SEMI-FINAL 1ST ROUND: AMAZINGYOUNGMASTERJIN VS DRAGNAR (III)
BEFORE the golden flame rained down on the rink, Luo Jin's thoughts were filled with the fact that Dragnar chose to disable his passive skill [Chaotic Mind]. That's the only explanation why the other could still move despite being hit by a skill that he fired in long distance.
He wondered how Dragnar knew that he had such a passive skill. During his last two matches, the fact that his opponents were affected by a passive skill was not so obvious. He didn't think that the other was so observant that he had noticed that. He would believe it more if someone told him that it was only a coincidence.
That's right. It was indeed only a coincidence.
When Xia Lei was asked what kind of handicap he would give his opponent, he actually wanted to forego this advantage. Especially after he found out that he would be fighting the young master gnome.
He wasn't really a fan of unfair fights. If his opponent turned out to be Noctis, then, he wouldn't hesitate to give the other a handicap. After all, he would also be giving him one. He was actually expecting the other two remaining players – young master and Winged Tassel – to pick each other as opponents. Who would have thought that the two would pick him and Noctis?
Wasn't it a natural conclusion that they would choose the one that wouldn't give them a disadvantage? But surprisingly enough, both made unusual choices.
At first, Xia Lei told the Duke of Hearts that he didn't want to give the young master any handicap. But the other told him that that wouldn't be possible. He needed to give his opponent a handicap whether he liked to or not.
Since he had to choose anyway, he chose to disable any skills that was unique to the other's race. Being a special race, he was sure that the young master would definitely have some annoying skill up his sleeve.
Unbeknownst to Xia Lei, the effect of the skill he chose to disable was now being fully displayed.
And that's when golden flames rained down on the rink.
Luo Jin quickly dodged the incoming fire. He took out
Even though he bought it at one of the towns for lower level players, it's defensive ability was still top notch. He bought it on a whim because he didn't have any other defensive item. It's a very convenient item that he'd use from time to time.
With the shild above his head, he maneuvered around the pillar of golden flames. He wasn't sure how long this dragon would breathe fire on him, but he couldn't let it continue. If he continued to remain at the receiving end, he and this shield would melt sooner or later.
While hiding under the shield and running around, he looked at the dragon flying above. It would be good if he could suddenly appear on the back of this dragon. No, wait. Maybe he could.
He took out another item from his Items Tab. It's a short distance teleportation scroll. Just like its name, this item could let the user teleport in a short distance. It's not a very popular item. Mostly because of the high price that didn't really match its use. A player could just easily run towards the short distance that the scroll was for.
But it's a different matter during a match like this. And he just happened to have a lot of it. He was suddenly thankful that he was the type to buy small things like this in bulk.
He looked at the dragon. Before he used the scroll, he needed to make a diversion first. So, he raised his ice gun and used his skill [Hailstorm].
Xia Lei saw young master Jin pulling out a shield to defend himself against the flame. That didn't deter him from continuously breathing fire. A dragon's flame was one of the strongest flames in this game. Although he still wasn't at full level and therefore couldn't exert the full strength of his flames, he thought that what he had right now was probably enough to inflict major damage to his opponent.
As he was continuing with his fire assault, hails as sharp as blade fell down from the sky. He didn't feel it at first. That was until something sharp pierced his left wing. With these hails surrounding like some blizzard, he could no longer continue breathing fire down the rink.
If he did that and ignored the hailstorm, he would be the one in trouble. So, to solve the problem, he searched for the point in the sky where the hails were falling. Finally finding it, he launched his body upwards like a rocket. He stopped just before the point that he had seen.
He spread his wings and looked down. At this distance, he could see that only a quarter of the rink was left and the rest had already melted. He could also see the shield that the young master was using. It seemed to only be the size of a basketball. It's good that the other was still standing on the rink.
He took a deep breath and then let out a huge pillar of golden flame. It melted all the hails until it reached the rink. He continued on and didn't stop. That was until he felt a thud on his back.
He turned his head and saw the black-haired gnome standing on his back, pointing two guns at him. He heard him clicked his tongue, as if annoyed that he noticed the other's presence.
Xia Lei had no time to wonder how the other got there. Because he could feel that the young master would definitely pull the trigger of those guns any seconds now.
As young master Jin pulled the trigger, a golden smoke surrounded the dragon's body.
