Chapter 806: Fighting Requires Brain

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Ambilight was an Archer. Even though she was a female player, she carried a bright golden dagger on her waist. She carried a golden crossbow and all the other equipment on her body were also relatively gorgeous. She did not look any less superior as compared to Frost Blade so she was definitely not one to be offended.

In usual circumstances, there was always only one winner when an Assassin faced an Archer. After all, an Archer was a low HP job class. Even with the skills to dodge attacks, being able to deal with an ambush while being in a passive state required a high level of reactivity. Therefore, in the majority of battles involving an Archer vs an Assassin, it usually ended up with the Archer being stabbed in the back by the Assassin.

Nobody knew how strong Ambilight was but Darknorth Fisher was definitely a top expert with incredibly smooth movements. This was especially so when Darknorth Fisher even had his [Earth Elemental Technique]. Even Yang Nuo wouldn’t dare to guarantee she could survive while being ambushed by Darknorth Fisher.

Therefore, everyone was pretty confident towards Darknorth Fisher.

During the ten seconds when Wilted Old Tree was sent out, Darknorth Fisher quickly entered [Stealth] mode as he ran towards where the players from Team Peaceful would emerge. Just when Ambilight was sent into the scene, Darknorth Fisher appeared almost immediately behind Ambilight. He used his dagger to strike the back of Ambilight.

However, any team that was able to make it into the top 8 would not be a weakling. Moreover, everyone was well aware of a dirty move like this. Even though Ambilight was a young and pure girl, she would have watched video clips of her opponents to understand them more. After all, the only way to come unscathed through a hundred battles was to know yourself and know your enemy.

Naturally, Team Peaceful understood the style of these players from Quan Zhen Sect. Therefore, Ambilight was more than prepared for that.

“Dang…”

Just when the spectators thought that Ambilight was going to be stabbed by Darknorth Fisher, all they could hear was the sound of broken glass. A faint blue radiance flashed past Ambilight’s body as her health did not deplete at all.

Shield of Protection… This was a rare skill of a Priest which could allow one side to block a one time attack within 30 seconds.

Before Ambilight went onto the stage, she was actually enhanced with this skill.

Looking at this scene, everyone suddenly reacted to the situation. Wang Yu asked, “Did Wilted Old Tree surrender his match so he could let Ambilight block this strike from Darknorth Fisher?”

“True but also not true!”

“Human language please!” Wang Yu glared at him.

The fellas from Quan Zhen Sect had this bad habit of answering questions halfway. They seemed to have found a weird and disturbing satisfaction in people asking them questions.

“Hehe!” Spring Halo smiled faintly as he replied, “It is definitely their plan for Ambilight to block this move from Darknorth Fisher. However, don’t you guys think it is slightly wasteful?”

“This…” Wang Yu touched his chin, “En, it is indeed a little wasteful.”

After all, Wilted Old Tree was also worth two points. The sacrifice just for this block seemed a little too much. Moreover, the Priest was always outside with Team Peaceful so she could still enhance Ambilight with the skill before she went on. The same effect would have been achieved so it really felt as though Wilted Old Tree’s sacrifice was pretty meaningless.

Part of the reason why Wilted Old Tree’s surrender might be this but this was certainly not the main reason.

After the Shield of Protection blocked Darknorth Fisher’s first move, it bought time for Ambilight. Ambilight used [Sidestep] as she started running away from Darknorth Fisher without looking back at all.

Naturally, Darknorth Fisher was stunned. He couldn’t understand what Ambilight was doing so without much thinking, he used his [Stealth] to follow suit.

An Archer was the fastest job in <<REBIRTH>>. Once an Archer started running, no other job would be able to catch up with one. Darknorth Fisher, who was an explosive Assassin, was naturally only able to eat the dust left behind by Ambilight.

In a blink of an eye, Ambilight was more than ten metres away from Darknorth Fisher. Following which, Ambilight ran to the bottom of an abandoned arrow tower and started ascending the stairs.

When Darknorth Fisher arrived at the bottom of the tower, Ambilight had already reached the top. She started firing an [Arrow Rain] towards the bottom of the tower.

[Arrow Rain] was an AOE cover skill as over twenty arrows instantly covered the area beneath the tower. Darknorth Fisher couldn’t dodge them in time as two arrows struck his head. Following that, he hurried to the side.

Darknorth Fisher’s [Stealth] mode was not dismissed and Ambilight didn’t have any blind shooting capabilities. Therefore, she did not shoot anymore as she took aim at the staircase of the tower.

“This is bad! Old Fish is going to lose.” When Wang Yu saw how Darknorth Fisher was shot, he couldn’t help but cry out.

Logically speaking, the difference in capabilities of Ambilight and Darknorth Fisher was more than one entire level. However, the competition was limited by time so the players in the arena were not just competing in terms of life and death. Their battle tactics and damage down were also key components.

Ambilight already took the first advantage so as long as she could aim at the staircase well, Darknorth Fisher would have no chance to climb it. The success was undoubtedly within her grasp.

As for Darknorth Fisher… The moment he started climbing the stairs, he would expose himself to his enemy. The tower was 15 metres high. According to the unique characteristics of the scene, an Archer on top would definitely have BUFF. Hence, it was basically a dead-end for Darknorth Fisher if he chose to take the stairs.

Darknorth Fisher was not a weak player but he was never as tricky as the other players from the Quan Zhen Sect. Naturally, he wouldn’t have any dirty tricks up his sleeves. If it was the playful and scheming Fearless, they might still have a shot at this.

Indeed, Darknorth Fisher looked furious when he realised Ambilight’s intention. However, he couldn’t come up with any idea so after a few cursings, he clicked on ‘surrender’.

“Old Fish, fighting requires the use of your brain.”

After Darknorth Fisher was sent out, Ming Du teased him.

“F*ck! You have a plan to go up?” an unhappy Darknorth Fisher asked.

“This…” Ming Du thought for a while before asking Wang Yu, “Old Bull, I’ll give you a chance to show off. How do you deal with a situation like this?”

“Jump up and kill her!” Wang Yu wiped his thumb across his neck.

Darknorth Fisher, “…”

For a mere 15 metres tower, Wang Yu had at least four ways to reach the top so there was no point in asking him.

“Scram! Spring Dog, your turn!” Ming Du pointed his middle finger at Wang Yu before turning to Spring Halo.

Spring Halo smiled, “Old Fish, don’t you have your firearm?”

“En!” Darknorth Fisher looked at his secondary weapon.

“So you can climb up a few metres to shoot at her right? Given your health, you should be able to take in some damage and even take her down with your long-ranged weapons, right?” Spring Halo replied.

“That Archer is really proficient with her bow and arrows,” Darknorth Fisher refuted.

Spring Halo laughed and said, “You’re decent with your secondary weapon too. Her advantage over you isn’t huge so she will be more terrified of you first.”

“F*ck…” Darknorth Fisher was speechless as he lowered his head in embarrassment.
