At this moment, the sword ghost's mentality was completely different from Gu Fei's. The three consecutive attacks had scared him into a cold sweat. Especially the last attack, which had been a subconscious move to protect him from the attack.
His opponent was a Mage, and he was a Rogue. Normally, he should be trying to get close to his opponent, while his opponent would keep a distance and attack him with long-range spells.
But now, the Mage was attacking the Rogue with a dagger, and the Rogue didn't dare to come forward after taking three hits from him. No matter how experienced the sword ghost was in the game, he had never thought that he would experience such a scene. At first, he was worried about the Mage's beginner spell, Fireball. Although it was a low-level spell, if he was hit by the fireball, the damage would be equivalent to two or three slashes from him. But the Mage didn't use any spells at all, and just stabbed him with a dagger. This was too unreliable!
The two sides were in a stalemate, and no one dared to move forward.
The sword ghost quickly thought of a strategy. He didn't have a long-range attack yet, so he had to get close to his opponent if he wanted to take him down. But at the thought of close combat, the sword ghost broke out in cold sweat again.
"Fireball …" Gu Fei suddenly spoke to the crowd, but suddenly, a fireball appeared in front of him.
Damn it, I was so worried about the guy's close combat ability that I forgot that he was a Mage. As soon as the sword ghost saw the fireball, it began to move in an irregular S-shape without waiting for his opponent to release it. He had already seen the Mage cast Fireball in the game. After the fireball was shot out, it would track the target within a very short time and a very small range. As long as the target didn't get hit or run out of the range, it would be considered a success.
The sword ghost twisted crazily in the open space in the crowd, waiting for Gu Fei to say "shoot." Unexpectedly, Gu Fei looked at the fireball in front of him and muttered, "I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to that fireball."
With a whoosh, the first fireball went out, but then the second one ignited. The sword ghost twisted even more crazily. But Gu Fei's fireball still didn't shoot out. He stood there at a loss, and soon, the fireball went out by itself.
He had to worry about his fireball from afar, and he couldn't gain the upper hand in close combat. How could he fight? There was no other way. This was the only way! Sword Ghost thought that Gu Fei's repeated fireballs were to restrict his movements. Before Gu Fei could ignite a third fireball, Sword Ghost also used his exclusive skill. Sword Ghost's figure gradually thinned like fog, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Hide!!" Someone in the crowd shouted.
Stealth was definitely a Thief's trump card, so it wasn't surprising. What truly shocked everyone was that Stealth was a skill that could only be learned by Thieves at Level 24. Although they knew that the Sword Ghost's level was definitely higher than theirs, they did not expect it to be so much higher. As expected of the number one player in the online gaming world. Just a moment ago, they were still worried that Gu Fei had defeated the Sword Specter in three moves, but in the blink of an eye, they were filled with confidence.
In the game world, levels were the most important. Level 24 versus Level 10. With such a huge gap, there was no need to even fight!
Sword Ghoul disappeared from everyone's sight. He hid somewhere on the field and observed Gu Fei's movements.
The Sword Ghoul didn't use Stealth right away because it was a Level 6 Wizard skill: Ring of Resistance.
The specialty of Stealth was that it would immediately appear as soon as it attacked or was attacked. Although the Ring of Resistance's attack was small, its range was slightly longer than a melee attack. Therefore, a Thief would not be able to get close to a Mage while the Ring of Resistance was active.
Of course, the Ring of Resistance also had a weakness. It had a cooldown time and a cooldown time, and the difference between the two times meant that a Mage could not guarantee that the Ring of Resistance would always be active. This time difference was the perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Sword Ghoul deduced two points based on his own experience. First, in a PvP match between Beginner Mages, he would immediately activate the Ring of Resistance. Second, the opponent would definitely not expect that he had mastered the Level 24 Thief skill, Stealth. Therefore, his original plan was to wait for Gu Fei to use up the Ring of Resistance, then he would sneak in and deal a fatal blow.
But now it seemed that both of his deductions were wrong. Gu Fei did not activate the Ring of Resistance, nor did he show the slightest surprise at his Stealth. In addition, this Mage's melee combat ability was even more terrifying than a Thief's. This was something that Sword Ghoul could not imagine unless he had personally experienced it.
Forced by the situation, Sword Ghoul could only use Stealth first. He believed that after seeing him use Stealth, the Mage would immediately activate the Ring of Resistance. But his Stealth would last three seconds longer than the Ring of Resistance. He would first get close, wait for the Ring of Resistance to cool down, and then use these three seconds to get close and kill the opponent. Unless … the opponent's Ring of Resistance had been upgraded, and the duration was longer than his Stealth. But this possibility could be said to be non-existent. A Level 10 character would not have the time and money to upgrade any of his skills.
Through his understanding of the game, he accurately calculated and formulated the best battle plan. This had always been Sword Ghoul's style in online games. Even if the opponent was only a Level 10 Mage, he would not underestimate him.
Unfortunately, this time his judgment was wrong.
