Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 18 Dark Ember Sword
in the night.

The battle between the players and the sahuagin has not stopped.

The screams and shouts of killing continued to fill the streets of the lower city.

The barbarian, who was full of arrows all over his body, frantically cleaned up the surrounding sahuagin fighters tirelessly.

With a huge body over three meters high, he swung the huge ax in his hand, and every time he roared and attacked, it was accompanied by scarlet blood splashing.

His whole body was covered with murlocs and his own blood, like a terrifying blood man, forcing those sahuagin known as "Deep Sea Devils" to retreat again and again.

The elf bard was leaning against the door of the bar, constantly plucking the twelve silver wires on the harp.

Accompanied by regular plucking, passionate music emanates from the harp in his arms. Because of the amplification technique, it is extraordinarily loud and can be clearly heard by every player.

This exciting music seems to be the last swan song.

These players who have been inspired to fight.

With a fierce look in their eyes, they forgot about death, pain and fear, and rushed desperately to the sahuagin siege.

shhhhhh!
At this time, the sahuagin ranger standing on the roof was disturbed by the music, and quickly noticed the culprit at the door.

They pulled the bowstring in their hands, and the cold arrows pierced the air and shot at the unsuspecting bard.

puff!

The elf bard felt the severe pain caused by the puncture, and the pain on his handsome face disappeared for a moment, followed by a relieved smile, as if he had seen through life and death.

Although the breath of life is passing away, he still maintains an elegant and calm smile, gently plucks the silver thread eroded by blood on the strings, and ends his life in this world with a smile on his face.

In the chaotic battle, Anderina looked at the sahuagin on the roof who kept shooting cold arrows. She waved the staff in her hand and began to chant spells.

Ding Ding Ding!
Feeling that the arrows were being blocked by the protective force field around her and gradually dimmed, Anderina remained unmoved and concentrated on preparing the spell that was about to be completed.

Just when her protective force field was about to shatter, a dark red fireball the size of a basin hit the sahuagin ranger on the roof with scorching heat.

——Three-ring evocation spell: Fireball!

As the most powerful fireball spell among the three ring spells, no one would question its destructive power.

Rumble!
The dark red fireball exploded suddenly, and the crumbling stone houses collapsed. Even the sahuagin on the roof that escaped by chance were submerged in the ruins, leaving only a few survivors far away.

When Anderina saw the few surviving sahuagin, she immediately waved her staff, and a nearly invisible protective force field appeared around her again.

Then when she was about to cast the spell again, suddenly a black figure appeared on the roof, holding a dark red long sword.

With every deadly swing of the longsword, a sahuagin, defenseless with a bow and arrow in hand, would fall to the ground.

In just a moment, all the threats on the roof were eliminated.

Thorne!

When she saw the opponent's face clearly, Anderina's beautiful eyes showed a gleam. Does his appearance here mean that the opponent has completed the 100-game winning streak in the bloody arena?

When Anderina saw that Thorne was not malicious, she was slightly relieved, and stopped paying attention to him. She immediately waved her staff and began to clean up the threat in front of her.

The lower city was invaded by murlocs, and there were fierce fights everywhere. When the almost beast-like roar and the violent explosion and flames of the fireball technique appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of Thorn walking in the lower city.

So Thorne rushed over immediately. He saw the almost stalemate battle in front of him, and he could see the threat posed by the archers on the roof at a glance.

Because among the nearly 40 or more players, at least half of them have never experienced battles, and the arrows howling in the dark are the deadliest to them.

Almost every arrow hit takes the life of a player.

Even if he was seriously injured and survived, he was quickly supplemented by sahuagin fighters who lost their minds.

So when Thorn arrived here, his first target was those murlocs who shot back.

At this time, Thorne stood on the roof, looking down at the tragic battle below. Because he had the dark vision of the elves, his vision was not affected at all.

When Thorne saw a sahuagin priestess taking out a fingernail-sized crystal sphere and casting a spell, his expression changed.

Because Thorne possessed spell recognition skills, he immediately guessed the spell that the murloc priest was about to cast from the murloc priest's spell-casting action and the spell-casting materials in his hand.

Three-ring spell: Hailstorm!

So he immediately drew out the composite longbow and an arrow behind him, ready to attack.

It's a pity that it was too late, the shell magic weapon in the hands of the murloc priest shimmered, and the crystal sphere vibrated violently, and was quickly frozen into basketball-sized hailstones at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Immediately afterwards, the murloc priest swung violently, and the cold hailstone quickly flew towards a wizard Pardo who was casting a spell not far away.

——One-ring spell: Arcane Missile!

Pardo casually shot two arcane missiles through the chest of a sahuagin in the distance, and was about to continue casting spells.

Suddenly, he was pushed away by the dwarf warrior Storm.

Then Storm raised the shield in his hand and gave a loud shout.

— Defensive posture!
His body suddenly raised a section, directly resisting the flying hail.

However, the moment the hailstone touched Storm's shield, it trembled slightly, and then numerous cracks appeared all over its body.

bump!
The bursting hailstones turned into countless sharp ice blades, exuding cold air and submerging Storm.

Just as the murloc priest's spell was cast, Thorne's arrows followed.

puff!

With the blessing of precision shooting, Thorn's arrows had a high hit rate, and the sharp arrow's powerful penetrating power mercilessly penetrated the murloc priest's chest.

The murloc priest's big eyes quickly lost their luster, and after struggling a few times, they lost their vitality.

Target is dead!
Extract the soul energy of the target and gain 800 experience points!
Through the comprehension of the battle, get 50 points of practice experience!
He has already mastered the defensive posture!Thorne glanced at the dwarf warrior in surprise.

