Chapter 1844 1844: Strange Maneuvering
Shock Shot!
A archer skill that can forcibly displace the target.
At this moment, Invisible Man finally understood why Yang Nuo advanced instead of retreating.
A significant part of an assassin's strength lies in stealth, and in a PvP scenario, if a fragile class like the archer cannot disrupt the opponent's stealth state, the chances of losing the match are as high as 80%. Shock Shot is the only skill the archer has that can forcibly displace the opponent and interrupt their stealth.
However, this skill is relatively slow to cast, which is why Yang Nuo charged forward, aiming to break the opponent's stealth status as quickly as possible.
"But do you think this will guarantee your victory? How naive!"
Invisible Man smiled slightly, drawing his dagger and activating his Sprint skill, creating an afterimage as he rushed toward Yang Nuo. He then quickly turned and stabbed at her.
In an assassin duel, stealth is the most crucial element, while for a archer, distance is paramount.
Sacrificing distance to interrupt an assassin's stealth is undoubtedly a mutually damaging tactic for a archer.
At this moment, it was akin to courting death.
After all, an assassin without stealth is also a melee class, and a archer is virtually doomed if the assassin gets up close. Engaging in close combat with an assassin would be akin to seeking one's own demise.
Invisible Man struck swiftly and accurately, and in an instant, his dagger pierced Yang Nuo.
However, at that moment, Yang Nuo's figure flickered as she used her Evade skill, dodging Invisible Man's attack and sidestepping to fire an arrow at him.
The two were now only about a meter apart, and Yang Nuo's shot was definitely accurate.
"Thud!"
A dull sound echoed.
The arrow directly pierced through Invisible Man's throat.
"???!"
Seeing this arrow, the audience was momentarily stunned.
In <<Rebirth>>, whether a skill or attack hits can be judged by sound and feel.
Yet, Yang Nuo's arrow did not sound like it hit the target.
"Bang!"
Just as everyone was puzzled, Invisible Man suddenly burst into a cloud of smoke.
At the same time, he reappeared behind Yang Nuo.
"It's a shadow clone! He's behind her!"
Seeing that Invisible Man had dodged Yang Nuo's shot, everyone from the Quan Zhen sect furrowed their brows.
Although Yang Nuo was particularly low-key and did not stir up trouble like others from Quan Zhen, everyone knew her skills were exceptional.
As a martial artist, Yang Nuo had no rivals in Quan Zhen except for Wang Yu; her strength was far beyond ordinary imagination.
Yet, the fact that this arrow had been evaded by Invisible Man, and that Yang Nuo's Evade skill was tricked out, was concerning.
The archer is a sustained damage dealer, and their skills are relatively weak. They only have this one displacement skill, and now, facing a highly mobile and lethal class like the assassin in close quarters, being without a displacement skill made things extremely tough.
Fearless and the others had initially thought Yang Nuo would be the first to secure a point, but unexpectedly, Invisible Man's strength was so formidable.
After all, he was a top-tier professional; his level was indeed not something ordinary people could compare to.
"Don't worry!" While everyone was worried for Yang Nuo, Wang Yu said calmly, "Whether she has her Evade skill or not doesn't make much difference; this is just the beginning."
"Haha! Beautiful lady, your Evade is gone, so just surrender!"
Using his shadow clone's short-distance teleportation, Invisible Man appeared behind Yang Nuo, then cackled as he gripped his dagger and lunged for a backstab.
Little did he know, at that moment, Yang Nuo pivoted her feet and twisted her body into a very strange position.
Invisible Man, dagger in hand, charged from behind Yang Nuo to the front.
The backstab missed!!
Seeing Yang Nuo's eerie evasion of the opponent's attack, the audience was slightly taken aback, while the professional players below displayed expressions of shock.
After all, amateurs watch the excitement, while professionals see the intricacies.
To the ordinary audience, it seemed Yang Nuo had simply dodged a skill; only true experts understood the high level of technique required to evade Invisible Man's recent backstab.
"What the hell! What skill is this? Do archers have skills like that?!"
Sacred Mountain from the Kyushu team, who was also an assassin, jumped up upon seeing Yang Nuo's skills.
Boundless Ocean turned dark and said, "What skill! This is clearly exceptional maneuvering!"
"Maneuvering?"
Upon hearing Boundless Ocean's words, Sacred Mountain's face darkened as well.
As the party involved, Invisible Man was experiencing a storm of emotions.
Using a displacement skill to dodge an attack is understandable; after all, this is a top-tier professional competition, and such maneuvers are basic operations for professional players. That's why Invisible Man had tricked Yang Nuo's Evade.
However, dodging an attack purely through maneuvering, especially from a top professional assassin's almost guaranteed backstab, was hard to believe.
After all, maneuvering isn't a skill and doesn't have system judgment; it requires the player to genuinely avoid the strike.
For someone to perfectly evade an attack in this situation... it seemed a bit absurd.
He got lucky! It had to be luck!
While he was surprised, Invisible Man was a well-known expert; his mindset and operations were top-notch.
The backstab missing, Invisible Man abruptly turned, canceling out the weightlessness of his missed attack, then kicked off the ground, dagger horizontal, aiming for Yang Nuo's throat.
A throat slash!
Facing the rushing invisible man, Yang Nuo remained calm. She twisted and turned her feet, spinning around in a circle, causing Invisible Man's attack to miss again.
This time, Invisible Man's mindset began to crumble.
The first dodge could be attributed to coincidence, but could the second also be explained away as mere luck? How high must her luck be?
As she evaded Invisible Man's attack, Yang Nuo raised her crossbow and fired three bolts at the back of his head.
Invisible Man quickly turned around, waving his dagger up and down, accurately deflecting Yang Nuo's three bolts aside.
At that moment, while Invisible Man was busy defending against the incoming arrows, Yang Nuo suddenly lunged forward, following the arrows straight to Invisible Man's front.
After missing the throat slash, Invisible Man was already in a state of panic, and now he was frantically trying to fend off the flying arrows. When he realized Yang Nuo had charged right in front of him, he was completely stunned.
Yang Nuo grabbed Invisible Man's shoulder with her left hand, pulled him down, and leaped, landing on his back.
To attract players, the game designed female characters to be as sexy as possible, and especially for archers, they all had long legs.
"What the hell! So envious!"
Seeing Yang Nuo wrap her snow-white thighs around Invisible Man's neck, the audience couldn't help but whistle, unabashedly expressing their envy for Invisible Man.
