Chapter 457: Chapter 457 Breaking the Demon
As the Crystal Ice Arrow shattered, clouds of freezing blue mist engulfed Robin Han.
With a smack…
Robin Han found himself encased in a layer of solid ice, his body frozen on the spot.
At this moment, Anisha was mere steps away from Robin Han, with her Magic Wand sparkling in her hand.
Lightning-fast ice spears bombard Robin Han, immobilized by the ice.
Thump, thump, thump, thump…
-658-658-658-628-624…
Anisha moved around, unleashing one ice spear after another.
“The combat mechanics of the ice crystal magic are pretty much the same as regular ice magic. Normally, the power of an ice spear is weak, dealing up to 200 damage is already considered high. However, against frozen targets, this spell hits critical damage every time, becoming slightly more powerful.”
As Anisha continued to release her ice spears, Li Yao continued to comment: “Robin Han was being too self-confident, thinking that he can be invincible just due to a piece of equipment; Anisha gave him a reality check.”
Serena asked, “Are you saying then, Hunter King, that Robin Han made an error?”
Li Yao nodded and said, “Of course he made a mistake. He could have easily dodged the initial Ice Arrow when it was fired from afar. But he committed the same mistake as his predecessor did – he underestimated his opponent, and as a result, Anisha managed to land a combo on him and halved his health. If he continues to underestimate her, he will undoubtedly lose.”
Little Ze also chuckled and said, “So, Hunter King, are you leaning towards Anisha this time?”
Li Yao shook his head and replied, “It’s too soon to tell who will win. Robin Han’s skills are not weak, and his equipment is very good. If Anisha slips up even once, she will be pretty much killed instantly. The two-handed great sword is not just for show; its damage is considerable.”
On the battlefield, Robin Han had already freed himself from the ice, and the smile on his face had completely vanished.
As he broke free from the ice, he once again activated his charge ability. Nowadays, elite professions generally have a two-stage charge ability.
But to everyone’s surprise, Anisha showed no intention of dodging, instead waving her Magic Wand.
As ripples of blue light then shone, the blue ice crystals around Robin Han quickly gathered into a figure in a flash.
As Robin Han was surrounded by a blue mist, some of it naturally drifted towards Anisha. Soon after, a blue water elemental emerged and blocked Anisha’s front.
Robin Han’s plan to kill Anisha once again fell apart.
The spectators responded with thunderous cheers. Anisha’s string of maneuvers was just too impressive.
They had seen how formidable Robin Han was, but they hadn’t expected Anisha to be this impressive.
“Anisha’s timing is impeccable too. Others summon pets to aid in battle, but she even uses her summon to counteract abilities. Truly impressive,” Li Yao couldn’t help but admire.
Anisha didn’t stop her maneuvers. The moment when the water elemental blocked Robin Han’s charge, she raised her Magic Wand high, and a wave of blue energy suddenly radiated from her.
Snap…
Robin Han’s legs were frozen, leaving him immobile.
Thump…
As Anisha blinked out, she released an ice spear, and a flash of blue light swept across her hand.
Robin Han roared defiantly, consumed by a fog of crimson.
He went berserk, and the ice beneath him instantly shattered. The icicle could not damage him critically, and his great sword glowed a purple-golden light, dissipating the water element with a single strike.
Indeed, it did not perish, but vanished into thin air.
Facing the audience’s bewilderment, Li Yao calmly commented, “Robin Han’s move was remarkable. If not for this fury, he would have been instant-killed by Anisha. The timing of his fury was simply impeccable.”
Ozawa chimed in, “Hunting King, no more suspense please. What truly happened?”
“Yeah, even an ice arrow under freezing conditions wouldn’t have killed Robin Han. Once the ice arrow hits, the freezing effect should lift,” Serena expressed her doubts.
The audience’s reactions echoed the same sentiment. Although they admired Robin Han’s power to make the water element disappear with a single strike, they didn’t understand the move.
“It’s simple, you all were focusing on Robin Han and failed to observe Anisha. Anisha just released two spells. The first was the ice arrow. But as there’s a trajectory to the ice arrow, the second spell, which should have been the Deep Ice Freeze, would hit first as it’s a spell that has an instant effect. If Robin Han was frozen, even for a few seconds,”
“He would have been hit by not one, but at least four ice arrows, instantly killing him. The ingenious part about Robin Han is that he realized this and immediately went berserk as he saw Anisha prepping for the Deep Ice Freeze. This action shattered the ice, rendering Anisha’s two spells ineffective,”
“When a spellcasting fails, the spell has a half cooldown. But, I believe Robin Han won’t give Anisha any opportunity. He used the special effect of his new equipment. If I guessed right, it’s the banishing properties of the two-handed sword.”
“Banishing?” Ozawa asked, puzzled.
“Yes, besides the banishing effect, I cannot think of any other way he could have made the water element disappear,” Li Yao replied with certainty.
As Li Yao explained, Robin Han suddenly made a great leap.
Robin Han’s body crossed a distance, his great sword fiercely slashing towards Anisha.
Anisha had just used Blink, and the cooldown wasn’t up yet. She couldn’t avoid Robin Han’s airborne attack on foot.
But there was no sign of panic in her eyes. She once again crushed a piece of ice blue crystal and threw it.
A massive ice shield formed by countless hexagonal ice crystals enveloped her. This was a unique spell of ice crystal magic, an upgraded version of the Ice Shield.
Releasing it consumed the crystal, but it offered a superior defensive power. Meanwhile, one of Anisha’s hands sparkled with a fiery glow, the other with an icy-blue one. She was preparing her spell, an upgrade of the Frost Fire Rocket.
Clearly, she had faith in this Ice Shield, which she believed would block her opponent’s attack and allow her spell to be released.
Before Robin Han could land, his great sword, shimmering in a purple light, collided with the Ice Shield.
The supposedly impenetrable ice shield disappeared like the water element, and Anisha took a hefty blow from the great sword.
Robin Han then landed, creating a ripple effect as the ground cracked beneath him.
Unprotected by her ice shield, Anisha fell into a brief daze, also interrupting her spellcasting.
But the fleeting dizziness was all it took to determine the outcome of the match. Robin Han quickly moved in, launching another Shield Strike to stun the recovering Anisha.
He then grabbed her by the collar, landed two heavy punches, and blasted her away with a third.
Just like slaying a sea monster, Robin Han leapt forward, brutally slamming Anisha onto the ground.
Anisha’s health instantly hit rock bottom, and she fell to one knee.
“Who’s next!” Robin Han pointed his longsword at the Guild Alliance, his arrogance knowing no bounds…
