Gu Fei didn't say anything else. It wasn't that he was interested in Upstream's staff, but if the stakes were higher, this person would be more serious in the fight. That was the only way it would be meaningful! Gu Fei waved his sword and said, "Don't go easy on me. It's okay if you die, I'll keep my promise." Gu Fei knew that going easy on him would greatly affect his strength.
Upstream smiled and said, "Come on!"
There weren't many informants in the morning, and the streets were deserted. Upstream's companions retreated to the side, waiting for the two to make their move.
Gu Fei took a deep breath, his expression serious.
Upstream was ranked ninth on the Sorcerer Leaderboard, which meant that he was one of the top Sorcerers in the parallel world. Gu Fei didn't dare to underestimate these experts in the game. In many aspects, Gu Fei couldn't compare to them. The staff in Upstream's hand was very eye-catching, and it was obviously a high quality item. This person's magic damage was probably at the level of being able to kill instantly.
"Fireball, shoot!" Gu Fei was the first to attack. He cast a Fireball and chased after it.
"Fireball, shoot!" Upstream also cast a Fireball, then slammed the staff in his hand on the ground, "Frozen Ice Path, go!!"
The ground made a "pop" sound, followed by endless footsteps that sounded like people walking on snow. A layer of ice about a meter wide condensed on the ground, spreading towards Gu Fei's feet.
Gu Fei had never seen such a strange scene before, and he couldn't help but be startled, but he quickly took two steps to the side. The path paved with crushed ice covered the spot where Gu Fei had just landed, sparkling and translucent as the morning sun shone upon it.
"What is this?" Gu Fei asked curiously as he casually flicked away the Fireball in front of him.
"Hehe, a skill learned from a scroll. Fireball, shoot! "Upstream replied as he completed another chant. A fireball ignited between his fingers, just in time to block Gu Fei's shot. The two Fireballs collided, and both shattered into a cloud of sparks.
"Not bad!" Gu Fei exclaimed. The technique and eyesight required to steadily summon a fireball to block the opponent's fireball was even more difficult than directly swinging a sword to deflect the fireball.
"Excuse me," Countercurrent said humbly as he poked the ground with his staff again. "Frozen Path, let's go!"
Another wave of crushed ice came flying over. Gu Fei disapprovingly dodged to the side and laughed, "This move is quite nice, but it's too slow. How can it hit me?"
"Ice Tornado! Swirl! "This time, Countercurrent didn't say anything. After chanting, he unleashed an Ice Tornado.
Gu Fei moved his body sideways in an attempt to dodge, but the Ice Whirlwind clearly changed direction and moved in Gu Fei's direction. With this skill, the caster could control its movement for a certain period of time at the cost of continuous mana consumption.
The Ice Whirlwind wasn't slow. Even Superman's Slender Waist Dance was only slightly faster than it. Gu Fei, who was slower than Slender Waist Dance, naturally couldn't catch up. Moreover, Countercurrent's remote control skills weren't bad. During the match that day, he had controlled an Ice Whirlwind to block Slender Waist Dance, so it wouldn't be hard for him to control it to hit Gu Fei.
Seeing that there was no way to dodge, Gu Fei made a prompt decision. He shouted "Dual Flame Flash" and met the attack head-on. Relying on his high proficiency in the [Dual Flame Flash], he dispersed the Ice Tornado.
Countercurrent didn't panic. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed another Ice Whirlwind.
Gu Fei cursed inwardly. His lack of mana was a big problem. At most, he could only use Dual Flame Flash four times. Going against the flow seemed to have seen through this, so it wanted to exhaust Gu Fei's mana.
While he was thinking, the Ice Whirlwind was already in front of him. Gu Fei helplessly unleashed another Dual Flame Flash to finish it off. Then, he quickly pointed his sword and said, "Heaven's Descent Fire Wheel, descend."
"Hehe, don't you know that your spells have a long delay?" Countercurrent laughed.
"Of course I know." Gu Fei said.
"Also … … you can't trick me. With this spell of yours, I don't even need to move. But it's better to take two more steps forward to be safe! "Countercurrent said as he took two steps forward. Then, flames appeared in the sky behind him, and a ring of fire descended from the sky. Countercurrent glanced back and laughed, "Sure enough, those two steps were unnecessary. You're quite accurate with your spells. "
"You really are an expert." Gu Fei was also shocked. With his spell delay, if he were to attack someone with a spell, they would have enough time to run away. So he had to calculate his opponent's direction, and then use a deceptive attack. The attack just now was because he thought that if he went against the current, he might be able to take advantage of the situation to pull away from Gu Fei. That was why he threw the Heaven's Descent Flame Wheel behind him, hoping to hit him head-on. However, he didn't expect to be seen through.
There was nothing he could do about it. Gu Fei completely relied on guesswork to predict the attack, but Countercurrent didn't. When casting a spell, during the chanting process, the hand or weapon in the hand must be pointed at the target. An experienced Mage like Countercurrent had already determined the position of the Heaven's Descent Fire Wheel from Gu Fei's Dark Stream Sword.
Using Gu Fei's understanding of martial arts, Countercurrent's eyes were fast enough, but Gu Fei's hands were too slow, so naturally he couldn't hit him.
