Boom! Boom! Boom!
After the first series of exchanges, both sides had already suffered a decent damage due to the powerful skills and spells of the opposing side.
During this ti, both the healers of the teams quickly raised their staffs and cast a series of healing spells to restore the health of everyone, followed by a series of buffs to boost the overall stats of everyone.
During the first few exchanges, the side of the Earners rcenary Group learned that they were at a slight disadvantage due to the opposing side going all-out.
Shin and the others had instantly gone using their respective Elental Spirit Possession, putting their opposition in serious trouble.
Fortunately, the mbers of the Earners rcenary Group had already prepared themselves for this situation. They had used their respective ans to boost their strength while also relying on the special combination techniques that they had learned from their Great rcenary Leader.
They were not that worse compared to the mbers of Empyrean Talons if it was just about their individual abilities. But their respective classes and additional ans were not as good as the latter, particularly when compared to Shin, Alice, Leonard, and Diablo, who had Transcendent Classes and Races.
But they had already expected this to happen, which was why the mysterious leader of their rcenary Group had granted them the special items and equipnt that they could use in this very situation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
They might be losing went it ca to solo battles. But together, their side had a huge advantage due to the equipnt set that they were wearing.
"Tsk! They are using a special equipnt set! And they have the ability to make each mber of their group stronger," comnted Diablo as he circled behind their opponents, planning to target their backline.
"I thought that they were only using a similar-looking set of equipnt as a uniform and trying to look cool," Leonard chuckled as he retreated from the barrage of spells Flouree was sending him. "But it looks like it is the Formation Equipnt that has beco famous recently."
"Formation Equipnt?" asked Shin as he warded off the attempts of Sakura and Yamamoto to break through him.
"Yeah. It is a special set of equipnt that has a series of magical arrays engraved within it. This magical array can resonate with one another so long as soone with a similar set is near them. The more players with such equipnt set on their side, the stronger the effects they can get from it," replied Leonard.
"It has also been very famous recently," comnted Alucard as he attempted to shoot Flouree from his position, only to be blocked by Sylas, who was left to protect their backline mbers. "I think it is revealed to everyone right after that Plague Lands Event that the Commander and Vice Commander have cleared."
"The top guilds and other huge organizations are trying to find as many sets as they can during these last few days, as it will be a great opportunity to increase the strength of their forces. But who will think that the Earners rcenary Group is already quite ahead of everyone?"
"Not only that, but their equipnt set also seems to be at the very best quality on top of everything," he added as he looked for another spot to slide down the opposing side.
Hearing that, Shin could not help but slightly furrow his brows under his mask, finding the situation a little troubleso.
He had already noticed the special features of the equipnt set that the opposing side was wearing through his True Sight. He could also 'see' the intangible link that they had from one another, which seed to be connecting their powers.
He only thought that it was their special technique, but who would have thought that it was a linked magical array of their equipnt?
Aside from this, Shin could also see that the power that this special formation possessed was slowly growing stronger as the battle progressed.
Moreover, they were centered at Flouree and Sylas, who were only staying at the rear of their opponent's battle formation.
Shin had been observing the movents of the opposing side and had almost learned their respective abilities throughout the battle. Only that Sylas guy was the only person who had yet to showcase his powers to everyone.
As a Godlike Player with an official title, his details were supposed to be available for everyone. Leonard, as a veteran god of the ga, should also be familiar with such a person.
But who would have thought that even the Godlike Players on their side would have no information about this guy?
'How does he beco a Godlike Player and earn such a title if no one knows about him?' mumbled Shin in suspicion.
Unlike the others, who were wary of the Magical Arrays engraved on the equipnt of everyone, Shin was more concerned about this mysterious Godlike Player and Flouree, who had yet to reveal her true capabilities.
As he thought along this ti, he could not help but recall the conditions to beco a Godlike Player. Aside from winning and participating in official tournants of the ga, the other ans to earn such a title was to possess a Godly Challenge Right and challenge so famous and powerful Godlike Players.
Either surviving the fight and ending it in a draw or winning altogether in three matches would be more than enough to earn themselves the title of being a Godlike Player, similar to what he had done.
'Could this guy be soone who has won an official ranking battle just like , Archides, and Daulla? Then he challenged so powerful Godlike Players in secret to earn himself his current position from the system.' He suspected.
The more he thought about this, the more convinced Shin beca.
"Let's test his skills for a mont," mumbled Shin before giving an order to Diablo. "Diablo, try testing the waters with that Sylas guy. Let's see his skills."
"Roger that!" Diablo quickly accelerated his speed while hiding in the shadows, charging straight to Flouree and Matilda.
Since Sylas was in charge of protecting the rear, Diablo intended to lure him toward him, which would also give Alucard a perfect opportunity and a clear shot in return.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
But before he could even reach his target, a series of magic circles suddenly appeared on the ground, seemingly traps that had been triggered right after being stepped on.
Despite realizing that he was in trouble, Diablo initiated contact with the traps while accelerating his speed.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
He left a series of afterimages behind him, barely dodging each of the spells that were triggered right after he stepped upon them.
Those at the backline of the Earners rcenary Group quickly responded, adjusting their positions in response.
Crimson, who was the marksman of the group took over Flouree's role of supporting those at the frontline with his powerful firepower, using his cannons to provide cover for Sakura, Wang Zhou, and Yamamoto, who were fighting Shin and the others head-on.
anwhile, Sylas charged straight to Diablo, who was about to reach them from a tricky angle.
Flouree had also focused her spells on the incoming Shadow Dancer, limiting the options that the latter could choose from, while Matilda focused her healing and buffing spells on Sylas.
While Diablo was dodging the spells sent by Flouree toward his direction with the help of his movent techniques, Sylas suddenly enveloped his entire body with a blinding light, which swiftly moved toward his arms before turning into a pair of broadswords.
Diablo knitted his brows for a mont as he could sense the intense threat coming from the latter.
But he continued to charge forward while enveloping his weapons with Ancient Shadow Energy.
He then transford into multiple shadows that charged at the group from different angles, confusing the opposing party with his insane speed and complex movents.
Seeing this, Sylas suddenly adjusted his advance before suddenly swinging his broadswords made of light, which produced a series of crescent waves that flew in every direction.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Diablo paused for a mont as he found those movents a little familiar. He felt that he had seen these movents sowhere before.
After destroying all the afterimages that Diablo had created, Sylas suddenly clashed with his real body, forcing him to retreat a little.
But before Diablo could even retreat, Sylas had suddenly increased his speed and heightened the pace of his attacks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
This forced Diablo to exchange a few more blows against Sylas, which delayed his retreat.
But what confused Diablo was the movents that the other party was using. It was too familiar for him not to notice. 'These movents-... they are similar to what Shin and others are using, but with a slight variation to complent his style.'
Thinking about this, Diablo could not help but frown grimly. 'Don't tell , this guy is copying their movents?'
That was when his gaze locked on the latter's eyes. It was also when he noticed Sylas's strange pupils, which gave him the sa feeling as his 'Demon Eyes.' 'Don't tell this guy also has a system similar to my father's.'
Realizing this, Diablo quickly went to inform Shin and the others about his discovery, warning them that they could not let this match drag on for much longer.
