After taking the full brunt of the kick, Kevin's face instantly darkened to the extreme. He immediately roared like an enraged lion. The sword in his hand suddenly turned from a frosty blue to an orange-red color. White mist rose, and the ice element was expelled, replaced by raging flames!
"Flame Amplification, second Fireball."
Roddy looked at Kevin's slightly raised left hand and immediately activated the Witcher's newly acquired "Sprint" skill. He immediately dodged to the side.
Level 1 "Sprint" increased Roddy's movement speed by 30% for 5 seconds.
At the same time, the "Advantage" effect from Kevin's "Talent" ended its 1-minute cooldown. 0. The fireball, which had a 5-second casting time, was once again released. However, he did not expect that the fireball, which was supposed to hit its target, would once again miss due to Rody activating his' Sprint 'spell.
Why!?
Kevin roared in his heart. He could no longer keep his cool. He changed his previously conservative stance and suddenly made a sweeping horizontal slash!
His footsteps followed Roddy's movement at the same time, and he increased the effect of "Flame Amplification" to the maximum …
"Flame Amplification" not only increased Kevin's weapon's fire damage by 15%, but more importantly, it allowed the Fire Element to condense into an "Elemental Blade" at the tip of the sword, invisibly increasing the attack range of the longsword. Therefore, under such an attack, Roddy had no room to dodge and could only choose to take it head-on.
To Kevin's surprise, facing the incoming blade, Roddy unexpectedly gave up using his curved sword to block, and instead raised his left hand …
Is this guy crazy?
The corner of Kevin's mouth curled up, and he almost laughed in his heart. It was as if he could already see the scene of Roddy being cut in half.
But just as the burning sword edge was about to touch Roddy's palm, a little orange light suddenly bloomed in front of him. This phenomenon stunned Kevin instantly. He swore that this was definitely the most ridiculous and terrifying scene he had ever seen in his life!
With Roddy's palm as the center, an octagonal elemental shield with a diameter of more than a meter suddenly appeared in the air. The elemental energy gathered in it was pure and solid, and the light it emitted was not orange, but bright yellow. The shield had almost no thickness, but with a loud bang, it firmly blocked Kevin's longsword!
The huge recoil made Kevin stagger a step, but because of the elemental spell, he forgot the sharp pain of his hand splitting open …
"This is impossible!"
His eyes almost popped out, and he involuntarily exclaimed. Because from the beginning to the end, he never thought that Roddy could actually use a spell, because there was no elemental fluctuation on his body at all!
The most intolerable thing to a prideful person was to see others defeat them in their area of expertise. When Kevin saw the shield, the anger in his heart disappeared as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. Instead, it was replaced by a shudder.
His mind was completely blank at this moment, and there was only one thought in his mind: All this should be just a nightmare …
The reason why he was so shocked was very simple: "Magic Swordsman" was also a spellcaster with a "Mana Pool", so he had a very keen sense of "elements" that ordinary people could not match … In other words, if Roddy was a person with a "Mana Pool", he would have noticed it the moment Roddy rushed over.
But the reality in front of him was … after Roddy cast this "Snake Flame Shield" that was condensed from elements, Kevin finally felt traces of "elements" in his opponent's body!
Although this was the truth, but … how was this possible?
No matter how talented a magic apprentice was, it was impossible to release a Level-7 "Snake Flame Shield" the moment the "Mana Pool" was activated!
No matter how shocked and frightened he was, the shield in front of him was solid. Kevin counterattacked several times in a row, but was firmly blocked by it. Using this high-level shield, Roddy directly met Kevin, swung his scimitar and began to slash fiercely!
It was impossible to predict the outcome of a battle purely based on the data on the interface. Just like how no one expected Roddy to suppress Kevin after a series of escapes, the difference in 'combat experience' was enough to determine the outcome of a battle to a large extent.
Why didn't Roddy use a bow and arrow?
Because he knew that it was difficult for an attack of his level to hurt his opponent.
Why did Roddy throw away a scimitar?
Because he knew that his physical attack could not break through the defense at all.
Why did Roddy run away?
This was not fear, but a pure tactic. After a round of 'escape', Kevin had 'handed over' almost all the short-time casting skills he could use!
When Kevin threw out almost all of his trump cards, Roddy really revealed a corner of his own. From this situation, Roddy actually did not suffer any losses from beginning to end.
At this time, with the powerful defense of the "Snake Flame Shield", Roddy continuously swung his scimitar at Kevin's sword. Without the blessing of "Wild Heart" and the loss of a scimitar, Roddy's attack at this time could not pose a threat to Kevin, who was skilled in swordsmanship. But Roddy's attack had another purpose …
Every time the scimitar and the long sword collided, there would be a burst of dazzling sparks … This was not the reaction of Kevin's "Flame Buff" after being attacked, but another skill released by Roddy with the help of Sakya: "Flame Corrosion"!
