Chapter 41 The Other Continent
In the blink of an eye, Ye Ci was already 25m away. She did not stop there. She activated Stealth and disappeared into the gray map.
The Rogue was baffled. His second stunning skill, ‘Stun’ was ready but the target had disappeared before he could cast it. He then received a system notification: “Target has disappeared, skill casting failed.”
The scariest thing during a PK was not an opponent’s chanical skills or even their damage output, it was if your opponent disappeared and you could not spot them.
Ye Ci’s sudden disappearance turned the tables. The Rogue’s brief mont of hesitation ant that he had already compromised his position even after he turned on his Stealth.
Ye Ci lurked 25m away from the Rogue. She chugged down bottles of Health Potion while watching the Rogue closely.
In a PK match against a Hunter, one must be careful to not place oneself more than 2m away from the Hunter. A Hunter’s attack had a blind spot of 2m. If a target was within the 2m range of a Hunter, the Hunter could not launch ranged attacks against their target. A Hunter without their ranged attacks was no different from a bird that had lost its wings.
When one was in a PK match against a Rogue, one must always rember to not give the Rogue a chance to get to one’s back. A Rogue had a lot of control skills, once they got behind a player, the player would lose all initiative. Once soone was hit by a Rogue’s control skill, unless the player had so very OP items, the battle would be over then and there.
Ye Ci silently calculated the path that the Rogue would take and planted a Frost Trap there. She’d appear out of Stealth when she cast a skill. It was very dangerous as Rogues and Hunters shared the similarity of relying on agility. Both classes had high speed.
A trap needed three seconds to be completely set up. Within that three seconds, if the Rogue had an additional speed buff, he would be able to dash up to her and use a Staggering Blow.
That was why Ye Ci kept an eye out for the Stealthed Rogue.
In the last few milliseconds of the Frost Trap’s deploynt, Ye Ci detected a presence creeping up from behind her with her high Perception. The person pounced at her at high speed.
It’s finished... Ye Ci felt a chill creep down her spine, and her body dodged to the side out of reflex.
Miss!
The Rogue was disheartened when he saw his Staggering Blow miss at a crucial mont like that! It was a crucial mont, how could he miss it!
That was not as depressing as the fact that the Huntress dodged his follow up attack by lowering her body and rolling away on the ground.
If that was not depressing enough, what happened next would sink the Rogue further into depression.
Ye Ci’s movent caused the Rogue to miss and he stumbled forward due to his montum. He then stepped on Ye Ci’s Frost Trap.
The Rogue was instantly frozen in a huge ice block.
Ye Ci stood back up and imdiately cast a red Empowered Hunter’s Mark on him. At the sa ti, she released Ol’ Three and backed off.
A Frost Trap would typically last for 12 seconds. But if attacked, the ice will shatter and the frozen target would regain freedom of movent.
Since this was not a fight against mobs, Ol’ Three’s Taunt had no use. Instead, Ye Ci commanded it to cast a damage over ti (DOT) skill — Bleed. Ye Ci herself jumped onto a wilted tree and used Venomous Snake Needle and Rapid Fire on the Rogue.
The Rogue’s first course of action was to cast a Stun on Ol’ Three, then he headed straight for Ye Ci.
Despite his speed, Ye Ci remained calm. They were close to each other in terms of Agility, and she also had a slightly better Balance than the Rogue. However, when it ca to Speed, she had a Purple Equipnt with 7 Speed bonus. With the distance between them, as long as he did not possess and dashing skills, the outco of the battle was already sealed.
The Rogue had good equipnt as well.
Ye Ci’s excellent equipnt could only deal a little more than 400 to the Rogue.
Despite his high attack, Rogues were still glass cannons. After taking two to three hits that carried more than 300 damage, the Rogue’s lifeless body crashed onto the ground before he could get close to Ye Ci.
“You received Kill Glory 2”
Ye Ci was montarily stunned, he was a player from another continent.
There were five continents in Fate, the North, South, East, West and the Middle continent. The East Continent and South Continents were allies, players from these continents could not kill each other. It was the sa for players from the West Continent and North Continent. The Mid Continent was not open yet at this stage of the ga.
In contrast, the East-South Alliance and the West-North Alliance were enemies. Players from both factions could kill each other on sight. There would be no penalties, and they would receive Kill Glory instead. A player could exchange for unique PVP equipnt with enough Kill Glory.
