MMORPG: The Elementalist

The Aeromancer who was dispatched to hinder Qin Ruo had abilities that were inferior to Qin Ruo’s from the start. Plus, the Shadowfox and equipment gave him quite some pressure. He was knocked out of the sky just as he turned around to face his enemy. At that moment, he could not help but feel unsettled in his heart.

“Oh shit!”

The seven people chasing after Qin Ruo were all advanced Tier 5 “rookies”. Even if their abilities were at the level of Field Commanders and their battle experiences were abundant, not many had experienced a real fight to the death between Tier 5’s…

For this battle aspect, they could be considered quite inexperienced!

Fighting against Qin Ruo who has been constantly fighting with Tier 5 enemies when he was only Tier 4 and had been using Tier 5 AoE Assault magic to fight—this sort of battle proved too much for their battling experience.

After the direct magic attack threw the Aeromancer off guard, Qin Ruo took huge steps without pausing and rapidly rushed within thirty meters from the Aeromancer. The Water Dragon’s Staff in his hand released an angry roar from a water dragon…

Roar!!!

“Tidal Roar!”

Amidst the loud roar of the dragon, a water dragon about one meter thick sprung out and attacked!

It was a single direction assault magic. Although its attack power was quite good, using it in a duel seemed quite out of place… The overall damage to the enemy was not high and using it while in a duel among Champions would be a big failure.

However…

Qin Ruo’s ideas were of course, not that simple.

In a one to one fight, once an Elementalist loses their Elemental Perception, it would be equivalent to losing an eye…

As the water dragon screeched and emerged, a golden streak followed it. It bit the lower section of the Tidal Roar and coincidentally rushed out from the blind spot of the Aeromancer’s field of vision.

“Watch out for his Pet!”

This move was concealed from the Aeromancer, but it could not be hidden from the seven pairs of eyes chasing after him. One by one, they loudly and hastily warned, “Flake! Look out!”

As their voices rang in Qin Ruo’s ears, Qin Ruo’s Perception also clearly picked up that the Aeromancer somehow had a moment of panic as he took out a Magic Scroll. Qin Ruo grinned in his heart.

“So, you’re called Flake…

“I will miss you.”

Whoosh!!

While the Aeromancer gave a confused look at the seven people behind, Poochie’s golden silhouette suddenly leaped absurdly high. It used the air’s momentum, flashed like lightning, and somehow targeted Aeromancer Flake at the same time as the Tidal Roar!

Shieldbreaker!

As Qin Ruo quickly condensed the third Frostrampart in the air to support Poochie to make its last strike, the Aeromancer Flake’s silhouette suddenly was absorbed by a light into the unrolled Magic Scroll.

The was a slight distortion of space.

Flake’s silhouette instantly left Qin Ruo’s Perception zone…

‘Teleportation? Crap…’

At that second, Qin Ruo suddenly felt a little jealous. This Aeromancer was very lucky. Not only did he possess Wind-elemental Flight and Floating skills, but he also had Aeromorph which would increase his Movement Speed, Defense magic, and Magic Attack. A guy like this even managed to obtain a Champion-level teleport skill?

Something was not right.

A task like this was already uncommon…’Just now, that guy used a Magic Scroll… Could it be…’

A crazy thought flashed through Qin Ruo’s mind briefly, then was quickly dismissed as his sights landed on Flake who appeared over fifty meters away.

“Pathetic.”

Qin Ruo sneered coldly. In a one-to-one battle, the teleport Magic Scroll was used to run for his life…If it were used to attack him, it was possible that his composure would have been slightly shaken. If the timing was grasped properly, it would have placed him in danger. Such a waste…

What a pitiful, miserable fella.

“Hmph, let me show you the real beauty of Blink!”

***

A short moment of crossing fires had already caused the Aeromancer’s entire body to drip with sweat. He finally deeply understood the gap between this guy in front of him. From the start, the opposite party had already completely grasped his own battle patterns. Firstly, he dispelled his Flight and Elemental Perception then used a skill that was not very advantageous to cover up the real killing intent. With that fearsome little gold monster, he used a blind spot to send it up to the air then continuously used Aquamancer skills and Shieldbreaker to get closer…

Within a blink of an eye, he had completed a series of manipulated attacks.

Yet, he was busy controlling his own falling body. If it were not for his companions’ warnings, he might have followed his previous two comrades’ footsteps if he had released a single spell…

Damn it!

As soon as he landed on the ground, Flake felt that his back and forehead were full of cold sweat from nervous palpitations!

The funniest part was he actually thought that he had the capability of delaying the Winter Demon for more than three seconds… Great. The precious “Wind Drift” teleport scroll had been used but had only barely saved his life. The distance between Qin Ruo and the people behind him did not change and there was not the slightest improvement.

Without Defense Magic, he suddenly felt doubtful. If they continue fighting with Qin Ruo, would the remaining eight people be finished off by Qin Ruo?

With that short moment of hesitation, piercing warning cries emerged from the party channel once again!

“Watch out!”

“Shit! Run away quickly!”

He could not stop him. Flake’s mind quivered as he looked upward. He felt innumerable, white arrowheads sending chills all over his body as they deeply stabbed him…

Red blood spurted out like blooming flowers which rapidly dyed the Frost Arrows on Flake’s body.

After the system notification rang, what followed was pitch black in front of Flake.

You have been killed by an Angel Faction player! Lost 1 Honor Point!

…

Shocking!

Absolutely shocking!

