Chapter 1897 1897: The Darkening of the Priest Class

Holy Flame!

The priest's silence skill is a natural enemy to magic classes.

After all, mages are very reliant on their skills; once they can't use them, they lose 90% of their combat power and are forced to engage in close combat with their opponents.

Though this skill has a long cast time, a short casting range, and is quite obvious during the incantation, it is an extremely rare locking skill in <<Rebirth>>. Once released, no amount of evasion can help you dodge it.

As a top-tier support character, the Heart of the Holy Hall may not excel at PvP compared to other teammates, but when compared to other players, he is undoubtedly a master.

Under the cover of spell effects, he quietly cast Holy Flame at Ming Du.

By the time Ming Du noticed the magic, it was already too late to evade.

"Crack…"

The Holy Flame landed on Ming Du, producing a faint sound of impact, while a series of ellipses appeared over his head.

"Silence!"

"Heh heh!"

Seeing this, the Heart of the Holy Hall smirked slightly and quickly rushed towards Ming Du.

As a magic class, the priest's movement speed growth is the same as that of the mage.

A professional PvP expert must allocate points into agility.

The Heart of the Holy Hall is a professional priest in a top-tier team configuration, so he naturally didn't neglect agility.

On the other hand, Ming Du, coming from a non-mainstream background, is an extremist in the game, allocating all his points into intelligence and equipping gear with intelligence attributes, focusing solely on one belief—output.

At this moment, with no skills available, Ming Du was certainly no match for the Heart of the Holy Hall when it came to fleeing.

Before long, the Heart of the Holy Hall reached Ming Du, clasped his hands together, and burst forth with dazzling holy light.

Martyrdom!

This skill has an effect similar to that of a Guardian's taunt, but the difference is that Martyrdom can draw all attacks onto oneself, while taunt only forces the target to attack physically.

However, Ming Du was silenced and couldn't cast any skills, so he could only instinctively swing his staff at the Heart of the Holy Hall.

At the very moment Ming Du's staff struck him, the Heart of the Holy Hall stepped forward, tightly grasping Ming Du's staff, and then a faint glow emanated from the Heart of the Holy Hall.

"Damn!!"

Seeing the glow surrounding the Heart of the Holy Hall, Ming Du broke into a cold sweat.

The members of the Crowd of Misfits team all turned their heads, looking at Fearless with disdain.

In this situation, under Fearless's influence, all priests had started using self-destruct techniques, even top experts like the Heart of the Holy Hall had put aside their dignity to employ such a dirty tactic.

…

Unlike Fearless's unorthodox approach, the Heart of the Holy Hall is a benchmark in the industry and a faith for all priests.

If he plays this way, one can only imagine what the priest class system in <<Rebirth>> will look like in the future.

Just think about it: you're outside the city fighting a boss and singing, and suddenly a priest comes over and self-destructs on you; how disgusting would that be?

The priest is originally a sacred class focused on saving and healing, and now, after this competition, the priest class will likely be completely darkened, becoming a despised cult.

"You, you!"

The members of the Crowd of Misfits team pointed at Fearless and sighed, "You're really causing trouble."

"Why should I care?!" Fearless replied unconcernedly, "Self-destruct techniques are originally imported… foreigners are much more professional than us; there aren't any radical guys like this in our country."

"Alright, stop talking!"

At that moment, Wang Yu quickly covered Fearless's mouth, feeling apprehensive, and said, "If you keep this up, this book will get banned. Just shut up for a bit."

…

"Boom!"

Just as everyone was chatting, the Heart of the Holy Hall exploded, radiant holy light dazzlingly shining, and the Heart of the Holy Hall revealed a victorious smile.

Clearly, the Heart of the Holy Hall had much more health than Ming Du. With this self-destruct, Ming Du would undoubtedly be blown to smithereens.

The Heart of the Holy Hall was also a cunning person; he didn't want to directly embrace Ming Du like Fearless but rather gentlemanly grabbed Ming Du's staff.

Ming Du wanted to avoid the Heart of the Holy Hall's self-destruct, and the only way was to let go of his staff; otherwise, he would be blown up.

This staff of Ming Du's had an outrageous glow, indicating it was top-tier; if Ming Du chose to let it go, it would become the Heart of the Holy Hall's. If he didn't let go, the victory would go to the Heart of the Holy Hall anyway; either way, the Heart of the Holy Hall wouldn't lose.

As the self-destruct was released, the Heart of the Holy Hall felt the staff in his hand vanish.

The Heart of the Holy Hall was not at all surprised by Ming Du's choice; in such a situation, a class-level expert might throw away their equipment for victory, after all, their duty is to win. Equipment is merely consumable; even if a full set is discarded, they can quickly reconfigure another set afterward. However, for a grassroots player like Ming Du, there would be no such awareness.

However, as the light dissipated, the system prompt that the Heart of the Holy Hall anticipated did not appear.

After a long wait without hearing the system prompt indicating his victory, the Heart of the Holy Hall suddenly felt a shock in his heart.

At that moment, a familiar voice came from behind the Heart of the Holy Hall: "Hey, you're quite ruthless, huh? Luckily, I was prepared."

"???"

Hearing this familiar voice, the Heart of the Holy Hall quickly turned around, only to see Ming Du with his left hand making a strange hand sign, and his right hand holding a crimson staff, smiling at him.

Casting the hand sign!

If the Heart of the Holy Hall had directly embraced Ming Du back then, perhaps Ming Du would have been blown up. However, the Heart of the Holy Hall naively just grabbed Ming Du's staff, allowing Ming Du the opportunity to make a one-handed gesture and, at a critical moment, used a blink to avoid the Heart of the Holy Hall's self-destruct.

"Hehe!"

Seeing the expression on the Heart of the Holy Hall's face, Ming Du was quite satisfied. He swung his staff horizontally at the Heart of the Holy Hall's head.

As a top expert, the Heart of the Holy Hall had excellent psychological resilience. Seeing that Ming Du hadn't died, he only paused for a moment before immediately raising his staff to cast a flash spell at Ming Du.

Everyone felt a flash of light, and a blinding symbol appeared over Ming Du's head.

After blinding Ming Du, the Heart of the Holy Hall turned and fled, quickly creating distance between himself and Ming Du, while also casting several healing spells to restore some of his health.

"Hehe!"

But Ming Du sneered, extending both hands forward as his staff floated in the air, and he began to quickly form seals with his hands.

"This is bad!"

What kind of person was the Heart of the Holy Hall? Upon seeing this hand gesture, he immediately knew Ming Du intended to cast a spell. But now that the distance had been created, it was too late for the Heart of the Holy Hall to turn back and interrupt.

"Roar!!"

With a dragon's roar, Ming Du opened his mouth, and four fire dragons burst forth, flying towards the Heart of the Holy Hall from four directions: up, down, left, and right.
