Chapter 183: 11th Final of the Warstar RPG Champions League; Phoenix Rising vs Scarlet Rose [3]

CLANG!

The deafening clangor of metal striking against metal resounded in the fiery arena. Within the plumes of smoke rising to the sky, 2 valiant Avatars with a shield and a long sword clashed in a battle to the death.

Their movement was so fast that it left a blur behind.

Unlike his usual slow and methodical approach that Jonathan employed to deceive Gabriel in the individual battle, leading to his eventual victory.

This time, in their rematch, Jonathan employed another approach, the opposite strategy.

This time, it was the duel of Paladins that all neutral fans hoped for.

Crimson Saint clashed against Dain Ironvalor, no strings attached, no pretty or dubious elements added.

It was a raw clash of steel and will. And boy was it explosive.

Jonathan could decide to employ the same approach like he did in the individual battle, but he knew that his approach only worked because Gabriel never realized what his true intentions were due to his misdirection.

If he tried it again, Jonathan was 99% sure that Gabriel wouldn’t fall for it a second time.

His Avatar would fall.

So, why hold back?

Afterall, just like the fans, he also always wanted this duel.

Though he always evaded the question when asked during interviews by the reporters, he still loathed the day that the loathsome boy stole his seat as the King of Paladins in the English Pro Alliance.

Which Dain Ironvalor? He was supposed to be the King, Crimson Saint.

Jonathan always dreamed of crushing Gabriel in a straightforward battle though he was sober enough to realize how unrealistic it was.

But who cares?

It was not as if the situation presented another way of maneuvering past a straightforward battle this time. And so, instead of looking for a way to evade like usual, Jonathan embraced it and fought.

BAM!

He fought.

And fought.

AND FOUGHT.

Till Dain Ironvalor’s shield smashed against his shield for the last time, dealing marginal damage and wiping out the remainder of his HP.

---<VICTORY>---

Phoenix Rising won the first clash of the 3 vs 3 battle rush.

Gabriel lost, but Jonathan didn’t feel bad. Rather, behind his monitor, he had a murderous gleam in his eye as he stared at the screen with dark glee.

[Dain Ironvalor: 6% HP]

Dain Ironvalor had only 6% HP remaining!

’Take that bastard!’

It was not the perfect scenario that he hoped for.

He didn’t get to crush Dain Ironvalor liked he always dreamt of. But he gave the bastard a good fight. He scarred him, and now he was in his last leg.

Remembering himself, Jonathan quickly turned his head to his right where a familiar young face was, completely engrossed and focused on his monitor.

"Go get him Chris!"

Chris nodded somberly without looking. "Yes, captain".

[LOADING...]

Chris’ Paladin entered the 3 vs 3 battle rush arena after his captain.

As soon as he entered the arena, Gabriel chuckled, about to say a few words or maybe crack a joke but Chris didn’t let him. Because he knew it was misdirection. He was long used to it.

Gabriel was a newbie at it, his captain was the true grandmaster.

And so, before Gabriel could speak, he interrupted him.

"Senior Gabriel".

The Paladin made an awkward bow, and then, it erupted in an aggressive blur, swinging its long sword to attack even as its shield arm was prepared to defend.

"Ah, I thought your captain would have taught you manners kid". Gabriel sighed, already swinging his long sword to intercept.

The Paladin’s face was impassive, including the voice behind it.

"My captain taught practicality".

He struck.

WAM!

Gabriel had no escape.

The 2 Avatars entangled in a whirlwind of steel and just 18 seconds later, despite Gabriel’s best efforts, his Avatar was torn apart, disintegrating into motes of light as Chris’ Avatar was left standing with 88% HP.

Phoenix Rising’s Warlock entered the arena next.

And immediately, the arena exploded into a cauldron of violence again.

{Demonic Pact=}

A low-level Warlock skill that summons a lesser demon to fight alongside the Warlock for a limited time.

{Curse of Agony=}

A low-level Warlock skill that inflicts a debilitating curse on an enemy, causing damage over time.

{Hex of Weakness=}

A low level Warlock skill that reduces an enemy’s attack power and defense.

{Army of Shadows=}

A high level Warlock skill that summons shadowy minions to swarm enemies, dealing continuous damage.

As soon as the Warlock loaded into the arena, Chris’ Paladin moved, cracking the ground beneath his feet in the aftermath of his explosive movement.

