How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Although he had broken the initiative, his own health had dropped to nearly 75% due to the bleeding effect. Recovery potions could naturally be used, but the use of all potions was not instantaneous. There was a process of using the potion, and it could be interrupted by attacking at the right time.

This is also one of the reasons why the duration of each game has ranged from more than ten minutes to nearly two hours since the start of the points round-robin tournament. If the battle is intense or one side is so passive that it cannot use recovery potions, the battle will end quickly. If neither side has burst damage, the battle will be dragged on for a long time.

Don’t look at Yiwen’s harmless appearance now. As long as I use the recovery potion, he will definitely chase after me immediately.

This is also the reason why I still have the leisure to chat with her at this moment.

"I don't believe it. An An must be bragging."

Ivan wrinkled his nose.

But she had never used this trick in front of others. She also practiced it secretly in a single-person training ground before the semi-finals. Her purpose was to catch me off guard. Moreover, this ability was very strange. How could I see through it the moment we met?

I looked at the records analyzed by [Everything] again. Although it was simple, it revealed the key points.

"It's related to your Shadow Hunter's shadow clone, right?"

"Hey, how is it possible..." Yiwen showed an expression of disbelief, but soon thought of something, "Damn, I was tricked by An An, well, but it doesn't matter if I guessed it, An An still can't escape the palm of my hand~"

This guy's train of thought is quite strange...

Seeing that he seemed to have guessed it by trickery, I curled my lips and didn't intend to correct him, "Then let's verify whether I guessed it, but this time you don't have the advantage of the first move."

"Even without it, An An's heart can still flutter, eh?(? ? ??)??, eh, wait for me..."

Chapter 149: Hidden and Appearing

The two of them retreated into stealth mode almost at the same time.

The jungle seemed to have regained its original tranquility. The breeze blew, leaving only the rustling of leaves and bushes, which echoed with the sound of waves lapping in the distance.

However, the murderous intent hidden in the air made the open space in the jungle not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface.

Although the previous fight between the two was short, anyone could see how fierce it was.

For most of the audience who had been waiting for a long time, this collision of several tens of seconds was like a stimulant, which lifted their indifferent spirits. And through the slow-motion footage replayed by the director afterwards, they saw the two people fighting more than ten times in such a short period of time. While secretly admiring them, their prejudices against the two people were also weakened a lot.

The audience is like this.

Those masters who have rich experience and can understand the game and tactical exchanges through operations, especially thieves, have even more brilliance in their eyes.

"Awesome! This is how top thieves should fight."

"I didn't expect to be outdone by two little kids."

Dead Sky, Robin, and other Rogue players who went against the tide watched the fight between the two on the live broadcast and applauded.

Chu Ci, who is known as the chief thief of Nishio, also secretly sighed, "Sure enough, what the boss said is right. We still have a lot to learn."

It's not just the technology but also the awareness.

Originally, they were planning to cheer for Black King Caesar's game, but when the draw results came out yesterday, Black King Caesar specifically instructed the elite thieves in the guild to go and watch tomorrow's event.

"Don't underestimate these two little girls. This may be a fight between the two top thieves in Orwen. You'd better go and watch and learn. You can learn something more or less."

As thieves who have been famous since the beginning of Storm, Chu Ci, Sky Dead Silence and Robin all have their own pride. When they were defeated by me in the Molten Iron Castle, they simply attributed it to the summons playing a major role.

When they saw the semi-final scenes at this moment, they truly realized the gap.

At the very least, if they were to deal with Ivan's elusive attacks at the beginning, they would not be able to find a way to crack them and might even be killed directly.

It's hard for them to survive by chance, let alone be able to defend themselves like me while counterattacking, or even figure out the principle of the opponent's attack in such a short confrontation.

"As expected of a teacher."

Ye Yuan looked at the cute face in the picture that showed confidence, and her eyes lit up.

"Oh, it seems that Xiao Yuan was sent by the president, just like her sister."

Posa came over from the side and put her hand on her shoulder. While she was talking, her pretty eyes looked at the figure on the other side who was also staring at the screen intently. "Our little Shitong must have been sent by the team leader."

Ivan and Nightwish jointly manage the thieves' gang. Ivan is mainly responsible for training, so it is not wrong to call him the leader.

"Master will not lose." Ci Tong turned his head and glanced at the two of them and said lightly, obviously understanding the meaning of Posa's words.

"Are you guessing which side will win?" Qing Mingyue's attention was also drawn to him. "I think so, too, Captain."

