Chapter 313: Blood Bath
Trantor: Halcyon Trantions Editor: Halcyon Trantions
It was a battle between a Thief, Mage, Druid team and a Warrior, Priest, Pdin team.
The Gangnam Royals wasted no time from the very start of the match because they couldn’t afford
their opponents the opportunity to strike first. They were up against two elite yers as well as a
Warrior who had high damage output.
Both parties stood face to face almost immediately after the match had started.
The Thief from A Straw in the Wind’s team had his eyes on Professional Healer, who had just won
the individual match. He wanted to prove to the crowd that the Gangnam Royals weren’t afraid of
one on one duels.
He was very confident that he could win the duel if it was a straight up one on one fight against
Professional Healer.
Dancing Star Dream decided to target Professional Healer as well and was determined to make him
the first person to be sent out of the arena.
Professional Healer’s HP fell very quickly because he was being targeted by two damage dealers.
Even if he and Green g Wine both activated their healing skills, it wouldn’t be enough to sustain
the damage since neither of them were healing-centred.
Deadly Golden Underwear couldn’t do anything except try and kill Old Man Power
By the time Old Man Power was at 50% HP, Professional Healer was already at critical HP (20%). It
was almost certain that he would be taken down before Old Man Power.
However, at this very moment, Profession Healer screamed and transformed into a pitch-ck
sphere.
The damage from A Straw in the Wind and Dancing Star Dream’s attacks had all be single-digit
numbers.
In the midst of the confusion, Green g Wine ganged up on Old Man Power with Deadly Golden
Underwear.
Gangnam Royals were about to lose?
When Old Man Power was defeated, everyone was stunned and speechless.
A Straw in the Wind and Dancing Star Dream had focused all of their damage onto Professional
Healer, only to have him to activate an overpowered escape skill which saved his life and made all
their efforts go to waste.
Even though Professional Healer was low on HP, the fight had be a 3 vs. 2 and it was only a
matter of time before the mission would bepleted.
Gangnam Royals had lost!
Although many people debated the oue of this fight, it was Professional Healer that
singlehandedly carried Peerless City with his patience and ability to remain calm under pressure.
Peerless City was the first team to enter the semi-finals.
The second match was between Gods of Dusk and Drizzle Court.
Although Wood Fearing was only level 24, he proved himself to be the better yer with a
convincing win over the level 25 Water Fairy who had better gear than him.
The Thief’s skill opened everyone’s eyes, proving that mechanics and game knowledge triumphed
over levels and gear.
However, in the team battle setting, Wood Fearing was like a fish out of water. Under the relentless
double team by Water Fairy and Deadly Green Orange, he was teleported out of the map almost
instantly.
Although they had won the individual match, Gods of Dusk were still eliminated from the
tournament.
Drizzle Court also entered the semi-finals.
When teams qualified for the Top 100, individual matches provided them bonus points to qualify for
the next stage. However, once the quarter-finals began, individual matches no longer provided extra
points and instead became featured matches that determined the top yers of each profession.
For example, Water Fairy had lost to Wood Fearing in the individual match. Therefore, many yers
would most likely vote for Wood Fearing over Water Fairy as the best Thief in the game.
However, some people would still vote for Water Fairy simply because she was beautiful.
The next match featured Lu Li’s team against Blood Red War g, the 3 rd highest-ranking guild in the
game.
This guild contained a high poption of retired war veterans and therefore, had a military approach
to the game.
Whether it was true or not, the rumour painted a mysterious image of the Blood Red War g.
For the same reason, Lu Li and his team would not be afraid or discouraged by Blood Red War g’s
background. Since this was a game, mechanics mattered the most.
The individual match was between Lu Li and Wild, who was a high-ranking, elite Mage yer.
However, the level 24 Mage was no match against Lu Li and his HP bar waspletely depleted
after a few minutes.
Wild the Mage, Jade Flower Lover the Shaman and Wind Town the Pdin made for an all-star line-
up.
However, many of the more experienced yers were perplexed with Blood Red War g’s team
position. Mage, Shaman and Pdin wasn’t a very advantageousbination. Under the
current meta, Warrior, Shaman and Pdin was much better than Mage, Shaman and Pdin.
Were there no Warriors in Blood Red War g?
This was unlikely, as Blood Red War g had arge talent pool of professional yers.
Their passion for the game attracted many young yers, which allowed them to foster potential
star yers.
After members joined, they continued to stay because of the culture of the guild. It was very rare for
a member to leave for another guild. Because of this reputation, Blood Red War g was able to
poach star-yers from other guilds.
Blood Red War g had managed to assemble three teams to contend for the championship.
They were hoping that all three teams would make the top 16.
If that had happened, their reputation would grow exponentially and it would only be a matter of
time before they overtook Gangnam Royals.
Unfortunately, the other two teams had already been eliminated. One team suffered chemistry
issues while the other was faced with a very tough schedule. Only the team of Mage, Shaman and
Pdin had survived and made it to the quarter finals.
Because they wanted to bnce out the strength of each team, they were forced to evenly
distribute their members, which ultimately made them weaker.
March Rain’s Soul Shriek and Moonlight’s Battle Cry crowd-controlled Wind Town and Jade Flower
Lover, leaving Wild vulnerable. The three then focused their damage onto Wild to burst him down.
He had no choice but to activate his Ice Barrier to make himself invulnerable.
Lu Li and the others immediately switched targets to Jade Flower Lover.
As soon as Wild’s invulnerability timed out, he tried to provide Jade Flower Lover with support.
However, Lu Li had his eyes on him the whole time; he activated his cape active and appeared
behind Wild, ready to abuse him.
Moonlight rushed back and used Whirlwind.
Before Wild could beg for his life, he was killed almost instantly under Lu Li’s burst and Moonlight’s
Whirlwind.
Blood Red War g had lost both the individual match and the team match. The crowd was silent
and unimpressed with their teamposition as they were over-confident and had overestimated
themselves.
The Xin Xin Mercenary Group had entered the semi-finals! Everyone was wondering how far they
could advance in the tournament.
Lu Li was interviewed after the match because Square Root Three wanted him to have a good
rtionship with the media.
No one wanted an awkward rtionship with the media because they could ruin your career.
"Hello Lu Li."
The reporter was very young and appeared to have recently entered college. She was very polite and
careful with her words.
"Hello." Lu Li looked at her business card and realised she was a reporter from Home of Esports. For
the toppany in the gaming-media industry, the standards of their reporter were quite low.
"The Xin Xin Mercenary Group has entered the semi-finals; do you feel the excitement?" The little
girl’s smile was very sweet and was typical of a "girl next door".
Lu Li recalled the time when a stranger asked if he was happy living in the Slum District. At the time,
he wanted to reply with "happy my ass."
However, now that he was on the big stage, he had to watch what he said. Lu Li nodded and replied,
"I’m pretty excited. I didn’t think that we would make it this far."
"I thought your goal was the championship?" the little reported asked, visibly surprised.
"That’s something I can only imagine," Lu Liughed.
"How do you think the Xin Xin Mercenary Group matches up with the other teams that have made it
into the semi-finals?" the little report inquired as she read off her notes discreetly.
"Because we’re a small group, weck the numbers and resources topete with bigger guilds," Lu
Li responded seriously.
The reason why he had been able to do so well in the tournament was because of his rebirth.
All the other top-tier yers had only been ying the game for a little over a month. However, Lu
Li has been ying for more than 2 years!
Once they got used to the game and developed more, they would be even more difficult to handle.
