Chapter 744 - Stolen Flags I
[Your flag has been stolen by Pisau (Malaysian National Team).]
The notification is received by all the United Kingdom National Members. The three that were away from their base are shocked because they know that it is not easy getting pass Merlin and Pendragon. πππππ¦πΆπ₯.πΈπ°π
The three remaining members did not panic and just resumed their mission of trying to get a flag as they know that the two will definitely be able to retrieve it. Merlin is a perfectionist while Pendragon is someone that keeps his word. The two are basically the perfect pair to protect the flag.
The three also saw that the one who stole their flag is not actually moving from his place. It only needed them one minute to realize that the player called Pisau from the Malaysian National Team has already been trapped. ππ²ππ§πππ .π¬π€π
Just like the three remaining members of the United Kingdom National Team guessed, Pisau is indeed caught in a trap that is laid by Merlin. She already laid out magical booby traps in the surroundings. The Twin Blades are not caught up in them because those two have sharp senses when it comes to magic which is why Merlin is not underestimating them.
“To think that such a cute person like you managed to steal the flag but it is such a shame that you got caught.” Merlin stated as she suddenly appeared near Pisau.
Pisau tried to strike Merlin using his daggers, but he is ultimately dragged to the mud by the Mud Golem that she controlled. No one even heard the dying screams of the player that got the United Kingdom Flag for a brief moment in time. Merlin easily killed the scout job class player as she has great spell power compared to attack power.
She would actually be in an unfair match if she only used her attack power as she did not focus on that aspect. Unlike demons, Daemonios must choose a path where they will excel as no one is naturally gifted in everything as those born like that are killed immediately by the inhabitants of the world.
There is nothing more dangerous than a perfect being in the eyes of others which is why they crush it at the earliest moment. They will drag them to the mud or destroy every opportunity they can get as that is the way the world works. It is not the most perfect that survives but it is the strongest.
Daemonio’s will either focus on their body or their spell power. Those that focus on their bodies use the runes etched into their skins as a conduit for body strengthening. They can still use magic, but they focus that magic on their body instead of the outside.
Daemonio’s like Merlin focus on the spell casting side as they master the ways of using their magical talents but fail to strengthen their bodies. They might not be as tough as those that focused on their bodies, they are able to use the magical elements to their utmost efficiency and power.
There have been cases where Daemonio’s practiced both, but they ended up a jack of all trades and a master of none. They were not as great as the ones that focused on the physical side of their aspect nor the magical side. If the Daemonio’s were immortal, then practicing both would be great but they also have a limited lifespan due to their human blood.
Their human blood is what makes them able to use all elements of magic but at the same time hinders their way to perfection. Even Daemonio demigods cannot escape the cycle of life and death as demigods still die because they are not fully immortal.
Pendragon did not use the skill that he was about to use but he noticed that the Twin Blades retreated. Merlin returned the flag back to its location and it is once again accumulating time needed for points. If a flag is taken, then the time needed to get one point (1 hour) will also be put to a halt.
The time will not reset even if the flag is stolen but will continue ticking again. This is only true for the ones that are able to retrieve their flags. This is not true for those that get their flags converted into points.
If a player from another team turns your flag into points, then the team with the stolen flag will not be able to generate any time bound points. It means that the flag will not accumulate a point for every hour, but it will still generate the necessary buffs that the flag gives.
If the flag is also stolen, the area buff that it gives will also disappear which many players have already witnessed as the time for swiping flags has started. The ones that have swiped the most as of now are the Japanese National Team and United States National Team because of two key members that they have.
They currently have the top scout class player Shado (United States) and Vayu (Japan). Shado is making good use of his way around the shadows as he could not be stopped. If an attack is about to land on him then he will just evade using the shadows. He became even more difficult of an opponent in the jungle.
Vayu is a different story as some players could only feel a breeze swept through them then their flags will disappear. He is practically the fastest of all the contestants with some being almost as close to him. He has yet to even use skills that raised his speed, and he is already that fast.
He only became easier to catch when he already had five flags on his body. The flags are the only thing that slowed him down, but Blade would cut down those that pursue his teacher without hesitation. With each swing, his katana grew sharper and even more dangerous looking.. The players have began their assault as two hours of just observing has been bring for some of them.
