Boom!
The missiles flew out from the chamber and towards Dancing Rain, who was on top of the watchtower.
Fighting with the lower ground was very difficult, and many skills couldnât even be used. For example, Heat-Seeking Missiles would never be able to get so high and Stingers couldnât be launched so far either, otherwise these AoE attacks would easily send Dancing Rain toppling from her perch.
Yang Haoxuan, with the lower ground, was at a disadvantage. However, right now, his helplessness from before had been completely swept away, his attacks determined and confident, his aim precise. Three Anti-Tank Missiles were shot towards Dancing Rainâs landing point.
Boom boom boom!
The three missiles exploded on the side of the watchtower just as Dancing Rain was landing. Dancing Rain, still airborne, couldnât dodge so far. The force from the three consecutive explosions threw Dancing Rain even higher. Su Mucheng hurriedly had Dancing Rain carefully bring her cannon muzzle around. She had to adjust Dancing Rain so that she could still remain on the watchtower when she landed.
As expected of Su Mucheng!
Yang Haoxuan fell into awe at Su Muchengâs mechanical skill, but he didnât plan on just admiring it. Translucent took out a gatling gun with a swish to follow up with another attack to the airborne Dancing Rain and send her completely off the watchtower. Currently, her Rotor Wingâs wason cooldown, so there was no way she could fly back up.
Ratatatatatatata....
The sound of bullets came rapidly, the frequency was so high that it was a little unbelievable... The rpm of this skill depended on equipment stats, not mechanics. Such high rpm meant that this couldnât be a skill from Translucent.
Tatatatata!
The bullets formed a line, shooting out from under the watchtower. On the other end of the line was Translucentâs left hand, which was holding his gun.
Thud thud thud!
With sound of bullets hitting flesh, blood splashed everywhere. Translucentâs left hand wasnât really blasted into smithereens, but it still couldnât take the momentum. Immediately, the bullets he was shooting into the air went off target.
"Damnit!" Li Xuan was depressed, cursing.
Yang Haoxuan had already done very well. His amazing performance had almost succeeded in throwing Dancing Rain off from the watchtower, yet this time, it was Li Xuan and co who failed. In this most crucial time, they didnât give Yang Haoxuan the support he needed, allowing Lord Grim to destroy Translucentâs offensive, with the exact same skill.
There was only one chance!
Under Su Muchengâs precise manipulation, Dancing Rain landed accurately back onto the watchtower.
"You should never neglect my presence!" Ye Xiu pointed out methodically but sarcastically. It was clear that the opening Void had given him this time was far too big.
Yes, too big.
Voidâs members were so focused on the trouble Su Mucheng was giving them that they had forgotten Su Mucheng was always only ever a supporting character, and the person she was supporting was the true core of the team.
Ye Xiiu...
They had somehow forgotten Ye Xiu and given the opponentâs core player such a large opening.
This mistake meant that Void had to suffer the terrible consequences. Dancing Rain, back on the watchtower, immediately threw out a Stinger. The stingers rained down like flower petals thrown by a goddess, and then Gatling Gun swept over them wildly, creating small pits in the ground. Yang Haoxuanâs Translucent dodged around with his heavy cannon, flowers of blood occasionally blooming on on his body.
Not grasping the chance meant an even worse blow.
Under Dancing Rainâs cover, Happy focused everything onto offense. Tang Rouâs Soft Mist broke right through the Ghost Duoâs "Slash and Boundary", beginning a direct conversation with Crying Devil. Wu Yuceâs Carved Ghost wanted to come to the otherâs support, but Crying Devil suddenly vanished from sight, Lord Grim clocking the way with his umbrella.
Ge Caijie suddenly felt that this was a good chance, hurling a Sealing Talisman towards the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. However, that was when he saw a message pop up in the chat: "Boss, careful!". A Brick smacked the back of his head and Blue Exorcist was stunned.
At the same time, Li Xunâs Ghost Lantern was blown flying by a Flash Burst. Li Xun had wanted to sneak attack Boundless Sea, but Fang Rui was the master of this kind of dirty play. Noticing Li Xunâs intentions, Fang Rui had purposefully given the other an opening. Li Xunâs Ghost Lantern had came over all delighted, but went back, ridden with internal injuries.
Voidâs formation had been completely ruined, and the result was clear. Happy took advantage of the chaos Void had been thrown into, switching targets several times, and giving each member of Void a warm greeting.
This made Void depressed.
Happy, with the absolute advantage, didnât rush and hurry to get rid of a single opponent first, but open fired on all of Void.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If they focused their attacks and wiped out one of Voidâs members, then their healer would be forced to switch in. They wouldnât know what would happen in that short period of 4v5, but so long as they endured until their healer came, then theyâd fight a 5v5 with a healer and have a chance to turn things around, even if they might be one character short.
But now, Happy launching an attack on everyone in Voidâs team cruelly deprived them of this unknown chance.
