Chapter 402 (2/2)

”It's been a while since we last saw her. Level 107, huh. Luo River G.o.d of the Capital sure levels quickly despite having to waste time fighting Candle Dragon on the side…” I commented while drinking my tea.

Lin Yixin took out a tablet from her handbag and typed something. I didn't know what she was searching for, and a couple of seconds later she enlightened me and said, ”Wow, Luo River G.o.d of the Capital is so powerful! Her scepter is a Level 100 2-star Outstanding Spirit-grade weapon called the Thunder Scepter! That Moonkiss is pretty incredible as well. The dagger she's holding is a 3-star Purple Gold–grade weapon called the Blade of Frozen Heart!”

I couldn't help but click my tongue. From the sounds of it, Purple Lily definitely wasn't an opponent anyone could afford to underestimate. With that kind of skill and equipment, this five-man party was top-tier even in the entire country. Their opponents would probably cry by the time this match was over!

It went as we predicted it would be. The moment the battle began, Moonkiss, the a.s.sa.s.sin, actually charged her opponent and drew all their attention to her. While the enemies were distracted, Luo River G.o.d of the Capital waved her Thunder Scepter and summoned a rain of fire from the sky, burning everything within a 20x20 yard area. Three of the enemy players were caught in the attack!

4984!

4472!

5102!

It was terrible. That one AoE spell deleted over half of the three melee fighters' HP. If she could pull this off again, she could one-shot all of them in one go!

The good news was that the AoE skill—”Fire G.o.d Purgatory” was its name—looked like it had a long cooldown. The bad news was that Luo River G.o.d of the Capital didn't only have that one spell, and she easily knocked a warrior who was charging her into the air and one-shot him with Ice Thrust!

Swhoos.h.!.+

Suddenly, a b.l.o.o.d.y dagger appeared out of nowhere and attempted to plunge into the mage's body. Clearly, everyone knew that Luo River G.o.d of the Capital was the absolute core of Purple Lily, and that they had to defeat her as quickly as possible or risk losing more and more of their teammates!

”Hmph…”

Luo River G.o.d of the Capital snorted quietly as she retreated to the back and searched for opportunities to smash the a.s.sa.s.sin's face with a couple of Fireb.a.l.l.s. It was at this moment the remaining enemy fighters charged her!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

The super mage simply smiled and stood there. An unusual-looking magical s.h.i.+eld—the ”Origin Energy s.h.i.+eld”—was surrounding her, and it had incredible durability compared to the usual Magic s.h.i.+eld. The fighters dished out their combos, but they actually failed to penetrate the magical barrier. They exchanged a shocked glance with each other. ”What… what is this?”

”Hehe, you lost…”

Moonkiss stood at the side and waited. The next moment, Fire G.o.d Purgatory dropped from the sky again and engulfed all the players around Luo River G.o.d of the Capital in flames! The skill had almost no channel time at all, so the enemy didn't even have the time to disrupt the cast. Right now, she looked like a living G.o.ddess on that battlefield!

The match ended 1-0 in favor of Purple Lily.

Both Lin Yixin and I were frowning in silence. We were both thinking of a way to beat Luo River G.o.d of the Capital—or another mage as powerful as her.

Consciously or not, the super mage was declaring to all Chinese mages the true power of their cla.s.s. She was telling them that they could be strong enough to 1v5 a full party of well-equipped, high-level players without even losing their Magic s.h.i.+eld!

Mage was a cla.s.s that struck fear in any player's hearts, and that fear would only deepen the further we got into the game. What Luo River G.o.d of the Capital displayed now was but the tip of the iceberg!

……

It was a clean and swift 2-0 victory. Even if Luo River G.o.d of the Capital wasn't as strong as she was, Purple Lily still would've been the victors. Moonkiss, Familiar Scent, Pretty Little Fish, and Moonlight Beneath A Rock were all veterans who could present a challenge to a guild as strong as Candle Dragon, so this was just the natural result.

After the super mage got off the stage, she sat at the table right next to ours and asked smilingly, ”Lu Chen, Lin Yixin, what do you think of our performance?”

I nodded approvingly. ”You're good…”

Lin Yixin agreed, ”We leave Candle Dragon to you…”

But Luo River G.o.d of the Capital pursed her lips and said, ”Don't count on us, seriously… in a 5v5, our chances of winning are less than 30%.”

”How is that possible?” He Yi looked astonished. ”How are your chances of winning so low when you're this powerful?”

The super mage simply smiled. ”Guild leader He Yi, you have no idea how strong Candle Dragon and Candlelight Shadow are right now…”

I was astonished by her declaration myself. I pondered for a moment before saying, ”Don't worry, we promise to beat them if Purple Lily does fail to beat Candle Dragon in the quarterfinals.”

Luo River G.o.d of the Capital smiled. ”Thanks. I'll do my best to take them out, but honestly, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Snowy Cathaya are the only two guilds who have a shot at beating Candle Dragon. The reason is simple: you two have Famous General Skills, but we don't. It's a huge disadvantage to say the least…”

”Hehe…”

”Hmph hmph!!”
