Chapter 148 What are you looking at, I'm out!

Mad Blade was crackling with electricity, the light and shadow effects were gorgeous, and his swagger soared.

"So, I got my Mechanical Affinity." Han Xiao was watching Mad Blade's match, and he couldn't help but smile and say, "This kid is really lucky, he actually got this."

Through the status bar, the audience saw Han Xiao's name hanging on this buff, and they were greatly surprised.

Making an appearance in the player's league in this way, Han Da Mechanic felt very novel. When he was manufacturing ability potions, he just had a whim. Now it seems that in addition to making money for himself, it also gave him a wave of popularity.

Players were very familiar with the name Black Star, but they didn't expect to see Han Xiao's character descending card in the game. They felt unexpected, but after thinking about it, Mad Blade... no, the Huaxia players were all mixed up with Han Xiao in the interstellar world. It seemed normal to have Han Xiao's character descending card.

The problem is that the effect of this character card is too strong, right? A 2.5x mechanical bonus, who can stop it at this stage?!

All of Han Xiao's personal attributes were question marks in the player's detection information. They never knew his true level. Now, there was finally a clue. A base of 2.5x affinity. No wonder he was so strong. This was probably above level 100!

Han Xiao had always been a gospel in the eyes of mechanical players. At this time, Mad Blade showed the tip of the iceberg of his strength, making the mechanical players watching the game feel excited, as if they saw the great prospects of their profession.

Bang bang bang!

Mad Blade didn't dare to delay any time, he strode forward, frantically stabbing with his gun, and blasting in a series of explosions. Even if Solomon's Key tried his best to dodge the attack, the increased aftermath of the power could make his health drop chunk by chunk. Soon, it dropped to about 40%. The magic shield he summoned couldn't block a single blow.

A dozen seconds ago, Mad Blade was being beaten, but at this time, the scene was reversed. Solomon's Key had no power to fight back and didn't dare to distract himself with counterattacks. If he didn't dodge a single move, he would be gone.

"This buff's increase to the Mechanical class is too terrifying. At this rate, I have no chance of winning."

After the shock just now, Solomon's Key quickly adjusted his mentality, his expression gloomy. He originally thought that winning this game was a sure thing, but he didn't expect his opponent to have such a powerful trump card hidden.

Solomon's Key also had a trump card hidden. He originally planned to deliberately lose the subsequent games after winning this game, so that he could just barely qualify, and leave the trump card for the finals. However, Mad Blade forced him to change his plan. If he kept the trump card, he would definitely lose. If he lost this one, he couldn't let the next few go, and his opponents were all strong enemies. He couldn't save his strength and would have to use his trump card. In that case, it was better to use it now. As long as he could win this game, everything would be fine.

Mad Blade's sudden eruption did surprise him, but Solomon's Key quickly found a way to deal with it - he admitted that during the [Black Star Descends] period, Mad Blade was almost invincible. Anyone who went up would die. But the state only lasted for three minutes. As long as he could drag it out, he would still have a chance of winning!

Coincidentally, his trump card [Howling Gate] had such an effect!

Whoosh!

Solomon's Key used his last displacement skill [Flame Leap], disappeared from the spot, appeared in a sea of fire, pulled away more than twenty meters, quickly tore off his necklace, pressed it on the ground, and his mana instantly plummeted by 40%. The surging magic power emitted a hazy blue light, poured into the necklace, and bloomed with dazzling brilliance. At the same time, Solomon's Key began to chant.

"Spread the frost of death, extinguish the sacred fire of life, build a bridge with the blood of the demon race, the most elite invaders, please respond to my call, let our enemies witness the winter that will freeze the world..."

Woo... Hum...

A hollow voice, as if from the void, sounded, and a magic-formed ice-blue light gate rose from the ground. Nether blue flames danced, blocking Solomon's Key, as high as four meters. Inside the door was a vortex-like magic power, and a group of three-meter-tall, strong demon warriors walked out of the light gate, wearing black metal armor covered with spikes, carrying black, solidified blood scabs on their hands, holding magic crossbows that flickered with an ice-blue halo, and in the front, swinging a chain hammer, riding a demon wolf beast ranger, a total of five demons.

