Chapter 81

Chapter 81 - Provincial Competition - Assassin 3

This younger cousin of Cardinal's would always burst out crying when things didn't go his way.

The master assassin didn't feel any fear over this, nor did he find it useful, except for one thing...

At the beginning of the next match, Tyron looked unkindly at this 'big cousin' and couldn't keep himself from imagining: Would Cardinal look like his younger cousin if he suddenly burst out crying with a wail, too?

On the other side, Cardinal suddenly shivered.

.

The second match's randomized map was: Angelic Castle.

This map was basically an abandoned classical castle that was about six stories high, but the upper levels had mostly collapsed and only the structural frame was left. The first and second levels were relatively intact, and battles would generally take place there.

Seeing this, the commentator spoke up, "This is a very good map for assassins, particularly assassins who are good at ambushes. The terrain is complex, there are many obstacles, and more importantly, there are many places with a height advantage."

"For ambushing assassins, height advantages are their lifeline--in the next match, it's likely that conflict will break out while they both try to seize the commanding height."

The female commentator said, "Simply put, in this match, the two players want to compete to see who is on top and who is below..."

Male commentator: "... I somehow feel like there's something wrong with your words?"

Anchor: "Salacious female anchor 2333333!"

"It's all in the eye of the beholder, tsk tsk!"

.

At the end of the day, the male commentator was an old hand in the e-sports circle, and his experience was really there.

When this map was drawn, Cardinal's first thought was: I have to be on top!

So, when the countdown ended, he went invisible as fast as he could, then immediately went to find a way to climb up to the top of the castle.

As an experienced assassin, his items bag was always stocked with climbing hooks.

In contrast, the master assassin didn't have any climbing props-- he only needed his two weapons, steel wires, and darts.

Therefore, after entering the arena, Tyron first observed the environment before entering stealth like Cardinal and heading for the commanding heights.

Surprisingly, Tyron wasn't slow at all despite not having any assistance from climbing props. When they encountered the same seemingly precarious climbing points, Cardinal would sometimes need the help of the ropes while Tyron was nimble and jumped over quickly.

The two of them were aiming for the same commanding point, one climbing in front with the other behind; Cardinal's progress was a little faster.

Female commentator: "Lord Four has another characteristic that people can't understand--why is he always so light on his feet? It's the same during aerial combat and also when he's climbing. There's always the feeling that he's floating..."

The male commentator thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps he's had special training. Elves, or some even rarer lineages with wings like goblins, devils, angels, and so on can be chosen in some games. Getting used to the characters with such special lineages and going through targeted training is helpful in improving players' flexibility and agility."
