"This is going to be troublesome. …. "
When Blue Phoenix saw Thousand Blades use an AOE Skill right off the bat, she could not help but worry for Shiuse Qiangwei.
A Ranger was a physical ranged class. The majority of their Skills were single-target Skills. Very few had AOE Skills. Hence, when dealing with a Ranger's arrows, one only needed to pay attention to the frontal attacks. Even a non-expert could dodge the arrows easily.
However, once a Ranger grasped an AOE Skill, their attack patterns would no longer be limited. Dodging the Ranger's arrows would become much more difficult.
An Agility-based class would have an easier time dealing with Thousand Blades' attacks. However, Shiuse Qiangwei was a Cursemancer. His mobility was far inferior. Dodging an expert like Thousand Blades' attacks would be even more difficult.
"Now, I'll let you experience what it feels like to wish you were dead!" Thousand Blades immediately drew his longbow into a full moon. He then circled Shiuse Qiangwei and fired Scorpion Arrows at him.
These Scorpion Arrows targeted Shiuse Qiangwei's right side, where he had the highest chance of dodging. When Thousand Blades used Falling Rain, he had deliberately shifted the Skill's AOE to Shiuse Qiangwei's left side. If Shiuse Qiangwei wanted to dodge the Falling Rain, moving to the right would naturally be easier.
In a battle between experts, it was common sense to use the first attack as a foreshadowing for the second attack.
Seeing the rain of arrows descending upon him, Shiuse Qiangwei remained motionless. Instead, he lightly waved his emerald staff, and a faint red shield enveloped Shiuse Qiangwei.
[Tier 0 Spell, Life Shield] Absorbs 30% of damage taken from maximum HP for 15 seconds. Cooldown: 36 seconds
Shiuse Qiangwei currently had 9,200 HP. Absorbing 30% of the damage was equivalent to dealing -2,760 damage.
However, this was not the end. Shiuse Qiangwei's emerald staff shook the ground. Suddenly, a gray magic array appeared on the ground.
[Tier 0 Spell, Dark Weakening] Within a radius of 10 * 10 yards, damage received reduced by 20% and casting speed increased by 20% for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute
Thousand Blades used Falling Rain to launch a wave of attacks. As it was an AOE Skill, its damage was not very high.
Even Shiuse Qiangwei's Life Shield could not break through the rain of arrows.
As for Thousandedge's predictive attack, it naturally collapsed.
Thousandedge was slightly surprised that his attack had failed. He hadn't expected that Shiuse Qiangwei wouldn't be fooled. However, they quickly changed their attack pattern and attacked Shiuse Qiangwei directly.
In the blink of an eye, the five arrows turned into five streaks of green light and shot towards the Shiuse Qiangwei.
The distance of 20 yards was covered in the blink of an eye.
Shiuse Qiangwei naturally didn't lose to Thousandedge. He waved his staff. Pitch-black Shadow Arrows flew out one after another. When the Shadow Arrows collided with the Shadow Arrows, they scattered. In addition, Shiuse Qiangwei used Double Cast, Shadow Enfeeble. Several black mists appeared around Thousandblade and pounced on him.
When Thousand Blades faced the incoming black fog, he changed his footwork. His body abruptly retreated, dodging the incoming black fog. He then continued to fire arrows. The ferocious attacks continued.
Both sides exchanged blows, neither gaining the upper hand.
Thousandedge was more agile. He used various guerilla tactics to dodge Shiuse Qiangwei's attacks. In response, Shiuse Qiangwei used various Skills to defend himself. Neither side lost a single HP.
"This Shiuse Qiangwei is quite good. He has grasped the knack of Double Casting so quickly. It's no wonder why he was somewhat famous before. If nurtured properly, he might reach the apex in the future. It's a pity that he joined the Asura Battle Team." Everlasting War had never imagined that Shi Feng would be so powerful. In terms of offense and defense, Shi Feng was actually on par with Thousandedge.
