189 Chapter 189 - Blink (2/2)

Ever since the squad of Archers started their assault from the very beginning, Youthful Reflection had been slowly steering the Archers closer to the trench as they fired off arrows precisely because he wanted the two's hiding place to enter Homing Projectile's range. This way, the two targets would certainly be eliminated once their heads appeared out of the trench again. But that was no longer necessary, as Gu Fei had just kindly delivered himself to them. The Archers did not hesitate to fire off arrows on Homing Projectile at him, and dozens of arrows could be seen coming straight toward Gu Fei's direction in the next moment.

One could not actually 'dodge' the arrows empowered by the Homing Projectile skill, and getting rid of these arrows was only possible by either deflecting them all or running until the skill duration ended. For Gu Fei, of course he could deflect several of them, but he had no way of parrying all hundreds of arrows at once. Even Svelte Dancer had given up on covering for Gu Fei when she saw this scene, as she knew deep down that it was unlikely for him to escape this aerial assault. With a sigh, she chose to return into the safety of the trench.

Gu Fei desperately tried to throw out a spell at the Archers, but this attempt ended in failure as dozens of arrows lodged themselves into Gu Fei's body, eliminating him without suspense.

Just as he was sent out of the PvP arena and into the plaza by the Main Hall of Guilds, Royal God Call's message arrived: ”Did you just use Blink?” Royal God Call was part of the Traversing Four Seas' archer formation and was even one of the Archers that had fired off arrows on Homing Projectile at Gu Fei. Therefore, he clearly witnessed everything that had just occurred in the skirmish.

”Yup,” Gu Fei answered.

”Where did you get its skill scroll?” Royal God Call asked.

”I bought it from Svelte Dancer,” Gu Fei replied.

”How much?”

”2000 gold coins.”

”You're really rich!” Royal God Call exclaimed admiringly.

”I'm paying it in installment… I've only paid her 200 gold coins for now,” Gu Fei admitted.

”She is rich, anyway... and given how close you two are, you should have just asked her to give it to you as a gift!” Royal God Call remarked.

”We're just friends. And being rich is no reason for one to gift people things arbitrarily,” Gu Fei lectured Royal God Call.

”Tsk!” Royal God Call ignored his words.

”How is Svelte Dancer faring?” Gu Fei was busy being skewered by arrows that he did not have the time to check on Svelte Dancer's situation.

”She nimbly hid back inside that trench,” Royal God Call informed him.

”Finish that fight quickly. Come and experiment Blink with me once you're done,” Gu Fei said.

Gu Fei's carelessness on relying on a new-found spell had caused him his death. With him being defeated, even just handling twenty or thirty Archers alone would be a tall order for Svelte Dancer to overcome, let alone clashing with the entire archer formation of Traversing Four Seas all by herself.

The match ended just as expected. Each of the ladies scattered all over the map was found and killed off, letting Traversing Four Seas secure an easy victory. Amethyst Rebirth was finally put down and would no longer be able to mess around in the guild versus guild tournament. Given the guild's strength, it was already fortunate of Amethyst Rebirth to make it this far in the PvP tournament.

The ladies knew their limits well. Honestly speaking, the ladies were not really saddened by their elimination from the guild versus guild tournament as they were not that interested in it in the first place. When everyone was sent out of the PvP arena, they merely expressed a few casual remarks about losing the match before putting the entire matter behind and leaving cheerfully to do their businesses.

In the end, Svelte Dancer seemed to be the only one that was truly saddened by losing the match. She had been busying herself by participating in the mercenary and guild tournaments, but with the elimination of her mercenary group and guild, she was suddenly left without a purpose and was currently feeling very depressed.

As for Gu Fei, he was also feeling very despondent over losing such a viable reason to slay people with no consequences. He and Svelte Dancer shared a moment of depression until Royal God Call squeezed his way out of Traversing Four Seas and found the two of them sitting at the corner of a wall.

Royal God Call temporarily abandoned his passion for magic when he saw the beautiful Svelte Dancer. Cheerfully greeting her, his eyes barely registered Gu Fei's existence.

Svelte Dancer was currently in a bad mood. She easily surmised that Royal God Call was part of the enemy camp's annoying archer formation upon seeing him here and knowing his job class, so Svelte Dancer barely greeted him. Singing a sorrowful song, she swiftly left.

”Ah… Her voice is so melodious,” Royal God Call said as he watched her walk away.

”Grape!” Gu Fei called out.

”Ah!” Royal God Call quickly turned around with a solemn expression on his face, yet he found not even a trace of Grape.

Gu Fei sobbed in his heart. Royal God Call was truly the type of man who lusted for every lady. Compared to Sakurazaka Moony, Royal God Call was actually more reprehensible.

Royal God Call realized that Gu Fei had just been teasing him when he saw no traces of Grape. He felt slightly embarrassed inside, so he hurriedly changed the subject and engaged Gu Fei in a discussion about the Translocation: Blink spell. Royal God Call asked Gu Fei to explain in greater detail his status at that time of using the spell – chanting speed, finger and eyes' direction, etc.

Gu Fei was dumbfounded when Royal God Call began a lengthy tirade about ten possible reasons for being teleported by the skill short of the intended location. At the end of his speech, Royal God Call casually asked, ”So which among these do you think is the reason behind it?”

”I think it's because I just learned the skill. My low proficiency in it prevented me from being teleported far,” Gu Fei felt quite ashamed of his rudimentary gaming knowledge.

”Oh… That – That's probably a reason, too,” Royal God Call was actually feeling more ashamed than Gu Fei inside for not considering that possibility.
