I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.
Chapter 223 The Healer's Movements Are Also a Skill
Over the next half hour, three more people challenged the Immovable Mountain: an assassin and two warriors.
The results were all the same.
The assassin's attacks were completely blocked by the shield, and the warrior's strength was no match for theirs. Immovable as a mountain stood like a barrier in second place, unassailable by anyone.
Li Wu watched as the unmoved figure walked back to his seat, and his mind was made up. The Mythical Guild was going to take the main tank role.
"Hua Zitong, the next one is Qixian Liuli. Who do you think will challenge her?" Li Wu asked.
Hua Zitong pointed to the audience below the stage.
"Look at that mage in the red robe, his name is 'Fire,' he's from the Rise of the Storm guild. He's been staring at Seven Strings of Glass the whole time, probably because he thinks the priest is easy to bully."
Li Wu smiled.
"A mage beating a priest is indeed a class advantage. However, if this Seven-Stringed Glass is really as amazing as you say, this mage is probably in for a tough time."
Sure enough, Liehuo stepped forward, pointed at Qixian Liuli, and said, "I want to challenge the fourth place."
Qixian Liuli was a quiet-looking girl, holding a rare staff in her hand. She stood up, nodded slightly to the raging fire, and walked into the center of the arena.
Liehuo is very confident.
He was a fire mage with extremely high burst damage. In his opinion, as long as a few big fireballs were thrown, the priest's low health would not be able to withstand it.
"Little sister, don't blame me for being ruthless. This Mythical Guild isn't a place for a little healer like you." As he spoke, Liehuo began chanting "Great Fireball".
Qixian Liuli didn't speak, but stood quietly in place, a soft white light shining from the tip of her staff.
Li Wu watched from above, wondering how this girl would fight. A priest's only chance against a mage in a one-on-one fight is to wear them down. To wear them down until they run out of mana, or to seize an opening while the mage is casting a spell and launch a counterattack.
But Qixian Liuli's next move surprised everyone.
She didn't cast a shield on herself, nor did she prepare to heal herself.
Just as the massive fireball hurtled towards her, she actually took a small step to the side.
With that one small step, the fireball grazed her clothes and blasted a crater in the ground, but she didn't lose a drop of blood.
"Dodge skills by maneuvering?"
Li Wu sat up straight. This was no ordinary movement; it was movement that demonstrated an extremely strong ability to predict the trajectory and speed of skills.
Liehuo paused for a moment, then fired two more instantaneous "fire arrows".
Qixian Liuli moved as if she were dancing, her body swaying lightly as each fire arrow precisely slipped through the gaps around her.
The entire audience gasped in surprise.
"Holy crap, is that some kind of cheat code?"
"Does this pastor have eyes in the back of his head?"
Liehuo panicked and started frantically unleashing his skills.
Fire rings, fireballs, rockets... all sorts of fire-attribute spells enveloped the Seven-Stringed Glazed Glass.
But the Seven-Stringed Glass is like a leaf fluttering in a strong wind. No matter how strong the wind is, it cannot harm the leaf in the slightest.
Li Wu could see everything clearly from the stands.
Qixian Liuli's every dodge was perfectly timed, precisely avoiding the damage range without any unnecessary movements. This indicates that she possesses a highly precise calculation model in her mind.
"Hua Zitong, where did you learn about these monsters?" Li Wu couldn't help but ask again.
Hua Zitong looked at the girl in the audience, her eyes shining.
"She uploaded the video herself. I was shocked when I saw it."
In the center of the arena, the raging fire was almost out of control.
His mana had already dropped by more than half, yet he hadn't even touched the hem of the other person's clothes.
"Don't you dare hide!" Liehuo shouted, beginning to chant his ultimate move—"Meteor Shower".
This is also the skill that made him famous. It is very rare to have an area-of-effect damage skill in the early stages of Origin Realm!
He felt that Qixian Liuli would definitely not be able to avoid it now.
Qixian Liuli finally spoke; her voice was beautiful and calm.
"You're out of mana."
Liehuo looked at his mana, which was completely depleted; he couldn't even conjure a basic fireball.
But that's no longer important.
The damage from Meteor Shower is cumulative; if three or more hits land, squishy classes will undoubtedly die.
In the center of the arena, Qixian Liuli still stood there.
Instead of panicking and fleeing as Liehuo had predicted, she put away the rare staff and placed her hands together in front of her chest.
White light shone through her fingers.
That wasn't ordinary healing light; it was a silvery light with a metallic sheen.
"Embrace of Starlight".
Her voice was soft, but in the noisy arena, it was amplified and carried to every corner through the sound-amplifying magic circle.
The first meteorite struck her on the shoulder.
The expected drop in health did not occur.
Two numbers popped up above Qixian Liuli's head.
-450!
+450!
The injury and healing occurred almost simultaneously.
Immediately afterwards, the second, third, and tenth meteorites bombarded the frail figure in succession.
The entire area was engulfed in flames, and thick smoke obscured visibility.
The smile on Liehuo's face froze before it could even fade.
He discovered that in his combat log, every "damage dealt" entry was followed by "target has absorbed and converted the damage."
"What kind of skill is that?" Steel Shield in the stands jumped to his feet. He was a veteran warrior, extremely sensitive to damage numbers. "Healing while taking damage? That's not scientific!"
Li Wu stared at the sea of fire.
His gaze pierced through the smoke.
Not only did Qixian Liuli not die, her magical power was actually slowly recovering.
"This is no ordinary skill." At this moment, Hua Zitong spoke up, "It's a judgment conversion! During its duration, Starlight Embrace will convert all spell damage received into an equal amount of healing, and will also restore an additional 5% of mana."
This skill is practically the bane of mages.
The harder you hit her, the more she nurses you.
Ten seconds later, the meteor shower stopped.
The arena floor was charred black and was emitting acrid smoke.
Qixian Liuli stood in the center of the ruins, her pure white priest's robe perfectly intact. Her health bar was full, and her mana had returned to one-third of its original level.
"You lost." Qixian Liuli remained as demure as ever.
Liehuo opened its mouth, then slumped down in despair.
A mage without mana is less effective than a super minion in the arena.
"I surrender."
Lin Hai's voice rang out again: "Seven-Stringed Glazed Glass, successfully defending its title!"
The audience was silent for a moment, then erupted in even more exaggerated boos and applause than before.
"This healer is invincible! Anyone who teams up with her is basically carrying a mobile fountain!"
"If this kind of talent were in a raiding party, one person could be worth three priests. Mythic Guild would be incredibly lucky!"
