Chapter 495 - The Mage Is a Class With High Upper and Lower Limits (1/2)
In the next few days, the curtain of light gradually shrank. As the curtain moved, Roland basically figured out where the center of the map was.
He estimated that the center would be the battlefield for the final battle.
So, F6 marched to that location.
On their way, they ambushed many other groups, explored a lot of ruins, and gradually replaced their equipment. With Roland’s expertise in Enchantment, the quality of their equipment was increasing.
On the sixth day, Roland and his friends came to the center of the map.
This place had ma.s.sive ruins. Taking advantage of their excellent equipment and resources that were enough to last them to the end of the event, they spent a day and a night clearing the undead creatures in this place and looting all the treasures in the ruins.
They found equipment of higher quality and countless magic materials.
In the best-preserved building among the ruins, Roland enchanted the equipment with the precious magic materials he found.
Schuck and the others simply kept an eye on the surroundings from the top of the building.
They were the first to arrive at the central ruins. By Roland’s estimation, the other players would be coming in half a day or one day. They had to be prepared for skirmishes in the ruins.
However, after a day of waiting, when Roland had enchanted all the equipment, no other groups came at all.
This was already the eighth day of the event.
What happened outside?
Everybody was ill at ease.
Eventually, Husseret said, “I’ll go out and take a look with stealth. You wait here.”
But Husseret didn’t come back after a whole night.
The weather changed in the morning of the ninth day. It began to drizzle. Roland was standing on the tallest building. He had crafted a set of ultimate enchanted equipment for everybody, and a set of equipment that could increase his mana capacity as well as several accessories that could accelerate his magic regeneration.
At this moment, he was glowing with blue magic brilliance, as if he had installed blue LED lights all over his body.
As Roland stood on the top of the tower, the rain fell upon his head only to be deflected by his flowing magic power.
“Husseret isn’t back yet.” Roland heaved a sigh. “Something probably happened to him.” “His equipment enhances the stealth effect and increases his stamina regeneration. He runs even faster than a ghost.” Schuck frowned. “Who could possibly catch him?” Roland shook his head. “We’ve only explored the ruins in our path, not all of them. Chances are that other players found equipment that can grant True Sight. It’s hard to say.”
Schuck furrowed his brow even harder. “Then what do we do? It’s already the ninth day, but no players except us are here. I think something is wrong. I feel ill at ease.” “Me too, so I intend to go out and take a look.” Roland took a deep breath.
“Husseret is a Rogue who specializes in spying, but he’s gone missing. What can you do?”.
“I have an advantage he doesn’t have. I can fly, and I fly very fast.” Schuck thought for a moment and nodded. “That’s true.”
“You hide yourselves well. If anyone comes when I’m away, just lay low until I come back.”
Got it.
The rest of F6 nodded.
Activating his spatial bubbles, Roland swooshed to the sky and flew out. With equipment that increased his mana capacity and regeneration, he had as much mana here as he did in the outside world, so flying with spatial bubbles wasn’t too exhausting for him right now.
He circled in the sky, and his expression became more and more awful. In the end, he returned to the heights of the ruins at a high speed.
He had only been gone for no more than an hour before he returned. Schuck and the others approached him and asked, “Did you find anything?”
“The Phoenix Guild has annihilated almost all the other players. I saw at least sixteen squads of the Phoenix Guild killing players in various locations during my flight.
“They summoned creatures and hara.s.sed their opponents while they rode their mounts. Whenever the opponents were surrounded, they would kill them and flee before the rest of the opponents came to reinforce their friends.
“After they rest for a while in a safe place, they come back and look for other opponents.”
“Guerrilla warfare?” Schuck took a deep breath.
“I estimate that at least fifty thousand players have been killed by the girls of the Phoenix Guild.” Roland closed his eyes and said slowly, “Not many players are left right now. They have been clearing the ground. They probably want to reduce the number of their opponents before the final battle on the tenth day.”
Li Lin was quite angry. “Does that mean we’ll have to confront a hundred players from the Phoenix Guild and thousands of summoned creatures?”
Roland nodded.
Raffel slapped his s.h.i.+eld to the ground and sat on it. “How can we fight them? The group attack spells of Mages are limited, but Elven Summoners were not nerfed at all. This is so unfair.”
Schuck heaved a sigh. “We’ll probably lose this time. When the girls of the Phoenix Guild are united, they can destroy anyone with their advantage in numbers, not to mention that we’re only level five. If Roland’s offensive spells were not restricted, the victory would be ours.”
Betta and the others all heaved helpless sighs after hearing that.
They were willing to fight, but the Phoenix Guild simply had too many summoned creatures.
“Why are those girls so tough now?” Li Lin was confused. “They were sticking together and slaughtered stupidly a few days ago, but now, they’ve already learned to fight guerrilla battles with their advantages in mobility and number. d.a.m.n it. Who enlightened them?”
“They probably understood it as they played on.” Leaning on the ragged wall, Schuck looked at the horizon. “You can really pick up a lot of abilities in such battles where there are no rules.”
Everybody sighed again.
They had hoped to kill the girls by taking advantage of their lack of experience.
However, the girls had already learned and grown.
It seemed that they had absolute disadvantages in this situation now.
Roland, however, hadn’t given up yet. He raised his head and looked at the purple curtain of light not far away, which reminded him of the circles in Battle Royale games.
