MMORPG: The Elementalist

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Dinosaurcerer flapped his sporadically rare Angelic Wings and zoomed into the sky; he flew higher and higher and higher! If it had not been due to the glittering light that beamed off his wings, he would have vanished from everyone's line of sight, disappearing into the dark sky.

That not only surprised the Executors, but his fellow teammates in the Fallen Angels were also stumped by his flamboyant show.

"The hell is he doing? He's now forty meters up in the air already…"

"F*ck. I can't see or detect him from here anymore. What trick is he trying to pull?"

"No idea."

Black God and Apocalypse looked at each other, bewildered. Then they turned to Qin Ruo.

"Clan Leader… can you still see him?"

At the same time, Dinosaurcerer had risen to a certain height, meters away from the range of Elemental Perception. All that they could see was just two small dots of light and nothing else. Therefore, they were hoping that Qin Ruo's long-range Perception could at least pick up on his whereabouts.

Although Qin Ruo could faintly guess what Dinosaurcerer was up to, he still quickly activated his Aquamorph and radiated his Perception far and wide—he was also curious to see if Dinosaurcerer had the same plan in mind.

***

The Executors' Summoner immediately realized that Dinosaurcerer was not the clown he thought he was. He immediately stopped underestimating his opponent and backed away to stare at the tiny dot of light in the sky while he summoned his monsters and Pet. He was not going to allow himself to be defeated by yet another newbie Tier 5 player, not when the player had fused with a Divinity crystal.

This battle… was too important for the Executors to lose!

They had lost three out of twelve battles. If they got defeated yet again, there would be no point on continuing with the rest of the battles—they would have lost four battles, a whopping quarter of the entire duel. Besides, there was an almost undefeatable Homme Fatale and another winged Champion, Apocalypse…. That would be another two battles they would lose. To top it all of, there was the greatest Radiant Priest in the Mythical Battlefield and also an extremely developed Ignis Swordmaster—both were Tier 5 veterans, more powerful than both Xiaoxiao and Dinosaurcerer combined.

Therefore, he had to win the battle!

"Arhhwoooo!"

A long frightening howl was suddenly heard in the Ruins as a huge Silver Werewolf appeared next to the Summoner.

It was a Silver Moon Werewolf Demon, a Tier 5 Miniboss Pet. Its combat prowess was quite proficient.

With the aid of the Tier 5 Miniboss, the Summoner resumed his observation on the white beaming dot in the sky. He roughly estimated the time Dinosaurcerer needed to dive down, and sketched up a plan!

He swiftly dragged his feet on the ground and started drawing…

Within three seconds, a hexagram was skillfully drawn on the ground with his feet…

"What's that?"

The spectators were curious about what the Summoner was trying to do…

Snowleaf, who was a Tier 5 Summoner herself, was surprised.

"That's!!"

In the next second!

A loud clamor was heard under the ground as the hexagram suddenly radiated a beam of white light, which shot out to the surrounding area. The area covered by the white light was as huge as ten meters in diameter!

Then, intense pressure was gradually released from the hexagram, pushing the Summoner out of the beaming star-shaped diagram.

"No!! That's a Higher Summoning skill!!" Snowleaf cried out.

"Higher Summoning?"

Qin Ruo, still could not find Dinosaurcerer anywhere using his Aquamorph. He shuddered at her words.

In a serious tone of voice, Snowleaf explained.

"…It's a really powerful Tier 5 Higher Summoning. I still haven't cleared the mission that yields this skill… but I do know that this skill is powerful and harder to execute… It allows the Summoner to fuse his own Intelligence with the hexagram to form a summoning diagram that summons a monster one tier higher than him."

"A Tier 6 monster?"

"Yes!" Snowleaf nodded worriedly. "That's not all! This monster will always have the same type of attribute as the one who summons it. So, if that Summoner fuses himself with the monster, his strength would drastically increase! Dinosaurcerer's summoning skills can only call upon Tier 5 monsters. He can't allow that Summoner to succeed in his fusion!"

Everyone was shocked to hear this…

Although they were not really sure of how strong a Tier 5 Summoner was or how Summoning skills worked, they still understood that there was indeed a difference between fusing with a Tier 5 and a Tier 6 monster.

