Chapter 135 - A Little Pressure (1/2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

I’m not the ultimate boss, do I have to be targeted like this?

Despite thinking so, Roland clicked into this thread and started reading it.

The original poster claimed to have found the hidden profession of Spell Breaker, which was a special profession specifically targeting magic professions.

As long it was a profession using magic or theurgy, it would be bad luck to encounter them.

And among spellcasters, Mages should be the strongest, but a while ago, he felt like a hero who learned the art of dragon-slaying but had no dragons to slay. After all, Mages were few and far between.

Bullying the Warlocks and Priests was no fun at all, and only by defeating powerful Mages could he feel somewhat worthy of existence.

After all, apart from having a bit of an advantage over magic professions, Spell Breakers were a bit weaker against Warriors and agility professions.

So whether Mages are strong or not, and how many of them there are, these questions were of existential significance to Spell Breakers.

Just when he felt that he might not be able to do anything of significance in the future, Roland appeared.

He was happy. He wanted Roland to become stronger. This way he would have a higher sense of accomplishment by defeating the strongest Mage on the entire server.

At the same time, he also wished that more powerful Mages would appear, or else how could Spell Breakers appear important and powerful.

Ever since Roland became famous, he had been following Roland like a stalker.

And all this time, he had an obsessive sense of superiority over Roland, believing that he should still have some advantage over the strongest Mage.

…Until two days ago, when he saw Roland blowing down the city wall with a big fireball on the live stream.

His sense of superiority disappeared.

“Countering a profession only grants a relatively larger advantage. However, that advantage can be wiped out or even overtaken. Our magic resistance as Spell Breakers is indeed high, but that has its limits. That fireball, not to mention me, even my teacher wouldn’t be able to resist it. Now the profession of Mage is quite polarized: ordinary Mages are frighteningly weak, many of them can’t even let out a basic Inferior Fireball; whereas the strong ones, like Roland, seem to be as exaggerated as a boss.”

After complimenting Roland, the original poster went on to write, “We Spell Breakers can disrupt the magical elements within a certain range, and increase the casting difficulty for Mages by a level or two, but this disruption is meaningless with Roland’s level of magic control. I’ve said all this: it’s not that Roland is invincible, he has obvious weaknesses as well.

“First of all, casting a spell at full strength requires a long time of ‘chanting’ to achieve enough power.

“The magic he blew down the city walls with took up to 13 seconds or so to prepare, which is pretty deadly in a fight—we have plenty of time to attack him.

“If he’s under heavy protection, it’ll be necessary to have sniper-type archers, from a hundred or two hundred meters away, strike him at long range, preferably attacking his eyes.

“If lucky, it is possible to kill the spellcaster directly, and if unlucky, it can also serve to disrupt the spellcaster’s incantation.

“When the spellcaster’s lengthy incantation magic is restricted, they will definitely turn to a relatively less powerful instantaneous magic.

“This kind of magic is still very deadly, but it won’t be strong enough to blow down the walls of the city, and this is where the magic-resistant equipment comes in—it can effectively resist the damage of instant cast magic.

“That’s why I personally believe that to deal with a boss player like Roland, you need to form a squad of at least five people, and the configuration must have a long-range expert and spellcasters or Spell Breakers who know Dimensional Anchor. After all, last I saw Roland had uploaded a model of the Teleportation Spell. In other words, he’s getting into spatial magic. In order to prevent him from strategically maneuvering to kite us, the Dimensional Anchor must be brought along to block off a large area of spatial magic effects.

“A Mage without spatial magic is no different from a lackadaisical person.

“This is just my humble opinion as a Spell Breaker, but finally, I’d like to ask the development team whether making the Mage so strong fitted their ideology. Don’t cla.s.ses need to be balanced? Even I, a Spell Breaker, feel like I can’t handle him, so how can the other players get an advantage over him?”

Then the players who posted replies got into a fight about this.

“I really don’t understand, why does a Mage player have a boss strategy too? He’s not Sanji Dao¹.”
