Chapter 180 Brilliant Saber’s Might

The Holy Word Mage didn't have time to react. Several control-type spells required time to cast. Moreover, with the power of Brilliant Saber’s Man-Bull Strength, even if the Holy Word Mage managed to cast a control spell, it wouldn't be very effective. The Polymorph spell from earlier had already been resisted.

Brilliant Saber had been running Expert-level dungeons for so long. How could he not have some skills to rely on?

The extent of his skills even surpassed Nie Yan’s, and many of them came from Expert-level dungeons. At his current level, they were extremely powerful. His Strength stat also far surpassed that of any warrior on the field.

PK between players wasn't just about skill; it was also about each side's foundation.

Even if they were both Level 30 players, the equipment, skills, and stats of a player who usually just grinded mobs and leveled up were on a completely different level from a player who had crawled their way out of Expert-level dungeons. Even if their skills were similar, the feeling of fighting each other would be completely different.

All of Brilliant Saber's skills bore the mark of various Expert-level dungeons.

For example, his Man-Bull Strength came from Man-Bull Prairie, and was exclusive to the Expert-level Man-Bull Prairie.

After Brilliant Saber hit the Holy Word Mage, he used another Flame Slash, neatly killing the Holy Word Mage.

A warrior wielding a greatsword dealing melee damage to a cloth-armored mage was quite effective.

Two out of ten people had fallen in an instant. The remaining eight players from the Holy Roman Empire couldn't help but gasp.

The warriors charged up to intercept.

Shield Bash!

The heavy shield in Brilliant Saber's hand swept out, hitting a Berserker in the chest. The domineering power sent the Berserker staggering back several steps. Immediately after, he buffed himself with Cheetah Agility, instantly increasing his running speed and bursting out of the encirclement of Berserkers.

He lunged towards one of the Elemental Mages.

The Elemental Mage frantically cast Ice Armor on himself, then waved his staff, preparing to cast Immobilize once Brilliant Saber entered his attack range.

Brilliant Saber had just entered their attack range.

Demoralizing Shout!

Brilliant Saber's Demoralizing Shout caused the mages to falter, directly interrupting their spells.

Every one of Brilliant Saber's skills was used at the most critical moment. Combined with his formidable defensive abilities, it gave people a feeling of being unable to get a foothold.

Approaching the Elemental Mage, he performed a gorgeous Frenzied Dance. The sword energy from the furious flurry instantly pierced the Elemental Mage's chest, blasting him away.

-563!

Instant kill!

Brilliant Saber's Frenzied Dance was truly domineering.

At this moment, Brilliant Saber was like a god.

"Third one." Brilliant Saber's chilling voice was like a requiem from hell.

Everyone was shocked. This was an unquestionable instant kill. Brilliant Saber moved too fast. From casting Cheetah Agility to break free from the Berserkers' pursuit, to rushing over and instantly killing the Elemental Mage, the whole thing happened in two or three seconds, giving no one any time to react.

Just as Brilliant Saber killed the Elemental Mage, out of the corner of his eye, he saw another Elemental Mage not far from him casting a spell. It was Immobilize!

As the Elemental Mage uttered the last syllable, Brilliant Saber quickly cast a Level 6 Life Shield on himself.

A circular curtain of light enveloped Brilliant Saber, protecting his body. He was just preparing to meet the charging Berserkers when his body suddenly froze.

Immobilize took effect! For these five or six seconds, Brilliant Saber would be unable to move!

"He's immobilized! Quick, attack!" the Elemental Mage shouted. This was a control spell that he had finally managed to cast; it couldn't be wasted!

The other Berserkers weren't slow either; five of them charged up one after another.

Flame Slash!

Furious Blade!

The dense attacks struck Brilliant Saber, producing dull thuds. Under the fierce attacks, the immobilized Brilliant Saber constantly retreated under the impact of the violent force. Streams of magic bombarded Brilliant Saber.

-5, -6, -5…

"Damn it, can't break his defense!" Remnant Maple cursed in frustration.

Tendon Break was ineffective against Shield Warriors who had armored their entire bodies, so they could only use these ordinary attacks.

Brilliant Saber's defense was like an iron wall. His high Physical Defense and Magic Resistance, combined with the Level 6 Life Shield absorbing a large amount of damage, left the players of the Holy Roman Empire gaping at Brilliant Saber's defense. The attacks were ineffective; Brilliant Saber's health was only slowly dropping.

Although Brilliant Saber's health quickly dropped by more than 20% under the dense attacks, the team members weren't satisfied.

Seven people all-out attacking, and this was all they managed to do?

At this moment, Half-Awake Fox, who was watching the competition from the stands, suddenly stood up, unable to remain indifferent. He understood better than anyone what a Shield Warrior's high defense meant. A high-defense shield meant a countless stream of good equipment, quickly gearing up a large group of elite members.

