Chapter 4 - A New Victory

“Our player number 419 is already in critical danger—”

As soon as the commentator’s voice fell, Tyron performed a roll on the spot and landed in a standard sprinting start-up position, dashing forward and bypassing the arcane missiles that were still in flight. In an instant, he had already arrived in front of his opponent.


Commentator: “Oh, my god! What kind of speed burst is this! Is he tied to a rocket launcher?!”

When Tyron and his opponent were still one meter apart, the mage had already stopped casting Arcane Storm and promptly used Flicker (a short distance teleportation spell). His figure instantly reappeared fifteen meters away.

“Beautiful!” The commentator shouted, “What kind of awareness is this! Basically when the assassin put on his burst of speed, the mage was already preparing to use Flicker! He managed to get away within a single second, this is simply miraculous—“

The commentator hadn’t even finished speaking, but Tyron had not paused at all. He followed up with a Shadow Leap and immediately appeared in the mage’s shadow.

The commentator disregarded the pain in his face and hurried on to say, “0.5 seconds! He caught up in just 0.5 seconds! The assassin’s reaction was actually even faster! This is really an amazing scene!”

.

After Tyron appeared behind the mage, he first knocked him in the back of his head, sending him into a brief <stun>. Then, taking advantage of the <stun>, the dagger, Song of Triumph, in his right hand slashed across his throat, while the dagger in his left, Deep Silence, stabbed into his back.

When the mage recovered from <stun> 1.5 seconds later, his body had two new status effects: <silence> (unable to cast) and <bleed> (continuous loss of HP).

Commentator: “What an unparalleled hand speed and hit rate! The assassin used three skills in succession within 1.5 seconds. Oh my god! That was only a 0.5 second global cooldown between each skill... Is he cheating?”

.

Tyron wasn’t cheating. He wasn’t using skills – it was pure technique.

The skills released through the system had a global shared cooldown period of at least 1 second; but because the techniques he executed with his hands were judged as being within the range of an ordinary attack, there was no cooldown.


However, the effect of these techniques came from the experience that Tyron gained over countless battles, and there would never be the tiniest flaw.

The mage was alarmed to discover that his HP bar had already dropped to red (below 30% health).

Commentator: “Red blood! Victory or defeat is imminent! The mage decisively used his last life-saving skill Alpha Substitute, immediately escaping from all negative effects and fleeing 15 meters away. Only a substitute scarecrow was left behind in the spot where he had been.

In the next moment, the substitute scarecrow exploded!

“The scarecrow exploded! It’s a rare counterattack spell!” The commentator shouted excitedly, “The assassin is no longer at full health! He’s finally no longer at full health, everyone!”
