Chapter 688 - 661: Delay by One Minute (Third Update)
With Huang Yi’s strength, it was tough to kill a Level 165 Guardian, but not with a Siege Crossbow!
The Siege Crossbow, this war machine, had immense killing power far beyond what a player’s Attack Power could compare, and right below were a few loaded with huge arrows that had not been fired yet!
As long as the angle was properly aimed, there was a great hope of killing that Level 165 Mage!
Thinking this, Huang Yi immediately snuck towards the Blood God, who was still killing on another street nearby, preparing to be that person who operated the Siege Crossbow. The distance between Blood God and him was very short; it would take less than a minute to reach there, and Huang Yi needed to buy a minute’s time!
"Swoosh!" Just then, the Level 165 Mage sent a second Fireball at Huang Yi!
This time, Little Dragon had learned from the last encounter and dodged with much more agility, narrowly avoiding the Fireball and not getting hit.
Seeing that, the Level 165 Guardian flew a little closer while her hands were conjuring a scorching flame, seemingly preparing a potent attack that was brimming with intimidating force.
"Flying Axe!" At this moment, Huang Yi decisively threw the Epic Bloody War Halberd in his hand at the Mage Guardian!
"Whoosh!" The Bloody War Halberd sped through the air, traveling at a hundred meters per second, moving so fast it was almost invisible!
The Mage Guardian reacted swiftly, and upon seeing this ferocious attack, she decisively used Blink, instantly moving to a place far in front of Huang Yi!
Her Blink was so sudden it caught everyone off guard, not only temporarily evading the Flying Axe but also closing the distance with Huang Yi, killing two birds with one stone!
And at this moment, the long-gestating Fireball in her hands came smashing down hard at Huang Yi!
With Little Dragon’s current strength, there was no hope of dodging this close-range attack!
"Body of Lightning and Thunder!" Huang Yi instantly used Thunder Left Hand’s attached skill—10 seconds of immunity to all Magic Attribute damage and turning his own attacks into Thunder Magic Attacks. If a close-range enemy hit him, they would be electrocuted and subjected to a 1-second Paralysis effect.
In an instant, a layer of flickering lightning covered his body, making him appear as if he were the Thunder God descending from the heavens!
"Crack!" Almost simultaneously, the Guardian Mage’s attack struck Huang Yi!
But her Spell attack was immediately immunized by Huang Yi’s Body of Lightning and Thunder! Not only that, since her attack wasn’t made with a Mage Staff, but with her fist, it counted as a close-range attack, and she got electrocuted, entering a 1-second Paralysis state!
Meanwhile, the Bloody War Halberd that Huang Yi had previously flung returned to him. The Flying Axe skill, having been reformed, could automatically track the enemy and would keep aiming at her!
"Thud!" The Bloody War Halberd struck the Mage Guardian’s back hard, inflicting damage equal to 30% of Huang Yi’s Attack Power and repelling her forward a considerable distance!
Huang Yi immediately caught the Bloody War Halberd and seized this excellent opportunity to counterattack. He had to attack while biding his time, waiting for the nearby Blood God to arrive.
At this moment, under the state of Body of Lightning and Thunder, his attacks would turn into Thunder Magic Attacks, equipped with a Paralysis effect. As soon as he grasped the Bloody War Halberd, the state of lightning on his body spread over to it, covering the Bloody War Halberd with a layer of lightning, crackling with electricity.
"Heavy Judgment!" Huang Yi stabbed fiercely at the Mage Guardian, his tripled overwhelming Attack Power, plus a 30% damage increase from the Critical Damage Rune, pouring into the Mage Guardian at once!
The Mage Guardian immediately suffered a huge attack! Although she was as high as Level 165, being a fragile Mage Class, faced with Huang Yi’s strong close-range Attack, she was dealt considerable damage all at once, and also fell into a Paralysis state, weakly slumped, unable to make any effective counterattack, and could only strive to dodge in the air.
"Heavy Judgment!"
"Heavy Judgment!"
Huang Yi was like a War God with his Bloody War Halberd constantly greeting the Mage Guardian’s body, keeping her continuously in the Paralysis state.
Just then, the Mage suddenly stopped moving, her body fixed in the air like a statue, yet she did not fall.
It turned out that Huang Yi’s attack had triggered an "Immobilize" effect!
A while ago, after he killed the Sand Thief King, he obtained a Legendary Ring called "Sand Thief King’s Dream." It was originally an Epic Ring but had been temporarily downgraded to Legendary, requiring Huang Yi to build an empire in the Desolate Sands before it could regain its Epic glory.
The Attribute Bonus of this ring was very special. It could put enemies into one of six different negative status effects: "Nightmare," "Immobilize," "Silence," "Slowdown," "Blinding," and "Bleeding," each lasting for 3 seconds, with chances ranging from 1% to 6%!
In other words, all the status effects combined had a 21% chance of occurring, averaging one negative status every five attacks.
Among them, Immobilize only had a 2% chance to occur. Huang Yi triggering it this time was incredibly lucky!
