Chapter 562 - One Better Move (1/2)

Chapter 562 One Better Move

The stream channel was already a mess. The players weren’t really surprised that Roland cut the enemy with a miaodao. After all, Magic Swordsmen were more popular among the players as a class than the Spell Breakers were.

Therefore, they were no strangers to people who wielded their weapons while casting spells.

What shocked them was Roland’s crazy melee combat abilities.

Most players had played the game for a couple of years.

They could tell from other people’s attack movements whether they were slashing randomly or they were real martial artists.

From what they had seen, not only was Roland a martial artist, but he was also a fairly skilled one.

His turnaround and full-moon slash were performed with perfect timing.

It wasn’t something that any player of the melee classes could’ve done.

A Mage who was the strongest remotely, who could beat most players in a melee battle, and who was highly agile and had all kinds of protective spells, was almost invulnerable. Finally, a Spell Breaker was here to deal with Roland, who almost seemed to be cheating.

But as it turned out, Roland even had cheating melee ability. How could they fight this battle?

The Spell Breakers were essentially Warriors, yet this one had been instantly killed. It meant that normal players couldn’t possibly kill him in a one-on-one battle.

Not just the viewers, but Carrot who was standing on Roland’s opposite thought so too. “He instinctively cast buffs right before our man charged.” Carrot shook his head helplessly. “We’ll have to pass this time.”

The stream channel was seething.

“Really? Are you chickening out so easily?”

“Seriously? Keep fighting! I want to watch the drama!”

Similar comments were all over the screen.

Roland also thought that those people were going to admit defeat. After all, a death would mean a huge loss of EXP at this moment.

But outside of his expectation, Carrot continued, “None of us can beat you individually, so we’ll fight you together. What do you think? It won’t be a fair game, but in any case, we’re streaming this battle and we have to take you down.”

“Come!”

Roland drew on the rocky ground with the tip of his miaodao, leaving a streak of sparks.

Carrot said to his other three teammates, “Go with Plan B.”

After he said that, one of the Spell Breakers extended both hands and aimed at Roland. A purple ring of energy surrounded Roland, cutting off his connection to magic power and destroying the buffs on Roland’s body.

The three buffs that Roland cast on himself were instantly broken.

During that moment, Roland evaluated the intensity of the enemy’s magic-breaking and found that it didn’t surpass his limits.

But it didn’t matter. He could just let them break his buffs and mislead them into thinking that he was weak.

The moment Roland’s buffs were nullified, Carrot and the other two Spell Breakers initiated a charge at the same time from three directions.

Carrot was apparently the fastest of the three.

Without the buff from Anticipation, Roland’s reaction clearly slowed down.

However, as a Mage, he had high mental power, and he was good at calculation.

The moment they started charging, Roland took out a dagger that he built earlier from his system Backpack and hid it while he pressed down his saber. When they moved at him, he stepped back and suddenly loosened his left hand that was gripping the miaodao, then he flung the hidden dagger at another charging Spell Breaker. That dagger was thrown out too surprisingly.

The charging Spell Breaker was greatly shocked and subconsciously blocked it with his sword.

After a clink, the dagger was deflected, but his charge was stopped too.

It was one of the fatal moves of the miaodao technique. Such cunning tricks were no taboo in the miaodao technique, which revolved around real battle.

On a battlefield, survival was what mattered most.

While Roland disrupted one of the Warriors’ Charge, Carrot had run to Roland’s face quickly.

Roland didn’t have any time to make a new move, and he seemed defenseless.

Without hesitation, Carrot stabbed his longsword into Roland’s body with the momentum of the Charge and pushed Roland back successfully.

The third Spell Breaker quickly caught up and stabbed his sword into Roland’s right chest, pushing Roland back even faster.

Everybody cheered in the stream channel.

Seeing Roland impaled by two swords, they were genuinely delighted and felt that they had witnessed the fall of a legend. However, things weren’t as simple as they thought.

While he was being pushed back, Roland suddenly grabbed Carrot’s sword with his left hand and cut the miaodao at Carrot with a terrifying grin although he was vomiting blood.

His terrifying grin was truly mind-blowing.

Subconsciously, Carrot abandoned his sword and retreated quickly.

Although he retreated very fast, Roland’s miaodao was long enough to leave a wound on his left shoulder. It wasn’t very deep, but it made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

Carrot didn’t consider the wound a big deal, because the players weren’t afraid of pain. He simply took out another longsword from his system Backpack.

Roland had been stabbed twice in a row. Although his organs weren’t wounded, those two stabs should’ve been enough to kill him, considering the HP of a regular Mage.

However, the Spell Breaker who was still next to Roland suddenly widened his eyes.

Holding a short sword in his left hand, Roland stabbed it right into the man’s heart.

It was a life-for-life attack. The man wasn’t as responsive as Carrot, so he failed to dodge Roland’s attack.

The Spell Breakers weren’t pure Warriors. Naturally, their vitality wasn’t as high as that of pure Warriors.

After being stabbed in the heart, this Spell Breaker vomited a mouthful of blood and slowly fell with a look of utmost confusion on his face.
