MMORPG: The Elementalist

Chapter 207: The Vice ‘Tiger Cub’ and Restless Slayer’s Heart

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Leave this fight to me! You all go and take care of the Aquamancer!”

Saga was both furious and annoyed after Camus was inflicted with Frozen. He promptly gave the order to the three remaining Elementalists behind him as he charged toward Slayer’s Heart.

He found it difficult to believe that a Level 40 Aquamancer could actually overwhelm the three Elementalists of his clan!

This is absurd!

He seemed to have abandoned his initial strategy now. In the beginning, he planned to focus all attacks by the two Field Commanders and the team’s main firepower to first crush the larger threat—Slayer’s Heart. Then, with their three Elementalist, he was certain that they would get the upper hand against the helpless Tier 4 Aquamancer ‘Qin Ruo’.

Unexpectedly, the Level 40 Aquamancer was extraordinarily good at Elementalism and had accurately grasped the situation. In contrast, Thunderslash that took the three Elementalists so long to cast was avoided by Slayer’s Heart effortlessly.

This was the first time Saga felt that the Elementalists by his side were a bunch of directionless flies being played a fool by Qin Ruo. He began to wonder why everyone regarded the three of them as elites...

However he was more baffled by the fact that the Aquamancer had successfully inflicted more than 400 damage on Camus despite his high Magic Defense and Resistance. Not only that, Camus was even forcefully frozen by his skill’s effect.

How powerful is Qin Ruo?!

Terrified, Saga finally decided to change their initial target from Slayer’s Heart to Qin Ruo.

However, he had apparently overestimated his own prowess. Without the snow blockade, Saga immediately understood what it meant by total submission under greater strength and technique once he fought head-on with Slayer’s Heart...

A melee fighter that was of Master tier! Such a combatant had a comprehensive understanding of the battle techniques, attack flow, and skill sequence of all Classes. To avoid their subsequent move from being interrupted, both of them had chosen to clash using the simplest battle technique.

The simplest technique actually referred to the regular attacks used by players without MP consumption. Its raw power relied entirely on the battle techniques derived by individuals based on their own understanding.

In such a clash, although a simple attack might not deal a great amount of damage, it could certainly interrupt an opponent’s attack flow and establish advantages in subsequent collisions.

In this aspect, Slayer’s Heart reigned supreme, compared to Saga.

By using Pazuzu’s Warhammer to his advantage, Slayer’s Heart had successfully launched his attack before Saga could. His hammer’s heavy swing first interrupted Saga’s attack, then he continued to land multiple strikes on Saga who was now shrieking in terror.

With one wrong move, the entire game was lost!

This was especially true for the battle between the elites. Once Slayer’s Heart’s first attack descended upon its target, the subsequent attacks were as fluent as a powerful stream of water rushing down the Yellow River. Each of his attacks were followed by a strong tremor, which constantly disrupted the power Saga attempted to charge and instantly crushed Saga’s confidence. The moment when Camus was freed from his frozen status, a dragon’s roar was heard ascending to the sky...

Rise!!!

Saga’s body was knocked high up by Pazuzu’s Warhammer engulfed in a glaring white ray that shone through the sky. After that, a Dark Gold Equipment and corpse simultaneously fell to the ground.

***

“That felt great!!!”

Killing Saga in a blink of an eye granted Slayer’s Heart an excitement that was greater than when he defeated him the previous time! During the first encounter, Saga was defeated unexpectedly because of the Movement Speed Potion and Advanced Vitality Potion which had Quality of 9 points. Defeating the opponent by relying on potions did not match Slayer Heart’s principles.

Today however...

Even though they were facing the elites of Twelve Zodiacs and two Field Commanders who were attacking them head-on at full force, Qin Ruo and he still managed to take Saga down easily.

This gave him a great sense of accomplishment as he could not help but develop the bloodlust of killing a target among many other enemies!

He let loose his emotion and gave out a jubilant and excited cry right in front of Camus that was about ten meters away. The humiliation that he suffered on the Mythical Battlefield for about a month ago seemed to be largely vented together with it as well.

***

Saga had fallen!

This sudden turn of events not only shook Camus that had just been released from the frozen debuff, but also the three Elementalists who had been instructed to chase after Qin Ruo.

From the beginning of the fight, the three Elementalists had successively realized the prowess of this Aquamancer despite his average level...

This recognition stemmed from Qin Ruo’s concentrated Frost Bullet that took out a Bowmaster and a warrior at the very beginning, to his mysterious disappearance right before their very own eyes with an untraceable stealth ability.

Not to mention his godly Elementalism and Perception technique that seemed to be present all over the place, which monitored their every single move. As Elementalists, they had of course learned about Elemental Perception before. Although they failed to recognize it at the beginning, they would not be worthy of the title as elite warriors of Twelve Zodiacs if they were still unable to figure it out after their brief encounter with Qin Ruo.

