425 Madman—Collision (2/2)
Elementalists were extra sensitive to the magical fluctuations around them. This was especially prominent after an Elementalist reaches Tier 5.
As the distance between the two of them decreased rapidly, Death Jesus apparently sensed the magical fluctuation from his opponent. The fluctuation was exceptionally powerful and felt oddly familiar.
With Qin Ruo traveling at full speed, a magnificent amount of aura spilled over to Death Jesus unstoppably. The feeling was like a sword had just been unsheathed. The piercing radiance reached out to Death Jesus aggressively.

”What a madman!” Death Jesus hesitated. He refused to believe there was such a crazy person in this world.
'He was charging a Tier 5 AoE offensive sell up at this altitude of two hundred meters? Is he insane?'
Their outer defense would not save them if they dropped to the ground from this altitude. They would be minced meat once they reached the ground, with or without Barrier. 'Bastard, doesn't he know falling together will do him no good whatsoever? This will only benefit some lucky player who happens to be around and loot our equipment.'
In this siege war, when most Champions from both factions had chosen the sky as their battlefield, it became an unspoken rule that none shall or would use such a spell that was devastating to both parties.
Thus, Qin Ruo's action was far beyond Death Jesus comprehension, which caught him off guard and hindered his initial plan. The latter proceeded to flap his wings hard in the opposite direction and cursed loudly. He would be the crazy one if he risked his life against the insane Qin Ruo.
One was a loner with no background that just recently became famous…
While the other was a Clan Leader under a great League. He was the de facto leader of Maverick Vatican, a Tier 5 Supreme Champion, and was looked up by many…
One has mixed equipment of Legendary and Dark Gold quality…
The other? Carefully tailored full set of finest Legendary quality for a Tier 5 Champion.
If they were to die together, Qin Ruo would be hailed as the hero of Angel Faction, while Death Jesus would only become his stepping stone to further boost the less experienced player's popularity.
What Death Jesus would get in return? Nothing. He would only become a laughing stock for losing out to a new rookie. A piece of tainted history would be forever imprinted in his life.
Although he was unsure of whether the opponent really has a death wish coming at him kamikaze style, Death Jesus could foresee that Qin Ruo might really pull the trigger if he did not back off.
One thing added to another, and Death Jesus lost the mental game. He flew aside and watched blankly as Qin Ruo ignored him and continued his course toward Moonrise City.
”F*ck!”
Death Jesus face was slapped hard by Qin Ruo's action. His face was red with fury.
Under the gaze of Black God and Northern Tropic, Death Jesus locked on to Qin Ruo and powered his Demonic Wings to chase behind the ruthless Aquamancer.

”…” After Qin Ruo received another reminder from Black God about the pursuer, he calmly glanced back at Death Jesus who was now about a hundred meters behind him.
Both of Death Jesus responses—first avoiding the head-on crash, then chasing behind him—were wholly anticipated by Qin Ruo.
After all, Death Jesus was a seasoned Tier 5 Champion that enjoyed the privilege and position like Majestic Hero, Netherclaw, and Scarlet Bauhinia. The League Master of Maverick Vatican was a low-key player who seldom appeared in public. Most of the matters in the League had been delegated to Death Jesus.
After being easily scared off by a rookie, it was totally understandable that the Shadowmancer was highly provoked. Besides, Qin Ruo was told earlier by Slayer's Heart and Violet Orchid that Death Jesus was not a very forgiving person.
”Well, come closer.”
Qin Ruo intentionally slowed himself down little by little so that Death Jesus could catch up to him eventually.
To be honest, he longed for the fight. He welcomed the experience of fighting a Tier 5 Supreme Champion first hand.
Furthermore, within this short few minutes, the process of him fighting Bandit Leader and the others at Monster Mountains most probably still had not reached Death Jesus's ears who was busy with the siege war.
So Qin Ruo was eager to know whether Death Jesus had anything up to his sleeve when he lost the Demonic Wings.
Once he made up his mind, he suddenly flew up.
He surged toward the sky and made a flip, then bolted toward the approaching Death Jesus.
'Madman!'
Death Jesus's eyes widened as he held his breath. Subconsciously, he stopped flapping his Demonic Wings and reflexively took out a scroll from his backpack. This time, he decided not to back off.
The pride as a Tier 5 Supreme Champion disallowed him from retreating a second time—not from some crazy Tier 5 noob.
”Doomsday!”
”Frozen Realm!”
Boom!!!

The explosion occurred right on top of the northern wall of Moonrise City.
More than ten Tier 5 Supreme Champions fighting in the air simultaneously withdrew from each other and looked puzzledly at the northern part of the city.
