Chapter 741

"This is going to be troublesome. ● ● "

Blue Phoenix could not help but worry for Aqua Rose when she saw Thousand Blades use an AOE Skill right off the bat.

Rangers were physical ranged classes. The majority of their Skills were single-target Skills. Very few of them possessed AOE Skills. Hence, when dealing with a Ranger's arrows, players only needed to pay attention to the frontal attacks. Since the Ranger's attack patterns were very simple, even non-experts could dodge them.

However, once a Ranger grasped an AOE Skill, their attack patterns would no longer be simple. Dodging a Ranger's arrows would become much more difficult.

An Agility-type class would have an easier time dealing with an AOE Skill. However, Aqua Rose was a Cursemancer. In terms of mobility, she was much weaker. Dodging an expert like Thousand Blades would be even more difficult.

"Now, I'll let you experience what it feels like to wish you were dead." Thousand Blades immediately pulled his longbow into a crescent shape and fired Scorpion Arrows at Aqua Rose.

These Scorpion Arrows were all aimed at Aqua Rose's right side, where she was most likely to dodge. This was because when he had used Falling Rain, he had deliberately shifted the rain's range to Aqua Rose's left side. If Aqua Rose wanted to dodge the rain, she would have a much easier time moving to the right.

In a battle between experts, it was common sense to use the first attack as a foreshadowing for the second.

Aqua Rose remained motionless as she watched the rain of arrows descend upon her. She simply waved her emerald staff lightly, and a faint red shield enveloped her.

[Tier 0 Spell] [Life Shield] Absorbs 30% of maximum HP for 15 seconds. Cooldown: 36 seconds

Aqua Rose currently had 9,200 HP. Absorbing 30% of her total HP was equivalent to 2,760 damage.

However, this was not the end. Aqua Rose then slammed her staff against the ground. Suddenly, a gray magic array appeared on the ground.

[Tier 0 Spell] [Weakening Darkness] Within a 10 * 10 yard area, damage received reduced by 20% and casting speed increased by 20% for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute

Thousand Blades' Falling Rain was a wave of attacks. As it was an AOE Skill, its damage was not particularly high.

The rain of arrows could not even break through Aqua Rose's Life Shield.

As for Thousand Blades's prediction attacks, they were all nullified.

Seeing that his attack had failed, Thousand Blades was slightly surprised. He had never thought that Aqua Rose would not fall for his trap. However, he very quickly changed his attack pattern and attacked Aqua Rose herself.

In the blink of an eye, the five arrows transformed into five streaks of green light that shot towards Aqua Rose.

In the blink of an eye, Aqua Rose crossed the distance of over 20 yards.

Naturally, Aqua Rose wasn't one to lose out to Thousand Blades. She waved her staff, sending one pitch-black Dark Arrow after another flying at Thousand Blades. The Dark Arrows collided with Thousand Blades' arrows and scattered. In addition, Aqua Rose double-cast Shadow Enfeeblement. Several clouds of black fog appeared around Thousand Blades and pounced on him.

Seeing the several clouds of black fog pouncing at him, Thousand Blades abruptly retreated, dodging the oncoming clouds. He then continued to fire arrows at Aqua Rose. The fierce assault continued.

Both sides exchanged blows, neither gaining the upper hand.

Thousand Blades, on the other hand, was more agile. He moved around to evade Aqua Rose's attacks, while Aqua Rose used all sorts of Skills to defend herself. Neither side lost a single strand of HP.

"This Aqua Rose is quite good. She's already grasped the trick of double-casting. It's no wonder why she was so famous in the past. With proper nurturing, she might even reach the apex of the Asura Battle Team in the future. It's a pity that she joined the Asura Battle Team." Everlasting War had never thought that Aqua Rose would be so powerful. In terms of offense and defense, Aqua Rose was on par with Thousand Blades.

Thousand Blades had already reached the Refinement Realm. His control over his body had reached the finest detail, allowing him to fight in the most efficient and efficient manner. Ordinary people would find it difficult to deal with his frontal attacks. Meanwhile, Thousand Blades's attacks were not ordinary attacks. He fired three arrows in a row practically every time. If an ordinary person were struck by a counterattack, they would have a high chance of getting hit.

Yet, by relying on double-casting, Aqua Rose attacked from both sides. While defending …

However, such a high-intensity battle was a significant drain on a player's Concentration and Stamina. Now that Thousand Blades had reached the Refinement Realm, he would undoubtedly save a lot of effort. If the battle dragged on, Aqua Rose would not be able to hold on.

Sure enough, Aqua Rose's reputation is well-deserved. We've only fought for a short time, yet she has already figured out my movement patterns. Thousand Blades's lips twitched. He had never thought that Aqua Rose would grow stronger as the battle progressed. Now, he no longer underestimated Aqua Rose as he had before.

Originally, he had had a very easy time dodging Aqua Rose's curses. However, as time passed, Aqua Rose's grasp of her curses became increasingly accurate. Now, she was able to predict his next move with increasing accuracy, making it more difficult for him to evade.

Initially, he had fired five arrows in a row. Now, he could only fire three arrows while dodging.

But why is her Dark Arrow so powerful? With the power of my Scorpion Arrows, even if they hit me, they should, at most, affect my attack trajectory. They shouldn't have bounced me back. Thousand Blades was very confident in his arrows. He had never thought that he would encounter such a situation. I can't drag this out any longer.

Thousand Blades was also very clear that if the battle continued, Aqua Rose's advantage would only grow.

Suddenly, Thousand Blades used the Tier 1 Skill, Heart Piercing Arrow.

Xiu! A silver arrow pierced through the air, flying straight for Aqua Rose.

The Heart-Piercing Arrow's power was astonishing. Even the team's Berserkers would not dare to receive it head-on. Relying on the power of Instant Cast Dark Arrow was simply impossible to block.

Peng!

The Heart-Piercing Arrow shattered Aqua Rose's Dark Arrow. Meanwhile, the Heart-Piercing Arrow's power only decreased slightly. Still, it continued flying towards Aqua Rose's heart.

What powerful Strength. Aqua Rose knew that she wouldn't have enough time to cast a spell. She immediately raised her staff to block the attack.

Peng!

The Heart-Piercing Arrow struck Aqua Rose's staff, forcing her to retreat five steps. Both of her hands were numb from the impact, and a damage of over -600 points appeared above her head.

"Die!" Thousand Blades smiled faintly as he took the opportunity to launch a flurry of attacks.

Like a storm, Scorching Arrows rained down on Aqua Rose.

Due to the Heart-Piercing Arrow disrupting Aqua Rose's rhythm, she could no longer effectively defend herself against the dozen or so arrows.

Meanwhile, a Cursemancer's Lifesaving Skill was only Soul Defense. The Skill could reduce damage taken by 90% for four seconds. However, the Movement Speed Reduction effect and HP reduction effect remained the same. Once Aqua Rose's Soul Defense was removed, the outcome was obvious.

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being a Cursemancer." Thousand Blades could not help but feel proud of his success.

Dang … Dang … Dang …

Suddenly, three gigantic wooden puppets appeared in front of Aqua Rose. Like an impenetrable wall, the three wooden puppets blocked all of the incoming arrows. Not a single arrow struck Aqua Rose.

"What's going on?" Thousand Blades's expression darkened when he saw the three gigantic wooden puppets.

[Forest Elf] (Special Elite) Level 38 HP 240,000/240,000

Even a powerful expert could only deal with one Special Elite of the same level. Now, however, three Special Elites had appeared before him. Moreover, there was a Cursemancer with plenty of Control Skills. The situation on the battlefield was overwhelmingly disadvantageous to him.
