A huge damage number flew up while the Thunder Beast shrieked one last time before dying.
My Emperor Qin’s Sword trembled as it accumulated energy for me to activate a [Wind Blade]!
Fang Ge Que bit down as he raised his fan. With a “Keng,” he blocked my attack. Actually no, he didn’t block it. His entire body slid backward from the impact of my slash, increasing the distance between us. Fang Ge Que suddenly pushed his hand against the earth while frost gathered on his paper fan. With a wave, he activated – [Spiral Ice Dance]!
This skill was Fang Ge Que’s proudest possession as it could bind the opponent!
I quickly evaded with a [Blade Rush], causing a MISS to fly up behind me. With [Haste] I quickly charged forward and within moments, I arrived right before Fang Ge Que. I twisted my blade and slashed at him!
“Keng!”
Once again I forced Fang Ge Que backward. Simultaneously I punched the ground which caused the earth to tremble; a chain broke through the earth and flew right at Fang Ge Que!
Fang Ge Que cried out and quickly used another [Dimensional Leap]!
“Shua!”
With another wave of his fan, [Blazewind Lock]+[Ice Rock Blast] both came right at me. On top of that, I wasn’t that far from him, but since [Blade Rush] and [Haste] were on cooldown, there was no way to dodge!
2718!
+1200!
1727!
I took the attack head on. But, before the [Ice Rock Blast] was released I also activated [Shield of the Crimson Dragon] and raised my sword as I charged straight toward Fang Ge Que. At the same time [Recovery of the Dragon Knight]’s healing also activated; and just like that, the 100 Rage that I had when I began the fight were used up. This time, I had to put my life on the line!
Fang Ge Que furrowed his eyebrows. As he retreated, he also began to kite. As his hand flashed, an [Indigo Sea Arrow] shot at me from 7 yards away. It was hard to dodge so I just bit down and charged forward!
“MISS!”
The magic resistance effect from my Magic Spite Armor appeared, causing a MISS. Fang Ge Que’s eyes widened as he cried out, “F*ck, how!?”
“Hummm”
I raised my Emperor Qin’s Sword and brought down another heavy slash. Fang Ge Que’s body trembled slightly. His shoulder revealed a long bloody cut. The [Black Tortoise Shield] finally broke! My Emperor Qin’s Sword dealt 711 damage!
However, Fang Ge Que remained as calm as ever and with a wave of his hand he touched my armor, [Spiral Ice Dance]!
Two paths of frost began to crawl up my Dragon Knight’s Boots in a spiral, locking them in place. In that instant, I jolted my arm, landing a left punch right into Fang Ge Que’s arm. Moreover, this hit had interrupted Fang Ge Que’s third [Dimensional Leap]. God only knows how since [Dimensional Leap] had just 0.1 seconds of cast time. It was basically an instant spell, and yet I interrupted it!
Leaning close to the ground, I charged 8 yards forward. Fang Ge Que stood up and waved his paper fan. In those 2 precious seconds the [Spiral Ice Dance] bought, he already activated several spells. [Blazewind Lock]+[Ice Rock Blast]+[Fire Ice Storm] all activated at once!
2719!
3112!
3233!
……
My body suddenly weakened and I knew, I had been killed……
“Shua!”
I was sent out of the arena as I stood there, clenching my fist. I stupidly stood there, silent. My heart kept on recalling every detail of that battle. There had to be something that I didn’t do right, or else how could I lose to Fang Ge Que just like before?!
I looked toward my friends around me as I murmured, “What happened? I still lost…”
Wan Er lightly leaned against the pillar as she stared down at the tiles and said, “Fang Ge Que’s cast speed is just too short. To think that a high level skill like [Blazewind Lock] didn’t have a casting time, just his aiming delay. Even [Spiral Ice Dance], a crowd control spell only needed 8 seconds of cooldown. Even if you dodged the first attack, you didn’t dodge the second. That’s the reason you lost.”
I took a deep breath and said, “[Haste] can only last 15 seconds, whereas his three [Dimensional Leaps] can take away those 15 seconds. [Spiral Ice Dance]’s cooldown is so short too whereas my [Great Realm of Desolation] has a 12 second cool down. Even if I could break his [Black Tortoise Shield] within 12 seconds, I would only have 2-5 seconds where I can only take on his beating. Fang Ge Que’s magic damage is just too high. My [Shield of the Crimson Dragon] won’t be able to take it.”
General Li Mu patted my shoulder and said, “Guild Master, actually, I think that no matter how much you plan and calculate, you can only bet everything on luck. You need to break through Fang Ge Que’s [Black Tortoise Shield] first, and then kill him in seconds. Don’t deal with that pet Thunder Beast of his!”
