Chapter 253: Breezy Caress
Man Hing Yau was well-qualified to take pride in her strength. As the saying went, there were no runner-ups in combatthe one who came first was the only victor. For elementalists, Man Hing Yau indeed was ranked first in terms of players who majored in ice-elemental skills, while the feisty Idyllic Poet was her counterpart in fire-elemental skills.
Man Hing Yau had seen the footage of Idyllic Poets battle with Mister Unfettered. The Pyrowitchs performance was spectacular, but she believed she was in no way inferior. Moreover, she was the first on the level rankings for elementalists, for she had already reached Level 40. In other words, she had learnt every skill the class had to offer.
Frosty Beam was the strongest ice spell elementalists had. It had great range and area-of-effect, high damage, and froze the enemy for five seconds. All ice-elemental skills dealt more damage to the frozen player during the five seconds as well.
The downside to such a skill was naturally its long cast time and cooldown. Still, it could be considered an ultimate skill; you either refrain from using it or go all-out for the kill.
Man Hing Yau used her ultimate skill when the battle barely began. Her boldness, calmness, and quick wits all contributed to her reputation as the first-ranked ice elementalist. Be in the Arena, the wilderness, or battles, she had never been picked off by hostiles.
The beam of ice blasted forth at the perfect timing; there was no way of evading it. She didnt get ahead of herself and started casting her next skill as she stood like a graceful plum blossom in the chilly winter. According to her calculations, Frosty Beam alone wasnt enough to kill that man, but that didnt matter. It was only just the start of her raging blizzard that spelt freezing doom for its unfortunate prey. She swung her staff forwards, summoning icicles from the ground in a straight path right behind her Frosty Beam.
Level 30 Elementalist skill, Path of Icicles!
Suddenly, Man Hing Yau heard an inconspicuous noise. She rubbed her eyes out of reflex and could seemingly see a figure flashing past her icicles. Alarms blasted away in her head.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
Its not an illusion!
She turned around in a hurry and wielded her staff to conjure an Ice Shield behind herself. Bam! A streak of brown pounded towards her magical shield; a furry palm of a bear had slammed against the shield, sending cracks all over it.
How! Man Hing Yau was stunned. Before she willed it, her body was already moving as layers of ice formed beneath her feet.
This skill alone was one of her trump cards. Seemingly ordinary, but good enough to greatly increase her chances of survival when being hunted down. Flashs fairly limited range didnt prevent it from serving its purpose of putting distance between them.
Man Hing Yau immediately cast Ice Shield and started chanting another spell. She had been careless just now; having assumed Yim Ho was struck by Freezing Beam, she let her guard down, but that wasnt going to happen again.
Every one of her movements was oh so graceful. She never showed any frantic looks even when pursued by Yim Ho as if she was a living art piece. Suddenly, she heard a nearly unnoticeable sound which made her heart skip a beat, though not enough to disrupt her calmness in battle. She discerned the direction of the sound and instantly cast Ice Shield at the incoming sounds direction.
The next moment, her Ice Shield shattered, and a thin green needle pierced all the way through until it reached her.
Some distance away, Greenstone was being hunted down by the bandit warrior, but he seemed calm as he turned his palms into white jade and engaged it in melee combat. He fought neck-to-neck with the Level 40 epic boss as a herbalist. Even though he took damage from time to time, he could easily heal himself while fighting.
Greenstones attention had never left Man Hing Yau since the fight began. Although seemingly engaged in a heated brawl with the bandit warrior, he had been waiting for this opportunity the entire time.
Level 20 Herbalist skill, Breezy Caress.
The gentle-sounding skill, to the contrary, was an unfair ranged attack which was similar to Crane Morph in a senseits ability to penetrate shields. Back on Mount Soughslit, Chau Yus Shield of Light was shattered in one attack by the same skill.
Herbalists had few offensive skills, but every one of them had unique effects. It was an uncrowned king, stripped of its renown despite being on par with the three godly classes; the only reason it wasnt listed as a godly class was its nature as a support class.
