Virtual World: Close Combat Mage

Chapter 8: Staying the same despite the ever-changing situation

At this time, Sword Demon's mentality was completely different from Gu Fei's. The three hits in succession just now made him break out in cold sweat. Especially the last one, it was a completely subconscious move to protect myself that helped me block this move.

The opponent was a mage, and he was a thief. He should have tried every means to bully the opponent, but the opponent tried every means to keep a distance from him and use long-range spells to attack.

But now, it was the mage who was wielding a dagger and came towards the thief. As a result, the thief, after hitting him three times at close range, stayed far away and did not dare to step forward. No matter how experienced Sword Demon is in online games, he never thought that he would experience such a scene one day. At first, he was quite wary of the mage's primary spell, Fireball. Regardless of its low level, if he was really hit by a fireball, the damage would be worth two or three cuts by himself. It turned out that he didn't use magic at all, he just hit himself two or three times with the knife. This is so unreliable!

The two sides were in a stalemate, and no one could move forward easily.

The sword demon quickly planned his tactics. He didn't have any long-range attack moves yet. If he wanted to knock down the opponent, he had to get close. But when he thought of getting close, cold sweat broke out on Sword Demon's forehead again.

"Fireball..." Gu Fei suddenly spoke towards the crowd, but suddenly, a fireball quickly ignited in front of him.

Oops. I was so worried about that guy's melee ability that I forgot that he was a mage after all. As soon as the sword ghost saw the fireball, it began to move irregularly in an S shape before the opponent could send it out. He has seen the wizard in the game cast fireball. After the fireball is shot, it will track the target within a short period of time and within a very small range. As long as it does not get hit or run out of the range during this time, it is successfully avoided.

The sword ghost was twisting wildly in the open space among the crowd, waiting for Gu Fei to say the word "shoot". Unexpectedly, Gu Fei stared at the fireball in front of him for a moment, then muttered, "I'm not calling you, I'm calling that fireball."

"Suddenly" there was a sound. The first fireball went out, but then a second one ignited. The sword ghost twisted even more crazily. But Gu Fei's fireball still didn't come out, and he was seen standing there at a loss. Within a moment, the fireball extinguished itself.

You have to worry about his fireballs from a distance, and you can't get the upper hand in close combat, so how can you fight? There is no other way, this is the only way! Sword Demon thought that Gu Fei's repeated fireballs were just to contain his actions. Without waiting for Gu Fei to light up the third one, he also used his special skill. Sword Demon's figure gradually became thinner like mist. In a blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's eyes.

"Lurk!!" someone in the crowd shouted.

Stealth is definitely the trump card skill of the thieves profession, which is not surprising. What really surprised everyone was that stealth was a skill that thieves could only learn at level 24. Although they knew that the sword demon's level must be higher than theirs, they didn't expect it to be so much higher. He is worthy of being the number one player in the online gaming industry. Just now, everyone was worried about the sword demon being defeated by Gu Fei with three moves, but in the blink of an eye, they were full of confidence again.

In the world of online games, level can best explain everything. There is such a huge gap between level 24 and level 10, so there is no need to fight at all!

The sword demon disappeared from everyone's eyes. He hid in a certain position on the field and paid attention to Gu Fei's actions.

The sword ghost didn't use stealth as soon as he came up, all because of the mage's sixth-level skill: resist the ring of fire.

The characteristic of being latent is that once it attacks or is attacked, it will appear immediately. Although it is small to resist the attack of the ring of fire, its range is slightly further than that of full close range. Therefore, there is no way for thieves to get close quietly when the mage uses the fireball resistance.

Of course, resisting fireballs also has weaknesses. It has a skill time and a freezing time, and the time difference between the two times makes it impossible for the mage to ensure that he always has a fire-resistant ring on his body. During this time difference, it is a good opportunity to launch a latent close attack.

Sword Demon deduced two points based on his own experience. First, the junior mage PK will open the resistance fire ring as soon as it comes up; second,

The opponent must not have thought that he had mastered the hidden skill that only a level 24 thief could possess. Therefore, his original plan was to wait for Gu Fei to consume the resistance fire ring, then sneak up on him and deliver a fatal blow.

But now it seems that both of his inferences were wrong. Gu Fei did not activate the resistance fire ring, nor did he show the slightest surprise at his hidden presence. Furthermore, this mage's melee combat ability is even more terrifying than that of a thief. This is something that the Sword Demon cannot imagine without personal experience.

Forced by the situation, Sword Demon could only resort to lurking on his own at this moment. He believed that after seeing himself using Latent, the mage would immediately open the ring of resistance fire anyway. But his latency is three seconds longer than the time he can resist the fire ring. He will get closer first, and after the resisting fire ball cools down, he will use these three seconds to get close to and kill the opponent. Unless...the other party's resistance fire ring has been improved, and the time is longer than his own latency. But this possibility can be said to not exist. For a level 10 character, neither time nor money will allow him to upgrade any skill level.

