056 The Ability of the Spiritual Entity!

Multiple Shots!

The Elven Hunter Winger reacted swiftly. Seeing Outres and Stan transformed into sheep, she immediately tried to awaken them, but all her arrows were blocked by the magical barrier of the Vanishing Chamber.

Badge, Selfishness!

Outres, Stan, and Winger instantly activated their anomaly removal skills. Stan, transformed into demon form, attempted to terrify A-Soul, but was silenced by a counterspell. Outres summoned his pet wyvern without using any other skills. Winger opened a spatial portal and pulled Morning Breeze out.

Charge!

Morning Breeze burst onto the battlefield, charging directly at the enemy rogue “Chasing Time.” Immediately activating god mode, he unleashed Bloodthirst, Giant Strike, Thunder Strike, and Tiger Strike. In just one global cooldown, he reduced the rogue’s health by 70%. Once Morning Breeze’s cooldown ended, a single Fury Slash could finish him off.

The berserker in god mode was terrifying—someone like Morning Breeze who could nearly kill an opponent in a single strike was even more so. Chasing Time immediately used Sprint and Vanish to escape. If caught by Morning Breeze, it would be trouble.

Intercept!

With the rogue fleeing, Morning Breeze shifted focus to the Shadow Priest A-Lai. Before Morning Breeze’s intercept, Outres shattered A-Lai’s Power Word: Shield with an Judgment strike. This ensured Morning Breeze’s intercept would stun her. Despite A-Lai’s efforts to evade, Morning Breeze’s angle was cunning, and she was struck by the Brotherhood Sword, falling unconscious.

A single Fury Slash hit, sharply dropping A-Lai’s health. If either the main or off-hand weapon landed a critical hit, A-Lai would have been instantly killed—luck was on her side this time. The next moment, Morning Breeze was transformed into a sheep by A-Soul, wandering aimlessly. Outres, seemingly expecting this, threw a dagger that restored Morning Breeze to his original form.

Morning Breeze’s full ultimate was the best chance to turn the tide, instantly disabling two enemies with two strikes. With attack and counterattack, their side now held the advantage. Outres’s Storm Hammer began to claim lives. It was inferred that Outres had Gwen’s assistance; he rapidly closed in to bombard the Vanishing Chamber and A-Soul—both cloth-wearing arcane mages, relatively easy to kill. However, both had numerous rapid-cast slowing skills, each reducing target movement speed by 50% for 15 seconds. Outres cast Freedom on himself, Morning Breeze had Divine Descent, and their targets were Gwen and Stan.

Outres closed in on A-Soul, smashing his arcane shield with Storm Hammer. A-Soul absorbed Outres’s Freedom buff with a spell and then cast slow on him, halving Outres’s movement speed. Since slow could only be cast on one target, Stan’s slow effect faded.

Sheep Transformation!

After slowing Outres, A-Soul attempted to control him with Sheep Transformation. But Outres activated his rocket shoes, launching himself forward and striking A-Soul, interrupting his spell and preventing arcane magic for four seconds.

Similarly, the Vanishing Chamber employed a method akin to A-Soul’s. He stole Morning Breeze’s Divine Descent and applied slow, aiming to kite him at 8 meters distance. But Morning Breeze wielded Frostwind Surge, a ranged spell that also slowed enemies. This was now a contest of whose control was superior.

Morning Breeze’s counterattack disabled Chasing Time and Sand Beach, making rapid bursts difficult for them. They could only wait for recovery, harassing their opponents. Even with three clones attacking simultaneously, Mad Virus found Gwen a tough opponent. Since Chasing Time and Sand Beach dared not burst recklessly, Mad Virus’s role was to cover, awaiting the duel between A-Soul and Vanishing Chamber to decide the outcome.

“Fighting you feels pretty good!” Morning Breeze was in no hurry to kill the Vanishing Chamber. Arcane mages were the most unusual opponents, with the greatest array of support skills, usually aiding themselves. Alone, arcane mages were formidable.

Previously, fighting arcane mages taught Morning Breeze a rule: don’t rush. Despite their fragile armor and low health, thinking you can kill them quickly is misleading. Their survival tactics were diverse, making it difficult to land a sword strike. The more impatient you are, the likelier you are to err. Arcane mages had a high fault tolerance; they didn’t rush to finish fights but waited for opponents’ mistakes to seize victory.

