Chapter 24: The First Round Ends

Fang Plover bent down and took the lead in putting down his walker. The sword plover was much lighter and more beautiful after changing a chassis, and the metal bladed feet glowed coldly in the flickering firelight around them.

He straightened up again, lowered his head to adjust the tightness of his gloves, and then looked up.

The girl on the opposite side made a move, and a flexible structure of a black octahedron also slowly rose from the crowd behind her and flew to her side.

It hovers in mid-air throughout, maintaining a constant rate of spin, but unlike the Clockwork Elf in that it does not rely on the fluttering principle to fly, it relies on Guy Crystals.

This is the Annihilator QV700, a rare Demon-Oriented Flexible Build.

It's not actually 'nimble' at all, with a speed of only 7, less than half that of a normal adult male, and almost no evasion value. However, the clumsy mobility is exchanged for the variety of combat methods.

The Wizard's flexible construction is similar to that of the Magus, with a bias towards ranged and spell output, and different subsystems are equipped to achieve different attack effects.

The more common ones are Fire Rays, Shining Fields, Gravity Traps, and Mana Spears, which can be both offensive and defensive.

But the real mental trap is that the four subsystems of the Annihilator QV700 are not fixed, and they can be adjusted to the combat style of their owners. If Fang Yu uses traditional thinking to deal with it, he will suffer a big loss if he is not careful.

But he didn't hesitate.

The referee blew the whistle, and Fang pulled down the goggles and let his walker enter the field at high speed. The main race is no longer a flat field, about 10 meters square, the north side is an artificial obstacle area, and the south side is gentle, distributed with grass and low trees.

Grass, trees, and walls are all made of magic, and they are all almost real until the aether magic wears off.

Like a silver shadow, the walker slid behind a stone wall, and a blinding beam of light shot from a distance, hitting the stone wall, leaving a golden-red speck of hot light on it.

"Flame rays." Seeing this scene, Fang Yu confirmed a method of attack.

He memorized the data in his mind, the cooling time of the flame ray was one and a half seconds, and the heat temperature increased by four degrees. He jot down the heat stats and counted them for a second before allowing the walker to jump from one wall to the next.

The other side did not attack.

Fang Yu silently noted another point in his mind - there was no plugin to reduce the cooldown time installed.

The walker slid out like a ghost, and another golden red beam of light shot in the distance, but the square plover seemed to have expected it, causing the walker to shrink back, leaving only a dazzling spot in place after the ray.

The next moment, the walker immediately turned to running and flew behind the next stone wall.

Not far away, the Annihilator was on the right side of the field, hovering more than a meter above the grass, remaining motionless in its spins except for the previous blow.

Seeing this scene, Momiji also slowed down the manipulation of the construct, and his heart sank slightly. Failed twice in a row, and didn't even test the opponent's dodging habits, not to mention that I hadn't encountered anything like this in the game, even when I was practicing with the instructors.

She was vaguely surprised in her heart, but she wasn't sure if it was a coincidence, wasn't the opponent from the qualifiers?

The two consecutive encounters were slow-paced temptations, and the audience on the field also became a little impatient and let out a few sparse boos. Only Wu Di saw Fang Yuan's walker and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"What's wrong?" Liyue turned back to him and asked.

"Can your walker be so smooth?"

"I can be a lot faster than him."

"It's not fast, it's smooth—"

Liyue frowned, unimpressed, but didn't bother to look at it.

Not far away, the Blood Night Demon Moon had already turned on the tracking device, and while adjusting the focus, she pressed her communication device with her hand, and typed on the open communication page with one hand:

"I'll pass it on to you—"

You might as well record it and send it to me, it's expensive to transmit it in real time. ’

An ID pops up from the window, and the person speaking uses an abbreviated ID, R.

"Are you short of that money?" The Blood Night Demon Moon rolled her eyes.

R: Very poor.

On the field, there was a sudden burst of exclamations.

It turned out that the walker finally came out from behind the wall, but it was not Fang Yu who volunteered, but Momiji lost his patience and blasted open the stone wall there with a magic spear.