"Come on, the market is open. It won't be fun without some bets." Xishu's eyes lit up and he immediately started to make arrangements. He had just set up a stall when a business came to him. "Oh, 200 gold coins are bet on the president. That's a big deal, Brother Yingshen."

She crossed her arms and shook her head, "Just remember to pay me when the time comes."

Except for Yingceng Chanmian, Posa, Ye Yuan and others, most of the elites in the thieves' group bet on Yiwen, and even Xishu tilted the odds in my favor, thinking that it was obvious who had a greater chance of winning.

After all, the elites of the thieves' gang have basically been trained by Yiwen, and they have a clearer understanding of the latter's terrifying strength.

Although I have left many deeds in the guild, due to my hands-off personality, there are only a few people in the entire guild who have seen me take action, let alone the thieves' group.

The playful betting on the part of the thieves' group also spread to other people in the guild.

It seemed like Ning Youyou also opened another gambling game with the management and the elite group. Compared to the Thieves' Group, Luoxue Fengye, Qiu Ru and other management and elite groups still gave their president some face and bet 50-50.

Even a few little guys got involved, but they all put their pressure on me.

Similar gambling games also exist in Rose Heart, but for these girls, it is more like a mascot popularity ranking competition.

The atmosphere outside the venue naturally has no impact on the venue.

Since the two of them entered stealth mode and disappeared on the spot almost at the same time, if it were not for the occasional swaying of leaves and bushes in the wind, this jungle would have seemed to have fallen into a piece of crystal clear amber.

But just like the sea surface that looks calm but hides whirlpools, suddenly turbulence breaks this stagnant state.

It was still Yiwen who took the first step.

Even without using the 24-point counting method, her powerful concealment ability and extraordinary perception allow her to always take the initiative in confrontations with fellow thieves.

The cold light was sharp, like the Milky Way hanging upside down.

But I knew I was at a disadvantage, so I had been on guard against the opponent's attack. I used the short blade in my backhand to just deflect the dagger's attack. At the moment the two weapons crossed, I had already retreated half a step and extended the short blade in my left hand backwards.

He misjudged the attack from behind, and the distance he retreated was just enough to make a mysterious attack from the left front miss.

This proves that what I call seeing through is not just talk.

However, Yiwen still didn't believe it and thought it was just a coincidence. His figure disappeared and appeared in the trajectory of my retreat in an instant. The dagger drew a very tricky arc and stabbed upwards, like a silver dragon swooping out of the sea.

At the same time, a cold light came towards him from the right front.

"I've already told you I've seen through it."

The plain words rang out.

When Yiwen attacked first, I had already hidden a phantom nearby. When the two attacks were about to meet, I controlled the phantom without hesitation to launch a sharp blade attack, and with the phantom's position change, I achieved the effect of appearing behind the opponent in an instant.

The attacker and the attacked.

Identities swapped in the blink of an eye.

Although Yiwen knew that I had the ability to control phantoms, in fact, almost everyone who had watched me compete as a thief knew it, but he had never used it before and was confident in his own perception, which led to his slow reaction at this moment.

The short blade attacked with a backhand strike.

The flashing light helped Yiwen break free from the stun control, but it could not avoid the offensive output within this extreme reaction time. Although there was no bleeding effect, two consecutive bone-cutting and backstabs also reduced Yiwen's health output by 20%.

This is the characteristic of the thief profession, a battle on the edge of a knife.

Every encounter was fatal.

I consumed a dark star to activate the power of Guanxing, avoiding the counterattack and the mysterious attack that came again. Even though Yuwen avoided the damage of Guanxing with the help of Flash Step, I also achieved the purpose of retreating and entering stealth again.

Yiwen's shadow also disappeared behind him.

The jungle seemed to have returned to its previous state, seemingly peaceful yet full of murderous intent.

Chapter 150: The Killing Technique

So who is getting nervous now?

I observed the quiet jungle around me and smiled to myself.

Through the analysis of [Everything], Ivan's attack, which was mysterious in the eyes of others, was not explained in detail to me, but I roughly understood the principle behind it.

The Shadow Hunter has the ability of shadow clones, which is similar to his own phantom. But compared to the purely functional role of the phantom, the shadow clone is more powerful and can cause damage. The damage is not low, and the maximum output can even be higher than that of the original body. Many skills are also developed around this ability, which can be said to be the foundation of this hidden profession.

Yiwen also cannot do without the use of shadow clones.

Follow you like a shadow.

This should be the ability Yiwen gained after reaching the second level conditions and accepting the advanced task. It allows the shadow clone to attach to a fixed target, making it undetectable and unattackable. The attack caused by controlling the shadow clone can trigger attack effects and use the skills it comes with. However, it only has 80% of the original damage effect, and can also switch directions with the shadow clone.

