MMORPG: The Elementalist Chapter 628

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Since Sinistress was in the tournament itself, she could only see Qin Ruo touching his own neck. The red mist that was shrouding Qin Ruo had prevented Sinistress from seeing the Eye of Galbis that had opened its eye.

However, Sinistress could feel that her opponent had a slightly different aura than before.

It was illogical for Qin Ruo to take unnecessary action at such a critical moment. What he did just now must be implying something that she did not know.

Sinistress swiftly calmed herself down after some thought. She then looked around the Mystical Sanctuary with a certain ferocity.

Boom!

With her strong spell, four pillars immediately collapsed, causing a loud noise in the surroundings. Numerous crushed stones were also created from the collapsed pillars.

Right after Sinistress finished doing that, Qin Ruo smirked.

“Now is the time!”

Qin Ruo instantly reactivated his Angelic Wings. He flapped the wings hard and charged at Sinistress.

As an Aquamancer, he was well aware that it was very exhausting for one to manipulate a huge elemental object by using ordinary elemental manipulation ability.

During the fight in Mythical Mirage's third phase, Qin Ruo had manipulated Frozen Arrow Arrays once. The combination of both magic cohesion and magic manipulation at the same time had cost him over eighty or ninety MP.

Despite that Sinistress manipulated the crushed stones on the floor directly, the MP she spent was about the same as Qin Ruo. Terramancer's sharpening and manipulating effect consumed a huge amount of MP after all.

Besides, Sinistress had destroyed so many big pillars at the same time, her MP consumption must be a lot more than Qin Ruo's Frozen Arrow Arrays.

Qin Ruo also realized that Sinistress did not use any potion at all.

“Two manipulations and two attacks had cost at least three hundred MP! Not to forget mana spent on dual defenses and the previous Tier 5 Offensive Magic. Hmph, you should be consuming MP Potion soon.”

Even if some of Sinistress' equipment had high MP buff, Qin Ruo antic.i.p.ated that it should be capped at below five hundred MP points only. When players reached the same level as Sinistress, none of them would actually pay special attention to their maximum MP.

This was exactly why the Eye of Galbis was useful now. It was able to absorb two MP points per second from a single target. This could be done sneakily without being noticed by the opponent.

At this moment, if he forced his opponent to use a huge MP consumption spell again, Sinistress' weak point would be shown automatically!

“…”

“Huh?”

Qin Ruo's sudden charge had startled Sinistress, but she was still able to react quickly. Numerous crushed stones were sharpened immediately and rose from the ground. At this very moment, Sinistress released a shocking aura.

“!!!”

A sharp howling voice sounded again and shook the entire sanctuary. The howl that stopped the Chaotic Rock Formation previously had appeared again. This time, the howling stopped the Chaotic Rock Formation even faster than before. When the crushed stones floated from the ground, the howl had stopped them immediately.

“Hmph!”

“What a little trick again!” Sinistress sneered.

This trick was effective when it was first used. However, Sinistress might have already come up with a way to counter it.

Without any slowdown in speed, Qin Ruo had charged into attacking range already. Instantly, Sinistress manipulated twenty or more crushed stones beneath Qin Ruo and shot him with the stones!

Sinistress' attack was riskier this time. After she released the attack, she would not be able to release any more attacks that could threaten Qin Ruo. However, Sinistress did not want to abandon such an opportunity to kill Qin Ruo.

“I will kill you with this one!”

Just as Sinistress was thinking that, a ray of blue light appeared in front of her.

Under Elemental Perception, Sinistress realized that the blue light was actually released from her body! It was as if something was flowing out from her body but she simply could not stop it. Sinistress could feel that her body was getting weaker. She started to become anxious.

The system notification alerted her.

MP exhausted. Insufficient MP to maintain Greenstone Barrier. Barrier disabled automatically! 

MP exhausted. Insufficient MP to maintain Greenstone s.h.i.+eld. Greenstone s.h.i.+eld disabled automatically!

MP exhausted. Manipulation power lost!

Intelligence connection suspended!

“…”

Many players held their breath as they watched the battle between the strongest from Angel and Demon Faction. After Qin Ruo swapped his necklace into the eerie one, he confidently charged into Sinistress' Chaotic Rock Formation. This had surprised the audience.

When the audience saw that Qin Ruo had used the same way to block the Chaotic Rock Formation and rushed into Sinistress' second wave of crushed rocks, they all started to cheer joyfully.

However, just as Qin Ruo was going to be killed by Sinistress, the situation changed entirely.

Sinistress, who initially had the upper hand in the battle and was going to kill Qin Ruo, suddenly felt something unusual happening to her body. Her body had suddenly released a dazzling blue light.

The blue light appeared quickly and entered Qin Ruo's body almost instantly.