He rushed to close the distance knowing exactly what the Warlock would start doing, and the Warlock didn’t disappoint.

3 low level skills, and a high level one.

That was what he was able to do before the Paladin closed the distance.

All were skills that either weakened his opponent or called forth allies for the Warlock. And just before Chris closed the distance completely, the Warlock’s APM exploded, narrowly activating one final skill.

{Binding Curse=}

A low level Warlock skill that roots enemies in place, preventing them from moving for a short time.

BZZZ!

Chris was temporarily immobilized!

In a battle of this scale, immobilization was a death sentence.

And yet, the Warlock didn’t push to capitalize on the advantage immediately by spamming damage skills. Yes, Warlocks have skills that deal damage, but dealing damage was not their specialty.

This was why, this Warlock did something else.

As soon as he activated Binding Curse, even before the skill could take hold, his hands were already flying across his keyboard in a blitz, activating another skill.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Chris’ Paladin remained immobile for 2 seconds due to his high resistance.

But 2 seconds was just barely enough for the Warlock to complete the skill sequence that he wanted.

{Unleash the Abyss=}

An unusual Awakened level Warlock skill that transforms the Warlock into an Avatar of darkness, gaining increased damage, health regen, and new abilities for a short duration.

Chris’ Paladin finally broke out of his immobile state, but what he faced was no ordinary Warlock anymore, but rather an Avatar of Darkness.

Chris ground his teeth behind his monitor, but he didn’t hesitate.

Valiantly, he charged into battle against the Avatar of Darkness.

BOOM!

Just like the first clash of the 3 vs 3 battle rush, it was an explosive battle.

And due to the big size of the Avatar of Darkness, it was even more visually stunning as Chris stood his ground against the towering Avatar.

When the skill duration finished, the Warlock already dealt sizeable damage and he continued his devious playstyle, spamming debuffs and attack skills, summoning more helpers to attack too.

It was a tight battle, it pushed Chris to the limit.

And yet, the young Paladin pulled on through sheer determination.

Jonathan was the captain of Scarlet Rose. He seemed all powerful and yet as one of the closest players to him, only Chris knew how much he truly suffers in the Pro Alliance, how much he had declined and how fast he was still declining.

Performing consistently at this level was taking its toll on his fingers.

That was why Jonathan brought him into the fray, his heir.

What better stage to prove his worth than here?

Behind his monitor, Chris growled literally as he brought his whole fearsome skill and APM to the fore, descending upon the Warlock in a hurricane of steel.

6 minutes later...

---<VICTORY>---

The Warlock collapsed in a heap, dissolving into motes of light.

Chris’ Avatar was the one left standing. But his HP was already deep in the red, hovering between 3% and 4%.

But still, behind his monitor, Chris had a grin on his face.

This was already a comeback and a half.

[LOADING...]

Phoenix Rising’ last Avatar entered the arena, the Elementalist.

Against this type of opponent and with such low HP, Chris was helpless. The Elementalist secured a flawless victory, bombarding him to death from a distance.

[LOADING...]

Scarlet Rose’ Gunner entered the arena.

And so, the final standoff came.

A Gunner and an Elementalist, both lethal long distance specialists. Both Avatars at 100% HP.

It all came down to a contest of skill.

The tension in Wembley Stadium was palpable, the atmosphere was electric, and then...

BAM!

Both Avatars clashed.

{Deadeye=}

A low level Gunner skill that increases critical hit chance for a short time and slows time slightly when aiming.

{Sniper’s Focus=}

A high level Gunner skill that enhances zoom and accuracy, significantly increasing range and damage for a single shot.

{Piercing Shot=}

A low level Gunner skill that fires a high-velocity round that is capable of piercing multiple enemies.

This was the initial salvo of the Gunner.

As for the Elementalist? It was all out attack, chaos, AOE madness.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The clash this time was even crazier than the first two clashes.

Explosions filled the arena and in between them, brilliant flashes of light lit up the world, signs of the Gunner still causing mayhem amid the chaos.

It was AOE chaos vs precision attack.

In the end, after a grueling battle, one last Avatar was left standing.

---<VICTORY>---

A vermillion cloak billowed in the aftermath of the battle, eyes sharp like an Eagle, watching all the destruction with a nonchalant gleam; with one hand on his holster, still holding the Revolver and ready to shoot again.

The Gunner was the last man standing!
