Chapter 1286: The Crafty Boundless Ocean
“Pull a stunt?” All Encompa.s.sing smiled and said, “Boss, you are overestimating them. They do not even dare to come up the mountain, much less pull a stunt in front of us.”
“I don’t know!” Boundless Ocean frowned and said, “Even though I can’t figure out what is wrong, I can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong.”
“Look, they’re coming up now!!”
Just when Boundless Ocean was feeling conflicted, Omnidirectional pointed towards the group below the mountain and excitedly cried out.
Omnidirectional’s cry completely resolved any remaining doubts in Boundless Ocean’s heart. He hurriedly turned over to look towards the bottom of the mountain, only to see w.a.n.g Yu, Crotch Lord and Evil Rampage forming a line and walking up the mountain path.
w.a.n.g Yu and his brother both had huge figures, while Crotch Lord was holding onto an extremely large s.h.i.+eld. Looking at them from the top of the mountain, it was hard to tell if there was anyone behind them.
w.a.n.g Yu’s and Evil Rampage’s strengths were known to everyone, thus the moment Boundless Ocean saw the both of them in the front lines, he was shocked in his heart, before hurriedly giving out the order, “Everyone, be careful. The two Pugilists at the front aren’t easy to deal with. Do not let them climb up the mountain at all cost.”
“En!”
Omnidirectional nodded his head before tightening the grip around his s.h.i.+eld. When the rest of them received the order, they all focused their gaze on w.a.n.g Yu’s group and aimed their weapons in their direction, preparing to attack.
The distance between the summit of the mountain and the bottom wasn’t very large, and was merely a few tens of metres in distance. Shortly after, the trio had already walked into the attack range of the Archers.
Nine Deities Arrow and the rest of the Archers immediately nocked their arrows and aimed towards w.a.n.g Yu and the other two, before unleas.h.i.+ng [Multishot] at them.
The number of AOE abilities that an Archer possessed weren’t many. Apart from [Rain of Arrows], the only other ability was [Multishot].
The difference between the two was that even though [Rain of Arrows] could allow the Archer to fire tens of arrows at the same time, the damage done was relatively low and the attack range was more focused. Additionally, the arrows would descend from the sky. Thus, as long as the target increases his speed and walked forward a few steps, he would easily be able to dodge the ability.
On the other hand, [Multishot] only allowed the Archer to shoot out five arrows at one time. However, the damage was high and it also dealt Magic Damage to the target. Thus, it was very suitable to be used in this case.
“Swoosh swoosh swoos.h.!.+”
The mountain path was very narrow. With three [Multishot]s being cast, a row of fifteen arrows flew towards w.a.n.g Yu and the rest.
In the face of the oncoming arrows, the three of them did not slow down in the least.
Crotch Lord promptly raised the s.h.i.+eld in his hand.
“Dang, dang, dang!”
A few arrows collided against Crotch Lord’s s.h.i.+eld and were easily blocked.
w.a.n.g Yu took out a long sword, and with the flick of his wrists, the arrows that were flying towards him were deflected to the ground.
Evil Rampage was even more direct. With both hands, he grabbed the arrows flying towards him, before cracking them into two and throwing them onto the ground.
“…”
Nine Deities Arrow knew how overbearing w.a.n.g Yu and Evil Rampage were, thus he wasn’t hoping for the [Multishot]s to manage to injure them. The purpose of casting that ability was to prevent the three of them from moving forward and keeping them a safe distance away but still within his attack range.
Who would have thought that the attacks from the three of them were completely ineffective at all…
It was fine for Crotch Lord, seeing that he was a Guardian and it was naturally easy for the Tanks to defend against Archers. However, the two Pugilists, on the other hand, used their hands and weapons to defend against the arrows, an attack unleashed by top-tier experts. This was overpowered to the point of being considered as cheating in the game.
Archers did not possess any control abilities. Thus, hoping to restrict the movements of the opponent by firing a few arrows was rather impractical, much less when the opponents were people like w.a.n.g Yu.