"Is the effect of that Life Shield from the Eternal Set?" Half-Awake Fox asked. The effect of this Life Shield was too strong. It seemed he had underestimated the attributes of the Eternal Set.

Nie Yan hadn't expected the Level 6 Life Shield to be so strong, and it seemed to last for a very long time. He said, "It's from the Eternal Set."

"I want an Eternal Set. According to the price we agreed on, 700 gold coins," Half-Awake Fox said seriously. The role of the Eternal Set, currently, was completely worth more than 700 gold coins! If the Victorious Return or Holy Light knew they could buy such a set for 700 gold coins, they would definitely make a move without hesitation. Of course, Nie Yan would never sell to Victorious Return or Holy Light.

Brilliant Saber had fully demonstrated the value of this Eternal Set.

"I haven't collected the second set yet," Nie Yan said. Even Half-Awake Fox, with his good patience, couldn't sit still. Nie Yan understood that selling the Eternal Set to the Holy Roman Empire was worthwhile. In the conflict between the Holy Roman Empire and Holy Light, the Holy Roman Empire was at a disadvantage. If the Holy Roman Empire collapsed, then the Nirvana Guild would bear the brunt. Selling the Eternal Set to the Holy Roman Empire could increase their strength.

"Later is fine. I want the set when Undying War Slave reaches Level 30," Half-Awake Fox said. Seven hundred gold coins was painful, but compared to a set with such strong defensive capabilities, it was still worth it. When Undying War Slave was geared up, he could just kill a few more Lords to earn the money back.

"If you want it, you need to pay a deposit of three hundred first." Nie Yan didn't budge. Getting three hundred gold coins from Half-Awake Fox would give him more working capital.

"You're haggling over this with me…" Half-Awake Fox said, feeling frustrated. Nie Yan was too stingy.

"Even close brothers have to settle accounts clearly. It's up to you whether you want it or not. If you don't pay a deposit, I don't know if there will be an Eternal Set by then. Besides, there are other Shield Warriors in my guild waiting for it besides Brilliant Saber," Nie Yan said casually. He hadn't expected Half-Awake Fox to be such a rich man, willing to pay a price of seven hundred gold coins. He should have quoted a higher price. However, he couldn't rip off Half-Awake Fox too badly, since they had a cooperative relationship.

"Let's sign an agreement, to prevent you from scamming me out of my three hundred gold coins." Half-Awake Fox sent Nie Yan an agreement.

"If you don't deliver an Eternal Set in five days, you have to pay an additional two hundred gold coins as liquidated damages. You're too ruthless," Nie Yan said after looking at the agreement. In other words, if he didn't give the Eternal Set to Half-Awake Fox by then, he would have to give Half-Awake Fox five hundred gold coins!

"We're even." Half-Awake Fox chuckled.

Nie Yan thought for a moment. As long as he had money, he could constantly use Area-of-Effect magic bombs to farm Mechanical Automatons. Gathering a set of Eternal equipment was still possible. After all, the individual pieces of the Eternal Set were so easy to obtain, and he had already obtained so many components before. He readily signed the agreement, since not earning money when you had the chance was foolish.

At this moment, new developments occurred on the battlefield.

Brilliant Saber's health dropped by 39% before he woke up.

Brilliant Saber had thought that he would lose at least 60% of his health while immobilized. That way, he would still have a chance to turn the tables. He hadn't expected to lose only 37% of his health after being immobilized. He became even more reckless.

Blind!

Another Arcane Mage cast a Blind spell on Brilliant Saber, and Brilliant Saber's vision went black.

But he still had so much health; what was there to fear?

Although Brilliant Saber couldn't see, he could sense the Berserkers attacking him nearby. A Whirlwind Slash caused damage numbers of over two hundred to float above the heads of the five Berserkers around him.

Life Steal effect!

Brilliant Saber's health instantly recovered a bit, increasing by about 5%.

The Berserkers were speechless. They had worked so hard to cause so little damage, but Brilliant Saber had recovered 5% with a single attack. How could they live with that?

Demoralizing Shout!

Knockback!

The Berserkers also went berserk. Their violent attacks forced Brilliant Saber to retreat repeatedly. The powerful impact nearly made Brilliant Saber lose his footing.

Brilliant Saber roared and performed a Great Cleave, sending a Berserker flying away. Then, another Whirlwind Slash.

Retributive Strike!

Brilliant Saber swung his sword and sent another Berserker flying.

Despite being blinded, Brilliant Saber's attacks were exceptionally precise. After all, these Berserkers were all moving around him, so he could easily determine their positions.

Bang, bang. Two Fireballs bombarded Brilliant Saber, exploding violently. The raging power of the Fireballs blasted him back several steps.

However, the attacks from the Fireballs, although seemingly flashy, only caused damage numbers of over thirty points! It was like a tickle!

Brilliant Saber's Blind effect wore off. Of the five Berserkers, four were crippled and one was dead!
