Chapter 270 - Warm-up Match (9)
The Ranger walked up to the stage. He looked at the girl who was standing opposite of him, then he took a deep breath.
The reason he came up wasn’t because he was certain that he could win, nor because he had given up his pride. He only intended to give it a try. In any case, watching Nancy’s battle gave him a little information. The only thing he could understand was that the Cleric seemed to be able to affect other’s movements.
The Ranger also understood that the fighting method would highly affect a melee fighter, so he hoped that the effect on him would be smaller since he attacked from a range. He had attentively observed their battle, but Lize didn’t seem to move at all from the beginning to the end. She was mostly defending herself and almost didn’t attack at all. Of course, given the quirky style of a Cleric, it was normal for her to act like that. But how would she react to him?
Thinking of this, the Ranger felt somewhat excited. He raised his longbow and aimed at Lize.
Followed by the sound of the horn, the battle began.
Like last time, Lize quickly cast a shield and stood still, waiting for the opponent to attack her. The Ranger also had made a mental preparation, and seeing that Lize no longer moved after putting on her shield, his speculation had to be right. So he immediately raised his longbow and aimed at her.
Swoosh!
Accompanied by the wind, three arrows quickly flew towards her and were stopped by her Guardian Shield. Seeing this attack, Lize felt a little bit surprised and she tilted her head to look at the Ranger before her carefully. She made no further actions, only clenching her hands and placing them on her chest. Judging from her reaction, she didn’t seem to be doing anything.
“I’m doing this.”
“Holy Spirit.”
Seeing the pitiful Ranger, Joey made a gesture of prayer. Although no one knew the Ranger’s current condition, Joey seemed to realize what was happening. In fact, before the Ranger started attacking, Lize had silently cast a Guardian Shield on the Ranger. This was supposed to be a protection spell, but somehow, it had also restricted the Ranger’s movement. The same as what happened to Joey previously in the Mirage whenever he faced Lize. The situation might even worse since Joey wasn’t as stupid as to let fire arrows explode before him.
Looking at the pitiful Ranger, Joey closed his eyes and prayed. He had already known the match’s result and didn’t have to continue watching anymore. The battle at that time was extremely frightening even to the current him. It felt as if he were trapped and could only welcoming the danger without being able to do anything. Right now, that Ranger must have also felt the same thing.
Sure enough, at this time, a dazzling light once again gathered in Lize’s hands, condensing. Followed by the disappearance of the Guardian Shield, shining arrows flew towards the smokes.
The winner had been decided.