If even [Multishot] was ineffective, there was less of a need to speak about the other abilities.
In the blink of an eye, w.a.n.g Yu and the other two had entered the attack range of the Magicians as well.
After entering the attack range of the Magicians, the attacks that they would receive would be on another level as compared to the drizzle of arrows that they faced previously.
Even though a Magician did not have as many control abilities as a Shaman, the countless combinations of control abilities from Ice Magic could easily impede the movements of the opponent.
Even if Crotch Lod was a Guardian, if the enemy’s abilities were to appear from the ground, he would be unable to defend against it.
“Ice Road!”
Upon seeing w.a.n.g Yu’s trio entering his own attack range, Boundless Ocean pointed his staff towards the ground and cried out. Shortly after, the ground underneath them became frozen and formed an ice path.
“Dragon Tornado!!”
“Fire Wall!!”
Just when Boundless Ocean’s [Ice Path] reached underneath the feet of the trio, Innocent Playmate and the other Magician promptly cast their abilities as well.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
A layer of fire wall appeared in front of the trio, followed by a green coloured dragon tornado rising within the flames.
[Fire Wall] and [Dragon Tornado] were considered middle-cla.s.s abilities and weren’t considered too powerful. However, if both abilities were to be cast at the same time, it would result in the combination of them both, resulting in the Dragon Tornado sweeping up the flames from the Fire Wall.
After borrowing the might of the flames, the Dragon Tornado reached a new height, directly sealing off the entire pathway and spun towards w.a.n.g Yu’s group at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.
“F*ck, it’s actually a combined ability, Raging Flame Storm!”
Upon seeing this Magic, the audience cried out in excitement.
What was known as a Combined Ability, was when two players cast two specific abilities that could complement each other, resulting in a drastic increase in the damage and effect of these abilities by forming a completely new one.
In <>, so long as the attributes of the abilities could complement each other, they would be able to join together miraculously, forming a new Combined Ability that possessed an even greater might.
However, these Combined Abilities weren’t orthodox under the system, and were produced after numerous trial and errors done by the players. Even though the might of the ability would be multiplied, the requirements on the players’ cooperation were extremely high.
The casting duration and magic strength of both abilities must be carefully controlled. If both players did not have enough chemistry, it would easily result in the abilities weakening instead of strengthening.
In a PVP battle, even if both players had extremely great chemistry, they would still require some time to form the Combined Ability. No opponent would be foolish enough to stand idly by as the latter merged their abilities together. Thus, this ability wasn’t practical in a PVP setting.
However, now that Kyushu Squad had the higher ground and were on the defense, the Magicians did not have to worry about such a problem and only had to maximise their damage output.
Innocent Playmate’s was one of the top few players within the team and her magic damage output was significantly higher than Ming Du’s. Now that she had combined his ability with another Magician, the might of this ability was unfathomable.
Even if it was a Tank like Crotch Lord, if he were to collide with the ability head-on, he would have to lose a layer of skin as a result.
Upon seeing the incoming ability, both w.a.n.g Yu and Evil Rampage each held onto one of Crotch Lord’s shoulders, before casting [Savage Maul]. Following which, both of them leapt backwards, dragging Crotch Lord out of the attack range of [Raging Flame Storm].
“Ice Cage!”
At this moment, Boundless Ocean waved his staff. Shortly after, numerous ice pillars erupted from the ground surrounding w.a.n.g Yu’s trio. At the same time, everyone else’s attacks were directed towards them as well.
This Boundless Ocean was truly a sinister and crafty person, the [Raging Flame Storm] previously was merely a diversion to lure w.a.n.g Yu’s trio into his cage.
Thankfully for w.a.n.g Yu’s G.o.dly reactions, upon seeing the ice pillars rising from the ground, he instantly rolled forward on the ground without a second thought and appeared in front of Crotch Lord and Evil Rampage. Following which, he pressed both of his hands on the ground and cast [Thunder G.o.d’s Stomp], using both his legs to hit the two of them in the chest.
