Chapter 205: Overload
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Misty Moon’s entire body froze on the spot.
This was a side effect of the lightning strike, which was to temporarily paralyze her.
Of course, this paralysis would not be as effective as Clutch King’s Lightning Spear.
This paralysis was only temporary.
Sometimes, it might not even get the opponent into a paralyzed state, but a short stun. This was because the effects of that lightning strike would appear randomly.
Moreover, there was no high chance to trigger it.
It was a hidden attribute.
Snow Chaser’s ranged Wrath of Thunder skill had a 100% stun effect. However, the single shot Thunderous Summon skill did not.
If it was not for the short duration skill, Snow Chaser would have been very happy to use Wrath of Thunder instead.
However, under the current circumstances, being able to release purple lightning was already considered a win.
“D*mn it, I’m actually stuck. Don’t look so smug. If you were two seconds slower, I would’ve killed you already.”
“You’ve already lost your chance to do that.”
“What right do you have to say that?”
Snow Chaser did not say anything.
Misty Moon’s body suddenly started to crack, she felt strange as she looked at her own body.
Originally, there were only a few spots where the lightning made her paralyzed.
Those spots even sparked with lightning.
On the rostrum, Misty World had noticed something going on.
He glanced at Li Yi, who was eating a steamed bun in peace.
The small sparks and lightning gradually intertwined with each other.
It was as though the two were battling with each other. Neither of them wanted to lose to the other. In order to be stronger than the other, it kept growing.
In the end, the sparks and the lightning enlarged, and the entanglement between the two deeper and deeper.
The crackling sounds even started to get louder and louder.
Finally, with that, a series of explosions occurred on Misty Moon’s body.
Misty World looked at the scene on the field, his eyes filled with surprise.
As an observant player, how could he not understand what had happened.
“Overload!”
This was a special phenomenon that only occurred when the thunder element and fire element were together.
Was this a coincidence?
It did not seem like it.
If it was a coincidence, Li Yi would not have been this calm the entire time.
Could it be that Li Yi and the others had known about this outcome from the beginning?
Was that why they had nothing to fear?
It was already turning into a disaster for the Misty Rain Guild.
Was the mixing between these elements something Snow Chaser could control?
If that was the case, it would be terrifying.
The next second, Misty World confirmed his thoughts.
Snow Chaser got up from the ground.
“Elemental Research, Overload!”
This was the only new element that Snow Chaser had researched on. When fire and thunder elements get mixed together, they would explode and cause explosive damage.
For example, lightning strike would deal 100 damage and fire would deal 50, the basic damage accumulated would be 150.
After becoming overloaded with both elements, the damage would double.
That would equate the damage to 300.
However, this was not the most frightening aspect of Elemental Research.
When a new element appears on the field, players could use this new element directly.
This also meant that when the overload appeared… The thunder element and fire element on the field could be combined at will and overload the opponent.
“-5,210!”
“-5,122!”
“-5,011!”
...
Right now, Snow Chaser had the thunder element and fire element around her.
After the first overload burst, Snow Chaser immediately triggered several more overload bursts.
This series of damage was a devastating attack to Misty Moon.
All of this happened too quickly.
The audience did not understand what was going on.
They only saw Misty Moon being struck by lightning after she slashed with her sword. Then, red numbers kept appearing above her head.
This series of explosions defeated her. Everything happened too quickly, and it was an unbelievable sight for everyone to see.
“What happened just now?”
“I don’t understand.”
“Is that a new skill?”
“Could it be a curse or something?”
“Are you stupid? She’s just a Mage. How can she curse others?”
Everyone in the audience was at a loss, they did not know how to make sense of everything.
Breezy Lake held the crystal ball in his hands and could not uncover the truth.
He had come here to rely on the crystal ball to determine the strength of the Misty Rain Guild and Carefree Station.
Unfortunately, they were all blocked by this barrier, causing the crystal ball to be rendered useless.
Misty Moon, who had fainted from the explosion, had wisps of smoke coming out of her hair.
[System Announcement: First match goes to Carefree Station — Snow Chaser wins.]
[System Announcement: Carefree Station 1 and Misty Rain Guild 0.]
“Thank you for the one point.”
“Not at all, this was all obtained by the strength of your players.”
Both sides praised each other, but their hearts were filled with ulterior motives.
After the competition ended, Misty Moon returned to her original state.
“I underestimated you, you’re really strong.”
Standing up, Misty Moon walked forward and shook hands with Snow Chaser.
Just like that, the two players had a friendly exchange.
After this battle, Misty Moon no longer had the arrogant personality she had in the beginning. She also let go of her prejudice against Mages.
Misty Moon had been in the Misty Rain Guild for a long time. Aside from Misty World, she looked down on everyone else in the guild. Especially those Mages with weak attack power.
Thus, when she fought Snow Chaser, she looked down on her greatly.
However, after this battle, she had more or less changed her perception of them.
Snow Chaser attacks were calculated, and this last continuous attack was indeed a stroke of genius.
It was so calculative, that even though she roughly knew what was going on, she could not stop it from happening.
However, if Snow Chaser did not use the Fireball spells to scatter the sparks on Misty Moon’s body in advance, this last purple lighting might have been useless.
Although it seemed like random attacks, it was actually premeditated.
This was an upper hand that Snow Chaser had over Misty Moon — intelligence.
Opponents who used their brains to fight were often much more difficult to deal with than those who relied solely on brute force.
This was also the reason why Misty Moon admired Misty World.
It was clear that he could control thousands of troops.
The previous war had been like this. It was a battle between many players including each city’s armies. The person behind this that controlled everyone was none other than Misty World.
He had already controlled everyone, including the soldiers, in the palm of his hands.
Even Li Yi was under his control.
Even now, Li Yi still had to compete with Misty World for the first place.
From this, it could be seen that Misty World was truly powerful.
This kind of power that Misty World had made Misty Moon willingly follow in his footsteps and adore him.
In this battle, the weakest was actually Misty Moon, that was why she was willing to go first.
This was the formidable aspect of Misty World.
Of course, Li Yi understood this as well.
Since Misty World wanted to play this game, then he would definitely take another path to overcome this.
The second round officially began.
Misty Rain Guild sent out a man with two blades in one hand.
He was ranked number 15th on the level leaderboard.
It was Misty Whirlwind, who had also reached level 30.
On the other hand, the player that came out from Carefree Station’s was Clutch King, who had already reached level 31.