This was a phantom entity of a scout squad of the Extinguishing Legion.

"He's... a Summoner!!"

The commentator's tone suddenly rose, almost breaking his voice.

The audience's faces changed drastically.

One word could sum up the image of summoners in the minds of players:

——Beast!

In the previous life, the magic summoning stream and the mechanical legion stream were known as the two major rogues. Balance? Technicality? Sorry, I've never heard of those things, I'm just strong!

The sea of people drowns the enemy. If there are enough summons, players can fight against many enemies. At the current stage, the legion stream is still nowhere to be seen, but the summoning stream is beginning to show its head.

Of course, powerful genres naturally have their limitations. Summoning spells have a failure rate, and they require a spell medium. Some are specific summoning props, some require certain abilities, and some require signing a contract with the summon. There are also several forms of summons, such as real entities, unique and irreplaceable, and once they die, they are gone. Solomon's Key summons phantom entities, similar to copies of monsters in dungeons. If they die, they can be summoned again, endlessly. Real entities are mostly elite summons, while phantom entities are used as cannon fodder. His [Howling Gate] is a pink rare level 60 summoning prop that can summon a phantom of a demon scout squad.

Demon scouts are a specialty of the Extinguishing Legion. [Howling Gate] is a personal challenge mission, with a high difficulty. It could only be completed above level 60, but the Koy Club used its team strength to help Solomon's Key get this pink prop!

The attributes of these five demon scouts appeared in the status bar, with 2500 health, 134~197 attack power, and 40 defense. At this level, the summoning stream is far from being fully formed. Ordinary summoners can only summon small fry such as forest wolves and poisonous snakes, whose attributes are less than a third of those of demon scouts. He can summon five demon scouts at once!

What is this concept? A level 60 Martial Arts player has about 3,000 to 4,000 health. These five demon scouts are roughly equal to the health of three martial artists, and their damage is also very considerable. The highest theoretical damage of a round of focused fire is nearly 1,000 points!

This is Solomon's Key's confidence in being almost invincible in single combat. Not only is he a Frostfire Demon Mage, but he can also switch to the Summoning stream at any time, making him extremely powerful.

The audience was still sighing at the power of [Black Star Descends], but the situation took another turn, leaving everyone stunned.

"Damn, summoning a bunch of elite monsters, it's no different from a Boss!"

"He has this move?! Is this guy a dog?!"

Solomon's Key had the demon scout ranger and two demon axemen surround Mad Blade, while two crossbowmen guarded him and fired from a distance.

He didn't have much health left and was very afraid of Mad Blade's attack power, so he hid behind the crossbowmen.

Mad Blade's expression was serious. He raised his shield and held his gun, and strode forward. The steel armor collided heavily with the three demons, making a loud bang. The impact burst the surrounding air, and the audience felt that the screen was shaking.

Boom! Crack!

Immediately afterwards, the gun's spear tip released exploding smoke and electric sparks. Mad Blade swung a horizontal sweep, hitting three demons at the same time. The audience could see that a quarter of the health of the three demon scouts disappeared in an instant.

With the blessing of [Black Star Descends], Mad Blade's damage was extremely terrifying. Not only that, but the armor's defense was also greatly increased, making him unafraid of the siege.

"As long as I can hold on for three minutes..." Solomon's Key was annoyed. In his eyes, the first time [Howling Gate] was shown to the world should have been a hearty and overwhelming victory. However, the first time he used it, it was actually to delay his opponent and cover his retreat.

Embarrassing!

Just as the two were fighting fiercely, the number of viewers was climbing steadily. This match was full of twists and turns and attracted more and more viewers.

The appearance of summoning made the audience think that the situation would change again, or at least become evenly matched again. However, the following scene was still Mad Blade's one-man show, single-handedly beating a team of demon scouts. The summoner who was supposed to crush his opponent was still being beaten by Mad Blade.

"...The summoner is a very powerful class, um... Although Solomon's Key is at an absolute disadvantage now, this does not affect the power of the summoner..." The commentator was originally analyzing the reasons for the summoner's strength to the audience. Watching this scene, he felt that it was less convincing and could only bite the bullet and continue.