The scattered air currents caused the walkers to stagger, and Fang Yuan couldn't help but smack his tongue, and said in his heart: "What a violent girl! "The essence of the tactical essence of the flexible construction of the magic guide lies in the allocation and combination of resources, and he has never seen such an offensive style of play.

This disrupted his plans a little.

Of course, he also noted down the second attack method at the same time, the magic spear - the magic spear has a cooldown time of five seconds, the heat temperature has increased by twelve degrees, and there are two left, Fang Yu thought to himself.

He pressed his palms down, causing the walker to spread his six legs and sink his entire torso down.

Momiji is indeed losing patience, and instructors often say that she has a strong desire to attack, which is her strength, but also her disadvantage. The downside is a lack of patience, and Momiji herself knows this, but doesn't intend to correct it, because she thinks that's her style.

Her gaze swept over the smoke-filled field, judging where the other party was, and a red light flashed.

But the beam of light passed right above the dwarf walker, and it was exactly the same.

On the other side of the arena, the audience who happened to see this scene couldn't help but let out a low sigh of admiration - they hadn't understood why Fang Yuan asked the walker to lower his center of gravity, but they didn't expect the enemy to take the lead.

Although Momiji couldn't see the situation behind the smoke, he realized that it was not good when he heard this exclamation.

She had a faint feeling that the boy always seemed to know what he wanted to do—

Fang Yu actually wanted to tell her that the flexible construction of the magic guide was actually very rigid, and a real master would make its attack methods flexible and changeable, but in the final analysis, there were still rules.

These are the words of the master tactician Rubick, the inventor of overload current tactics, who has been retired for many years, but many of his classic tactics are still alive and well among combat craftsmen.

And Fang Yu also knows that the overload current was born to make up for this shortcoming.

Of course, he was not as optimistic as Momiji imagined in his heart - the level gap existed objectively, and even if his walker was completely replaced, it was still several ranks short of the Annihilator QV700.

Fang Yu silently inspected his hole cards, the modified Walker, the Magic Furnace, the two clockwork fairies, the newly installed power enhancement plug-in, and the Visual Link Crystal.

These things gave him a little peace of mind, and the only thing he had confidence in his heart was that he at least knew where the winner of this game was.

The Pacers have jumped to their feet, no longer hiding their intentions, and are heading straight for the south side of the court. The two red lights in front of it pierced through the mist, and the walker deftly dodged left and right, only allowing the red light to pass through its afterimage, dealing a small amount of evasion damage.

When Fang Yu saw this scene, he knew that the other party had turned on 'overload'.

The overload state of the flexible build is a very special state, which maximizes the mana output of the core crystal, overdraws the life of the core crystal, and allows the flexible build to enter the burst zone.

For the Physics Department's flexible build, speed, power, and maneuverability will be increased in the overload state, and the cooldown of the ability module will be immediately reset in the overload state.

In the case of the Magic Guides Flexible Build, resetting the plug-in cooldown will also change the attack mode of the subsystem.

The Flame Ray subsystem's ability in an overloaded state is named 'Light Rain'.

As the name suggests, as if a golden rain of flames fell from the sky, seven red beams of light came one after another from the mist.

Unable to see what's in the fog, Fang Plover has activated the visual link - after reinventing the walker, it has in fact finally installed the subsystem plug-ins that it should have.

His right hand sank downward, only to see the 'Sword Plover' move a small step to the left to avoid the first ray; the second beam of light shot from the left side, Fang Yuan's mind moved, three magic buoys, seventeen standard movements, two left and right center of gravity modifications in one go.

The Pacer's three left blades pressed down, steadily letting the red beam of light brush against its shell.

If Guangyu wants to maximize coverage, there is a fixed order, it has three scanning modes from left to right, front to back, each with many classic examples, but these top combat craftsmen know the knowledge well, Fang Yuan is also in the chest.

The sword plover is left or right, or stops or walks, and the seven beams of light are intertwined indiscriminately, and the whole process is like walking like a cloud and water. But seeing the walker like a silver glow, riding out of the smoke, leaving behind him a low cry that I don't know whether it was pity or sigh.

