Chapter 689 - 661 Struggling to Delay (3rd Update)
With Huang Yi’s strength, it was difficult to kill the level 165 Guardian, but with the Siege Crossbow there were no problems!
Siege Crossbows, these war machines with huge lethality, were far beyond any player’s Attack Power, and just below were several loaded but yet-to-be-fired Siege Crossbows!
As long as the angle was right, there was great hope to kill this level 165 Mage!
Thinking this, Huang Yi immediately sneaked over to the Blood God who was still slaughtering on another street nearby, planning to be the one to operate the Siege Crossbow. The distance between the Blood God and him was very short, it would take less than a minute to get there, so Huang Yi needed to stall for one minute!
"Whoosh!" Just then, the level 165 Mage shot a second Fireball at Huang Yi!
This time, Little Dragon became more agile after the previous experience, just narrowly evading the Fireball and not getting hit.
Seeing this, the level 165 Guardian flew over a distance, while in her hand she was brewing a scorching flame, seemingly preparing a super-powerful attack filled with daunting power.
"Flying Axe!" At this moment, Huang Yi decisively threw his Epic Bloody War Halberd at the Mage Guardian!
"Whoo!" The Bloodstained War Halberd flew rapidly through the air, traveling at a hundred meters per second, so fast it was almost a blur!
The Mage Guardian had a very quick response as well; as soon as she saw this imposing attack, she decisively used Blink and instantly relocated a great distance in front of Huang Yi!
This Blink was unexpected, not only temporarily avoiding the Flying Axe but also closing the distance to Huang Yi, killing two birds with one stone!
And at that moment, the long-brewing Fireball in her hand forcefully smashed down towards 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 the Attached Skill of Thunder Left Hand—10 seconds of Immunity to all Magic Attribute damage and converting his own attacks into Thunder Magic Attacks. Any close-range enemy striking him would be electrocuted and suffer a one-second paralyzing effect.
In an instant, his body was covered in a layer of flashing electric light, making him look like the Thunder God descended from the heavens!
"Crack!" Almost simultaneously, the Guardian Mage’s attack hit Huang Yi!
But her Spell attack was immediately immunized by Huang Yi’s Body of Lightning and Thunder! Not only that, since she used her fists instead of a Mage Staff for the attack, it counted as a close-range attack, and she got electrocuted, entering a one-second paralyzed state!
And the Bloodstained War Halberd that Huang Yi had previously thrown curved back. The Flying Axe skill had been reformed to automatically track enemies and would keep hitting her!
"Thud!" The Epic Bloody War Halberd viciously hit the Mage Guardian’s back, causing damage equivalent to 30% of Huang Yi’s Attack, and knocked her forward a distance!
Huang Yi immediately caught the Bloody War Halberd and seized this perfect opportunity to counterattack. He had to attack while stalling for time, waiting for the nearby Blood God to arrive.
Now, being in the state of Body of Lightning and Thunder, his attacks would be Thunder-type and have a paralyzing effect. After gripping the Bloody War Halberd, the Thunder attributes instantly spread over it too, covering the halberd with a layer of thunder and lightning, crackling with electricity.
"Heavy Judgment!" Huang Yi stabbed fiercely at the Mage Guardian, delivering three times the incredibly powerful Attack Power plus an additional 30% damage increase from the Critical Damage Rune, pouring it onto the Mage Guardian!
The Mage Guardian immediately suffered a massive blow! Although she was a high-level 165 Mage, she was still a squishy in her class, unable to withstand such a potent close-range attack from Huang Yi, she took hefty damage and fell into paralysis, her body going limp, unable to retaliate effectively, struggling to dodge in the air.
"Heavy Judgment!"
"Heavy Judgment!"
Huang Yi was like a War God, with his Bloodstained War Halberd repeatedly striking at the Mage Guardian, keeping her continuously paralyzed.
Just then, the Mage suddenly stood still, her body frozen in mid-air like a statue, yet not falling down.
It turned out that Huang Yi’s attack had triggered an "Immobilize" effect!
Some time ago, after killing the Sand Thief King, he had acquired a Legendary Ring named "Sand Thief King’s Dream." It was originally an Epic Ring, but it had temporarily dropped to Legendary, requiring Huang Yi to build an empire in the Desolate Sands to restore its Epic glory.
The Ring’s Attribute Bonus was very special, potentially inflicting one of six different negative states—"Nightmare," "Immobilize," "Silence," "Slowdown," "Blinding," "Bleeding"—on the enemy for 3 seconds, with chances ranging from 1% to 6%!
Meaning, all states combined, there was a 21% chance of occurring, averaging one negative state every five attacks.
Among them, Immobilize had only a 2% chance of trigger, and Huang Yi was extremely lucky to have triggered it this time!
For the next three seconds, he could unleash his attacks freely!
In this way, Huang Yi’s powerful attacks were unleashed time after time on the Mage Guardian, draining her Health Points more and more!
