Chapter 89 - Championship (7)

The tension spread like a wild fire refusing to be subdued inside the gym!

William's movement of his character was too perfect to see in the eye. It was one of the proofs that their squad had not only money but also skills.

"Good choice of tank, Young Master William! I am also a tank user and I know that this character is hard to maneuver!" someone that was sitting on the front seat of the bleacher loudly praised William's performance.

"Oh wow! The tank of the Lee Gaming squad was really good at executing the ultimate skill of the bear. If it was me playing that character, I will surely become a feeder!" another audience on the backside applauded.

"That's right! Not all players can master this character because of the risky close combat," the audience sitting next to her muttered in agreement. 

Those who were watching actively all the match could only mutter the same thing!

"Would CEO UNRIVALED die from the enemy marksman bullets? Surely with the sound of three gunshots, any character would not be able to recover their HP back!"

Everyone followed the same question. With Sofia's tank having low HP there was no doubt, the three bullets from the gunner of Lee Gaming's squad were more than enough to end her life. 

The majority of their attention was focused not on William's execution of his ultimate but on the HP bar of CEO UNRIVALED.

It was too eye catching to be ignored!

Sofia's character was also hit by William's tank making her HP on the critical bar line.

"Nice hit!" Sofia muttered in her seat. But her face maintained an unbothered expression despite the HP of her character. If only her audience could read her mind, they would surely be shocked!

All the audience could guess this result but the two commentators have seen a different possibility. 

"The Chronos squad continues to attack the giant mutant that is about to die! Can they sustain against the harassment of their enemies though?" the older commentator asked. But he had realized something after speaking his remarks.

He saw a probability that CEO UNRIVALED would remain alive even if the clash between two squads ensued!

"There was a small chance for the tank to survive! If the Chronos squad can play in full synchrony then, they can make it!" the younger commentator also recognized the probability of Sofia's character to survive.

In the bleacher's area, some audience also voiced their opinions.

"If the tank dies, it is worth it as long as they got the last hit of the giant mutant."

"Yes, as long as they gain the giant mutant! But their HP was low now. How are they going to contest the kill of this NPC?"

"There is no way for the tank of the Chronos squad would survive! Her HP was very low! And ll the Lee Gaming squad is sending an attack! She will never be able to withstand!"

"If the Chronos squad tank dies and the Lee Gaming squad gets the giant mutant, then, it would be a victory right away! Lee Gaming squad will surely win!"

The audience noise began to get louder and louder while watching the clash of the two sides. The screen had become chaotic again. 

All players utilized their skills causing an explosion animation and other effects near the giant mutant.

Seconds passed and CEO UNRIVALED dropped her HP to 2% after the final bullet hit her!

"OH NO! One a hit of CEO UNRIVALED and The Chronos squad tank is dead!" one audience shouted as he could not contain his excitement. The people near him laughed slightly and continued but did not respond to him.

On the large screen, the perspective focused directly on Sofia's tank. 

After reaching the lowest HP status she had ever experienced, she moved a little bit to avoid the other attacks from her opponents. There was not even a single line that can be seen virtually on the HP bar of her character as it stood on the side, trying to avoid the opponents. 

She had reached almost equivalent to zero... but the online game still relied on statistics.  Almost does not define absolute value.

Therefore, even if it is 2% or .1%, as long as the HP had not yet fully drained, the character can still be salvage!

Brent smiled as he anticipated that CEO UNRIVALED would die. "One hit and I'll get this kill!"

But before he could witness his opponent's tank fall on the ground, the announcement of the giant mutant's death prompted on his screen. He almost dropped his jaw on the floor at what he had read on the screen.

The Chronos Squad - Dangerous Predator killed the Giant Mutant!

"What! Damn!!! Fight!! Fight!!!" William angrily pressed the skills on his screen as he became more aggressive.

He also noticed the critical HP of Sofia, but, she was too far from her. The nearest opponent that she could pick was Claire's assassin.

Meanwhile, on the side of the Chronos squad, all members mentally leaped in joy after seeing that it was Stephen's marksman who got the last hit of the mutant!

Dangerous Predator, who had sent a single arrow by pressing his passive skill performed the perfect timing!

Even if their opponents were casting other skills and ultimate, he still got the last hit!

However, killing the giant mutant was just the start of their real conflict! 

"What a lucky hit! Now the Chronos has gained another ally! The giant mutant would definitely give them an upper hand despite the level gap of their characters!" the older commentator clapped his hands together with the audience on the bleachers. 

The crowd immediately broke into cheers after the system announcement prompted on the large screen. Soon after, they were yelling by the next series of actions the players displayed!

Sofia's most critical HP was restored by another 5 percent as Joey cast a heal on her. Now, she had a 7% HP in total which made the Lee Gaming squad felt grieved.

She did sustain the attacks!

"Hitting a tank is really a tricky decision! It is better if the Lee Gaming squad targeted the Chronos support to prevent him from healing his allies!" the older commentator immediately analyzed the progress of the game. To him, it was still the healer who must be killed first. Despite if the tank had the lowest HP, if an ally healer is next, it would be easy to recover.

Not only the Lee Gaming squad failed to steal the giant mutant, they had not yet killed anyone from their opponent's side yet!

"ATTACK! Get their support!" Brent ordered simultaneously after seeing that his target had managed to recover from the three shots he sent to her character!

The five opponents charged forward and decided to chase their enemies.

As the characters of the Lee Gaming squad gathered together, Sofia suddenly moved to them and cast her hooks. 

Stephen quickly prepared the rain of arrows to the enemy and when Sofia signaled the attack, he instantly took all his arrows to attack.

"It seemed that nobody is willing to back out! They have to score!" the older commentator stated.

Clark's mage had focused on his cool down reduction. Now that he managed to pick the item to reduce his cool down, he easily threw all his skills to assist his teammate.

"Be careful! Their assassin had gone invisible!" William told his teammates after seeing that Claire's assassin was no longer standing with the other Chronos squad members.

"Let's retreat! We cannot underestimate the giant mutant! Let's block its way first before talking about clashing.

"That's right. Defend first, don't worry, we still have higher HP. We can overturn our situation soon! Don't worry too much!" Brent quickly consoled. He had realized that even if they wanted to pursue clashing with the Chronos squad, they can not let another tower be destroyed.

"Okay, let's defend!" the members said in chorus.

After the members agreed to defend their towers first, all of them teleported back to their base for them to recover their mana and HP...

Not long after, the giant mutant marched towards the top lane. All the members of the Chronos squad, except Claire, were at the back of the giant mutant waiting for the right timing to attack.

"Their assassin is really missing in action. Be careful! This assassin had gotten the first blood and had good stats like us. It can give us a one-hit combo and another kill will be inevitable for her!" Brent's sister reminded all her group mates. She remembered that the lady does not have any legit background.

"TSK! Two annoying characters!" the mage user spoke and glared coldly at the giant beast.

But after she looked on her screen, she realized that her character had been silenced!

"AHH, backup, back up!" the mage user tensed after noticing the shadow of the Chronos assassin. She did not want to get the second death as well!

"Just retreat! Don't fight with the assassin!" Brent instructed.
