Chapter 561, Profession Characteristics of the Space Mage God

Translator: Silavin

 

Hirata Jimei’s Skills got interrupted, and the threatening energy orb above his head dissipated as well.

 

The tall man and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

 

They were very familiar with their teammate’s Skills.

 

Although the Wood Binding Skill was merely a Second Profession Skill, its Crowd Control Effect was exceptional, with no time limit. For opponents to break free from its Effect, they would either need to be strong enough to break through it, having High Strength Attribute or have teammates that could help him escape.

 

However, the opponent was a Mage, which had Low Strength Attribute, and he had no teammates. Faced with this Skill, he should be Crowd Controlled for at least several dozen seconds.

 

In those dozens of seconds, it would be more than enough for a Close Combat Profession like himself to kill a Mage countless times.

 

Seeing that his side had gained the upper hand, the tall man immediately became smug. Dragging his long sword, he walked towards Hirata Jimei while mocking, “Did you really think we were naive children? We’re all top students from Kyoto University. An amateur like you, trying to deal with us, is just seeking death. You have really picked the wrong people to mess with! Perfect timing. Taking your head will reward us with a few Points, so you won’t have died in vain.”

 

At this moment, Hirata Jimei showed no sign of panic on his face. Instead, he shook his head and laughed, “You lot are truly naive. Did you really think I didn’t see that brat casting his Skill?”

 

“What?” The tall man and the others were stunned.

 

In the next second, Hirata Jimei’s body was enveloped by Space Principle. His body instantly vanished, breaking free from the Wood Binding, and appeared a hundred metres away.

 

At the same time, he waved his staff, and an energy orb gathered once more before being launched.

 

As soon as this energy orb was launched, it disappeared into a Transport Array.

 

Subsequently, another Transport Array appeared above the head of the Mage who had used Wood Binding earlier.

 

Before the latter could react, he was struck directly by this energy orb. Accompanied by a scream, he was blown away, his body charred black and without breath.

 

With one companion killed, the tall man and the others’ eyes widened in shock, their bodies feeling waves of cold from within.

 

Hirata Jimei casually waved his staff, his body flickering continuously. Each time he flickered, he would randomly teleport within a hundred-metre radius, as if constantly using the Mage’s Second Profession Skill, Blink.

 

“I am a Space Mage God. I’m capable of controlling Space Principle. Your run of the mill Crowd Control Skills have no effect on me. I was toying with you brats earlier. But I had enough already, now it’s time for you to meet your end.” With that said, Hirata Jimei began casting his next Skills, planning to give his opponents a quick death.

 

The tall man knew that his opponent would not spare him, so pleading would be useless.

 

They were the only thing that could save themselves.

 

“Prepare for battle! Although the opponent has a Hidden Profession and is of Higher Level than us, we have more people and have a more reasonable Profession combination. We might not necessarily be his match!” The tall man immediately gave orders whilst assuming a combat stance.

 

The three prepared themselves for battle. The short-haired woman also thought of Lu Fan, who had been teleported here with them and had remained largely silent throughout this whole ordeal.

 

At this time, Lu Fan was merely standing quietly, watching the two groups fight, showing no reaction whatsoever.

 

The short-haired woman assumed Lu Fan had been frightened senseless. After all, Lu Fan appeared to be merely a first or second-year student, younger than themselves.

 

Her attitude was rather impatient as she looked at Lu Fan and scolded, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help! Our enemy is a Player Hunter, who actually kills people! If you don’t help us, we’ll all die!”

 

Lu Fan merely glanced at her once and remained unmoved.

 

“Bastard!” The short-haired woman could no longer contain herself and cursed, “Are you bloody deaf!? Even if you’re just a Second Profession Player, you could at least provide some Damage Output, couldn’t you?! Are you scared just because the opponent is a Third Profession Player? As a Player, how can you be so cowardly?! If you won’t help, then don’t help. We don’t need a coward like you anyway! When we escape later, we won’t come to rescue you!”

 

The tall man coldly said, “At a time like this, why waste so many words on him? As long as we can escape with our lives, that’s enough!”

 

“Looking at him, he does not seem like any sort of expert either. Taking him along would only hold us back. We’re currently restricted in our Attributes, and we still can’t use our Third Profession Skills. Killing our opponent might not be easy, but escaping shouldn’t be too difficult.”

 

“After all, we have the advantage in numbers.” The tall man and the others had no interest in rescuing Lu Fan. If Lu Fan were a Player who appeared to have decent strength, they would be interested in cooperating with him.

 

However, Lu Fan was too young. How could someone so young be strong enough to stand behind them?

 

He would merely be a burden. It would be better to leave him here. Perhaps when their opponent found it difficult to catch all of them, he would give up and focus his attention on this person instead. In this way, their chances of escape would be even greater.

 

After all, they still had three people. Their numerical advantage was their greatest asset. With three people cooperating with each other, how could they fear being hunted by a single seventieth Level Mage Type Player?

 

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Hirata Jimei laughed, “Numerical advantage? Who told you there’s only me here?”

 

Just as Hirata Jimei finished speaking, a *whooshing* sound came from nearby.

 

The person other than the tall man and short-haired woman instinctively turned back, only to see a short axe flying from somewhere unknown, instantly cleaving into his head.

 

*Splurt!* The sound of metal entering flesh rang out as this short axe instantly cleaved into the person’s skull, causing blood to spray wildly.

 

The force of the short axe sent this person flying over ten metres before he crashed to the ground with a *thud*, having been instantly killed.

 

“Hirata, why are you fooling around? They are just a couple of weaklings, and you still haven’t finished them off,” A weathered voice sounded, followed by a figure slowly approaching.

 

This person was clad in animal skin, looking like a savage, with several short axes hanging from his body.

 

Without needing anyone’s input, one could tell this person also had a Hidden Profession. Looking at his attack earlier, although his equipment consisted of short axes, his Profession Characteristics should be similar to that of Archers. In short, he had a Profession specialised in Ranged Attacks.

 

His range was not as far as an Archer’s, but his Damage Output was certainly far more terrifying. Otherwise, he would not have been able to instantly kill someone here with a single axe.
