Chapter 895: Wrecking the Knights
Translator: alyschu
Pachak!
I dismounted when the Armored Ice Qilin Horse suddenly leaped into the air, and before Galaxy Breaker Mage could react, I hit his Origin Energy Shield twice with the Purple Ying Sword. His magic shield distorted and lost at least 75% of its durability.
"Ah?!"
Galaxy Breaker Mage was shocked. He had no idea how fast I had become until now. After he Blinked about 20 yards away from me, he waved his scepter and growled, "Die, Lu Chen!"
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh...
Countless icicles rained from the sky. It was Galaxy Breaker Mage’s signature skill, Iceflame Drill!
Icicles wreathed in flames rained at random across a wide area. Since I had dismounted, I had slowed down to a point where it wasn’t possible to escape the spell. Therefore, I simply raised the Dragon God Shield in front of me and ran toward Galaxy Breaker Mage in a straight line.
Chiang chiang chiang...
The flaming icicles pounded against my shield repeatedly as multiple damage numbers rose above my head—
21773!
19293!
21277!
Galaxy Breaker Mage couldn’t hide his shock as he shouted, "What the fuck? Impossible! There’s no way my Iceflame Drill did so little damage..."
I chuckled. "Or maybe, you misjudged the strength of your Iceflame Drill."
......
At the viewing room, Beiming Xue cheered. "Big bro won!"
Butterfly Dance’s eyes widened in confusion. "What do you mean? Galaxy Breaker Mage is doing a lot of damage, not to mention that Iceflame Drill slows Lu Chen down too. There’s still a chance he can turn this around, right?"
A smiling Beiming Xue explained, "Big bro is a top-tier melee fighter, or, in my opinion, the best fighter in the entire world. That is why any mage who allows him to close the distance two times is basically dead. The first time is to break or weaken the shield, and the second time is to instakill them!"
Remains nodded in agreement. "Beiming is correct. Range is the lifeline of any mage. Galaxy Breaker Mage is doing pretty well already considering how long it took Lu Chen to close the distance between them. A weaker mage would’ve died to a basic attack from Lu Chen a long time ago."
Butterfly Dance asked, "But why didn’t Lu Chen just use Universe Break immediately? The skill ignores Origin Energy Shield, right? There’s a high chance it can one-shot Galaxy Breaker Mage immediately!"
He Yi smiled. "Here, let me roll back the video for you. You see this? When Lu Chen got close to Galaxy Breaker Mage, the latter had subconsciously backed away in an S-shaped pattern even though he was caught off-guard. As a first-rate mage, Galaxy Breaker Mage knows very well how best to dodge a deadly skill like Barrier Break. Even with Lu Chen’s skill, there was a 70% chance he would’ve missed and wasted a skill. That is why Lu Chen decided to take things one step at a time; to give Galaxy Breaker Mage no chance to turn this around."
......
At the same time, I finally found an opportunity to close the distance between myself and Galaxy Breaker Mage after losing around 25% HP. A pass later, I fired Thousand Ice Slash where the mage was before following up with Universe Break. The hunk of flaming easily pierced his Origin Energy Shield and killed him despite his attempt to retreat. I wasn’t done yet though. Even as his body began to digitize into white light, I threw the Purple Ying Sword and swept his fading body with Coiling Dragon Revolution!
Boom!
The skill utterly destroyed Galaxy Breaker Mage’s dead body, and the grassy ground split as if it was torn asunder by a god or a devil. In reality, it was just the Mountain Crush effect of the Purple Ying Sword triggering at this time!
It was 1:0. It didn’t take me a lot of effort to score a point at all.
Behind me, Beiming Xue, Lian Xin and the rest of the team clapped and cheered at the victory. Galaxy Breaker Mage was Hall of Immortality’s ace, and I, of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and I just proved I held the absolute advantage with this victory!
Galaxy Breaker Mage quickly returned to the battle arena. He asked me with clear confusion etched on his features, "What the hell was that, Lu Chen? My Iceflame Drill should’ve dealt a lot more damage than that!"
Ghost Deity Shield was still a secret, and this was just the preliminaries. I had no intention of revealing my trump card this quickly, so I simply shook my head and replied, "All you need to know is that your defeat is well-deserved."
"Hmph!"
Less than 30 seconds after the snort, I successfully threw Galaxy Breaker Mage’s rhythm into a complete disarray and sent him out of the battle arena once more. The Purple Ying Sword was just too powerful. He was dead the moment his shield weakened enough that I could break it and kill him within the same combo.
......
Just like that, the first match went to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Overall, it wasn’t a difficult fight.
The second match was between Lian Xin and Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch.
The cute and beautiful girl was standing in the middle of a snow map and holding her scepter upright. A magical ring that restored her MP quickly was surrounding her feet. In a PvP battle, MP was the lifeline of all mages, especially against high-level fighters who could delete over 50% MP with just one Rank 10 Frightening Slash. In my case, I could even delete a mage’s MP from 100 to 0 through the shield. Any mage worth their salt would be prepared to deal with this type of situation.
