MMORPG: Martial Gamer

"Not the same!"

Fearless smiled calmly and said, "I'm giving them a target to divert their attention!"

The saying "a tall tree catches the wind" is quite simple.

If everyone is flawless, the opponent will definitely be cautious of each member of the Crowd of Misfits Team.

But now that Fearless has exposed his trump card, even if the opponent doesn't deliberately target Fearless, they will subconsciously be wary of him, while instinctively overlooking the others.

The members of the Crowd of Misfits Team are quite clever and naturally realized Fearless's intentions.

...

After the break, the second match was about to begin.

The scene for the second match was chosen by the Crowd of Misfits Team.

The members of the Crowd of Misfits Team are not professionals, so they don't have much need for face-saving; their goal is very clear: to win the match, and they won't care about the feelings of the audience or their opponents.

For the second match, under Fearless's suggestion, Wang Yu chose the old map "Lost Forest."

"What the hell..."

Seeing that the Crowd of Misfits Team chose this map again, the audience suddenly felt disheartened.

According to this gang's usual style, it seems that in the next five matches, everyone will once again enjoy a large-scale game of "hide and seek."

The Pantheon team was equally helpless.

Although strength is quite important for players, choosing a good map can really frustrate even skilled players.

Clearly, the members of the Crowd of Misfits Team are a bunch of scoundrels.

Their combat ability isn't impressive, but their skill in escaping is unparalleled... Choosing such a large map, even a team packed with experts like the Pantheon was feeling quite troubled.

But what can be done? The use of tactics is also part of strength, and as experts, everyone understands this principle.

Since the opponent is desperately running away, they will have to chase them down; if they can't catch up, they can only blame themselves for lacking skill.

...

After the venue was chosen, two beams of light descended from the sky and, after a flicker, the players from both sides appeared on the stage simultaneously.

The player from the Pantheon side is called Prometheus, a mage. However, unlike the other mage Zeus, Prometheus specializes in fire magic, forming part of the three elemental mages along with Zeus and the Kyushu Team's Boundless Ocean.

Although Prometheus is not the standard artillery mage like Ming Du, his PK ability is extremely high; in the last match, he even defeated Kyushu Team's top player, Boundless Ocean.

It's worth noting that Boundless Ocean is an ice mage, which counters fire mages in terms of elements. Being able to defeat an opponent in a disadvantageous situation indicates that Prometheus's strength is evidently higher than that of Boundless Ocean.

On the Crowd of Misfits Team's side, the player coming to the stage is Vainglory...

Vainglory is relatively lucky, as he rarely gets randomly matched in one-on-one battles. It was only when facing the Holy Hall Team that he was randomly matched with a newcomer... and ended up getting disqualified due to Vainglory's clever manipulation.

However, Vainglory's performance in the first match against the Free Team in the Crowd of Misfits Team's debut had everyone looking forward to his appearance.

A Pugilist demonstrating skills that can suppress a Warrior shows how strong he is.

Thus, Vainglory, along with the top Pugilists Wang Yu and Evil Rampage, has been praised by the audience as the three great Pugilists of the Crowd of Misfits Team.

Seeing Vainglory take the stage, the audience, who were originally prepared to watch a game of hide and seek, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.

After all, experts of this level still have some pride; if they can defeat their opponent, no one would run away.

Both are top experts, and the battle should certainly be exciting.

Of course, the Crowd of Misfits Team is well aware of the specifics, and even if the audience cannot see through it, it doesn't mean the experts cannot.

The reason Vainglory suddenly surged in that previous battle had long been deduced by professional players.

Therefore, upon seeing Vainglory take the stage, the members of the Pantheon couldn't help but feel a sense of joy.

Although Pugilists are agile, their mobility still pales in comparison to archers and assassins.

Moreover, Pugilists can indeed serve as tanks to absorb damage; everyone allocates their points towards strength and vitality, while agility-oriented Pugilists are usually quite weak.

For this reason, it might be a bit difficult for Vainglory to escape.

With Prometheus's strength, as long as Vainglory cannot run away, he can win the match.

...

As a young man, Vainglory is still full of drive.

If it were someone like Spring Halo, an old dog, they would definitely compare themselves with their opponent as soon as they took the stage; if they didn't have a sure chance of winning, they would turn around and run without giving the opponent a moment's opportunity.

But Vainglory wants to give it a try.

As soon as the match began, Vainglory pushed off the ground with both feet and charged towards Prometheus.

"Hey? This kid isn't running away?"

Seeing Vainglory not turn to flee, Prometheus was slightly surprised and then slammed his staff down to the ground.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a three-headed fire serpent rose behind Prometheus.

At the same time, Prometheus pointed his left hand at the charging Vainglory.

"Whoosh!!"

Three streams of fire shot towards the rushing Vainglory.

Although Vainglory is young, he ranks quite high in agility among the Quan Zhen Sect, but his selected class is somewhat countered, and being somewhat naïve, he has often been bullied by the other members of the Quan Zhen Sect.

Vainglory already has a solid foundation and has been personally guided by Wang Yu. Evil Rampage even taught him the full set of "groin-kicking techniques!" His strength is certainly not weak.

Facing the incoming flames, Vainglory calmly performed a roll, dodging the fire serpent's attack and rolling to Prometheus's feet, then launched an uppercut aimed at Prometheus's chin.

"Wow! Not bad!"

Seeing this, Prometheus smiled calmly, flicking his left hand, and a ball of fire condensed into a long knife on his arm, striking down towards Vainglory.

The flame knife is a mage's close-range skill that can condense fire into various weapons to attack the target.

Vainglory reacted quickly; before the flame knife could strike his head, he decisively canceled his skill, sidestepped, and dodged Prometheus's attack. At the same time, his fist, which had been near Prometheus's neck, suddenly opened, fingers spread like claws, and he lunged towards Prometheus's throat.

Chokehold!!

Wang Yu's self-created skill, silencing the target for a period of time.

Prometheus is a mage, and all his abilities are verbal; once he is silenced, it's like he has been dealt a heavy blow.

However, just then, Prometheus clenched his staff tightly with his right hand, and shouted, "Retreat!"

At the same time, a circle of flames suddenly spread out from Prometheus's center.

"Whoosh!!"

Vainglory felt a rush of wind by his ear, and then it felt as if he was pushed by someone, the immense force directly sending Vainglory flying away.
