Witch trials

At the same moment, the Papal Palace.

Running Titan with his fist high in the air, aiming at the Pope's Palace, debris flying and popping out, Bai Liu and Mu Ke jumped backward to avoid the punch, the Pope, who had been smashed under a piece of ceiling, escaped, his expression was stagnant, looking at it already stunned, and his legs were shivering as he watched it all.

Bai Liu drew his whip from his haunches, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled as he looked across at Qi Yifang and Titan, who had come out of the center of the storm, "It seems that we are not the only wave of people who want to go to the island."

"Long time no see, Mr. Bai Liu." Qi Yifang nodded politely, the weathervane spinning more and more wildly was suspended in his hand, he raised his eyes to the scepter on Bai Liu's hand, his eyes stopped for a moment, his expression became obscure, "Worthy of being Mr. Bai Liu, while I was still hesitating, I have already entered the Pope's Palace, and got the key to go to the island. "

Mu Ke immovably stood behind Bai Liu, Bai Liu stood up straight, he shook his whip and shook off the rainwater on it, he laughed softly and inquired, "You're no match for me, forcing you to stand in front of me unassumingly like this, and letting me kill you, your tactician is really cruel to you."

"Though it is true that I am no match for you, and it is true that my tactician is brutal." Qi Yifang, rain sliding down his face, his demeanor not altered by this, the weathervane he was turning in his hand jerked to a halt, "But a match is a match, and a tactic is a tactic."

"What we're going to do doesn't change whether or not we die because of it, and that's what the King's Guild has trained us to do."

Qi Yifang looked directly at Bai Liu : "We are born to serve the Empress, to serve victory, until death do us part."

"What a devout faith." Bai Liu spread his hands appreciatively as he glanced wryly at the Pope, who was climbing out of the ruins of the main hall with Titan's help, "But judging by the clothes, you're supposed to be the Pope in your current status setting, aren't you? Wouldn't it be a bad idea to say that in front of your other top boss?"

Mu Ke leaned over to Bai Liu's ear, he covered his arm and his tone was a bit low, "Just now my dagger hit that Pope NPC but it was rebounded back, I unlocked his monster book, this guy is immune to all men and the Judged Witch's attacks, there is even a fifty percent chance that he can trigger a rebound, it's a very hard NPC to kill. "

"But what's strange ......" Mu Ke hesitated, "The monster book says it's only witches that have to be judged and males in ruled areas that are immune and bounce damage, we don't fall into that category but we are also bouncing damage."

Bai Liu swept an afterimage at the bleeding wound on Mu Ke's arm, "That's the wound the Pope bounced back from? Show me the monster book your panel unlocked."

Mu Ke showed Bai Liu the Pope's Monster Book, Bai Liu's eyes narrowed and he quickly tapped and scratched his system panel to refresh it, his gaze paused for a moment and his tone of voice was clear: "So that's how it is."

The identity setting on his system panel changed from [Prepared Witch] to [Witch Wanted by the Church Pending Trial].

Mu Ke also reacted, his face sank in an instant, "So it's the identity setting?!"

"Even though we are men and do not fall under the scope of being immunized by normal logic, our identity settings were reserve witches to begin with." Bai Liu explained in a clear organized manner, "And after we were saved by the witch team that time, we, as renegade reserve witches, had already been attributed to the witch team in the eyes of the Church, so the Inquisition Court wanted us, so we are now in the status of Witches Pending Trial."

"But it's still not right, even if we're now Witches to be Judged, we're not part of the damage immunity for attacking the Pope." Mu Ke was puzzled.

Bai Liu continued in a calm tone, "But we have now arrived at the Papal Palace, the centerpiece of this witch trial, so as [witches to be judged] we are at this moment undergoing a Papal trial."

"It just happened to fall into the immunity range where attacking popes and bishops is ineffective."

The Pope, who was staggering and being helped up by his guards, shouted in hysterical rage, "Arrest and execute these two witches' accomplices for me!"

"Where's the priest! Where's the priest who just rushed in and saved me!"

Qi Yifang answered the Pope in a very soft voice, "I am here, Your Holiness."

The Pope hid behind Qi Yifang as if he had seen a savior, he was shivering from the wind and rain, but he still ordered in a commanding manner, "I just saw you ordering that giant, that giant is the one you called out to save me, isn't it? Quickly, quickly let that giant kill these two thieves and take back my scepter!"

