"As expected, you're planning something."
Facing the Blood Paladin's shocking declaration, Endless Arcane Mage said calmly.
To be able to reach his level, his IQ and observation skills were not something an average player could compare to. Previously, when he was fighting the Blood Paladin, he could almost kill him. But this time, although the Blood Paladin's HP kept dropping, there were no traps at all. It was as if he just wanted Endless Arcane Mage to keep attacking him.
Endless Arcane Mage noticed this, but he did not care about the Blood Paladin and kept attacking.
He also wanted to see what the Blood Paladin was planning.
"Hahaha, as expected of an expert. I knew I couldn't hide from you.
Fine, I'll let you see the strongest equipment in the game! "The Blood Paladin laughed.
"Substandard God Equipment, Space-Time Bracer!"
The Blood Paladin shouted and removed the equipment's restrictions. His wrist suddenly released a dazzling five-colored light!
"Substandard God Equipment?"
Endless Arcane Mage's pupils shrank.
In terms of skill and awareness, Endless Arcane Mage was not afraid of anyone. But in a game, what the strong players feared was even stronger equipment. Under the special effects of equipment, awareness and skill were often meaningless.
Looking at the five-colored light on the Blood Paladin's wrist, Endless Arcane Mage knew that the Blood Paladin was not lying.
Dark Gold equipment could not release such dazzling light!
"So what if it's a Substandard God Equipment?
I want to see what kind of power the legendary Substandard Divine Artifact has! "
Endless Arcane Mage calmed himself down and looked at the Blood Paladin.
The Blood Paladin's trump card was this Substandard God Equipment. But when he fought the Blood Paladin, he did not use his full strength!
If they fought at full strength, who would win and who would lose was unknown!
"Hahaha, don't worry. My Substandard God Equipment is just a support-type Substandard God Equipment. Also, you don't think that I spent so much effort just to deal with you, right?" The Blood Paladin looked at Endless Arcane Mage and laughed.
"Blood Sacrifice — Spatial Shift!"
Then, without waiting for Endless Arcane Mage to say anything, the Blood Paladin's arm that was wearing the Space-Time Bracer suddenly raised and shouted.
A blood-colored ring instantly bloomed from the Space-Time Bracer!
The ring shot into the air and spun rapidly above Endless Arcane Mage and the Blood Paladin.
Kacha!
Crack!
The sound of space shattering rang out. Countless Arcane Arts looked at the rapidly spinning blood-red light above their heads, their expressions finally changing.
Under the rapid rotation of the blood-red light, the sky within the halo was cut and disappeared, turning into a pitch-black void. Black lightning struck down from the void, as if doomsday had arrived.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Bolts of black lightning struck down. Endless Profound Magic thought that they were attacks. However, when he saw a flash of black lightning, Endless Profound Magic's expression became extremely confused.
After the black lightning flashed, a figure actually appeared there!
This figure was not a monster summoned by the Blood Paladin, but a black-named player in this map.
Every time a bolt of lightning struck, a figure would appear!
In the distance, in a place where the Endless Arcane Mages couldn't see and where there were players, streaks of black lightning suddenly emerged from the surrounding space, entangling the players and dragging them into the space.
"Don't run, you can't escape!"
Chen Mo chased after Blazing Wind. With the demon girl and Ceci Hailow around, Blazing Wind would definitely die if he got close to him.
However, at this moment, two streaks of lightning suddenly emerged from the space and pulled the two of them in.
Before Chen Mo and Blazing Wind could understand what was going on, they had already appeared under the blood-colored ring and arrived beside Endless Arcane Mage and the Blood Paladin.
"What's going on?"
Chen Mo glanced at his surroundings and was immediately taken aback.
There were a total of over forty players in the surroundings. The players who were still alive were all forced to come here?
Was this the work of an NPC?
No!
It was that Blood Paladin!
Chen Mo suspected that the NPC had come up with some new game rules. However, when he glanced at the Blood Paladin in the center of the ring, who had a victorious expression on his face, he knew that the person behind this was him.
"What's going on?"
"Why are they all gathered together?
These people … are all in the top ten! "
Everyone had been forcefully teleported here. When they reacted and saw that they were surrounded by black-named players, they were all shocked.
Endless Arcane Mage stared closely at the Blood Paladin. He had always been curious about what the Blood Paladin was planning. However, when he saw that the Blood Paladin had forcefully gathered all the black-named players here, he had a very bad premonition.
He had underestimated the Blood Paladin. The Blood Paladin's methods were probably much more terrifying than he had imagined!
"Hehehehe … Group Taunt!"
Looking at the forty players around him, the Blood Paladin chuckled. With a loud roar, he used a skill that Endless Arcane Mage had never imagined!
