MMORPG: The Elementalist

Chapter 529 - The Fight between the Tier 5 Veterans and Demon Evasion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The battle between Netherspirit's Menace and Dark Dragon was extremely intense, dropping every spectator's jaw to the ground. From the first Tier 5 AoE magic attack bursting in the sky to the powerful mix of hurricane and hailstorm, the attacks never stopped. The shockwaves of the elements and magic kept bombarding them again and again. It seemed that it would not stop ever.

It was not only difficult for the Tier 4 players to stay in the area. Even the Tier 5 champions were spooked by the swirling storms of wind and ice elements running amok in front of them.

The "Hurricane Hailstorm" was so thick that it was impossible to see through it to find out what happened inside. Yet, as the magic storm started to get nastier, they also knew that the battle was getting to the climax. The AoE spell not only had not stopped but the intensity and quantity were increasing by the second. They did not know those were all cast by Dark Dragon though.

Suddenly, after the fourth wave of AoE magic attacks, a few Tier 5 Elementalists finally were able to penetrate the magic storm using their Elemental Perception. Well, they did not have to do that though—the "Hurricane Hailstorm" was about to calm down too.

As the storm settled down, an utterly eerie scene appeared in front of everyone.

Dark Dragon was still hovering in the air but Netherspirit's Menace was directly below him. They were only a dozen meters from one another and both their barriers were still intact and undamaged.

Unbelievable!

It was such an intense battle. Both of them must have endured so much damage by now and yet not a scratch on their barrier? Did they reactivate their barriers after every exchange of blows?

Then, they noticed something else that was also very peculiar—Dark Dragon's pet, the Misty Beast, had disappeared.

***

The spectators' Elemental Perceptions were all activated again, detecting and viewing the battleground from every corner. Naturally, it was the same for the two combatants too. After re-activating their perceptions, they started hurling Wind Darts and Frost Arrows at one another.

This time though, Dark Dragon had locked onto his opponent. Thus, his attacks were not missed.

He saw how Netherspirit's Menace killed his pet right under his nose after he used every single one of his AoE Magic Scroll.

Fortunately, his Misty Beast did not die in vain. It was able to help stall his opponent until everyone's Elemental Perception was recovered. Dark Dragon was able to destroy his Darkfrost Shield in retaliation.

Yet, Dark Dragon's own shield was also shattered by Qin Ruo's attack—an attack that was even more powerful than the one he dished on him. His equipment was a full Legendary set, one that was much more powerful than Raziel's. It was so unthinkable that his attack's damage would lose to his opponent's.

The battle finally was coming to an end.

Both combatants did not evade attacks. Both combatants did not take more potions. Both combatants just hurled the most fatal magic attacks they had in their arsenals at one another.

Just like that. Direct hits on each other.

Until their last breaths.

***

Groowwl!

Three huge Lycan Barrages let out long growls as they charged at their target after Qin Ruo's first wave of consecutive Frost Arrows. Even though he had taken out the Misty Beast, Qin Ruo did not lower his guard.

Indeed, his HP was now over three thousand. However, Dark Dragon probably had the same amount of HP too. This Dark Dragon had advanced to Tier 5 a long time ago. Naturally, he must have acquired several Legendary equipment throughout his gaming career.

However, his gears' advantage was not all that overwhelming.

After Elemental Perception was recovered, Qin Ruo knew he must act quickly. Every single mistake would be his last if he were to make them. Thus, without hesitation he threw everything he had at his opponent—penetrating shields with Frost Arrows, hurling out powerful Lycan Barrages and also launching a salvo of Frost Bullets.

The Frost Bullets came right after the Lycan Barrages, all landed on Dark Dragon's barrier. However, he put a small disguise on them—to the spectators, it was a trio of huge swords made of ice hitting Dark Dragon's body.

***

Dark Dragon also was following the same train of thought as Qin Ruo.

Before he was able to destroy Netherspirit's Menace's Darkfrost Shield, he hurled out three golden shockwaves, made of wind elements, while activating his equipment's skill "Invisible Airblade". To activate magic attacks using magic scrolls, one must allow a second or two for it to be activated. However, if it was using the skill that was already enchanted on his equipment, it would only take a split second.

