Capítulo 23: Chapter 22 - Welcoming the New System (Part 3)
As the match continues, the crowd's cheers grew louder and much fiercer. The current big screen focused on Troubling Rain battling against Laughing Song and Cloud Piercer. On another screen, one could see that the APM of Hou Siying is reaching 700.
He continued his focus attack on the cleric and just as the cleric finished casting Holy Heal on himself, Hou Siying suddenly changed target to Cloud Piercer. He even executed the Blade Master's strongest skill, Formless Phantom Blade.
[Announcer Yan: There it is! Formless Phantom Blade!]
The combo count for Troubling Rain went from 0 to 17 in almost an instant, making the crowd scream in admiration.
[Announcer Yan: Hou Siying did it! The highest record so far for Formless Phantom Blade was 15, held by Tiny Herb's former professional Player, Liu Xiaobie! But Hou Siying managed to get 17! Breaking the decade long record!]
As the announcer was focusing on Hou Siying's battle, the other did not realize that one of Blue Rain's players were missing from the battle. Even the players who are engaging in the tight match didn't realize it.
The first one to realize it was Samsara's spellblade. "Wait! Where is the Qi Master?!" he asked his teammates. It was only then did the rest noticed the missing Qi Master. They had been battling a 4v3 battle, but because of the summoner, it felt like a 7v3 instead. They failed to notice the Qi Master leaving mid-battle.
"Damn it! How long has it been since he's gone?" another asked while still focusing on their battle.
There was no answer because none of them noticed when the Qi Master went missing until the Spellblade player voiced it out.
Just then, Samsara's captain cursed out loud and when they glanced at the player's health, they saw that Cloud Piercer's and Laughing Song's health were completely emptied.
"We've been had! The Qi Master went over to help Troubling Rain!!"
"What Qi Master?! The one that came was Swoksaar!" the captain informed them. "Be careful! They're flanking you now!" he warned his team mates.
Unfortunately, even though they were already prepared, they were overwhelmed by the numbers and soon, all five names from Samsara turned grey.
The remaining player, Assassin Cruel Silence was just arriving at the scene of the massacre and faced with the full team of Blue Rain, all he can do was open his chat and typed 'GG' before he pulled out his card. Then the victory logo for Glory followed suit.
[Announcer Yan: GLORY!! The one to be the victor is Blue Rain Team! But before that, I bet everyone is confused as to how Swoksaar managed to help Troubling Rain so let's have a replay on the last few minutes of the match!]
As he said this, the big screen is now divided into two, showing both the 3v4 and 1v2 battle. Everyone saw the Qi Master leaving mid-way to go to their team's spawn area and be substituted with Swoksaar.
Swoksaar then circled around, avoiding the 3v3 battle and went straight to help Troubling Rain. Just as he arrived, Troubling Rain then used Formless Phantom Blade, making him the sole focus of everyone's attention. No one realized Swoksaar nearby has already started the casting for the Warlock's Death's Door.
The Death's Door is the prelude that sent the two players from Samsara to the bench. Then, the two players proceeded to join the 3v3 battle after properly killing the remaining cleric, turning it into a 5v3 massacre. Swoksaar released his skills without any restraint. Then, Samsara's assassin arrived. Facing five players alone would be asking too much even for a miracle so the only thing he can do is forfeit the match.
[Announcer Yan: At the end, it is just as Mr. Xiao expected! The key player in this match is none other than Hou Siying!]
[Xiao Shiqin: Indeed. He must've been under a lot of pressure. After all, though his job was to contain two players, he also needed to buy enough time for the Qi Master to sneak away undetected.]
[Chu Yunxiu: Yes. If the Qi Master disappeared early, their plan would've been found out. Also, if you guys noticed, though it looked like Player Hou is focusing on the cleric, he still dealt some damage to his other opponent bit by bit. But because the damage is too small, the cleric didn't bother healing.]
As Chu Yunxiu said, Samsara's cleric's heal was mostly on himself. It was only when he used Holy Heal on himself and Troubling Rain received information that Swoksaar is nearby did the Blade Master used Formless Phantom Blade on the sharpshooter, chipping away a lot of his health. This gives Swoksaar opportunity to unleash Death's Door.
[Xiao Shiqin: This gamble, Blue Rain has won spectacularly. Samsara probably did not prepare to fight on Mirror Plane at all and that came back to bite them hard from behind.]
While they were talking about the post-match, the players from both team has came out from their player booth and went forward to greet each other. After the handshake, Samsara team went down to go for an interview while Blue Rain team went up the stage to receive their trophy.
[Announcer Yan: And there you have it, everyone! The winner of Glory's 20th Championship! Team Blue Rain! Give them a round of applause!]
While everyone's focus was on Blue Rain players, no one noticed that a group of people were escorted by bodyguards dressed in black suit into the player booth. They did not even notice the staff carrying a bunch of headgear with the shape of a helmet inside.
Blue Rain owned the stage for a while before they go down in order to receive the interview. At this time, the owner of Glory, as well as the Chairman for Glory Professional Alliance, took the mic.
"Everyone, I hope all of you enjoyed the match earlier. A big congratulation to Blue Rain Team for winning the championship, and also congratulations to player, Hou Siying for creating a new record. I hope you will all continue to work hard and bring about a glorious match for all of our Glory fans," the first to speak was the owner of Glory.
"As you all know, twenty two years ago, Glory first launched and the player base is very small. Then, those player base begins to increase and finally, after two years, Glory's first championship began with the forming of Glory Professional Alliance," the owner added. He started to reminisce on Glory's growth and seemed to have been overwhelmed by nostalgia as he continued to speak.
If it wasn't for the Chairman of the alliance clearing his throat, the owner might carry on with his reminiscing and waste more time.
"Ahem! Anyway, everyone, please don't leave your seat yet. We have several announcement to make. Players from Samsara and Blue Rain, someone will bring you to your designated seat. First, I'll let Chairman Shen announce the first news!"
The chairman made a gesture to wave at the audience before he bowed down to greet them. Then he raised up his mic and began to speak.
"Everyone, after this championship, Glory will be taking a year off from the Champion League. Which means, the 21st Glory Championship will commence two years from now," the chairman announced and the audience started to become noisy. Some was asking why, while some were booing because their source of entertainment were taken away from them.
"I know, I know… Some of you guys are angry. Even the Professional Players down there is feeling nervous. I can assure you, nothing bad is happening to the Glory Professional Alliance and I promise you that after two years, we will return with a new and exciting format!"
At this, the booing stopped and the audience began to quiet down, wanting to hear more. The chairman now have their attention and couldn't help the big smile on his face.
"Unfortunately, I won't be announcing that format until the start of the next league!"
After dangling the food in front of the audience for so long, he then announced that he won't tell them what the new format was. This made the audience explode once more. But at this time, the big screen above them started to play and it became the focus of the audience's attention.
"Oh, it started already? Those players are too impatient!" the chairman said with a sigh. "It can't be helped. The big announcement will have to wait until after this extra match! Everyone! Make sure to feast your eyes! Because you are going to see a whole new world of Glory!!"
