Chapter 14: Killing
The movement speed of the skeleton guard was not high, barely on par with Lin Ling.
Lin Ling's elemental ray happened to have a rare "cold" effect, slowing down the movement speed of the skeleton guard. He took the opportunity to distance himself from the skeleton guards, running around the altar as he measured the speed of movement between the two sides, looking for the time difference.
As long as he created a time difference of 0.5 seconds, Lin Ling would be able to use elemental rays.
As he continued to run, he noticed that the Skeleton Guard was slow to turn, falling half a step behind him with each turn.
Opportunities are created by people.
Lin Ling took this discovery as an opportunity to constantly throw out elemental rays to harass the skeleton guards, wearing out the blood volume of the skeleton guards, but always maintaining the gap between the two, not too much of a stretch, nor a little shrinking, which perfectly reflected his profound attainments in rhythm control.
"Kite flying?" Breaking away from the battle, the strawberry nose who was sitting on the ground to replenish food recognized the dispatch used by Lin Ling, no matter what game it was, the ranged class could more or less use the advantages of terrain, skills and range to lead the enemy's nose and run, as much as possible to avoid letting the opponent hurt himself. This type of whipping is called kite flying, and it requires good skill and great awareness.
It's just that once this style of play is wrong, it will be completely overturned, as dangerous as walking a tightrope in the air.
Therefore, most of the classes that use kite flying are those with instantaneous physical damage skills, such as rangers, or thieves equipped with crossbows, which have a greater tolerance for error.
Strawberry Nose has never seen a mage who can use the kite flying technique so skillfully.
1780、1640、1550、1430……
The health of the skeleton guard continued to decrease as he moved, and Lin Ling, who had mastered the rhythm, also felt a little powerless. Lord-level monsters are extremely immune to any debuffs, and the three major debuffs of Elemental Ray, Cold Slow, Paralyzing Stiffness, and Constant Fire damage can only deal 5/1 to it.
And in order to maintain a proper distance, Lin Ling can be said to have done his best. All of his ranged attacks are based on plenty of mana, and without mana, he will become a toothless tiger.
When the Skeleton Guard's health dropped below the 1000 mark, he remembered the sound of a system prompt in his ears.
Warning: You are running low on mana.
Lin Ling used a mana crystal that had been prepared long ago to replenish the dried mana, now was not the time to save. It's just that his remaining mana is still not enough to fly a kite and put the skeleton guard to death, and the mana crystallization has a long interval of 10 minutes. He had to think of another way.
It would be nice if Strawberry Nose had a ranged weapon......
A ridiculous thought flashed through Lin Ling's mind. In the early days of lack of resources, which warrior would equip them with flashy long-range weapons! He inadvertently glanced in the direction of Strawberry Nose, and suddenly it occurred to him that Strawberry Nose didn't have a ranged weapon, but he did!
So why not let Strawberry Nose run with it? What about throwing a wand from afar?
"Strawberry Nose, charge, against its back."
Lin Ling's idea was not whimsical, the instantaneous hatred generated by the warrior's charge and slam attack was far higher than his own elemental ray, enough to pull the hatred of the skeleton guard from his own body to his strawberry nose's body. As long as Strawberry Nose can avoid the Skeleton Guard's backhand Flame Strike, things will be much easier after that.
Strawberry Nose is not a stupid person, as soon as Lin Ling opened his mouth, he understood what Lin Ling meant. He immediately unleashed a charge and slammed the moment he approached the back of the skeleton guard, dealing a rather staggering instant damage.
"Damn reptiles." The Skeleton Guard unleashed a ghostfire strike with a backhand, but Strawberrynose, who had been prepared, retreated sharply the moment he saw the Skeleton Guard's curved blade dagger glow with a dazzling red light, avoiding the fire.
The Skeleton Guard's ghostfire blow missed, and according to the ranking on the hatred list, it looked back at Lin Ling, and was accidentally looked at by Strawberry Nose with an axe on its back, and the ranking on the hatred list suddenly reversed, forcing him to turn back and continue to deal with Strawberry Nose.
"Pull away, it's slow to turn." Lin Ling took out the bones, turned on the shaped energy shot, and threw lightning beads at the bone guards.
Strawberrynose thoughtfully pulled the skeleton guard in a circle, occasionally risking a fire blow to slam its health.
"You all deserve to die."
After the psychic acolyte standing on the altar saw the health of the skeleton guard drop to 25%, he suddenly raised his staff, and a thunderbolt rushed out of the multicolored gems at the top of the staff, and countless mysterious circles of light instantly lit up on the ground around the altar, positioning the thunder.
"Avoid the aperture on the ground." Lin Ling shouted and jumped away, dodging the aperture that appeared under his feet.
