Matcha’s feminine body floated aimlessly in the wind as she held her longsword. She narrowed her eyes to look at me and whispered, “Boss, what is the adjustment degree/angle, where do I go to find it?”
As I sprinted across the frost and snow covered ground, I yelled out, “Never mind the controls, remember to turn your body at the right time. Fly northeast at 45 degrees; I will meet up with you half way to help cover you!”
“Oh…”
I drew my Frost Rain Sword and I threw Baby Bobo. With the speed boost from my throw, Baby Bobo charged ahead like lighting. A continuous 4 hit [Combo] damage appeared on top of a Lv 47 Mage’s [Mana Shield]. It didn’t break the Mage’s [Mana Shield], but the damage exceeded his maximum health by 20%. This caused the Wind Elf Mage to lose his flight ability,, making him fall directly downwards.
“Ka Cha!”
My body flew towards him as my sword pierced through the Mage’s neck. I broke through [Mana Shield] and dealt 1138 damage, killing him instantly. At the same, I stomped on the ground, jumping to a height of almost 6 meters. With both of my hands holding the sword,. I delivered a heavy cut to a Wind Elf Swordsman’s shoulder in mid air.
“783!”
In one blow, I took out his flying advantage and used a [Wind Blade] to insta-kill him!
……
“Pa Cha!”
I extended my hand to catch the bracers that the Swordsman just dropped. I quickly ordered Baby Bobo to attack another Wind Elf Archer. With a single hit, his flying advantage was taken care of which allowed me to easily bring them to their deaths.
“Peng!”
A gunshot sounded as my back suddenly started burning and I lost 400+ health. From behind me I heard Piggy say in an angry yell, “The three in the front hunt down Strawberry Matcha. The rest focus on Xiao Yao. Kill him first, Strawberry Matcha is nothing!”
In the air, 10 plus Wind Elf players turned around at the same time. In an instant, [Shattered Shot], [Pillar of Fire & Ice], and [Aimed Shot] all landed after me one after another. My body had the sensation of intense burning and chilling cold while my health almost dropped to zero.
“Go to hell!”
A Wind Elf Swordsman rushed down while his sword was surrounded with flames!
I stuck out my palm and activated [Reflect] as the spell’s effect started to swirl under my feet!
“Dong!”
1387!
The skill reflected 100% of the damage back to him. With a swing of the Frost Rain Sword, I finished off the rest of his health under his panicked gaze. The moment I landed, I started to roll onto the snow covered ground. One health potion and a [Heal] recovered my health to over 80%. But my right arm suddenly felt a chill, and I took 2 [Icicle] spells. The opponent’s high level Mages appeared across the snowy field; this time was going to be very dangerous!
……
As I sprinted, I counter attacked with my sword. At the same time, I kept an eye out for any updates from Matcha.
“Ahh!”
In the air, Matcha let out a shocked cry; she had taken a hit from a [Scatter Shot] which destroyed her wings. Her body fell down and with a loud “thump” and landed in the snowy field!
“Oww ow, it hurts…”
She stood up and rubbed her arms.
My heart in my throat, I yelled out, “Matcha, don’t move backwards, the abyss is behind you!”
“Ah? Boss…”
Matcha stood there dumbstruck. Then, realizing what I just said, she instinctively took a step back and started falling!
I thought of killing myself, to have gone through all that and yet… this dumb girl!
“Slash!”
Purple Dawn Boots stepping on snow, I got there within a couple of strides. With no hesitation I rushed over to the spot where Matcha fell and immediately jumped down. Finding Matcha, I quickly grabbed Matcha’s arm and held onto it tightly!
“Boss….”
Matcha lifted her head and looked at me, her eyes were all red, “I’m useless…”
I flashed a sunny smile, “How could you say that, you’ve proved your worth!”
“I…”
Without waiting for Matcha to finish talking, I pierced the mountain side with my sword. I needed to slow our falling speed to have even a chance of survival. Otherwise we would fall to our death like Liu Ying and the rest. We wouldn’t even get our dropped equipment back!
“Clang Clang Clang…”
The sword made an ear-piercing sound as it carved into the rock surface. I hugged Matcha as we slipped further down. Suddenly, we moved away from the cliff and our bodies were in the air as we rapidly descended 100 meters!
“Boss, there is a dried vine!” Matcha shouted out.
I quickly yelled back, “Hold onto me!”
Matcha extended her arms and quickly hugged me. At the same time, I reached out and grabbed onto the dried vine. As we slid down we heard a loud, “bang”, and the vine snapped. It could not support our weight since it had been dry for too long. In a panic I tried to wildly grab something. “Peng” Our fall suddenly stopped. Lifting my head to take a look, I saw that I grabbed a protruding rock. However, it was very sharp and my palm was pierced by it.
“Drip…Drip…”
Drops of fresh red blood fell from my palm onto Matcha’s nose. She looked at me and then at the rock. With red eyes that were on the verge of tears she asked, “Boss, does it hurt?”
I clenched my teeth, “Nope, piece of cake….”
“Boss….”
I looked ahead and said, “Matcha, the dried vine did not grow from the rock surface. It extends out from the cliff. Look for the roots of the vines, that can be our hiding spot.”
“Yes…”
Matcha looked around with her pair of pretty eyes. Suddenly she pointed with a finger, “Boss, quickly look, the dried vines are coming out from a cave. It’s about 3 meters away from us.”
“Okay, let’s climb up!”
I used the dagger that was dropped by an Assassin to stab into the protruding rock. Then I slowly climbed towards the cave as I used all my strength, and then some, to carry Matcha into the cave. The cave was very shallow, only a few meters across. But we were out of combat, which was good news because we could use a City Return Scroll to return to the city now.
“Boss…”
Matcha knelt in front of me. Holding my hand with hers, she looked over the wound on it, “This wound doesn’t look like it will heal easily. You need a Healer to cast [Therapy] right?”
I nodded, “No problem, this is a light wound. It won’t affect my stats.”
“Okay, does it hurt?”
“It doesn’t!”
“Hehe…”
“What does your “Hehe” mean….”
“……”
