Chapter 148: A Glimpse of the Ranger (7)
At this moment, Roddy looked at the words "Remaining Time: 3 seconds" displayed in the state in front of him, and the tension in his heart was unprecedented.
[Morochi's Blessings] brought the level improvement effect to double his attributes, and the subsequent 100 attribute enhancement effect made his panel number turn to an amazing value - not only that, the "Divine Art: King's Blessings" that Rubens just released once again brought a 2% increase in all attributes...
In other words, although Roddy's current level is level 15 and his basic level is level 2, in fact, his attribute level is not much different from Magda who is chasing closely thirty meters away.
However, the low attribute difference is not the reason why Roddy survives to this day. Because in the eyes of advanced players, attributes are just the foundation. Except for those "blood bull" and "dairy cow" professions, most professions often determine the winner in a few rounds, because once a certain attack hits the key point and a critical hit occurs, the damage caused is often dozens of times, and the winning rate cannot be calculated using theoretical values.
This combat mechanism well balances the game's attribute problems, avoiding the general long battle time of players in the later stages, but also makes the word "skill" play an unimaginable important role.
"Demon Hunter" level 15 lit up a whole row of "skill bars" for Roddy. In a hurry, Roddy naturally couldn't fully understand their role. However, as the predecessor of the "Ranger" profession, Roddy could directly recognize most of them and directly apply them to a handy application. Among them, what can make him last until now happens is a long CD (note: refers to "cooldown time") skill that once belonged to "Ranger" - "Speed Reaction" - "Speed Reaction"
The advanced profession will get a long CD "big move" every 10 levels. The effect of this "rapid reaction" is to increase the caster's reaction speed to surrounding things, lasting for 2 seconds and cooling time lUj.
It is precisely because of this skill that Roddy can barely capture the trajectory of Magda's arrows and frequently dodge successfully. So to outsiders, he seems to be at the same level as Magda, but in fact only Roddy knows that he can survive all the way now, which is a big part of the credit of "smart reaction".
Although [Morochi's Blessings] allowed Roddy to find a lot of the feeling of "Shadow Hunter" at the beginning, this did not allow him to fight Magda head-on immediately. Whether it was equipment or skills, he was finally defeated by Magda. If the only advantage was that Roddy once carefully studied [Windler] as an idol.
Magda's attack starts, skill usage choices, personal habits, this kind of thing is almost unchanged for the undead, so at this time [Windler] has no secret in Roddy's eyes. Even if the undead also uses a long CD skill "Quick Shooting" to chase Roddy, it will not be able to cause much fatal threat to him.
The two shot each other for a long time, but their bodies did not slow down at all. Within ten seconds, both sides actually stepped nearly a hundred meters between the rows of roofs. During this period, Magda took twelve shots, but Rodie took four shots, but twice effectively hindered Magda's offensive pace...
The distance between the two people has never been widened by 3 meters. This is a "golden distance" of the ranger's battle, that is, the side with the advantage of the weapon can completely "suppress" at this distance: if it is closer, it is easy to fall into melee battle. If it is farther, the advantage of arrow speed cannot be reflected.
And because of this, the arrogant and conceited Magda felt that he was going crazy at this moment.
Magda is not stupid. He knew that the guy in front of him had just suddenly improved his strength through some secret technique, and he would definitely not last long. But what Magda couldn't understand was how could the other party use such a ragged bow to successfully hinder his actions?
Bows are different from other weapons. No matter how powerful the player's attributes are, if you do not use special arrows, the speed of the same bow will never change much. What will only change is the damage value increased by the player's attributes.
In other words, even though Roddy's "agility" attribute reached the same level as Magda, the bow in his hand was just a level 10 product, and the speed of the arrow would not change at all. Compared with the powerful blue short bow in Magda's hand, Roddy's broken bow's speed was more than half slower.
And because of this, this is simply a shame for the [Winderer] who has a strong self-esteem - he was constantly restrained by a human soldier who was only twenty years old and kept holding it in "rags". When he said it, where would he put his face?
In anger, his arrows almost kept tilting towards Roddy, and buildings kept freezing and even collapsing under the frost arrows of Magda. The two of them rushed past the roofs on both sides of the road, but the sound of "crackling" frost crackling sounds kept ringing around...
"Remaining time: seconds"
Roddy looked up at the bell tower not far away in front of him, and glanced across the city wall in the distance, and could vaguely see a running figure - but in his vision, Rubens' figure in the plan was not seen...
"Damn it, hurry up..."
The eyes swept across the prompt bar of "Speed Reaction", and the frame with 9 seconds left was already flashing and warning. Roddy's heart was slightly cold--this skill is gone, I'm afraid that Magda's arrow will really not be able to escape.
what to do?
