Chapter 1908: Chapter 1908: Crimson Moon
As for the second duel where Feng Yi Qin will be sent to the arena, the United Army is not surprised.
Feng Yi Qin is naturally very strong, and as the most powerful Necromancer, she’s a very challenging opponent to target.
It can be said that there are very few classes that can counter Necromancers.
Of course, Necromancers aren’t without flaws, the main one being their lack of mobility, so engaging in a guerrilla warfare against a Necromancer is often the best way to deal with them.
Moreover, Necromancers have trouble trapping opponents. If they can’t win, they flee, and Necromancers usually can’t catch up. If they pursue blindly, they are easily counter-attacked, as losing the protection of Undead Pets leaves them quite fragile.
However, nothing is absolute, as there are many special Undead Pets that can compensate for some of the Necromancer’s weaknesses.
This is akin to the Beast King Hunter system; the Hunter’s own output is mediocre, but with a top-tier output pet, they definitely belong to the upper echelon.
Pets come in various forms; there are ones that can walk on water, cast Feather Fall, resurrect teammates in combat, slow down opponents, or disarm them.
The key, however, lies in how the Hunter utilizes them.
This is why, even when it’s known that Hunters have low output, a Beast King Hunter is brought for certain bosses and dungeons, where teams need a Hunter with a strong pet possessing specific abilities; these calls are quite common.
Though Necromancers don’t have such diversity, they can summon many pets, each with their strengths and weaknesses, but the principle is the same.
Having won a match, the Starfire side naturally opts for stability.
Edward slightly shook his head: "Really unexpected, I thought your Iron Wall would step up."
The Starfire Iron Wall naturally refers to the Guardian Angel, with Starfire repeatedly achieving first raids, making the core group’s main power quite well-known.
Furthermore, in recent player polls, Starfire’s twin walls have been recognized as one of the strongest tanks in the Ancient God.
Starfire’s Steel Wall refers to the Fruit Knight, expert in singular defense, can stand firm against any powerful boss, withstand the boss’s formidable skills, and lead them into their rhythm, previously dubbed the Rhythm Master by players for aggro pulling.
Starfire Iron Wall Guardian Angel specializes in crowd control, moving barriers make them unbreakable, the team’s strongest protector.
When the two pair up, crowd battles are led by the Guardian Angel, and bosses revolve around the Guardian Angel, complementing each other, making the Starfire core group one of the strongest teams in Ancient God even without Li Yao.
Moreover, the Iron Wall’s performance in PvP is spectacular, famously unyielding, often wearing down opponents. He’s considered the iconic figure of this elite profession due to his outstanding performances, gaining admiration from many guilds.
Some even believe that a team without such an Iron Wall isn’t an adequate team; many strong, soft-skilled professions in a guild will judge ability to have such a protector as a criterion for willing participation in treasure raids.
As one of Starfire’s twin walls, Guardian Angel is naturally the safest choice, especially in such small venues where there’s no room for retreat in one-on-one battles, this class has barely any counters.
"If I take action, victory is certain, but it seems too drawn-out and dull, what’s the point of a duel without suspense." Guardian Angel said smugly.
"Guardian is quite confident, though you have reason for pride. Breaking down your defense would be a challenge for me as well. Since you’ve said it like that, we’re preparing for a big bet in this duel." Edward said.
Li Jie and Enchantress exchanged a glance, Enchantress raised her eyebrows said: "Sounds good, seems you have great confidence in the second duel. But we won’t dampen your enthusiasm, regardless of your wager, we’ll take it."
Everyone took a deep breath. This is bound to cause a stir. With dozens of super guilds, when they say a big bet, it’s naturally huge.
And Starfire is even bolder, not even asking what the wager is, directly agreeing to accompany it. What confidence and arrogance!
Starfire members naturally felt blood boiling, that’s how Starfire should be. But only the core layer truly understood how impressive Starfire’s returns have been from occupying the main city.
It’s likely their ’big wager’ would be trivial to Starfire; a hundred thousand Gold Coins is a big bet for large guilds, a million for super guilds, and tens of millions they might struggle to pool.
But for Starfire now, they can wager a billion, ten billion Gold Coins.
So, words come out bold. This isn’t arrogance but confidence; whether betting in Gold Coins or treasures, Starfire is undaunted.
Guild leaders’ faces flushed; even they believe that despite Starfire having the main city, their combined financial capability might not compare, due to their lack of clear understanding.
"Really courageous." Edward clapped and smiled: "Our wager for the second duel is to use one of the top ten strongest Legendary weapons as the stake."
Wow!
The strongest Legendary weapon isn’t judged by players, it’s by the System, those slightly lacking can’t even make it onto the list.
Of course, those not yet unveiled or held by NPCs are not included or listed.
The list is only for weapons held by current players, ones prevailing on the scene.
Said as top ten ranked, but actually, there aren’t even ten weapons on the list.
And most are within Starfire’s guild, a recognized fact; aside from unknown holders, it’s known Edward possesses one.
Even thinking about it, Edward wouldn’t offer his weapon as the wager, so the only possibility is yet another top-tier Legend emerging.
A guild leader took out an ancient box; under the expectancy of all, the box opened, revealing a dull and worn dagger.
"The dagger needs recognition and equipment conditions, once a Divine Artifact dagger, now silent, but definitely top-tier Legendary." the guild leader said.
Displayed to everyone, the dagger name shows as Crimson Moon with conditions requiring the ability to wield it.
"A top-tier Legend, we believe it." Enchantress’ eyes instantly brightened, as if light filled her surroundings: "But these conditions are likely not that simple."
That super guild’s leader said: "Requires must be top-tier Thieves among rookies, and equipping it reduces health and defense."
Everyone was enlightened; Thieves are inherently fragile, and reducing health and defense would lower survivability.
"Moreover, in any fight using this dagger, it must kill; failing to do so results in being killed by dagger backlash."...