Defensive posture: the dwarf defender can be transformed into a defensive body that is as strong as a diamond. The dwarf defender in this defensive state gains amazing strength and defense, but cannot move.

Dwarf defender is a unique advanced profession in the dwarf race. It is a group of professionals who specialize in defense, but it is a pity that this dwarf warrior named Storm has obviously not fully mastered it, and is just half-baked.

Thorn glanced at Storm, who was scratched by a large ice blade and lay dying on the ground, and shook his head regretfully.

Then Thorne put away the composite longbow, held the long sword in his hand, and jumped down to join the chaotic fight.

Because he had already discovered that a group of sahuagin warriors were rushing towards the wizard named Pardo, holding a trident and roaring due to the death of the murloc priest.

——Scary momentum!
Thorne jumped off the roof, stopped in front of several murlocs, and immediately activated the ability attached to his background specialties.

A strong invisible murderous aura erupted from Thorne, and fear quickly appeared in the big eyeballs of several affected sahuagin fighters, and their bodies trembled under the huge pressure.

Thorn took a deep breath, tightened the dark red long sword in his hand, and turned into a black shadow to meet him. In the shadow of his swift sword, several sahuagins who had no time to react were directly beheaded by Thorne on the spot .

The challenge levels of these murloc fighters are all around level 2, while Thorn has already reached level 5, which is a big difference between the two.

It was easy for Thorne to deal with the trembling murlocs, not to mention that he had a powerful long sword in his hand.

暗烬
Type: long sword

Quality: green and excellent

Features: sharpness +2, firmness +4
Special effect: Each attack adds 3 points of fire damage

(Note: It is forged from the Yuan iron that was salvaged from the molten iron lake in the Wanyuan Plain, but this forging technology needs to be improved...)
The material of the long sword was given to him by the old man to practice the desert wind school swordsmanship.

The desert wind school's swordsmanship is a supernatural ability to channel the power in the body and then transform it into flames.

But to channel this energy, a medium of flame is necessary.

When Thorn used the fire elemental energy contained in Yuantie to successfully cultivate into the Desert Wind Swordsman.

The remaining metal was forged into a long sword by the blacksmith player Broto, because Broto did not master the craft of enchanting and did not fully utilize the role of the deep iron.

Thorne can only make do with it first, and then remodel it when he meets a more skilled blacksmith.

After all, in the inheritance of Nine Swords, each school has mastered the method of making ancient weapons.

The long sword in Thorn's hand is made according to the pattern of the eight-faced Han sword in the real world, but in order to use it smoothly, the size is not so big. It is about 75 cm long and about three fingers wide.

Although he doesn't know much about swordsmanship, he likes the domineering appearance of the Han sword in the real world very much.

During the forging process, because the material of the deep iron is relatively tough, and the forming of the sword blade needs to be ground on all eight sides, the process is very complicated, so it took only one month for forging.

But at least it works well for now.

The 2 points of sharpness attached to Ember make it powerful against all types of armor except metal and enchanted equipment.

4 points of firmness can make it difficult to cause damage except for weapons of golden and legendary quality.

As for the 3 points of fire damage, it is the effect of Yuantie, a metal from the bottomless abyss.

If it is made by a master blacksmith who is proficient in enchanting forging, all the power in it can be channeled out, and it is not impossible to achieve purple and excellent quality.

Of course, there is no shortage of such master-level blacksmiths in the business district of Winter City, mainly because the price is too expensive for Thorn to afford.

The fight between the player and the sahuagin is still going on, but because of the existence of Anderina, a superhuman warlock and troll, the balance of victory has been steadily tilted towards the player.

At this time, Thorne noticed that the wizard Pardo beside him rushed towards a four-armed sahuagin not far away as if losing his mind.

So Thorn immediately rushed over, grabbed Pardo by the collar and threw him to the ground, and said coldly: "Do you want your uncle to die in vain?"

After speaking, he didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, and held the sword to meet the four-armed sahuagin.

Clang!
Thorne first used the short sword in his left hand to touch the trident on the lower two arms of the sahuagin, and then quickly swung the long sword in his right hand to strike the sahuagin's neck.

The two arms above the sahuagin immediately raised another trident to block the slash of Thorn's long sword.

Click!

It's a pity that the weapon made of wooden handle in the sahuagin's hand was cut off by Thorne's long sword in an instant, and then hit the murloc's neck.

Thorne swung his long sword and attacked again taking advantage of the situation, adding another scorching bloodstain on the neck of the four-armed sahuagin.

bump!
Seeing that the sahuagin was seriously injured and dying, Thorne no longer wanted to fight, and kicked it away to meet the other murlocs.

……

In the thick night.

When the last sahuagin was hacked to death by Thorne, the cruel battle between the player and the murloc finally came to an end.

It was a tragic victory. There were more than 40 players, only 13 people including Thorn remained. Everyone looked at the familiar figure on the ground, and their faces were full of despair for the unknown life.

Thorne bowed slightly to the barbarian TEDA, who was full of arrows and died in a fierce battle, to pay his respects.

Then he turned around and said to Anderina: "Winter City is no longer safe, anyone who wants to come, please follow me, I know a secret passage leading to the outside of the city."

After speaking, he walked forward without looking back. He didn't walk very fast. As for whether the players want to keep up, that is their own choice. The road is there. right to interfere.

Suddenly a strong light flashed above the wizard tower, so Thorne subconsciously looked up and whispered: "Is the wizard in the wizard tower finally ready to make a move?"