Gu Fei still did not activate the Ring of Resistance, nor did he wander around the field to avoid the invisible enemy. He still stood motionless.
"Could it be that he has not learned the Ring of Resistance? Or, is he really a noob who can't be any noob? " Sword Ghoul was uncertain, but he could not miss the opportunity. He quickly approached Gu Fei and predicted the possible routes that Gu Fei would take.
Gu Fei did not move. He did not even use a finger. Sword Ghoul even wondered if he had to stick close to him and blow air on his face for him to have a sense of danger.
In the blink of an eye, Sword Ghoul was already behind Gu Fei, but Gu Fei still did not react. Sword Ghoul had no time to think. His Stealth time was almost up, and he was ready to use the strongest attack he had at the moment. Level 18 Thief Skill: Backstab.
As the name suggested, this skill should be used behind the target, and under normal circumstances, it would cause 200% + 40 points of damage. Although the Stealth effect would disappear the moment the skill was used, and the surrounding people would be alerted to Gu Fei's presence, his dagger would definitely be in the middle of Gu Fei's back by then. With a difference of 14 levels, a Thief's Backstab against a Mage would only result in instant death.
None of the onlookers understood the changes on the field, and no one knew that Sword Ghoul had stuck close to Gu Fei's back.
But at this moment, Gu Fei suddenly turned around and stretched out his left hand. The onlookers couldn't help but let out gasps of surprise. But then, they saw Sword Ghoul's figure suddenly appear out of thin air. His outstretched right hand was tightly gripping the dagger, but his right wrist was firmly grasped by Gu Fei's left hand.
The scene in everyone's minds froze in that instant, but the situation on the field did not stop changing.
Gu Fei's left hand quickly pressed down and twisted. Sword Ghoul's wrist was in pain, and his fingers were powerless. He opened his palm, and the dagger slipped from his hand. Gu Fei bent his right hand and grabbed Sword Ghoul's dagger. His fingers loosened and then tightened, and he threw away the knife in his hand. Then, he bent his left hand, and Sword Ghoul's right arm was bent behind his back. Gu Fei had already rushed over, and with a raise of his right hand, he placed the dagger across Sword Ghoul's neck.
Gu Fei's movements were swift and decisive, and by the time the onlookers reacted, Sword Ghoul was already under Gu Fei's control.
A knife was pressed against his neck. Even though this was an online game and no one knew if this situation posed any threat, anyone with eyes would be able to tell the difference between victory and defeat.
"Ah! Beautiful!!! "Fireball suddenly exclaimed. Thinking that once Gu Fei was defeated, he would be the next target, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive. Now that he saw Gu Fei win beautifully, he was invigorated. He rushed out of the crowd, clapped his hands, and patted Sword Ghoul. "You're Level 24, right? You were defeated by a Level 10 Mage. Do you admit defeat? Hahaha! "Fireball had a triumphant look on his face, as if he had defeated Sword Ghoul.
Sword Ghoul's face was ashen. He admitted defeat. He had even hidden behind Gu Fei to stab him in the back. The opponent had given him such an opportunity, and he still lost. What else was there to be unhappy about? A Level 25 Thief only had these few tricks up their sleeves. Who the hell was this guy? Looking at the skills he used, they didn't seem to be in-game skills at all!
Admitting defeat didn't mean he was happy about his loss. Sword Ghoul's heart was filled with mixed feelings. In addition to his doubts about Gu Fei's skill, he also felt sorry for himself. He was once the number one expert in the game, but now he had been defeated by a Mage who was 15 levels lower than him. Was everything he had really become a thing of the past?
Just as he was thinking, Gu Fei had let him go. Sword Ghoul turned around, took two steps back, and looked at Gu Fei. "What's your name?"
"A Thousand Miles Drunk!" Gu Fei replied.
"Good. I'll come find you again! "Sword Ghoul said.
Gu Fei smiled and nodded. Sword Ghoul turned around to leave, but Gu Fei suddenly called him back. "Wait, your dagger." He tossed the dagger over to Sword Ghoul.
Sword Ghoul reached out to catch it, but was stunned. His dagger was called Frosty Memories. Apart from damage, it also had 25 Dexterity, a 30% chance of a critical hit, and a 10% chance of Rank 3 Freeze damage. Sword Ghoul had unintentionally used the terrain of the forest to trap monsters, and a boss of unknown levels had dropped this dagger. Currently, no weapon on the official website had better stats than this dagger. Sword Ghoul's face was ashen after losing, partly because the dagger had fallen into Gu Fei's hands.
But at this moment, Gu Fei tossed it back into his hands. Sword Ghoul gripped it tightly, not daring to believe that this was real. Nowadays, the game was filled with money warriors. This kind of high quality item could easily be sold for several months of a normal person's salary. But this kid in front of him, did he not understand, or what was going on?
Sword Ghoul didn't understand, and didn't know what to say. He could only nod his head towards Gu Fei, thank him, and then turn around to leave.
