[2] GLORY

Chapter 264

“I thought they’d hold out until their Immortal Warlock respawns…”

Fuck!

Vulgarities were not permitted. They could only express their deep shock internally.

Not one of the teams who had entered the playoffs in the World Tournament was a weakling. Aside from Xie He, the rest of EVE were also all gods of slaughter.

FTW would certainly show no lenience. They were already determined to dive the tower in the first place and only more so after Miller's positioning error. Without a second thought, Bai Cai reflexively tanked the tower, and the five of them focused their fire on Miller. They were just about to boot him home…

The turnaround caught everyone by surprise.

The scene froze because of the Bubble Tune that Miller breezily cast at the five FTW members who were huddled together.

Wei Xiao clicked his tongue. “That seriously worked?”

Brother Cai: “………………” Jealous!

It actually wasn’t that hard to shake off the status effect from the Holy Priest’s Bubble Tune, but it had insane range. Theoretically, as long as the enemy was stuck to that spot, they could keep pelting them with more bubbles until they gave up on life.

But that was just on a theoretical basis. First, their foes weren’t wooden dummies. Secondly, Bubble Tune had a cast restriction. The caster couldn’t stun the same target in the next second. There was a precise angle and distance that one had to cast the spell in order to form a closed ring that could stun all five targets and avoid that one-second grace period.

One second might sound short, but even a hard crowd-control effect in Glory typically lasted no more than two seconds. Every second passed like an age.

However, Miller’s Bubble Tune happened to go a full round and land on Brother Cai at the last moment. Everyone was stunned for half a second, whereas Brother Cai was stunned for a full second.

Even the Giant Shaman couldn’t tank the increasing damage dealt by the defense tower!

Furthermore, Miller, who had acted as bait, wasn’t acting alone. The remaining three players from EVE had long since planned it out.

Seeing that Miller had successfully set the ball rolling, CC rushed out from beneath the tower, throwing punch after punch at the five from FTW.

Other than Ground Stab, the ultimate ability in the Power Thief’s arsenal was also deadly. Once its punches crossed a certain combo, the opponent would be crippled; the reduction on cast and attack speed was equivalent to knocking off an entire item.

The effect of Brother Cai’s meat shield nosedived. Ning Zhehan was at low health to begin with, and a single strike instantly left him in a precarious state.

Dunn, EVE’s marksman, also emerged, shooting down Ning Zhehan with one arrow and collecting Brother Cai’s life with a second arrow. Wei Xiao was next to suffer the brunt of the tower, and Dunn got him too with his crowd-control ult, dashingly bagging three kills.

This scene shocked not only the audience and the livestream viewers, but also Echo who was off-stage.

Xie He stared at the screen intently. He was sitting ramrod straight and a murderous aura radiated from him once more. Just eight seconds more and he would respawn!

It wasn’t just him; everyone in the canyon was eyeing the clock.

7 seconds. Dunn, who had gotten a triple kill, ate half a cartridge of bullets from Yue Wenle. Seeing his health bar grey out, Miller, who was also on the brink of death, took a step forward, yielding his life to save Dunn.
