MMORPG: The Elementalist

Ice damage inflicted on the target for four consecutive seconds!

While Godslayer was fully focused on the situation directly in front of him, Qin Ruo easily went around to his back and froze the defenseless red-tagged Tier 4 Bandit. The Tier 1 Elementalism resulted in an almost perfect Ice damage.

Four seconds long! This duration was more than enough to kill a Bandit.

“Ice! Arrow!”

With a swift chant, five Frost Arrows rapidly formed from ice before Qin Ruo’s eyes.

The five Frost Arrows which carried a threatening aura were pointed at Godslayer’s back, causing him to tremble. He was terrified as he had no clue how his exact location was discovered, unaware of the approaching Elementalist!

As Qin Ruo had used Tier 3 magic, his Water Element status was quickly removed.

However, Qin Ruo was not concern about being seen as he had ensured there was not a single living creature within the hundred-meter radius, aside from a few camouflaged Marshcrocs.

Moreover, Godslayer had his back against Qin Ruo the moment he was inflicted with Status Effect: Frozen. So there was no way he could have witnessed Aquamorph and therefore it is impossible for him to reveal this skill to the public…

He just needed to finish him as quickly as possible!

Without hesitation, Qin Ruo waved his arm and the five Frost Arrows shot out, splitting the wind.

*Swoosh swoosh*

“Ugh!”

Godslayer’s blood splattered out from his back like five budding flowers entangled in ice crystals.

Godslayer groaned in pain. Even though he was one of the core members of Order of the Eight Gods Clan, he was baffled that he could end up frozen without even seeing his opponent’s face—immobilized and treated as a human punchbag.

This feeling was agonizing. His body was pierced through by the five Frost Arrows, each carrying a heart penetrating chill that nearly froze all the blood within his body.

Unexpectedly, a single cast of the Tier 3 spell failed to kill him instantly despite his frozen status. Although he was on the brink of death, this gave him a glimmer of hope. The high Magic Defense and HP of the equipment he wore enabled him to withstand the attack under such circumstances.

Hah! It’s hard to say whether he was the lucky one or his opponent was just unfortunate.

With such weak damage, he was confident that he could withstand his opponent’s second attack with his remaining 500 plus HP and even launch a surprise counterattack. Spells like Frost Arrows could be released consecutively but had a cooldown duration. Which was why it was even more unlikely for his opponent to cast a Tier 4 spell with a long cast time.

Thus, he decided to use Stealth before his HP dropped to zero. Until then…

Hmph! Qin Ruo was it? I’ll remember your name. You will regret what you’ve done today!

Godslayer sneered inwardly while waiting for his opponent’s second attack to pass. Then his status effect would be removed, enabling him to launch his deadly counterattack.

***

How is it possible that the multiple Frost Arrows failed to kill the Bandit who was frozen?

It was evident that Qin Ruo did not expect this outcome. He was utterly surprised seeing his opponent crouching there unmoving with his back facing him!

He lost focus for just a second but quickly regained himself.

Hmph, his Magic Defense is on par with a Tier 3 Elementalist while his HP is abnormally higher than a common Tier 4 Bandit. It shouldn’t be as simple as adding Vitality to his stats… This red tagged Bandit’s equipment is quite exceptional!

As he pondered, he quickly made a decision.

Instantly, a thin layer of Aquarampart formed below Godslayer’s legs. In a timely manner, the wall constricted the moment the frozen status effect was about to disappear.

“Freeze!!”

Before Godslayer was able to move his limbs and run away with his activated Stealth, he was once again inflicted with Status Effect: Frozen after he heard a dreadful crunch.

His initial feelings of hope and excitement were once again replaced with despair!

Justice has been served! Player Godslayer was killed! Player Godslayer’s Infamy Points: 13!

When the system notification appeared, Godslayer’s body which had a Frostpike pierced through his chest all the way to the back fell facedown into the swamp.

Even Qin Ruo, who was rather calm throughout the fight, was startled by the system’s notification:

Thirteen Infamy Points?

This dude is absurd. He was able to survive this long despite killing thirteen players. If I wasn’t his opponent, the number would have gone up.

But now…

Hmph!

1 Infamy Point was sufficient to detain him in the Underwater Prison for two hours. 13 Infamy Points was equivalent to twenty-six hours, which meant that he had to stay in the prison for twenty-six hours before he could be released.

A drop in level and twenty-six hours of imprisonment—he deserved it!

“Oh yea, the equipment.”

Qin Ruo ran to Godslayer’s corpse. He then looted three equipment from the muddy swamp water…

(For hostile PvP between the players, the one who is killed by a Monster has a 50% chance of dropping equipment. If killed by a Boss, the probability is 100%. If killed with the red-tagged status, the probability of equipment dropping is 200%.)

Godslayer’s Infamy Points were relatively high, so it was not unusual that he dropped three equipment at once.

Still, Godslayer did manage to survive his Frost Arrows twice, so his Dexterity made Qin Ruo pay closer attention to him. He quickly activated Aquamorph after he looted the equipment to scan through those three items.

After inspecting, Qin Ruo was awestruck.

F*ck this guy is bloody rich! What is this brat’s role in Order of the Eight Gods Clan? Among the three dropped items, two are Gold tier. Not only that all the items had high Magic Defense and high HP bonus. The Violet Equipment attribute could also be considered of the highest quality.

“Arghhhhh!!!”

Imprisoned in Sin City’s Underwater Prison, Godslayer was surrounded by the extremely humid and cold environment as he stared into the void. He roared with fury!

It was only now that he realized that the Elementalist who just killed him was merely a Tier 3 Aquamancer. He was actually killed by a Tier 3 rookie…

“Brothers near Devil’s Swamp, heed my words. At coordinates ( xx, yy ¹ ) find a Tier 3 Aquamancer named ‘Qin Ruo’… Those who see him, immediately inform the Hunters… No questions! Just kill him on sight!”
