Mages Are Too OP

Chapter 562 One Better Move

The stream channel was already a mess. The players weren’t really surprised that Roland cut the enemy with a miaodao. After all, Magic Swordsmen were more popular among the players as a class than the Spell Breakers were.

Therefore, they were no strangers to people who wielded their weapons while casting spells.

What shocked them was Roland’s crazy melee combat abilities.

Most players had played the game for a couple of years.

They could tell from other people’s attack movements whether they were slashing randomly or they were real martial artists.

From what they had seen, not only was Roland a martial artist, but he was also a fairly skilled one.

His turnaround and full-moon slash were performed with perfect timing.

It wasn’t something that any player of the melee classes could’ve done.

A Mage who was the strongest remotely, who could beat most players in a melee battle, and who was highly agile and had all kinds of protective spells, was almost invulnerable. Finally, a Spell Breaker was here to deal with Roland, who almost seemed to be cheating.

But as it turned out, Roland even had cheating melee ability. How could they fight this battle?

The Spell Breakers were essentially Warriors, yet this one had been instantly killed. It meant that normal players couldn’t possibly kill him in a one-on-one battle.

Not just the viewers, but Carrot who was standing on Roland’s opposite thought so too. “He instinctively cast buffs right before our man charged.” Carrot shook his head helplessly. “We’ll have to pass this time.”

The stream channel was seething.

“Really? Are you chickening out so easily?”

“Seriously? Keep fighting! I want to watch the drama!”

Similar comments were all over the screen.

Roland also thought that those people were going to admit defeat. After all, a death would mean a huge loss of EXP at this moment.

But outside of his expectation, Carrot continued, “None of us can beat you individually, so we’ll fight you together. What do you think? It won’t be a fair game, but in any case, we’re streaming this battle and we have to take you down.”

“Come!”

Roland drew on the rocky ground with the tip of his miaodao, leaving a streak of sparks.

Carrot said to his other three teammates, “Go with Plan B.”

After he said that, one of the Spell Breakers extended both hands and aimed at Roland. A purple ring of energy surrounded Roland, cutting off his connection to magic power and destroying the buffs on Roland’s body.

The three buffs that Roland cast on himself were instantly broken.

During that moment, Roland evaluated the intensity of the enemy’s magic-breaking and found that it didn’t surpass his limits.

But it didn’t matter. He could just let them break his buffs and mislead them into thinking that he was weak.

The moment Roland’s buffs were nullified, Carrot and the other two Spell Breakers initiated a charge at the same time from three directions.

Carrot was apparently the fastest of the three.

Without the buff from Anticipation, Roland’s reaction clearly slowed down.

However, as a Mage, he had high mental power, and he was good at calculation.

The moment they started charging, Roland took out a dagger that he built earlier from his system Backpack and hid it while he pressed down his saber. When they moved at him, he stepped back and suddenly loosened his left hand that was gripping the miaodao, then he flung the hidden dagger at another charging Spell Breaker. That dagger was thrown out too surprisingly.

The charging Spell Breaker was greatly shocked and subconsciously blocked it with his sword.

After a clink, the dagger was deflected, but his charge was stopped too.

It was one of the fatal moves of the miaodao technique. Such cunning tricks were no taboo in the miaodao technique, which revolved around real battle.

On a battlefield, survival was what mattered most.

While Roland disrupted one of the Warriors’ Charge, Carrot had run to Roland’s face quickly.

Roland didn’t have any time to make a new move, and he seemed defenseless.

Without hesitation, Carrot stabbed his longsword into Roland’s body with the momentum of the Charge and pushed Roland back successfully.

The third Spell Breaker quickly caught up and stabbed his sword into Roland’s right chest, pushing Roland back even faster.

Everybody cheered in the stream channel.

Seeing Roland impaled by two swords, they were genuinely delighted and felt that they had witnessed the fall of a legend. However, things weren’t as simple as they thought.

While he was being pushed back, Roland suddenly grabbed Carrot’s sword with his left hand and cut the miaodao at Carrot with a terrifying grin although he was vomiting blood.

His terrifying grin was truly mind-blowing.

Subconsciously, Carrot abandoned his sword and retreated quickly.

Although he retreated very fast, Roland’s miaodao was long enough to leave a wound on his left shoulder. It wasn’t very deep, but it made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

Carrot didn’t consider the wound a big deal, because the players weren’t afraid of pain. He simply took out another longsword from his system Backpack.

Roland had been stabbed twice in a row. Although his organs weren’t wounded, those two stabs should’ve been enough to kill him, considering the HP of a regular Mage.

However, the Spell Breaker who was still next to Roland suddenly widened his eyes.

Holding a short sword in his left hand, Roland stabbed it right into the man’s heart.

It was a life-for-life attack. The man wasn’t as responsive as Carrot, so he failed to dodge Roland’s attack.

