Chapter 1070: Removing Stealth
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
The Mage Sindra was representing Blue Universe in the single matches.
It was a Thief vs. Mage fight!
Previously, he was comforting his Leader about Ruling Sword. Now that Sindra was actually facing Lu Li, he found that all his words were said in vain as he could barely hold his Magic Staff without shaking.
Of course, he couldn’t regret his decision now.
They couldn’t stay under Drizzle Court forever, so it was really important for them to be able to stand out.
There wasn’t a single person who didn’t want to take the lilight. Right from the beginning of the ga, they had dreams of becoming the champions. Wasn’t that why they trained so hard over the years?
Sindra steeled himself and prepared himself to see how strong this Lu Li person really was. He stared at Lu Li, who imdiately vanished in place.
Sindra started calculating the angle that Lu Li’s attack would take, and when there would be an opportunity to make an attack. Professionally trained players were like ticulous instrunts. After Lu Li had gone into Stealth, he started counting.
But in fact, he was completely wrong.
Lu Li didn’t do anything fancy. He directly appeared by the Mage and cast Sap before appearing behind the Water Elental. Not only was Lu Li now behind the target he actually wanted to attack, but he had also managed to dodge the Water Elental’s Frost Nova.
His original position behind Sindra had been frosted over, but there wasn’t a player frozen there in place.
Sindra’s reaction ti was quite fast, but unfortunately, he was incorrect about Lu Li’s intentions.
Lu Li intended to kill the Elental that only had a little HP. As for whether the Water Elental could remove Sap from Sindra, that was a different matter.
In short, Lu Li was taking advantage of his current high attack strength and Sindra’s Water Elental, which was still in its first stage and had low HP. Lu Li was adamant on dealing with this troubleso pet first.
He began dealing as much damage as he could to the Mage’s Elental, but this kind of strategy was not one many players were willing to use.
In general, most Thieves wouldn’t be able to get rid of the pet before the Mage recovered. If the Elental didn’t die, then its HP would be quickly recovered.
Sindra originally thought that was the case, but when he saw the speed at which his Elental’s HP was dropping, he was forced to make a choice. Lu Li’s attack had been greatly increased in the last few days. He had heard of this, but witnessing it first hand was an entirely different experience.
He couldn’t beat Lu Li!
Even though he knew he couldn’t win, he still had to try to create so opportunities for the players after him. Otherwise, Lu Li would defeat all five of their players, and leave them with a humiliating defeat.
As Sindra beca heated up, he ended the Sap effect and hit Lu Li with an Instant cast skill.
Lu Li wasn’t a God and he wasn’t able to react imdiately. Fortunately, instant skills were characterized by their reduced damage, so there was nothing to worry about.
Moreover, he had been taking minor chunks of damage all this ti anyway, but he no longer continued to attack the Elental. Lu Li’s target had now changed to Sindra, who no longer had his badge.
As for the Elental, Lu Li honestly didn’t think that it would have enough ti to cast Frost Nova again. Without Frost Nova, all it could do was deal so damage and slow a target.
When faced with Lu Li’s aggressive advance, Sindra carefully adopted a kiting tactic.
In a Mage vs. Thief fight, one of them would want to kite while the other would want to get close. The forr required a degree of patience and mobility while the latter would have to pay attention to the positioning and timing of their attacks. The direction of a Thief’s attack mattered, so they needed to be able to surround the Mage, which required more skill.
Sindra’s Elental hadn’t died yet and its Frostbolt could slow down the movent and attack speed of Lu Li.
However, no one would be able to explain to him why soone who had lost movent speed would still be able to run around him. Sindra had no choice but to turn and face Lu Li, because all Mages had to ensure that they didn’t leave their backs to a Thief.
“It seems like Thieves are quite the Mage killer,” the female comntator said sympathetically, making his loss look a bit more graceful.
“Not necessarily – Unforgettable Maple was a Thief in the previous ga. In fact, the key is to watch a player’s usual habits and playstyle,” the male comntator disagreed. It was aningless to say which Profession was stronger than another. Unforgettable Maple rarely lost to Kitchen Knife, Hornet’s Nest and Blood Dagger in the first half of the year.
“What professions do you think pose a threat to Lu Li?” the female comntator asked.
“Any profession has the potential to do so, but with the current rankings and equipnt, there are no more than ten players that can take him down. Particularly since these matches are heavily affected by the tactics in use,” the male comntator answered. He was biased towards the players’ technical abilities as he was the head of fighting analytics.
Warriors were considered to be a Thief’s greatest nesis because of their bleeding effects which prevented them from going into Stealth. Paladins were also difficult because of their great HP and damage reducing effects.
Nearly one-third of the top 100 players in the Level Rankings were Mages, followed by Warlocks, who had a Flare effect. Hunters with strong pets also posed a threat to Thieves.
In all honesty, Sindra was fairly skilled Mage.
It was just too bad that he was nervous. After being attacked by Lu Li, he quickly beca passive in his fighting style. When Lu Li finished him off, he still had about 70% HP, and most of the damage had been dealt by the Water Elental.
The second player was Blue Universe’s Leader, a Warrior who now had to face Lu Li on 70%HP.
Enthrall knew that he didn’t have ti to waste, so he imdiately cast Rain of Fire as he waved his weapon around. It had diocre damage, but it could ignite his opponent and prevent them from using Stealth, Shadowld and Exile for 30 seconds...
This basically ant that Lu Li’s Stealth had been temporarily removed.
Without Stealth, it was just a competition of mobility, but Lu Li couldn’t face the Warrior head on. The hamr that his opponent was holding was probably an Epic that could deal significant damage to him, especially with the Berserker effects.
As such, Lu Li watched and reacted. When Enthrall Charged, Lu Li blinked away, and when he accelerated, Lu Li followed suit...
For the first few seconds, they didn’t co into contact at all. Lu Li had perfectly responded to Enthrall’s every move.
Once thirty seconds were up, he stopped playing this cat and mouse ga and just entered Stealth.
