30 Chapter 30 - Cyclone (2/2)

Sure enough, a whirlwind emerged from the ground and wrapped around the lady as she stepped forward with her right leg and turned her body.

”Ah! Cyclone!” someone among the spectators yelled.

The skill Warriors could learn once they reached level 30: Cyclone.

The rotation carried the weapon along to execute a 360-degree attack from every direction. While the skill's damage output was dependent on the user's proficiency, the skill's duration was decided by a Warrior's Rage points. Theoretically speaking, if a Warrior had unlimited Rage points, then this particular skill could be carried on for an infinite amount of time.

As for the Rage points, they increased the most when a Warrior was being attacked. They would slowly accumulate as well when a Warrior hit an enemy or slay an enemy. It was an aspect unique to the Warrior job class.

Gu Fei had been slashing away at the female Warrior for god knew how many times already. The increase in Rage points caused by a single attack from Gu Fei was not that much since his slashes were basically harmless to her. However, the Rage points had been slowly accumulating. Right now, the lady's Rage points bar was close to being full.

As she unleashed her skill, the spectators were forced to take a few steps back from the impact. It was as if the lady had spun herself into a vortex as a huge cyclone formed in the middle of the venue. Her huge axe could be seen turning into a black ray and mixing itself into the cyclone. The cyclone then flew toward Gu Fei's direction.

It's too fast!

Nobody would have expected that the clunky Warrior could perform such a high-speed spinning like this when she executed the skill.

Close-combat job classes are really the best after all! Gu Fei was still in the mood to express such a thought even when everyone was squealing loudly at his impending doom.

The Warrior's Cyclone moved faster than Gu Fei as she spun like a whirlwind. It was impossible to avoid the attack.

Gu Fei could only raise his sword in an attempt to block the attack. Yet, pinpointing the axe's trajectory inside the whirlwind was not a simple matter, and blocking it when it was spinning this fast was even more so.

Even though Gu Fei was confronting the skill with all his might, he knew that it would be impossible to stop the attack, seeing how her Cyclone was rolling with such force. However, giving up before the very end was not Gu Fei's style.

A loud sound of breaking could be heard as Gu Fei's common-grade sword split into halves. He lost his balance as the gusty wind blew over his body, and then he was swept upward and thrown into the air by it.

It was obvious just how much defense Gu Fei possessed with his beginner mage robe. He would have already faded away as a white light if he had not somewhat blocked that devastating blow just now. Still, death was inevitable for him, seeing how his body was bleeding all over and how his HP was diminishing at a visible rate.

”I failed to dodge it!” Gu Fei felt frustrated. He made a last ditch effort at the very end. Initially, he had planned to borrow the rotation force of the Cyclone to send himself outward in order to evade the attack. Yet, who would have thought that his sword would break apart at that decisive moment? Instead of dodging the attack by borrowing the momentum of the Cyclone, Gu Fei's sword shattered and the axe hit him multiple times before he was flung outward. He barely managed to avoid a death sentence and succeeded in postponing it... for a mere two seconds.

”I would actually need a miracle to stay alive,” Gu Fei smiled bitterly. And yet, there was indeed a miracle!

A ray of white light suddenly appeared and shrouded Gu Fei. He thought it was a summon to the death, but his HP that was close to running out actually stopped depleting further and could be seen replenishing faintly.

Gu Fei who had never experienced it before was not aware that this was the most basic skill of a Priest: Heal.

As Gu Fei fell down from the attack, he looked around and managed to grasp the entire picture. He saw the lady called Luo Luo continuously bestowing Heal on him. However, Gu Fei was not safe just yet. His HP was still depleting, and an advanced Priest skill called Cure was needed before he could fully recover from his wounds. Unfortunately, there was nobody around with that skill at the moment. All Luo Luo could do was bestow Heal on Gu Fei repeatedly to maintain his health. It was a tug of war between a healing skill and the depleting HP.

Of course, the female Warrior was not happy seeing somebody interrupt the PvP between her and Gu Fei. But when she turned around and saw the one performing Heal, she was stunned, ”Sis Luo Luo.”

Luo Luo nodded in acknowledgement as she slid her hand into her pocket and pulled out a few bottles of medication and a roll of bandage. She handed the items to the dumbfounded Fireball and said, ”Go and get his condition stabilized.”

Fireball snapped himself back and rushed to Gu Fei's side after receiving the items. He lowered his body down toward Gu Fei.

I'm saved! Gu Gei thought to himself, as he saw the items on Fireball's hands, and how the female Warrior and Luo Luo actually knew each other.

However, Fireball just held on to the items without using them. Gu Fei stared at him with a puzzled expression.

”Hurry! Why are you spacing out like that?” Luo Luo was panicking at the other side. She was using Heal like crazy to restore Gu Fei's HP which just kept on dropping. It seemed like Gu Fei's injury was pretty serious. If this continued, her own MP would be depleted as well. By then, it would be too late to heal Gu Fei even if they used the medicine.

Fireball whispered covertly to Gu Fei, ”Drunk bro, do you want to stop the bleeding with your acupuncture strikes first?”

Gu Fei was already about to curse at him, but he managed to endure the urge to actually do it. I am a teacher! Gu Fei calmed himself down, and said coldly to Fireball, ”You read too many wuxia novels.”

”Oh? You don't actually know how to do acupuncture strikes?” Fireball seemed to be in quite a shock.

”The medicine!” Gu Fei could not stand it anymore and he yelled at Fireball. His HP had dropped significantly when he got agitated and Luo Luo became frantic as a result.

”I'll do it!” The lady who had wounded Gu Fei approached them.

”What are you up to?” Fireball said this righteously as he blocked her from getting close to Gu Fei.

”Oh, f*ck you! Just heal me already,” Gu Fei's voice got weaker by the second.