He quickly glanced at the four or five icons that he had never seen before in the skill bar, and also noticed that in addition to "health value" and "energy value", the "mana value" was full at this time - I think these are the skills that distinguish "Demon Hunter" and "Ranker", but Roddy, who was in a running state, had no time to read the skill description at this time. The only thing he could do was to roughly glance at the CD time of these skills - if the CD time was long, it means that the skill effect was powerful, and it might have a miraculous effect after use at this time.
Fortunately, among the strange icons, there is indeed a skill that can reach 6 minutes. The icon looks like an orange-red ring with the words "Arrow of Silence" written on it.
"Arrow of Silence?"
Roddy was so surprised - he only knew that only the "arcanist" could obtain a "group silence" skill through talent when he reached level 3, and the literal meaning of "Silence Arrow" is a... long-distance spell silence skill?
Thinking about it, Roddy's feet were not slow at all. He looked at the bell tower that was approaching and started the upgraded "leap" again. His body crossed six or seven meters between the two houses. He twisted his body in the air. With his "swift reaction", he avoided the three arrows "scattered" from Magda again. When he fell, he had already arrived in front of the bell tower.
All his movements were like flowing water. His skills, which had been unable to be displayed due to grade and attribute problems, were displayed without reservation. Because of this, Magda, who was chasing behind, felt more and more that the human in front of him seemed not as simple as he imagined.
The so-called "outsiders watch the excitement, while those who are experts watch the tricks". Being able to restrain oneself with a rotten bow already shows that the other party is very capable
[Windler] After living for hundreds of years, he has experienced countless battles. In actual battles, feint attacks, fake actions, borrowing positions to shoot, continuous shooting, scattering, and predicting blocking techniques have long been perfect. If the opponent is really a soldier who has never been on the battlefield, he was directly dropped as early as the third arrow, but the opponent is so experienced that he is unexpected. He does not take any shaking, does not put on a trap, and can even draw the bow and fight back with ease, which is accurate and unreasonable...
Who is this guy?
As a "ranger" who advanced to level 40, Magda used basically instant skills and skillful personal skills to chase after him. However, after spending more than half a minute, not only did he not kill the other party, but he was restrained by the other party all the way. Thinking of this, he could no longer swallow the anger in his heart. He stopped immediately, and with the chimney of the roof of a house as a cover, he raised his bow and focused on Roddy who ran to the bottom of the bell tower.
"Damn it"
Turning his head and noticed that Roddy immediately understood that this was a precursor to casting the "Guiding Arrow" skill. He lowered his head and rolled into the side of the bell tower, but he also understood that with the opponent's level, this "Guiding Arrow" would definitely be shot without any loss...
Roddy naturally knew the skill of "Guide Arrow" because it is one of the core skills of "Ranker": through 26 seconds of casting time, an arrow that can "turn" with the will of the shooter.
It sounds like this skill is not powerful, but because the "fatal blow" mechanism of "breaking soil" is not simply double or triple, and the damage of hitting the head, eyeball, and heart is definitely ten times higher, so the "guiding arrow" skill that directly increases the hit rate by several times suddenly becomes a guarantee of "high explosion".
Roddy knew even more that Magda, the "dark ranger", deliberately increased his skills in terms of talent, so his "guided arrow" casting time is only [75 seconds, and his damage increased by 10CD was reduced by half. For Roddy, once Magda's "guided arrow" was shot, his life was basically equivalent to leaving it here...
While his mind was moving, Roddy remembered the "Silent Arrow" skill he saw just now. At this time, he could only hold the mentality of being a dead horse as a living horse, and immediately raised his bow and turned around and shot.
In an instant, Roddy and Magda actually held their bows face to face and aimed at each other.
"Bang"
Magda stopped first to raise his bow, while Roddy was slowing down for half a second, but because of the delay in casting of the "Guiding Arrow", Roddy was the first to shoot the arrow out in this short duel.
Because "Silent Arrow" has no time to cast
When the arrows left the string, Roddy only felt something in his head trembling with the "buzzing", and the scenery in front of him became blurred. Then he realized that this skill actually consumed not "energy value" but "magic value" - because the equipment did not have "intellectual" and "spirit" attached, and after countless BUF bonuses, his mana value was not much, and he could see it directly after one skill was released.
However, he had no time to check the effect of the "Silent Arrow". As soon as the arrow made a move, he turned around and used the "Sprint". His body suddenly accelerated and he stepped on the wooden ladder that had been set up a few days ago on the side of the bell tower...
