Chapter 1857 1857: The Rhythm is Disrupted
The reason why a top player is called a top player is that not only do they have strong skills, but they also possess a powerful ability to adapt in real-time. Even when at a disadvantage, they can calmly analyze the strengths and weaknesses between themselves and their opponent, ultimately finding a way to respond.
Wolf, as a top expert, is no exception.
Although he had no room to fight back under the continuous combo of Boson, Wolf did not show a hint of panic.
In <<Rebirth>>, every class receives a dispel skill that can remove control effects after reaching level 40, and Warriors are no exception.
However, the dispel skill only has an instantaneous effect, so it must be used at the right moment; otherwise, it would be wasted.
If Wolf were merely stunned, he could have used the dispel skill to break free and counterattack. However, Boson was aware of this and initiated an unending combo the moment he controlled Wolf. In such a situation, even if Wolf used the dispel skill, he would still be controlled by Boson's subsequent attacks.
Of course, if Wolf were to be taken down like that, he wouldn't be a top expert.
Just as Boson finished his combo, there was a brief moment when he lost control due to a normal attack, and Wolf let out a roar. A green light enveloped him as he activated the Warrior's dispel skill, instantly removing the control effects. Wolf, who had been airborne and uncontrollable, twisted his body to regain balance and landed steadily on the ground.
"Trying to break free? That seems a bit forced."
Upon seeing this scene, the audience couldn't help but clench their fists.
It is well-known that using a dispel skill while being comboed often yields minimal effect. Who would have thought that a top expert could forcibly break free under such circumstances? Had he perhaps lost his rhythm?
Boson had long been on guard against Wolf's dispel skill. Seeing Wolf activate the dispel, he swiftly redirected his sword and lunged at him.
Unexpectedly, Wolf, who was in mid-air, horizontally positioned his sword in front of him.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out as Wolf's sword blocked Boson's thrust.
"Huh?!"
Seeing his thrust blocked by Wolf, Boson was momentarily stunned.
Wolf did not possess flying skills, and players in a state of falling must do everything they can to control their bodies and adjust their balance. Yet Wolf managed to accurately block the attack, which was truly astonishing.
"Oh my?"
Not only was Boson surprised, but even Wang Yu, watching from below, felt a spark of realization.
In the state of free fall, Wang Yu believed he could perform such an accurate block, but his skills were honed over more than twenty years of martial arts training. Wolf was merely a professional player, and the game <<Rebirth>> had only been live for a year. The fact that he could achieve such body control was indeed remarkable.
Of course, even though Boson's strike failed to hit Wolf, Wolf was now drenched in cold sweat.
That was close! If it weren't for my forced block skill, I would have been controlled by that thrust.
As the saying goes, power comes from the ground. Players have no resistance while in mid-air. At that moment, Wolf had not yet landed, and being struck by Boson sent him flying backward.
In mid-air, Wolf finally regained balance and landed steadily on the ground.
"Thud!"
However, just as Wolf touched down, he suddenly heard an extremely faint sound of footsteps behind him. At the same time, Boson, like a phantom, used his three-stage strike to appear behind Wolf and swung his great sword downwards.
In a split second, Wolf quickly pulled his weapon back and executed a "Sima Qin's Back Sword" maneuver.
"Clang!"
Boson's great sword was once again blocked by Wolf.
Simultaneously, Wolf darted forward, rolling to dissipate most of the impact and using Boson's attack momentum to create some distance between them.
At that moment, Boson's charge skill had also finished its cooldown. He lowered his head and charged forward in one fluid motion, aiming to slam into Wolf.
Wolf turned around, each hand holding the ends of his long sword, and pushed forward.
"Duang!"
A loud crash echoed as Boson collided headfirst into Wolf's sword. The powerful force sent Wolf stumbling back several steps before he steadied himself, but a smile appeared on Wolf's face as he said, "Your skill rhythm has been disrupted, hasn't it?"
"!!"
Upon hearing Wolf's words, Boson's pupils constricted, and his heart skipped a beat.
Having just finished a series of powerful moves, most of Boson's output skills had entered cooldown. To prevent Wolf from regaining control, Boson had just used his freshly cooled thrust strike and three-stage slash.
However, the thrust strike was meant to follow up on a charge combo, and now both of Boson's mobility skills were in cooldown. Although his charge had landed solidly against Wolf, due to the disruption in rhythm caused by Wolf, Boson no longer had the ability to continue his combo.
"You are the first to ever use my style to bring me to this point; as an amateur, you are already quite outstanding."
Wolf praised Boson's move, then leaned forward and said, "But now, it's my turn to teach you what it truly means to be a Warrior."
As he spoke, Wolf kicked off the ground and charged toward Boson.
At this moment, the two were merely two to three meters apart. Boson had just used his charge skill and was still in the skill's recovery state, making it impossible for him to dodge Wolf's attack.
"Duang!"
With a loud crash, Boson was sent flying by Wolf's charge.
Almost simultaneously, Wolf executed a thrust strike and closed the distance to Boson.
Rising Dragon Slash, airborne!
Landing, Mountain Break, second stage airborne!
Breaking Army Rising Dragon Slash! Third stage knock-up!
Mighty Dragon Slash! Aerial pursuit!
...
As one of the strongest in the Warrior class, Wolf had deeply immersed himself in the profession, and his control over skill combos had reached an effortless and invincible level.
His combo skills were far more experienced and refined than Boson's.
From the skill perspective, Wolf's combo was no different from Boson's, but to anyone watching, Wolf's combo appeared to flow much more naturally, like water.
The transitions between skills in Wolf's hands exhibited no clumsiness or flaws, achieving the perfect realm all Warriors dream of.
Boson's strength was already vastly inferior to Wolf's, and although he still had his dispel skill, before he could find an opening, he was turned into a streak of white light by Wolf's relentless combo.
In the second round, the Freedom Team emerged victorious, with Wolf showcasing the true strength of a top expert as he single-handedly took on two opponents.
