Chapter 932, Purification Totem

Translator: Silavin

 

In an instant, apart from Lu Fan, everyone’s expressions changed. Clearly, they had been Debuffed.

 

Lu Fan himself possessed 100% Debuff Resistance, so he personally felt nothing.

 

However, the Attribute Panel generated by the Mask of Deception was indeed somewhat affected.

 

Therefore, Lu Fan’s formidable ability to completely resist Debuffs remained imperceptible to outsiders.

 

Simultaneously, as the opponent applied Attribute-reducing Debuffs to Lu Fan and the others, another person also produced an enormous black iron great bow, nocking an arrow and aiming at Lu Fan’s group.

 

It appeared the opponent’s formation should consist of one Frontliner, one Buff Supporter (Buffer/Healer), one Debuff Supporter (Debuffer), plus one Range Physical Attacker.

 

This four-person combination was well rounded.

 

However, it still lacked one thing, which was Magic Damage.

 

Lu Fan did not believe the opponent’s team configuration would have such a shortcoming.

 

Most likely, that Debuffer also possessed certain capabilities in dealing Magic Damage.

 

Though not as strong as typical Mage, it should be enough to tide them through most situations

 

Right now, the opponent’s attack was about to arrive. Lu Fan naturally could not sit idle.

 

Since the opponent was the main trump card of a Hidden Clan, keeping them to let Jian Ying and the others test their strength was a great opportunity.

 

Within this, Lu Fan also needed to display a certain level of strength.

 

After all, Jian Ying and the others were already at a disadvantage in terms of Level. If they also suffered numerical disadvantage, their chances of victory weren’t particularly high.

 

What Lu Fan needed to do was simply perform at the normal level of a normal Fourth Profession Player.

 

He was essentially just going through the motions, ensuring the fairness of this match so Jian Ying and the others would not suffer.

 

Lu Fan tapped his staff, and another Totem rose from the ground, appearing in the centre of the four.

 

This Totem bloomed with Holy Light. The Holy Light directly dispersed the grey mist around everyone, restoring everyone’s attributes to normal.

 

Seeing the opponent’s Damage Dealer about to launch an attack, Tao Xiaoman acted first, thrusting her longsword into the ground.

 

In an instant, torrents surged from the blade, transforming into a great river that rushed toward all the opponents.

 

The opponent was battered by Tao Xiaoman’s Skill and fell into complete disarray, momentarily unable to stand steady.

 

This Skill combined Crowd Control and Damage Output into one.

 

However, the shortcomings of the Imperial Ice Sword God’s Profession Characteristics were also exposed.

 

Namely, this Skill’s Damage was not that high. It could barely pose any substantial threat even to the opponent’s Backliner.

 

Simultaneously, the Crowd Control Effect was not enough as well.

 

After staggering a few steps, the opponents recovered back to normal.

 

Their Archer had originally been charging a Skill. Interrupted by Tao Xiaoman’s Skill, it did waste a few seconds. However, the opponent also quickly recharged the Skill. Waves of black light gathered on his arrow. Clearly, this Skill’s Damage could not be underestimated.

 

The next second, the arrow was released.

 

The arrow, trailing black light, targeted Lu Fan, this support profession, directly.

 

The opponent’s objective was also quite clear: kill the Support first!

 

Lu Fan made no movement because, first, this arrow could not break through his Defence.

 

Second, if this arrow truly landed on him, then Jian Ying and the others need not bother with any Ancient God Divine Seat. They should just peacefully return to Dragon Capital University and be decorative vases.

 

As Lu Fan predicted, Jian Ying and the others’ defensive line was not so easily breached.

 

Jian Ying pointed with one hand. The Army Breaker Sword appeared from thin air, colliding precisely with the opponent’s incoming arrow.

 

As a Sword Tamer, Jian Ying’s control capability over her flying swords had long reached perfection. Intercepting the opponent’s arrow mid-air was merely child’s play for her. Even if the opponent’s arrow had sufficient speed, it would not get past her.

 

Moreover, the Army Breaker Sword was the most massive sword she had. No matter how powerful the opponent’s arrow, it could not possibly shake it. Therefore, the instant the two collided, the opponent’s arrow directly shattered.

 

Conversely, Jian Ying’s Army Breaker Sword still maintained its unstoppable momentum, targeting the opponent’s Supporter directly.

 

In team battles, when strength was similar, things became rather straightforward.

 

Frontliner were the hardest to kill. No one was interested in attacking the Frontliners first unless one team’s Damage Output was extremely fierce, fierce enough that the opponent simply could not withstand it.

 

Otherwise, the targeting priority was always: Support > Damage Dealer > Tank.

 

The opponent had two Supporters, so these two were the targets Jian Ying wanted to eliminate.

 

However, having Jian Ying’s Army Breaker Sword directly kill the Backliners was not an easy feat either.

 

Otherwise, the opponent wouldn’t have become the trump card cultivated by the Nichirin Clan with all their resources.

 

That Heavy Swordsman gave a low roar and actively attacked.

 

His body transformed into a phantom, using a Charge Type Skill to collide with Jian Ying’s Army Breaker Sword.

 

Before charging, he placed his door-plank-like heavy sword horizontally before himself, providing much protection.

 

Only a dull *clang* sounded. Jian Ying’s Army Breaker Sword was actually knocked away.

 

This Heavy Swordsman also retreated two steps, his face flushing red. Clearly, the recoil force made him uncomfortable as well.

 

But simultaneously, the opponent’s Supporter., the Healer, a small woman, flipped through her tome again. Two successive beams of Holy Light fell upon the Heavy Swordsman.

 

In an instant, the Heavy Swordsman’s Status was fully restored, returning to peak condition.

 

Just as this Heavy Swordsman was confidently preparing to launch the next Charge, two more beams of Holy Light descended.

 

This time, the Holy Light didn’t heal any of his injuries nor enhance his status, but directly blasted him away.

 

After climbing up, this person became furious and shouted at the small woman, “What are you doing!? Why are you attacking me!?”

 

The small woman looked completely innocent, spreading her hands, “It wasn’t me. There’s another Light Element Mage in the opponent’s team!”

 

The Heavy Swordsman looked up and indeed discovered that beside Lu Fan, Qin Qiu was waving her staff. Points of light gathered above her head.

 

The next second, these points of light shot out successively, targeting him, the Frontliner, directly.

 

The Heavy Swordsman was greatly shocked. Fortunately, at this moment, his Support also applied Enhancement Buffs to him, greatly increasing his Movement Speed and Defence.

 

He dragged his heavy sword, dodging and weaving, beginning to evade Qin Qiu’s Skills

 

When unable to dodge, he swung his giant sword to slash, using it as much as possible to absorb damage for him.

 

Thanks to having Support Profession Skill enhancements plus his own equipment being solid enough, Qin Qiu’s round of attacks truly failed to instantly kill him.

 

However, though passively taking hits, the Heavy Swordsman was not having an easy time either.

 

He immediately turned and shouted at the Debuffer, “Apply Debuffs to them and reduce their firepower!”
