Chapter 561 GGWP
It was a complete mess in the channel. Some people began to place bets, and some people analyzed the odds.
Others began to take snapshots and record the battle. If Roland really turned things around in such a trap, the video would be of high research value.
Of course, even those who were most confident about Roland didn’t think that he could escape from five Spell Breakers.
The reason was very simple. All the spellcasters, including Mages, Warlocks, and Priests, were to Spell Breakers what frogs were to snakes.
They were the natural nemeses of the spellcasters! Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been known as Spell Breakers.
In addition, it didn’t mean that the Spell Breakers would be weak against other classes.
Apart from the pure Warriors, all the classes were capable of casting some spells, or related to magic one way or another.
Even “Shadow Escape,” which the Rogues claimed to be a supernatural ability, was essentially associated with magic, and anything that was associated with magic was vulnerable to the Spell Breakers.
Even though the Spell Breakers were so powerful, they were still not among the top three classes.
It was because the Great Swordsmen, the Summoners, and the Saint Samurai had high winning rates against Spell Breakers.
In particular, it was very easy for a Great Swordsman to kill a Spell Breaker.
Watching the Spell Breakers surround him, a dozen meters from each other, Roland couldn’t help but ask, “Do you have to let everybody know about the Spell Breakers by killing me?”
“We don’t have a choice. You are the top Mage!” Carrot opened his hands and said, “Being the top always means facing challenges. Not just us, many other people intend to make a name for themselves on your ‘dead body.’ Othera would come to you sooner or later even if we didn’t.”
It was very sensible, and Roland totally understood.
In fact, Roland had seen a lot of posts on the forum from players who demanded a duel with him, but he never bothered to reply to them.
Also, Roland was traveling everywhere all the time, especially after he learned Long-Distance Teleportation. It was barely possible for regular players to track him down.
Therefore, Roland’s challengers always failed to keep up with him.
The case was different this time. These people had “invited” him to this place with a deal that involved millions of yuan. It was easy and simple.
Now that they had revealed their true intention, Roland didn’t want to back off.
His ability to flash had been blocked by the Dimensional Anchors, and so had his Human Cannonball, which was essentially based on “spatial bubbles.”
It meant that Roland’s mobility that he had always been proud of was already restricted by the enemy.
Taking a breath, Roland asked, “Then do you want to fight me one by one or altogether?”
“Your mobility has already been restricted, and we have natural advantages against you.” Carrot smiled. “It will be embarrassing if we’re to fight you altogether under such circumstances.”
I see!
Roland took out the round shield from the system Backpack and put on the ultimate equipment including the Mind-Calming Necklace and the Twilight Bracer.
Carrot raised his eyebrow and said, “Tsk, that’s a lot of epic equipment. Are not not afraid we’ll pick it up after you die?”
“No, because I think I’ll win.”
After a brief shock, Carrot burst into laughter. “Friends, do you think Roland is confident, or downright cocky?”
Everybody was laughing in the stream channel.
Few people said that Roland was confident, and most said that he was being cocky.
What should one do when faced with five natural enemies?
Just lie down and get it over with.
That was what most people thought and would do.
Everybody only had limited abilities. If you meet an insurmountable obstacle, you should circumvent it instead of just going at it.
After putting on all the equipment, Roland looked at his HP of more than three hundred points and MP of more than four hundred. He smiled and said, “Judging from what you just said, did you turn on livestreaming? It seems that you’re really prepared. I’m ready now. Which of you will come first?”
Carrot nodded. “Since you are so frank, Mr. Roland, we won’t take advantage of you. We won’t loot your epic equipment when it’s dropped after your death. We’ll keep it for you, and you can take it from us after your resurrection.”
“You’re frank too!”
Roland raised his thumb.
He didn’t think the man would lie, because all the viewers would remember his promise. If the man didn’t fulfill his promise, those viewers would mock him so hard that he would have to quit the game.
All the viewers praised him in the channel.
Comments like “What a generous man” were flying all across the screen. “Mr. Roland, let me fight you first.” A player with a shy smile stepped forward from one side. “I’m the weakest of all the five of us.”
Roland turned around and looked at him.
“Okay.” Roland subconsciously cast a magic shield on himself.
“Magic Breaking!”
The players pointed his finger at Roland, and a circle of strange, bright purple energy hovered around Roland.
Cracks immediately appeared on Roland’s magic shield.
Stunned, the player pointed at it again.
This time, Roland’s magic shield finally shattered Seeing that, all the viewers in the channel cheered in joy.
“Oh, Magic Shield, the Mages’ most powerful spell for defense, isn’t working! Roland is sure to lose!”
