Chapter 183 - The Way Back Home (I) (1/2)
The red players started their attacks on the Cleric with the intent to kill him in a few hits. But from the attacks of the red players, none of them landed to the cleric who has quick reflexes and good footing that allows him to dodge the enemies trying to kill him.
The moment they missed, the Cleric dash towards the main healer and swing his staff to the face of the female cleric of the red named players.
PA!
The female cleric staggered after the staff landed on her face. Once she staggered, the cleric that is being attacked spins his staff and stabs the ground with its tip.
”[Caduceus]!”
A huge staff with two serpents coiled on the handle of the staff materialized and the cleric that was just trying to recover from the staggering state immediately died. The female player got squashed by the skill.
”What was that?” Hagane was astonished by the skill.
”The first tier offensive type skill of a cleric, [Caduceus]. It is a single target skill that has a 15 seconds cooldown and 5 seconds casting time. It deals damage to enemies in exchange for the HP. It does deal significant damage but not that much. Of course, if it is upgraded to a certain extent, the attack power will be big and it will become an AOE skill.”
”I don't understand the principle of that skill. Also, how did he managed to kill the enemy cleric in just a few attacks?” Dolly asked.
”From what I observed, the cleric that was killed was poorly equipped in the armor department which must be the main reason the [Caduceus] one-shot kill the cleric. Also, he hit the cleric with the staff earlier. Even if it isn't much, it was also damaged and we can only assume the cleric has low health allowing him to kill the player in one shot,” I explained.
The cleric heals himself after using the [Caduceus] and faces the others.
”I don't mind you guys come together at once!”
When the pk players heard this, they were provoked.
”You bastard! Don't get cocky! Boys! Let's get him!”
His taunting words made the poor bastards attack. In my experience, I already know what he is about to do. Cleric rarely fights alone and usually is backed up by other players in fights. However, a cleric can handle things on their own and can fight just fine without any outside help from other players.
”[Regeneration]!”
He raised his hands and his body was enveloped with a green aura and he is constantly healing small bits of HP every second. After that, he rushes head-on to the enemies and started smacking the enemies with the staff. Every smack he did leaves a small white mark on them, which was invisible to the enemies' eyes but visible to the non-targets.
The attacks of the enemies managed to land a hit on him but he was not injured much and he didn't lose too much health.
”You people serious? How come you guys are pretty sloppy? Attack him all out!”
The cleric grinned and he raises his staff in the air before stabbing it on the ground like how he did when he cast [Caduceus] earlier.
”Repent to all of your sins! [Holy Smite]!”
It was just a momentary scene but the marks left behind by the small attacks done earlier by the cleric started to glow brightly. In that split second of the activation, spikes of light appeared on their body, piercing them. Two players died after the activation. The three remaining players were still alive but they were almost incapacitated.
”Damn, it looks like my calculations were a bit wrong in there since there are still three survivors,” the cleric shook his head and approached the three dying players.
”You bastard...” the guy who seems to be leading the red players grumbled though he is having a hard time moving especially with a sharp light piercing his chest.
”You are the bastard one, bastard of the bastard. You dare mess with my quest and ruin the Main Quest that I have accepted? You really have a death wish do you?!”
”F*ck... you are just a cleric... how come you are much capable of killing us...”
”Because you guys are all dumbf*cks who think healers can't kill. Now, go to the cathedral and pay for your crimes,” he said before stomping the player with his boots several times. In a few stomps, the player died as his body slowly turned into a digitized corpse.
He did the same to the other players who remained alive after the [Holy Smite], eliminating the players who think they are the strongest players.
”Significant bastards ruining my quests, what a load of crap.”