But as soon as she recovered and created distance for a counterattack, it would be a nightmare for Huang Yi!
Soon, ten seconds passed, and the electric currents on Huang Yi disappeared without a trace, the state of Body of Lightning and Thunder ended, and his attacks would no longer have the paralyzing effect.
"Swift Judgment!" At this moment, Huang Yi immediately activated his Class Skill Swift Judgment, increasing his Attack Speed by 50% for the next 20 seconds!
With the increase in Attack Speed, he could attack more frequently per second, raising the chances of triggering the six states of the Sand Thief King’s Dream!
The Mage Guardian, now free from paralysis, charged toward the distance, trying to temporarily create distance from Huang Yi.
But just then, her steps suddenly became incredibly heavy, as if she were tied down with sandbags, her movements sluggish, unable to escape Huang Yi’s Attack Range!
It turned out that Huang Yi had inflicted a "Slowdown" status with only a 4% chance of occurring, reducing the mage’s speed by 50% for three seconds!
These three seconds were still Huang Yi’s prime attack time!
He was furiously attacking the Mage Guardian, praying in his heart for a new negative status to appear! Only then could he keep dragging the Mage Guardian down!
Two seconds later, Huang Yi inflicted a fresh "Blinding" status, and the Mage Guardian suddenly lost all of her vision, lasting for three seconds!
Without vision, the mage floated blindly through the air, enduring Huang Yi’s attacks while groping forward.
In the third second, just as the blinding was about to end, Huang Yi finally inflicted another negative status—"Bleeding," the most minor status from the Legendary Ring with a 6% chance of occurrence, causing the enemy to lose Health Points equal to 5% of Huang Yi’s maximum Life over three seconds.
This negative status was the only one that couldn’t prevent the Mage Guardian from escaping; Huang Yi had to inflict another negative status!
His Attack Speed was very fast now; he would likely be able to make two more attacks before the mage’s blinding effect ended. If he couldn’t produce a new negative status within these two attacks, the opponent would likely manage to escape! The consequences would be unimaginable then!
Huang Yi calmly made the first attack!
But no new negative status appeared on his opponent; it had failed!
By now, the Mage Guardian’s Blinding status was almost ending, and he had only one last chance!
"Boom!" In the next moment, Huang Yi’s Bloodstained War Halberd traced a perfect arc and smashed into the Mage Guardian!
At that moment, it was as if a miracle occurred—the Mage Guardian suddenly had five negative statuses appear on her!
Huang Yi had succeeded! He had inflicted an unprecedented negative status, the best and hardest to cause from the Legendary Ring—Nightmare!
Under Nightmare State, the enemy will enter "Immobilize," "Silence," "Slowdown," "Blinding," and "Bleeding" for three seconds all at once!
This was the most powerful Nightmare State! It was like bringing out the full potential of the Sand Thief King’s Guardian Ring, with only a 1% chance of it happening!
Now, the Mage Guardian was still under Huang Yi’s control for three more seconds!
The subsequent attacks went smoothly without any risk, and Huang Yi consistently applied a new negative status to the Mage Guardian within three seconds, making it impossible for her to escape.
Like this, 20 seconds passed.
The Mage Guardian’s Health Points had dropped to 74%, but Huang Yi’s "Swift Judgment" duration had finally ended, and his Attack Speed had dropped by 50%! It would be more difficult to frequently inflict negative statuses!
At this point, Huang Yi could already sense that the Blood God wasn’t far away—it would only take a few more seconds to arrive. He had to figure out a way to delay the opponent a little longer!
"Chance Increase!" At this moment, Huang Yi decisively activated the attached skill of the Legendary Ring, Sand Thief King’s Dream—increasing the chance of inflicting all negative statuses by five times for ten seconds!
Under this effect, Huang Yi could almost inflict a negative status with each attack!
He instantly swung the Bloodstained War Halberd, thrusting it towards the Mage Guardian!
Indeed, the effect of the skill was obvious, and it worked immediately—the opponent suddenly had an additional "Blinding" status, losing all vision for three seconds!
On the second attack, Huang Yi inflicted "Bleeding!"
On the third attack, Huang Yi inflicted "Silence!"
...
With each attack, Huang Yi managed to inflict a negative status, dragging the Mage Guardian down once more, preventing her from escaping.
Finally, in the fifth second, the Blood God charged out of a small alley and arrived on the street.
Under Huang Yi’s directive, it quickly approached a siege crossbow loaded with a giant bolt, aiming at the Mage Guardian in the sky!
Just then, Huang Yi inflicted an "Immobilize" status, and the Mage Guardian was instantly frozen in place, unable to move!
"Fire the crossbow!" Seizing this rare opportunity, Huang Yi shouted loudly to the Blood God as he quickly retreated.
The Blood God immediately extended a blood vessel and pulled the lever of the siege crossbow!
"Whoosh!" All of a sudden, an immensely large bolt, with a fierce whooshing sound, shot towards the Mage Guardian!