As for that Summoner's Pet…

Glancing over at the Silver Moon Werewolf Demon, the werewolf was bulky, and there was a strong intensity in its appearance. It was also charging up a Tier 5 AoE Magic Attack at the same time. It was definitely stronger than Dinosaurcerer's Deathfiend Spider.

The only advantage that Dinosaurcerer had was his Angelic Wings.

Yet, he was still flying fifty meters up in the sky and not launching an attack. They could only watch with unreserved concern as his opponent summoned a Tier 6 monster and his Pet prepared its AoE Attack.

"That moron!"

Black Rock was pissed. "Dino… if you lose, we'll have you buy us all booze as punishment!"

"Lose?"

While he said that, Qin Ruo, who was still observing the sky with his Aquamorph, chuckled.

"What? Little Qin, you think Dino still stands a chance to win?"

Slayer's Heart had been silent throughout the duel, but he suddenly posed a question. He, too, failed to see how Dinosaurcerer possessed any winning chance.

It was no surprise that he was as anxious as everyone else.

No one knew what Dinosaurcerer was up to, flying up in the night sky. Meanwhile, the victory roll was tipping over in the enemy's favor at the moment.

If Dinosaurcerer still did not appear, he would definitely be shot down…

However, Qin Ruo mysteriously smiled. "Don't worry. He's got this."

"Dino has a plan… Although I'm not sure if he can win, he definitely won't lose."

Everyone let out a sigh of relief after they heard Qin Ruo's reassuring words, nonetheless they still suspended their belief…

***

In the meantime, Remorseless Warrior and his crew felt completely relieved…

Even though they had no idea why Dinosaurcerer flew up into the sky and away from everyone's perception, they were confident that their Summoner would win. The Silver Moon Werewolf Demon was about to finish its magic charging with strong pulses of Mana, and the other Summoner had successfully called upon a Strix, an owl-like monster with two pairs of wings.

It would be impractical to do a Beastform Fusion now…

However, with the aid of both the Silver Moon Werewolf Demon and Strix, it would be a hell of a fight for Dinosaurcerer. They would gang up on him through land and air. After all, if a Summoner was not an Elementalist and had not achieved Beastform Fusion or had the protection of Defense Magic, it would be extremely dangerous for him to take on monsters alone.

"Growwl!!"

The Silver Moon Werewolf Demon had finally completed the charge for its Tier 5 AoE Magic Attack!

A fierce gust of wind suddenly blew into the sky, cutting through everything in its path like countless whirling knives of wind—Windstorm Annihilation!

As the sharp and fierce wind swirled in the Ruins, several recently spawned Gorefiend Spiders were instantly cut into a thousand pieces.

The two beaming white dots in the night sky, as observed by countless spectators, also disappeared the same time Windstorm Annihilation started to blow.

"Hell yeah!!"

Hundreds of Executors, who were spectating outside the field, cheered loudly!

Immediately after the white light disappeared, the Strix let out a huge screech, swept its mighty wings, and darted towards the spot where the light disappeared. Concurrently, the Silver Moon Werewolf Demon swiftly dashed in the same direction on land too.

The Summoner suspected that something was wrong though…

Everything had gone too smoothly!

Even though his opponent was a Tier 5 Summoner who had recently ranked up, thus seeming weaker than him, Dinosaurcerer was still a Clan Leader. He was the Clan Leader of Violent Army Clan, a Clan that Homme Fatale joined. He would not just hover in the sky and do absolutely nothing.

It would be impossible for Dinosaurcerer to simply let him cast a Tier 5 AoE attack and do nothing…

What on earth was going on?!

His suspicion grew more and more…

There was no sign of Dinosaurcerer. His Angelic Wings had been affected; he should be falling down from the sky, fifty meters above the ground, by now. Yet, there was no sign of him.

"What trickery is this?!"

Without wasting a second, the Summoner ordered his Strix to attack Dinosaurcerer on sight—even if he could still hover in the air for some weird means, he would not survive a Tier 6 monster!

While the Strix received its orders, the spectators were all heated up with excitement!

Just then, the Summoner heard his fellow Executors shriek anxiously from behind.

"Look out!"

"Spider!"

"…Above you!"