Outres watched Morning Breeze patiently awaiting cooldowns for Charge and Intercept, wanting to curse. Outres could have killed A-Soul with his rocket shoes, but A-Soul suddenly produced five identical clones, leaving Outres bewildered. Remember, A-Soul couldn’t cast arcane spells for four seconds—how could he use skills? These clones were like projectors; a hammer passed through them harmlessly without breaking them. Most bizarrely, the clones moved freely.

Mirror Control!

This wasn’t arcane magic but A-Soul’s ability—a power to create identical moving clones that attacks pass through as if they didn’t exist. These mirrors had no offensive power, only meant to confuse.

Speed Control!

Even the leader was forced to reveal his ability. Chasing Time unleashed his own, breaking silence, then rushed Winger with shadow-like speed faster than Charge, aiming to kill her up close. But Winger backstepped, and upon landing, used her own ability to teleport 40 meters away, evading Chasing Time’s burst.

Confusion Ability!

The Shadow Priest’s power was confusion. Her eyes fixed on the pursuing elven rogue, and in one second she bewitched him, commanding the rogue to kill Gwen. Yet just as the rogue charged Gwen, Morning Breeze heroically leapt before him, punching the rogue in the nose. The sharp pain cleared his mind. The next moment, Morning Breeze charged the Vanishing Chamber, releasing a Fury Slash.

Bang!

Morning Breeze’s Fury Slash shattered the Vanishing Chamber’s clone like breaking glass. The Vanishing Chamber appeared behind Morning Breeze, nearly finished casting Sheep Transformation. Morning Breeze switched to Frostmourne; at that moment, Sheep Transformation failed due to his enhanced anomaly resistance. If he couldn’t resist now, he could have discarded the Blood Magic Ring, Frostmourne, and Iron Body.

Seeing the words “Lost” float from Morning Breeze surprised the Vanishing Chamber—his first failed Sheep Transformation. Morning Breeze seemed to anticipate failure and switched weapons.

Fear!

The Warlock Ya-An suddenly cast Fear on Morning Breeze, and this time the berserker did succumb. A-Soul’s ability was Precision Control—skilled with throwing knives, pistols, and sniper rifles. His weapons could sharply deviate on command, and few hunted by him survived. His precision control was somewhat like Metal Control but less powerful, more precise. For Morning Breeze to train Metal Control to that level would cost him dozens of times more effort and who knows how much time. Morning Breeze could control bullets broadly but not tweak subtle instantaneous changes.

Precision Control seemed useful in the game too—ensuring 100% spell success.

“Fool!” Inflicting fear enraged Morning Breeze. His Berserker’s Fury removes fear, granting six seconds of immunity and three Fury Slash chances.

Intercept!

Morning Breeze spared the Vanishing Chamber and dashed before Ya-An, striking with Fury Slash. Ya-An activated Endless Resolve, reducing damage by 50%, but Morning Breeze’s Fury Slash triggered the ring’s sevenfold critical, instantly killing him. Morning Breeze looted his dropped items, including a magic ring.

Arcane Judgment!
Shadow Word: Destruction!
Arcane Shock!

Three spells struck Morning Breeze’s back. Thanks to his Iron Back damage reduction, the damage was minor. Morning Breeze endured the attacks to kill Ya-An, still at half health. As he turned, A-Lai’s eyes fixed on him, attempting to confuse him. If successful, this fierce berserker’s presence would end the battle.

“You think those seductive spells can control me? My resistances are terrifying!” Morning Breeze knew it was an ability, but he deliberately called it a spell to sow confusion. A-Lai failed to confuse him; Morning Breeze seemed completely immune.

Possessing Soul Split ability, Morning Breeze would have died hundreds of times if confusion was effective. Even Alfie’s illusions had no effect on him, let alone confusion.

At that moment, a rogue in samurai attire suddenly appeared behind Gwen, striking her with two single-handed swords, slicing her health by half with a single skill.

Gwen, knowing she was ambushed, showed no fear. She opened a spatial portal, shifted into bear form, activated Survival Instinct, and became immune to 50% damage for six seconds!
