Chapter 1 Magic from the Temple

Elemental magic refers to magic that has leaked from the Elemental Temples. Only elemental mages can learn it, and its ranks range from one to sixteen. The earlier Thunderclap Burst was the most basic, a level one elemental temple magic. It takes a long time to chant, requiring a series of syllables. It's useless in a one-on-one PK, and in a team PK, it's easily silenced by a holy knight, so it's unsuitable for PK. Moreover, the magic has a long cooldown time, requiring two natural days, so each elemental mage only needs one level one elemental temple magic for emergencies. Of course, high-level elemental temple magic, such as level sixteen forbidden spells, are another matter entirely.

As soon as Thunderclap Burst ended, Candy sneaked around behind a giant lizard, raised her dagger, and used a backstab on the lizard's head. The dagger slashed across, neatly finishing off a giant lizard with low health.

Flame Slash! The greatsword in Holy-Dark Sin's hand transformed into a huge flame. The blazing fire light swept down with the sword, killing a giant lizard with a bang, the flames burning it to a charred black.

Five giant lizards remained, pouncing on the three mages at the rear. Holy-Dark Sin roared, Taunt!

As soon as the taunt skill was activated, the five giant lizards immediately surrounded Holy-Dark Sin. -15, -16, -18, damage values floated above Holy-Dark Sin's head, but his defense was high, and the five giant lizards did not pose any threat to him.

The priest in the back cast Dispel on Holy-Dark Sin, removing the plague effect from him, and then a Heal, instantly restoring a large portion of Holy-Dark Sin's health.

Having drawn the five giant lizards, Holy-Dark Sin swept his greatsword, another Whirlwind Slash, dealing fifty-plus damage to each of the five giant lizards.

Su Yan and the other arcane mage in the rear continuously unleashed spells.

Holy-Dark Sin's tall figure stood firm like a rock under the giant lizards' assault. In the splashing blood, his eyes were filled with violence and bloodthirsty madness, like an enraged beast, inspiring awe.

Su Yan and the others couldn't help but tremble at Holy-Dark Sin in this state. Holy-Dark Sin, wielding his greatsword, was simply a slaughtering machine.

The only one who remained calm was Candy. She curled her lip. "Boring." She took out a piece of specially processed fruit candy sold in the NPC shop from her backpack and tossed it into her mouth, chewing. Entering stealth, she arrived behind a giant lizard and used a backstab on the back of its head, the dagger casually slicing out, causing blood to flow.

Holy-Dark Sin and the others coordinated skillfully, and in just two rounds, more than a dozen giant lizards had fallen.

Candy withdrew her dagger, calmly wiping the blood off of it.

"Tall one, there are no monsters around here. Let's change locations," Candy said to Holy-Dark Sin.

Only Candy dared to call Holy-Dark Sin that. No one else would dare. No one knew when Candy and Holy-Dark Sin had met, but when Holy-Dark Empire was dominating the previous few online games, Candy was always present.

Although Holy-Dark Sin and Candy no longer established guilds, their appeal in the game was still astonishing.

Holy-Dark Sin put away the greatsword in his hand and said to the others, "Everyone recover, and we'll change locations to level up."

The six sat scattered under a tree, eating bread or drinking spring water.

Following the sounds of fighting, Nie Yan ran wildly into the swamp, and six figures appeared in his field of vision.

Holy-Dark Sin and the others also discovered Nie Yan, and they quickly stood up.

Seeing the equipment on Holy-Dark Sin and the others, Nie Yan's heart jolted. A strong team of players. The snake lizard was getting closer and closer, and he couldn't worry about it anymore.

"It's a thief." Holy-Dark Sin noticed Nie Yan, but he would never believe that a thief could threaten them, because the strongest thief was in his team. Furthermore, with his health and defense, he could completely ignore any thief. So far, no thief had been able to defeat him, even if Nie Yan's equipment looked good. This wasn't arrogance, but strong confidence.

"Oh." Candy's figure gradually faded, blending into the green shrubs behind him.

As Nie Yan ran, he keenly scanned the shrubs in the distance. That thief's stealth was almost flawless. Ordinary players would never be able to detect him, but that didn't include Nie Yan, who possessed Super-Perception.

Seeing Nie Yan's gaze, Candy's heart stirred. This was interesting. He'd met an interesting fellow.

Ahead were six players. As soon as Nie Yan appeared, he sensed the hostility from Holy-Dark Sin and the others, but the snake lizard was right behind him. These six people would definitely not be so kind as to save him. To survive, Nie Yan could only use the strategy of diverting the trouble, leading the snake lizard to them! He'd use Holy-Dark Sin and the others to kill the snake lizard, in order to survive.

Nie Yan ran towards Holy-Dark Sin and the others.

Holy-Dark Sin held the greatsword, dragging it diagonally on the ground, standing less than two yards away from Su Yan and the others. He wasn't afraid of Nie Yan, but if a mage was approached by a thief, it would be very dangerous.

Holy-Dark Sin, clad in Death Priest attire, was like an iron wall, blocking in front of the three mages.

Holy-Dark Sin was about to swing his sword to attack Nie Yan, but the shrubs behind Nie Yan rustled. Holy-Dark Sin's heart jumped. Could there be someone else behind him?

Holy-Dark Sin suddenly realized that behind Nie Yan was not a player, but a giant lizard. Judging by its size, it was much larger than an ordinary lizard.

"Crap, it's a Snake Lizard!" Seeing the snake lizard's strange crawling manner, Candy gasped. He had encountered these terrifying creatures before. They were killers in the swamp, moving like the wind.

"Level seven Sub-Elite?" Holy-Dark Sin took a few steps back, securing a favorable position. If it were players, they could easily deal with them, but a level seven sub-elite wouldn't be easy to handle. The priest hadn't been resurrected yet, and it wouldn't be worth it if one or two players were killed.

Nie Yan ran towards Holy-Dark Sin and the others. The elemental mage behind Holy-Dark Sin waved his staff, and a Lightning Bolt fell from the sky.

Nie Yan's intention was obvious: to lead the snake lizard to them. Holy-Dark Sin and the others would naturally not be polite to Nie Yan.

Following the Lightning Bolt, Su Yan and the arcane mage's attacks followed closely.

The snake lizard behind him had already caught up, twisting its body and charging like an arrow. Nie Yan rolled, dodging the snake lizard's attack, and incidentally avoiding the lightning mage's Lightning Bolt, darting to the side. With a *smack*, a Holy Strike landed on Nie Yan.

-67.

System: The team to which player Su Yan belongs has attacked you. You have thirty minutes of justified self-defense time.

So much damage, Nie Yan thought in alarm, rolling again to dodge the incoming arcane mage's fireball, a dangerous aura radiating from behind.

A Thief!

Fa Biao De Wo Niu was late again.
