation’s equipment had a damage absorption of 12% or more, he could withstand Ghost Lantern Firefly’s desperate strike. If not, then a one-hit kill would be possible.

Should he attack a few times first to calculate?

But if he did that, he might not have such an opportunity again. The opponent was a wily player, and it was so difficult to sneak attack a wily player that even professional players should understand. Li Xun really couldn’t bear to give up the great opportunity before him.

Should he gamble?

Li Xun thought, 12% damage absorption, it wasn’t high, but Warlock was a cloth armor profession, and its performance in defense was relatively poor. Not only was the basic defense low, but cloth armor was also the lowest among all armor types in terms of adding defensive abilities such as defense enhancements or damage absorption.

A not-so-high 12%, to achieve it on a body of cloth armor, might also sacrifice a lot of attribute slots. Would a Warlock sacrifice some other attributes because they needed to strengthen their survivability?

It was really hard to say for sure, after all, improving survivability was beneficial to any profession, and couldn’t be said to be a waste.

Did he have it or not?

Ghost Lantern Firefly’s movement even temporarily stopped. Li Xun couldn’t figure it out and didn’t dare to rashly step forward again. Stepping forward again meant he was about to attack.

A wily player, would he choose equipment that valued damage absorption?

Li Xun was thinking, trying to think from the player’s style. But before he could get an answer from here, Li Xun suddenly remembered another thing.

Casting distance!

One of Windward Formation’s greatest features was his extremely long casting distance.

Casting distance meant a greater attack range, and also meant more protection space. Would a Warlock who had an advantage in this area need more protective measures? Did he need it?

He probably wouldn’t choose this attribute anymore!

In Li Xun’s heart, he finally made a decision, not from the player’s style, but from a prominent attribute that the character already possessed.

Then, let’s go with that!

Ghost Lantern Firefly set off again. After silently jumping down from the corner of the room, he crouched down, not making a sound as he moved forward patiently.

Patient guy, I’ve already circled behind you!

Seeing Wei Chen still unaware, patiently waiting for the target to appear, Li Xun couldn’t help but complain. Ghost Lantern Firefly walked up, step by step.

Finally, he had no more cover, and could only directly摸 (mō) – grope his way behind his opponent. The distance was only a few steps away, but the closer he got, the more nervous Li Xun became. If the other party suddenly turned his head at this time, then everything would be in vain.

Directly using Arcane Flash to quickly stick to him? Or continue to move slowly like this?

After briefly considering the two options in his mind, Li Xun had already made his choice.

At this time, fearing that he would fall short, Li Xun decided to be faster.

Arcane Flash!

As soon as he said it, a cold light flashed out, accompanied by the sound of clothes rustling. Ghost Lantern Firefly had suddenly flashed behind Windward Formation.

Desperate strike!

As expected, it was a desperate strike. Li Xun, extremely wary of the enemy, directly used this move to decide the outcome.

Wei Chen, hearing the sound behind him, hurriedly turned Windward Formation around. Ghost Lantern Firefly’s dagger had already stabbed over.

Burning his life, a deadly assassination, swift and powerful, Windward Formation was unable to react at all. The turning figure was merely offering his chest to Ghost Lantern Firefly’s dagger.

*Puff!*

A chilling sound, the dagger deeply embedded in Windward Formation’s chest. But in Li Xun’s heart, an extremely bad feeling arose at this moment.

No, this is too wrong, something must be wrong!

The attack had already succeeded, and Windward Formation’s life was plummeting, but Li Xun suddenly felt that something was wrong. Intuition told him that he couldn’t pose here, he had to retreat immediately.

But… Windward Formation’s arm had already been raised, and the staff, Death’s Hand, just casually poked Ghost Lantern Firefly.

Down…

Ghost Lantern Firefly fell.

After a desperate strike, he only had one hit point of life left. Even a Warlock’s ordinary attack with his staff was enough to kill him. And Windward Formation was still able to make this attack, which could only mean one thing: the desperate strike had not killed him instantly.

