I sucked in a deep breath and activated Charge. My target was the only mage who did not activate his Magic Shield. The other readers looked at me normally.
Whoosh!
I reached them in an instant and swung my sword. A basic attack instantly killed one!
I turned around and used Thousand Mirage Slash!
Boom!
The three Mages were enveloped by Thousand Mirage Slash at the same time, causing three "Misses" to pop up. Thousand Mirage Slash was completely nullified, but it wasn't completely useless. The three Mages' Magic Shields had all been worn down by Thousand Mirage Slash.
I quickly chased after them. The three mages had shocked expressions. Before they could react, they saw the Ghost Ice Soul coming down with a frightening sharpness!
Slayer Slash!
Ice Ray!
“1203！”
“2304！”
He had even managed to land a critical strike. Too awesome!
After killing three mages, Beiming Xue's Devil Piercing Arrow flew and nailed the fourth mage to the railing of the arena. The other readers looked at me normally.
Du Thirteen and Mamate's eyes were bloodshot. They shouted for Gui Guzi and tore the fifth mage to pieces!
1: 0. We took the first win!
Gui Guzi was teleported into the battlefield again. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said with a smile, "That scared the hell out of me. The magic attack of this bunch of corn is so strong. Damn, that Ice Dragon Howl is too scary. It took almost 3000 of my HP in an instant. How terrifying!"
I smiled. "Fortunately, we won!"
Gui Guzi nodded. "Uh, Boss Broken Halberd's attacks and mechanics are too sharp. Haha, if you weren't here, the four of us would have lost!"
I shook my head and smiled. "This kind of battle requires everyone to work together. One or two people are useless.
But, Little Gui, how much Magic Resist do you have? Why did Ice Dragon Howl take so much of your HP? Isn't it too useless? "
Gui Guzi was slightly embarrassed. "I'm ashamed to say it, only 90 Magic Resist. What about you, Boss Broken Halberd?"
I glanced and said, "228 Magic Resist. With Ghost Deity Armor, which increases Defense and Magic Resist by 18%, my Magic Resist should be 269.04."
"Wow ~ ~" Beiming Xue's mouth fell open. "Boss's mental arithmetic skills are so strong ~ ~"
I put the calculator back into the interface without batting an eyelid. I smiled and said, "Just kidding, I was a good student every year in elementary school!"
Beiming Xue's eyes were misty and filled with admiration. Mamate and Du Thirteen swallowed hard. This girl looked so pure and cute …
At this time, a few white lights flashed, and the Five Sorcerers descended once again. The second round was about to begin!
I gripped my longsword tightly and said, "If we win one more match, we'll enter the top 16. Everyone else, don't worry!"
"Mn!" Everyone nodded heavily. Gui Guzi asked, "How should we play this round?
If I'm not mistaken, they've already made adjustments. Boss Broken Halberd might not succeed if you use Charge again. Once the enemy has a Magic Shield, your Charge won't stun them, and it'll be hard to kill even one of them. Moreover, they'll be on guard against you. "
I looked at him approvingly. This kid had learned to think. Maybe he would grow into a tactical genius in the future.
"This time, I'll be the bait, Gui Guzi will charge, Lil Beiming Xue will use Volley to break one or two mages' Magic Shields, and Gui Guzi will take the chance to kill them!"
"How are you going to be the bait?" Beiming Xue looked at me.
I rubbed my chin and said with a smile, "Just watch, I have a plan!"
Du Thirteen glared at me. "Ignorant Zhuge?"
"Scram!"
… …
In the blink of an eye, the system started the countdown. The second round was about to begin.
I quickly pulled out the positioning system in the system tool and locked onto the positions of the five mages. Then, I entered the distance of 40 yards. With a "hua" sound, a circular area appeared with the five mages at the center, forming a blood-red color on the map. That represented their attack range.
"Kill!"
I abruptly unsheathed my sword and charged, commanding my Dark Wasp to attack. The other people in the party also released their Wasps. The enemy's pets were a mess, wild pheasants, praying mantises, wasps, purple butterflies, and so on. It was like a circus!
Seeing me charge, One Corn smiled. "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, you're courting death!"
Ice Dragon Howl. Fans also liked to read it:!
The five mages chanted together. This was the signature skill of a third-promotion mage, and it was very domineering. Even the sky above their heads changed color!
However, the situation suddenly changed. I only stepped forward a few yards, and then did a beautiful turn and speed. I cut along the circular area on the map, smoothly escaping the enemy's attack range. Theoretically speaking, if the target left the attack range while a mage was casting a spell, then the target's chance of missing the spell would greatly increase!
In the sky, five Ice Dragons charged at me, their auras vast and mighty!
Boom boom boom!
“MISS！”
“MISS！”
“563！”
“MISS！”
“497！”
I missed three Ice Dragon Howls in a row. My Magic Resist was much stronger than Gui Guzi's. For a moment, the five enemy mages' mouths fell open. "Damn, you can do that?"
