Chapter 836: Legendary Mage

Translator: alyschu

"Kill!"

Gui Guzi, High Fighting Spirits, Xu Yang and other hot-blooded fighters couldn’t restrain themselves any longer. We all wanted a piece of the Immortal Rank boss that could drop Immortal-grade equipment, and we definitely wanted a piece of the sworn enemy that was attempting to stop us from getting to the boss, Candle Dragon. There was no chance we were ever going to turn around and leave.

Nearly a hundred Dragonlight Cavalrymen galloped at the forefront while the Frostscale Cavalry and Purple Cavalry covered the rear. Even Purple Lily, Blazing Hot Lips, Hunting Moon Dynasty and Hegemon Palace had shown up as well. It wasn’t surprising though. For now, an Immortal Rank boss was hot stuff, and everyone wanted at least a piece of it.

......

I was among the vanguard as I rode toward Candle Dragon at top speed. The Phantom Wolf King stayed close to me to prevent any enemy from sneaking up on me.

Rumble rumble rumble...

However, the sound of horse hooves started dispersing little by little, and we all noticed that the environment was covered in shrubbery and craggy rocks that were very detrimental to a cavalry charge. This was probably why Candle Dragon had dared to leave behind only a thousand mages and archers or so to guard the valley entrance. Most mounts would lose at least 75% of their movement speed in this terrain, and in this situation it was deadly to say the least.

A group of archers appeared on a hill, and their leader was none other than Transient Smoke and Clouds himself. He looked down on us from above while laughing. "Use Far Shot, Mountain Stagger Arrow and Shock Arrow to dismount Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ riders, people! Little Dance, we’re counting on you!"

God’s Dance nodded and shot him a confident smile. "Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you!"

Twang twang twang twang...

The sound of bow twangs entered our ears in rapid succession, and the next moment a hail of arrows were falling toward us from the sky. Most of them were Mountain Stagger Arrows because the enemy wanted to delete our mount tenacity as soon as possible. This wasn’t really a problem to me because I had two Immortal-grade pieces of equipment, but the same couldn’t be said for the others.

Bang bang bang!

Countless arrows exploded across our torsos. Gui Guzi, Li Chengfeng and everyone else was slowed down even more than they already were. The good news was Mountain Stagger Arrow was very weak against players and didn’t do too much damage.

It was at this moment God’s Dance sneered and raised her scepter into the air. "Echelon One, freeze them with Arctic Rain. Echelon Two, damage them with Explosion Spells and Fire Dragon Spells. Echelon Three, give me all the Galaxy Storms you have! Show them what it means to burn in a freezing hell!"

There was an oppressive surge of magical energy, and the entire valley entrance fell as silent as the dead. Then, countless Arctic Rains, Fire Dragon Spells, Galaxy Storms and more erupted from the mages and enveloped the entire perimeter. It was terrifying to say the least!

Boom boom boom!

My HP kept decreasing, so I hurriedly drank a Saint Spirit Potion to recover myself. Not far away from me, several Dragonlight Cavalrymen failed to withstand the magical bombardment and fell off their horses, dead. God dammit, God’s Dance and her party’s Magic Attack was just too much for us. Mage Soul drastically increased Magic Attack, and in this scenario it was super effective against heavy-armor classes like us!

"God damn, how are they so powerful..."

Li Chengfeng dismounted, activated Battle Soul Possession and Great Earth Transformation, and cut down four archers with a horizontal sweep of his spear. Gui Guzi, Chaos Moon and the others also followed his example. It was the right thing to do because it was actually faster to run on foot than to ride a mount on terrain like this.

"Ahhhh..."

Dozen more Dragonlight Cavalrymen dropped dead, and they were all elites among the elites who had been empowered by Knight God. I was heartbroken because I was hoping to deploy them in the upcoming siege of White Horse City, not lose them to my own countrymen.

I also dismounted and desummoned the Armored Ice Qilin Horse. Beiming Xue leaped out of my lap, darted into the nearest forest and started killing the enemies with accurate shots.

Thud thud thud...

I ran toward the mages at top speed and fired Thousand Ice Slash toward the valley entrance, freezing an entire group of mages. Then, I killed them all with Burning Blade Slash and used 5 Ancient Seals in a row. All Candle Dragon players within 100 yards were hit by the Divine General Skill.

Almost a hundred archers and mages were killed just like that. Someone among Candle Dragon shouted, "Fuck, what do we do?? Divine Generals are too powerful, and none of us can stop Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!"

God’s Dance immediately cried, "Use... use that! Hmph, no matter how strong Lu Chen is, he only has so much Divine Energy Points, so just forget about him and focus down their strongest knights! All mages, fire!"

