Chapter 203 The First Demonstration of Compressed Frost Bullet’s Prowess
Translator: ASB | Editor: ASB /EndlessFantasy Translation
Before they reached Silentdeath Jungle, Mu had been guessing what skills the Tier 4 Aquamancer who was together with Slayer’s Heart had—did he have the rumored Blink skill, or was it an equipment’s special skill like “Aeromorph”, “Blink”, etc…
He had no idea that his first encounter with the Tier 4 Aquamancer would turn out like this.
An Earth Elemental Perception cast on a whim had actually allowed him to detect water elements in humanoid form hiding behind a large tree just thirty meters away from them. His detailed information was then relayed instantly to him.
‘Angel Faction Player, Level 40 Aquamancer.’
Qin Ruo!
Once he discovered his location, Mu was greatly surprised! Stealth! This Tier 4 Aquamancer unexpectedly had the skill Aquamorph, which even had a stealth effect.
If it were not for his Elemental Perception: Earth, even if they had walked past him, they would not have noticed anything…
Good grief!
Mu could not help but be shaken. Realizing that they were almost ambushed successfully, he could not help but shiver at the thought. He immediately expanded the range of Elemental Perception: Earth to the location of his other companions.
However he did not expect that the moment he detected his presence, Qin Ruo was shocked and immediately turn tail.
Mu was stunned for a moment, then realized since the enemy had the ability to Aquamorph, it would not be a surprise that he also possessed an Elemental Perception skill. The moment he cast Elemental Perception: Earth must have been noticed, which meant that the enemy had realized that he had been discovered.
Knowing that, Mu realized that this was a great opportunity to catch him…
Without further consideration, he immediately shouted, “… Chase!!”
The four guys beside him did not expect they would encounter the enemy so fast after the majority of their party had left Silentdeath Jungle. After pausing for a split second, they moved—dashing toward the location pointed out by Mu.
At the same time when the target was discovered, Mu instantly contacted the other two parties—Saga and Camus’s party, informing them their location coordinate and the direction the enemy was heading towards by requesting for immediate backup. After all the Tier 4 Aquamancer had nine other companions, not to mention Slayer’s Heart was not someone they were able to deal with.
However since it was not easy for them to track them, giving up on chasing them was not an option. He could only chase after the Tier 4 Aquamancer and detain him till the other two parties arrived!
“Bowmaster! Keep a lookout for Bandits!”
“The rest of you prepare your Magic Scrolls! Follow my lead and prepare your AoE attacks!”
“Berserker, make sure nobody can get near us!”
As they were chasing, Mu could not continuously cast Elemental Perception: Earth, but he could not order the Berserker and Bowmaster which had faster movement speed to chase ahead alone. Thus he could only pursue with their current speed.
Coincidentally Qin Ruo was unaware Mu’s detection skill had to be canceled. Within such a short time he was unable to make precise judgments. Thus he could only prepare for the worst possible outcome—activating his Frostbarrier instantly, after deactivating Aquamorph.
With this decision, Qin Ruo was unable to avoid being seen by the five players behind him.
Mu was thrilled.
Since a lot of their clan members had a fair share of the cunningness of Qin Ruo and Slayer’s Heart party, due to being afraid of their traps, Mu did not order their only melee fighter and Bowmaster to engage. After all the enemy had already activated his Barrier. Under such circumstances, it was evident that the Berserker and Bowmaster was no match for the enemy.
Just as Mu resisted the urge to take out the Tier 4 Aquamancer who was alone, Qin Ruo who was running ahead of them had been fully prepared—a Frost Bullet emanating a thick frost emerge from his palms.
Compressed Frost Bullet!
With Tier 4 Greater Shield for defense, Qin Ruo felt more confident— with the help of the Darkfrost Shield, withstanding three to four Tier 4 spells should not be a problem. Furthermore, the damage that could have been dealt upon him would be limited.
The most praiseworthy part was that when he decided to lead the enemy to that location Slayer’s Heart had prepared for ambushed, he had used a 9-point quality Intelligence Potion and an 8-point quality Darkfrost Potion.
Intelligence increased by 18 Points, Water Affinity increased by 8%, Water Elemental Effect increased by 16%. His Magic Attack had been increased significantly, with just the Compressed Frost Bullet would be more than sufficient to incapacitate the Bowmaster and Berserker temporarily.
***
Qin Ruo swiftly turned around to face the five-man party chasing him with a Compressed Frost Bullet in his hand.