Every strike was about 500 to 600 points of damage. If one were to take out the damage dealt on Qin Ruo's shield and barrier, each attack that landed on him was about 400 points.

It was more than enough to kill an Elementalist with this series of combo attacks.

Yet, the next thing he saw three ice swords darting at him.

***

Woosh!

Suddenly, Dark Dragon vanished from under Qin Ruo's nose.

Teleport. He had finally used it…

Qin Ruo extended his perception and found Dark Dragon thirty meters away. He gulped down a potion and then spread out his Angelic Wings to stabilize himself in the air. Then, he waved his staff to direct his Lycan Barrages and ice swords back to the battleground while re-activating his Darkfrost Shield.

In an instant, Qin Ruo had now lost his edge in battle.

Even the veterans who were spectating at the side of the battleground were shocked to see how fast Dark Dragon could perform his teleport technique—"Demon Evasion".

"Good one!"

"Get him!"

A beam of excitement rushed through Eight Gods' bloodstream. He let out a roaring cheer to applaud Dark Dragon and also let out his repressed resentments.

Even Dark Dragon had recovered his confidence. He did it! He was able to land his attacks and regain the upper hand. After Dark Dragon warped out from his teleportation, he saw "Netherspirit's Menace" spread out his Angelic Wings and started to back away.

"Oh, now you're fleeing?"

Dark Dragon flapped his wings and gave chase after him. The speed of the Aeromancer was formidable indeed—he was able to shorten their distance from forty meters to thirty meters in just a few seconds. Dark Dragon smiled wryly as he flung out three "Kisses of Swans", chasing the fleeing Aquamancer. He was able to picture the moment of demise of the Aquamancer in front of him.

"Die!" Dark Dragon let out a loud roar.

Just as he thought he was winning, Dark Dragon suddenly heard Netherspirit's Menace's loud ominous laugh. Then, the Aquamancer sped up and dashed thirty meters ahead of him. His speed was even faster than that of the Aeromancers', the class that was renowned for their movement speed. Dark Dragon's attacks not only missed, but there was also a new layer of Darkfrost Shield on his opponent.

Swoosh!

As soon as his Darkfrost Shield was reactivated, Qin Ruo turned back to Dark Dragon, who was watching in disbelief, and waved Lycan Barrages and "ice swords" toward him from two different directions.

Dark Dragon's body was rammed off of his course and into the "swords" on the other side by the Lycan Barrages. When his viciously shredded body slumped to the ground, the battle was over.

***

The battle was over as the spectators were overwhelmed by the intensity of the last three seconds of the battle.

The pace and tide of the battle shifted twice in that last three seconds. Both Dark Dragon and Netherspirit's Menace were checkmated by their opponents. Yet, they both were able to pull themselves out of the gutter in the last instant. The spectators' hearts were beating so hard that they thought they were getting a cardiac arrest.

Even Remorseless Warrior was thrilled to watch the battle.

This battle was a great performance, unlike the one-shot battle with Raziel. This time the spectators were able to watch both sides exchanging and countering blows. The displayed combat techniques and strategies were brilliant. Every single move was fatal making every mistake a grave one.

"Phew…"

Remorseless Warrior was satisfied and relieved to have not missed such an exciting duel.

"Dark Dragon has lost. But he has lost fair and square."

The spectators around him nodded in agreement. Dark Dragon was not able to defeat Netherspirit's Menace when he had the upper hand and then got cornered by the latter. It was obvious that Netherspirit's Menace was stronger.

"If he summons his pet, who knows how much stronger he'll get."

"It's no wonder that this kid was able to flash out two Divinity Crystals. Even though he did not seem any stronger than Winter Demon, his strength was more than enough to take out an Ultimate Boss… tsk tsk, Fallen Angels sure know how to recruit these overpowered monsters!"

***

The Fallen Angels' members were overjoyed.

A veteran Champion! This guy was definitely a veteran champion!

"Xiaoxiao! Who's the genius who recruited this dude? Damn, he could even defeat Dark Dragon easily. We'll see if Netherclaw could still come show us his ugly face again…" Black Rock enthusiastically shouted in the clan chat channel.

Several seconds later, Xiaoxiao glanced at Savis Town and then turned to her four Field Commanders. "They're here. Get ready!"