A hundred mages immediately obeyed her order and threw their Galaxy Storms at the craggy terrain, killing droves of Dragonlight Cavalry. Even our two little knightresses, Diamond Dust and Heaven’s Rain, were forced to escape with only a sliver of HP left.

"Protect Diamond Dust and Heaven’s Rain..."

Chaos Moon charged forward and hit a row of players with Rock Crush, but she failed to kill even a single person. Their Magic Shields were so strong that not even Chaos Moon could pierce them immediately.

"Dragon’s Roar!"

God’s Dance ordered with steely eyes, and a group of mages aimed their scepters at Chaos Moon. The bombardment nearly one-shot the warrioress, and she barely escaped with 5% HP left. All blood drained away from her face as she whined, "OMG, how are they so powerful..."

Li Chengfeng was the next person to attempt a forced attack. He leaped into the air, surrounded himself with draconic images and shouted, "Dragonblade Revolution! Die!"

The AoE skill killed almost a hundred mages, but Candle Dragon was swift to replenish their numbers.

God’s Dance was paying close attention to the battlefield, and she barked out another order without hesitation, "Focus Legendary Brave! Use your strongest skill to kill him!"

Again, the world roared with the sounds of wind blades, fiery explosions and many more special magic spells. It looked like we had severely underestimated the power of Candle Dragon’s mage party.

"Holy fuck!"

Li Chengfeng screamed like a girl as he fell on the ground and was knocked left and right by all the magical spells that were flying his way. He scrambled for safety as his HP fell to 20% in just the blink of an eye.

......

"Save Li Chengfeng!"

I hurriedly ran forward and made the Phantom Wolf King use Purgatory Storm. At the same time, I launched my Thousand Ice Slash, Burning Blade Slash and another 7 Ancient Seals in a row. I was literally going all out to save Li Chengfeng’s life.

It was at this moment Beiming Xue emerged from the edges of the forest. She raised her bow and unleashed Well of the Abyss!

Boom!

The space at a small area of the valley entrance distorted, and the Well of the Abyss dragged countless mages and archers into an infinite hole. Beiming Xue truly was a reliable lass. She had single-handedly reduced the firepower coming my way by 30% or more.

Bang bang bang...

Even with my ridiculous Magic Resist, the Dragon’s Roars hitting my Heaven-burning Armor non-stop still decreased my HP like crazy. By the time Li Chengfeng, Diamond Dust, Heaven’s Rain and everyone else had finally withdrawn to safety, my HP had dropped to just 4%. It was so close that I had broken out in cold sweat.

Wordless and temporarily stumped, we could only stare at the Candle Dragon mages hiding behind the forest surrounding the valley entrance for a time.

......

Meanwhile, Transient Smoke and Clouds was standing beneath a birch tree and laughing arrogantly at us. "What’s wrong? Where’s all that gallantry from before? Hahaha! See, I knew that you cripples wouldn’t be able to face up to reality! No matter how powerful your fighters are, a guild without good mages is nothing but a trash guild! To think that you fools actually believe yourselves to be the greatest guild in the world, pooh! You are nothing! In the end, it falls on us to carry China’s banner, hahahaha..."

Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi and many more people ground their teeth hard enough to break them. They raised their weapons and growled menacingly, "That shameless fucker! I’ll kill him!"

I hurriedly stopped them and said, "Calm down! Don’t you see that Transient Smoke and Clouds is just trying to bait you? If you fall for his provocations you’ll be taken out by their magic! We can’t just throw ourselves into the line of fire when we’re clearly at a disadvantage!"

It was at this moment I heard a ringing sound behind me. Lin Yixin had finally arrived, and the girl was frowning a little and declaring angrily, "Candle Dragon is so shameless today. Purple Marquis, gather our people and prepare for a forced charge. We will occupy the valley entrance in one go!"

Suddenly, a long. Terrifying howl broke out from the front, and a group of Candle Dragon mages suddenly dropped to a column of fire. Then, a gigantic, colorful python that looked a little like a dragon slithered out of the valley entrance with Candlelight Shadow, Blue Sky Scar following closely behind. The creature was clearly the Immortal Rank boss, and for some reason, Candle Dragon had lost the aggro on it.

"What the fuck, dude! Hold the boss!" Transient Smoke and Clouds shouted.

A pale-faced Candlelight Shadow replied, "Watch your back! The Northern Alliance is attacking us like crazy! They have a ridiculously powerful female mage with them!"

"What?!"

Countless wind blades sliced and diced into Transient Smoke and Clouds’ back before he could react, and Candle Dragon’s number one archer died just like that!

It was a powerful offensive skill, Dimensional Storm!

......

Creak creak...

A pair of dancing shoes emerged from behind the valley entrance. It was a short female mage wearing a blue mage robe and wielding a ridiculously long scepter. A black cloak flowed down her back, and her face was obscured by the hood, but it was obvious that she was very angry. She muttered, "How dare you bastards take my boss. You are so dead..."

