Chapter 528: Prince of Scrolls Versus Prince of Potions

Originally everyone thought this was a lone Fallen Angel Winged Champion facing off with a dozen Winged Champions from Netherspirit’s Claw. No one expected this to turn out to be the biggest gamble of the century in H&G! Therefore after hearing this, more and more players flocked toward Savis Town.

Many veteran players were initially uninterested. However, after hearing about Raziel’s defeat, they all stopped their tasks at hand and headed toward Savis Town. They wanted to see who this new overpowered Aquamancer was, besides the Winter Demon Qin Ruo from the Fallen Angels. They wanted to see just how strong he was and if he could really defeat Dark Dragon. Then suddenly, the stakes were raised and became a huge gamble. While they were excited, they were also worried for Dark Dragon.

It was not easy for a player to become a Tier 5 Champion. And everyone could see that this Netherspirit’s Menace was no pushover—he had a pair of Angelic Wings, owned two Divinity Crystals, and defeated Raziel in just a few seconds. He was fully capable of ruining Dark Dragon in just one night.

Dark Dragon flapped his Angelic Wings in the air, not saying anything. He and the other Winged Champions behind him were all succumbing to the pressure of this unknown Fallen Angels’ Aquamancer. The powerful prideful Dark Dragon had lost his touch.

“Dark Dragon has lost.” Remorseless Warrior sighed.

Indeed.

Dark Dragon had lost. Everyone in the crowd was already siding with Netherspirit’s Menace. They were all staring at Dark Dragon. It felt like he had stepped into his enemy’s turf. The pressure that he was feeling must really be tremendously unbearable.

Besides, having a pet on his side was not really an advantage in this fight. They were both airborne at the moment, so a pet would not be of much help. And Dark Dragon’s pet was already a widely known knowledge to many—if one had the time, he could do a research on it and sketch up a strategy to fight or defend it.

“So? What about it? You’re a Field Commander for the number one clan of the Angel Faction. Don’t tell me you don’t even have one Divinity Crystal on you?”

“Or… are you scared?”

Dark Dragon was pushed to a corner. He must decide now.

“You…”

After hearing Qin Ruo’s conceited provoking words, Dark Dragon finally could not bear with it anymore.

“Alright. I’ll accept the challenge!”

After barking out his reply, Dark Dragon flew a dozen meters higher to the sky as a misty black ghastly figure appeared behind him.

The Misty Beast!

“Heh, good!”

Qin Ruo started to accumulate elements in his hands. These types of pets were usually effective when battling against warrior-type players due to their support capabilities. However, Dark Dragon was facing him—an Elementalist.

‘Hmm, which attack would you throw at me first?’

Qin Ruo had figured out Dark Dragon’s plan. As they were inching closer to one another, Qin Ruo and Dark Dragon flipped out their Magic Scrolls.

Chaotic Hurricane!

Frozen Realm!

Two Tier 5 AoE magic attacks immediately clashed with one another. The surrounding area was filled with violent swirls of wind and snow. Hundreds of players were lifted into the sky. Only a few Tier 5 Champions were still standing, protected by the defensive skills and shields that they had activated beforehand.

“… many spectators here seem to be strong veterans, huh.”

Remorseless Warrior glanced at the champions who were still standing in the area. They all had high-tier equipment on them, watching the fight in utter calmness.

***

After Qin Ruo and Dark Dragon exchanged blows with one another, they immediately followed up with another round of attacks—so fast that the spectators almost could not keep up with the battle. Then, a shockwave was sent out far and wide, nullifying both of their Angelic Wings and everyone’s Elemental Perception.

As they were falling from the sky, the two of them were basically blind as bats without their Elemental Perceptions. However, they were quick to react—if they had allowed themselves to crash to the ground like this, they would be killed by the impact without their shields and barriers.

Dark Dragon’s “Flight” and “Float” would provide him tremendous advantage under the current circumstances. Even if things turned dire, he could still blow up the wind elements below him to cushion his fall.

However, Dark Dragon chose “Flight”. Using the inertia that was left behind by his Angelic Wings, he flung out a “Flight” Magic Scroll and continued rushing toward Qin Ruo. As he got close to his opponent, a few more Magic Scrolls were flung out of his hands.

“Frenzied Windblades!”

“Spiral Tempest!”

