Chapter 58: Purple Marquis (1/2)
Walking through the forest path, the moonlight fell down on the ground like hoarfrost. Shadows of the countless trees fell on glistening ground. My Weeping Fire Blade in hand, I strode forward with a calm expression. Lin Yixin was next to me, following and stepping on my shadow.
The mountain wind carried cries of wolves and roars of tigers through the range.
I looked over at Lin Yixin. Her Fire Blade was floating nearby. It wasn’t slow. Its attack power was strong, likely not too far off from my Dark Wasp.
”Soon, Mad Dragon will organize a large group to fight bosses above Level 60,” I said after a moment of thought.
Lin Yixin laughed softly. ”Let them do as they want~”
”Would you like Mad Dragon to dominate Floating Ice City?” I turned to look at her.
Lin Yixin looked at me and said with a smile, ”Aren't you supposed to be smart? Why don't you think then? The people who wouldn’t want that to happen are not us, it’s the Gods of Destruction guild. Dominating Heaven Blade will not just idly sit by.”
”Hm, a reasonable deduction.” I nodded and changed the topic. ”Beauty Yi, how many experts have you recruited now?”
”Oh...”
Lin Yixin closed her eyes and then her eyes moved away when she opened them. she said with a smile, ”Three: Qingqing, Zi Chuanyu, Lifetaking Sword. What about you?”
”Two, Thirteen and Gui Guzi...”
”...” Lin Yixin tilted her head at me as though she saw something very amusing.
”What is with your look?” I felt my hair raise at her look.
Lin Yixin burst into laughter. “In Bloody Mercenaries, you are a solid 9, Gui Guzi a 4, and that Amazing Expert… I feel that giving him a 1 would be a big exaggeration…”
I nodded. ”Your evaluation is really pertinent...”
”Keke~”
……
As we walked, shadows flickered ahead, and a grinding group of five appeared ahead. One was a Level 33 warrior called ”Purple Marquis”. He wore blue armor that looked Steel-grade, his strength was considerable. His party consisted of a Level 32 magic knight, “Reflection”, a Level 30 mage called “Guest of World’s End”, a priest, and a tactician, who were both Level 29.
This team was really strong, and that Purple Marquis and Reflection both seemed to be rare experts!
My gaze turned cold and I whispered, ”Careful, they’re not friendly!”
”Why?” Lin Yixin asked.
I smiled. ”Beauty Yi, you might be strong, but your experience is lacking. Just look at them. Warrior and magic knight in the front, priest and a mage as support behind them, and at the very back, a tactician. This is clearly a battle formation. Would they take positions if they wanted to just pass by?”
”Okay.”
I strode forward. Suddenly, I raised my sword, perpetually shrouded in orange flame, as red hue spanned across the edge. Living targets ahead, my Undead Energy passive activated!
Without a word, Reflection pounced at me with Flame Thrust!
My blade moved, and the spear was thrown away with a ”ding”. My body shook and 100 HP was taken away. This magic knight's attack power wasn’t low!
”Slayer Slash!”
I pressed the Weeping Fire Blade against Reflection’s shoulder and dealt 487 damage, but against a magic knight with over 800 HP, it didn’t stop him from retreating with half HP.
At this time, cold wind blew over, accompanying arrival of Purple Marquis. He directed his sword toward my waist at a difficult angle. While I could see clearly, the other was so fast, faster than my half-second delay, giving me no chance to even dodge!
Pfft!
312!
Such great attack power!
At the same time, Guest of World's End chanted a spell. A flaming dragon burst out of the ground, leaping toward my location. It was the Level 20 Mage skill—Fire Dragon Roar.
My body was immediately bathed by dragon’s flames. A large chunk of my HP disappeared—301!
So terrifying. I completely underestimated their strength!
The Purple Marquis's attacks were unusually fierce. After his successful attack, he immediately zigzagged to my other side, and attacked a second time!
I had practiced this set of movements during my many years of PvP experience. What followed demonstrated my ability to judge the situation. Before Purple Marquis begun his maneuver, I had already moved. When he slashed with his sword, I backstepped ever so slightly, turned around, and gave him a hearty blow to the back.
Crack!
389!
Sparks flew. My blow caused Purple Marquis to frown. His HP was about 650. If I added one more blow, he would be killed instantly!
The second blow was already midway. His reaction was within my prediction. What I did not predict however, was the pillar of holy light coming down on his location.
+224!
Damn, he healed him in just a second? This priest is also very powerful!