She was followed by dozens of fearsome-looking Northern Alliance players. Their impressive entrance caused everyone to tense up.

For a time, no one even looked at the boss. The female mage was that menacing.

Warsky was the first to react. He ordered, "Heavens, Lin Bing Dou Zhe, Hundred Battler, go get her. Little Rain, support them from range, will you?"

"Mn!"

They accepted his order and rushed toward the female mage. Laughing At The Heavens took point while Lin Bing Dou Zhe followed closely behind him.

That wasn’t all. Candlelight Shadow turned around and ordered, "Blue Sky Scar, Tempest Shadow, Tiger Leopard Knight, go help them! That woman isn’t someone the likes of Warsky Alliance can handle!"

"Understood!"

The generals accepted their orders and charged the female mage with dozens of high-level players as well.

Lin Yixin and I exchanged a look of astonishment with each other. Just how strong was this mage that Candlelight Shadow himself would claim that Warsky Alliance’s best experts were no match for her?

......

Almost a hundred Chinese elites charged the female mage at once. It should’ve been a terrifying sight for anyone who wasn’t their ally!

"Hehe..."

However, the female mage simply smiled, waved her scepter and surrounded herself in a cocoon of light. It looked like she was creating something. The next moment, a dozen or so balls of light descended in front of her enemies and erupted into octagonal force fields. The inside of the force fields was completely empty, and no one could pass through them. They were as tough as Iron Walls.

Bang bang bang!

Laughing At The Heavens, Lin Bing Dou Zhe and many more people slammed face first into the force fields and hurt themselves. They were like tiny, impassable hills that they could only walk around.

"What the fuck, Origin Force Field? What is this? I didn’t know a skill like this exists..." Blue Sky Scar groaned.

The attackers started circling around the force fields, but the mage chuckled again and trapped them all inside some sort of black light. Their movement speed suddenly dropped drastically.

The combat log marked it as “Gravity Trap”. It slowed everyone inside by 75%!

At this point, even I was starting to lose a bit of composure.

"Here I come!"

Lin Bing Dou Zhe was the first person to get close to the mage. He swung his sword at her, and the rest of the warriors worked with him by using their Barrier Breaks. If the attacks landed, she would be instakilled for sure!

......

Thud thud thud...

The short mage took a few steps backward and waved her scepter again. The air around her immediately began freezing, and many complicated-looking runes and matrices appeared on the ground. A moment later, countless spiraling ice blades hit the attackers and killed all of them. Lin Bing Dou Zhe was the only one who survived, but even he only had 10% left in his health pool. His face was drained of all blood as he withdrew.

"Motherfucker! This is unacceptable!"

Unable to stand this any longer, Warsky charged forward to meet the mage. After he zigzagged around the Origin Force Fields, he closed the distance between himself and the mage and executed Flowing Light Slash + Cyan Tiger Shatter combo!

The mage looked surprised. She clearly wasn’t expecting Warsky to move as quickly as he did. While her Magic Shield ate both attacks and distorted a little, she retreated and dumped an Origin Force Field right where Warsky was. The spell knocked him back several yards and threw his form and movement into complete disarray.

Dimensional Storm!

Ice Spiral Matrix!

The mage respected the threat Warsky represented and rewarded him with two huge AoE spells. His HP hit rock bottom, and he was forced to retreat just like that. He uttered in shame and humiliation, "Fuck..."

......

Chiang!

Lin Yixin pulled out her sword and declared frigidly, "I can’t hold back any longer..."

Neither could I. In fact, I had acted before her and took off toward the mage first. My sword was crossed in a way where I could use Burning Blade Slash or Barrier Break at the shortest notice. She would die if she got hit even once by my skills!

Swhoosh!

I reached the mage and used Burning Blade Slash. But to my surprise, she actually managed to parry the first two hits and tanked the last hit with her Magic Shield. Her shield was also special and was called "Telekinetic Shield", which most likely meant that it would be sturdier than normal Magic Shields. In fact, the last hit of my Burning Blade Slash only managed to delete 35% of its durability.

Swhoosh!

I didn’t pause to admire her skillfulness. The Cyan Netherworld Sword glowing with the light of Universe Break, I declared in a steely voice, "Die!"

Everyone held their breaths at the critical moment. Gui Guzi’s mouth fell open unconsciously as he murmured, "Do it, Boss Broken Halberd. Kill her..."

......

Thud!

However, the female mage grabbed the blade of my sword with her small, delicate hands and stopped me. At the same time, a sweet voice entered my ears, "It’s me, Lu Chen..."

She pulled down her hood. A young but attractive face appeared before my eyes.
