Half-elf Ranger

Whoosh whoosh!

In the night, Thorne's figure shuttled through the dense jungle, rushing towards the direction of Talan Village.

Now, the buff magic that Gust blessed him with is about to dissipate, so he can't wait any longer.

Before the magic has completely disappeared, he must take advantage of the time when his own scent is concealed, and secretly approach the gnoll priest, and then give the opponent a fatal blow before he notices it.

Even if he can't kill the opponent, at least he must be severely injured, so that in the next chase, Thorne's chances of escaping will be much higher.

Even lured him to Talan Village, it is not impossible to kill him with the players of Yuanshan Town.

Otherwise, if he is alone with the opponent, he will have no chance of winning, and there is still an injury on Thorne, although it is only a minor injury, which has little effect on him.

But the **** smell can be firmly locked by these Mara believers who are good at tracking.

As long as the other party keeps chasing after him, he will be exhausted sooner or later.

Whoosh!

Thorne jumped gently on the branch again, and jumped steadily into another dense bush, and then he carefully pushed aside the branches and leaves.

About ten meters ahead, the galloping figure of the gnoll priest appeared in Thorne's sight.

So Thorne immediately turned on both stealth and hiding skills.

Suddenly, under the shroud of night, Thorne's hazy figure seemed to completely disappear into the trees.

Devotion Shield, Enchanted Armor, Enchanted Weapon, Bull Strength, Cat Grace.

Thorne, through his spell recognition skills, secretly judged the various magical auras flashing on the gnoll priest, and his hanging heart sank slightly.

Unexpectedly, this gnoll priest prepared quite comprehensively.

First of all, the Devotion Shield can make most physical attacks, when hitting the caster, deflect and cause the attack to fail.

Even if the attack is successful, it will be blocked by the second defensive magical armor on the opponent's body.

Although the defensive magic of priests is not as numerous as that of wizards, they are very practical.

Then there are three highly aggressive buffing spells. The strength of the bull and the grace of the cat have allowed him to experience the benefits of 4 points of strength and 4 points of agility.

Otherwise, he would not have easily killed the four gnolls who were chasing him.

The magic weapon can quickly turn an ordinary weapon into a magic equipment that can add magic damage.

In Winter City, the most inferior magic weapon costs at least 500 gold coins, but in the hands of the caster, it can be easily done with just one ring of magic.

Even a brick can become a deadly threat with the blessing of magic.

Thorne clenched the long sword in his hand, time was running out, he couldn't bear to think too much now, and the gnoll priest was quickly approaching his ambush location, so he couldn't miss the opportunity!

I can only fight, after all, there is only one chance!

Thorne no longer hesitated, glanced at the approximate location of the gnoll priest, and a wooden holy emblem immediately appeared in his left hand.

Accompanied by Thorne's soft chant, the wooden holy emblem exudes a hazy light green glow under the cover of lush foliage.

— "One Ring of Divine Art: [Powerful] Entanglement Art!"

Thorne waved his hand gently, and the light of the holy emblem overflowed.

When shrouded in the yellow weeds on the ground, these swaying weeds are affected by natural energy and begin to surge wildly.

Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, countless vines covered with spikes grew, wrapping around the entire body of the gnoll priest who had just approached.

Um?

The gnoll priest, who was running fast, was stunned when he saw the thorny vines that suddenly wrapped around him on the ground.

Immediately after that, he stopped and waved the nunchaku stick with magical aura in his hand, trying to drive away these crazy vines.

It's now!

Thorne's eyes narrowed slightly, he tightened the dark red sword in his hand, and took a deep breath.

- "Desert Wind Sect (Enhanced Skill): Sword of Red Lotus!"

In the dark night, a long sword burning with flames suddenly appeared in the sky, falling from the sky.

With swords in both hands, Thorne jumped from the branch where he was hiding, and slashed at the head of the gnoll priest with all his might.

At the same time that the powerful flaming sword cut through the thick night, it also instantly broke the magical aura of the devout shield around the gnoll priest.

huh~

The gnoll priest, who was driving the vines, suddenly noticed a scorching heat, and the strong wind blew away his lush mane.

