How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Although the crescent-shaped figure disappeared again, the mage's mobility was weak and he would not move too far from that position.

As long as I can catch up.

I let Ahri buff herself with agility, and I quickly rushed to the place where the opponent last disappeared.

The distance of more than one hundred yards was quickly shortened, but just as he was about to approach and cross the corner of a hill.

Unexpected suddenness.

The ground suddenly seemed to come alive and moved like waves. It was difficult to maintain one's posture while standing on it. The earth walls on both sides broke open, revealing the sharp stone cones hidden in them.

I reacted quickly and used flash to move forward immediately.

However, as if the action was predicted, the place where he landed suddenly turned into quicksand, constantly pulling him into it.

The two stone puppets hiding in the corner appeared as if they had found an opportunity, and they immediately appeared and attacked him with a rumble. At the same time, a huge stone statue appeared in the air above his head and suddenly fell down.

An attack of this magnitude leaves no doubt as to what the consequences would be if hit.

This is one of the characteristics of the local method, and Yueya Wanwan is obviously specialized in this direction, cleverly judging her own movement trajectory to achieve the linkage of several skills, forming an effect similar to a chain trap. The more complex the terrain, the better the effect, and the more sophisticated the local method technology is. From this point of view, the opponent has done a particularly good job.

But he didn't get beaten for nothing.

The moment the stone statue fell, a layer of gray light emerged to help him counter the damage and control.

After so many battles, I have become more and more proficient in the use of soul counter, and I have also figured out the more specific effects. This skill is not just about resisting the effect of a skill once.

Instead, it adds a layer of "spell shield" to itself, resisting all control effects within 0.5 seconds of triggering this "shield", and then countering the effects and damage according to the skill that is triggered first.

In other words, if used properly, there is a 0.5 second period of time to ignore control.

The constant pulling sensation caused by the quicksand under his feet eased, allowing him to use the blink technique to escape. The moment his figure disappeared, two stone puppets attacked from the left and right. The thick stone arms smashed down on the ground, causing violent noises and smoke.

"Ahri."

I called out softly as I landed.

Ahri understood and waved her hand. A wall of ice suddenly rose up and separated the two hills, isolating the pursuing stone puppets behind her.

I don't have the time to get entangled with them. The important thing is to get rid of the real culprit.

Chapter 133 Ending

Before Flash left the quicksand's range, he took a quick glance and determined the opponent's direction and position through the damage numbers that emerged through the soul's counterattack.

Even if this method was not used, the previous several linked skills proved that Crescent Moon was not far away, otherwise the skills cast between each other would not have been so accurate.

But when I approached the target location along the path between the hills, I suddenly felt strange.

This place is like a half-covered valley, with a relatively wide view. There is no shadow at a glance, and the relatively flat terrain around means that there are not many places to hide here.

It would take at least some time for the two stone golems to break the ice wall, but if they chose to go around the hill next to them, they could save a lot of time, even for their bulky bodies.

It would be best if the problem could be solved before the stone puppet arrives to provide support, otherwise there would be some trouble.

I winked at Ali.

The little guy was very smart. He jumped off my shoulder and flew into the air to search for any suspicious movements around.

Soon, Ali discovered something strange on the hills on the east side.

I immediately flashed and chased after him, but just as I got close to the side of the hill, an accident suddenly occurred.

Not long after they rushed up the hill, the mountain behind them suddenly cracked and revealed a slender figure. It was the missing Yueya Wanwan. It turned out that she had been hiding on the surface of the mountain and waiting for an opportunity using the characteristics of her profession.

And now is the best time after I have used up my displacement skills.

The staff in her hand had been raised, revealing a brilliant light, and the surging magical aura was clearly a sure-kill move.

That's exactly what happened.

Because the next moment, a magnificent magic circle appeared in the sky, as if connected to a mysterious world. It was made entirely of dark red granite, and huge arms as big as battleships stretched out from it and suddenly fell to the ground.

boom--

This blow was like the anger of a god. The powerful force even pressed the mountain down, causing countless flying grass leaves and dirt, and dust scattered everywhere, sweeping outward like a tidal wave.

From a distance, it looked almost like a missile explosion.

The feeling of powerlessness as her magic power was instantly drained came over her mind. Crescent Moon hid behind a protruding earth slope to avoid the flying debris, and took out the potion to use it to recover. She looked weak but could not hide her joy.

This was her trump card that she had kept for a long time. Even if she faced the top group of heavily armored shield warriors, she was confident that she could reduce their health to below the warning line. Even if the mage did not die, he would definitely be forced to use a life-saving trick.

"I'm sorry, Xiaotong, I also want to add some combat performance points."

Crescent Moon whispered.

The combat performance points are assessed by the system based on the player's specific performance in each round-robin match, and are used to subdivide the rankings among players. Otherwise, there will definitely be situations in the future where the same points rankings will be indistinguishable.

