Chapter 1275: Advantage Of Higher Ground
“Pfft!”
Seeing this scene, the audience could not help but laugh.
What kind of standard was this? An Archer would have to only have to aim correctly through a system guided targeting system. Even the worst Archer would be able to find their mark. However, the arrow from Ling Longng only flew harmlessly on the ground. It was way too embarrassing.
Did she shoot it with insufficient range? That’s not possible... The peak was not too high so there was no reason to bla the distance for the inaccuracy.
All Encompassing looked on the developnts with a slight grin. He drew his sword and continued his ascend.
At this instance, All Encompassing felt a sinking feeling and his legs seed to be bounded as he lost all movent.
“!!!”
As the audience re-evaluated the developnts, they quickly glanced at All Encompassing and saw that he was afflicted with bind.
Binding: Your shadow is bound and you are rooted for three seconds.
Ling Longng who was still standing on the peak nocked another arrow directed at All Encompassing.
An Archer was a job that personified Agility. Their attack speed was also the fastest among all the classes. Ling Longng sent a barrage of arrows towards All Encompassing unceasingly.
All Encompassing was also a top master in his own rights. Although he was rooted, his hands were not fully immobilized and he angled his sword to protect the vital parts of his body.
Ling Longng had also added a significant amount of her stat points to Intelligence so her attack damage was not high. Even though All Encompassing was rooted and his face tanked all her arrows, he only lost less than a tenth of his HP.
After his body was released, All Encompassing steadied himself as he continued his rush up the mountain.
All Encompassing was about to reach the top when he encountered another one of Ling Longng’s arrows.
“Urgh!!”
Seeing the oncoming arrow, All Encompassing roared loudly as he leapt up from the ground.
“Pah!”
The binding arrow shot towards the ground.
All Encompassing soared over in the direction of Ling Longng.
Ling Longng had already taken a step back and she raised the crossbow in her hand to confront her opponent from the skies. She took aim at him and let loose a few arrows.
“Bang!”
After a loud blast, a nacing arrow locked towards All Encompassing’s head.
[Convulsion Arrow]!!
The [Convulsion Arrow] could cause a montary confusion and it was highly effective towards a Warrior.
Ling Longng was less than two tres away from her target. The arrow flew so quickly that All Encompassing had minimal ti to react to it.
There was no room to evade such an arrow in midair, so All Encompassing had no choice but to tank the attack face on.
“Duang!”
A muffled sound reverberated throughout the arena, as All Encompassing was lying in a dazed state on the hillside.
Ling Longng moved quickly and a shot another [Binding Arrow] and restraining web as she began to accumulate power in her bow.
After two seconds, Ling Longng released the string and a dazzling streak of light hit All Encompassing squarely on his body, engulfing him from all directions.
At this ti, a line of ancient characters appeared above the head of Ling Longng: Awakening [teor Splitting Strike]!
This was the most powerful skill an Archer could possess before level 60. It was called teor Splitting Strike. After two seconds of power storage, one could shoot thirty powerful arrows to attack the target in one show.
[teor Splitting Strike] was the awakening skill equivalent of [teor Shower].
Ling Longng’s damage with this skill was not to be trifled with. With All Encompassing motionless on the ground, he received direct critical damage from all thirty arrows. All Encompassing eventually dissipated into a streak of white light as he was sent out of the arena.
The speed of her arrows was at such a breakneck speed that the audience did not fully register the battle until it was over. They only ca to a full realisation after the big screen replayed the footage of the battle.
There was not much technical nous in the battle but a few well-tid control skills and an awakening Ultimate skill.
The main source of victory ca from that fact that Ling Longng had occupied a vantage point and could pin down All Encompassing from all directions.
If it was any other terrain, there would be places for All Encompassing to hide from Ling Longng’s arrows.
It was no wonder that Team A Murder Of Crows would choose this terrain since it could make up the big gap in skills between their players.
After Ling Longng was declared as the victor for the first match, the audience could barely believe their eyes.
Frost Blade was even more incredulous at the results, “She could even win like this? Maybe even I could even give it a try.”
“Don’t spout nonsense!” Fearless retorted plainly. “This terrain is more favourable only for long-distance players.”
In-ga was vastly different from reality after all. In reality, occupying the high ground could gain you significant advantages while it was not such a big advantage in the ga. The high ground in-ga were only for vision and control.
Furthermore, close-combat jobs had simply no advantage when they occupied the high ground.
“What were your intentions when you chose this terrain? Is it only effective for long-distance players?” Frost Blade was still confused.
Fearless continued, “I want to raise our odds of winning as much as possible through a favourable terrain. At the very least, half of our team consists of ranged attackers. ”
The original Team A Murder Of Crows only had three players who had a good grasp of victory. Choosing a favourable terrain brought additional advantages to their ranged mbers which could consequently improve their chances of victory.
...
Moving on to the second match, a Kyushu Squad mber was transferred into the arena.
Sacred Mountain was selected to be the competitor this ti.
Hmm... Sacred Mountain had a formidable strength but he had t overwhelming opponents every ti he was called up to battle. The first ti he had t a swordmaster and next he had t Wang Yu.
This ti, Sacred Mountain’s luck finally improved. He had t Ling Longng who was an Archer.
In theory, an Assassin would have the advantage over an Archer.
The biggest advantage of the high ground that the player had full vision of his opponent. However, this advantage was nulled in the face of an Assassin because they could disappear from view through [Stealth] anyway.
Sacred Mountain knew that he held the advantage this ti. The mont the signal for the match to begin, Sacred Mountain wasted no ti as he activated [Stealth] and charged straight to the top of the mountain.
Ling Longng had lost vision of her opponent instantly and could only retreat.
If Ling Longng had shot a few arrows in his direction, Sacred Mountain would still have to re-evaluate whether Ling Longng had any anti-stealth skills. However, the actions that Ling Longng took gave him information that she did not have such skills.
Sacred Mountain quickly scaled the mountain and reached the peak. He saw Ling Longng in the distance motionless.
Sacred Mountain had already endured two rounds of beating. He resisted the urge to rush up to his opponent let alone an Archer with trap skills. As long as Ling Longng had no vision of him, he was 80% confident in his ability to avoid her traps.
Sacred Mountain picked up a small stone on the ground and tossed it behind Ling Longng.