His unusual actions immediately let Mu and his party to be shocked and thrilled!
Shocked because the enemy had decided to stop running to face them, thrilled because his companions were currently nowhere to be seen… Even if they came out right now, what could they possibly accomplish?
“You are doomed!”
Mu smiled as an Earthrampart was able to be cast before he reached thirty meters before them, suddenly emerging from the ground before him!
Earthrampart!
Not only that, the three Elementalist from the enemy party was restless as they used several Magic Scrolls over the Earthrampart toward him.
“Meteor Shower!”
“AoE Spikeweed!”
“Thunder’s Wrath!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Within the thunderous roar of explosions, Spikeweed and Meteor Shower rained down from both sides…
Mu’s battle plan was executed with success—with a Tier 2 Earthrampart successfully blocking Qin Ruo’s magic attacks, the three of them were able to cast a barrage of spells which successfully landed on their target.
Sadly, all three spells were unable to deal much damage to Qim Ruo.
Even though Qin Ruo was in a dire situation and he could not believe he would be made a fool of by such a tactic, he bypassed the damn Spikeweed and Earthrampart. Aiming at the Bowmaster’s arrow, the raging Compressed Frost Bullet was launched swiftly…
‘Frost Bullet?
‘Has this guy gone mad?’
Mu who was quick to take out his second Magic Scroll and the other Elementalists could not help but twitch their faces slightly. This is the main culprit who annihilated seventy-six of our clan members? The Tier 4 Aquamancer with mysterious abilities?
‘Is this a joke?’
‘Did he really counterattack with a single-target spell? Saga and his team were done in by such a fool?’ The three Elementalists thought that it was unbelievable.
At the next second however…
When they noticed that the Frost Bullet was not aiming at them but toward the Bowmaster, the three of them began to get worried.
‘Although this guy has few screws loose in his head, his battle instincts are not bad—as long their Bowmaster is taken out, the enemy’s Bandit would be able to come on to the battlefield.’
Next, the Bowmaster and Berserker who were defenseless without Barriers could clearly sense the unusualness of the Frost Bullet launched toward them! That Frost Bullet which was larger than a common Frost Bullet carried a coldness which dropped below ten degrees Celcius!
Just by flying toward the Bowmaster and Berserker who had not taken any defensive measures made them feel like they had plunged in an ice cave.
‘So cold!’
The surrounding air seemed to have frozen instantly! When both of them realized how bad the situation they were in was, their bodies stopped responding and they were momentarily frozen.
Boom!
A 160 Magic Attack, after being boosted by the equipment and potion’s effect already reached a staggering 210 points! The moment the Bowmaster whose body was frozen was hit by the Compressed Frost Bullet, a shriek was heard as he instantly fell backward like a frozen statue.
As he was falling back, a white light arose from the Bowmaster’s body.
While the rest of the four Twelve Zodiacs members was startled and unable to react in time, the slightly larger than average Frost Bullet suddenly exploded! An unusual loud sound was heard, it was as if a bag filled with glass shards exploded from within as multiple sharp screeches were heard and a cold mist was dispersed in every direction!!
The three Elementalists and Berserker was simultaneously affected by it…
“Argh!!!”
A loud scream sounded. Fully equipped with Gold Equipment, a Berserker who mainly focused on increasing his Magic Defense and Vitality Attribute, had actually lost 750 HP from the explosion of the Compressed Frost Bullet!!!
The Berserker was shocked!!!
He was a freaking Steel Berserker. His Magic Defense would reach 110 points when he entered Berserk mode!!! How was it possible that this Tier 4 Aquamancer who did not even have a full set of Gold Equipment possess Magic Attack reaching 240 points?!
He was unaware that when Qin Ruo’s attack had hit the Bowmaster, the additional magic effect had already affected him, unknowingly reducing his defense. Within this 750 damage was also caused by the laceration effect. If it was not because Qin Ruo was worried that he would use Charge to dodge the Compressed Frost Bullet and chose him as the main target, he would have been instantly taken out by the Bowmaster….
But the current situation was still not bad!
Because of Darkfrost Potion, the freezing effect of Qin Ruo’s skill had improved drastically. The system notification on the Berserker’s current status was displayed: The target has been Frozen, 7 seconds duration! Laceration effect was achieved. 50 damage per second for 15 seconds…
In other words, even if this guy had not been taken out, he was rendered inactive in the following battle!