The shadow clone's attack seems to be able to come from all directions, but in fact it is fixed in four directions: left front - right front - left back - right back. Each direction has an attack time with independent cooling calculation, and changing position is equivalent to the attack also taking up independent cooling time.

So if there was an attack in a certain direction before, there would be no need to guard against that direction for a period of time afterwards. This was also the means I used to deal with it before, plus a little psychological judgment of this guy Yiwen.

The battle in the jungle continues.

It was usually Yiwen who took the first move every time. It was obvious that during the fight, she had become convinced by what I said about seeing through my moves, and she wanted to speed up the tempo of the fight.

Or he wanted to use a violent attack to disrupt the opponent's position.

Yuwen did a great job in this regard. After all, she was smart and knew her strengths.

He began by using his powerful stealth ability and perception to achieve the effect of the attack, and after gaining the upper hand, he immediately launched an offensive, combined with attacks that followed him like a shadow to form an endless offensive, in order to achieve the effect of compressing his own reaction space to the greatest extent, like a wolf cub that would not let go after biting its enemy.

Cute, but fierce.

On the other hand, I naturally took a defensive stance as much as possible, and occasionally used special means such as Phantom Hand, Phantom Replacement and Knowledge Retrieval to break the opponent's offensive and counterattack.

When fighting with top thieves, especially someone as elusive as Ivan, the Star-Destroying Blade requires the accumulation of dark stars through attacks, which naturally cannot be fully utilized like in the battle against Sister Shuiyan. Only a few can be cast, and most of them are used for the Power of Protecting Stars and the Power of Penetrating Stars.

The former avoids damage, while the latter evades by displacement.

The image of this clearing in the jungle seemed as if someone had been constantly pressing play, fast forward, and pause.

Instant attack and quick response, torrential suppression and counterattack. After most of the skills fell into a vacuum period, it was like the rain stopped and both of them re-entered stealth mode and waited for an opportunity.

One is waiting for the opportunity to attack again, the other is waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

The intensity and excitement of the performance made the audience outside exclaim in delight and applaud, and also weakened the prejudice of most of them against the two.

And this is a gradual process like the ebb and flow of the tide.

Although he also made mistakes in judgment or reacted inadequately, and his health was constantly being reduced, after he gradually adapted to Ivan's offensive and launched increasingly rapid and powerful counterattacks, Ivan's health dropped at a rate not much slower than his own.

Reaction, awareness and technology are one aspect.

In terms of attributes, even though Yiwen has an epic suit, he is still far behind himself.

Time quickly came to about thirty-four minutes after the battle began.

The two faced off for the seventh time.

I only had 13% of my health left, while Iven had 16%. It was a real duel on the edge of a knife. Any slight mistake could cost the lives of both of us.

Therefore, our confrontation was more cautious.

But this is only on the surface. The Honor Immunity skill on the Medal of Honor allows me to offset death and become invincible for 30 seconds, which naturally makes me more confident.

Therefore, after using Flash Step to dodge the two attacks from Yiwen and the shadow clone, I caught a moment of flaw revealed by the opponent. I seized this opportunity without any hesitation, and instantly stepped forward to show the sharpness of the short blade in my hand.

It doesn't matter even if he is countered. The 30 seconds of invincibility are enough for him to force out Yiwen's trump card or life-saving means, and then give this little guy the most fatal blow.

Even the holy objects carried by the other party are useless.

Facing this attack, Yiwen did not dodge at all but took it head-on, and was stunned on the spot by me.

The balance of victory suddenly tilted completely towards him.

I was stunned, and when I saw the strange light in Ivan's eyes, I suddenly felt a great sense of alarm in my heart.

A familiar cold light came towards me.

His body subconsciously wanted to dodge, but there was no way to avoid it, because the cold light came from four completely different directions and completely locked all the surrounding space.

Stun, stun, stun, stun.

Flashing, Phantom swapping, and all the means available to Guanxing cannot avoid the simultaneous control effect.

This was Ivan's killer move that he had kept for a long time, or it could be said that he had borrowed a little from a psychological tactic - the shadow clone attack method that was deliberately repeated in the previous stage would make people fall into habitual misunderstandings.

But in fact, attacks in all directions can be used at the same time.

"Don't underestimate me, An An~"

Yiwen giggled and showed her cute fangs. She knew that I had the ability of invincibility immunity, but she still deliberately exposed my flaws and even my killer moves. Naturally, she placed all her bets on her own trump card.