Countless thunderbolts cleaved when the color of the aperture deepened, and due to Lin Ling's warning, Strawberry Nose also avoided the falling thunder, and was lucky not to be hit.
"Die!"
The psychic acolyte manipulates the thunder to gather into a shadow and shoot into the body of the skeleton guard.
Enhanced by the shadows, the Skeleton Guard's physique more than doubled in an instant. It abandoned the shield in its left hand and spun in place with both hands a curved broadsword as huge as a dragon's tooth.
Blade Storm!
The unprepared strawberry nose was only scratched once, and it lost nearly half of its health. He crawled to the ground and looked at the skeleton guard in amazement.
Blade Storm is a high-level warrior skill, a mere level 5 skeleton guard, how can it be such a trick?
However, Lin Ling was relieved when he saw the skeleton guard use this move. Both players and NPCs will move at 50% of their usual speed when casting Storm of Blades, and will be interrupted by silence and other silence spells.
The movement speed of the skeleton guard is not fast, and if you subtract it by half, it will be as slow as a tortoise.
Now what I have to worry about is the psychic acolyte on the altar who was originally a wall view, as a person who has come over, Lin Ling is very aware of the high-level magic of the lightning element system, and all of them are very IMBA map cannons.
"The power of the shadows is stronger than everything!" The psychic acolyte shouted and unleashed countless thunders again, having the previous experience, Strawberry Nose did not need Lin Ling's prompt, and successfully avoided the thunder.
The thunder still turned into a shadow and threw itself into the skeleton guard's body, and the enveloping area of the blade storm immediately expanded, and Lin Ling and Strawberry Nose had to cling to the altar tightly to avoid being blown by the blade storm.
At this time, the Bone Guard's health value was only more than 600 under the wear and tear of Lin Ling's bronze-level wand bones.
Lin Ling, who was using his wand, suddenly realized that the psychic acolyte was narrowing their dodge range and forcing them to gather together. If nothing else, the psychic acolyte will soon use a real means of attack.
Sure enough, when the Skeleton Guard's health dropped below the 500 mark, the psychic acolyte summoned the crackling thunder for the third time.
This time, the mysterious aperture that identified the landing point of the thunder was no longer distributed irregularly, but was very closely united in everything, turning into a huge magic array, firmly holding Lin Ling and Strawberry Nose in the middle.
"Presumably a swarm magic that hurts continuously, knocking the skeleton guards out with a slam blow." Rao is Lin Ling's experience is extremely rich, and he can't guess what kind of magic the psychic acolyte is using. He had no choice but to take the most compromising option, allowing Strawberrynose to risk repelling the Bone Guards, running out of the magic circle to prepare for the spell, and killing the Bone Guards before the third shadow formed.
Strawberrynose charged and slammed the Skeleton Guard's attack, repelling the spinning Skeleton Guardian and luckily interrupting the Blade Storm.
Lin Ling seized the opportunity to escape from the magic array, he targeted the skeleton guard, and began to cast ice shards.
Moments before his ice shard was completed, the psychic acolyte preemptively completed its magic.
Countless powerful thunderbolts continued to bombard the giant magic array that swirled, and each thunderbolt seemed to carry a powerful power that was enough to destroy the world.
Lin Ling only came into contact with the lightning that overflowed from the magic array, and he fell into a paralyzing effect, interrupting the casting of the ice fragments.
Strawberrynose was also surrounded by lightning, and under the influence of that lightning magic, the skeleton guard turned into a force field that constantly emitted static electricity, tormenting Strawberrynose's nerves.
"Don't stop attacking." Seeing that Strawberry Nose had a tendency to stop attacking and dodging static electricity, Lin Ling hurriedly stopped this dangerous move. Lightning's paralysis affects the character's movement and attack speed, but not the cast speed.
He prepares the ice shards again, shooting five freezing fragments to freeze the Skeleton Guard, slowing it down from absorbing shadows, before withdrawing from the group, throwing out an elemental ray and handing over the power to Strawberrynose for the final kill of the Skeleton Guard.
Strawberrynose's health has dropped to a very dangerous level, and even if the Bone Guard pulls out his hand and slashes him, he will have to lose all his efforts. Even so, he still lived up to Lin Ling's expectations, taking the risk of reducing the Bone Guard's health to less than 100 with two axes in a row, and then combined the Bone Guard with the huge shadow rushing out of the magic array to strike a fierce blow, slashing a key fatal blow that directly split the life spark of the Bone Guard and shattered the hope of the psychic acolyte.
Countless black lights pierced through the skeleton guard's body, and its soul howled as it turned into a shadow and returned to the world.
Strawberrynose relied on the experience he had grabbed to reach 58% of level 3, and he returned to Lin Ling's team, standing side by side with him, and looked at the psychic acolyte together.