Level 6 [Flame Corrosion]: Every time an attack hits, the enemy will be corroded by the fire element. For the next 15 seconds, the damage of fire magic attacks will increase by 6%. Can be stacked 10 times. Lasts for 15 seconds. No cooldown time.
Most ordinary "debuffs" (continuous debuffs) could be cast from a distance, but "Flame Corrosion" could only be cast after close combat, so its effect was extremely powerful.
Kevin did not know the use of such a skill. The only thing he noticed was that the fire element around him seemed to have become more intense than usual. However, at this time, the only trump card he had was the ice skill "Frost Nova." But he was very clear that with the "Snake Flame Shield", a high-grade flame shield, the slowing effect of "Frost Nova" would definitely be offset.
Extremely anxious, he became more and more aware that his situation was not good. His attacks also became frantic and fierce. After more than ten rounds of attacks, Roddy could not hurt Kevin at all, but the "Snake Flame Shield" finally cracked.
But facing this scene, Roddy still had the same indifferent expression. He withdrew his scimitar, and when Kevin slashed the "Snake Flame Shield" for the twelfth time, he directly somersaulted backward …
While his body was still in the air, the shield broke with a crash.
When his feet landed on the ground, Roddy was already two meters away from Kevin. At the same time, he activated "Snake Leap" again and suddenly jumped eight meters backward!
All these movements were extremely coherent, there was no pause at all. And just when his body was still in the air, Kevin just happened to grit his teeth and release a Level 4 "Frost Nova" — white frost aura instantly exploded, with Kevin as the center, spreading in all directions, freezing everything within a ten meter radius into white crystal ice sculptures.
But Roddy just happened to land at the edge of this circular area of white frost, and his leather boots only had some ice shards on them.
Once could be luck, twice could be coincidence, but from beginning to end, with so many skills not working, Kevin understood what this meant no matter how stupid he was …
A fear that he had not felt for many years spread from his spine, as if that "Frost Nova" had frozen his blood. Holding the burning longsword in his hand, he actually felt his body become stiff.
Roddy glanced at the "Status Bar". "Soul Link" showed that there were still 32 seconds left.
"Snake Leap" was on cooldown, but "Prancing" and "Sprint" were off cooldown once again. The mobility of a "Witcher" was undoubtedly highlighted by these three skills. Roddy looked at Kevin, whose eyes were already a little glazed. He first activated "Sprint" and rushed two steps forward, using the acceleration to jump up. The triggered "Prancing" was amplified due to the speed bonus, allowing Roddy to rush back in front of Kevin in the blink of an eye —
This time, Roddy did not swing his sword to attack. Instead, he stretched out his left palm and pointed at Kevin, who had raised his sword in defense.
The fifth skill belonging to Snake King Sakya, "Flame Impact", was completed in an instant, and then directly bloomed in front of Roddy's palm!
Level 6 "Flame Impact": Fire magic. Deals 128-1560 damage to the enemy at a distance of 0-20 meters (Spell Strength and Intelligence bonus). Damage decreases with distance. No casting time. Cooldown: 30 seconds.
It was also a fire magic, but Kevin did not expect Roddy's skill to be so terrifying. Although the effect was similar to the "Explosive Impact" he had previously cast, "No casting time" and "2 seconds casting time" were worlds apart!
Snake King Sakya was, after all, a Level-45 magical beast. Due to the existence of the "Magic crystal" and the difference in fighting style, the difference between it and a human Magician was that its skill damage was low, but it was basically all "instantaneous."
Kevin was caught off guard. His longsword was still two meters away from Rody, but the sudden explosion of air waves had already caused him to fall into complete despair.
"Boom!"
In his haste, Kevin only had time to protect his vitals with his arms before he was blasted away by the impact.
The stacked effect of "Flame Corrosion" from before was undoubtedly evident at this moment. The elements that had gathered around Kevin's body exploded and burned a second time under the impact, sending Kevin flying seven meters through the air like a burning meteor, breaking a fir tree with a "bang" before falling to the ground …
After a series of preparations such as luring the enemy, tricking skills, stacking debuffs, and so on, Roddy's only real attack appeared in a flash, and at the same time ended in an instant.
However, he knew that this attack would not be able to completely kill his opponent. Thus, when Kevin was still in mid-air, Roddy had already chased after him with the effect of "Sprint," clearly prepared to "finish him off." However, he did not expect that just as he scanned the surroundings, an unexpected figure would suddenly appear in his field of vision …