Killing the Rogue granted Ye Ci Kill Glory. It ant that the Rogue was from either the West or North Continent. But what was a lvl 20 Rogue doing in the heartlands of the East Continent?
Since a player from a hostile continent ca here to give away Kill Glory, Ye Ci would feel really bad if she did not try and kill him a few more tis.
The mont the Rogue’s body fell lifeless to the ground, Ye Ci entered Stealth and dismissed Ol’ Three, it was basically a beacon announcing her presence!
Not two minutes later, the Rogue’s corpse turned into a pile of bones, and Ye Ci leaped out. She drew her bow and cast Rapid Fire at a silhouette not far away from the original position of the corpse.
Players who had just revived possessed only 40% of their HP and mana, which of course ant that it was easy for Ye Ci to make a short work out of him.
Puff, the Rogue dropped dead once again.
He was depressed. He had spent a great effort sneaking into the East Continent in search for so stuff. When he saw the Huntress, he thought that he could take her down easily because her equipnt appeared to be low tier. He had not expected to run into soone so tenacious.
He was sure that his skills were on par with the Huntress, but... she seed to have so very good equipnt. He misjudged her strength and had paid the price.
If the Rogue knew that he would end up like this, he would have definitely avoided the Huntress.
East Continent NPCs were hostile towards him. He could not repair his broken equipnt in the city if they were damaged too much or if he had died too many tis. He was glad that his items had not drop, and decided to just stay on the ground.
Ye Ci crouched on the branch of a nearby tree, staring at the Rogue’s corpse. He did not even move for a full ten minutes. He realized that Ye Ci was camping nearby.
Just as Ye Ci was hesitating on whether to continue camping the Rogue or not, a few ssenger pigeons flew towards her.
Ye Ci deactivated Stealth and received the letters sent by the pigeons. The Rogue that was lying on the ground had a 360 degree field of vision after he diedt. He finally saw the Huntress on a branch 23m away from him. He was glad that he had not imdiately revived himself again.
The letters were from Ideal Height 1.7m and Let Go Of That Girl. They were asking if she was okay, they sounded worried.
Ye Ci was touched. A warmth that she could not describe crept up her heart. To not further worry her two companions, she replied to the letter and told them that she was safe.
“Gongzi You, where are you right now?” Ye Ci’s private ssage channel rang up. It was Peacock Blue. After she muted Peacock Blue for the first ti, the system would automatically unmute her after 72 hours and Peacock Blue could send her private ssages once again.
However, Peacock Blue appeared to be different. She did not act high and mighty, nor did she actas if she was superior to Ye Ci. Her tone was so ordinary that Ye Ci nearly mistook her for a stranger. Although Ye Ci had never liked Peacock Blue, but since she decided not to find fault with Ye Ci this ti, Ye Ci would not do anything to provoke her either.
“I’m in the Desolate Lands.”
“The Desolate Lands?” Peacock Blue was obviously surprised by Ye Ci’s answer. She mumbled to herself for a mont and did not try to question Ye Ci any further. She imdiately stated her reason for contacting Ye Ci, “the Guild will challenge the Automaton Formation in three hours, are you free?””
“I’m free.” Ye Ci calculated the ti it would take her to return to the Chilly Wetlands dungeon before she gave Peacock Blue an answer.
“I have a spot for you, are you coming?” Peacock Blue still acted as if it was just official business, her voice did not betray any emotion.
“Sure, but I might be slightly late.”
After receiving a reply from Ye Ci, Peacock Blue imdiately ended the conversation. It seed that she was not happy to have to talk to Ye Ci, but to Ye Ci, it did not matter.
Knowing that, she did not have anymore ti to waste on the Rogue. Ye Ci jumped down from the tree and said to the Rogue, “There’s sothing that I need to do, let’s fight again so other ti!” then she left.
The Rogue revived right after Ye Ci left. But before he could stand still, he heard another puff, and he dropped dead again!
“Aren’t you supposed to be gone already!” the Rogue could not hold himself back anymore and shouted at Ye Ci.
“To tell you the truth, even if soone gave up on camping you, you shouldn’t revive so quickly you know.” Ye Ci grinned at the Rogue from 20m away. She summoned her steed and waved gracefully at the Rogue, “This ti I’m gone for real!”
