Ignored Instincts
When players gained enough experience in the game, they could actually feel as if their character would be in danger. Somehow, they developed such a mysterious connection between their character inside the game.
They could predict certain attacks and enemy movements. There were seldom moments when a lane went too quiet, some players would also retreat even though they had not yet detected their enemies. They could already tell that there was an incoming attacker and their character was at risk.
However, when experiencing overwhelming happiness, such feelings would sometimes be overlooked.
On the side of the Noob Amateurs squad, the players were still ecstatic about their kills. Their instinct had told them that something was off. But the nagging feeling of danger was completely ignored.
Suddenly, the ground beneath where their characters stood cracked open! It gave them a slight effect of being stunned. But the effect was too quick and they recovered easily.
All players quickly tensed up! As they glanced at their skills, it was mostly on cool down! They instantly retreated in the other direction where the ground was unshaken. But, none of them had calculated their movements. At that moment, all they want to do was find an escape route while their skills were not yet available.
The Noob Amateur fighter moved and produced several vertical slashes from his lance to fend off any opponent. As each slash traveled in the air, an arrow of a marksman also appeared. One arrow after another, it did not stop until the sky was raining with such an attack.
"There's an archer on the grass. Run! Run! Run!" the fighter mumbled.
Then, he hastily dodged the arrows and whirled his weapon. Their squad just needed a few more seconds for them to be able to use their skills. This fighter does not aim to fight. He just wanted to buy time for his allies!
However, in the direction where his allies went to escape, a huge amount of water suddenly flooded out of now where!
"I can't block this mage skill!" the tank of Noob Amateur lamented. They were faced with a huge flood ranging towards their direction. They quickly changed direction and sprinted sideward. But, a blazing flame also engulfed the area where they planned to move!
There was nowhere to run!
Seeing these several different attacks, the fighter realized that they were surrounded! All their escape route was cut off!
On a distance not far from them, he saw a figure that made his heartbeat quickened.
"CEO UNRIVALED!" he mumbled on his seat as he took a big gulped.
A hook suddenly appeared and he noticed his character on his device being dragged rapidly towards the position of the opponent. He was caught!
"OH NOO!!!" he shifted his sitting position in his seat as he realized that he was pulled forward! All his skills had turned gray and he was immobilized!
His members quickly ran towards him but he decisively signaled them to retreat.
"Retreat! Retreat! Don't save me! It's no use! Just go and escape!" the fighter user quickly made a choice to sacrifice his character for his ally to escape.
The animation of water flooding on the ground was already finished. The path became clear once more. Thus, the other members of the Noob Amateurs squad could proceed on their escape.
The members reluctantly turned around and ran away in haste. The fighter user could only see a single arrow struck on his character. He didn't see which position the marksman was standing.
His character's HP still survived to one-fourth of the full life he got. He smiled as he saw the ray of hope.
His slender fingers then pressed his screen continuously. Some sweat had appeared on his forehead and he casually raised his arms to wipe it off. As long as his character had an HP, there was still a chance! His character leaped and produced a different style of slashed from the spear against his opponent.
The passive attacks managed to get damage to CEO UNRIVALED. Vertical slashes and horizontal slashes somehow lessen the HP of the tank.
But it was just too little. And every time the spear struck on the armor of Sofia's character, the HP would also go back!
Instead of attacking, it would now seem like his character was playing a tickle game towards CEO UNRIVALED.
"It's useless! This is a trio push of marksman, tank, and support! I cannot survive!" the fighter user shook his head and glanced at the players on the Chronos Squad. He could only see their backs. Three males and two females team. But based on how stiff their sitting position was, he could tell that these players were too focus. There was an air of undisturbed concentration around them. As if they were all immersed inside the game.
The two sides were busy. And the audience had turned almost into madness. The large screen would switch from one perspective to another. Giving them a more intense feeling.
While the Chronos squad and Noob Amateurs were sparring near the river, another perspective showed!
The Pilot Gaming squad! The crowd had almost forgotten this squad but this group was still inside the map! And their characters had just entered the territory of the Noob Amateurs squad.
"Your final tower of defense in mid lane is under attack!"
This notification was heard by every member of the Noob Amateurs squad. Not only they were in a troublesome situation against the Chronos squad. Their tower was also placed open putting them in a more critical position. No matter what they would do, only the path of defeat can be seen as the end result!
"Your final tower of defense is destroyed!"
Another notification followed. The Noob Amateurs didn't want to surrender. Those who got the chance to teleport had started teleporting.
On the bleachers of the gymnasium, some of their fans admired their perseverance. None of the players showed any clue of retreating. They were willing to fight their way no matter how impossible to succeed in their situation!
