MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 1815 1815: Whac-A-Mole

Here we can see the difference between an assassin and a tank.

Although Darknorth Fisher's damage is much higher than February Frost's, both of them lose about one-tenth of their health bars when they strike each other on the back of the head…

There's no other way; the tank class has high durability and long health bars, so thousands of damage points don't mean much to February Frost.

The difference is that when Darknorth Fisher stabs February Frost, she remains completely unmoved. However, when February Frost slams her shield onto Darknorth Fisher's head, he is directly knocked back and stunned.

"Ha!"

Darknorth Fisher reacts quickly and immediately realizes the gap between him and February Frost after just one round of combat. He shakes his arms to dispel the stun effect and is about to enter stealth.

However, at that moment, February Frost charges forward, crashing solidly into Darknorth Fisher.

"Bang…"

Darknorth Fisher had only entered stealth halfway when he was forcibly interrupted and pushed to the edge of the arena by the collision.

"It's over, he's been pushed into the corner!"

Seeing Darknorth Fisher pushed to the edge of the arena by February Frost, Jing Lei exclaimed excitedly.

Any player who frequently engages in arena PvP knows that the corner is basically a no-go zone for the competitors.

Especially for agile classes like assassins, once one side is forced into the corner, they lose their speed advantage and their mobility is stripped away, leaving them with no escape and only the option to brace for impact.

Moreover, the game mechanics dictate that walls have collision effects, so classes like Guardians can use the terrain to deal additional damage when pushing opponents into corners.

For instance, when February Frost pushes Darknorth Fisher into the corner, the impact slams him against the edge of the arena, adding extra damage and wall collision effects. This extends the effectiveness of February Frost's skills, allowing her to chain the next skill and continuously control the target in the corner.

Sure enough, the previous battle was all within February Frost's calculations. After pushing Darknorth Fisher into the corner, she lunges forward, swinging her shield at him.

"Duang!"

Before Darknorth Fisher could hit the ground after colliding with the arena's edge, he was struck in the waist by February Frost's flying shield, slamming him against the wall and then heavily onto the ground.

Even if February Frost's attacks are relatively low, against a fragile class like an assassin, the effect is quite significant. After this series of skills, Darknorth Fisher's health bar was reduced by half.

Taking advantage of the brief window after the control skill, February Frost stepped heavily next to Darknorth Fisher. Not waiting for him to get up, she stomped down onto his chest with one foot, grabbed her heavy shield with both hands, and with all her strength, brought it crashing down onto Darknorth Fisher's head.

"I won!"

Seeing Darknorth Fisher pinned beneath February Frost's foot, the players from the Arirang team clenched their fists in excitement.

In comparison, the assassin's abilities are practically negligible in front of a tank. Once February Frost stomped down, there was no way Darknorth Fisher could get up, and his fate was to be hammered to death by February Frost.

"Duang!"

The shield came crashing down heavily on the spot where Darknorth Fisher's head was, and just when everyone thought he was about to be crushed, February Frost suddenly felt her foot empty beneath her.

"????"

February Frost quickly looked down and saw that Darknorth Fisher was no longer under her feet.

At the same time, Darknorth Fisher emerged halfway from underground, sweating nervously on his forehead.

Earth Escape Technique!!

"You despicable guy!"

Seeing that Darknorth Fisher had such a shameless skill, February Frost turned around and swung her shield down at him again.

"Hehe!"

Darknorth Fisher remained calm, shrinking down like a diving fish, disappearing without a trace, and soon popped up not far from February Frost, making a face at her in provocation.

Originally, February Frost thought Darknorth Fisher was definitely doomed, but after escaping twice, her anger flared up when she saw him making faces at her. She angrily raised her shield and chased after him.

Seeing this, Darknorth Fisher once again burrowed underground, reappearing right in front of February Frost.

The two chased and dodged each other, leaving the audience below in a state of astonishment.

"This… why does this scene seem so familiar?"

"Isn't it familiar? It's Whac-A-Mole, something we all played as kids…"

Indeed, in this groundbreaking large-scale fantasy epic action RPG online game, the match had turned into a 4D version of Whac-A-Mole.

The audience had begun to feel the game designers' hearts crying out in despair.

From a class perspective, Guardians have some advantages over assassins, but that's only in outdoor PvP situations.

After all, in leveling zones, the one who survives to the end has the right to loot the bosses, and those who run away first lose.

But in the arena, it's all about determining skill and survival, making the Guardian's advantage over the assassin minimal.

Although Guardians are tough and have many control skills, they are known for their short legs. If an assassin doesn't engage the Guardian and instead keeps running around in circles, the Guardian can only watch helplessly.

Based on the earlier performances of the Crowd of Misfits team, no one was surprised by Darknorth Fisher's antics.

Thus, the audience watched for nearly half an hour of this real-life Whac-A-Mole, and the match finally concluded.

The result was a draw; neither side scored.

"Awesome, awesome! Old Fish played really well!"

As Darknorth Fisher stepped off the stage, he was surrounded by the True Believers team, all of them expressing their joy and praising his clever play that preserved their advantage.

"Not at all! I'm far from being as good as Boss Fearless", Darknorth Fisher humbly waved his hand, feeling only regret for not being able to eliminate February Frost.

"Shh…"

Seeing the Crowd of Misfits team take pride in their behavior, the players in the audience began to boo.

What is this nonsense? Everyone spent so much money on tickets to watch the match, hoping to see skilled players perform flashy and entertaining maneuvers and learn some tips, only to end up watching a series of blunders. Aside from the second match's counter-kill, there hadn't been a single proper match.

The audience's feelings at this point are certainly understandable.
