Immediately, the Guqin girl starts playing. Golden notes start flying around, assaulting all of your group at once.
Not strong enough to down one of you, but clearly enough an hindrance to be a crucial difference at a key point of the fight. Not that you will let her a chance to do that, mind you.
Behind you, Ster Ling attempts a quickshot to show the opponent who the better archer is.
It goes horribly wrong : the opposing archer summon a spirit beast - some bird bigger than anything you've ever seen. The mythical Rok bird.
Ster Ling shoot. But the Paintbrush user draw one word : 盾 , breaking the arrow mid-flight.
The now-high Rok riding archer line his own shot, which flow over your head - before piercing through Ster Ling left eye.
The 6-th stage referee dashes through, taking away the Military Youth archer. You felt his energy dimming, almost disappearing.
You'll have time to worry later. Your target acquired, you JUMP and aim.
"RISING PHOENIX! HEARTPIERCER!
The crowd roar and cheer as your arrow fly above everyone barring the Rok user. The paintbrush Protector attempt to break your arrow.
But his keyword is not strong enough. Your shot go through the materialized word, dispelling the energy, before meeting its target.
The Guqin player is a girl with long, silky black hair over a porcelain-white face. Her loose braid includes golden strings weaved inside.
Her Blue-grey eyes stares at you with something unexpected : not surprise, or fear, but hatred. Said hatred seems aggravated by your shot triggering the crowd's chant.
The crowd erupt in joy, as the referee takes away the downed music player.
You are pretty sure at this point <span class="mu-s">this was the best choice</span>. The turban-wearing boy is a decoy, clearly frustrating and doing nothing, while the girl you just downed was their strategist - as the shaken state of the group attests.
JiaLin rushes toward the shield user, while deploying her Hawk spirit toward the Bell Nun, which in turn launches a Spiritual Attack - an attack smelling like nothing being there.
This seems dangerous - but YanEr is ready. Mounting the Lotus Shield, the Void attack is captured by the petals, closing over it.
JiaLin strikes, 3 time, each empowered by her True Qi in a teal petal curve. But what is really weird : the same strikes are launced from the Hawk, taking down both the Shield user and the Bell Girl.
Meying Youling engaged the Axe user. But while she was laughing maniacally and releasing her Ghost Hydra, the Axe boy unleashed a primal scream, grew twice as big, getting bulky muscles, black skin and horns in the process. It proceeds to maim brutally your Death Harvester teammate. You can feel her vital energy, deeply weakened, when she's taken out by the referee - increasing your worry for Ster Ling.
Sin Din progressed enough to engage the paint brush user, in her hit-and-run style, while Ping Jun and Yi Norm make slower progress.
