Chapter 58 – Battle Between the Sword and the Shield (2/2)
Shuaa!
The humming Baby Bobo flew towards the mage as quick as lightning.
“He’s here again!”
The mage was very observant and quickly managed to cast [Icicle Shot] onto Baby Bobo, which slowed him greatly. This enabled the mage to continue moving backwards. He was using the hit and run tactic.
As they were distracted by Baby Bobo, I approached the archer from behind. Using the Jade City Sword I used [Combo] to strike at his left shoulder and at the same time, I swung my fist at the ground.
Peng!
The [Binding Chains] was a success and the mage was rooted to the ground. In two strikes, Baby Bobo killed the mage. Mages were unwilling to put points into endurance like healers, since a mage’s only job was to do lots of damage. So a mage must put every single point into Magic Power, otherwise he wouldn’t have enough mana to keep up his lethal attacks.
As the archer died, his Vampire Bat squeaked and disappeared as well.
In seconds, two players had been killed and only 3 were left.
Hong!
A combination of pain and heat emanated from my shoulder as I got hit by a [Fire Axe].
Zheng!
“227!”
Mu Tain took advantage of my temporary stunned state to perform a normal attack for 154 damage. His eyes opened wide, in shock: “What is that defense?!”
I didn’t bother responding and tilted the edge of my sword to hit the abdomen of the musketeer. On the other side, Baby Bobo activated his LV-4 [Stinger]; even with the 10% debuff on attack, the damage dealt was extremely impressive and the musketeer slowly fell to the ground.
……
Zheng!
The monk hit me again and I almost felt like laughing as 49 points of damage popped up. A monk might be incredibly tough and have enormous amounts of health. But what did it matter if he wasn’t a threat in combat, such a shame.
“Its your turn now.”
I made a quick step sideways and a big MISS appeared as I successfully dodged Mu Tain’s attack. His eyes were filled with anger as he realized that I might annihilate his entire team. He used his LV 4 [Penetration], his next attack would ignore 20% of my armor.
I saw that my skills were available again and quickly decided to take his attack head on, and immediately afterwards used [Combo] on him. The tip of my Jade City Sword glowed golden hexagrams and I viciously made 3 continues attacks.
“357！”
“342！”
“344！”
Mu Tain’s health instantly dropped to zero and he clenched his teeth as he died.
Behind the team leader was the monk, who silently stood as he cast his spells. First, he cast a LV 4 [Regen] which improved his regen by 4% and afterwards a LV 4 [Golden Defense] which improved his defense by 12%.
“Come on!”
The monk exclaimed loudly: “Lets see you break my defense. Lets see the limits of a close-combat healer. Either you or me will die today.”
I continued staying silent, directing Baby Bobo to kill his pet goblin.
“Huaa!”
The Jade City Sword flipped as I moved forward in a smooth motion. In a single moment, I appeared in front of the Monk with my sword ready to attack. He was horrified at my speed. Before I began my attacks, I took advantage of his surprise to crash into him. The defensive stance of the monk instantly shattered and he took staggered steps backwards!
A glow emerged from my feet as I quickly used my S-Class combo [Strength of a Thousand Men]!
“98！”
“101！”
“79！”
“109！”
As I let out my continuous attacks, the Monk kept losing his balance, stumbling backwards. Under the effects of my ram, he completely lost his balance, perfect for the 0.2 seconds delay for my [Wind Blade]. This would be the final hit.
Peng!
A huge number appeared when [Wind Blade] connected with the Monk.
“711！”
The monk was surprised and stunned as he said: “That was…. was that a custom combo?”
I remained silent as I finished him off.
……
Shua!
The level 32 monk died.
