Chapter 142 - National Competition - Priest 2
There was a palpable silence in the arena. The faint breeze whispered across the tiny pieces of gravel.
Jiuzhou stood in the middle of the field, ordered the remaining spirit angel to fly a little further away from him, then stood there alone, and chanted quietly.
After casting a HOT (heal over time, continuous healing) on himself, he used another heal spell with a shorter cast time. With the Seal of Soul active, his healing moves were much more effective, and casting the spell twice was already enough to bring his health back to 80%.
"Jiuzhou is very calm," The commentator said, "Generally speaking, under such circumstances, many priests would first put a shield on themselves in advance. However, Jiuzhou hasn't done so. This is one of his combat habits. Jiuzhou prefers to keep the shield in reserve. When his opponent's combo reaches a certain point, he can use the shield to interrupt it."
"This is another detail that I'm not sure you've noticed. His spirit angel has flown off to a distance of about 7 meters, which is a very subtle distance. It can attack and defend in advance, remaining just outside of the 5-meter limit warning range. The sound from it won't affect Jiuzhou's ability to survey for stealth either."
For masters at Jiuzhou's level, it would become an advantage if they were able to detect a stealthed opponent even 0.05 seconds earlier.
Unfortunately, he was facing another master.
For Odin, as long as the opponent wasn't a ranger or sniper with stealth detection bonuses (in other words, without a system that helped them 'cheat'), there was absolutely no chance that his approach could be detected in advance!
The two players were very clear that Odin wouldn't wait for another of Jiuzhou's seals to cool down before coming in to fight. If he wanted to ambush, it had to be within 5 seconds!
After having cast two spells, Jiuzhou's inner countdown had already reached 'four'.
At this moment, a sudden aura of killing intent spread out behind him, Jiuzhou's pupils contracted abruptly, and he turned back to cast 'Condemnation'--
His Condemnation failed though as there was nothing behind him!
Just when he looked back, half of the remnants of a Flash appeared behind him. Odin's figure came out of its stealth effect, and a blade had already swept by close to his throat.
The system judged: Critical attack! Bleeding damage!
Jiuzhou hadn't been casting, so it hadn't triggered a silence effect.
However, this attack's goal hadn't been to land a silence effect. It had just been the starting move. When facing a mage profession, the short sword, Song of Triumph, didn't need to start a blade fight. It only needed to pursue bigger combos and become a bloody murder weapon!
In the time it had taken for Jiuzhou to turn around, Odin had already launched Shadow Dance.
"Adding onto the hit from the Flash, it's a five-hit combo!" As soon as the commentator had seen the figures, he could see that Jiuzhou's second Condemnation had failed to release once again.
Odin could judge that Jiuzhou was using Condemnation at the moment when Jiuzhou raised his wand. Then, within 0.5 seconds, before the spell was successfully released, he could activate Flash and move behind Jiuzhou so that the Condemnation failed!
In the blink of an eye, the number of combo hits rose up to 9. Jiuzhou immediately changed tactics after Condemnation had failed and opened up his shield.
