Chapter 503 Fearless Ego 2/3 (1/2)

The pure light beam burst into the sky and the whizzing gale weakened dramatically. When one reached the capabilities of Mini Bubble Gum and Daviet, often times one wouldn't need to exchange blows physically because the collision of their aggression would be enough to settle the differences. The Mist Sword Saint hadn't activated his Order Dimension and Mini Bubble Gum's Light attacks had already pushed him down. This proved that the little girl's strength was above his!

But this was merely the start.

The Mist Sword Saint was astonished that this little girl actually possessed such formidable strength. But this wasn't enough to frighten him into a fool. He was merely distracted for a moment and when he gazed at the little girl, she had aimed her tiny right palm at him and clenched.

Nothing happened. The Mist Sword Saint wasn't hurt in any way and the surroundings remained the same. However…

”This is…?!” The Mist Sword Saint had begun to fear for his life because, along with Bubble's movement, the gathering Wind Elemental storm had disappeared all of a sudden!

It felt as though a fully blown balloon had been pricked and the air escaped from the hole quickly, leaving a shriveled rubber in its place. Fortunately for the Mist Sword Saint, he determined the situation swiftly with his rich battle experience and he stopped his actions as soon as he realized something was off.

'Fade'.

Rhode twitched his brows as he grinned secretly. A Cleric was never a class in the frontlines. Due to this reason, Clerics had plenty of disgustingly useful skills. This 'Fade' skill that Bubble used could be ranked in the top three most vicious skills in Cleric skill books. There was a single use for this skill and to the players, it was extremely deadly.

In simple player's term, Skill Lock.

Players affected by this skill wouldn't be able to cast any skills or spells that required their spiritual energy. Moreover, even though their skills were locked, their spiritual energy would still be consumed if they tried to! The players would be consuming their spiritual energy but couldn't cast any skills, and there was nothing more annoying than this.

Furthermore, players couldn't resist or dodge this legendary skill. The Cleric could cast this skill at a group of targets and could also aim at an individual. There was no dispelling or avoiding this skill. However, same level opponents who were struck by this skill would be affected by a shorter duration and it would depend on their willpower and spell-resistance to shorten the duration of its effects. For those lower level players, they could only cry their way to the end as long as they were struck by it.

As for the Mist Sword Saint, he was in the middle level of the Legendary Stage and was between level 70 to 75. He was behind Bubble by 10 levels and this Fade skill could lock him from between 15 to 30 minutes. During this period, the Mist Sword Saint wouldn't be able to cast his famous Mist Realm and all he could do was rely on his swordsmanship against Bubble.

Rhode had an idea about Bubble's plan to defeat this Sword Saint. Even though she might seem to be blowing her top, she could get craftier than anyone if she wanted to. Due to this, Rhode observed a moment of silence in tribute to the Mist Sword Saint.

Go with a peace of mind, Sir Sword Saint.

Meanwhile, the Mist Sword Saint was struggling. Damn it!

The Mist Sword Saint struggled to figure out what Bubble had done to him. He had seen all kinds of situations in his many years, but this was the first time he had witnessed such a strange skill. How did this little girl do it?

Daviet realized that she was attempting to limit his strength. But do you think this will work on me? This little girl is only a Cleric and judging from her movements, her body doesn't seem to have gone through vigorous toughening. I know that Clerics are also equipped with defensive spells, but did she really think that locking my Mist Realm would be enough to defeat me? Wishful thinking!

The Mist Sword Saint raised his exaggeratingly long sword and sized up the little girl. Meanwhile, Bubble lifted her chin proudly and returned his gaze with a disdainful smile. She pointed her index finger forward and hooked tauntingly.

Come if you got the guts.

”—!” The veins on the Mist Sword Saint's forehead bulged dramatically. He wouldn't be this mad if his opponent were nothing more than just a little brat. But now, not only was she much younger than him, but she also was stronger than him. An unprecedented wrath was burning inside Daviet. So what if a Cleric like you knows some mysterious skills? I have fought countless spellcasters before you!

Although he wasn't able to cast his proudest Mist Realm and Nine Heaven Dance, the Fade skill was only able to affect and lock the powers of his skills and wouldn't affect his physical attributes. The Mist Sword Saint disappeared in a blink of an eye and at the next moment, multiple blade rays from different directions formed a shapeless huge claw and slashed towards the petite girl.

Clang! The translucent air around Bubble wobbled and erupted into a string of blaze. As a weapon of the legendary Sword Saint, the longsword in his hands was far from ordinary: 'Daybreak'. Rumor had it that this longsword was one of the weapons that were made when this continent was first created. Of course, this mere rumor wasn't able to conceal this formidable legendary weapon. The number of swordsman players in the game aware of this sword meant that its value wasn't just limited to its myths and legends.

A mark emerged along with the ear-deafening collision and this was the symbolic sign of the Daybreak. It could draw the surrounding Wind Element and convert it into his own strength. Even though the 'Maelstrom' skill that came with Daybreak was an outstanding AOE attack, Daviet couldn't bear to use it on this little girl due to his own pride.

But Bubble wasn't this respectful. The little girl let out a snort and pushed her arms upwards like a music conductor conducting an orchestra performance. Then, she slid her left hand downwards elegantly.

A translucent light halo expanded beneath her feet and shortly after, several dusky gray halos flashed around her as they revolved.

Everything seemed to have slowed down on the land shrouded with gray halos and the crumbled weeds around her feet began to sway gradually due to the blade airflow. Rhode and Christie witnessed a butterfly struggling to expand its colorful wings fully even after three seconds.