The Spell Breakers weren’t pure Warriors. Naturally, their vitality wasn’t as high as that of pure Warriors.

After being stabbed in the heart, this Spell Breaker vomited a mouthful of blood and slowly fell with a look of utmost confusion on his face.

At this moment, Roland had two swords stabbed into his chest, and his robe had been stained with blood.

Casually, Roland plucked the two swords and dropped them to the ground.

Clang! Clang! More blood flowed out.

Roland was pale, but he didn’t fall.

Comments were flying crazily in the stream channel

Many people found it hard to understand why Roland wasn’t killed by the stab wounds.

In their experience, Roland should’ve died even though his organs weren’t wounded.

That was because a pure Master Mage only had slightly more than 100 points of HP. Considering all the equipment, it couldn’t have been more than 150. The two stabs from Carrot and the other Spell Breaker must’ve caused damage between 160 and 200.

Even a Warrior at full health should’ve been executed.

However, Roland was still alive.

Actually, in Roland’s view, he had more than half of his HP left.

He had about 400 HP at the beginning. After being stabbed twice, he only had 170 left.

Also, his wounds were gradually healing at this moment. The round shield that he wore on his left hand had the effect of healing its wielder.

Looking at his guild member on the ground and then at Roland, Carrot couldn’t help but ask, “How much HP do you have?”

“Why don’t you take a guess?”.

While talking, Roland glanced at the purple magic-breaking energy that surrounded him.

It seemed dimmer than before, but it was still not time yet.

Holding one of the wounds on his body, Roland saw that Carrot seemed to be hesitating, so he asked with a smile, “You’re not attacking anymore? Do you want me to attack you?”

His wounds were still bleeding, but Roland wasn’t affected at all.

The sense of pain had been reduced in the game in the first place. Besides, Roland had a high mental power, which allowed him to endure the pain better than ordinary people could.

Roland extended his finger, and blue flames shot from his hand

The Spell Breaker who was responsible for suppressing Roland’s magic power immediately increased the intensity of the interference.

The blue flames on Roland’s fingertips were instantly gone.

Because of the recoil of mental power, Roland even coughed.

His body trembled because of the cough, and still more black blood flowed out of his wounds.

“It’s useless. You can’t possibly cast spells under the dual interferences.”

After mocking Roland, Carrot didn’t charge but slowly walked to Roland with a sword in his hand.

The other Spell Breaker followed him. Roland retreated slowly. “Aren’t you going to attack us?”

Seeing that Roland was retreating, Carrot couldn’t help but ask. “Because I’m buying myself more time,” said Roland with a smile. “I only need to wait until the Spell Breaker who’s hindering me is exhausted.”

Now that Roland confessed his plan openly, Carrot stopped and dropped a hint at his partner to step back, asking him to join the other Spell Breaker in the suppression.

This Spell Breaker stepped back, sheathed his sword, and opened his hands at Roland. Another stream of mental power surrounded Roland, and the purple energy around him grew thicker.

Taking a deep breath, Carrot took out another sword from his system Backpack.

“I didn’t want to be exposed so fast,” said Carrot helplessly. “Actually, I can use two weapons at the same time.”

Hardly had he finished talking when he charged at Roland, hoping to catch the enemy unprepared.

Actually, he succeeded in doing that. When he reached Roland, Roland was only able to block the attack from his right hand, but he managed to cut Roland’s abdomen with the sword in his left hand even though Roland tried to step back.

Through the wound on his abdomen, it was even possible to see Roland’s internal organs.

A tremendous amount of blood flowed out again.

Then, Carrot launched a storm of attacks.

Without buffs, Roland wasn’t as physically strong as a Spell Breaker. Besides, Roland had been heavily wounded, which made it hard for him to move. With clinking noises, Roland blocked the storm of attacks with his miaodao, but he was bleeding and losing his strength quickly due to the heavy wounds. He was stabbed again half a minute later.

At this moment, Roland was already dying, and he had barely any strength left.

His face was extremely pale. “Die!”

Seeing that Roland was trembling, Carrot was delighted and cut his longsword at Roland’s neck.

A human being would die when they lost their head, however sturdy they were.

Carrot smiled. He could tell that Roland wasn’t capable of deflecting his attacks anymore.

But Roland smiled too. He adjusted his posture and cut his miaodao at Carrot’s neck.

Their movement was the same, but anyone could tell that Carrot’s sword was faster, because he wasn’t wounded.

Roland’s miaodao was much slower by comparison. By logic, Carrot should’ve killed Roland first. However, exactly at this moment, Roland suddenly waved his left hand, and the little round shield blocked Carrot’s longsword from a weird angle.

The movement was so powerful that Carrot’s longsword was flung away and he was knocked off balance, forced to lean back.

What the hell?

Dazed, Carrot looked at the right hand and couldn’t understand what just happened.

In the next second… Roland’s miaodao cut through Carrot’s neck.

His head soared into the sky, followed by a spring of blood.
