Arc 3: Chances
Chapter 118: Playoffs (Part 5)
After successfully digging from the ground, Hao Junya then activated his skills.
[ Immobilizing Talisman ]
[ Lightning Talisman ]
[ Fire Talisman ]
[ Ice Talisman ]
One by one he put them into the buried hole.
Ice Talisman is the one at the bottom and Immobilizing Talisman is at the top. The one he put at the top was the one he wanted to take effect first while the Ice talisman was the one he wanted to take effect last.
Talismans. A skill that was the exorcist class known for.
For the Exorcist Class players, talismans aren't just a skill but their secondary weapon just like the mechanic's mechanical box.
Unlike the mechanical box which is a permanent fixture to the mechanic, Talisman doesn't last long and permanently.
For the talisman skills to appear and be activated, the passive skill « Book of Exorcism » was a must to be learned and activated. It allows the players to unlock all talisman skills.
A max mastery of this passive skill grants a cooldown boost to all of the talisman skills and increased their effect and damages.
When they awakened on level 50, the Book of exorcism is upgraded and added functions are added.
It allows the talismans to be modified as long as they didn't distance themselves from their original purpose.
Just what have said earlier. Talismans are exorcists' secondary skills. This is both metaphorical and literal. The latter is because if you max out the Book of exorcism, it would allow you to unlock the option of choosing between a time limit or durability between your talismans.
Glory Exorcist Players have argued about what was the meta for the talismans. But currently time limit is more popular than durability.
Other than the Book of exorcism passive skill, the paper talisman passive skill is needed for the talismans. It was the passive skill that allows the exorcist players to store and release the talisman skills during battle or even outside the battle.
Unfortunately, the talismans stored in the inventory are bound items and only can be used by someone of the exorcist class.
With the paper talismans stored inside the inventory, if it was taken out from the inventory, it wouldn't count something as a skill but as an item. There would be no cooldowns if those paper talismans were used that came from the inventory.
If the passive skill paper talisman is maxed out, an exorcist player could store a total of 20 talismans for every kind of talisman in their inventory.
After using the talisman's skills, they were in the state of cooldown. After burying the talismans, he then used one of the most basic skills in Glory that don't need any class requirements « Bury »
The talismans were buried under the ground. After burying them, Skyline Express walks not too far from his 1st digging point and started his process of digging the ground, throwing talismans on the hole, and burying them over and over again around the holy hill. Eventually, all of Skyline's Express are used up. In total, there are total 30 digging points and 5 minutes have passed since the battle started.
Supposedly that nothing is happening and the two players haven't collided with each other, the audience is supposed to be already booing right now. But the audience was in a mixed state of intrigue, anticipation, excitement, confusion, and nervousness.
This is the first time that they see this method and they were anticipating the results of it.
On the other hand, the audience and members of Team Radiance were horrified.
What kind of method is this?! Is this supposed to be legal?! Fuck, a joke weapon being used like that...
The Captain and the members of team Radiance were nervous about the first player sent out by their team.
The first player, exorcist Brilliant Vanquisher on the other hand was growing impatient. His enemy Skyline Express is very hard to find. The coward had refused to meet him and battle head-on. He mustn't be confident in his skills if he wasn't answering. He keeps chatting in the game chat but Skyline Express refuses to answer him.
Eventually arriving on the west side of the map, he notices Skyline Express standing still. Brilliant Vanquisher feels invigorated when he saw his enemy.
[ Brilliant Vanquisher: Found you! Time to die Coward! ]
[ Skyline Express: Oh, you arrived. ]
Ignoring the recovering mana on Skyline Express, he uses his speed talisman and hardening talisman on himself and rushed forward.
With his speed, he made it to the center just standing very near Skyline Express and started attacking him. Skyline Express then immediately distances himself from him and keeps going in circles and avoiding his attack.
[ Brilliant Vanquisher: Fight me head-on or just GG if you keep dodging me! ]
[ Skyline Express: Informing Grand Caster of this experiment. you're right that this has a delayed reaction time. It was different from thief traps which are triggered instantly. Considering that normal paper talismans work okay and only took a few seconds to activate...Is the location the current problem? ]
[ Brilliant Vanquisher: What experiment? Why are you talking about your teammate?! What talismans?! You are not taking this battle seriously at all! ]
After Brilliant Vanquisher sent out those in-game chat messages, finally, the talismans buried under the digging point were triggered. Instantly, a swarm of skill effects immediately descended on Brilliant Vanquisher.
Contrasting a paper talisman to a thief's trap, even if a thief's trap is triggered instantly, they have a very short range compared to paper talisman skills which were equivalent to a mid-range. The effect range of paper talismans is inferior to the range of mage class spells but it has a range similar to a spell blade player boundaries.
With the delayed reaction and Brilliant Vanquisher using speed talisman on himself, he was currently located in the eye of the storm. When all of the delayed talismans took effect near him, it was over for Brilliant Vanquisher.
The first talisman to take effect on him was an immobilizing talisman. One immobilizing talisman last for 5 seconds if it was in the time limit mode. Currently, Brilliant Vanquisher was within the range of 10 digging points. The maximum amount of stack for Talismans effects is 10 times.
50 seconds immobilization
100 seconds lightning strikes descending from the sky
100 seconds of burning fires coming from the underground
and 100 seconds of freezing hell descending on Brilliant Vanquisher.
A brilliant Vanquisher is a fly that has fallen into a spider trap.
At the time of Brilliant Vanquisher's suffering, as he was helpless to counter the tribulations, Skyline Express merely stood and watched. Since he was the one that cast those talismans, he was unaffected by these effects.
When the effects of talismans ended, Skyline Express has only a mere 40 combo counted on his screen. But those mere 40 combo gives chills of fear to the audience.
Brilliant Vanquisher collapse to the ground his entire body covered in ice. The moment that his body makes contact with the ground, his avatar shattered to pieces and he separated into countless pieces of little lights before he disappeared entirely.
The first round of team radiance vs conquering clouds in the group challenge. Team Conquering Clouds won the first round.
Team Radiance looking at the lone figure of the exorcist standing still couldn't help but thinks that they were meeting King Yama himself and they were the sinners who must undergo the different 10 hells of the underworld.
