Chapter 185: An unforgettable finale [1]

[Warlock Avatar, DarkLord Clotti has been eliminated!]

The first casualty in the team battle of the Warstar RPG Champions League happened, Phoenix Rising’s Warlock.

In individual battles, the Warlock class is one of the weakest classes in Warstar but the revolutionary video game built such a solid world background and intricate power system that left no loopholes.

Every class in Warstar had its use, and its strong points.

The strongest single combatants were Combat Mages and Blademasters, but classes like Clerics and Warlocks also had their uses, and they shine mostly when they play alongside others, in a team.

A Warlock’s importance was no less important than a Cleric in a team.

Like a Ghostblade that can cast spell boundaries to buff his teammates with various blessings, a Warlock can cast debuff spells and curses on enemies, weakening enemies for his teammates.

In simple terms, a Warlock can make a battle of 5 vs 5 become a battle of 5 vs 4.5 or even 3.5 depending on the level of the Warlock.

And Phoenix Rising’s Warlock? The guy was world class.

He died first, but he already fulfilled his purpose in his team. And his death became the catalyst that galvanized the team battle to a crescendo.

Immediately after the Warlock died, something changed.

BZZZ!

Phoenix Rising became more reckless and aggressive with their attacks, Dain Ironvalor leading the charge.

It was an all-out battle! The Elementalists turned into artillery war machines, unleashing hell on their enemies, recklessly unleashing their last fuel.

And in that momentary chaos, the battlefield sang a lullaby of death.

[Elementalist Avatar, Rising Storm has been eliminated!]

[Elementalist Avatar, Poseidon’s Fury has been eliminated!]

[Cleric Avatar, Gentle Love has been eliminated!]

The Avatars with the least defense and HP fell first.

As the attacking side, and under the bombardment of the hidden Launcher since the beginning of the clash for the Frost King’s palace, the Phoenix Rising Avatars had come under a lot of punishment and when the battlefield sang a lullaby of death, they suffered more.

They lost their 2 Elementalists in the chaos, a class well known for its devastating damage but in exchange, they took their opponents Cleric.

A Cleric, unassuming but the most important component in a team battle.

Afterall, not only can Clerics heal teammates, saving them from death, they actually have a skill to Revive allies too.

Though in the English Pro Alliance, the Revive skill was restricted to be used on only 1 Avatar, it was still a game-changing move in a team battle.

Gabriel had a plan though.

From the beginning of the battle in the Frost King’s palace, under all that bombardment and as the attacking side, Gabriel’s target was always the Cleric.

"Remove him off the board by all means!"

This was the order he emphasized to his teammates during the team planning, and this was why he and his teammates focused on her.

Jonathan knew his plan, he knew that they were targeting his Cleric but he didn’t fight it. This is because he knew that by directing all their attention to their Cleric, they would be leaving themselves vulnerable.

Jonathan’s plan?

While they focus on our Cleric, we strike!

And strike was exactly what they did, effectively taking out both Elementalists, and Phoenix Rising’s Warlock in exchange for 1 Avatar of their own though it was their Cleric.

To Jonathan, it was an acceptable situation. A win.

But was it really?

Clearly, the commentators thought so as they went crazy, going all lyrical about Jonathan’s leadership and the level of play of the Scarlet Rose players.

While the commentators went crazy with their commentary, the game continued on the 3-way holographic screen...

After that harrowing lullaby of death, Phoenix Rising was horribly crippled, left with only Dain Ironvalor and the Combat Mage.

As for Crimson Saint? They still had Crimson Saint, Chris’ Avatar, an Elementalist, and the well-hidden Launcher.

It was suddenly a 2v4 situation, an invaluable advantage to Scarlet Rose, but it didn’t stay that way.

The team battle comprises of 2 teams with 5 starting V Avatars fighting in a team battle to the death. But if an Avatar dies in either team, it releases a slot for a substitute Avatar to enter the stage.

2 substitutions are allowed in a professional English Pro Alliance game.

And it takes approximately a minute to arrive at the Frost King’s Palace from the spawn point of the Frost Hell arena.

Before the lullaby of death, a Phoenix Rising Avatar died first... the Warlock.

Since the Warlock’s death, a minute already passed.

...

Jonathan could not believe what he was seeing.

Victory! He could see it, it was so close.

In the blink of an eye, they managed to take out 3 Phoenix Rising Avatars. His plan was solid, his players were skilled and determined but despite all that, Jonathan never expected his plan to go so smoothly.