After that, Qin Ruo had displayed a terrifying Magic Attack and Effect that even stopped and dealt a significant amount of damage upon the supposed strongest defender of their clan—Field Commander Camus. Three of them were awestruck by the Aquamancer whose level was lower than theirs.

All things considered...

What was the ability that an Elementalist was most afraid of? It was neither the bulkiness nor the Fusion Blitz of a Berserker, nor the sharpness of a Swordmaster, nor the long-range threat of a Bowmaster. They were not even fearful of the Bandit’s Shieldbreaker skill or any other Class.

It was the stealth of a Bandit that petrified them the most.

What is the ability that an Elementalist coveted the most?

It was not the strongest Magic Attack as great power came with greater limitations.

It was also not a full set of legendary Dark Gold Equipment as these would be targeted by other players. Elementalists actually desired the Elemental Perception technique that would come by chance and not by force. The type of power that enabled one to control everything within their palm was what they hungered for, since it was the most practical and reliable tool!

What Qin Ruo possessed was basically the power that they feared yet yearned for the most. They were unable to obliterate such a powerful existence and thus it was inevitable for them to be awed by Qin Ruo.

***

Sadly, Qin Ruo had been progressing too quickly at the moment. He had only been practicing and mastering Elementalism for a brief amount of time, thus his understanding of the ability was only at surface level. If it was not because of his proficient basic Elementalism technique, it would be almost impossible for him to utilize this technique with such flexibility, what more withstanding a few elite-tier Elementalists simultaneously.

Yet speaking of confidence, Qin Ruo certainly had it!

Through the brief fight just now, he had largely comprehended the mobility of the three Elementalists as well as their tactic on dealing with the Frostramparts...

Once he saw that the three Elementalists ditched Saga and rushed toward him, he instantly activated Aquamorph and continuously brought more Frostramparts to the surrounding area.

The Frostramparts were controlled by him, shifting rapidly which confused the three Elementalists. They recklessly unfolded several Magic Scrolls in a vain attempt to stop Qin Ruo, before the heard the news about Saga’s fall...

At the same time, Camus roared, “Stay where you are!”

His howl immediately caught Qin Ruo’s attention. He shifted his sight and so happened to witness Gold Digger Babe reveal herself to grab an equipment and place it in her backpack at the side where Camus and Slayer’s Heart were positioned. He felt light-hearted.

“Well done!”

Before he could express more of his fervor, there was an abrupt turn of events!

Just as Gold Digger Babe withdrew not more than five meters, an ominous rainbow-colored light ray suddenly flashed before her eyes. She let out a squeal before involuntarily falling flat on her face... The blood of the teenage Bandit splattered all over Silentdeath Jungle. Such a scene made Slayer’s Heart and Qin Ruo shudder, who were just praising the brat’s impeccable timing not too long ago!

Brat!

What the heck is this...

Qin Ruo’s palm trembled in shock. His control over the Frostrampart was inevitably interrupted due to his disturbed mind. He looked on at the blurry, inhuman silhouette that appeared beside Gold Digger Babe’s corpse in dismay. His heart was now filled full with astonishment and disbelief!

Bandit?!

How is that possible?

Obviously, nothing entered my Elemental Perception zone, so how did he appear there... How did he do it?! How could a Bandit avoid my Water Perception and lurk in so deep right under my nose... and instant-kill that little brat?!

Qin Ruo took a deep breath and stared close on the blurry silhouette. It gradually took a human form and revealed its true identity—a Demon Faction player. This was the first time Qin Ruo looked grim after he advanced to Tier 4.

Who the hell is this person?!

***

Slayer’s Heart condition was way worse than Qin Ruo. Right at the moment Gold Digger Babe gained the equipment, the Steel Berserker Camus suddenly attacked Slayer’s Heart rapidly. He completely disregarded his defense and attacked recklessly, intending to perish together with Slayer’s Heart. This, accompanied by the appearance of the mysterious Bandit and instant-death of the little brat, somehow flustered Slayer’s Heart to fall back and even suffer a few blows.

Only when the silhouette completely emerged on the battlefield that Slayer’s Heart decided to hit back hard on Camus. With the impact of the clash, he broke free from Camus thanks to his superior speed.

“Tiger Cub!”

As soon as he regained his stance, he exposed the real identity of the troublemaker. His wide-open tiger-like irises were fixed steadily on the Bandit’s handsome looking face...

Qin Ruo that stayed hidden quietly among of the three Elementalists was startled by Slayer’s Heart response.

Slayer’s Heart knows this person? Wait... Tiger Cub?!

This name sounds familiar...

I think I’ve heard it somewhere before!

As Qin Ruo frowned and tried to recall where or who he heard that name from, Slayer’s Heart nervous tone urgently sounded through the party channel. “Qin Ruo! Leave this place immediately! Violet Orchid too, get everyone and leave, now!!!”

From Slayer’s Heart’s tone, Qin Ruo felt especially anxious for the first time...

This is extremely uncommon!
