Chapter 1 The Difference Between an Elemental Mage and a Thief

The difference between an Elemental Mage and a Thief: Thieves are known as the kings of the wild. They excel in field battles, moving freely, capable of stealth and concealment, and even their running speed is much faster than other classes. As for Elemental Mages, their win rate against Thieves of the same level in encounters is about 40%. However, they are not good at pursuit battles. If a Thief wants to escape, a Mage with short legs generally cannot catch up.

Watching his guild's players being slaughtered, Ye Po Sheng Gun was furious.

Thieves, so what!

Ye Po Sheng Gun rarely takes action, but that doesn't mean he's weak. He understands that a guild leader who only knows how to be brave and fierce is not enough. Even the God of War has times when they are defeated, attributes are mutually restrained, skills are mutually restrained, and there are too many classes.

Although he has considerable skills, he is definitely not invincible.

A guild leader who can win every battle is a great encouragement to the brothers in the guild, like Nie Yan. Nie Yan hasn't lost yet, so the morale of the Niu Ren Tribe is higher than ever.

But in reality, Nie Yan is walking a tightrope!

There are so many talented people in the world!

If someone kills Nie Yan, breaking the myth of the crazy thief's undefeated status, the myth will be shattered, the fanatical followers will return to reason, and their morale will be severely damaged.

He is more intelligent than Nie Yan. What a guild leader needs to do is not to be brave and fierce, but to maintain dignity and mystery.

Under normal circumstances, he would never take action. When he does, it is a guaranteed kill!

But now, watching the brothers he brought up being slaughtered like this, he finally couldn't bear it anymore!

Even a clay figure has some anger!

"All Priests and Holy Knights, give me buffs!" Ye Po Sheng Gun shouted, waving his staff. Violent magical elements quickly gathered towards him, his robe moving without wind, and he added several status enhancements to himself.

All Priests and Holy Knights began to cast enhancement spells on Ye Po Sheng Gun.

His attributes began to soar!

His aura was like a rainbow! Divine Prayer! Acceleration! Blessing! Prayer! ...

Instantly, he had more than twenty enhancement spells, his attributes increased greatly—Intelligence, Strength, Agility, whether useful or not, all were used on Ye Po Sheng Gun. Only about six boosted Mage attributes like Intelligence and magic damage, but even six was very strong.

The surface of Ye Po Sheng Gun's skin emitted a faint white glow—the holy power of Priests and Holy Knights!

Ye Po Sheng Gun waved his staff, and a magical element halo swirled around him.

Mana Burn!

Casting all elemental magic doubles the mana consumption, burning 2 mana per round.

Lasts 3 minutes, cooldown time of 5 natural days.

The mana slowly decreased. Ye Po Sheng Gun felt a scorching energy burning from his abdomen, and his attributes soared by about 30%.

All elemental magic effects are increased by 300%, Intelligence by 100%, and magic casting speed by 100%.

A powerful advanced state magic. This kind of thing is rarer than ordinary Elemental Hall magic. It's hard to say which is better or worse.

This Mana Burn skill is a bit similar to the skills attached to Nie Yan's Book of Order.

The Mana Burn state is difficult to maintain. Mages consume mana quickly to begin with, and doubling the mana consumption is too severe. Plus, mana is burned every round. Even a powerful person with over 2,000 mana points cannot withstand such consumption.

Speed of the Wind!

Speed of the Wind is a relatively good skill for Elemental Mages, increasing movement speed by 30%. Increasing running speed can effectively avoid Thieves and Warriors, preventing them from being caught. This skill is somewhat useful at ordinary times, but not very useful, because even if a Mage with short legs has a 30% increase in movement speed, they still cannot outrun the pursuit of Thieves and the charge of Warriors!

But now, the effect of this Speed of the Wind skill is completely different.

Movement speed is increased by 120%. That's about the speed of riding a good horse!

Ye Po Sheng Gun's movement speed soared, truly worthy of the name "Speed of the Wind."

Having buffed himself, Ye Po Sheng Gun chased in the direction where Nie Yan was. He was only about ten yards away from the Golden Land Dragon, but he ignored the Golden Land Dragon because he was bold and skilled.

The Golden Land Dragon's hatred was concentrated on Nie Yan, so he didn't have to worry about the Golden Land Dragon suddenly changing its target.

Rain of Ice Blades!

Based on the direction of the Golden Land Dragon's gaze, Ye Po Sheng Gun judged Nie Yan's approximate location. With a wave of his staff, countless ice blades plunged into the ground.

These ice blades were like tiny sharp thorns, dense and numerous, covering an area of about 30*30 yards. They landed on the ground with a series of "peng peng peng" explosions. Damage values of two or three points floated above the heads of hundreds of players below.

This Rain of Ice Blades did not cause much damage at all.

A mist of ice filled the surroundings. These tiny ice crystals adhered to everyone's bodies, revealing everyone's figures, including Nie Yan, who was in the middle of it.

This magic can reduce the movement speed of everyone in the area by -20%! But when cast by Ye Po Sheng Gun, the effect was very amazing, directly reducing movement speed by 80%.

