Chapter 162.2: The great demon king is still the great demon king. (2/2)

Fight?

Baron was still hesitating when Close had already launched a surprise attack. He didn’t have any equipment, so his basic attack damage was very low. Fortunately, his blade flew over fast enough, breaking through Baron’s defense, which was close to zero.

At the end of the day, Baron was an immortal level jungler in the European competition zone. He reacted quickly and pulled away to face Close directly.

He’d chosen to start with the devil thief talent, which was squishy and fragile, but had a long range of attack.

Unfortunately, Close had chosen to upgrade shadow attack and assault. One of them allowed him to continuously brush out combo attacks, and the other one gave him two movement segments that he could use to get close to Baron.

Underwater combat wasn’t easy. Compared with fighting on the ground, the heroes moved more slowly and it required some time to adapt.

Baran was still getting used to it, but Close had ignored all obstacles and didn’t even concern himself with the suffocation value that was sending out warnings like crazy. He played like he was on land, perfectly predicting his opponent’s position and stabbing Baron in the back with every attack.

No way…

Baron was forced into shifting away continuously and was a little flustered.

If it went on like this, he would die in Falling Star Lake.

The game had only just started, and he hadn’t even gotten out of the outer ring yet. How could the game end like this?

Baron forced himself to calm down: His equipment was better than Close’s, and he had three skill points. If he fought against him directly, at worst, they would both lose.

No, wait!

Baron’s pupils contracted, and he realized what the problem was.

Close…

Chinese fans couldn’t understand foreign commentators, but there were also commentators in their own domestic live broadcast rooms.

They could see Close’s intentions through god’s perspective, “It’s all a cover!”

“Baron fell for it.”

“God Lu’s acting skills are superb!”

“Close seems to be attacking violently, catching Baron unprepared, but in fact, he’s using Baron’s understanding of the shadow thief to force him to move.”

“Indeed. As a jungler, Baron is too familiar with the shadow thief. His movements to avoid the assault are instinctive, and Close is using this point to force him to move positions. Baron really is avoiding Close’s attacks, but…”

“He’s also moving further away from those two skill points!”

The devil thief had the advantage of a longer range, but its disadvantage was that its movement skills covered a shorter distance.

Unlike the shadow thief whose second skill had two movement segments, the devil thief couldn’t span the distance and reach the two flashing skill points. However, this distance was just within the shadow thief’s range.

Underneath the azure water, Close left Baron behind and flashed over to the skill points after his movement skill had finished cooling down.

There was a ‘ding’ sound as Close successfully picked them up!

What did having two more skill points mean?

It was enough for the shadow thief to brush out light arcs!

What did Close’s light arcs mean?

Destruction of the heavens and the earth.

The audience in the live broadcast grew excited.

The visual effect of seeing nine light arcs in the canyon was amazing enough, but it turned out that nine light arcs underwater could be even more stunning.

Infinite rays of light lit up waves in the water, bubbles gushing out in huge waves at the bottom of the lake. They circled out one by one, picking up speed, then burst out with a bang. The entire Falling Star Lake vibrated with the shock.

Stars fell, and the lake sparkled.

At this moment, the audience suddenly understood the origin of the name for this zone.

Maybe it was unintentional, maybe it was just coincidence.

But when the nine light arcs exploded at the bottom of the lake, it was like the sea of stars had been born anew as the heavens and the earth were overturned.

Close came out of the water. The shadow thief’s cloak was stained with water, and his hood still covered his features, leaving only a thin chin that was cold, pale, and sharp.

First Blood had been obtained in a way that couldn’t be questioned. Close had also looted the three skill points and iron sword that Baron had dropped after his death.

First Blood came with a special reward, but nobody knew what it was.

On the other side, Wei Xiao had also picked up Soo Chanhee’s skill points and equipment.

At the same time, kill rankings came out on the live broadcast platforms from all the competition zones around the world.

The players in the big brawl couldn’t see it, but the audience could see it clearly.

1st place: Close.

2nd place: I Like Close The Most.

3rd place: Marshal.

4th place: Xiehe.

They all had one kill each, and the rankings were based on the kill time.

Although this ranking was temporary, it was enough to let the Chinese audience go wild with joy.

In the global opening game, FTW had achieved a god level start!