Beiming Xue's mouth also fell open. "Boss, so … so strong ~ ~"
I smiled. "You have to use the system tool well..."
"..."
Gui Guzi had already dashed forward. The enemy's Ice Dragon Howl was a skill with a long cooldown. It would need at least 10 seconds to cool down. These 10 seconds would be hell for them. These mages definitely wouldn't be able to kill Gui Guzi with his Undying Shield alone!
"Mamate, heal Little Gui, don't worry about me!"
I took out a health potion and used Charge again. In reality, Mamate knew his priorities and did not prepare to heal me at all.
"Gulp!"
A large health potion later, my HP was almost full!
Beiming Xue swung her bow after a round of Volley. As expected, she broke the Shields of two enemy mages. Gui Guzi rushed forward and stabbed with his spear, instantly killing one person with Undying Combo. My pet Dark Wasp also rushed forward and stabbed the other shieldless mage to death with Flurry.
Swhoosh!
I rushed in front of the third mage and used Pardon. Desperate Gambit fell like lightning!
“MISS！”
“1209！”
Very good, the fierce Desperate Gambit broke the durability of the Magic Shield and dealt 1209 damage. At this stage of the game, mages did not have more than 1000 HP, so it was undoubtedly an instant kill!
Thud thud thud...
The opponent's Praying Mantis and Wasp attacked Gui Guzi randomly, but Gui Guzi's physical defense wasn't bad. His body flashed with holy light, and Mamate kept healing him. In the end, even the pets couldn't do anything to him.
Crack crack!
Two swords flew, and the kill was complete!
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, your party [Bloody Mercenaries] has successfully entered the Top 16!
… …
Ding ~!
System Announcement: Congratulations, [Bloody Mercenaries] has successfully entered the Top 16 of Floating Ice City's Who Will Fight Me.
… …
It even gave us a chance to make a system announcement. Bloody Mercenaries is the first team to make it to the Top 16. That's amazing. This system announcement is basically free publicity for us. Heavenblessed is so considerate!
A few seconds later, system announcements came. The popular guilds had entered the Top 16 — System Announcement: Congratulations, [Peach Garden] has successfully entered the Top 16 of Floating Ice City's Who Will Fight Me!
System Announcement: Congratulations, [Gods of Destruction] has successfully entered the Top 16 of Floating Ice City's Who Will Fight Me!
System Announcement: Congratulations, [Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls] has successfully entered the Top 16 of Floating Ice City's Who Will Fight Me!
System Announcement: Congratulations, [Snowy Cathaya] has successfully entered the Top 16 of Floating Ice City's Who Will Fight Me!
… …
I muttered inwardly, "Beauty Lin is not good. She was the fifth to enter the Top 16. Did she encounter a strong team?"
I looked at the match record. Lin Yixin's last opponent was mediocre, but they lasted so long. Really...
Ding ~!
System Notice: Your team has entered the Top 16. Do you want to immediately enter the arena and wait for the Top 16 to begin?
Confirm!
There was a flash of magical light, and I was teleported to another arena. It was the largest arena in Floating Ice City. There was a solemn arena at the center, and it was surrounded by spectators. There weren't many people there yet, but the Top 16 teams soon began to appear.
Everyone appeared below the stage. In reality, they could communicate with each other. Then, there would be teams sparring on the stage in a single-elimination format until the champion of Floating Ice City was decided. The other book friends watched normally:!
Swhoosh swhoosh!
Beiming Xue and Gui Guzi appeared not far away and immediately ran toward me.
On the other side, the figure of a female priest appeared. It was Murong Mingyue. Beside her was a female knight player. It was He Yi!
As a participating team, once they entered the Top 16, they could choose one to three players to be their support group. In reality, it was like giving three free tickets to watch the battle. He Yi probably came in this way. But right now, she should be in India, right?
It wasn't easy for her to log in at this time.
I looked in the direction of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and fell into deep thought.
At this time, a sweet voice came from behind me. "Hello, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!"
I turned around and was surprised to see a beautiful female knight standing behind me. She was decked out in decent equipment and wielded a longsword. She smiled at me and said, "Hello, I am the guild leader of Soul Battle Robes, Song of Cloud and Water. Would you like to join Soul Battle Robes?
I promise that I will make Soul Battle Robes a Top 10 super guild in the country! "
She's a pimp?
What a waste of such a beautiful face.
I turned to the other side and saw Lin Yixin. I walked over with a smile. "Beauty Lin, you also advanced?"
Behind me, Song of Cloud and Water almost turned to stone. She said in shock, "Fuck, you … you're ignoring me?"
I wasn't ignoring her, I just didn't want to have anything to do with her. I had heard of Soul Battle Robes before. The guild leader used to be Seven-Star Lamp and a CGL Hall of Famer, but he had retired. Soul Battle Robes' reputation wasn't very good. Back in the day, they fought to the death with Frivolous Scholar's Snow Moon guild and dragged it out for millions of words. A guild like this had long since become infamous. You want me to join Soul Battle Robes? Keep dreaming!
