MMORPG: The Elementalist

“If Xin Yu could defeat a Tier 6 Megaboss alone… There’s no way I, the League Leader of Fallen Angels, can’t defeat a Tier 5 Overlord Boss…”

After arriving at the beach, Qin Ruo, fighting spirits burning in his heart, looked at the pursuing Jebel Pangolin and its army from above the sky.

Determined to win, Qin Ruo gulped down his Movement Speed Potion, Guardian Potion, Darkfrost Potion, and Giant Tree Saps all in one go. He then spread his wings and dove down to the ocean below at full speed.

When he was about to crash into the water, Qin Ruo pulled up, spreading out his wings and glided over the ocean slowly. Then, he stepped on the ocean. Several spirals were formed as his feet touched the water. Having manipulated the water element, his body was now firmly supported by the ocean’s water.

Again, he was facing off the Jebel Pangolin much like the first time they clashed…

Qin Ruo was fifty meters away from the shore.

The Pangolin Army lined up in unison on the beach, forming an impenetrable fortress around the Jebel Pangolin! This time, their defense seemed to be even sturdier than the last. They were waiting for Qin Ruo to approach them, and if he did, they would immediately charge at him mercilessly with full force! However…

The last time they clashed, Qin Ruo was merely testing the waters. He wanted to gauge just how strong the Pangolin Army’s attacks were and wasn’t trying to defeat them at all. That was also why he allowed them to kill him.

This time though… it would be a different story!

***

Roar!!!

Black radiant light started to blur around the Blackscale Pangolins again when they saw Qin Ruo slowly approach them. They let out a deafening roar, one that swirled up large tidal waves from the beach, and charged at him!

Even though he had experienced this before, Qin Ruo was still shaken by their raging temperament. Yet, he was able to quickly pull himself together and locked onto the Blackscale Pangolins with his Elemental Perception, and waited for them to charge at him…

And as they reached the thirty meter area around him…

Aquamorph!

Without warning, Qin Ruo swiftly retracted his Angelic Wings and activated his Aquamorph. With the buff provided by the Movement Speed Potion and Guardian Potion, he could morph himself into the ocean’s water instantaneously. In mere seconds, Qin Ruo was able to dodge the Blackscale Pangolins’ attacks.

As they lost sight of their target, confusion struck hundreds of Blackscale Pangolins as their formation became disorganized… even though they maintained alertness and tried to search for Qin Ruo at the area where he vanished, Qin Ruo’s scent had completely disappeared without a trace in the waters.

Detecting an Aquamorphed human who had merged with the ocean was quite different from detecting an Aquamorphed winged-human who was flying in the sky.

No matter how sensitive their noses were, the pangolins could never detect Qin Ruo’s movement and whereabouts in the waters.

Besides…

He was able to manipulate the water around him after activating the Mid-tier Aquamorph… it was a lot like a sea serpent finding its way into the ocean!

After realizing that they had completely lost sight of Qin Ruo, the Blackscale Pangolins had now stopped fidgeting around and stood completely still on the solidified ocean surface, refusing to head back to the shore.

Seeing this from the waters, Qin Ruo felt a fling of regret. If these Blackscale Pangolins immediately tried to retreat back to the shore, he could have destroyed the Jebel Pangolin’s first line of defense in a rather short time.

Nonetheless, the current situation still tipped to his favor…

The Blackscale Pangolins not only had their attacks dissolved, even the black radiating Aura Drill around their bodies had also vanished. Helga was right… this seemingly overpowered defensive skill indeed had a glaring weakness.

Although this skill was suitable to break through the battlefields, it wasn’t ideal in taking on a highly mobile target!

Letting out a smirk, Qin Ruo swiftly swam back to the Blackscale Pangolins’ attack range…

Suddenly!

Roaarrrr!!!!!

Jebel Pangolin, still standing on the beach, let out a deafening thundering roar!

“What a busybody cunt!”

Qin Ruo couldn’t help but to frown in dismay. It was clear that the Boss had detected him and was trying to warn its Blackscale Pangolins…

Without wasting time…

“Freeze!!”

***

As the Blackscale Pangolins were preparing to unleash their attacks again after receiving orders from the Jebel Pangolin, suddenly the temperature in the area turned freezing cold! This was a result of the ocean waters turning into freezing ice!

