Chapter 233 Sacred Fire
Line Canyon Entrance. One of them was inside the canyon, the other was outside. Ye Xius Lord Grim and Zhang Xinjies Endless Night saw each other at the same exact time.
Ye Xiu recognized this ID, but his stance gave him an unusual feeling.
In any case, he had already been found, so he sent Endless Night a message: Whos there?
The real Endless Night behind Zhang Xinjie saw Lord Grims message and immediately felt that Lord Grim really was very arrogant.
You wont be leaving. Zhang Xinjie quickly replied. It was so quick that it looked like a blur to Endless Night. When he finished reading it, he saw that Lord Grim had already replied back: Oh? Is there an ambush out there?
Another flash and Zhang Xinjie sent another one: Yeah.
How many?
Six.
Jiang You and the others were all ready to battle. How were they supposed to know that the two were actually chatting with each other. Only Endless Night, who was standing behind Zhang Xinjie, watched in disbelief.
They chat so fast! Endless Night gasped in amazement. From Zhang Xinjies screen, he saw Lord Grim calmly running up the slope, while looking left and right from time to time around the canyon.
Your positioning isnt bad! Zhang Xinjie received another message from Lord Grim.
Ha ha. If youre done looking, youd better be careful! Zhang Xinjie replied.
Coming. Lord Grim replied. He suddenly sped up and his character sprinted up the slope, making the spectating Endless Nights heart jump. Seeing that Lord Grim was coming, Jiang You and the Striker nervously glanced at Zhang Xinjie.
Zhang Xinjie was as calm as ever and focused on the screen in front of him.
Close. Hes getting closer and closer.......
Jiang Yous hands were trembling. He wanted to start attacking, but with Zhang Xinjie there, he was too afraid to start anything and could only wait for Zhang Xinjies instructions. However, Zhang Xinjie still hadnt said anything.
Were still not going to attack? From our current positions, I should be the first to attack, no? Or maybe my thought process is too simple and Vice-captain Zhang thinks that I shouldnt require instructions and is waiting for me to make a move?
Countless thoughts revolved around in Jiang Yous head. He once again glanced at Zhang Xinjie and saw his lips suddenly move.
Mage! A voice resounded through his headphones.
Hm? Jiang You stared blankly for awhile before he understood that Zhang Xinjie was giving him a command. He immediately turned his head back and began to act. Theres no need to think so much.
His play making was still good though. Flame Explosion and Frost Ball rolled down the mountain along with a Raging Flames that was ready to be unleashed at any moment.
Jiang You controlled his spells well. Flame Explosion and Frost Ball didnt shoot forward in a straight line. The two spells flew one after the other at different angles. But when Lord Grim met with the Flame Explosion, he suddenly changed directions and then switched back, avoiding both spells without losing much speed.
F*ck! Endless Night cried out. There were many ways of dodging Jiang Yous two spells, but Lord Grim had used the quickest and most dangerous method. It had to be known that the Line Canyon exit was a slope, which affected a characters move speed. Successfully using a Z Shake in this type of terrain wasnt easy.
The results from his difficult maneuver were astonishing. Lord Grim had barely slowed down from these two spells and instantly lessened quite a bit of distance between them. Jiang You hadnt expected this, so his Raging Flames was thrown in the wrong direction and landed behind Lord Grim.
Gunner! Zhang Xinjies voice resonated. The Sharpshooter immediately lifted his gun and shot a round at Lord Grim.
Lord Grim rolled and the bullet landed besides him, creating several sparks. He then rolled another three times to a spot below the cliff and escaped from the Sharpshooters line of sight. The Sharpshooter stepped forward and jumped off the cliff. He turned his body midair and was about to shoot again, when suddenly he heard a warning: Careful.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh........ By the time the Sharpshooter noticed these three sounds, it was already too late. Three Shurikens hit his body making his character lose balance as he flew out.
Ninja skill, Ninja Tool: Shuriken.
After knocking away the Sharpshooter, Lord Grim immediately leaped towards that direction. As soon as his head was exposed, the Striker appeared and welcomed him with a Dashing Jab.
Zhang Xinjie gave directions with both shouts and through messages. The Striker had received the message long ago to follow the Sharpshooter and to guard this direction.
The sudden punch hit its target and sent Lord Grim back into the Canyon.
Yes! The Striker roared, cleansing him of yesterdays sorrows. His character rushed forward and jumped to follow up with an Eagle Stamp.
Yes, my ass! His Eagle Stamp hadnt connected, when Lord Grim poofed and disappeared, turning into a cloud of smoke.
How could the Striker not know that this was the Ninja skill: Shadow Clone Technique? But in order to use this technique, you had to set up where the real body and fake body would be. Determining the direction and the distance as well as using it was quite complicated. How could he have done it in such a short amount of time?
The Striker hastily turned to look behind him. He saw Lord Grims real body standing on the cliff where he had been guarding. His hands were raised and pointed towards him. A chaotic black energy ball floated beside him which then rotated and formed a few black arrows that shot at him.
Warlock skill: Curse Arrow.
The Striker had nowhere to run. He had almost been shot by a barrage of Curse Arrows.
Warlocks, Assassins, Thieves, and Ninjas were all Night Walkers. Curse Arrow was a type of skill that could be charged to increase its power. The longer it was charged, the more arrows there would be. Lord Grim hadnt had time to charge, so he only shot a few arrows over and then went on his way.
But as soon as he turned his body, a sword light sliced towards him. Lord Grim immediately jumped, just barely dodging the Blade Masters Sword Draw.
At this moment, a storm of white flames rained down. Lord Grim had leapt up and had nowhere to dodge.
Everyone stared in awe and watched as the white flames continued to coil around Lord Grims body after he fell. Only then did they know that this time, they had successfully hit Lord Grim. The one who had done this attack was Zhang Xinjie using the Level 30 Cleric skill, Sacred Fire. Clerics werent a class that only healed.
Sacred Fire was a DoT skill, which lasted 5 seconds. The damage decreased with every second and after being cast, it didnt matter whether it hit the target or not since it would continue to burn in the place it landed for 5 seconds. In those 5 seconds, if the target bumped into it, the skills full effects would take place. But the damage wasnt the scariest part about Sacred Fire.
The scariest part about Sacred Fire was its 3 seconds Silence. Characters that were hit by Sacred Fire wouldnt be able to use any skills for 3 seconds.
Priests and Night Walkers couldnt compare to Mages, Fighters, or even Swordsman and Gunners in their ability to kill, but they had many CC skills.
Being unable to use skills was an extremely bad situation for Ye Xiu. Even worse, after Zhang Xinjie used Sacred Fire, the other Cleric also moved up to use it as well. Under Zhang Xinjies lead, Clerics werent the backline, but the main force in controlling the field.
The Cross in the Clerics hands glowed white. Ye Xiu knew the skill was coming, but didnt randomly jump around. He didnt know where the Sacred Fire would be cast and if he was Silenced again, hed be in a hopeless situation.
Ye Xiu decided to jump off the cliff. He immediately adjusted his camera and looked around him. When he looked down, he saw Crowd Lovers staff pointing up......
A column of flame erupted and Lord Grim was instantly rooted in his position. Another Sacred Fire rained down once again.
