Chapter 626 - Reckless Melee Fighter (2/2)
Just as he started cursing his fate, the ‘step-child’ Olivia finally got to her feet!
After observing the battle for a few minutes, Olivia had consulted her various in-game indexes and cards, and figured the foglers out, down to their weaknesses!
Olivia, a trained mage, had a solid foundation of magic from her talented teacher ‘Vilgefortz.’ The rest of it was her doing. Mages’ would usually use their ‘wind blades’ for long-range attacks, but she held her ‘wind blade’ in her hands!
This magical sword was made up of solid wind and was almost invisible. It was just like the Excalibur wielded by Altria [8] in the Anime ‘Fate/stay night’. The questionability of its power aside, it definitely looked cool. It was even cooler than Geralt’s silver blade!
Olivia then transformed into the best swordsman in the Wuxia world – Jane Doe Su. She cast a magic shield, and while holding up her wind blade, rushed forward!
The foglers were at their weakest right after their illusions are struck. During that short period, their physical bodies would be revealed, and they would be less than mobile.
Anyway, Geralt would have eventually won. After all, these foglers were small-fry. However, Olivia did not want to pass up on this quest: ‘Assist the witcher against the foglers.’
Therefore, Lady Olivia Zhao charged into fray. She seemed to have forgotten that she was a mage…
The foglers who just had their illusions smashed apart by Geralt had distanced themselves from Geralt. They were waiting for Geralt to rush towards them. Who knows, they might be able to evade his attacks by then. Little did they expect the little girl – their food, to rush towards them!
They thoroughly underestimated the little girl. On top of that, they could not see the invisible ‘wind blade’ in her hands. Almost leisurely, they swung their claws at the girl…
The foglers were relieved. The witcher had held them against the ropes. Finally, a weakling for them to kill!
“NO!” Geralt screamed!
Of course, he quickly fell silent… The air had became eeriely still, while the atmosphere became very awkward.