A whopping fifty-meter radius of the ocean were frozen solid in an instant, resulting in over thirty frozen solid Blackscale Pangolins. In mere seconds, a powerful freezing breath had struck them from below, from the ocean, and penetrated through their thick black scales, turning them into ice sculptures!

As for Qin Ruo, because he was casting Magic Attacks, he temporarily disengaged from his Aquamorph and re-emerged on the ice.

Zing! Ziing!

Without wasting time, Qin Ruo quickly acted! Several Frostramparts emerged around the Blackscale Pangolins! In a blink of an eye, seven Frostramparts had now appeared on the surface of the ocean.

In the meantime, the other Blackscale Pangolins furiously charged at the frozen area from two sides, intending to tear Qin Ruo to millions of pieces!

Yet, Qin Ruo didn’t pay any attention to them…

Having frozen these thirty Blackscale Pangolins inside this thirty meter wide igloo, he was now able to deter all the immediate threats around him. It didn’t matter if there were more Blackscale Pangolins charging towards them from the outside. They couldn’t do anything to stop what he was about to do next anyway.

“Burst!”

Suddenly, a powerful quake shook the ocean wildly!

It felt as though someone had tossed a hydro-bomb onto the ocean!

The previously frozen area suddenly exploded from within, bursting all the Frostramparts around it and shooting out countless ice spikes from the frozen ocean surface!

Everything, including the thirty frozen Blackscale Pangolins were engulfed in this massive explosion!

In the meantime, all the oncoming Blackscale Pangolins were also affected by the explosion!

Powerful tsunamis raged as the explosion burst out in the ocean as snow and hail rained down from the sky for over twenty seconds! Then, the ocean finally calmed down a little…

During the explosion, the battle didn’t stop in the waters.

***

“Fatal Frost Crystals!”

As the raging snow and tidal waves were disrupting the Blackscale Pangolins, three Fatal Frost Crystals were flung out from Qin Ruo’s hands!

The pangolins that survived the dozens of Frost Bursts earlier were all instantly slain by the crystals; the corpses of the Blackscale Pangolins washed away by the raging tidal waves.

This infuriated the Jebel Pangolin!

The Boss, who was watching the battle on the shore, didn’t think that it would lose thirty underlings in just a blink of an eye. Overwhelmed by anger, it stepped onto the raging ocean tides, shredding through the falling snow and hail and rushing into the oncoming tsunami… these might have fooled the Tier 6 monsters but it couldn’t fool its eyes.

Qin Ruo was shocked.

He quickly dove into the water and swam away from the shore sixty meters away from the land. As the Jebel Pangolin saw waters gradually flood over its stomach and chest, it had no other choice but to stop and leer at the ocean waters.

It was as Qin Ruo expected… it could only go as far as this…

Beaming a smirk on his face, Qin Ruo quickly gulped down a bottle of Mana Potion, stretched out his wings and zoomed towards the Jebel Pangolin.

Now, Jebel Pangolin had no more underlings defending it…

The Blackscale and Deathscale Pangolins could not reach the area where Jebel Pangolin stood at the moment. The water level was at least seven to eight meters in depth. If they were to come forward, Qin Ruo could kill them off by drowning them instantly.

Without the threat from the Blackscale and Deathscale Pangolins, Qin Ruo was able to fight the Jebel Pangolin one-on-one. This was precisely what Qin Ruo wanted.

As he inched closer to the Jebel Pangolin, Qin Ruo swiftly waved his “Frost Witch’s Rage”!

Whoosh!! Swoosh swoosh swoosh…

Several dozens of Aqua Arrows sliced through the ocean waters and, in an instant, morphed into Frost Arrows when they were exposed to the air!

Several dozen Tier 2 Frost Arrows…

If it was other ordinary Aquamancers that were casting this, the large amount of the arrows and their attacks were enough to scare any opponent shitless. No one could escape these Tier 2 Magic Attacks. Anyone who dared to stand before them would soon be penetrated by these chains of arrows; their barriers shredded in no time.

And now, these were all cast by Qin Ruo.

The force of these Frost Arrows was indefinitely more horrifying!

After having his staff enchanted, Qin Ruo was able to raise his magic damage to an obscene level where a single Tier 2 Frost Arrow would cause around 500 points of damage… and that was before considering the buffs!

After using a Darkfrost Potion and a Special Roasted Snail, these Frost Arrows were now much stronger in terms of their Magic Attacks and Freezing Damage…

By manipulating the ocean waters, Qin Ruo was able to give Jebel Pangolin hell with just one move!
