Chapter 1860 1860: Cheesy Skills
Although Wolf was knocked off the stage, winning two matches in a row isn't too embarrassing.
After all, Darknorth Fisher's earth escape technique was used so suddenly that anyone would struggle to guarantee they wouldn't fall for it in that situation.
Next up was the fourth match.
The second player from the Freedom Team entering the arena was none other than Spider-Man Wade.
Wade was somewhat unlucky; based on his strength and professional advantages, he should have had a hard time losing in the competitive arena. However, he happened to encounter Wang Yu... that match was indeed a bit embarrassing.
But now that it was his turn, Wade was very excited.
This was a chance for revenge; since Wolf had suffered an even worse defeat than Wade, anyone who came on stage could wash away the humiliation from the last match as long as they didn't meet the few abnormal players from the Crowd of Misfits Team.
...
Seeing that his opponent was Wade, Darknorth Fisher felt a lot of pressure.
From a professional standpoint, when assassins face off against each other, Darknorth Fisher had no extra advantage. Although Darknorth Fisher held the title of King of Mercenaries, he was ultimately just a king in the amateur league, while Wade was a bona fide top-tier expert recognized globally.
It was like a provincial champion competing in the Olympics—his opponents were all international-level experts, and they were on completely different levels.
Darknorth Fisher's highest achievement was merely winning a national championship, which naturally made him somewhat disadvantaged in this world-class competition.
After all, esports isn't table tennis; a world champion and a national champion are not in the same league.
...
The assassin's playstyle is highly operational but can be quite simple and straightforward, with the key being the use of stealth. However, as the match began, Wade showed no intention of using stealth at all; instead, he gestured towards Darknorth Fisher.
Both his demeanor and actions were exactly like Darknorth Fisher in the previous round.
"Shh…"
Seeing this, the audience couldn't help but boo loudly.
Clearly, Wade was trying to mock Darknorth Fisher, acting as if he were on the same level as an amateur. It was quite petty for a professional-level expert to behave like that.
When Darknorth Fisher saw Wade being so arrogant and not even using stealth, he felt a sudden surge of joy.
Still, the point remains: half of an assassin's strength lies in stealth. In the previous round, Darknorth Fisher didn't use stealth because he had a more advanced concealment technique like the earth escape skill, which allowed him to attract his opponent and then attack from behind.
But Wade not using stealth was indeed a bit too arrogant.
Darknorth Fisher knew the gap in strength between him and his opponent, but in this case, the outcome was still uncertain.
"Hmph!"
Darknorth Fisher let out a cold snort, and his figure vanished into thin air.
Seeing this, Wade slightly opened his right hand and fired a shadow towards the ground.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
At that moment, with a clear sound, the shadow expanded outward from Wade like a spider's web, instantly covering all the ground within a 500-range radius.
Silver Thread Barrier!
Using silver threads to create an invisible detection area within a 500 range, it could reveal all enemy units within the skill's range.
The silver thread barrier was invisible, and Wade's movements when casting the skill were subtle.
Although the audience could see clearly, Darknorth Fisher, being the one involved, had no awareness of it at all.
Darknorth Fisher was extremely fast; just as Wade was setting up the silver thread barrier, Darknorth Fisher had already moved behind Wade. He then raised his dagger and activated his swift strike to stab Wade in the back.
"Thud!"
Darknorth Fisher created an afterimage as he stabbed Wade in the lower back, unaware that as he entered Wade's silver thread barrier range, Wade had already sensed it.
At the moment the dagger pierced Wade's body, Darknorth Fisher's pupils suddenly constricted, sensing something was off.
"Fake! This is a shadow clone!"
Darknorth Fisher reacted incredibly quickly, realizing he had stabbed the wrong target. Without a second thought, he canceled his skill and rolled forward.
Almost simultaneously, the space behind Darknorth Fisher twisted suddenly as Wade reached out with a knife.
"Close call!"
Seeing Wade behind him, Darknorth Fisher's heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately, he dodged quickly; otherwise, he would have fallen into Wade's hands just now.
"Eh?"
When Wade saw Darknorth Fisher evade his attack, he was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise crossing his face. He hadn't expected this assassin to react so quickly; it seemed that defeating Wolf wasn't solely due to the earth escape technique.
At this moment, Darknorth Fisher had already canceled his stealth, and as an assassin without stealth, he had to face his opponent head-on.
Knowing he couldn't win in a direct confrontation, Darknorth Fisher instinctively ducked his head and activated the earth escape technique.
"Hehe!"
At that moment, a smirk appeared on Wade's lips.
"Silver Thread Barrier! Reap!!"
Wade extended his palm toward the ground and suddenly clenched his fist tightly.
"Whoosh!"
A massive net started to close around the ground, and Darknorth Fisher just happened to dive right into it.
"Silver Thread Barrier, Bind!"
Wade crossed his arms, and the net wrapped tightly around Darknorth Fisher.
Before Darknorth Fisher could figure out what was happening, he was completely ensnared by Wade's massive net.
"Damn! Is this skill really that cheesy? I protest! The Freedom Team is cheating; ban them!"
Seeing Darknorth Fisher caught in Wade's net, Ming Du couldn't help but shout loudly, immediately attracting the audience's attention.
Everyone had been playing games for so long, but they had never seen such a shameless player.
"Ahem!"
Members of the Crowd of Misfits Team coughed and turned their faces aside, indicating they didn't know this clown.
Cheesy skill? Is there a skill in this game more shameless than the earth escape technique?
The silver thread barrier was merely a very standard control skill; the reason it caught Darknorth Fisher was entirely due to the attributes being somewhat countered.
If Darknorth Fisher had been more careful and avoided using the earth escape technique within the barrier's range, he could have dodged it. Compared to the earth escape technique, which even the God's perspective couldn't see, this skill was very standard, alright?
Ming Du's complaint seemed to have a bias, resembling the tendency of allowing officials to set fires while forbidding commoners from lighting lamps.
Moreover, the skill settings in <<Rebirth>> were inherently like this; even if there were more shameless skills, as long as they fell within the system's allowed range, they were reasonable. Ming Du's protest truly came off as unreasonable.
