228 Chapter 228 - A Priest’s Golden Ratio (1/2)

Brave Surge, who was taking the lead in this assault, calmed his panicking men. When Gu Fei's Blazing Tree of a Thousand Inferno sprouted from beneath the ground, all the members of Water Flower mercenary group started to panic as they knew full well just how high Gu Fei's Spell Damage was. What was worse was that everyone had been caught unaware by this sneaky attack and had no means to dodge it in time. To make matters worse, none of them had any idea where the spellcaster who had unleashed this spell was despite having lost quite a few of their compatriots as the fire raged on.

The melee job classes surrounded War Without Wounds as Brave Surge brought the Mages, Archers, and other ranged job classes to search for Gu Fei. From Brave Surge's combat experience, he could tell where Gu Fei was situated when he cast Blazing Tree of a Thousand Inferno. He was sure that Gu Fei was near them, so he and the rest of Water Flower only searched within the nearby area.

Just as they aimed their magic staves and bows toward the treetops, Gu Fei's loud cry of Descending Wheel of Flames traveled over to their ears. As everyone was once again panicking over Gu Fei's spell, Brave Surge quickly hollered, ”Calm down! Watch for the spell and react accordingly.”

Descending Wheel of Flames was incomparable to Blazing Tree of a Thousand Inferno, as it would always take some time to come crashing down onto the ground, so any job class with decent speed should be able to somehow dodge it.

And yet, the flame wheel never came to be. Instead, Gu Fei was the one that had come crashing down on them from the tree above after he had yelled out the incantation.

Gu Fei was falling so fast that no one registered it in time, much less attack him. All they saw was Gu Fei diving head-first, his feet pointed toward the sky, toward where War Without Wounds was making his last stand. Gu Fei's hand suddenly moved to draw out his Moonlit Nightfalls mid-air. Extending the sword past his head with his wrist slightly angled, he yelled grandly, ”Unifying Heaven and Earth! Twin Incineration! Incinerate!”

Everyone felt unsure of what sort of spell he had just chanted. Shortly after, they saw a fiery dragon burst forth from Gu Fei's sword tip and rapidly spiraled downward right before him. He had actually used Twin Incineration to draw out a miniature version of Descending Wheel of Flames by his hand!

Gu Fei descended on the space War Without Wounds was occupying, as the circle of fire he drew blazingly revolved around all the players closing in on War Without Wounds. The Spell Damage of Gu Fei's Twin Incineration was on another level compared to all his other spells due to his high proficiency of it.

As for the words that came before the incantation, Gu Fei was not talking gibberish. The technique Gu Fei performed as he dove down was Gu's Family's sword style, and it was called 'Unifying Heaven and Earth'.

”SO COOL!” War Without Wounds was extremely moved by Gu Fei's unexpected assistance. He yelled at the top of his lungs and raised his arms to catch the falling Gu Fei. This was a simple task for a barbaric Warrior like him.

However, Gu Fei instead used his offered arms to twist his body parallel to the ground. With his left hand grabbing a hold of War Without Wounds' shoulder, he kicked out toward a player standing by the outer circle and hit the target's face. That kick was not the end of it; Gu Fei began stepping on every player around with War Without Wounds acting as the fulcrum. His kicks resounded and the enemies around War Without Wounds were all given a footprint on their faces. Since his Mage character had low Strength, Gu Fei's kicks were more like light taps that produced imprints starting from their foreheads down to their chins. ”Give me a boost!” he hurriedly requested from War Without Wounds.

War Without Wounds thought Gu Fei had some sort of ultimate move left so he pushed the latter upward. War Without Wounds' mighty Strength allowed Gu Fei to soar two meters in the air and strike a majestic pose. Mid-air, Gu Fei pointed his finger toward a certain location and chanted, ”Translocation, Blink!” With a swish, Gu Fei disappeared from his position.

War Without Wounds' eyes nearly fell out when he saw this and he angrily shouted, ”F*ck! And you dare call yourself a bro?!”

Gu Fei was originally just a meter off the ground, but with War Without Wounds' help, he floated for two more meters. This allowed Gu Fei to reappear somewhere eight meters off the ground – among the branches and leaves, to be exact. Adding the five-meter radius of his Blink, none managed to see where Gu Fei had teleported himself.

The entire forest became quiet once more.

Gu Fei dove from the sky, insta-killed a whole circle of players with his Twin Incineration, gave everyone around War Without Wounds an imprint each through seemingly shadow-less kicks, and subsequently left the scene without landing his feet on the ground. Everything happened in a brief moment, leaving everyone breathless with his fighting rhythm and flawlessly chained movement.

This was especially true of those whose faces and noses were unceremoniously trod on by Gu Fei. They were currently holding their faces while staring blankly upward.

War Without Wounds was still in a precarious position, but his lack of morals resurfaced once he realized that everyone around him was seemingly petrified. The men of Water Flower awakened from their stupor just as he was about to sneak off. The opposing men halted their contemplation of Gu Fei's brilliant intervention and collectively struck War Without Wounds with their weapons.

War Without Wounds no longer heroically took the enemies' attacks like before. Fending off some of the enemies' attacks, he wailed, ”Miles, f*ck*ng hurry up and save me!”