This is also the reason why many players give their all even though they know they can’t win.

"No need to apologize, Sister Yueya, I'm fine."

A familiar voice sounded from behind.

Yueya Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned her head to look, and saw my smiling face, without any signs of injury, and even the robe on my body was not stained with dirt.

If it was against someone else, Crescent Moon's unexpected move would probably have worked.

But unfortunately her opponent is herself.

With rich experience in my previous life, I had already seen similar methods of traditional methods. When I saw that there was no one in this open terrain, I more or less guessed what Yueya Wanwan might be planning, but I didn't know the exact location. So I deliberately used my precious displacement skills in order to lure out the other party.

When I encountered the linkage skills before, I first activated the magic diversion and then used the subsequent flash, which caused Yueya Wanwan to misjudge the cooling time of my displacement skills.

As early as when that palace-level magic fell, he used the flash and flicker that had finished cooling down to go behind Crescent Moon with the help of the smoke.

I don't know how I escaped though.

But at this moment, seeing that I was unharmed, the staff in his hand had been raised and pointed at himself, with a dark light hidden in it. It was obvious what kind of power was contained in this spell that had already been condensed but not yet released.

Crescent Moon sighed and raised her hands, "Alright, alright, I give up."

None of the trump cards posed any threat, so the battle was naturally decided.

After Yueya Wanwan voluntarily admitted defeat, the battle naturally came to an end.

Excluding the process of rushing on the road, the real battle only took place within a few minutes. It is estimated that the tens of millions of spectators watching his game would say that it was not satisfying enough.

But only real expert players can see the game and danger involved.

We won the first game, and the two games in the afternoon did not cause us much trouble.

Because I was worried that the magician wasn't entertaining enough, and my dad specifically mentioned this issue at noon.

So the opponents in the two games in the afternoon suffered.

The second match was against the 218th ranked Wind Mage from the Empire Epic. His skills could be considered top-notch among Wind Mage, but in the end he still couldn't escape the fate of being assassinated by himself.

The third game was even easier, facing the 756th priest of the Eternal Spire. Even if the opponent had a strong desire to survive and used all the means of visibility and invisibility such as light spell and illumination spell, he could not prevent the final failure.

After all, thieves are a natural restraint for priests.

What’s quite funny is that this lively young lady was very optimistic at the end and said that she had at least held out for nearly an hour, but she didn’t know that she was just trying to get some “live broadcast time” and hide her strength and deliberately delayed.

The next day we won all the games again, taking another solid step towards the top 100.

There were also few obstacles in the following days of competition. They won all the way and continued their unbeaten record of the previous two days. The points increased to 42. The others who also maintained an undefeated record had been reduced from hundreds of people on the first day to only nearly thirty people now.

In Alice, only I, Yiwen, Sister Qiuru, Sugared Coffee and Gray Flowing Years still maintain a perfect record.

Even Cecilia, Luo Qingjie, and Makino lost one or two victories because of strong enemies. It was especially unfortunate that Cecilia faced Gray Ye, the vice guild leader of the fifth-ranked Eternal Spire, who was extremely skilled in playing arcane magic and had powerful equipment, including three legendary companions.

Although the Primal Machines under Cecilia's command were powerful, the Mechanical Alchemist's own weak defense was an obstacle that could not be avoided. Gray Ye used the flexible spellcasting characteristics of the Arcane to avoid a head-on confrontation with the Primal Machines and specifically attacked Cecilia, ultimately making this little guy taste failure for the first time.

However, it was not easy for Gray Ye to win. In the beginning, she was basically suppressed by the firepower of the original machinery. Finally, she found an opportunity and killed her opponent with an unexpected and risky move. It can only be said that she won by a narrow margin.

And even if she lost 3 points, Cecilia, who currently has 39 points, has a great chance of squeezing into the top and advancing directly.

Until the third game of the sixth day of the round-robin tournament.

I did meet an unexpected opponent.

……

There was a power outage yesterday, so I went outside to get some fresh air with my friends = =

Chapter 134 Swamp

"Hehe, I told you that we would meet again in the competition. After all, this is a duel of fate. You better be careful. I will definitely not let my guard down this time and will definitely defeat you!"

It was like the second-year remarks made by someone who had read too many comics from a certain country only received a bland reply in the end.

"Oh."

Regardless of whether the other party would feel angry but unable to vent their anger when hearing this simple yet somewhat sarcastic interjection, I had already hung up the call.

Because the countdown for the arena in front of them to simulate the competition venue has begun.

Yes, that's right.

His opponent in this match was none other than the mechanical alchemist loli he had met before, who called herself Alola.

Originally, when the other party came to me, I didn't take their declaration of war seriously.