“That’s right. Things don’t look good for Roland. Spell Breakers are truly the Mages’ bane!”
“Look, Roland’s expression didn’t change at all, as if it was nothing surprising. Does he have other moves?”
“Of course he can’t change his expression. He’s the top Mage anyway. Wouldn’t people think less of him if he’s shocked so easily? He must be more panicked in his heart than he actually seems.”
“I think so too.”
But as a matter of fact, Roland wasn’t panicked at all.
The disappearance of the magic shield was partly directed by himself.
Having studied magic for such a long time, he had predicted that other people might come specifically at him. He had considered the Spell Breakers too.
So, he had been thinking of how to counterattack Spell Breakers.
After reading a lot of books in the Red Magic Tower and asking the mentors, he reached the conclusion that their natural advantages were only relative.
It was true that Magic Power Ebb and Magic Power Quake, the Spell Breakers’ supernatural abilities, could pose a huge impact on the Mages.
But it was intensity that mattered.
Talking about the natural advantages of the Spell Breakers while ignoring the gap between the two parties’ strength and mental power was completely unreasonable. Roland was level ten, the highest level in the city. Of course, several other players had reached level ten too, but Roland was almost level eleven.
Of the five people before his eyes, Carrot had the highest level. He was level nine.
The other four were all level eight.
They had a tiny gap in terms of level and stats.
Besides, Roland had many pieces of epic equipment and was enhanced by two titles, which further widened the gap.
Seeing that his ability didn’t work until he used it again, the player said in admiration, “You are truly an expert. When I used Magic Power Quake earlier, I could erase all the spells on the target and turn the magic power in them unstable, so that they’d die on their own without me doing anything. But your magic shield wasn’t nullified until I used the ability twice, and the magic power in your body wasn’t affected at all. That’s impressive.” “That’s nothing. It’s just because my level is higher.”
While talking, Roland pointed at this player, and colorful light was focused on his fingertips.
It was Prismatic Spray.
The player pointed his left hand at Roland and shouted, “Magic Power Quake!”
At the same time, he drew his longsword with his right hand and charged at Roland.
It was the Warriors’ skill, Charge.
The Spell Breakers were essentially Warriors who had special abilities against the magic classes.
His movement was swift, fluent, and awesome. Carrot nodded not far away, satisfied with the performance of the player whom he had trained for a long time.
The colorful light on Roland’s fingertips was easily extinguished by the bright purple energy. After no more than 0.2 seconds, the man was already halfway between them, and he would be able to attack Roland in another 0.1 seconds.
Exactly at this moment, three consecutive flashes burst out from Roland.
At the same time, Roland turned around and dodged, and one of the flashes spread out into a beautiful round moon.
“Watch out!”
Carrot cried out.
But it was already too late.
This player quickly brushed past Roland. Then, his body suddenly broke into halves. Because of the inertia of the charge, the two halves of his body were thrown far away like two heavy stones.
Eventually, they rolled on the ground, leaving a trail of blood more than ten meters long.
This young man was cut into halves the moment he passed Roland.
As explained before, being cut into halves from the waist wouldn’t cause immediate death. This player held up his upper body and looked at Roland in confusion. “What just happened?”
The viewers in the channel had the same question.
Only the players who were strong and had dynamic vision saw everything clearly.
Halfway through the Spell Breaker’s charge, Roland cast three buffs on himself. Based on the colors of the spells, they should be Body Fortification, Agility, and Anticipation.
After that, Roland drew a long saber out of his system Backpack and performed a round moon slash.
Not only was he able to dodge the charge, he even cut the enemy on the way.
All the things seemed to have taken a long time, but they actually only took one moment.
After several moments of silence, the channel was overflowing with comments.
ca
“Sweet mother of god, what did I just see? How can a Mage possibility react so fast?” “What happened? What just happened? I don’t understand!”
“Roland is capable of the Japanese Iaijutsu? His long tachi looks so awesome!”
“That’s not Iaijutsu or tachi at all. His weapon is a miaodao, and the move he used wasn’t Iaijutsu.”
“S*it. How can a Mage be so fierce in a melee battle? Do the authorities have to oppress the Warriors so hard? I’m weeping.”
“Why are the authorities to blame for Roland’s awesomeness in melee battles?”
Leaving the streaming channel aside, Carrot looked at Roland who put the miaodao on his shoulder and remarked in amazement, “No wonder you were confident in winning. I didn’t know you practiced martial arts in reality. If you’re so good at melee battles, why are you playing as a Mage? You could’ve chosen to be a Warrior and then become a Great Swordsman.”