"The giants are indeed powerful, but so are those two, so beyond that, I need your help, Lord Pope." Qi Yifang said softly, "Can you make it possible for me to mobilize your team?"

The Pope hesitated slightly for a split second, but he turned his head to look at the scepter in Bai Liu's hand, and with a clench of his teeth, he agreed: "...... You mobilize."

The cardinals swarmed over, wearing masks and holding their scepters at Bai Liu and the others, Qi Yifang, who stood at the forefront, lifted his hand and dragged the weathervane in front of himself, his eyes looking at Bai Liu and Mu Ke, who were surrounded by layers of cardinals, and with little expression on his face, he answered the Pope, "Then it is as you wish, Your Holiness. "

Looking at the Cardinal who kept approaching him, Mu Ke and Bai Liu stood back to back as his face turned ugly, "The monster book says that the Cardinal is also immune to damage from [Judged Witch] attacks like ours."

"This is trouble." Bai Liu's tone was flat, his whip flung to the side as he looked at Qi Yifang, who was looking at him from across the cardinal, and actually brought a bit of a smile to his face, "It seems that the tactician on the other side has been preparing against us for a long time."

"The group of us [witches to be judged] were purposely lured here so that we would fall into the category of exemption."

In the midst of the gray stormy weather, the giant's huge shadow loomed in the white light of the lightning, stepping on the ruins of the Pope's Palace, his body stepping heavily as he continued to approach this way, his breathing as deafening as the vague sound of thunder, giving a lingering sense of immense oppression.

Titan clenched his fists, his expression grim, his eyes red and white, hissing as he hammered down hard on Bai Liu and Mu Ke in the center, while Qi Yifang dragged the weathervane high in his right hand and waved his left hand down in a harsh tone:

"Thunderbolt, drop!"

Thunder flashed and crackled on the weathervane.

[System Alert: Player Qi Yifang uses the skill, under the overlay of (storm) regional weather, can cover the local area with extreme weather (falling thunder), which can last for up to one minute, with a reduced stamina value, will enter a ten-minute period of stiffness, and will not be able to move.]

Purple-white thunderbolts flashed down from the swirl of dark clouds at the center of the storm, condensing into the shape of a sword and plunging straight into Bai Liu's landing point on the ruins of the Pope's Palace, the flickering thunderbolts fell down from in front of Bai Liu's emotionless pitch-black pupils, fiercely exploding and scattering sparks the moment they touched the ground.

The sky flashes several bursts of laser-like lightning, shaking people can not open their eyes, the top of the ruins of the Pope's Palace is silent, you can only hear the rain washed away the thunder and smoke after the cacophony of sound.

Qi Yifang stared dead at the place filled with smoke, his heart beating wildly, and he held his breath - next he would enter the ten-minute stalemate period, and if he didn't cut Bai Liu's blood this time with his big skill, it would be hard to cut it later!

Bai Liu, Bai Liu, this monster of a guy, wasn't even such a player that he was afraid of a month ago.

The growth is just horrible, and while he's also growing like crazy under Phoebe's pressure, it's not even on the same level as a monster like Bai Liu who presses himself to grow - it's horrible, growing to the same level as the Queen in just a few months.

A presence that even a strong-attack tactician like Phoebe avoids when formulating tactics.

"Eh-!?" Qi Yifang incredulously pointed to his nose as he looked at Phoebe and incredulously repeated to his team, "I'm going to stop Bai Liu?!"

"I can't even stop him!"

"Of course I knew you couldn't stop him, so I gave you Titan." Phoebe swept Qi Yifang a glance with her afterimage.

Qi Yifang Zhiqing curtly whispered, "But even if you give me Titan, I think it, we still can't stop Bai Liu ......"

Just when Qi Yifang thought he was going to be scorned by Phoebe for being weak, he saw Phoebe go silent for a rare moment before narrowing her eyes in slight displeasure and tsked, agreeing with him, "Yes, and you and Titan won't be able to stop Bai Liu either."

"Bai Liu is strong, he's the ace of their team, the kind of ace that can turn the tide at that level."

"Consistent with Spades' role in the middle of the killer sequence."

