Chapter 1896 1896: Playing with Special Effects in the Mage Class

At this moment, Jeff's situation was just as Spring Halo had described in the previous match: "Although I can't defeat you, you can't hit me either. As long as I can achieve a draw, I consider this round a win."

One might say that one shouldn't be too morally deficient, as karma comes swiftly.

Wang Yu's situation was different from that of the Crowd of Misfits team and Rockabye's Holy Hall team.

While Rockabye and Spring Halo ended in a draw, the Holy Hall team still had other skilled players to back them up. However, the Crowd of Misfits team only had three capable players, and after finally getting matched with Wang Yu, he was forced to a draw, which was akin to wasting a trump card on a three.

The frustration of the Crowd of Misfits team was understandable.

"Throw?"

After confirming that Wang Yu was thrown to the edge of the map, a scheming smile crept onto Jeff's face as he calmly looked around. He typed a Chinese character into the public screen.

"NO!"

Seeing the message on the public screen, Wang Yu firmly rejected the idea of surrendering.

What a joke! Wang Yu was a generation martial arts master, invincible in his lifetime, and had never backed down even in front of god-level BOSSes. Jeff's trickery to make Wang Yu surrender was nothing but a pipe dream.

"Draw?"

Of course, Jeff knew that Wang Yu wouldn't surrender. Seeing Wang Yu refuse, he sent another message.

Upon reading Jeff's second message, Wang Yu hesitated.

He understood his current situation; not only was it impossible to find anyone in this vast forest, but he even didn't know where he was. If this dragged on, it would only end in a draw anyway.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Yu sighed and replied, "yes!"

"Hehe!"

Jeff smiled slightly and sent a request for a draw.

After Wang Yu clicked confirm, the system announced that the fifth round ended in a draw.

The Holy Hall team had one win, two losses, and two draws, leaving only one spot in the second match.

Meanwhile, the Crowd of Misfits team still had two spots available.

However, from the remaining players on the field, the Holy Hall team still had a considerable advantage.

After all, the overall skill level of the Crowd of Misfits players was much lower than that of the Holy Hall team. Given the quality of the Holy Hall team's experts, whether the Crowd of Misfits team could win the next few matches would depend entirely on luck.

...

As it turned out, the Holy Hall team's luck was indeed not that great.

After five seconds of shimmering light, it finally landed on a frail player dressed in a white priest robe.

"Oh my God! What did we do wrong?"

Seeing that their side had been selected, Rockabye was on the verge of tears.

The Heart of the Holy Hall, one of the two main roles of the Holy Hall team! Profession... Bishop.

It was one thing for their opponent in the last round to randomly match with an abnormal player like Wang Yu, but this time they randomly got a priest on their side.

From the perspective of player professions, the Heart of the Holy Hall was definitely a top-tier expert; calling him the number one priest in the world wouldn't be an exaggeration.

However, no matter how strong a priest is, he is still a priest...

An auxiliary role, with virtually no damage output; the only explosive means of attack is self-detonation.

Moreover, the Heart of the Holy Hall was different from Fearless; he was a proper support character who understood his responsibilities. His skill tree was entirely composed of buff and healing skills, making him a solid great priest—not like the Crowd of Misfits, who had a bunch of support characters with a ton of offensive skills; what on earth was that?

On the Crowd of Misfits team, there was an ugly character in a black robe illuminated by the light, holding a flashy, ostentatious red staff.

Not only was he ugly, but he was also pretentious. This was none other than Li Ming Du, the Grand Mage of the Quan Zhen Sect. Of course, the title of Grand Mage was self-proclaimed by Ming Du; anyway, there were no other mages in the Quan Zhen Sect's combat hierarchy, and everyone was too lazy to refute him.

As the saying goes, each version brings forth a new god, and every version has its own mage. Mages, as the favored profession in the game, are undoubtedly the strongest in terms of damage output, known as head-hunting machines.

Whether in PVP or PVE, they are an undeniably strong and frustrating profession.

Among all professions, output roles are the players' favorites.

Comparatively, the audience for priests is nowhere close to that of mages...

Of course, this doesn't mean that players dislike priests; it's just that they usually prefer to have someone else play the priest to support their mage.

When comparing the lowest output priest to the strongest output mage, the difference in strength is obvious.

However, the Heart of the Holy Hall was also a top-tier expert, with the pride of a skilled player. He knew the two professions were vastly different but still resolutely appeared on the battlefield.

"Hehe!"

The Heart of the Holy Hall glanced at the nonchalant Ming Du. He subconsciously adjusted his glasses as he placed his fingers on the bridge of his nose, squinting his eyes and revealing a friendly smile.

"…"

Seeing the Heart of the Holy Hall's seemingly friendly smile made Ming Du's heart skip a beat.

This seemingly amicable smile from the Heart of the Holy Hall reminded Ming Du of another priest, causing him to instinctively focus his attention on his opponent and decide to take the initiative.

As the countdown for the match ended, Ming Du raised his staff, and a lightning bolt, as thick as a barrel, came crashing down from the sky, striking directly at the Heart of the Holy Hall.

Compared to the blood-pumping strength-oriented professions, the combat style of mage players was evidently much more sophisticated. While other professions were still engaging in melee with knives, magical classes had already started with special effects.

Absolute output was Ming Du's favorite—simple, brutal, and directly aligned with his personality of resorting to force when things didn't go his way.

In terms of mechanics, Ming Du was not weak, but he couldn't compare to top-tier experts. However, in terms of attributes, particularly spell power and spell amplification, Ming Du dared to say that if he wasn't first, then no one else would dare claim to be.

This Thunderbolt was Ming Du's strongest single-target output skill. When this lightning struck, it would not only devastate a cloth-armored and fragile priest profession but could even seriously injure a tank Warrior with tough skin and flesh.

However, in the face of Ming Du's attack, the Heart of the Holy Hall showed no intention of dodging or even blocking; he boldly met the attack head-on.

"What the heck! So bold?"

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the Thunderbolt struck solidly on the Heart of the Holy Hall's head under Ming Du's astonished gaze.

At the same time, a burst of holy light erupted from the Heart of the Holy Hall.

Holy Light Shield!

As expected of a priest profession, having invincibility in hand gave him confidence.

Mage classes are all about flashy effects, especially lightning mages and light priests; the competition is all about who shines brighter.

The radiance of the Thunderbolt collided with the brilliance of the Holy Light Shield, resulting in an even more dazzling burst of light.

Both Ming Du on the battlefield and the audience outside instinctively closed their eyes.

At that moment, the Heart of the Holy Hall, at the source of the light, curled the corner of his mouth, revealing an imperceptible smile in the blinding light.

Simultaneously, he raised his staff, sending a weak flickering flame floating towards Ming Du.
