Amber Sword

This is just like how it was difficult for Ben in the beginning to use ’Guaranteed Hit’ Skill to control that Templar Rider through controlling the Law Threads.

Flame-haired Nicholas and the ’Curiosity Seeker’ Gallock didn’t even think about this possibility, so when that electric ring appeared around their bodies, they were caught off guard and crashed into it.

Ben could almost imagine their screams—even though both are prominent figures with tough personalities, they didn’t utter a sound—but this doesn’t mean they weren’t hurt. In fact, two bright electric flashes erupted in the sky above the battlefield, and when the lights faded, the ’Curiosity Seeker’ Gallock was alright since he was a Wizard and had many small magic items on him to help defend against the blow. Flame-haired Nicholas, on the other hand, was a bit embarrassed, as his beautiful flame-colored long hair was entirely burned away, exposing a shiny bald head that was still emitting wisps of white smoke.

It seems calling him Flame-haired Nicholas in the future would be a bit inappropriate, In fact, Ben already thought of a nickname for him—Ember Bald Nicholas.

Of course, Ben—or rather, Sophie secretly dark-minded, but let’s not dwell on that here. Actually, he had anticipated the encounter of Flame-haired Nicholas and the ’Curiosity Seeker’ Gallock. The Lightning Cage marks the second stage of Fury Adgar’s battle, and this world is indeed no exception. It is technically a BOSS Skill, and there isn’t much peculiar about it except its feature of ignoring the influence of Law Threads.

Perhaps only innate Law-sensitive beings like Elemental Creatures can create such fantastical Skills; the actual effect of this Skill is that unless you remain motionless within the range of the Lightning Cage, once you touch the electric arc, you immediately lose half of your Life.

Although the damage from this Skill can be absorbed by some Magic Equipment such as Shield Ring and Life Replacement Talisman, it nonetheless ignores all Defense and Magic Damage reduction. In other words, even if Ben’s Will surpasses 100, the damage he should endure is still the damage he must endure.

Back then, players struggled immensely to cope with this Skill because the electricity cage lasts for ten seconds and targets all of Adgar’s hateful targets on the battlefield. This means you cannot dodge within those ten seconds, and can only stand defensively against all of Fury Adgar’s attacks, which was utterly nightmarish for players back then.

But what amused Ben was that this Skill wasn’t that threatening to Flame-haired Nicholas and the ’Curiosity Seeker’ Gallock; when players first challenged this BOSS, their levels were far less outrageous than these two, one at level 70, and the other at level 71, while the highest player level back then seemed to be only level 55.

It can be said that Nicholas and Gallock were entirely capable of withstanding Fury Adgar’s ten seconds directly yet suffered merely from unfamiliarity with the Skills. Most of these Elemental Creatures hail from ancient times, their Skill Systems differ completely from the current ones.

Ben hadn’t even finished thinking when he suddenly heard thunderous roaring on the battlefield: "Hahaha, you foolish mortals." Adgar’s boastful laughter resounding boundlessly, seemingly delighted with its successful strike: "Under my Lightning Cage, you’d best wait for the thunderous Judgement. Acting rashly will only lose more than gain!"

The colossal sound echoed across the battlefield.

What the hell.

Ben almost spat blood, although this guy’s title is Fury Adgar, players actually always called it Brain Dead Adgar, this arrogant fellow has a terribly bad habit of showing off its Skills, apparently afraid that others wouldn’t be able to defeat it, yet unexpectedly behaves the same here.

Flame-haired Nicholas and the ’Curiosity Seeker’ Gallock are renowned Ambeser Masters with remarkable acuity; they exchanged glances and saw the same meaning in each other’s eyes. Sure enough, during the next Lightning Cage appearance, the two froze and remain immobile while Gallock cast Defensive Magic, temporarily rendering Adgar helpless against them.

At this moment, the battle had entered into a stalemate, but clearly favored Ben’s side. From the perspective of the Princess’s side, now was the optimal time to retreat; if Adgar managed to entangle the Northern Alliance here for a day, they might completely escape Ambeser.

But unexpectedly, Ben didn’t seem intent on retreating, instead complacently watching the scene in the pouring rain—what’s all this about! Her Highness the Princess was too embarrassed to instruct Ben to make a move, only calling Frey over to inquire about what’s indeed happening.

But unexpectedly, the Kingdom’s future Valkyrie replied naturally: "Ben is like this, unable to distinguish between priorities and urgencies. When fleeing from Buqi back then, he was nearly dead yet learning Battlefield First Aid from me, truly infuriating..."

That’s not what I’m asking about his personality!

The Half-Elf Princess sighed, having to clarify and said: "Frey, why don’t you go ask Mr. Ben if we should retreat first?"

Only then did Frey understand, earnestly nodded, and went over leading her horse to inquire.

"Retreat?"

Ben was momentarily stunned; at this time Mar Highlands Holy Temple Ruins this instance was already in combat status. According to gaming experience, choosing to leave the instance area at this time would become Adgar’s primary resentment; although Ben wasn’t sure if the real Vorn World had such an absurd setup, he wasn’t planning on provoking this somewhat unhinged Elemental bigwig.

"No, now is not the time to retreat."

"On the contrary, let everyone rest a bit, we’re preparing to face the upcoming battle." Ben raised his head, the Kruz people had yet to appear on the battlefield, he did not believe Flame Temple would let things go so easily.

Even taking a huge hypothetical step back, if the Kruz people didn’t intervene in Erune’s civil war, assisting them against a Wind Element would still be beyond dispute.

The great battle has only just reached halfway.