After the notification of Flake’s death was sent, the few Tier 5 Champions who were chasing behind Qin Ruo unconsciously slowed down. They locked their sights on the Winter Demon’s silhouette nearby Flake’s corpse, who halted his steps for a moment then rapidly flew far away. While he was running, they could not hide their expressions that were full of disbelief and trembled.

Teleport!

Qin Ruo actually knew teleportation!

Moreover, he was more proficient at it compared to Flake. Flake had just used teleport to get away from Qin Ruo’s attack range, yet Qin Ruo shapeshifted like a shadow by ghostly stretching their distance from fifty meters to eighty meters, then appeared within twenty meters of Flake.

As if he had reenacted that scene over a thousand times, he unrolled a Frost Arrow Magic Scroll…

Instant kill!

The world was cleansed. The remaining seven Twelve Zodiacs Tier 5 Champions’ ferocious and agitated killing intention toward Qin Ruo disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, they finally realized it.

Qin Ruo was completely fooling them… With a skill like Teleport at hand, he could have fled over hundreds of meters anytime if he wanted to and then spread his wings to leave. Yet, he had chosen to play a game of tag with them. Perhaps this had validated something that they did not want to admit from the bottom of their hearts: Qin Ruo… wanted to kill all of them one by one.

“…”

Slowly, without realizing who was taking the lead, all seven of them had stopped their pursuit. Standing in the open Mythical Battlefield, they watched that silhouette swiftly break away from their field by a hundred meters. Every one of them had their expressions blanked and lost their spirit.

…

Actually, Qin Ruo had already noticed the remaining seven Twelve Zodiacs Tier 5 Champions’ reactions. He gave a look toward the few players who had Demonic Wings that were flying over from Sin City and laughed coldly. “No wonder Tier 5 pros and ordinary Tier 5 members had to be divided by classes…”

Qin Ruo scoffed and then bent both knees…

Whoosh!

Qin Ruo rose to the air as his Angelic Wings flew him away from that land which belonged to the Demon Faction.

A few players who possessed Demonic Wings all remained afar as they watched a pair of Angelic Wings casually soar to the sky and did not approach them.

When Qin Ruo’s silhouette became a clump of white foam and disappeared from the air, every one of them paused for a moment in the air then headed back to Sin City at the same time.

What remained were seven of the Champions from Twelve Zodiacs and a group of Demon Faction players who were feeling dumbfounded.

***

Qin Ruo did not realize that after he returned to the Angel Faction under the eyes of a huge audience, the Demon Faction players at the battle scene who were following the battle all went offline to upload the clip of that battle.

This post was called the “Winter Demon’s Wrath”!

The owner of that post had somehow comprehended it. Due to Twelve Zodiacs League’s Tiger Cub’s unexpected appearance that destroyed Moonrise City, the Winter Demon bestowed his wrath as revenge for that act.

In the midst of the noise about Moonrise City’s invasion, the official forum exploded once again! This post naturally and eventually became a hot topic and many people gave their opinions and perceptions in the post…

A number of players and clans who had lost their Honor Points were cursing Tiger Cub in the official forum that he deserved to die, and that Tiger Cub was a coward for hiding within the city wall and not taking part in the fight. Some even cheered on the Winter Demon to overturn the entire Twelve Zodiacs. The Demon Faction players were criticizing Qin Ruo’s arrogant behavior, but they were even more bitter about the uselessness of Twelve Zodiacs and that the other leagues had no morals, letting someone from Angel Faction massacre the people within someone else’s territory. Moonrise City was suddenly invaded, and the Winter Demon’s following actions were like a tight, loud slap that shaved away more than half a chunk of their excitement and passion. This had amplified the harshness of the comments from those who had looked down on the Demon Faction’s methods of victory.

Of course, the earth does not revolve around a few individuals. After the uproar, this content started to spread as more people started to follow up with more posts, calling clan members and teammates whom they have lost contact with…

Qin Ruo was unaware that he already became the highlight on the official forum. After returning to the city, the mood became heavy as if shrouded by dark clouds.

Wherever he went, players were all discussing forming a combat team and the situation at the Mythical Battlefield…

After the siege, everyone’s faces carried heavy expressions. Quite a number of players saw Qin Ruo appearing at the warp portal and took the initiative to approach him. They expressed that if he formed a combat team, they hoped to be a part of it.

These faces were unknown to Qin Ruo, but each one of them carried a hopeful and anticipated look on their faces.

“I have a friend who has formed a combat team. Within these two days, he might establish a clan. His name is Dinosaurcerer… You can try and contact him.”

On regular occasions, Qin Ruo would not be bothered with these strangers’ words. But at this moment and time, how could he bear to reject them directly?

“Dinosaurcerer? It’s that Summoner who brought over a swarm of spiders!”

“Yep.”

Qin Ruo touched his nose—he did not expect Dinosaurcerer to be so famous right now.

“But he’s only Tier 4… I’ve already reached Tier 5.”

The bunch looked like they were placed at a difficult spot. Qin Ruo realized at this moment, there were still a few people here that were of Tier 5. Moreover, these people seemed like they were from the same batch led by a Tier 5player. Qin Ruo could not help but be shocked and surprised at this discovery. He briefly took back his cold and aloof answer, and then became serious.

To date, the Angel Faction did not even have up to three hundred Tier 5 players.

Furthermore, each one of them was their clan’s prized players that had the strength comparable to a Field Commander. If they could convince them to join Dinosaurcerer’s team, the biggest dilemma where the combat team could only be led by Dinosaurcerer and Brother Da would greatly be improved!
