Thousands of dots of light shone again in Festaland. The light which was the teleportation effect of the players who were killed in the match.
Within ten minutes it had fallen by as many as a hundred thousand players. The match is ongoing and nothing has been shown to be coming to an end.
But some of the arena matches have shown the champion, they are the strongest players from every area that other participants are starting to watch out for.
Some players give up against the champions, but others choose to fight.
***
Standing in the middle of the area, Estrid stared at the players who were still motionless from her place. The axe of Jarnbjorn (pronounced Yarnbyorn) whose blade was so cold it was ready to show its surprise.
The players looked at each other, they nodded simultaneously, as if agreement had occurred from a glance without conversation.
Those players in the arena had agreed that defeating the werewolf with an axe weapon was a top priority, as he was considered too dangerous.
“Nice...” mumble Estrid with a big smile.
“Darkness hunter!”
“Strisk shots!”
“Fireland!”
“Ice Castle!”
“Wind Explosion!”
Various magic and arrows were released by the players for the woman. Estrid immediately defended with the guardian's shield, but her position in the middle certainly made Estrid targeted from all angles, so the small shield was unlikely to protect her from all incoming attacks.
But it wasn't a big deal for Estrid.
Using the Counter effect on the guardian shield, Estrid resisted several magic attacks up to the arrows, making the attack return to its owner. Some players were shocked when the attack aimed at Estrid turned against them.
However all the Counter reversal attacks and evasive attempts that Estrid made, were not enough to withstand all the attacks that came. His body was covered in his own blood, some magic and arrows injured him making Estrid look so terrible.
The magic attack from the witches stopped because their skill entered a period of pause (Cooldown). While the archers run out of arrows so need to take the others from storage.
The first wave of attacks ended, but Estrid was still able to stand. Other players do not know how much health Estrid left, but looking at all the injuries suffered by the woman, they also think if her health is below 20%.
Estrid was silent as she closed her eyes, every player who saw her thought she had resigned herself to her defeat. But what Estrid really thinks is...
“This feels like..”
Each player was again alert when he saw Estrid could still move.
“...Amazing disappointment.”
Estrid held onto Jarnbjorn tightly, then what happened next shocked every player. Without using the potions, the wounds suffered by Estrid began to heal, they did not see if he used any healing skills.
“The attacks you gave are very lousy.”
Like a masoqis, Estrid felt disappointed by the pain she received from the players unlike she had imagined.
“You have to do harder if you want to make me out!.” a border that sounds a bit ambiguous.
But Estrid's words are the truth. In order to counter the healing abilities he had, each player had to desperately attack him quickly and forcefully before the healing effect was activated.
“Let me show you what an actual attack looks like.”
Estrid tightened the grip on her axe, quickly covering the entire piece of ice. Seeing that all players realized that Estrid was charging magic on her weapon.
Players certainly did not stay silent, those who had frontline jobs such as knights, warriors, brawlers and such immediately invaded Estrid. While players with job mage, Archer, and healer try to provide support.
“You are late...” said Estrid on each player. His hair slowly became brownish, the woman's anger not completely expelled. Lightning flashed from the frozen axe.
“Frost Thunder Circle Slash!.”
Estrid turned 360 degrees as she swung her axe. Super cold waves with streams of lightning began to spread out in full circles. Players in the front row get fatal injuries due to the Estrid attack.
“What kind of damage is this!.”
Players who were hit by the attacks were made very surprised when they saw their health reduced by between thirty to fifty percent, there were even some who instantly died due to their extremely low levels and health.
“Frostbite and Paralysis? Just be right!.”
“Sial, I'll be an Ice sculpture!.”
“Can't move!”
“.Stone.... i.... petrified!”
Those who managed to survive Estrid's attack did not necessarily feel better. They suffer from two very detrimental effects: frostbite and paralysis.
Frostbite (winter) will make the sufferer experience a decrease in speed of movement, and if the effect is getting worse then the player's health will begin to decrease.
To eliminate the effects of Frostbite the player must be near the heat source, or the easy way home is to keep moving so that the player's body becomes warm until the Frostbite effect will decrease over time.
But how could they move if the second effect of Estrid's attack had left every player paralyzed.
Paralysis, abnormal status suffered by the type player exposed to the attack of electrical elements. Abnormal this hundred made the player experience an electric shock for some time, resulting in the Avatar player being so stiff.
“It's new named as fighting art.”
Estrid was amazed by the effect of his attack that could make 20 players freeze into an Ice sculpture. The success was due to his new weapon, Jarnbjorn, which can hold a large amount of Estrid electricity, as well as cause the effects of Ice magic in every attack.
Ordinary weapons would instantly explode if Estrid held out too much electrical energy, the durability would quickly diminish making it unsuitable for use as a primary weapon.
So that Estrid previously used the axe throwing technique more often. Until finally he got a weapon that is able to withstand the power of electricity in him.
“All my work over the past few weeks, paid off in full.” There was not the slightest regret that Estrid felt after trying the ability of his weapon.
The battle in the arena continued, the remaining players continued to try their best to defeat Estrid. Seeing their persistence made Estrid very happy, it was because there was nothing as boring as the players who gave up in the middle of the match.
“I am a player from Warlord, I will defeat you!.” shouted a player with a tower shield, he ran quickly towards Estrid.
Estrid is driven by a technique (Shild Dash), his health only diminishes slightly due to the attack. Because indeed the real purpose of a booster attack is not to give it damage, but to move the target of the attack.
The player with a large shield continued to push Estrid up to the wall, behind which several witches gave him upgrades.
But players from the number one Guild actually had no idea what was being done. He only wanted to push Estri towards the wall, without any further plans he would have after Estrid had been squeezed.
“So just like this the power of a player from guild number one?.”
“What!.”
The player was angry because of the words Estrid kept pushing towards the wall. The anger made him push even stronger.
But a strange thing happened when Estrid who was pushed felt heavier and continued to gain weight, making the movement more slowed until finally the player was no longer able to move.
He felt as if he was pushing a big rock. But the truth was that Estrid resisted the urge from the flavoring using just one hand. His hair that had become red smoldering made his surprise even more crazier.
Blam it! Estrid kicked the shield pushing it so hard that the user of the shield bounced so far away.
The player who is still defending wants to attack replacing the player with a shield. But they immediately stopped as the pressure from the aura of Conqueror Estrid began to spread.
“Let's just end up here.”
Putting a huge amount of force on his axe, Estrid ended the fight in the arena where he was in with one last, extremely brutal strike.
“Lightning Smith, Frost Thorn!.”
Estrid hit her axe twice, first causing a shockwave that spread throughout the area so that all the players affected by the attack became paralyzed.
Then the second strike made an Ice thorn emerge from the ground piercing the players who were unable to move. The attack was also a cover attack.
Ding!
