Chapter 1559: He Can Still Heal
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Mu Qiu was equipped with T2 armor and the weapon he wielded was the Greatsword of the Brotherhood. He had had already reached the highest point of the current version of Dawn.
Such a strong, powerful Paladin...how would his performance be on stage?
Many people were paying attention to this relatively amateur match. Apart from the multitude of Paladin players, there were also a lot of heavyweights from the gaming circle. They weren’t watching for who would win or lose this round, but rather whether Mu Qiu’s transformation from healing to damage would be successful or not.
If Mu Qiu really was successful, then everyone’s focus on Ruling Sword’s strategy would have to be reassessed.
Now, Ruling Sword’s lineup was growing stronger and stronger. Originally, it was just Lu Li and Moonlight who provided the team with DPS, while the others were better at providing support. On the backline, they added Fat Monkey and Kitty Likes Meat. While they weren’t mature enough yet, their performances were still completely commendable.
In everyone’s eyes, Mu Qiu was not that different from Sakura Memories, having a more marginalised existence.
Now, he wanted to shatter those set images that others held in their hearts. Switching from healing to DPS really was a giant leap.
The first opponent was a Mage. Mages completely dominated Paladins, or at least that was the case in this current update.
The Mage who entered the stage was a little nervous. It wasn’t that he felt inferior to Mu Qiu, but he was excitedly thinking about the glory after he defeated a celebrity competitor.
The battle could commence at any time. Mu Qiu began by pressing toward the opponent, his sword flooding with white light. He brought it down with force and smashed the Mage head-on.
The Mage jumped in fright and quickly used Blink to create some separation.
However, his reactions were a bit late. Having not escaped in time, his unshielded self took a direct hit from the sword and he lost a quarter of his HP. The audience cried out in alarm, with a few cheers mixed in as well. They were the cheers of Paladins. Seeing this sword attack of Mu Qiu’s, they now had faith.
Paladins were very weak; there were very few roles weaker than Paladins.
Playing PVP in the Wild as a Paladin was difficult against Warriors and Thieves, let alone against an all-controlling Mage. However, in an Instance Dungeon, teams valued their Auras, their Laying on Hands and their defense.
Everyone saw from this stage that as long as you had good equipment, even a Paladin was able to cut a Mage’s HP in half.
Of course, those people with true foresight weren’t so optimistic. There was a difference in equipment since the beginning, and the Mage didn’t have his shield. In this situation, when a close-range role went in for the attack, even if it wasn’t the Greatsword of the Brotherhood, there probably would have still been some similar damage.
This Mage from the so-called Imperial Harem group was a little flustered.
Without his calm complacency that came from underestimating Paladins, he quickly went about buffing his Attributes and placing on a shield. Then, he began to attack his opponent.
During this time, Mu Qiu patiently waited. Only after the attack ended did Mu Qiu attack.
The damage that the Mage did on him was almost pitiful. After all, being a Plate Armor role, he had high protection, and there was a vast difference in the equipment of both sides. At the very least, this Mage didn’t have a single piece of T2 equipment. After evaluating the damage that he took, Mu Qiu once again stepped forwards.
When a Mage fought against most close-combat players, they needed to maintain their distance.
However, the Mage evidently wasn’t capable of this, so Mu Qiu stuck to him and kept attacking him. The battle concluded very quickly.
The second opponent was a Warrior. The team leader of the Imperial Harem thought that a ranged role wouldn’t have an advantage, so he simply sent a melee player to face Mu Qiu head on.
“Mu Qiu’s already fought one round and still has 65% HP remaining. Lu Li, do you think he’s still able to deal with the next opponent?” Dark Wind asked in a passionate tone. This person was able to speak well in any sort of style. In any case, Lu Li wasn’t able to commentate in such a compelling way.
“You guess if I’ll guess or not,” Lu Li joked.
“Hey, if you’re gonna be like then it’s not fun,” Dark Wind said, looking at Lu Li with hidden bitterness.
“You’re having a lot of fun, but making me guess on such a question without any sensitivity – you’re insulting my intelligence,” Lu Li disdainfully responded.
“Don’t be like that. Even if you have faith in Mu Qiu, you don’t have to refrain from guessing,” Dark Wind said.
“How about this – we’ll both guess. I guess that Mu Qiu will fight to the end of this arena. What about you?” Lu Li suggested with a provoking look at his partner.
“So you mean that he’ll fight to the third round, and still win?” Dark Wind wasn’t originally ready for this, but what Lu Li said seemed to be a bit too much. Even if Mu Qiu was doing relatively well, much better than expected, Imperial Harem still had some firepower.
“If he loses, I’ll answer the question. If he wins, I get the right to not answer a question once. What do you think?” Lu Li asked calmly.
“I’ll also gamble. Same as Lu Li – if you win, I’ll answer a question, if you lose, I’ll also get a chance to avoid a question,” Water Fairy added from behind.
“Could it be that you and Mu Qiu fought before and knew that he’s really quite amazing?” Dark Wind asked suspiciously.
“No,” Water Fairy said.
“Then why do you have so much confidence in him?” Dark Wind couldn’t understand.
“I’m not placing my confidence in him. I have confidence in Lu Li,” Water Fairy said, as if it were obvious.
“Pfft.” Dark Wind covered his face in gloom. “Fine, I’ll do it. Anyway, I don’t believe Mu Qiu can kill two of them. You two just look at the arena now – Mu Qiu doesn’t have a lot of HP left. It looks like he can’t even finish off this Warrior.
“Why does everyone overlook that he was once a healer?” Lu Li asked, quietly sparking a lightbulb moment in Dark Wind’s head.
At this time, something unforeseen had already happened on the arena. Mu Qiu’s HP had dropped by over half, and the Beserker was secretly happy, because this professional competitor would be slain at his own hands.
Who would’ve thought that Mu Qiu would suddenly lift up his hands and restore his HP.
Woah!
Sounds of agitation rose from the whole crowd. Everyone only realised in hindsight that Mu Qiu was originally a healing player. He had changed his equipment and learnt new skills, and also reset those skills points through doing quests. However, all this didn’t change the fact that he was once a healing Paladin.
All the skills that a healing Paladin could perform, Mu Qiu could as well, and he was still particularly proficient at them as well.
His HP bar didn’t rise by much. After all, he was equipped head to toe with damage equipment. However, this action was enough to destroy the Beserker’s confidence and make him nervous.
Dark Wind knew that he had already lost, and that he was too smug with himself. He thought that he could play around with Lu Li and Water Fairy like they were in the palm of his hand. However, he didn’t think about the obvious fact that Mu Qiu was originally a healing Paladin.
Actually, most people really wouldn’t have considered such a thing. After all, even if he could heal himself, he wouldn’t necessarily be able to fight his way through three rounds. If everyone was able to do this, then wouldn’t Paladins, Druids and Shamans just dominate the arena?