In the meantime, the Misty Beast was not affected by the Tier 5 AoE magic attacks. It hid behind Dark Dragon’s back while extending its ghastly body to protect his body—almost like a second barrier. If any attacks were to come their way, Dark Dragon was not going to be harmed because they would be absorbed by the Misty Beast.

Dark Dragon’s plan was perfect.

In the first round, he had basically set a huge limitation and obstacle for his opponent while providing great advantage to his pet. However, after both consecutive AoE Magic Attack missed his target, a chill went down his spine.

***

Qin Ruo knew Dark Dragon. So, he knew that he would hurl Tier 5 spells to pave a way toward him. He, naturally, also knew what was the next step this opponent would do after the first attack.

Qin Ruo was no fool. He would not butt heads with Dark Dragon, an Aeromancer, in a battlefield that was literally flooded with wind elements.

Therefore, the moment Dark Dragon released his attacks, Qin Ruo activated his Liquid Form. Then, he stealthily glided over the area below Dark Dragon’s back, evading the attack.

Then, he activated his Elemental Perception and started charging his attack.

“Chaotic Hurricane!”

Just as he started charging his Mana, Qin Ruo heard Dark Dragon’s barking out his attack again.

Damn, another Tier 5 AoE magic?!

The wind elements that were raging in the air had torn all the snow and hails in the area. As his Elemental Perception started to reveal his surroundings, it deactivated yet again after being struck by Dark Dragon’s attack.

“….”

Qin Ruo could not help but frown. He hurriedly flung out a “Frozen Realm” Magic Scroll.

Dark Dragon’s advantage was overwhelmingly obvious. Qin Ruo could not allow him to retain his Elemental Perception.

Boom!

In less than three seconds, four Tier 5 AoE magic scrolls were wasted, just like that.

A huge snow storm covered everyone’s eyesight yet again. The battle was so intense! The spectators let out a loud echoing cheer and could not wait to see what was going on inside the heavy storm.

***

Booom!!!

As their third magic clashed, Dark Dragon started to gain the upper hand. As AoE spells were destroying Qin Ruo’s Elemental Perception, he was also gradually shoved to the edge of the battle area. Even though Dark Dragon seemed to have used too many magic scrolls, he was able to corner Qin Ruo gradually…

“So, you want to force me out with these series of attacks?”

Qin Ruo felt so angry. Dark Dragon seemed to have turned to a “Prince of Magic Scrolls”! Who would carry that many scrolls on them anyway?!

“You forced my hand.”

As the AoE wind attacks started to inch closer, Qin Ruo knew he had to show his hand. He took out four high tier potions and then gulped them in one go!

“Giant Tree Sap is in effect. HP is raised by 100 points for 180 minutes!”

“Darkfrost Potion is in effect. Compatibility with water had been raised by 10%, Ice damage was raised by 20% for thirty minutes.”

“Guardian Potion is in effect. Raising speed by 50% for thirty minutes.”

***

After gulping down the potions, Qin Ruo’s stats had been raised significantly.

His HP was raised to 3180. His attack and defense were raised too and more importantly, his movement speed was raised to a whopping 70%—he could run thirty meters within two seconds. If he timed it correctly, he could reach Dark Dragon’s back in an instant.

“Frozen Realm!”

Settled on a plan, Qin Ruo flung out the last Tier 5 AoE Magic attack from his backpack and dashed forward.

***

Dark Dragon had cast out three Tier 5 AoE Magic Scrolls and several other low-tier AoE magic scrolls and all of them hit nothing. He held his breath as he stared at his depleting backpack.

The pressure that he was feeling was tremendously stronger than Qin Ruo. One attack after attack ended not hitting the target while not receiving any system message that informed him of the whereabouts of his opponent—this was very nerve-wracking to him.

He was different from Netherspirit’s Menace. He could afford to lose in this battle.

If he lost, his reputation would be all but ruined. He would never be able to face the Fallen Angels with dignity ever again. Thus, he poured in everything he got in the battle.

Suddenly, the system message reported that his attack had landed on a target.

Feeling a surge of hope, Dark Dragon instantaneously reached for the last few scrolls in his backpack and flung them out!

Then… again…

His AoE spells missed their targets. Every single one of them sank into the vast snow storm.

Netherspirit’s Menace suddenly disappeared again, lurking in the darkness as he extended a huge claw toward Dark Dragon’s throat.
