Chapter 1239: 1239

Fat Monkey felt a hit on his back just before his body dissipated in a white light .
He was just one step away!
His tears almost started flowing . He had been fighting for so long, which meant that he had no way of getting away and his hope in Mu Qiu had been crushed by Cloudy Leaf .
However, Mu Qiu wasn't too frustrated . He hadn't expected to save his teammate as they were too far apart .
He took a detour in order to meet up with his other teammate; there was just no need to face a Mage with such strong burst potential . Anger wouldn't solve this problem . As a senior player that had been playing games for 2 to 3 years, he knew this better than anyone else .
Cloudy Leaf had performed a miracle, as he equalized the number of players on each side .
However, Ruling Sword was left with Sakura Memories, Moonlight and Mu Qiu, while Gale Legion was left with Gaze, Cloudy Leaf and Flowing Wind . In terms of damage output, Ruling Sword wasn't as strong as Gale Legion, but there were few people left who were optimistic about Gale Legion's chances .
"Gale Legion's defeat in this group round is quite unfortunate," Jiu Feng said sympathetically .
"If nothing else happens, the final score should be six to three . Ruling Sword has their Healer Mu Qiu and Sakura Memories' Bloodlust will eventually come off cooldown . Gale Legion only has damage output players that are going to die soon," Four Seas Dragon said calmly . Although this seemed even at first, the gap between these two teams was actually quite wide .

"Their only chance is to kill Sakura Memories, but is it going to be possible?" Jiu Feng questioned .
Even Jiu Feng could see this . Gale Legion weren't dumb and knew that Sakura Memories had to be killed . Otherwise, Moonlight's damage under Bloodlust's effect would be devastating .
However, they had less HP and Ruling Sword had a healer . If they wanted to kill Sakura Memories, they needed to fight through Mu Qiu's healing . Would they be able to do it?
Even if they couldn't, they were going to try!
Through all the ups and downs of this match, the audience had been mesmerized . Gale Legion didn't accept defeat and there were some who applauded them for it . The players were encouraged to see them equalise after fighting from behind . They were all waiting for what they were going to do next…
Mu Qiu began healing Sakura Memories without a second thought, before using his weapon to cut Flowing Wind .
Mu Qiu hadn't used any skills; he had just used an ordinary attack . He was a Paladin that primarily focused on Intelligence, so the damage that was dealt to Flowing Wind was embarrassing . It barely managed to deal double-digit damage .
Sakura Memories didn't look back and just ran behind Moonlight .
She had someone healing her and she was continually running away, so it wasn't easy to kill her . As time passed, Gale Legion eventually found that Flowing Wind was in danger as he was now below half HP . With no one healing them, it wasn't too difficult for Moonlight and Mu Qiu to do this .

Cloudy Leaf wasn't easy to kill either . He had two Ice Blocks and he had a number of skills that could regenerate Mana . As a result, Flowing Wind had become the target .
Sakura Memories ran as she slammed a fiery red totem into the ground . A tongue of flame flew out to attack Gaze and Cloudy Leaf, but this totem was just to distract them . Its true damage and slow effects were minimal .
However, when Cloudy Leaf and Gaze saw this tongue of flame, their expressions changed .
Sakura Memories had stalled for long enough to decisively cast her refreshed Bloodlust . She then used a blink-like skill that she hadn't used yet to appear near Flowing Wind who was now on low HP .
Flowing Wind was dead!
By the end of the Bloodlust duration, Cloudy Leaf and Gaze were still alive, but they weren't at full HP anymore .
When they saw the three Ruling Sword players who were still at full HP staring at them, these two persevering players couldn't do anything but shake their heads and smile . They fought to the end for the dignity of Gale Legion, but this had no effect on the ultimate outcome of the match .
Just before it all ended, Jiu Feng asked the final question .

"Was it the wrong decision to kill Lu Li first? Would they have won if they chose a different target?"
"It's hard to say what could have happened . Killing Lu Li was one approach, but they hadn't achieved the goal that they wanted," Four Seas Dragon said neutrally with a smile .
"Is there any hope left for Gale Legion?" Jiu Feng asked .
"I think it's over for them . "
Four Seas Dragon watched as Gale Legion's final player, Cloudy Leaf, was eliminated from the match, before announcing the final result of the competition . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
"The score for the individual rounds was 5:3 and the score here was 6:3, which makes the final score 11:6 . "
There was a full five-point gap between them . Even if Gale Legion played their best, they would be unlikely to overcome this gap .
When Four Seas Dragon said that it was over, he really meant it . If Gale Legion wanted to win, the next match had to be won with a five-point gap . If they went 5:3 again in the individual rounds, then they would have to not lose a single player against Ruling Sword in the group rounds .
The audience was sorrowful as the glorious moment of Gale Legion working together to kill Lu Li was largely forgotten .
Wendelian, who had been killed a long time ago, wasn't anxious at all . She had prepared for this moment . Now that all had been decided, it didn't matter whether it was good or bad . However, Gale Legion's journey in the first season of the professional league ended here .
In fact, this wasn't an unexpected result . From the moment they set foot on the plane to fly to Jiangnan City, they already knew this would happen .
As for the question of whether they should have focused Lu Li first, Wendelian would have made the same choice again . The potential for disaster if they left Lu Li alive in the match was just too significant to ignore .
Besides, Wendelian had used hatred towards Lu Li as a means of riling everyone up .
Originally, they were going to fall apart much earlier than this, but the fact that they had made it this far was already beyond her expectations .
Although she could see past this match, not everyone could . Gaze had prepared himself for this outcome, but when the match was going, he still had his hopes up for a miracle . Until this moment, he had truly believed they would pull through .
He used to be like Moonlight and was called the God of War, but had never won a competition .
The next time he stood on this stage, he would fight for victory again, but at least for now, it seemed that he was slightly behind Moonlight .
So far, the top four teams in the league had played against each other . Glory Capitals had not created a big lead on Drizzle Court while Ruling Sword had effectively eliminated their opponent . On the surface, there were three competitors for the championship, but everyone knew that the ultimate battle would be between Ruling Sword and Glory Capital .
As for Drizzle Court, they weren't able to win with home ground advantage, so there was little chance that they could win in the next match .
