45 The Miraculous Effect of Aquamorph (1/2)

Qin Ruo had a fair understanding of the Priest Class.

Priests were divided into two types, which were Radiant Priests and Dark Priests. The latter usually used negative magic skills that were transformed from the Dark Element. They mainly utilized mental and wicked, mysterious attacks. In contrast, the former primarily focused on supporting skills that were transformed from the Light Element. They emphasized assisting, but also possessed desirable attacking abilities. However, compared to the Dark Priest, the attacking style of a Radiant Priest was rather dull.

A Tier 1 Radiant Priest only had a single skill—the simple Light Arrow.

Tier 2 was slightly better. At this tier, Radiant Priests could enhance their magic attacks and they were able to cast Chaos Assault; then, at Tier 3, they could either use the linear Psycrash or the area-oriented Psyblast.

The number of attack skills further expanded for Tier 4 Radiant Priests, which mainly included the ”Psylash”, ”Sacred Arrow” and ”Vigilance Hammer”.

The weak Tier 1 and Tier 2 attacking spells of a Radiant Priest aside, those that could truly threaten Qin Ruo were only five spells; the Psycrash, Psyblast, Psylash, Sacred Arrow, and Vigilance Hammer.

Among them, Sacred Arrow and Vigilance Hammer required four seconds of charging time. Plus, they would take on visible energized forms, thus they could be easily detected and defended against. On the other hand, the Psyblast was a short-range magic attack. Therefore, the two skills that Crackpot would most probably use were the Psylash and Psycrash.

Once he figured this out, Qin Ruo took his own sweet time. He decided to give Crackpot an unforgettable lesson, so that from today onwards, he would have to mind his own tongue for a while.

***

Seeing that Crackpot had completed his blessing and was rushing over to him speedily, Qin Ruo made no delays. He first launched his Frostpike.

Crackpot sneered and flipped his hand. A gold, miniature shield appeared on his palm and safely blocked Qin Ruo's probing attack...

The Frostpike broke into fragments and dropped to the ground. Qin Ruo was stunned. His initial intention was to use the Frostpike to test Crackpot's Magic Defense, but he did not expect his opponent to carry such an item. This Frostpike attack was considered a waste of effort.

Not only did Qin Ruo not show any signs of nervousness, but he also did not take a single step back after his attack was deflected. He continued to wait for Crackpot to initiate his attack...

With a hideous grin, Crackpot prepared to throw out his strongest Psylash without any hesitation. Aside from its magical fluctuation, this mental assault had no shape and no visible trace.

Yet, the instant he began to cast the spell, a huge explosive sound came from the Frostrampart, which had been standing in between the two of them the entire time. Shortly after, Crackpot lost sight of his enemy's trace in the midst of ice dust and rock. His Psylash also lost its lock on the target and was unable to be released.

”Heh, what a petty trick!”

Crackpot immediately saw through Qin Ruo's evil plot. He sneered inside and quickly dashed to the side as he controlled his fully-charged magical power. He was once again prepared to throw his Psylash the moment he saw Qin Ruo appear from the icy explosion.

However, he did not expect to only see a floor full of ice shavings and water marks after the icy explosion. Qin Ruo had completely disappeared without a trace.

Besides Crackpot, more than ten players, who had been constantly focused on his side of the battlefield were also fully surprised. They all had a bewildered expression on their faces…

Where had he gone to?

It is important to note that one was not allowed to use Return Scrolls in battle. Even if the player had forcefully gone offline, his body would still remain on the spot for a short period of time.

But the fact that Qin Ruo just disappeared under everyone's noses was well witnessed. How could one explain this?

Unless…
