The spectators at the scene watched in amazement as the Seven Silver Coins were ganged up on and wiped out before collectively returning to their starting point.
Throughout the process, the audience kept a close eye on their movements, and sure enough, after rallying, the Silver Coins headed back towards the direction where they were wiped out.
“What is meant by ‘falling down and getting up from where you fell’? In this game, whether it’s Blood Roses, Rattlesnakes, or Seven Silver Coins, they have given us a very vivid interpretation! Or from another perspective, this is the spirit of holographic sports!” Tao Zi’s words were quite impassioned, assuming there wasn’t a hint of a desire for chaos in the lines. “Now we can see that the Seven Silver Coins have embarked on the path of revenge. Although there is an old saying about an eye for an eye, on the battlefield, not advancing is retreating. Let’s look forward to the rematch between the Seven Silver Coins and the alliance of Blood Roses and Rattlesnakes!”
Listening to his enthusiastic partner, Brother Tiao cleared his throat at the right moment and reminded, “Before that, let’s focus on the situation of the Firepower guild.”
From a bird’s-eye view, it could be seen that the alliance team of Blood Roses and Rattlesnakes was getting closer to the location of the Firepower.
The latter had indeed been quite lucky in this match. Not only did they harvest a boss without any interference in the first place, but they had also found the third boss of the match and quietly reduced its health by 30.
Of course, luck was indispensable but not eternal.
As the commander of the Firepower guild, Decorations knew better than to believe that his guild was chosen by destiny. Even stealing a boss required a prayer session upon returning. They didn’t expect to win without a fight.
Therefore, during the boss siege, they had already cleverly placed gold magic puppets in a few tricky positions for protection. Consequently, they quickly detected the approach of the teams from Blood Roses and Rattlesnakes.
Seeing the number of incoming players, Decorations was clearly surprised, “This is an alliance?”
Choosing to cooperate in the finals where everyone was fighting individually was indeed baffling. Decorations vaguely sensed that the teams of these two guilds had evidently gone through something. Without hesitation, he gave the order on the team voice channel, and the formation was quickly adjusted.
Faced with the joint pressure from two powerful guilds, they decisively chose to confront them.
This kind of decision would be considered a last-ditch effort for any guild, but the captain of the Firepower guild, Decorations, became famous by adopting an iron defense approach. In terms of defensive structure, it was not an exaggeration to say that one person could withstand an entire team. The collision between the two sides unexpectedly managed to intercept the alliance of the two guilds.
The large golden magic puppets lined up in a row, forming the most solid defense wall, skillfully intercepting the overwhelming skill damage on the periphery, creating an absolutely safe output environment for their teammates.
Tao Zi watched in awe, “When it comes to defense, we have to look at our Turtle God! Tsk, it seems like the Firepower guild is planning to directly kill. The health value is almost reaching 50. If they really score the points for this boss, Blood Roses and Rattlesnakes can basically be considered directly eliminated. Now, let’s see what they plan to do.”
The two teams on the field were well aware of the current situation.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Mad Stomp couldn’t help but curse, “The damn thing I hate the most is still this old turtle. Even a millennium old turtle can’t be as resilient as him. He just cowers there without daring to fart!”
The Old Turtle was Decorations’ nickname, stemming from his indestructible puppet defense formation. That’s why he was often referred to as the “Turtle God” by others.
The amount of healing from Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands was a wonder in the era, while Decorations’ shield was another headache-inducing existence.
Especially now, the Firepower guild cleverly trapped the boss in the farthest corner, with steep terrain on three sides acting as a natural barrier. The gold magic puppet defended at the entrance, making it almost impossible for even a fly to pass.
Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands kept an eye on the boss’s health value and felt a headache. Just then, he heard a member from the Rattlesnakes guild, Lone Tomb, suddenly say, “Hold your ground.”
As the words fell, everyone noticed the faint glow rising under their feet.
One could only say that this kind of light and shadow effect was too familiar, causing Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands to almost instinctively flip to avoid the range. Fortunately, he reacted in time and steadied himself.
Accustomed to Jiang Shi’s operations, Lone Tomb, the former number one runemaster, seemed a bit slow in setting up the formation. However, the landing points of the two runes were extremely accurate, precisely covering the landing points of Blood Roses and Rattlesnakes, flawlessly transporting them to the other side of the gold magic puppet defense.
After landing, Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands couldn’t help but ask, “Did you even buy the formula for this spatial rune?”
Before, Rattlesnakes had used a rune stone with a healing effect in the front, thanks to the media. It had become widely known that they had obtained the rune formula from the Seven Silver Coins. However, until now, people only realized that they had bought more than just this one kind of rune formula?!
Although reluctant to talk about this topic, Lone Tomb, hearing this, let out a low “Hmm.”
Even so, the sudden reveal by Rattlesnakes was enough to cause a commotion in the live audience, and the barrage in the live broadcast room scrolled rapidly.
At the same time, they inevitably received greetings from their opponents.
[D*mn it, Rattlesnakes actually bought the formula for spatial runes? They’re really rich!”]
