Chapter 144: Song of Cloud and Water (1/2)
I took a deep breath, and activated the Charge skill. I locked onto the only mage that had yet to cast his Magic Shield!
Swoosh!
I immediately arrived, my sword already in motion. A basic attack was enough to kill him!
I turned around, and Thousand Mirage Slash roared out!
Boom!
Three mages were immediately engulfed by the AoE attack, but three MISS messages appeared over their heads. While the skill didn’t do any damage to them, it was far from useless. After all, it had completely worn down their Magic Shields.
I quickly chased the retreating mages, their faces full of shock. Before they could recover their posture, my Ghost Ice Soul flashed before their eyes, covering their vision with its intimidating sheen!
Slayer Slash! Ice Ray!
1203!
2304!
Another critical hit! Peachy!
I had dealt with three mages. On the other side, Beiming Xue's Devil Piercing Arrow flew out, and pinned the fourth mage to the walls of the arena.
Du Thirteen and Mamate's eyes were red as they shouted revenge for Gui Guzi and tore apart the fifth mage!
1:0. We were ahead!
Gui Guzi was once again transferred into the arena. He wiped away cold sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, ”That gave me a fright. This group of corn has strong magic attack. That Ice Dragon Howl is so fucking scary. They instantly took almost three thousand HP from me, terrifying!”
I smiled. ”It's alright, we won!”
Gui Guzi nodded. ”Ugh, Boss Broken Halberd's attacks and movement are so extraordinary. If you weren’t there, the four of us would have undoubtedly been defeated!”
I shook my head and smiled. ”Everyone has to work together in a battle like this. One or two people are basically useless. But Little Gui, what is your Magic Resist? Why did the Ice Dragon Howl take so much of your HP?”
Gui Guzi was slightly embarrassed. ”It’s a bit shameful. I only have 90 Magic Resist. What about you, Boss Broken Halberd?”
I looked and said, ”228 Magic Resist. Ghost Deity Armor improves both physical and magic defenses, so my overall stat should be at about 269.04 points.”
”Whoa~~” Beiming Xue gaped. ”Boss, your mental calculation is so amazing~~”
I moved the system calculator back into the interface and said with a smile, ”No kidding, I was a merit student in elementary school!”
Beiming Xue's eyes were dazzled, and her reverence reached even greater heights. Mamate and Du Thirteen drooled at the sight. This girl looked so adorable and innocent...
At this time, white light flashed and the five mages appeared again. The second round was about to start!
I gripped my longsword and said, ”If we win this, we’ll enter the Top 16!”
I looked in praise at him. The kid had learned to think. He might really grow into a tactical genius in the future.
”This time, I will be the bait. Gui Guzi will charge. Beiming Xue, take the opportunity and use Volley to break one or two of their Magic Shields. Once they’re down, Gui Guzi will rush in and kill them!”
”How will you be the bait?” Beiming Xue looked at me.
I rubbed my chin and said with a smile, ”Just watch, mountain men have their own tricks!”
Du Thirteen glared at me. ”Old man Zhuge?”
”Get lost!”
……
In the blink of an eye, the system started the countdown. The second round was about to start.
I quickly pulled out the local map from the system tools and locked onto the five mages’ positions. I put in the distance of 40 yards. A red circle was highlighted on the map. It was their attack range.
”Kill!”
I suddenly pulled out my sword and charged, directing the Dark Wasp to attack as well. The other people in the team also released their various pets. There was a Pheasant, a Green Praying Mantis, a Wasp, a Purple Butterfly. So colorful, like a circus!
Looking at me charging over, One Corn had a smile on his face. ”Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, you are courting death!”
Ice Dragon Howl!
The five mages casted the spell together. The skill of a third-promotion mage was extremely domineering and even the sky overhead changed color!
Yet just as I moved a few yards forward, I made a beautiful turn and accelerated. I neared the borders of the highlighted area on my map and successfully left their effective attack range. Theoretically, when a mage’s target left their range without breaking line of sight, their spell’s accuracy would be greatly reduced!
Five ice dragons slammed down from the sky!
Boom boom boom!
MISS!
MISS!
563!
MISS!
497!
Three Ice Dragon Howls missed altogether, and my Magic Resist was higher than Gui Guzi’s to begin with. The five enemy mages gaped. ”Damn, you could do that?”
