Chapter 219: The Strategists Are Cunning
Noodletown Translations
“It’s Cloak of Shadows?!” Xiao Yulv suddenly recognized the skill.
“Cloak of Shadows?!” The audience looked toward him, obviously unfamiliar with this skill.
“In this Diablo World, the assassins know spiritual spells such as ‘Cloak of Shadows’, which uses mana to create a huge shadow of darkness to limit the enemy’s senses. The higher level the skill, the larger the area covered in darkness!” Xiao Yulv was quite knowledgeable about this.
However, he was baffled. “Where did the assassin come from?”
The area of the darkness was several times bigger than the casting range of sorcerers and sorceresses; this skill must be above level 10!
Ordinary assassins wouldn’t waste so many skill points on this skill.
The previous matches showed that the advantages of sorceresses were their swift teleports and large attack range.
These advantages enabled sorcerers and sorceresses to handle opponents who were good at close-range combat. However, the sorcerers and sorceresses would have to be cautious in the darkness with teleports since they didn’t know where their enemies were!
The results would be quite unpredictable!
“Runeword – Nadir. Although it is only a low-level runeword with ordinary properties, it offers level 13 Cloak of Shadows,” Nalan Mingxue sipped on the Coke and explained lightly.
The moment that An Cheng got teleported to the battlefield, he was engulfed by darkness; the only thing that gave him a sense of security was his outspreading spiritual senses.
In the boundless darkness, the sorcerers and sorceresses were at a disadvantage. Suddenly, An Cheng felt something attacking him in the darkness!
He dodged subconsciously and felt several blessed hammers twirled past him with whistling sounds! However, one of them smashed onto his shoulder!
Teleport!
After several teleports, An Cheng soon got out of the darkness. However, when he saw the paladin in the distance, a huge cloud of darkness engulfed the area he stood on again!
Subconsciously, he used teleport again!
The darkness still moved toward him!
Suddenly, he felt like he crashed into a solid wall!
He had arrived at the edge of the land, and the surrounding area was all sealed!
In the darkness, he heard whistling sounds and used teleport without thinking!
“This sorcerer is in a very bad situation!” Mu Donglai looked at the screen and said.
“I’m not sure about that!” Xiao Yulv waved his folding fan and said, “Brother An was caught off guard, and he hasn’t used the Hydra yet. We can’t say that he’s at a disadvantage!”
On the screen, An Cheng seemed to know that he couldn’t get out of the darkness no matter how many teleports he used, so he waved his staff and hurriedly chanted a short spell. Then, in a wave of flames, an ugly flame serpent with three heads stood before An Cheng!
Lan Yan dodged the flames spat out by the Hydra and disappeared into the darkness again.
“If they continue fighting this way,” Mu Donglai said, “They might get into a deadlock, right? After all, no one can stop the sorcerers and sorceresses from fleeing.”
“You’re right,” Nalan Mingxue said, “It’s no use chasing after him.”
Sure enough, Lan Yan stopped chasing.
An Cheng took this moment to regain his breath.
He summoned several Hydras. If his opponent came up, these flame monsters would attack fiercely; he didn’t need to worry.
Time ticked on, and An Cheng suddenly felt like something was wrong!
He wondered why his opponent still didn’t show up!
“How come An Cheng is running back?!” All the people watched the unusual scene on the screen!
“Passive play. It seems that he received a warning for being too passive.” Nalan Mingxue explained, “Without the teleport staff, paladins can’t catch up with sorcerers and sorceresses, so the best strategy is to force them to escape and play passively. After receiving the warning, the sorcerers and sorceresses must return and attack.”
“Since the sorcerers and sorceresses would initiate the passive play, they must initiate the battle. If they don’t, there will be a second warning. If the third warning comes, they will lose the match.”
The people in the audience exclaimed, “Young Master An kept teleporting. Since he doesn’t know his opponent’s position, he had put too much distance between him and his opponent. If he doesn’t return, he will receive the warning for playing passively?!”
What a great disadvantage it was for a sorcerer or a sorceress to look for a paladin in the darkness!
An Cheng was looking for Lan Yan when he felt a figure rushing to him from one side!
Teleport!
Obviously, they were very close, and Lan Yan had arrived before him in the blink of an eye.
A shield crashed toward him!
Shield Strike!
She rushed up and interrupted An Cheng’s teleport before it was even used! In a bout of heavy dizziness, An Cheng stumbled back under the fierce shield attack!
At this moment, An Cheng’s heart fell since the sorcerers and sorceresses had little room for error.
An Cheng was obviously panicking. When he raised his staff to teleport again, the shield crashed down almost at the same time and interrupted his teleport for the second time.
It was impossible to teleport again!
The staff and the blessed hammer crashed down at the same time!
Lan Yan won!
Xiao Yulv: “…”
All the people gaped at the sight. “How could this happen?!”
“Strengths and skills are not the only key factors in determining the result of a match,” Nalan Mingxue said, “One can gain a victory by using the rules to one’s advantage.”
[You guys are dirty for using strategies to win.] At this moment, a bullet message appeared on the big screen.
“It must be the shop owner who sent this message…”
Nalan Mingxue: “…”
The next match was between Li Haoran who was in the fourth place and Zhou Hongying who was in the 13th place.
“This girl usually plays with Bai Lang, and she is Ms. Ye’s senior sister from the Cloud Ocean Faction,” Xiao Yulv said, “She is good, but I put my money on brother Li.”
“Haoran bought an item with good properties yesterday, and it has the ‘cannot be frozen’ property.” Mu Donglai nodded and said, “He does have better odds of winning.”
“You two just shut up!” Lan Mo almost jumped up from the couch. After all, every time these two said someone would win, that person would lose!
“Li Haoran is winning.” At this moment, Li Haoran’s Hydra and his own spiritual spells crashed forward in the surging flames, and his opponent fell to the ground soon.
“He… won?”
Lan Mo and Jun Yangzi stared at the screen and then turned to look at Xiao Yulv and Mu Donglai in disbelief. “He won?!’
“Isn’t that guy the shop owner’s friend?” At this moment, people noticed that the next match was about to begin.
“His opponent is… Elder Fu?!” Even Lin Shao and Xu Luo froze at the sight.
“Can he last more than one minute?” Xiao Yulv shook his head and said, “The fatty might have a chance if he had another opponent. But now, he will lose quickly.”

“…”
Many people sent bullet messages on the big screen.
[Condolences to the Fatty!]
