Chapter 850: Fighting A Warrior
Ning looked at the two cards he had just received. Immolation was great, no doubt, but what about Flower rain?
Healing everyone around you, but your party themselves heal for twice the amount would be great, but Ning had no party here.
The card did say any ally, but he had none of those either. Besides, why in the hell would he ever want to heal Besailach?
“Activate,” Ning spoke softly to himself, immediately followed by, “Sacrifice!”
He activated Immolation and sacrificed Flower rain.
[Fate’s Joker (Uncommon) has been activated.]
[Each one of your attacks will now have a 12% chance to stun them for 2 seconds. Lasts 180 seconds]
‘Woah!’ Ning thought. ‘3 minutes? Is that because it shares the cooldown with the first skill?’
If that was true, then if there was a way to improve the first skill’s cooldown, he could have buffs or skills that lasted longer.
Although, Ning wasn’t sure he would like it as much.
The war continued as he fought against the humans that attacked him. Being both immolated and zapped from time to time, no one could fight against him for a long time.
That was until a man with a cleaver appeared in front of Ning.
He was a little thin to be carrying a giant cleaver the way he was carrying it, but since this was a game, who cared?
Ning got ready to fight with the warrior with his cleaver and… absolutely no armor at all. The man raised his cleaver and cut down on Ning, but it was so slow that Ning simply dodged it.
He stabbed the man in the chest, dealing his normal damage plus Immolation damage. Ning ducked away before another attack arrived and struck the man once more.
This time, he proc a Zap as well. The man burned slowly, and Ning wondered why he was even here when he was so slow and weak.
In fact… how did he even get in this deep?
Just as Ning was thinking that, the man struck once more. Ning dodged again, attacking back, and wondering, ‘Why is he not leaving yet? He knows he’s weaker than me, right?’
Everyone he fought before had left after realizing they couldn’t beat him as he was, so why hadn’t this man?
The cleaver fell on him again, and once again, Ning dodged and attacked.
This went on for a few more seconds, precious seconds which were bringing him closer and closer to not having any buffs.
Then, Ning started sensing something weird.
He dodged the man’s attack in the nick of time and stabbed back. He managed to stun the target for 2 seconds, however, the man got out of his stunned phase in 1 and a half seconds.
Then, he swung his cleaver again, and this time, Ning couldn’t dodge at all. The cleaver was too strong for him.
It was too fast for him to dodge.
Ning struck back with his spear at once, dealing mutual blows to each other as they both took hefty damage.
Ning couldn’t help but be surprised that he took 280 damage in a single strike. ‘Damn! What was that?’ he wondered.
As he was getting back into the fight, the man with the cleaver was already in front of him.
Ning jumped backward, but he was already up against many other demons, so there was nowhere to go.
As such, the cleaver landed on him, dealing another 280 damage to him.
‘Dammit! How is he doing close to 300 damage each time?’ he thought. Without Ning’s damage block passive, he would have taken all of the 300 damage without a doubt.
Sure, his DEF stat was low, but to deal over 300, the man in front of him would have to have over 250 stats in STR. Was that it? Had the man invested everything in STR, and ended up with a class where he didn’t have much in some other categories?
But from his own attacks, Ning could tell that the man had quite a high DEF stats too. Then why the hell was his attack speed so high now?
Surely he didn’t use any skills right?
Ning got out of the way as the next cleaver fell and hit the demon behind him. He had managed to dodge in time, which meant the man’s attack speed was back to being slow again.
‘What? Did his spell end?’ Ning thought and got back to fighting. He struck the man, dealing damage once again and shot him with Seed Bullet at close range.
Just around that time, his card effect ended and so did his buff. So, Ning pulled out another card, hoping this one would be helpful for him.
[Frozen Field: Reduces health and mana regeneration for everyone in an area around you, ally or enemy, including yourself. At the end of the skill, you receive 2% of all the healing and mana restoration that has been reduced in a single burst.]
Healing… he definitely needed that. He would get his Hp back if he could outfight the man in front of him for a while. So, he had to hope for the best and use this skill.
“Activate!”
A white halo made up of snow spread out from Ning, landing on top of every single person or demon in the area. They felt a chill and wondered what had happened.
Everyone around him suddenly saw a debuff land on them, which was simply irremovable. They noticed who had landed the debuff on them, as the ring of halo had yet to lose its light and so, all of them were now angry and hateful towards Ning.
Fate’s Aid activated too, allowing Ning to deal critical damage from time to time, but seeing how many people were now preparing to fight him, that seemed the least bit important at the moment.
The demons only shouted at him, not attacking at all, but the humans were different. Those who could attack from afar did so, sending arrows and skills toward Ning.
‘Shit!’ Ning thought. With no regeneration, if he took a lot of damage here, he wouldn’t be able to heal for a while.
‘Should I just run?’