[“D*mn, how did Rsttlesnakes buy the formula for spatial runes? They’re toxic!”]
Unable to endure, the victim in this case was undoubtedly Decorations. His giant gold magic puppet was confidently intercepting the two team’s efforts, but with this teleportation move, his rigorous defense became practically useless.
It inevitably reminds people of the fear dominated by a certain runemaster in the previous match.
The opponent suddenly pressed forward, undoubtedly causing a slight disarray in the Firepower guild’s formation.
The tense situation reached its peak, and just as they were about to engage in a direct confrontation, a light, airy whistle was heard. The army that had approached disappeared in an instant.
Upon landing, all members of Blood Roses and Rattlesnakes also felt a momentary flash before realizing that, as if time had reversed, they were back outside the puppet wall.
Players from both teams: “?”
Mad Stomp looked at Lone Tomb, “What’s going on? Is your spatial rune a counterfeit?”
“It shouldn’t be?” Lone Tomb blinked in confusion, suddenly recalling the faint whistle he heard earlier. When he looked around, he finally discovered the problem and couldn’t help but burst out with a low curse, “D*mn!”
In the same position where he had erected the rune field, a new field had unexpectedly overlapped.
But because the luster and attributes were the same, and it was almost seamlessly erected in close proximity to the original, it was almost impossible to discern without careful observation.
Lone Tomb quickly scanned the surroundings and indeed captured the infuriating figure not far away.
Jiang Shi didn’t hide or disguise himself, standing boldly at a safe distance, smiling as he started to taunt.
As for the target of the taunting, it was unexpectedly the Firepower guild at the back. “Brother Decor, everyone else has teamed up. Shouldn’t we consider forming an alliance too?”
At this point, who couldn’t guess whose masterful move the teleportation operation, resembling rewinding time, was?
For a moment, Tao Zi didn’t know whether to praise this divine-level operation or to marvel at Jiang Shi’s invitation that started with such a shocking proposal, “Does this mean that the Century Cup finals this year will witness the first-ever 2v2 showdown?”
On this matter, Decorations quickly replied on the field, “In the finals, let’s forget about forming alliances. The championship trophy needs to be earned by individual effort and should have a bit more value.”
This seemingly addressed Jiang Shi, but in reality, it subtly ridiculed the other two teams on the field.
The expressions of Blood Roses and Rattlesnakes were not particularly pleasant, but this clearly wasn’t within Jiang Shi’s sphere of concern. After hearing Decorations’ response, he felt quite regretful, “Are you sure you won’t consider it?”
“Uh-huh.” Decorations was very determined on this point, “Thanks for the kind offer, but let’s rely on our own abilities.”
“Okay, then.” Jiang Shi sighed softly, looking to Han Yuze beside him, “The Firepower don’t want to form an alliance.”
Han Yuzhe nodded, “Got it.”
Jiang Shi shook his head, “Then let’s not get involved.”
Han Yuze, “Not getting involved.”
Their conversation seemed somewhat indifferent to others.
Everyone thought that the Seven Silver Coins would directly withdraw from the melee here and take this opportunity to quickly find the location of the last boss. Unexpectedly, Jiang Shi suddenly played with the rune stones in his hand.
By the time the others reacted, the players from Blood Roses and Rattlesnakes had once again been enveloped by the raised domain.
Tao Zi instinctively took a sharp breath, “Hiss… the speed of setting up this formation!”
Brother Tiao, however, was concerned about another situation, “…So, ‘not getting involved’ means this kind of situation, huh?”
At this point, no one paid attention to the official commentator’s literary nonsense. The entire audience fell into a subtle silence.
As for the field…
The members of Blood Roses and Rattlesnakes watched as they returned to their positions outside the puppet wall, and the third-layer rune domains, neatly and almost perfectly overlapping, facing off with the Firepower, entered a stalemate.
Not getting involved means this kind of situation, where you send people back and forth? Do you think it’s a five-minute no-questions-asked return policy, just playing around with their transportation?
The players who had been teleported back and forth a few times were feeling quite fed up.
So, should they continue fighting?
In the midst of the silence, the commanders of the three parties finally gritted their teeth and made a decision: “Fight!”
The belated flames of war were finally officially ignited.
However, compared to before, everyone kept a little more vigilance, always guarding against the team lurking behind them.
Jiang Shi also watched the intense battlefield from a distance, seeming quite unhurried, “No choice, I can only do it myself.”
Han Yuze asked, “Are you ready to use it?”
Jiang Shi smiled silently, “It’s already the finals, it’s about time.”
The dialogue between the two entered the main perspective live room, leaving people puzzled. However, some sharp-eyed netizens discovered a clue: [“Look, look! The two rune stones in the hand of God Milk!”]
After such a reminder, others finally noticed that the two rune stones Jiang Shi was playing with were adorned with completely new patterns that had never been seen before.
Everyone’s faces showed confusion.
What does this mean?
It’s already the finals, and there are still new runes that haven’t been used!?!
are they the runestones that could damage not only the user but the teammates as well? or another new runestones?
