Chapter 753 - The Hard Hitters Battle II

Hou Yiwei is now attempting to kill the four with his team members as this is the new strategy that they decided to do. The Twin Blades will protect their base while Hou Yiwei and the other two support members will sweep every base that they encounter.

Hou Yiwei supported by a tank type warrior and a shaman class support character is enough for him to show his might. Apolaki, Frey and Totem looked at one another as they are also enemies against one another.

No one will trust the other for backup and that is what Hou Yiwei is anticipating which is why he started the attack. He wanted to put the three under opponents under pressure while they are also wary of each other. Hou Yiwei just needed to keep them from escaping the area and he would most likely be victorious.

"Spirit Walk!" Apolaki stated as he used his other sword the Kris.

Apolaki held the Kris and did something like a ritualistic dance. His body suddenly turned illusory or something akin to white smoke. After a few seconds, Apolaki is no longer to be seen and even Hou Yiwei could not detect him.

Hou Yiwei tried finding the escaped Apolaki but he could not even detect his presence even with his extraordinary Dragon Sense. He felt like the player named Apolaki vanished from existence. The only one of them that somewhat had an inkling of what happened to Apolaki is Totem.

Totem noticed that Apolaki used some sort of ritualistic spell that turned him into something like a spirit. He only felt it but even he could not see what direction Apolaki went. He also wanted to escape but his escape ability is a high-level skill that he did not want to waste.

"Coward! Where did you go?!" Hou Yiwei taunted Apolaki but he was not provoked. More like he is already nowhere in the area right now.

"It seems that he has escaped." The shaman player of the Chinese National Team stated.

"Pressure Totem. I will deal with Frey first." Hou Yiwei stated as he is now clearly disappointed that one managed to escape.

"Roger." The warrior and the shaman of the Chinese National Team stated as they bolted from their position in order to cut off Totem that was backing off.

"Persistent but will you be able to handle me without the help of your leader?" Totem stated as he is now in battle mode. Numerous totems are now flying around him each with different animas carved on it.

"We are more than enough to deal with you." The shaman of the Chinese National Team stated as she started to buff all her team members.

The two members of the Chinese National Team are confident that they will be able to take care of Totem as he is not that high up in the rankings. He is almost on the same ranking as those in the top 20 from their research.

Totem also knew that he is being looked down upon, but he did not mind. He can utilize their poor observational skills in order to defeat them. He will not be able to escape easily like that of Apolaki since Hou Yiwei and his team members are now wary of them. If only he also started to prepare to escape like Apolaki did then he might have escaped as well.

The warrior of the Chinese National Team is more on the tanky side as the shield he has is bigger compared to the sword that he is using. In fact, he is only using a short sword instead of a standard sword but that did not mean he has no chance of defeating totem.

The shaman of the Chinese National Team is casting multiple buffs and debuffs while being fully aware of the cooldown of each of them. She is definitely a top tier support player as she can balance attacking, buffing and debuffing.

"Spirit of the Bear!" Totem stated as one of the totems which has a bear carved glowed. That specific bear totem suddenly released a silhouette of a bear and passed that to Totem.

Totem's body armor suddenly became fur as if his outer appearance became somewhat reminiscent of a bear. Not just an ordinary bear but a Huge Grizzly which is a type of monster in Pandemonium famed for their body strength.

Totem's job class is different compared to other Druid type of job class since he has a unique class. He can utilize the power of monsters that he has defeated or befriended. The bonus of the buffs he receives is much better when he befriended the monsters compared to when he defeats them.

If he defeats a monster, the totem that he can create from that monster's energy can power him up by 25%. If he befriends the monster, then that power up bonus is doubled. The totem will also be permanent as his arsenal of skills will be filled with that of monsters that he befriended or defeats.

The good thing for Totem is that he also has contract with elementals albeit not a permanent one. He can even stack the buffs he received up to four times as long as his body can handle it.

[Player 'Totem' has increased health stat by 20% for 30 minutes.]

[Player 'Totem' will gain a burst of movement speed of 100% for five seconds. The movement speed bonus will decay by 20% per second.]

Totem did not wait for the warrior player of the Chinese National Team to reach him as he used his running stance. He clashed head on with the tank warrior of the Chinese National Team and the heavy warrior felt like he got pushed back.

[You have been stunned.]

Totem did not stop there as he smacked the enemy warrior with his bare fists. Each strike felt much heavier than the last as he could feel that Totem is becoming stronger with each strike. Even the debuffs that shaman player used on Totem felt like it is doing nothing because of the natural resistance of the druid type job classes to hexes and curses.

"Spirit of the Tiger!" Totem shouted as another totem activated.

The silhouette of a tiger appeared behind Totem as his buffs started to power up his body.

[Player 'Totem' has increased strength stat by 10% for 30 minutes.]

[Player 'Totem' has increased agility stat by 20% for 30 minutes.]

[Player 'Totem' will gain a burst of movement speed of 100% for five seconds. The movement speed bonus will decay by 20% per second.]

Totem did leave the warrior that is currently kneeling on the ground and headed straight towards the shaman enemy player. The shaman enemy player did not think that something like that is possible as she only saw a shadow.

Totem's hands look like a tiger's claw, but his hide is like a mix between a bear and a tiger. It seems that the influence of the previous possession is still present. Totem's attacks are so heavy that the shaman's protective charm item that she used went into smoke as it could not handle the onslaught of attacks from Totem.

Hou Yiwei noticed that his team members are now in a difficult situation as he judged that the person named Totem is not that great of a fighter since he has low rank in the leaderboard. Hou Yiwei is about to aid his other two team members when Frey suddenly appeared before him and thrusted her spear towards his neck.

Frey's attack became fiercer than before as she remembered that she also wanted to defeat Hou Yiwei in order to reclaim the confidence. She lost pretty badly when she first encountered Hou Yiwei as he is a very skilled archer with lots of powerful skills. The only difference is that the past Frey is no longer there as even the weakest of the older Valkyries fear Frey's talent in fighting.

Hou Yiwei knew that he will not be able to counter Frey unless he also enters close combat mode. Frey is sticking to him like a bug as she is not letting him gain any distance. Hou Yiwei activated the special feature of his bow as it transformed into two scimitars.

"Blade Dance!" Hou Yiwei stated as he wanted Frey to not be as close to him as she will control the pace of their battle if her momentum does not stop.. This skill made Frey gain distance or risk her getting heavy damage as Hou Yiwei swirled with his two scimitars.