"Ice Whirlwind, spin!" Countercurrent summoned another Ice Whirlwind.
But this time, Gu Fei was prepared, and dashed forward. He could only cast a [Double Flame Flash]. Even if he could hit it this time, he wouldn't be able to hit it again. So he could only dodge, and try to get close to Countercurrent before the Ice Tornado caught up to him. Or, when the Ice Tornado caught up to him, he could use [Double Flame Flash] to deal with both Countercurrent and the Ice Tornado at the same time.
Thinking of this, Gu Fei dashed forward quickly, and took a few steps diagonally, using the Frigid Ice Trail that Countercurrent had summoned before. The first trail had already disappeared, but the second one was still there. Gu Fei didn't dare to step on it, and lightly jumped over it. At the same time, he suddenly heard Countercurrent chant again, "Frigid Ice Trail, go!"
The same "Bo" sound, but not at the same speed. This time, the Frigid Ice Trail had already helped Gu Fei set up a foothold. Gu Fei took large strides, trying not to let his feet touch the ice, but in the end, he was still a step too slow. "Zha zha!" Gu Fei steadily stepped on the Frigid Ice Trail, and immediately felt a chill from the soles of his feet. His legs lost all feeling, and he wanted to step forward, but he couldn't muster enough strength, and slowly moved half an inch.
Just as Upstream was about to say a few pleasantries, he suddenly saw Gu Fei put his sword back into his pocket, took off his Dark Moon Spiritual Robe, and pointed at the ground with his other hand as he muttered something.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Countercurrent was startled. The Frigid Ice Trail had frozen Gu Fei, and he felt that victory was already decided, but he was confused by Gu Fei's strange actions.
Gu Fei smiled, "I'm chanting!"
"Ah?" Countercurrent couldn't react in time. Suddenly, flames rose under Gu Fei's feet, and instantly engulfed him.
Self-immolation? This guy wants to say that he committed suicide, so he didn't lose to me? Isn't this shameless?
As Countercurrent was thinking, he suddenly saw Gu Fei dashing out of the flames, and was immediately dumbfounded.
Gu Fei's speed had obviously recovered, but the freezing effect shouldn't have been so short. Could it be that this Thousand Layers Flames had removed the freezing effect?
Logically speaking, fire was hot, so removing the freezing effect was reasonable. But Countercurrent didn't know if there was such a setting in the game, and even if there was, probably not many people would mess around like this. If he was hit by the freezing effect, then he would definitely suffer some damage. If he was hit by the Fire Tree Thousand Layers Flames, then wouldn't he really be burnt to ashes? Using a small fireball to warm his hands was still reasonable.
Although Countercurrent thought this way, the reality was that Gu Fei's Thousand Layers Flames had not only removed the freezing effect, but the ice whirlwind that chased after him had also disappeared in the flames.
"There really is someone messing around like this!" Countercurrent didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Gu Fei had already arrived in front of him. Countercurrent didn't panic, and calmly said, "You've already lost."
"What?" Gu Fei was startled.
"Do you still have mana?" Countercurrent smiled. Two [Double Flame Flashes], one [Heavenly Fire Wheel], and one [Blazing Tree Thousand Layers Flames]. He had even thrown a small fireball earlier. Judging from Gu Fei's actions during the Celestial Guild Assembly, Going Against the Current must have exhausted his mana.
Gu Fei smiled faintly, "I can't beat you when it comes to spells, because that's not my strong point."
After saying this, he took out the Baptism of Fire from his pocket, and swung his sword at Countercurrent.
Countercurrent was shocked. He didn't expect this Mage to be so strong, and he even had a sword hidden on him. Even without mana, he was still fighting in melee. He really didn't have the demeanor of a Mage at all!
Just as he was thinking this, Gu Fei's sword slashed down on his head. Countercurrent's reaction speed wasn't slow, and he raised his staff to meet the attack. He didn't expect Gu Fei's slash to be a feint to bully amateurs like them. When he saw that Countercurrent's staff had been drawn in, he immediately retracted his sword and changed his attack, slashing horizontally at Countercurrent's waist.
Countercurrent was hit by the sword, but when he saw the damage, he relaxed. He was afraid that Gu Fei would have some strange trick up his sleeve, but when he saw the damage, he realized that melee really wasn't a Mage's strong point.
"Resist …" Countercurrent was just about to summon a Flame Ring of Resistance, but Gu Fei's second slash came unexpectedly fast. He only managed to say two words before Gu Fei's sword slashed him. Not only was his chant interrupted, but Gu Fei's sword suddenly ignited with a red light, burning Countercurrent's body.
"Enchantment attack!" Countercurrent was stunned. This kind of attack style had been very popular for a period of time, because a guy with ID 27149 had used this style to trample on a Thief, attracting a lot of attention. And this person was a Mage, and he came from the Cloud City.
Countercurrent finally lost his cool. Could this Mage in front of him be that guy? If that's the case, he can trample on Thieves in melee. Perhaps it really is as he said, magic isn't his strong point.
"It's over!" Countercurrent spat out these two words in his heart. He wanted to chant, but he was once again interrupted by Gu Fei's swift sword, and the enchantment attack ignited once more. The enchantment attack of a Mage wasn't weak.