"For a team like ours that doesn't have a strong main attacker, Bai Liu is totally a card face that can play devastatingly, if I were a little witch, I would have let him do the main quest as well, he's got a good head on his shoulders, his skills are flexible, and his coordination, although a bit poor, will push it very fast, on top of that, the one thing that's still troublesome for us is that this team of the Wandering Circus, in addition to Bai Liu, the ace, there's also a main attacker with fairly high defense and high attack power."

Phoebe looks to Qi Yifang : "It's that hunter with the mysterious identity."

"Their team doesn't have a shield position, and the roaming position is two newcomers who aren't strong, but their main attack and Bai Liu, an ace, can completely fill the gap, and with the little witch taking on some of the role of returning defense and [shield], this is a tough team to beat."

"...... Indeed." Qi Yifang smiled bitterly, "Especially since our side's ace is still trapped on the island."

"The mechanics of the league are relatively fair." Phoebe raised her eyes as she hit the nail on the head, "Since the game traps our aces and gives us such big identity setting limits, they're bound to be and will be somewhere from eating big limits."

"For example, if they're in the Witch camp, then they'll most likely be exempted from damage when attacking members of the Order, so we just have to be flexible and utilize that."

Qi Yifang was stunned, "How can ...... be utilized flexibly?"

"I don't recommend getting into a head-on conflict with this Bai Liu guy, this person's tactical style is messy and unscrupulous, it's very easy to wear us down." Phoebe lifted her eyelids and looked at Qi Yifang, "So against him, I decided to use the tactic of attrition, that is, to use the relatively weak combatants in our team to stall him, what did your king call it, the tactic of the Tian Ji Horse Race, right?"

"That is, use your control system skills to stall Bai Liu, Qi Yifang."

Qi Yifang : "......QWQ Okay, Ms. Phoebe, what do I have to do?"

Although I had expected it, I still felt like I had taken an arrow to the knee.

"Stall Bai Liu on the island and wait for us to return." Phoebe lowered her eyes, "I'll do everything I can with the rest of the team to clear out their main attacker, Hunter, until then just do whatever you can to stall Bai Liu on the island before you die yourself."

"It's best if you survive, and if you don't--"

Phoebe looked at Qi Yifang : "Then use your full power, let your death bring us more value, inflict more damage on Bai Liu, and pave the way for the team members who are about to go to the island."

Qi Yifang was quiet for a moment, then took a breath and looked up with a determined gaze, "I know."

As the lightning dispersed, Qi Yifang's body fell into rigidity, he looked at the fallen figure in the center of the main hall's ruins, took two deep breaths, and was just about to let out a sigh of relief when a soft laugh suddenly came from behind him:

"Obviously an acquaintance, but so hard on me when we meet."

Qi Yifang's breath condensed, he couldn't turn his head quickly enough, the remaining light of the tail of his eyes swept over his shoulder with a gloved hand, and further up, was Bai Liu, who slowly fell from mid-air, the ponytail on the back of his shoulder was knocked askew to one side, and the bone whip he drew out from behind him was entangled with a zilla of thunder, the pupils of those pitch-black eyes slightly curved up, seemingly smiling but not smiling as he looked at Qi Yifang, his words were flirtatious. The words were flirtatious:

"It's so sad, meeting me and striking me with lightning, am I that unlikable?"

[System alert: Player Bai Liu loads player Mu Ke's panel and uses his personal skill (Flash Strike)]

"That can't be helped." Bai Liu withdrew his hand to revive the whip and smiled as he flung it over, "I'm a person who holds grudges, if you cleave me a bit, I'll be sure to return the favor."

The whip that flashed with lightning light instantly cut in front of Qi Yifang's eyes, his pupils reflected the flickering lightning light, and he almost gritted his teeth.

-- Bai Liu, at the moment when the thunderbolt descended just now, didn't hesitate to abandon his teammate Mu Ke and stole away with Mu Ke's skill!

He used Mu Ke as a shield to shield himself from the lightning! The one who fell on the ruins is Mu Ke!

How does this crumb of a teammate blocking a knife have the nerve to call Phoebe's tactics brutal!

Bai Liu's whip threw itself into Qi Yifang's face, smashing him ten meters away.

Qi Yifang lay on the ground breathing heavily, barely able to hold himself up to look at Bai Liu.

Bai Liu approached him nonchalantly, smirking as he straightened the whip in his hand, "You've got this look on your face, as if you're accusing me of using my teammates to shield myself from knives, but isn't that a normal thing to do?"

"On this field, everyone prioritizes preserving the more valuable player, like Phoebe giving up you for my leadoff hitter."