Thousandedge had already reached the Refinement Realm. His control over his body had reached the Refinement Realm. He could fight in the fastest and most effective way. Ordinary people would struggle to defend against his frontal attacks. Furthermore, Thousandedge's attacks were no ordinary attacks. He fired three arrows in a row almost every time. If an ordinary person were in his place, they would have an 80% chance of getting hit by Thousandedge's counterattacks.
However, Shiuse Qiangwei relied on Double Casting to attack from both sides. Both sides defended.
However, such a high-intensity battle placed a significant burden on a player's Concentration and Stamina. Now that Thousandedge had reached the Refinement Realm, he could save a lot of energy. If the battle dragged on, Shiuse Qiangwei would not last long.
"This Shiuse Qiangwei really lives up to his reputation. We've only fought for a short time, yet he has already figured out my movement patterns." Thousandedge clicked his tongue. He had never imagined that Shiuse Qiangwei would grow stronger as the battle progressed. Thousandedge no longer underestimated the Swordsman.
Originally, he had had an easy time dodging Shiuse Qiangwei's curses. However, as time passed, Shiuse Qiangwei's curses improved. The Swordsman could already predict his next move with increasing accuracy. As a result, Thousandedge had a harder time dodging the Swordsman's attacks.
In the beginning, he had fired five arrows in a row. Now, he could only fire three arrows in a row while dodging.
"But why are her Dark Arrows so powerful? Even if my Scorching Poison Arrows hit, they should've only affected their trajectories. They shouldn't have been sent flying." Thousandedge was very confident in his arrows. He had never imagined that he would encounter such a situation. "I can't drag this out any longer."
Thousandedge knew very well that Shiuse Qiangwei would only gain an advantage if the battle dragged on.
Immediately, Thousandedge used the Tier 1 Skill, Heart Piercing Arrow.
Xiu! A silver arrow tore through the air, flying straight for Shiuse Qiangwei.
The Heart Piercing Arrow's power was frightening. Even the team's Berserkers did not dare receive the Heart Piercing Arrow head-on.
Peng!
The Heart Piercing Arrow shattered Shiuse Qiangwei's Dark Arrows. Meanwhile, the Heart Piercing Arrow's momentum only decreased slightly. Still, it continued to fly towards Shiuse Qiangwei's heart.
"What Strength." Shiuse Qiangwei knew that it was too late to cast a Spell. Hence, he raised his staff to block the Heart Piercing Arrow.
Peng!
When the Heart Piercing Arrow struck Shiuse Qiangwei's staff, the Heart Piercing Arrow stumbled five steps back, his hands numb from the impact. A damage of over -600 points also appeared above his head.
"Die!" Thousandedge smiled faintly, taking advantage of the opportunity to launch a flurry of attacks.
Like a storm, Scorching Poison Arrows swept towards Shiuse Qiangwei one after another.
Because Aqua Rose's rhythm had been disrupted by the Heart-Piercing Arrow, she was no longer able to form an effective defense against the dozen or so arrows.
Meanwhile, a Cursemancer's Lifesaving Skill was only Soul Defense, which reduced damage received by 90% for four seconds. However, after being poisoned, the Movement Speed and HP reduction would still exist. As long as Soul Defense was removed, the outcome would be self-evident.
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being a Cursemancer." Thousandedge could not help but feel pleased when he saw that he had succeeded.
Dang … Dang … Dang …
Suddenly, three massive wooden figures appeared before Shiuse Qiangwei. Like an impenetrable fortress, the three wooden figures blocked all of the arrows. None of the arrows struck Shiuse Qiangwei.
"What's going on?" Thousandedge's complexion darkened when he saw the three massive wooden figures.
[Forest Elf] (Special Elite) Level 38 HP 240,000/240,000
A powerful expert could only deal with one Special Elite of the same level. Now, however, three Special Elites had appeared before him. There was also a Cursemancer with plenty of Control Skills. The situation on the battlefield was overwhelmingly disadvantageous for him.