Swhoosh!
Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch appeared on the battlefield. His guild emblem gleamed a little on his shoulder as he glared at Lian Xin menacingly. "Lian Xing of the Four Great Elders of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, huh? I admit that your entrance during the Battle of Poplar Valley was a good one, and I am curious to know exactly how powerful you really are! Though, judging from your curves and relatively huge breasts, I’m sure that Lu Chen would’ve accepted you even if you turned out to be a useless piece of trash. Speaking of which, have you slept with him already?"
Lian Xin didn’t fall for his provocations. She simply stared back calmly and said, "Big brother Lu Chen isn’t the kind of person you think he is. I heard that your father is a deputy head or something? He must’ve embezzled a lot of money, or you wouldn’t have had the guts to invest this much money into this game. Look at you. What else do you know besides burning your money for equipment?"
Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch gritted his teeth and swore angrily, "What the fuck did you just say, you little bitch? I dare you to say it again to my face!"
Lian Xin obliged. "Trust fund dog. Beat me if you can, or you’ll always just be a trust fund dog!"
"Motherfucker!"
It looked like blood was about to shoot out of his eyes. He raised his blade and charged straight toward Lian Xin like crazy.
Bang!
Suddenly, a formless wall appeared in his path, and it was none other than Lian Xin’s Origin Force Field. Caught completely off-guard, Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch flattened himself against the transparent force field that was as hard as tempered glass and lost over 30k HP. The intelligent Lian Xin continued dropping more Origin Force Fields in the knight’s way to stall him even further.
The humiliation enraged Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch, and he had long since forgotten about basic running patterns such as Z-pattern running or S-pattern that could’ve helped him. As a result, he kept running his face into force field after force field, and by the time he finally got close enough to use a skill he had already lost over 140k HP. He was lucky he had a whopping 270k HP, or it would’ve been one of the most humiliating defeats he could suffer in his life.
"Die, bitch!"
The enraged Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch waved his weapon and launched Furious Slash at Lian Xin. A flaming aura roared toward the mage and engulfed her!
Boom!
Lian Xin’s Telekinetic Shield bent a little and lost 7% durability, proving that for all his flaws, Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch did possess a lot of Attack.
However, Lian Xin didn’t move from her spot. She just fired Freezing Arrow after Freezing Arrow into the guild leader’s face until he finally got close to her. At this point, he only had a sliver of HP left.
"Die, bitch!"
Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch raised his weapon and used Barrier Break. It was clear that the dude had completely lost his mind to rage.
Lian Xin withdrew her smile in an instant and took a couple of steps to the side. Just like that, she dodged the skill and forced a MISS.
At the same time, she moved behind Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch and jumped into the air. Then, she swung her Thunder God Scepter at the back of the guild leader’s head!
Thud!
4892!
The strike doubled as a killing blow, and Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch dropped to his knees. Thud! The guild leader was absolutely furious, but there was nothing he could do to defy death. Not only was he toyed by the mage from start to finish, the way he died could only be described as exceptionally humiliating. Who would’ve thought that a magic knight with a hidden class and top-tier equipment would die to a blunt attack from a mage?
......
"Lian Xin is growing more and more violent these days..." I said with certainty.
He Yi nodded. "She wouldn’t have fought Beauty Lin otherwise."
Murong Mingyue jumped in. "She did it for you, you ungrateful girl."
He Yi immediately turned red in the face and glared at me. "Alright, enough! One more word and I’ll punish you!"
Me: "..."
......
Lian Xin had taken out Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch a second time while we were chatting with each other. She stalled the guild leader with Origin Force Fields just like last time, but instead of toying with him she threw Ice Spiral Matrix beneath his feet. Even with his ridiculous amount of HP, it didn’t take long for the spell to cut him into a million pieces.
Lian Xin’s movement was way better than Galaxy Breaker Mage’s, and she knew how to maximize the effectiveness of her skills. She never allowed Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch to get close to her once she turned serious. It was enough skill to place her firmly above most people.
It was 2:0. The second match was an easy win as well.
Swhoosh!
After Lian Xin returned to us, she asked us with a smile, "How was it?"
I praised her, "It was very well done. Now take your rest and watch your boss destroy the enemy!"
"Mn!"
......
The third match was He Yi versus Wing Breaker. Wing Breaker was a beastman, and his Attack scaling was even higher than my class’s. 5 Strength was equal to 3 to 5 Attack for me, but I heard that his 5 Strength was equal to 4 to 6 Attack, not to mention that he was a player who put all 5 stat points into Strength at every level up, just like me. He also had a siege attribute that made him invaluable when attacking cities or territories. Of course, I was just as, if not more, devastating as he was with the Purple Ying Sword!
