129 Sigfrid Vs Nightmare Part 3 (1/2)
The Rogue used his skill Snap of the Wrist and threw 2 small knives with incredible speed into the Ice field. The knives accelerated towards the Warlock but when they were just a feet into the Ice Maelstrom they fell to the ground frozen to the core. The Rogue knew that the spell consumed a lot of mana but time was a little tight and if Nigtmare's team made the mistake of underestimating him sending just a single Warlock to kill him, then he would make them pay.
The Rogue used his Ki to activate his necklace and Holy Power encased him granting him immunity to the elements for 8 seconds. Silhouettes of the Rogue were left behind as he rushed towards the Warlock quickly and launched the skill Eviscerate. The cold air was diverted by the holy power and the Rogue advanced like the wind but when he was about 5 ft from the Warlock the feeling of danger overwhelmed him even through his Self Hypnosis.
The Rogue jumped backwards extremely quick and almost snap his ankles from the abrupt movement he used to change directions, but it was the right decision to take as the energy wave of 2 Halfmoon slashes in a criss-cross faction hit the s.p.a.ce right before the mage.
Boom!!
The warlock also teleported backwards with a smile on his faces and proceed to cast Nether Chains trying to root the Rogue in place.
CRACK!!!
The berserker fell from a high distance following the slash from his axes and proceeded to spin like a top towards the unbalance Rogue. The Rogue jump backwards trying to avoid the grinder coming his way and before the Combat Art ended Lucky Gambit was activated and a slash with double the sharpness cut across the belly of the Orc but it barely manage to do any damage.
It was better to say that the Berserker controlled the damage to increase his rage, even with Lucky Gambit and adamant.i.te weapons he was barely able to cut pa.s.sed the skin into the transversalis fascia. This was one of the reason the Berserker was such a bad matchup for the Rogue as with every slash he would be feeding the power of the Berserker without causing any real damage.
The situation moved in favor of Nightmare's team that seem to have thought of everything beforehand. The warlock quickly cast Summon Minions and three acid slimes appeared and attack the Rogue trying to lash on to him and melt his skin.
The reaction time of the Rogue was amazing and mirages appeared with every evasive move he made. The only thing the onlookers could see were little green spheres trying to lash on to him but hitting nothing but air.
BLOODl.u.s.t
FIERY RAGE
Two staples of the berserker cla.s.s were activated increasing the Berserker strength and attack speed by while Fiery Rage increased healing speed and energy regeneration. This two were the sure kill enhancements of the cla.s.s and as the Orc Berserker press forward with his 2 one handed Axes in a Flurry of Attacks energy waves followed every slash covering a big area.
Even with High Avoidance and speed, the Rogue couldn't evade the energy waves coming his way and was getting cut and burned by them.
It was the longest 8 seconds of his life and the Rogue knew he was not going to make it.
”I guess, I got No Choice..” Said the Rogue to himself and activated his last defensive Card Cheat Death. This Skill used ma.s.sive amounts of Ki to reduce the incoming Damage by 85% and provided the Rogue the chance to parry the attacks and retreat safely for 3 seconds.
It was at this moment that a loud explosion sounded in the air and all three people took a single second to look at the sky. This one second took an eternity, 8 spells bursted into a giant explosion and they saw the mage reappear a few meters away from it and then his head flew into the sky.
f.u.c.k!!
The Death of the Mage was a game changer and the Rogue's plans to survive change from buying time to try to take that warlock with him. However, the chance to head towards the Warlock never really came. While the Berserker attacked him relentlessly, The warlock played the role of support with control spells that close the escaping routes the Rogue could take without losing something in the process.
It was in times of severed danger that Spurious Bravado was so important and after calculating the damage, the Rogue moved forward and traded a few blows with the Berserker while using the recoil from the hits to move closer to Warlock. It was an amazing display of skill even though one of his arms was broken as well as a couple of ribs. The Rogue founded extremely hard to breathe but it was all or nothing.
It was the correct decision and his only choice but the damage sustained reduced his chances to kill the Warlock to 20%, it was an extremely long shot but he refused to die alone.