By understanding the game, making precise calculations, and formulating the best battle plan, this is Sword Demon's consistent online gaming style. Even if the opponent is only a level 10 mage, he will not look down upon him at all.

Unfortunately, this time he made a mistake again.

Gu Fei still did not open the resistance fire ring, nor did he wander around the field to avoid invisible enemies. He still stood motionless.

"Has he not learned to resist the ring of fire yet? Or is he really an incompetent rookie?" Sword Demon was shocked and confused, but he couldn't miss the opportunity. He quickly approached Gu Fei and predicted that Gu Fei Several possible routes.

Gu Fei didn't move, not even a finger. Sword Demon even wondered if he had to stand in front of him and blow on his face before he would become aware of the crisis?

In the blink of an eye, Sword Demon had arrived behind Gu Fei, but Gu Fei still didn't react at all. Sword Demon has no time to think too much, his incubation time is coming soon, and he is ready to use the strongest attack he currently has, the rogue level 18 skill: backstab.

As the name suggests, this move should be performed behind the target. Can cause 200% + 40 points of damage under normal circumstances. Although the latent effect will disappear the moment the skill is used, and the exclamations of those around him will remind Gu Fei, at that time, his dagger must have pierced his heart. Fourteen levels apart, the thief stabbed the mage in the back, and there was no other ending than killing the sword ghost instantly.

No one in the crowd understood the changes on the field, and no one knew that the Sword Demon had already moved behind Gu Fei.

But at this moment, Gu Fei suddenly turned around and quickly stretched out his left hand. The onlookers couldn't help but let out incomprehensible exclamations. But then, the human form of Sword Demon suddenly emerged from the air. His outstretched right hand held the dagger tightly, but his right wrist was held firmly by Gu Fei's left hand.

The pictures in people's minds were fixed on this moment, but the changes on the field did not stop.

Gu Fei's left hand pressed and twisted quickly, causing Sword Demon's wrist to hurt and his fingers to become weak. He opened his palm and the dagger fell from his hand. Gu Fei bent his right hand to fish it out, loosened and tightened his fingers, and while dropping the hand-cutting knife in his hand, he caught the Sword Demon's dagger. Following the left hand, Sword Demon's right arm was bent behind his back. Gu Fei had already rushed over, raised his right hand, and placed the dagger across Sword Demon's neck.

These few blows by Gu Fei caused the rabbit to rise and the falcon to fall. By the time the people around him reacted, the sword demon had been completely restrained by Gu Fei.

The knife was held to his neck. But this is an online game, and no one knows whether this situation is threatening; but anyone with eyes can finally tell the difference between the winner and the loser.

"Ah! Beautiful!!!" The voice suddenly came from Fireball. Thinking that once Gu Fei was defeated, he would be the next target to deal with, which made him very worried. Seeing Gu Fei's beautiful victory at this time, he became energetic, clapped his hands and rushed out of the crowd and came to the two of them. He patted Sword Demon and said, "You are level 24, right? You were fucked by a level 10 mage. Are you convinced? Hahaha!" Fireball looked proud, as if he had defeated Sword Demon.

Sword Ghost's face was ashen, he was very convinced of his defeat. He even gave him the opportunity to lurk behind him and stab him in the back, but he was still taken down. What's left to be dissatisfied with? A level 25 thief can only do so much. Who is this guy? Look at the moves he used, they are not the skills that come with the game at all!

Being convinced does not mean that you are happy to lose. Sword Demon's heart was full of emotions at this time. In addition to doubts about Gu Fei's skills, he also felt sorry for himself. Thinking about the number one expert in online games back then, he was now defeated by a mage who was 15 levels behind him. Is everything he once had really become a thing of the past?

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden release behind him, and Gu Fei had already let go of him. The sword demon turned around, took two steps back, and looked at Gu Fei: "What's your name?"

"Thousand Miles Drunk!" Gu Fei replied.

"Very good. I will come to you again!" Sword Demon said.

Gu Fei nodded with a smile, and Sword Demon turned around to leave. Gu Fei suddenly called him, "Wait, your dagger." He threw it towards Sword Demon.

The sword ghost stretched out his hand to catch it, but was stunned. His dagger is called Frost Memories. In addition to damage, it also comes with 25 points of agility, 30% chance of critical hit, and 10% chance of level 3 freezing damage. It was caused by Sword Demon unintentionally taking advantage of the terrain monsters in the woods to kill a BOSS of an unknown level. Among the weapons currently announced on the official website, no one has attributes that exceed it. Sword Demon's face was ashen after losing the battle, and half of the reason was because the dagger fell into Gu Fei's hands.

But at this moment, Gu Fei threw it back into his hand. Sword Demon held it tightly, unable to believe that it was true. Nowadays, online games are filled with a large number of RMB warriors. This kind of top-notch products can be sold for a few months' wages of ordinary people. But this kid in front of him, doesn't he understand, or what's going on?

The sword ghost couldn't understand and didn't know what to say. He could only nod his head towards Gu Fei, thank him, and turn around to leave.
