Heroes' Prison

Chapter 439 - 429 Quick Battle

"Go Kangaroo Legion! Go Australia!"

"Go Heroes’ Guild!"

At this moment, the spectators’ area was roaring with thunderous applause that shook the heavens and the earth. Virtually the entire country of Australia, with tens of millions of viewers, had come to the venue. The Chinese audience was even larger. Today was Sunday, and students were on winter break, free to go online during the day.

At this stage, TV reporters began to get involved. In the stands, one could see live reporters, mostly from China and Australia. Players could choose to watch the match while listening to these reporters’ live commentary.

"Ladies and gentlemen, both teams have entered the arena! Standing to our left, we have Australia’s Kangaroo Legion, the only team from Australia that has made it this far. They are a gathering of the nation’s top players, and their team captain is Dennosk, who was a finalist for the Best Individual Award last year. In the last forum’s world rankings, he was placed 92nd," reported a journalist from a Chinese TV station doing a live broadcast. His eyes then turned to the Heroes’ Guild, and his tone became excited, "And to our right, we have the world-famous Heroes’ Guild, one of the seeded teams in this group competition. They have close to a hundred Rare Class Holders, and the rest are either of a Rare Race or Advanced Class. Among them, this competition’s two dark horses, Quick Spike and Xiao Chunzi, are both in this team. Now, pay close attention! At the very front of the team, that’s the awe-inspiring captain of the Heroes’ Guild! Last year’s Best Rookie Award winner! The first Name Bestower! Guardian of the Chinese Mainland—God of Slaughter!"

At this time, not only the reporter but also a vast majority of the Chinese audience was staring at the Heroes’ Guild with excitement.

However, when Australian reporters introduced the Heroes’ Guild, their tone was very somber.

"There’s only one minute left for preparation!" At this moment, the system’s prompt echoed throughout the venue.

"All units, activate all BUFFs that last over 3 minutes!" commanded Huang Yi, the captain of the Heroes’ Guild, as well as Dennosk, the captain of the Kangaroo Legion, almost at the same time.

Following that, all team members who met the criteria started to activate their BUFFs to enhance the attributes of the entire team.

Within the Heroes’ Guild, Overlord began to hum the tune of Soul Prelude, while Xiao Chunzi activated her own class enhancement skill. With the strong support from these two, the strength of the Heroes’ Guild immediately surpassed that of the Kangaroo Legion by a wide margin.

"Preparation time is over; the competition officially begins!" One minute later, the system announced the start of the match.

At this moment, the distance between the two teams was roughly 150 meters, which exceeded the effective attack range of ranged classes at this stage; neither side could hit the other.

But Huang Yi was an exception! His super large-area group attack capability had already surpassed this distance.

"Scorched Earth!"

"End of the World!"

"Judgment!"

"Storm of Thunder Clouds!"

Like in previous matches, Huang Yi immediately unleashed his four major group attack skills as soon as the match began! The five hundred members of the Kangaroo Legion suddenly suffered group damage, forcing their priests to begin healing teammates and continuously consuming their Magic Value.

Next, Huang Yi alone charged toward the direction of the Kangaroo Legion, but this time he didn’t use his Pursuit Skill; instead, he ran normally!

After charging for about fifty or sixty meters, he abruptly stopped! This position was within the effective range of the opposition.

At this point, standing on the no man’s land between the two teams, countless spectators watched him, puzzled, as did the live commentators, unsure of what he intended to do.

"Net of Justice!" The very next moment, Huang Yi answered everyone’s questions with his actions, stretching out his hand and casting!

A grey Light Net suddenly spread toward the other side, moving swiftly to cover all players within a hundred square meter area!

The reason he charged forward was that the casting distance of this skill, Net of Justice, was too short, at only a hundred meters.

The Kangaroo Legion had already studied Huang Yi’s Net of Justice skill, so they had spaced themselves well apart. Huang Yi’s net only caught around ten players.

"Quickly free them!" Dennosk, the captain of the Kangaroo Legion, urgently issued a command. The cream of the Kangaroo Legion prepared to rescue their teammates!

But Huang Yi was faster; he slightly clenched his hand and almost instantly pulled those ten or so players directly to his side, dumping them all beside him.

"One squad, attack God of Slaughter immediately! Those who were caught, apply your control skills to him!" Dennosk issued another command.

In the Kangaroo Legion, a small group with tremendous Attack Power launched ranged attacks on Huang Yi. Bow Hunters’ Arrows, mages’ Magic, and the Eccentrics’ unique ranged methods all took aim!

