Chapter 49: Chanel (1/2)

Shadow Maple charged over, the sword in his hand glistening red. This was a signature melee skill—Assault!

I faced him head-on, puffing my chest to tank the blow, while my Weeping Fire Blade drew a beautiful arc behind the target.

Boom!

The blade accurately hit the back of Shadow Maple's head, a weak spot. 421 points of damage floated up!

Shadow Maple was shocked but I had already turned my body, quickly stabbing his chest. With a spurt, blood gushed everywhere. The top player of the Shadow Clan was dead, his limp body slowly stumbling to the grass, a corpse awaiting revival.

Shadow Volcano was furious upon seeing the events unfold, jumping into the action himself. Light flashed on his blade, Wanderer’s Level 20 skill—Sword Drag Slash!

Sha...

Dust billowing under my feet, I took several steps back. Shadow Volcano's earlier target on my position became useless. He hesitated whether he should continue the technique. If he did, it would surely miss. He froze all over.

I wanted to laugh at seeing this. This person's mechanics were so bad. One had to leave enough room to move when they used their blade. He did not know such simple logic?

Accompanied by the cold wind, I came abruptly in front of Shadow Volcano. I stared at him with my undead eyes. Shadow Volcano felt a wave of goosebumps. ”What… what do you want?!”

MISS!

1280!

I did not respond and killed him using Pardon followed by a basic attack. Seeing Shadow Volcano slump to the ground, I sighed inwardly. Rank 3 Pardon is too strong. It’s definitely my trump card in PvP.

I suddenly felt pain in my chest. Snap snap snap. It was punctured with arrows. The four archers of the Shadow Clan had all raised their longbows and shot accurately at me. A string of damage numbers flew over my head—

75!

59!

90!

……

Any of these attacks wasn’t a problem, but four of these at the same time dealt a significant amount of damage. In almost an instant, I became a porcupine. Moreover, a burning fire dragon suddenly burst out of the ground I was standing on, flames consuming my body. I felt pain all over, as if I was actually burning, losing a huge chunk of my HP in the process!

289!

Damn! They have a high-level mage, a powerful one at that!

I hurriedly grabbed a Rank 2 Health Potion and drained it. At the same time, I glanced and saw a female mage dressed in black robes, chanting spells. Balls of flame were floating at the tip of her staff, she was the high-level mage!

Shadow Chanel LV-32 Bronze Mage

A Level 32 mage. It seemed that her staff is Steel or even Dark Steel–grade. Otherwise, just one Rank 3 Fire Dragon Spell wouldn’t have taken so much of my HP!

+312!

Tsk tsk, very good. Sister Mingyue is full of milk. Such powerful healing could rank in the top of Floating Ice City.

Despite the healing, it was unrealistic to challenge a whole mob of people alone, especially with Shadow Chanel’s attacks being so powerful. One mistake and we would all be dead.

Shadow Chanel's attack power undoubtedly raised the morale of the Shadow Clan. Shadow Deep Sea held his longbow and shouted, ”Chanel, give the boy a taste of a few more Fire Dragon Spells. Archers, concentrate your fire on him. I don’t believe we can’t kill this undead swordsman with all of our firepower. Damn, he just had to have a priest helping. Hmph, it is Murong Mingyue of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls! We’ll first kill Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, then it's Murong Mingyue's turn!

I did not retreat, advancing with a powerful strike to the chest of a casting mage. This young mage didn’t have much battle experience, clearly misjudging our distance, and didn’t understand that he shouldn’t cast spells so close. He could only watch as Weeping Fire Blade stabbed into his chest, drawing blood and sending him straight to the graveyard!

Shadow Chanel bit her red lips and said angrily, ”Go die! Arctic Rain!”

Crash!

A small-scale rain of hail came down from the sky. This was a powerful Level 30 Mage skill, an AoE ability!

75!

77!

71!

Three successive attacks. Clearly this Arctic Rain was not at a high rank, so its damage was subpar. It was not as good as using a single-target spell like Fire Dragon Spell.

I went all in, dashing next to Shadow Chanel in two steps and shouting, ”Slayer Slash!”

A ball of blue light flashed, and my strongest killing move landed!

However, Shadow Chanel suddenly stepped on the ground with a dismissive smile. A golden shield appeared around her, a life-saving Level 30 Mage skill—Magic Shield!

Pff!

The Slayer Slash softly hit the shield, but was unable to shatter it. However, it had taken away half of its durability, since my attack power was no joke.

I pulled my sword and the Magic Shield shattered with a pop!

Shadow Chanel stilled, hurriedly retreating as she threw an icicle.