Nie Yan discovered the Rain of Ice Blades covering him. Even if he was fast, he could not avoid it. He quickly drank a bottle of ice resistance potion. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and a thick ice fog filled the air. Nie Yan's movement speed immediately decreased by about 60%. What a powerful effect!

Nie Yan was shocked. This was the most effective Rain of Ice Blades he had ever seen! Looking into the distance, he saw Ye Po Sheng Gun's robe billowing, and magical halos swirling around his body. With just one glance, Nie Yan recognized what skill he was casting!

It was Mana Burn!

This perverted magic was constantly weakened in subsequent system updates, but it was still one of the most powerful magics of Elemental Mages.

In the later stages, Elemental Mages who possessed this magic accounted for only about 1% of the total number of Elemental Mages. Having Mana Burn at this level should be rare.

Before it was modified, the Mana Burn skill was truly feared.

Nie Yan's eyes narrowed into a slit, a murderous intent flashing through them. The Mana Burn skill has a very strong side effect: after it is used, there is a one-minute period of weakness, during which all attributes decrease by 80%.

But in the Mana Burn state, Nie Yan absolutely dared not compete with Ye Po Sheng Gun.

In fact, if he activated Divine Judgement, he could indeed be immune to Ye Po Sheng Gun's attacks, but Divine Judgement was still useful and should not be wasted unless absolutely necessary.

Extreme Ice Thorns!

Ye Po Sheng Gun waved his staff, and ice thorns shot up from the ground, extremely fast.

These ice thorns were extremely terrifying. If hit, one would be frozen in place and unable to move.

In a normal state, these ice thorns do not seem very powerful, because the attack speed of the ice thorns is too slow, and players have enough time to dodge their attacks. But with Ye Po Sheng Gun in the Mana Burn state, the attack speed of the ice thorns was very terrifying.

Nie Yan jumped and rolled out.

One ice thorn after another shot up from the ground, each about a yard long, crystal clear and transparent.

All of these ice thorns missed, but they continued to shoot up relentlessly.

Anyway, it was a low-level magic, the cooldown speed was extremely fast, it consumed little mana, the attack speed was fast, the effect was strong, and if it hit, it could freeze people in place!

Back then, Ye Po Sheng Gun activated the Mana Burn skill and used these ice thorns to nail a blood-tank Warrior to death in place. This is the terror of the Mana Burn skill. Any low-level magic, after being greatly enhanced by Mana Burn, becomes extremely dangerous.

Because Ye Po Sheng Gun's ice thorns attacked too fast, with very short time intervals, Nie Yan was almost hit several times, which shocked him. In his previous life, he had been killed by Elemental Mages using Mana Burn five times, but it was rare to see someone like Ye Po Sheng Gun using Mana Burn so fiercely.

After Mana Burn, the lower the level of the magic, the more aggressive it becomes.

For example, Extreme Ice Thorns, Fireball, and Arcane Missiles.

Ye Po Sheng Gun clearly understood the mysteries of Mana Burn.

Nie Yan dodged the attack of an Extreme Ice Thorn. Just as he landed, the ground under his feet trembled slightly, and another ice thorn shot up from the ground. Nie Yan sidestepped, and this ice thorn pierced up along Nie Yan's leg, a chilling aura radiating from it.

"He's there, kill him!"

At this time, the Mages disregarded their own safety and released magic to attack Nie Yan.

Nie Yan glanced and saw a large tree in front of him. He stretched out his left hand and shot out a strand of spider silk. The strand of spider silk stuck to a branch of the tree. Nie Yan pulled hard, and his body flew into the air.

He leaped about four or five yards and jumped onto the branch.

Everyone was slightly stunned. They did not expect Nie Yan to have such a skill!

What is this thing, spider silk?

At this time, the Golden Land Dragon breathed dragon breath downwards, with a loud boom, rubble and sparks flying everywhere, and a scorching heatwave rolling out.

Ye Po Sheng Gun did not expect that such an attack would still fail to take down Nie Yan. Mana Burn had already consumed all of his mana. He took out a bottle of intermediate instant mana recovery potion from his backpack, drank it, and his mana immediately recovered a lot.

It seems that killing Nie Yan with these means alone is not enough.

Ye Po Sheng Gun's magic surged, his robe fluttering wildly from the manic magic, and the staff in his hand emitted a dazzling light, like a celestial being descending from the sky.

Ye Po Sheng Gun and Nie Yan's eyes met, and a spark ignited in their eyes.

At this moment, Nie Yan, standing on the branch, suddenly revealed a brilliant and cruel smile, pointed his thumb down, and then made a throat-slitting gesture with his dagger against his neck.

The cold light of the dagger in Nie Yan's hand splashed out, his killing intent awe-inspiring!

Just like the scene when Nie Yan killed Hei Zhuo, the guild leader of Zongheng Tianxia. Seeing Nie Yan's cold smile, like the smile of the god of death, the surrounding air seemed to suddenly turn several degrees colder.