Miscalculated.

Li Xun was filled with annoyance, but it was too late. Ghost Lantern Firefly’s 1 life point couldn’t stop anything. He was poked down by the other party’s staff.

Too absurd.

He didn’t even use any skills, just a casual poke with a normal attack, and the match was over? He was simply sending himself up there…

Sent himself up, yes, he sent himself up.

Li Xun instantly understood everything. The other party was simply setting up a trap based on his habits, deliberately giving him the opportunity to use a desperate strike directly. The moment he succeeded, Li Xun immediately felt that something was wrong. Now he realized what was wrong.

What was wrong was the opponent’s reaction.

This was a professional season, and everyone was an incredibly experienced professional player. Even if they hadn’t played in a major competition for a long time, as long as they could enter this circle, their Glory experience would definitely be more seasoned than ordinary players.

Just now, when Ghost Lantern Firefly used Arcane Flash to rush up, what did the other party notice, and what was his reaction? It was to turn around.

It was actually to turn around!

This kind of response was too basic. Any Glory player with a little bit of PK experience knew that when they sensed something strange behind them, the first thing they should do was not turn around to look, but to dodge!

Roll, jump, move sideways, charge forward, or use some skill, anything was fine, but there was no reason to turn around in place. What was the use of turning around? Would the other party see your face and show mercy and not attack?

But just now, Windward Formation was turning around.

Although he had played few matches this season, he was an old player with more than ten years of Glory experience. Turning around at this time, wasn’t that a ridiculous thing?

He didn’t realize it immediately, he was really too stupid.

He turned around at that time, which meant that he had long expected what this attack would be, and had already thought of a way to deal with it. So when the attack came, he didn’t dodge, he didn’t avoid it, he turned around. The desperate strike hit, but he picked up his staff and poked him casually.

Damn it, he was actually poked to death like this. Li Xun hugged his head, wishing he could stuff his head directly into the display screen.

He was tricked, tricked badly!

If he could have realized all of this earlier, he could have stopped in time. But he didn’t, he was completely immersed in the pleasure of ending the match with just one hit.

As a result, the match really ended, but not with his strike, but with the other party’s poke.

A Warlock, picking up his staff and poking him casually. At the thought of this, Li Xun wanted to stuff his head into the display screen again.

It was over, the third match of the individual competition was over just like that.

The audience hadn’t even reacted yet, and even the referee hadn’t reacted yet. Wei Chen had already walked out of the competition seat, beaming, waving to the audience.

This wasn’t Happy’s home field!

The audience couldn’t even stand him winning, let alone appreciate his smugness.

Wei Chen was just stirring up trouble, he insisted on waving his hand and provoking a full house of boos, and then left the stage triumphantly in the midst of the boos.

Boo! Boo as much as you want!

Wei Chen looked at the audience. What did the boos matter? In an away game, being able to attract boos was often a kind of ability. He had been there, he had won, and the boos were proof.

Wei Chen returned to Happy’s player seat, glanced at Li Xun, who was walking off the stage in a daze on Void’s side, smiled contemptuously, and raised his right little finger: "This kind of minor character, I can take him down with just one little finger. I hope the next one will make me spend a little more effort."

Everyone laughed, and this time, Ye Xiu didn’t expose him either.

Take him down with just one little finger? That was really a joke.

In this match against Void, Wei Chen had made a lot of preparations. And Li Xun was definitely an opponent he would encounter in the individual competition, because his habits were not suitable for appearing in the team arena. So for Wei Chen, Li Xun was a player he had a stable one-third chance of encountering, so he did the most research on him.

So, luckily, he really met Li Xun in the individual competition, and then everything went according to his established plan, so he took down Li Xun with one little finger.

Small tricks, these were very targeted small tricks, and they might not work next time. But the problem was that veterans like Wei Chen with more than ten years of experience probably had countless small tricks they hadn’t used yet! To repeat a small trick would really be underestimating him.