Seven spots of light dimmed on the ground one after another.

Fang Yu checked the panel, and the evasion value was only lost by less than sixty percent, and the loss of balance was even more acceptable.

Momiji saw this scene and his mind buzzed, and a cold sweat came down.

Many images overlapped before her eyes, and they were the videos she had seen of the top combat craftsmen, their combat skills and combat experience.

Those incredible scenes of operation seem to have crossed the limitations of the two worlds and become one with the little walker in front of him. The other party's walker also seemed to be alive at this moment, and was no longer a dead thing.

The details and tendencies of those operations --

By no means a habit of operation of the first world combat craftsmen.

"Is it the Gray King or the student of the Twilight Executioner?"

"It's not quite like that, this spatial judgment, is it that person?" Momiji's fingertips are a little cold, but fortunately, the hard training has made her form a conditioned reflex, although her brain is a little confused for a while, but the movements of her hands are still subconsciously turned off overload.

This subtle operation was reflected on the black octahedron, and then Fang Yu saw it with the help of visual links, and he knew in his heart that the other party had used the overload tactic.

Overload, and overload tactics are two completely different concepts - all combat craftsmen use overloads, and he is no exception. But it's not overload tactics, it's about how combat craftsmen use overloads.

For most Combat Tinkerers, the overload state is an explosive state that goes all out, throws all skills away, and ends the overload state before the crystal core temperature is high enough to explode.

But overload streams are a special genre.

The core idea of this is to constantly switch between overload and normal states to allow the magic guide to flexibly construct more varied attack combinations. It also resets the skill cooldown due to overload, and also makes the opponent more uncertain about its attack interval.

As mentioned above, the birth of this genre is actually to make up for the rigidity and regularity of the flexible construction of the magic guide.

When Fang Yu saw this scene, he understood that the real challenge of this battle had arrived.

And in the eyes of everyone, it was the walker who suddenly became sluggish.

Gravity traps.

Even Fang Yu was a little surprised, the other party actually used the most traditional combination, I don't know if it is the opposite. Because the Shining Force Field cannot be replaced, and the other three attack methods have already appeared.

Fang Yu reacted quickly, and immediately activated the Swift Burst plug-in, overloading.

The walker, who had turned on the swift burst and overload state, jumped forward, intending to break free from the gravity trap, but as soon as it left the ground, Fang Yu felt bad in his heart.

Not jumping too short, but too high.

The opponent temporarily switches the overload state, and the effect of the gravity trap becomes anti-gravity.

The sword plover struggled to float in midair.

And at this time, Momiji really breathed a sigh of relief, with a triumphant smile on her face, she looked at Fang Yu not far away, raised her right hand wearing control gloves, and clenched her fist.

The Annihilator suddenly stopped spinning, and the four metal plates on the front suddenly slid to one side, revealing the core crystal behind it, and a bright cyan circle formed in front of the core crystal, slowly turning.

It was a sign of the release of the magic spear.

As the aether was compressed to a point, a bright cyan beam of light suddenly burst out, piercing through the mist and pointing at the walker in midair.

Everyone let out an exclamation, the Pacer is a land formation, it has no ability to maneuver in mid-air, and everyone understands in their hearts that the boy in the qualifiers-

Already lost.

People can't help but secretly feel a little pity in their hearts, it is the first time they have seen the players in the qualifiers fight so fiercely with the main players. If the boy had been a little higher and had used the Improved Walker, it wouldn't have been so passive in the gravity trap.

But it's precisely this time.

The voice of exclamation was suddenly replaced by an even more violent and incredible exclamation.

A clockwork fairy appeared on the field at some point, and it pierced through the mist like a golden glow, and slammed into the shell of the mid-air walker with a 'dang'.

Just before the cyan beam arrived.

Push it away.

The next moment the beam pierced through the clockwork elf, and the walker was pushed out of the gravity trap area, landing steadily on the ground.

There was silence on the field for a while.

Fang Yu also raised his head and smiled at the red leaves not far away.

Round 1, end -
