"What's going on with Nimble Snake?" Cao Chenghua asked, having paid attention to the system clock all this time. "Isn't he two levels higher than that Cleric girl?"
Nimble Snake had clearly been incapacitated for over 3.5 seconds now, yet, he was still Feared. Meanwhile, Violet Cloud had long since regained her freedom.
This series of events had shattered Cao Chenghua's understanding of God's Domain completely.
Even Zhao Yueru, who had thought that they had lost, was dumbfounded by what she saw.
Gentle Snow's gaze also held doubt as she watched the battle inside the arena.
The scene happening before her made no sense.
Among the crowd, only Shi Feng knew that Nimble Snake had fallen into a trap.
Compared to level suppression, tier suppression was far more powerful. It was like comparing the fist of an infant and a fist of an adult. The combatants were on completely different levels.
As a Tier 1 player, even if Violet Cloud fought a Tier 0 player who was ten levels above her, her control skills would be 100% effective or more. On the other hand, when a Tier 0 player used a control skill against a Tier 1 player ten levels below them, the effect of their control skills would weaken by at least 30%.
This was the harsh reality of gap in tiers.
This was why high-tiered players were so valuable and so overwhelmingly strong.
Before anyone in the spectator stands could properly analyze the situation, Violet Cloud sealed her opponent inside a dark and silent barrier. Nimble Snake felt as if he were locked inside a huge coffin.
This barrier stunned the watching crowd. Except for Shi Feng, of course.
Nobody knew how powerful this Black Coffin was, and they did not know what was special about it. However, every player present was an expert, and when the crowd looked at the pitch-black barrier, they felt their souls tremble with fear. The Black Coffin was like a giant beast, and only death awaited those who were devoured.
After trapping Nimble Snake inside the Black Coffin, Violet Cloud immediately distanced herself from it.
The Black Coffin would gradually dissipate after three seconds. By the time it vanished, Violet Cloud was already more than 20 yards away from Nimble Snake. Even if Nimble Snake wanted to launch a counterattack, he would find it extremely difficult to do so from such a distance.
_Eh? What's going on? Why didn't I receive any damage?_ Nimble Snake had originally thought he was dead for sure. After all, an advanced spell that took an entire second to cast must be frighteningly powerful. However, he was actually unharmed. _Is it because of my level that the spell's damage was nullified? Or maybe this is only a control spell?_
Nimble Snake relaxed. He then focused his gaze on the distant Violet Cloud.
Although this distance was slightly disadvantageous to him, he had many ways to resolve this minor problem.
Suddenly, Violet Cloud waved her staff, and Sacred Sanctions descended from the sky, falling towards the Assassin.
In response, Nimble Snake sneered as he started moving. With little effort, he dodged the attack and charged at Violet Cloud.
However, Nimble Snake quickly discovered that something was amiss. Somehow, his HP suddenly fell by 500 points, and a moment later, it had fallen by another 500 points. Nimble Snake only had slightly more than 3,100 HP. Now that he had suddenly lost 1,000 HP, he only had around 2,100 HP left.