The gnoll priest's expression changed slightly, and he no longer cared about these vines that were not very threatening.

Holding both ends of the nunchaku iron rod with both hands, with the iron chain in the middle, facing Thorne's flaming sword.

clang!

The long sword collided with the iron chain, and the harsh metal friction sounded.

Seeing that the attack was blocked, Thorne endured the shock of the right arm due to the excessive force, and once again exerted force with one hand to suppress the weapon of the gnoll priest.

The left hand took the opportunity to draw a short sword and quickly stabbed the gnoll priest in the chest.

puff!

The sharp dagger did not sink in as he imagined, but only broke through the black leather armor of the gnoll priest.

After a wound was cut in his chest, the force of the puncture was completely cancelled.

Under the dual blessing of the old enemy and the hunter's mark, he couldn't break the opponent's magical defense, and a look of surprise flashed in Thorne's eyes.

He originally thought that the level of the gnoll priest was probably around level 7.

However, through this attack, Thorne immediately judged that the opponent was probably at least level 9 or above.

Feeling a slight tingling pain in his chest, the gnoll priest was unmoved, his hideous face showed a cruel smile.

- "One Ring of Magic: Fright!"

An angry growl followed by a disgusting stench poured out of the gnoll priest's throat.

- "Soul Soul Sect (Coping Skill): Perfect Spirit!"

Will saving throw in progress!

Will save succeeded!

You have successfully resisted the terror effect of the Fright spell!

Panic doesn't work on you!

…

A drop of crystal sweat overflowed from Thorne's forehead and slid down the delicate cheek to the ground.

When Thorne felt an aura that exuded a strong fear, it was rapidly surging towards his whole body.

He unhesitatingly activated his perfect spirit to resist, and suddenly there was a clear breath in his mind, as if the warm sunlight brushed through the cold air, quickly dispelling all fears.

Fright is a spell that can instantly shroud the enemy in fear, even if the Will save is successful, it will still temporarily shudder.

There are three main types of fear states: trembling, panic, and fear.

When the enemy is in a state of trembling, they will lose their will to fight, and will have an instinctive fear of the caster in their hearts. When attacking the opponent, they will become fearful.

Enemies in a panic state also have a shudder effect, and will also make people instinctively choose to stay away from the source of fear, but still retain control over their bodies.

In the strongest fear state, the enemy will temporarily lose his will, and his body will run around uncontrollably.

Fortunately for Thorne, he has the Bloody Challenger feat, which makes him immune to tremors and panic states, so the tremors that come with panic spells are useless to him at all.

Otherwise, in this stupefying effort, he would be greeted by the Gnoll Priest, the nunchaku iron rod in his hand that had been infused with magic magic.

A set of combos went down, and his fragile body was enough to kill him.

However, although Thorne successfully resisted the terror of the gnoll priest, it still made his movements slightly stagnant.

In this gap, the Gnoll Priest had prepared a divine attack technique in his hands.

- "Three Rings Magic: Flame of Darkness!"

With a low moan, a pale black flame appeared strangely in the palm of the gnoll priest.

This fist-sized flame could not feel any warmth or light, but Thorne's intuition told him that the strange flame in front of him was deadly enough for him!

"Despicable Ranger, go to hell!"

The gnoll priest roared, waved the black flame in his palm, and patted Thorne's chest.

bump!

Thorne's expression was slightly condensed, and he kicked the gnoll priest in the abdomen, and then opened the distance between the two sides.

But just as he stabilized his body, this black flame appeared strangely in front of him again.

- "Desert Style (Stance Skill): Avoiding Fire!"

— "One Ring of Magic: Resist Energy Damage (Fire)!"

Thorne knew that he could not escape, and immediately launched two defensive flame skills at a very fast speed.

As the incantation was quickly uttered from Thorne's mouth, a near-invisible energy protection field instantly appeared on his body just before the black flames approached.

bump!

When the black flame hit Thorne's chest, there was no rumbling and explosion as he imagined, but it just made Thorne let out a groan.

But when Thorne noticed the location of his chest due to the piercing pain, he found that there were large burning marks and an unpleasant smell on the chest.