Group Taunt was a high-level skill of Shield Knights. After it was used, the Shield Knight could Taunt all the monsters in the target area at the same time and pull the aggro away.
However, even though it was a Group Taunt, the one the Blood Paladin used was extremely shocking!
The Blood Paladin roared and a grey ring of light instantly spread out. All the players within a radius of fifty meters, including the forty or so players who were still alive, were instantly Taunted by the Blood Paladin!
"What kind of sick skill is this?!"
Everyone was stunned. They had seen their fair share of Shield Knights, and many of them had seen AoE Taunt skills before. However, they had never heard of an AoE Taunt skill with such a frightening range and so many Taunts!
"This guy, what is he planning?
Is he seeking his own death? "
What made everyone even more confused was that the Blood Paladin's actions were undoubtedly seeking his own death!
AOE Taunt was a skill that pulled a lot of aggro. The target of the Taunt would attack the Shield Knight with all their strength. This was especially true for players. The first time they attacked after being Taunted, they would definitely choose one of the most powerful single-target skills they knew to attack the Shield Knight.
The Shield Knight wouldn't be afraid if it was just Taunted a few players. With a shield and a suitable defensive skill, they could easily block the skills of the Taunted players.
However, the black-named players here weren't like the normal players outside. Every one of them had extremely powerful single-target skills. With over forty of them attacking together, no matter how powerful the Blood Paladin was, only death would await him.
No one could understand, but under the effect of the AOE Taunt skill, almost every one of the forty players used one of their strongest attacks to attack the Blood Paladin!
Pitch-black arrows, frosty ice balls, and bucket-like lightning bolts … All of these attacks were extremely powerful, and any one of them would be hard to block. All of them flew toward the crimson Holy Knight with ferocious momentum!
The Blood Paladin was about to be annihilated by the large number of attacks in the blink of an eye!
Facing attacks from all directions, even if the Blood Paladin had extremely powerful defensive skills, he couldn't block all of them. At most, he could only block a small portion of them!
However, through the attacks, it was clear that the Blood Paladin wasn't afraid at all!
Just as the attacks were about to hit him, his body suddenly flashed with all kinds of lights!
He didn't use a shield to block the attacks. All the attacks landed on his body!
However … when the people who were Taunted looked over, they didn't see the damage that they expected. Instead, there was a faint golden light on the Blood Paladin's body.
"Invincibility Card!"
Someone seemed to have thought of something. However, he was shocked to find that above his head, a damage number of tens of thousands appeared. Then, he died without knowing why!
It wasn't just him. In the blink of an eye, over forty people around him died. Only a little more than ten people were left!
Nearly thirty people died in an instant!
"Three to five times the damage reflected!"
Chen Mo looked at the players who died collectively. The corner of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
He had never thought that this match would develop in such a way.
He didn't think much of the Blood Paladin before. Now, it seemed like he was completely wrong!
Not to mention other things, just the damage reflected skill alone was enough to make the Blood Paladin an extremely terrifying person!
As long as he seized the opportunity to reflect the damage, he would be invincible among the players at this stage!
It was no wonder that a Shield Paladin like him could come to the City of Sin with a black name and be ranked so high among everyone.
"As expected, you all used the Dispel Card to dispel the Taunt."
Seeing that Endless Arcane, Wild Panther Lady, Chen Mo, and Blazing Wind didn't lose any HP, the Blood Paladin smiled. He wasn't surprised at all.
Just as he said, Chen Mo and the others were fine. They were indeed Taunted. The moment they were about to attack, they didn't hesitate to use the Dispel Card to dispel the Taunt status on them.
How could the Blood Paladin commit suicide with such a big lineup?
The few of them felt that there was something fishy going on. They didn't hesitate to use the Dispel Card.
If not for that, they would have been killed by the Blood Paladin's Damage Reflected, just like the other black name players.
"This was your plan?
You used the damage I dealt to you to fulfill the activation condition of the Substandard Divine Weapon and then killed everyone in one fell swoop?
But now, it seems like your plan has gone down the drain! "
Endless Arcane looked at the corpses on the ground with lingering fear. He then looked coldly at the Blood Paladin.
Substandard Divine Weapon?
When Chen Mo and the others heard Endless Arcane's words, they couldn't help but be shocked. They looked at the Blood Paladin's wrist that was emitting a five-colored glow.
"Have you seen a Substandard Divine Weapon with only one skill effect?"
Looking at Endless Arcane, the Blood Paladin asked calmly.
After saying that, his body moved and suddenly appeared in front of a black name player not far from him. He slammed the shield in his hand down. A terrifying damage of over 8,000 appeared. The black name player was instantly killed!