After all, even if we match three times a day for seven days, the probability of meeting acquaintances among two thousand players is still very low, not to mention the probability of a specific combination. Even if the probability of meeting in a subsequent single elimination match increases a lot, I don't think the other party can make it into the top 100. Even if they do, the increased probability is not as reliable as buying a lottery ticket.

So a more reliable guess is -

This guy must have bribed the authorities, he must have bribed the authorities, he must have bribed the authorities, right?

系统提示：参赛选手【以瞳】进入AL118号比赛地图，限定时间【9：00—11：00】，匹配对手【阿罗不达拉（116级炼金机械术士）】，目前共有【1215193名】观众选择收看比赛。

The system's prompt sound drew his attention back.

Glancing at the still rapidly increasing number of viewers, I couldn't help but twitch my lips. The topic of the loli battle in the finals was really very popular. None of my games in the past seven days could compare to the audience data of this match.

If one of the factors is that the initial build-up of heat was not enough, then this may be affected.

But from the replays of each game, it can be seen that I, Yiwen and the other kids have watched a lot. It may be because Yiwen, Cecilia and I are ranked at the top of the points. It is outrageous that Yunxian and Yunqian can match the number of views of the top 50.

I have to complain that lolita complex does indeed make up the majority of people in this world.

However, Lolita is a rare species in the Era, and with the halo of reaching the finals, it is not surprising that it has received such popularity. Apart from Ivan and the others, the other players are only Alola, and the ice mage and shooter from Ares and Eternal Spire respectively. The latter two are ranked at the bottom and do not receive as much attention as we do.

A light mist shrouded the quiet swamp. The biggest feature of this map named AL118 was the large swamps hidden in reeds and other long grass plants. The wetland was overgrown with weeds and it was very difficult to walk. A few water birds turned their heads and looked at themselves curiously for intruding into their territory, and then lowered their heads to hunt fish and shrimps hidden in the water as if nothing had happened.

The air was so humid that you could almost pinch a handful of water out of thin air. Just after entering for a while, I felt my robe was damp and uncomfortable. Only after using the cleansing technique did I feel a little better. This might be a drawback of Epoch's extremely realistic physics engine.

To be honest, this kind of terrain is not conducive to mage combat. The large areas of reeds and scattered trees block the view while providing a good hiding place and cover for Alola.

It would definitely not be a good thing if you were to be attacked in close combat by her mechanical puppet.

But if you use a thief, it will be too simple. As mentioned before, the mechanical creations of the Mechanical Alchemist are very powerful, but their weak defenses mean that most players will not choose to tangle with their mechanical creations, but will directly choose to attack the real owner.

With your current attack, the sneak attack won't be too successful.

And if that happens, that guy Alola will definitely nag me for a long time after the game.

Since she is not convinced, then continue to use the profession of dark magic to convince her.

However, it was impossible for me to actively search for Alola's location in this swamp like a warrior, so I asked Ahri to search the surroundings, found a relatively open area nearby, stopped, and flashed to the top of the nearest tree.

The pond in front of the side is about a thousand square meters. The left side is directly separated by a cliff, which is equivalent to the boundary of the map. To the right of the pond is a grassland dotted with low shrubs and a few large trees. Choosing this area as the main venue is somewhat better than other areas.

But we have to let the other party come here.

The game had been going on for nearly twenty minutes and neither side had encountered any other, not even a trace of each other. This might not be a big deal for the two contestants, but it was torture for others.

After taking a look at the number of audience members who had left, I thought that it would be a waste of time to just wait, so I raised my hand and released a few bursts of black fireworks into the sky.

The trees on this map are generally not very tall, unlike most forests that block out the sky, so these movements can be detected even from a distance of thousands of yards. I believe that Alola can understand the signal represented by this, and given that guy's obsession with challenging me, he will definitely rush there as soon as possible.

Sure enough, in less than five minutes, Alola appeared.

To be precise, it was her mechanical puppet that appeared.

It rushed into the pool from the edge of the woods in the front right, and although it was quickly hidden in the reeds, the startled water birds and swaying grass in the distance revealed its subsequent traces.

The steel frame structure of these mechanical puppets is thicker than before, and they are equipped with additional gun muzzles on their arms. It seems that they have been modified and upgraded after the qualifying rounds. The number of mechanical puppets has also increased from two to three, and there is even a mechanical eagle patrolling and searching in the sky.

Apparently, during the qualifying round, Alola had concealed some of his strength, no wonder he had the confidence to challenge me. Moreover, the opponent was not as unreliable as he had been before, on the contrary, he had a plan to deal with it.

The mechanical eagle in the sky only provides basic vision, with its altitude controlled at about 150 yards, while the three mechanical puppets are searching inside and outside the pool, separated by a distance from each other, guarding against area magic while being able to provide support at any time if any accident occurs.