Over the next three seconds, he could deal damage freely!
Thus, Huang Yi’s powerful Attack Power was unleashed on the Mage Guardian over and over, draining her Health Points more and more!
But as soon as she could gather her strength, distance herself, and counterattack, it would be Huang Yi’s nightmare!
Soon, ten seconds passed, and the electric currents on Huang Yi’s body disappeared as if they had never been there, ending the state of Body of Lightning and Thunder, and his attacks would no longer have the Paralysis effect!
"Swift Judgement!" At this moment, Huang Yi immediately activated his Class Skill Swift Judgement, which increased his Attack Speed by 50% for 20 seconds!
With the increase in Attack Speed, he could strike more times per second, making the chances of triggering any of the six states from Sand Thief King’s Dream even higher!
The Mage Guardian was no longer paralyzed and rushed towards the distance, trying to temporarily distance herself from Huang Yi.
But just then, her steps became incredibly heavy, as if she was weighed down by sandbags, sluggish and unable to evade Huang Yi’s Attack Range!
It turned out that Huang Yi had inflicted a "slowdown" status with only a 4% chance of occurrence, reducing the Mage Guardian’s speed by 50% for 3 seconds!
During those three seconds, it was still Huang Yi’s prime time for attack!
He fiercely attacked the Mage Guardian, praying in his heart for new negative statuses to emerge! Only then could he keep the Mage Guardian bogged down!
Two seconds later, Huang Yi inflicted a new "blinding" status on the Mage Guardian, who immediately lost all vision for 3 seconds!
Without sight, the Mage hung in the air, enduring Huang Yi’s attacks while moving forward blindly.
On the third second, just as the blinding was about to end, Huang Yi finally inflicted another negative status—"bleeding." It was the most basic status from the Legendary Ring, with a 6% chance to cause it, making the enemy lose a total of 5% of Huang Yi’s maximum health over 3 seconds.
This status alone could not prevent the Mage Guardian from escaping; Huang Yi needed to inflict another negative status!
His attack speed was very fast now, and there was probably enough time to strike twice more before the mage’s blinding wore off. If these two attacks did not bring new negative statuses, the enemy would likely be able to distance themselves. The consequences would be dire!
Huang Yi calmly launched his first attack!
But no new negative status appeared on the enemy, a failure!
At that time, the Mage Guardian’s blinding status was about to end, and he had only one last chance!
"Boom!" The next moment, Huang Yi’s Bloodstained War Halberd drew a perfect arc and smashed upon the Mage Guardian!
That moment felt like a miracle; suddenly, five negative statuses appeared on the Mage Guardian!
Huang Yi had succeeded! He had inflicted an unprecedented negative status, the most difficult and best one from the Legendary Ring—"Nightmare"!
Under the Nightmare status, the enemy would enter "Immobilize," "Silence," "Slowdown," "Blinding," and "Bleeding," all at once for the next 3 seconds!
This was the ultimate Nightmare status! It was as if the full potential of the Sand Thief King’s Guardian Ring had been unlocked, which had only a 1% chance of occurrence!
For the next 3 seconds, the Mage Guardian was still at Huang Yi’s mercy!
The ensuing attacks went by without much peril, as Huang Yi kept afflicting the Mage Guardian with a new negative status every 3 seconds, preventing her escape.
Like this, 20 seconds passed.
The Mage Guardian’s health had dropped to 74%, but the duration of Huang Yi’s "Swift Judgement" had ended, and his attack speed plummeted by 50%! Inflicting negative statuses frequently had become difficult!
By now, Huang Yi could perceive that the Blood God was not far away, possibly needing only a few more seconds to arrive. He had to find a way to delay the enemy a bit longer!
"Chance Increase!" At that moment, Huang Yi decisively activated the attached skill of the Legendary Ring, Sand Thief King’s Dream—increasing the probability of inflicting all negative statuses by fivefold for the next 10 seconds!
Under this effect, nearly every one of Huang Yi’s attacks produced a negative status!
He immediately swung his Bloodstained War Halberd and stabbed at the Mage Guardian!
Indeed, the skill’s effect was evident—another "Blinding" status promptly appeared on the enemy, causing loss of vision for 3 seconds!
On the second attack, Huang Yi inflicted "Bleeding"!
On the third attack, Huang Yi inflicted "Silence"!
...
With each attack, Huang Yi could inflict a negative status, once again delaying the Mage Guardian, preventing her from creating distance.
Finally, in the fifth second, the Blood God burst out of a narrow alley onto the street.
Under Huang Yi’s command, it quickly reached the Siege Crossbow loaded with a huge bolt, targeting the Mage Guardian in the air!
Just then, Huang Yi inflicted an "Immobilize" status on the Mage Guardian, instantly fixing her in place, unable to move!
"Fire the crossbow!" Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Huang Yi quickly backed away and shouted at the Blood God.
The Blood God immediately extended a blood vessel and pulled the lever of the Siege Crossbow!
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a massive bolt shot out with a fierce whooshing noise, hurtling towards the Mage Guardian!
