24 Outnumbered But Outplayed
Goosebumps!
The entire gymnasium was filled with goosebumps after listening to the consecutive notifications. Everyone subconsciously held their breath.
"Did that tank killed all the HyperCarry members?"
"Let's see, let's see... shhh"
All eyes were glued on the large screen as the scene swiftly unfolded in their eyes. The crowd did not need to chant for a replay anymore.
The screen quickly flashed into the last seconds when the tank of the HyperCarry squad entered the tower of the Chronos Squad.
"AH! It was a suicide! What does this HyperCarry tank thinking?!" one of the audience angrily shouted after watching the replay.
The boy next to him offered his unsolicited answer, "They have miscalculated?"
The other companion also made a different comment, "They were too impatient. They could have made a bait! TSK! They should have waited so that CEO UNRIVALED would get out on the tower before they attacked!"
The audience sighed and few lines creased on his forehead, "They were acting like noobs! I once idolized them but now, ahhh... this gameplay is so reckless!"
When the replay was finished, other audiences quickly criticized the HyperCarry squad. All CEO UNRIVALLED did was hinder their movements by pulling them towards her position. The moment the HyperCarry tank and fighter were stunned by the after-effect of her skill, they were good as done! It was the tower that gave huge damage which caused their characters to die.
"OHOHOHO, so it was to tower's attacks that caused the entire HyperCarry squad to fall! Could this be beginner's luck? The Chronos squad was surely on fire!" the commentator sounded.
The countdown of this match was just about to reach 3 minutes. Yet, a huge deficit of gold and EXP promptly appeared on the upper portion of the screen. It is to say that just by watching the HyperCarry squad's action, they have fed the Chronos squad abundantly! Giving a penta kill was too generous for them!
The three members ducked their heads on the desk. Tears flowed constantly and dropped one by one on the floor, leaving some wet dent marks on the process. They had looked forward to winning the tournament. Unfortunately, the only chance they got was to play on the elimination round!
The squad leader of HyperCarry could not also contain his anger and disappointment. He pushed his device on the table and quickly walked out of the lounge.
"HyperCarry is instantly eliminated! Now, let's see how the Chronos will fight back against the other six squads... oh... here we go, the Hidden Wind Squad and Beast Squad is trapping the Chronos assassin, Almighty Killer, back to the bottom lane. Two squads versus one assassin!" the other commentator continued to announce in the background.
On the large screen, the distance of the two squads was already near. Some of their members were clearing the creeps. After the small soldiers were killed, they did not waste time and aggressively cast series of skills.
Claire's assassin retreated a few steps. As her character moved backward, the enemies were also moving forward.
They have rallied on her lane. When they tried to attack to tower, ranging water flooded in the ground! It was Clark's character, Amateur Mage who cast his skills. The element of water immediately knocked back the group.
"Ohh, the Chronos mage is not AFK at all!!! It had summoned water to push away the two squads from their tower. The Hidden Wind and Beast Squad are currently healing..." the commentator declared while his eyes were everywhere on the map. Seeing the movement of Clark's character, he finally understood the formation of the Chronos squad.
Despite Clark's assistance, Claire did not dare attack the 10 players around her lane. Close combat against these many enemies would never be an ideal move for her. Almighty Killer would never survive!
Instead, she slightly pressed the upper command on her device for a signal to ask for a backup. The signal was just made once. Then, her assassin then moved towards the middle lane.
Stephen did not also need to be told twice. It was on their plan. One notification call for backup is for the marksman. Two notification calls for backup are for the tank. This signal was easily understood which lane should switch. As for the support and mage, they were conveniently placed in one position.
Stephen's character, Dangerous Predator swiftly moved to the bottom lane. He didn't need to come near the enemy. Since marksman has long-range skills, all he need to do was to aim his projectile and cast them.
The two squads who were busy healing not far from the Chronos tower were struck by Stephen's attack. Their heal automatically canceled.
"AHH!!"
"SHH*T!!!"
The players of these squads groaned in frustration. Almighty Killer could only fight in close range. They were confident that Claire would not attack them, hence, they did not bother to hide while they were healing. Unfortunately, they failed to predict that the marksman of the Chronos squad would arrive in perfect timing to cancel their heal!
Retreat!
Since the marksman appeared, the two squads decided to hide first. Just as all their characters were about to move, another force from behind knocked them forward!
On the screen of their device, CEO UNRIVALED was directly pushing their characters towards the direction of Dangerous Predator!
They did not notice that CEO UNRIVALED had arrived behind them. They only saw the tank after their characters were pushed forward!
Fight back!
They were left with no choice but use the remaining skills they have. The fighters of the two squads quickly dashed forward to attack CEO UNRIVALED! Their weapons - axe and lance were glinting with a red aura, ready to strike on their opponent.
But how could Stephen miss the chance that Sofia opened for him? Dangerous Predator quickly launched a perfect combo of his skill!
CEO UNRIVALED did not also stand in the ceremony. Sofia quickly moved her thumb to create a shield. Then, her tank punched the entire ground to create an earthquake.
The enemies turned into chaos. Some wanted to retreat while others have already moved to attack CEO UNRIVALED. But before any of them could inflict damage, Stephen's attack already arrived. With the perfect combo of marksman and tank, another successive notification of kills followed.
UNSTOPPABLE! - CEO UNRIVALED
DOUBLE KILL! -Dangerous Predator
DOUBLE KILL! - CEO UNRIVALED
TRIPPLE KILL! -Dangerous Predator
QUADRA KILL! -Dangerous Predator
BLOOD BATH!
The Hidden Wind and Beast Squad certainly got the upper hand in number as they attacked the bottom lane, but the lack of direction on their alliance pushed them to a complete wiped out!
The Chronos squad may have been outnumbered, but it did not stop them as they have completely outplayed the two squads!