This is not reasonable!

Many participating players were also watching this match with heavy hearts. "Solomon's Key has a powerful summoning prop. Unlike Mad Blade's Rage Sword's one-time character card, his summoning technique can be used all the time. This guy is a strong enemy, and we must formulate a targeted plan early..."

Although the participating players from various countries were more afraid of Solomon's Key, they couldn't help but rejoice, "It's a good thing that this [Black Star Descends] state is only a one-time thing, otherwise, what's the point..."

…

Solomon's Key felt that this was the longest three minutes. The demon scouts, on whom he had placed high hopes, were all chopped up by Mad Blade like vegetables. Looking at the time, only two minutes had passed. Mad Blade's state could last at least thirty seconds, but he had already exhausted his tricks.

The audience was happy to see this.

"Awesome, a three-minute true man, killing anyone who blocks him, creating a new world!"

"What Black Star Descends, this move is clearly called Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique!"

"Summoners can still be beaten? What a disgrace, take off your skirt!"

"Solomon's Key: What can I do, I'm also very desperate!"

"This is like a high-level account bullying newbies. Hey, speaking of which, with so many extra mechanical bonuses, Mad Blade Rage Sword is indeed equivalent to a high-level account."

"Haha, I'm laughing to death. This summoner is like being wiped out by a team in a Boss dungeon. Look at his little eyes, so confused."

Puff!

The gun smoothly pierced into Solomon's Key's chest. He grabbed the spear, with a look of unwillingness and anger. He used his trump card and still lost, and he let others know his trump card in advance.

This battle was a total loss, losing both his wife and his army!

Boom!!

The explosion occurred in his body, taking away the last bit of health. Solomon's Key turned into white light and died.

The commentator waved his fist, his tone excited.

"What a wonderful battle, congratulations to Mad Blade Rage Sword for winning the final victory!"

…

The viewership of this match was extremely high, and the number of replays quickly increased. Players from all over the world were talking about this match, especially the summoning stream being beaten, which was a pleasure to see.

Because Mad Blade relied on the [Black Star Descends] buff to beat his opponent, he indirectly gave Han Xiao a wave of exposure.

This mysterious NPC character, who had been active in the players' eyes since the server opened, finally revealed the tip of the iceberg of his strength. Han Da Mechanic now had his own topics. His past deeds were made into memes by players. As long as there were related posts, it was easy to attract a bunch of people to play with the memes on the forum. This time, it triggered players' speculation about his abilities, guessing what skills this mechanic had, what genre he was, and so on.

Mad Blade defeated a strong enemy, and his hope of qualifying increased. Solomon's Key's biggest trump card was forced out, but he lost in the end. The summoner, who should have been like a Boss, became the one fighting the Boss. In the post-match interview, many reporters asked Solomon's Key about his feelings as a summoner being beaten, as if they were stabbing him hard in his heart, and he left angrily.

In fact, his [Howling Gate] was indeed very powerful. In the subsequent group stage, in order to ensure his qualification, he had to go all out and use [Howling Gate] to defeat one strong enemy after another, showing the power of the summoner. However, the better he performed, the more it highlighted the abnormality of Mad Blade... It's not accurate to say that, it should be said that the Han Xiao character card was abnormal.

Mad Blade got rid of the entanglement of post-match interviews and hurried back to the hub base, happily going to find Han Xiao. He had tasted the sweetness of the ability potion, turning the tide of the battle. Such a good thing was as much as possible.

When he came to Han Xiao's room, the people from Dynasty, Temple of God, and Sky were already gathered around Han Xiao. They had all watched the match and were scrambling to buy Black Star's ability potion.

However, there were no new goods in the store interface.

Everyone looked up, staring at Han Xiao expectantly. This scene gave Han Xiao a kind of illusion, as if these players were little pigs waiting to be fed, and he had become a mother pig feeding milk.

"What are you looking at? Want ability potions? No more!"

Han Xiao chased everyone out.

You little rascals, the potion is made from my blood. Once is enough. Satisfying you would drain me dry.
