Chapter 168 - PK Battle 2

Sato didn't know much about the PK Rankings and so, the name DrEpicsauce had not enter his ear until this day. He, however, realised something was up when the fire mage had casted a spell without reading incantations. He knew his first PK opponent was truly a formidable opponent. The meteor were all aggregated around Sato's part of the plains. The Area of Effect was rather large and so, Sato did not want to take any chances. On the bottom right of Sato's screens were the different abilities that Sato could use. Which a tap of the screen, Sato used Advanced Stealth, followed by Blink. The order of ability usage was purposeful so as to prevent DrEpicsauce from knowing which way he went.

The flaming meteors land on the plains and DrEpicsauce hadn't fire off another barrage of spells. He had seen Dawnlore disappearing using stealth. There was no point in him wasting mana on his powerful spells. Used to the Assassin role PKs, DrEpicsauce ran to the middle of the plains which was the best area for him. There wasn't any place for assassin to hide and it will not be for long before he will have to appear.

Flaming Seedlings. With a quick thought, DrEpicsauce swished his staff. Thousands and thousands of tiny flames slowly expanded and descended to the ground around him. The flames did not extinguish when touching the ground and continued to sit there in a well-behaved manner. Sato recognised the spell.

*Flaming Seedlings

*Plants mini flame bombs on the ground. When a players steps on it, deal 80% magic damage and has a 20% chance of blinding.

This ability was essentially the bane of all assassins and many fire mages had spent big bucks to purchase the spell scroll to learn it. It was meant to cover up one the mage's weakness which was defence. This, however, meant that the extremely powerful mage, DrEpicsauce was even more invincible.

Sato took a minute to rack his brains for ideas. He needed to approach the match slowly and not be played into the hands of his opponent. The young man knew his abilities best. For now, he had no plans on summoning Whitie, his pet Roaring White Tiger. Whitie's level was far too long to do anything and so, it would be pointless to use him. There were two ways that he could play it out. One, was to engage the fire mage head on and versus him with his Purple Serpent's Fang. If he wasn't a good match against him, he would then use Blink to escape safely. Two, was to engage in a ranged combat against DrEpicsauce. He had the passive ability "Bow and Dagger Mastery" which allows him to use two different primary weapons. The would allow him to attack from a safe distance. The best part was that the stealth would not be broken so long as his opponent could not find him or damage him. The range of Advanced Stealth is 5 metres. The distance between the centre of the plain to where he was in the trees was about 10 metres, making the second plan very much viable.

As a result, Sato decided to follow through with the second plan. Switching out his weapon, Sato drew the bow until it was taut. With great precision, due to the aid of the tablet's aiming functions, the arrow wizzed through the air and struck the mage squarely in the head. As the arrowhead came close to the hair of DrEpicsauce, there was a clashing noise and the next thing Sato knew, his arrow's damage had been entirely negated.

"He had casted fire barrier on himself.." Sato spoke under his breath, but Gray heard it.

"Is your battle going well?" The general asked.

"Not really. My opponent is extremely proficient in his flame magic. I don't know if I will be able to defeat him." Sato spoke grimly. He had disabled the voice function before entering PK and could speak to Gray without worrying about his opponent hearing him.

Gray looked away from his tablet to see what was going on at Sato's side.

"Ah? Aren't you in your battle?" Sato sounded surprised.

"Yeah, I just finished mine. Was toying around with my opponent." Gray answered with a dominating tone.

"Really? What level was your opponent by the way?"

"Lvl 40. He was the same as me." Gray took a look at the sight on Sato's tablet. His face frowned immediately. "Why is your opponent 20 levels above you?"

"That was what I wanted to ask actually. I thought everyone would be level 50… AH shit!" Sato activated Blink. His opponent had started to cast a barrage of spells. Compared to before, it seems like DrEpicsauce was finally making his move. With Sato's quick agility, the dark elf leaped from tree to tree, avoiding taking damage at all course. Before long, Sato had reached back to the part of the forest that was destroyed by the meteor.

"You realise what this guy is doing right?" Gray asked worriedly.

"Yeah. He is destroying all of my hiding spots." Sato answered with a slight frown. DrEpicsauce decided that it was best that he took the initiative to engage. Knowing that his opponent could use long ranged attack, the man knew that this assassin was far from the normal assassins he had faced. As such, it was best that he close off all exits at the expense of his mana. At this point, he knew that Dawnlore was dual weapon user and was extremely nimble when it came to dodging abilities.

Just what else are you hiding, Dawnlore. DrEpicsauce's heart started to beat quicker. He shouted out into the burning forest in an assertive tone, "Don't disappoint me, Dawnlore! I have high expectations for this battle!"

When Sato heard what his opponent had shouted, the young man smiled instead of cowering away in fear. He knew he had met a worthy opponent and was going to put his 100% in this battle now.

"Hey Gray, I will be trying my very best now. My character would be exposed to the world with this battle. Are you okay with that?" Sato asked in a lowered voice. Of course, Gray didn't have any doubts and simply rubbed the young man's soft hair.

"Why would I not be okay with it? Whatever you do, I will follow through with you."

"Thank you, Gray." It was as if a switch had been flicked on in Sato's head and now, he was in overdrive mode.
