166 Chapter 166 - Internal Conflic (1/2)

Moonlit Nightfalls glowed as a ball of fire formed from its tip before flying toward the four ladies.

”Ahh! Quickly dodge it!” The ladies were thrown into a tizzy. With the current standard of Parallel World's players, the most basic spell in the Mages' arsenal, Fireball, was often disregarded by many. Most people would casually knock it away with anything that they had and view the spell as not a big deal even if it hit them.

As for the ladies, they treated Gu Fei's spells, even Fireball, as something very dangerous. Thus, the four quickly dispersed when they saw the ball of fire heading their way.

Fireball had a tracking ability, yet Gu Fei did not make his spell chase after any of the four ladies and the ball of fire was floating in a straight line instead. Gu Fei had always been using Fireball like how he threw his secret projectiles during his kung fu training session, and he would often throw the spell out by relying on his eyes and calculation instead of on the system's target lock-on assistance.

”Fireball! Shoot!” Ice Glaze and another Mage made use of the same spell to counter Gu Fei's. He extended his sword and unhurriedly sliced apart the two balls of fire heading his way, easily dissipating them.

”YA!” The female Warrior lowered her head and sprinted over using Charge. Gu Fei sidestepped to let her pass him and swung hard at the incoming figure with his sword, ”Twin Incineration! Incinerate!”

The blade formed a beautiful red arc, yet it cleaved nothing but empty space. The female Warrior was currently standing next to the sword as she said in confusion, ”Oh, dear. Did I estimate wrongly for the distance?”

Gu Fei wanted to faint right there and then. The lady Warrior had apparently calculated the distance wrongly with Charge. The lady could simply not reach Gu Fei from where she had activated Charge, so while Gu Fei's sidestep perfectly opened up an opportunity for him to strike her, the lady's poor execution of the skill had rendered his swing useless.

”Let me do it again!” The lady ran back to her original position.

Gu Fei's could do nothing but to hold his sword tightly in hand. Originally, he had wanted to slash at the Warrior right away, but he ended up staring blankly at her retreating figure after hearing what she had just said.

Once back in position, she bent her waist, lowered her head, and raised her sword again. After getting into that posture, she said, ”Just wait for a little longer! The skill's cool-down time is about to end.”

The other three ladies confidently nodded their heads.

Gu Fei was in tears. Is this a PvP match or a mentoring fight?

”Aye! Here I come!” The female Warrior shouted and rushed forward using Charge once more.

Gu Fei was afraid of her misjudging the distance once more and wasting his effort, so he decisively took a step forward, ”Twin Incineration! Incinerate!”

From the perspective of Parallel World's Verdict, no matter how many times a Mage casted Twin Incineration, the spell would be unable to win against the Warrior's Charge skill. However, Gu Fei saw through the skill execution and his forward step essentially dodged the female Warrior's Charge. With his follow-up swing to the opponent's direction, his actions virtually canceled out Verdict.

”Ah! She got him!” Ice Glaze and the other ladies rejoiced, fully assuming that Gu Fei's forward step would make him receive the full brunt of the Charge skill. In the end, they only saw their guildmate catching fire as she went past Gu Fei and burning until she was nothing but a white light.

”Ah… How is that possible?” The three ladies were left befuddled by what they had just witnessed.

”I'm not gonna go easy on you lot anymore!” Gu Fei flexed his forearm to show them that he was serious.

The three ladies were standing separately, so Gu Fei could not cut down all three with one stroke of his sword. Thus, he threw out a ball of fire and dashed toward one of the ladies' direction.

A whistling sound stopped Gu Fei's forward momentum, though. The sound of the traveling arrow gave a vague indication of the Archer's attack power and speed, and Gu Fei believed that only one Archer present in this match could shoot an arrow of this caliber.

Turning his head over, Gu Fei saw that the ball of fire he had thrown to the female Priest was dissipated by the arrow.

Royal God Call then hurtled over from the arrow's firing direction and shouted, ”Who dares to touch Grape?!”

Oh? Is this lady that Grape? Gu Fei glanced at the Priest and sighed in his heart, saying, ”Royal! Look at how much you've frightened her.”

Royal God Call hurtled over like a wild sparrow, standing in front of Grape while pointing his bow toward Gu Fei. Before anyone could say anything, he signaled Gu Fei like crazy by winking his eyes and moving his brows.

Gu Fei originally wanted to praise Royal God Call for being able to shoot down his Fireball, yet he lost the will to do so after seeing the latter's facial gestures. He simply sighed and asked, ”What are you trying to do here?”

”I'll fight whoever that dares to touch Grape!” Royal God Call continued to act the part of a hero saving a damsel in distress.

Before this matter could be settled, War Without Wounds also trampled over. His voice reached Gu Fei ahead of his figure, ”Xiao Bing and Xiaoying are under my protection! Anyone who dares to attack them will have to get through me first!”

Xiao Bing naturally meant Ice Glaze, as for Xiaoying, Gu Fei did a quick check of Amethyst Rebirth's members list. Spotting a Mage by the name of Singing Peach, he reckoned that this lady before him must be her.

War Without Wounds, who had gotten near the ladies, opened his stance and bore the look of someone defending justice. The way the two looked at Gu Fei seemed to suggest that he was the one infringing upon the virtues of the fair maidens before him, angering Gu Fei to the point of speechlessness.