Void knew that they couldnât let Happy chip away at them like this, but apart from Yang Haoxuanâs Translucent, none of the others had much of a chance to escape. Yang Haoxuan was trying to deal with Dancing Rainâs supporting fire from above. After Wu Yuce had yelled at him, he had found his courage and was performing exceptionally well. They really couldnât have him leave to switch out with the healer.
They had to risk it!
That was when Li Xun suddenly activated Life-Risking Strike.
With how much of a mess Void was right now, there was no way to give him support and increase his chances of success. Under these circumstances, Li Xun still used this skill. Everyone immediately realized what he was doing.
He was sacrificing himself. If he managed to hit, then that would be amazing for their team, if he didnât, then Ghost Lantern, with only a sliver of life left, would soon make a noble sacrifice and their healer would be switched in.
As for ignoring Ghost Lantern and purposefully keeping him alive? That wasnât possible. If they kept a character they didnât dare get close to alive, then that would be equal to giving themselves a huge handicap. If Happy did decide to do that, then that would be like deciding to kill their own characters.
The situation ended up going in the most predictable direction.
Li Xunâs Life-Risking Strike didnât hit and Ghost Lantern was immediately killed. Voidâs healer, Tang Lishengiâs Paladin, Spirit Guardian, was switched in from the closest support zone, hurrying over.
However, in this short time, Happy switched tactics. They began to focus all their attacks onto one person. Could they manage to wipe out one of Voidâs players before their healer arrived?
This became the deciding factor, and everyone watched with wide eyes.
Voidâs core Ghostblade Duo werenât very tanky. Ghostblades utilized the power of the Ghost God to fight, finding their strengths in Spirit and Intelligence, then Strength, then Vitality. Then, their armor was cloth armor. Against physical damage, Ghostblades werenât much better than Elementalists and others.
At the same time, the Ghost Duoâs Wu Yuce was a very headstrong and forceful fighter. In this moment, his playstyle had been grasped by Happy, and they immediately caught Carved Ghost and began to beat the other down.
Void was practically going crazy, trying to save him, however, Happy clearly didnât plan on switching tactics now. In the end Carved Ghost was finally caught by Steamed Bun Invasionâs Strangle and thrown against the wall of the watchtower, allowing Happy to put everything into destroying him. During their offensive, Ye Xiuâs Lord Grimâs presence once again shone through. Though it might be weak, it was better than nothing. The unspecialized Lord Grim was able to provide an important healing role. Void had realized that upon seeing Happyâs no-healer arrangement.
They had realized, but they couldnât do anything against it. It wasnât like they could change Lord Grimâs skill build.
In crucial moments, the few tricks Lord Grim had was enough to help Happy stabilize the situation. Wu Yuceâs Carved Ghost eventually fell against the wall.Tang Lishengâs Spirit Guardian ended up being just one step too late.
6v4, currently a 5v4 on the field.
Void didnât want to give up though. Spirit Guardian healed the remaining three characters like crazy. Void was planning to make a final charge.
And then, Happy dispersed.
Yes, even Dancing Rain, on the watchtower, jumped down of her own volition, using her cannon to adjust her position in the air, gliding down smoothly.
Happy, who had the advantage, could retreat with ease, and at the drop of a hat.
Speaking of which, wasnât the direction they were retreating in the direction of the support zone on that end?
Seeing Voidâs healer arrive, Happy decided to not rush things and ran off to get their healer on the field, too. They really werenât planning on giving Void a single chance.
At the start, Happy had thrown their healer away to get to the best positions quicker, very brave, very crazy.
Yet, after getting the absolute advantage, Happy became cautious again. They, who were two people ahead of Void, went back to get their own healer.
Void couldnât stop the retreating Happy, chasing after them as the shadow of defeat grew within their hearts.
When Happy got to the support zone, Steamed Bun Invasion switched out for Little Cold Hands. Then, when they turned back to continue, Voidâs spirit had pretty much died. The battle ended quickly.
10 to 0!!!
The audience erupted.
Another 10 to 0. Happy really did it. After completing a 10 to 0 against Misty Rain, this time, they got another 10 to 0 against Void. Who would doubt Happyâs strength now? If they did, they were probably blind! 10 to 0 after 10 to 0 couldnât be luck speaking!
The Happy supporters in the venue cheered wildly, raising an open-palm hand into the air, waving.
Five!
Their opened palms represented the number "five".
Five times!
This was the number of 10 to 0s that Happy had achieved so far. Such a flawless record was something that many powerhouses couldnât boast having. Currently, Happy was the only one, right?
Just as Happyâs fans were excitedly confirming this with each other, a shocking piece of news came from another finished battlefield. Team Samsara, having also achieved a flawless victory against Team Heavenly Swords, had obtained their fifth 10 to 0 of the season as well.
With the thought that one of these 10 to 0s were won from Happy, everyone immediately felt that this was exceptionally annoying.
Their archenemy! Many people had this thought.