"I would also give up my teammates to preserve a more valuable version of myself."

Qi Yifang's face stares as Titan behind him growls and raises his fist to slam down on Bai Liu, who swings back to avoid it, raising an eyebrow as he looks over, Titan staring at him and dropping his fist again.

[System Alert: Player Titan is using a skill (Dimensional Shield) on the area in front of Player Bai Liu]

[After using this skill, different spaces will be cut into different time-space dimensions, neither living nor non-living creatures will be able to enter another space, light and sound will no longer be able to propagate, and the space in which the skill is implemented will no longer be merged under the same multidimensional space]

[This skill lasts for one hour with a one hour cooldown.]

A black hole the size of a human suddenly appeared and swallowed Bai Liu inside, which was constantly swirling with star-like debris.

The moment he saw Bai Liu being wrapped up in the black hole, Qi Yifang finally lay down on the ground like he had lost his strength, and looked up at the sky where the rain was constantly falling with a blank look in his eyes.

...... Just now almost thought he would die.

Finally, Bai Liu has tricked Titan into skilling up.

He painstakingly consumed his big skill and acted out Bai Liu, just to trick the [Flash Strike] in Bai Liu's panel where Mu Ke, the assassin, could instantly escape, so that Bai Liu, the man who was too free, had no way to make a gimmick to instantly escape, and then, next, was able to use Titan's skill to fit Bai Liu in.

Next--

Qi Yifang looked over to Mu Ke, who was being racked up by the guards over there, his chest rising and falling violently - as long as he let these guards kill Mu Ke, his side had replaced one of his team members, and he was considered to have successfully carried out his mission ......

Wait a minute! Mission!

Qi Yifang's body was in a state of rigidity, and he sat up straight under extreme shock, having just suddenly realized that something was wrong - his mission was to get the scepter and delay Bai Liu from going to the island.

But that Bai Liu guy has the scepter!

Bai Liu got the scepter directly into Titan's space! His mission is lost!

[I would also give up my teammates to preserve the more valuable myself.]

Bai Liu's voice with a smirk suddenly rang in Qi Yifang's ears, and he winced violently as he looked over to Mu Ke, who was being stood up, wearing a smile on his face as if he had already anticipated this step, and even raised an eyebrow at him in a slightly haughty manner.

Shit! It's a trick! The person being played is actually himself!

Qi Yifang's face sank to an unparalleled level - Bai Liu This guy's purpose from the beginning was to trick Titan's big skill and wrap him in a dimensional shield, so that even though he couldn't move, he got the key prop scepter and was in Titan's Dimensional Shield space, and even in a place like the Pope's Palace There was no one who had the means to harm him.

This field, the witch free action, Bai Liu has no way to arbitrarily use the witch's panel to heal himself or his teammates, in a head-to-head duel, found that the environment is not conducive to their own team, unable to attack the NPCs in the Pope's Palace, in order to prevent this ace of their own seriously injured and consumed, so that the team is at a disadvantage, this crumbs actually simply and directly give up on his teammates, do not dry with them, and scepter with the Titan's dimension into the Shield!

And stay for an hour at a time!

During this hour, everyone in the King's Guild will be passive, even if Qi Yifang kills Mu Ke now, it won't be of much use, he's in a stalemate, Titan's skills are on cooldown, one of Bai Liu's big skills in his hand is useless, and the scepter is still in his hand, so he can't go up the ladder until he's out, but by that time, the little witches' hordes would have long ago hit him to cooperate with him!

With the little witch around, this guy will be able to regain his blood and never die again!

They miscalculated!

Qi Yifang's face was almost twisted when he realized this - both he and Phoebe thought that Bai Liu was an extreme tactical type, who could fight so much in the key tournaments like the Challenge, who didn't care about his own blood, and who fought one-on-three, but he didn't realize that he could actually play this way! I didn't expect this guy to be able to play so meticulously!

No, if that's the case, when Bai Liu comes out, they'll be completely passive!

Qi Yifang looked up and yelled sternly, "Titan, get to the courtroom and help Phoebe kill the hunters!"

--Make sure to switch out the hunters before Bai Liu comes out, or you're screwed!

By the time the hunters converge back on defense and Bai Liu comes out of the shield, the witch, a healer plus Bai Liu and the hunters in a double attack formation they just can't carry it!