’It’s all us now!’ He thought, unable to contain his excitement.

Jonathan felt an urge to type and taunt Gabriel in the chat, but knowing how important victory was to their trophy aspirations, he ignored that instinct in a rare moment of self-restraint as he led the attack on the 2 hapless Avatars.

The 2 Paladin Avatars descended on the lonesome figures of Dain Ironvalor and the Combat Mage, turning into a hurricane of steel again.

The clangor of striking steel filled the arena, and then...

BZZZ!

Suddenly, gentle green light reflected from the bodies of the 2 Phoenix Rising Avatars.

’A Cleric...?!’ Jonathan’s eyes widened.

Yes, a Cleric. Phoenix Rising’s first substitute was a Cleric.

Having experienced the support of a Cleric since, and with his years of experience playing in the pro scene, Jonathan knew just how significant a single Cleric could be at this point of the game.

But this was not the reason why he was so shocked.

’How?!’

And finally, he understood.

With wide eyes, he looked at Dain Ironvalor. ’Devious bastard...!’

He finally understood.

He instructed the Launcher to stay in that vantage point not just to attack the starting V players of Phoenix Rising, but also to keep an eye on any substitute enemy player that enters the arena.

But due to how intense the battle is, the Launcher got lost, not paying attention to the exact moment when the Cleric was spawned in the arena.

And to avoid detection, instead of taking the fastest route to the Frost King’s palace, the Cleric took a roundabout path, avoiding the Launcher’s gaze.

He was able to manage this because Phoenix Rising already deduced the general location of the Launcher after suffering so many attacks from him.

It was also why the Cleric took more than a minute to arrive at the Frost King’s palace.

Jonathan’s eyes narrowed. ’I was fooled’.

But it didn’t’ matter, the situation was still salvageable, or so he thought.

BOOM!

As soon as green light shone on their bodies, telling them that their ally was here, Dain Ironvalor and the Combat Mage finally shed their pretense of weakness.

Both combat classes erupted!

Shedding his defensive style totally, Dain Ironvalor threw itself alongside the swift Combat Mage at the enemies, going on an offensive barrage.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

[Elementalist Avatar, Cryo King has been eliminated!]

They focused on the Elementalist and obliterated him in seconds. Afterall, there was no more Cleric to heal his injuries anymore.

Most importantly though, even with the help of a Cleric, the intense battle since already drained the HP of the Scarlet Rose players significantly.

A burst of concentrated attacks was enough to finish off the Elementalist.

Now, it was a 3v3, and Phoenix Rising had a fully charged and potent Cleric.

{Basic Heal=}

A low level Cleric skill that triggers a small burst of healing, heals 3% health, 5% for a specialized Cleric.

{Heal=}

A low level Cleric skill that triggers a powerful burst of healing to restore a significant amount of health to 1 ally, 20%, can go as high as 30% for specialized Clerics.

{Rejuvenation Aura=}

A low level Cleric passive skill that slowly regenerates health for allies in a radius over time.

{Blessing of Fortitude=}

A low level Cleric skill that temporarily increases an ally’s defense and resistance to physical attacks.

{Sanctuary=}

A low level Cleric skill that triggers a protective circle that reduces incoming damage and grants resistance to status effects while allies remain within it.

{Ward of Purity=}

A low level Cleric skill that dispels negative effects like poison, curses, or debuffs on an ally or the entire party.

{Haste Blessing=}

A low level Cleric skill that increases an ally’s movement and attack speed for a limited time.

All low level skills, but this was exactly why the Cleric still was so feared.

They were a gentle menace capable of a lot of mischief.

A moment ago, Dain Ironvalor and the Combat Mage were in their last legs but as soon as these series of low level Cleric skills were activated, they were revitalized for the crazy finale.

3v3, the battle started.

But it didn’t last too long.

43 seconds later...

The other substitutes arrived.

For Scarlet Rose, their first sub was the Gunner who came in place of their dead Cleric but for Phoenix Rising, their last sub entered the game.

Their last sub was a Blademaster but unlike the Cleric, he didn’t charge towards the Frost King’s palace.

Rather, he ran to a mountain range at the edge of the Frost Hell arena, the lair where the Launcher hid, causing mischief from a distance.

The deciding moment of this battle was here.

The finale was close to its end.

The fans held their breaths.