And the ten or so players that Huang Yi had grabbed were also starting to make their move, attempting to cast control skills on him!

"Ranged classes, focus fire on these ten or so people, and priests, heal me!" At that moment, Huang Yi also gave out his command. He was essentially acting as a middleman; the Kangaroo Legion could hit him, but the priests from the Heroes’ Guild could also replenish his health.

The Heroes’ Guild’s attacks were well organized and unleashed. Various magic arrows rained down on the ten or so enemies around Huang Yi.

Behind Huang Yi, an assassin from the Kangaroo Legion swung his dagger, delivering a dizzy strike to Huang Yi!

But that was his last control skill, for in the next moment, he and his ten-plus teammates who had been captured were all killed at Huang Yi’s feet under a barrage of attacks that blotted out the sky.

At this time, a squad of the Kangaroo Legion’s ranged attacks finally hit Huang Yi! But their attacks did not cause much damage because after Huang Yi cast Net of Justice, he had a 100% increase in defense for 10 seconds!

Soon, a priest from the Heroes’ Guild swung his magic wand, casting a green Light of Life which fell upon Huang Yi, instantly filling his health points to the brim.

Huang Yi’s dizzy duration also ended at that moment, as he had a racial talent called "Body of Nature," which halved the duration of all negative statuses.

"Sister, reduce my cooldown!" Huang Yi immediately said to Xiao Chunzi.

Hearing this, Xiao Chunzi, holding her priest’s staff, quickly waved it towards Huang Yi!

The next moment, Huang Yi’s Net of Justice cooldown was reduced by twenty minutes, and since the skill’s original cooldown was only 3 minutes, it was effectively reset.

Huang Yi reached out his hand again, casting another Net of Justice towards the distant Kangaroo Legion members like the Grim Reaper himself, capturing nearly twenty more players.

The ranged classes of the Heroes’ Guild once again focused their fire, killing the group of players, causing the Kangaroo Legion to suffer further losses!

Yet it was still not over. Huang Yi immediately issued another command, "Overlord, reduce my cooldown!"

As soon as the words fell, Overlord rocked his cane, pointing it towards Huang Yi from a distance!

Once more, Huang Yi’s Net of Justice was ready, and for the third time, he spread his hand and swept up nearly twenty more players from the Kangaroo Legion.

"Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!" Soon, this third wave of players were all killed in a surrounding attack by the Heroes’ Guild!

Three consecutive uses of Net of Justice stunned all the players and the live commentators. The strategic use of this skill was to divide and conquer isolating the enemy and gnawing away at the Kangaroo Legion bit by bit!

By now, Dennosk’s face had turned ashen, and the players of the Kangaroo Legion began to panic, fearing being captured by Huang Yi.

"Dear audience, just now, God of Slaughter used that Net of Light skill three times in a row, forcibly pulling over three waves of the Kangaroo Legion’s members and achieving great effect. A total of fifty-three people died in these three attacks, the Kangaroo Legion has lost nearly 10% of its members! If God of Slaughter continues like this, then the members of the Kangaroo Legion will be killed off one by one! Next, Dennosk will surely make tactical adjustments to prevent this from happening!" said a commentator from a Chinese television station, slightly excited by the situation on the field.

However, Huang Yi then actively returned to the Heroes’ Guild, and the scene momentarily calmed down.

They had already gained the upper hand, and next, it was their turn to wait at ease. Among his four large-area group attack abilities, "End of the World" and "Judgment" with Aeonic Plague Effect, although only lasting for 10 seconds, had already inflicted massive damage on the enemy. Their priests were already using a lot of their magic value to heal in order to stabilize the team’s health points. With Huang Yi’s remaining "Scorched Earth" and "Storm of Thunder Clouds" abilities, which had no time limit, continuous damage could be dealt. The opposing priests could only grit their teeth and keep using their magic value to heal, which would surely lead to problems after a long time.

As expected, Dennosk saw this situation and immediately issued a command, "Activate Guard!"

As the words were spoken, a priest with a rare class among the Kangaroo Legion’s team cast his major skill, thrusting his priest’s staff into the ground!

In the next moment, a circle of golden light spread out, sweeping over every member.

Afterward, it was as if their ability to withstand damage suddenly increased significantly, and the damage caused by Huang Yi’s attacks was immediately reduced to a mere fraction.

Dennosk issued another command, "Melee classes, seize the time and charge, this skill has a limited duration!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the knights of the Kangaroo Legion mounted their steeds and charged towards the Heroes’ Guild, with the other classes following from a distance.

Everyone understood that once the charge commenced, it meant that this battle would soon be over!
