MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 844: Chapter 844: Impermanence

Prosperous Era Mage, no matter what, had not anticipated that the damage from the clueless Tonton could be so high.

Although he was arrogant, he wasn’t blindly so; in fact, he was a very meticulous person. To achieve a good ranking and to increase his own value, he would constantly watch other players’ match recordings apart from competing, even during the leveling up process.

Especially players like Tonton, who were not far behind him in ranking, he paid even more attention to and studied them, learning various strengths to empower himself, because he was very clear that only by continuously becoming stronger could he defeat one opponent after another.

Initially, he hadn’t studied Tonton in detail, but after seeing the information provided by the guild, he came to realize Tonton was just a girl under ten and started to pay even more attention.

You should know that most old people and children have joined the neutral faction, and that too in normal mode.

Only once children reach a certain age could they unlock the real bloody combat mechanics, and there weren’t none among the children and old folks who joined the opposing factions.

But all were very immature, and the likes of Tonton, a monstrous prodigy, were truly one of a kind; he was too aware that someone so young and so formidable had boundless potential for the future.

Therefore, he paid even more attention to Tonton’s matches, studying her tactics, and his targeted strategy against Tonton from the start was no coincidence.

Moreover, he realized that Tonton’s damage wasn’t actually very high, and even when Tonton changed her equipment, which reminded him, he didn’t take it seriously.

Only now did he understand the true meaning behind Tonton’s words—the difference between Tonton with the new equipment and without was like night and day.

As a new-generation expert, he indeed adopted an air of arrogance because of the influence of Prosperous Era, but he never slacked off in battle.

Despite facing a dire situation, he quickly reacted.

Ice Barrier!

Boom…

The Lightning Arrow from the clueless Tonton bombarded Prosperous Era Mage wrapped in ice, but the Ice Barrier, as an invincible skill for Mages, couldn’t possibly be broken by Tonton’s Spell.

Even adding the attacks from the Earth Element and Water Arrow were futile.

Shshshsh…

As he was encased in ice, Prosperous Era Mage’s health began to steadily recover; clearly, he had used an Inscription to strengthen the Ice Barrier, which allowed him to restore his health while invincible.

This kind of enhancement was indeed very practical, as it could indeed turn the tide in crucial moments, and with the invincible duration of Ice Barrier, it could effectively delay skill cooldowns, providing an opportunity for Mages to catch their breath during skill gaps.

Meanwhile, Tonton wasn’t idle, directly using a Healing Totem to heal herself and then swiftly placing more totems.

The four elements that had disappeared were summoned once again, and all four elements stood in front of the totems.

“Little girl, I underestimated you. I’m going to get serious now. Prepare to die,” said Prosperous Era Mage as he disengaged from his Ice Block.

His health was already almost full, and with an Ice Shield available, he was essentially back to his starting state.

The audience was captivated; the extended fight was utterly exciting, with the battle dynamics changing constantly, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats.

For the audience, this match, revolving around a stake of ten thousand Gold Coins, was truly worth it, but for Prosperous Era Mage and Beast Speaker—even though Prosperous Era Mage wasn’t instantly taken down—things still weren’t looking good.

Especially Prosperous Era Young Master, who was tense to the extreme. He glanced at Li Yao, who remained calm, cursing him a hundred times in his heart and nervously turned his gaze back to the match.

“Are you just all talk, huh? I’m so scared,” Tonton continued casting spells to disrupt her opponent’s rhythm.

Prosperous Era Mage used Blink to dodge, constantly throwing Ice Arrows to shatter the totems. The fifteen seconds he was frozen not only allowed for the cooldown of his abilities but also for Tonton’s.

Prosperous Era Mage rolled to dodge Tonton’s Lava Eruption and the Ice Elemental’s Water Arrow, then directly Blinked into the middle of the encirclement by Tonton and the four elements.

Blizzard!

Prosperous Era waved his hands upwards, countless shards of ice fell, and the four totems shattered with a bang.

The four elements also dissipated following this, immediately canceling the spell.

Ice Ring!

An icy shockwave appeared, and instantly, Tong Tong’s feet were frozen by the ring of ice.

Blink!

Prosperous Era’s figure flashed again, but because it was his third blink, his mana instantly dropped by one third.

However, he didn’t care anymore, as he believed the victory was already in his hands.

The reason he blinked behind Tong Tong was to prevent any last-minute surprises from her, specifically to forestall her from using a badge to break free from control. Tong Tong’s attacks were too ferocious, and he dared not take them on directly.

A streak of gold flashed by as expected, Tong Tong used her badge to free herself from the icy control, because she knew that the opponent was about to use Divine Soldier Freeze to immobilize her in ice. If frozen, she would have to sustain several times more damage from an ice wall attack in this vulnerable state, something Tong Tong wanted to avoid at all costs.

Snap…

The ice beneath Tong Tong’s feet shattered, and she quickly attempted to turn and attack Prosperous Era.

“Young girl, you’re still green. My Deep Ice Freeze has been strengthened. As long as you’re under the effect of icy slowdown, you can be frozen by me. Die.”

Deep Ice Freeze!

Tong Tong’s body was immediately frozen by Prosperous Era, followed by a barrage of ice spears.

Tong Tong’s health instantly dropped by one third.

Prosperous Era couldn’t help but burst into wild laughter, as Deep Ice Freeze could freeze for four seconds, enough for a mage to release five ice spears. Just one ice spear could remove one third of Tong Tong’s health, and five ice spears would be more than enough to finish her off.

Even the audience felt a tinge of regret. Although Tong Tong was young, she couldn’t be called weak, but one had to admit, Prosperous Era was stronger. Many sincerely sighed, truly deserving the title of the number one ice mage in Huaxia, overcoming such a terrifying attacker as Tong Tong and assured to go further.

In everyone’s eyes, the outcome was decided.

However, just when everyone thought so, Tong Tong suddenly transformed into a spectral wolf, leaping and dodging Prosperous Era’s second ice spear with a bound.

“Humph, do you think only your skills are enhanced? Transmutation can still break your control.” Tong Tong said as she turned back into human form, raising her arm.

Snap…

A totem landed behind Prosperous Era, and he felt his body sink, his agility decreased by half instantly—this was an Earthbind Totem.

Following this, Tong Tong began to cast a spell directly, and seeing the fiery red light flicker, everyone knew it was Lava Eruption.

At this moment, Prosperous Era, just like Tong Tong was before, found himself in a true life and death situation.

All the spectators were on tenterhooks, eagerly wanting to know if Prosperous Era could turn the tables under these circumstances.

“Young girl, I will not lose.” Prosperous Era’s brain was spinning madly. His situation was extremely grim with his Blink on cooldown, the invincible Ice Block on cooldown, and Ice Ring on cooldown. The main abilities cooling down had left him very passive, throwing him into a critical life or death moment…

ps: I’ve been in the Capital City for the past two days, so two chapters. I’ll continue with at least three chapters a day once I’m back home.