Then, something unbelievable happened.

The powerful Chaotic Rock Formation, which surrounded Qin Ruo and were going to attack him, had suddenly stopped. All the crushed stones suddenly lost their sharpness too.

At the same time…

Sinistress' barrier and s.h.i.+eld were disabled as well!

“…”

Sinistress took a deep breath, her face paled, when she saw Qin Ruo heading toward her intently.

“MP exhausted…”

“Mana Drain!”

“This kid still has such a skill huh. He even dares to bring it along with him into this kind of battlefield to reverse the situation!”

Sinistress had nothing to say on her own behalf.

She did not summon her pet and neither did she release her full power yet. However, from the moment her MP was exhausted, she already knew that Qin Ruo would not give her any chance to reverse the situation.

Since Qin Ruo had planned to exhaust Sinistress' MP, not to mention that he had done it at such a critical moment, it was not possible that he would give his opponent a second chance!

Plus, Sinistress did not have any way to reverse the situation even if she wanted to.

An Elementalist whose MP was exhausted, was equivalent to a good-for-nothing.

Even though Sinistress' equipment still had some killer moves, they were useless without any MP. She could not cast Earth Release nor Repulsive Force… there was nothing she could do.

She did not think that her MP recovery speed would be faster than Qin Ruo's spell even if she consumed MP Potion.

On top of that, Qin Ruo was holding a Magic Scroll in his hand right now.

Sinistress would die even faster if she had the intention to take any action now. (It was useless for her to summon Pet right now)

“Formidable foe.”

No wonder he could become so famous despite being just a nameless Tier 4 Aquamancer. He could become Winter Demon that shocked the entire Mythical Continent.

“Savior and Death Jesus had underestimated him!”

Sinistress lamented deep within her heart, but at the same time, she was fired up to fight Qin Ruo again.

“The Grand Tournament is not the end, we will meet again someday!”

By then, she would revenge on what he had done today!

“…”

Qin Ruo was flapping his Angelic Wings and stopped above Sinistress. He looked like whatever that had just happened was nothing to him. But in truth, he was breaking out in cold sweat from what he had done just now.

When he saw Sinistress casting the second Chaotic Rock Formation, he knew that he had slightly underestimated Sinistress' maximum MP already.

However, there was no turning back on what he did.

Immediately, Qin Ruo decided to take a gamble.

Besides, the number of crushed stones was less than the previous one.

If the Mana Drain could not fully absorb Sinistress' MP, he could only use that skill to help himself escape. If that really happened, he would let Wandering Soul unite with the others and fight for the Golden Battle Flag. For he himself, he would stay and continue his prolonged battle with Sinistress.

But it turned out that he had bet correctly.

In just one move, he could disable Sinistress' attack and defense, rendering Sinistress helpless. At the same time, it also meant that he had won his second battle in the Mystical Sanctuary.

This battle.. had offset the regret Qin Ruo had on Mythical Mirage's phase four.

He had sighed in relief and slowly descended to in front of Sinistress. When looking at his formidable foe who was unable to fight anymore, he was suddenly filled with an inexplicable feeling.

Honestly, Sinistress' power and combat capability were about the same as his. In fact, Sinistress was even stronger than him at some point.

If not because of Sinistress' carelessness and was not aware of Qin Ruo's abilities, the battle's outcome might have been different.

Such a strong opponent defeated in just a short time. Qin Ruo felt that it was slightly unfortunate that it turned out that way.

However, since she was on the enemy's side, he would not let her go no matter what…

To show his respect, he used his strongest spell to kill Sinistress.

He sighed again and lifted his Enhanced Frost Witch's Rage.

“…”

Qin Ruo cast Fatal Frost Crystals to send Sinistress away. Without turning back, he activated his Angelic Wings and headed in the Golden Battle Flag's direction. Wandering Soul then followed behind him with his Black Flame Steed.

Killed an enemy! 

Obtained one point! Acc.u.mulated points–two! Golden Battle Flag's holding time–zero second! Current ranking in the Mystical Sanctuary–number two! 

“…”

The Golden Battle Flag was taken!

System notification alerted everyone in the Mystical Sanctuary.

Players who were fighting or heading toward Golden Battle Flag immediately looked at Mystical Sanctuary's map. Indeed, the Golden Battle Flag had started moving.

“…”

“Finally, someone has captured the flag.”

Netherclaw paused for a while and looked at the Golden Battle Flag that was moving very quickly.

“…”

“Not sure if it is him… No matter what, I must go and have a look for myself. It took me such a long time to obtain just one point. If I don't catch up now when there are still many people around, I might not have another chance later.”

Within the Mystical Sanctuary, the remaining players had all made their move and were headed in the Golden Battle Flag's direction.
