I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

"A mage fighting a berserker? Is this guy out of his mind?"

"Yes, the Berserker's charge and leaping attack are a huge counter to mages. Once they get close, the mage definitely won't last a second."

"Bloody Hand is known for his 'mad dog' fighting style; he won't give you a chance to create distance."

The discussions in the audience were almost unanimously negative about Mohen.

Most players believe that mages, as a turret-like class, are very afraid of warriors. Warriors have high mobility and strong burst damage, making them a perfect counter to mages.

In the VIP section, Steel Shield frowned: "Boss, is this Inkmark... any good? He looks so ordinary, and his equipment is just average, while Bloodhand has half of his rare equipment."

"Just watch." Li Wu's answer was still simple.

His gaze swept over Mohen.

Indeed, this mage named Mohen was unremarkable in both appearance and equipment; he was the kind of person you wouldn't notice if you threw him into a crowd.

But he stood there, facing the menacing bloody hand, his eyes calm.

This kind of mentality is not something that ordinary players can have.

Since this ink mark was chosen by Hua Zitong, it must have something special about it.

What could it be?

Li Wu leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed on the arena.

In the center of the field, Lin Hai announced the start of the match.

"Kid, I'll show you what happens when you challenge me!"

Bloodhand roared and accelerated, crashing straight into Inkmark.

Everyone assumed that Mohen would use his movement skill to create distance the moment Bloodhand charged forward.

However, no ink mark was found.

He simply stood quietly in place, gently tapping his staff.

"Ice Barrier"

A layer of ice instantly encased the ink stains.

boom!

Bloodhand slammed his head against the ice with a dull thud.

His charge was interrupted, and he himself was somewhat dazed by the impact, falling into a brief state of paralysis.

"A refrigerator? He's using a refrigerator right at the start? Is this mage an idiot?"

A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the audience.

Ice Barrier, commonly known as the Ice Block, is a survival skill for Ice Mages in the early game. It grants invulnerability, but the user cannot move or cast spells.

This skill has a cooldown of up to five minutes and is a mage's trump card.

Using your survival skill less than three seconds into the game? In PvP, that's practically suicide.

Bloodhand was also stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

He stood guard beside the ice block, holding his giant axe high, waiting for the ink marks to emerge.

He wanted to make the monk regret his actions the moment he stepped out.

Three seconds, two seconds, one second...

The duration of the Ice Barrier is about to end.

Everyone held their breath, staring at the scene, waiting to see Mohen be split in two by the giant axe.

Just before the ice shell shattered, the ink mark moved.

The figure of the ink marks suddenly became blurry inside the ice shell.

"flash!"

The moment the ice barrier dissipated, Mohen's figure vanished from his original spot and reappeared twenty meters behind Bloodhand.

"Use the refrigerator as a bait to interrupt, then flash to create distance! Great idea!"

The experts in the stands immediately understood Mohen's intention.

He used the refrigerator to forcibly interrupt Bloodthirster's charge combo, creating a safe environment for him to flash and cast spells.

Bloodhand reacted quickly, turning around to prepare for a leaping slash to pursue.

But it was too late.

The moment the ink trace landed, the staff was already raised.

"Deep freeze!"

A halo of ice-blue light suddenly spread out from the ink mark.

Blood Hand, who was about to jump, suddenly froze, his whole body instantly frozen in a comical pose.

"It's under control!"

"Beautiful! That combo was so smooth! This Inkmark is a pro!"

The wind in the stands shifted instantly.

His previous use of the refrigerator trick to interrupt others only made him seem a bit clever. But this control combo truly showcases his skill as a PVP player.

"So it's an ice mage." Li Wu realized.

Among mages, ice mages have strong control abilities but weak burst damage.

This Inkmark chose to deal with the warrior, showing great confidence in his control.

What he's going to do is kill Bloodhand!

The deep freeze control time is up to five seconds.

Five seconds is enough time for a mage to do a lot.

Mohen didn't rush to deal damage. He first placed a frost trap under his feet, and then slowly began to chant Blizzard.

A snow cloud mixed with ice crystals formed above Bloodhand's head, and countless sharp ice spikes rained down.

-88!

-92!

-85!

A series of damage numbers appeared above Bloodhand's head. Although the damage per hit was not high, the damage was continuous and dense.

More importantly, the blizzard's chilling effect reduces Bloodhand's movement speed by 50%!

Five seconds later, the deep freeze was lifted.

Bloodhand roared and tried to charge at Inkmark, but found his legs were very heavy.

Every step he took was difficult.

As Mohen retreated, he calmly unleashed his Ice Lance and Frost Arrow attacks on him.

The distance was kept within reach of the bloody hand.

He couldn't catch up, couldn't hit him, and could only watch helplessly as his health was slowly dwindled by the opponent's frost spells.

"Flying a kite! This is a classic mage kite-flying tactic!"

"Bloodhand is finished. He has no crowd control break abilities. Once the Ice Mage gets on him, it's a death sentence!"

"That ink mark is terrifying! Every skill he uses, every movement he makes, is perfectly executed!"

The situation on the field has shifted in Mohen's favor.

Bloodhand possesses immense strength, yet he cannot utilize it.

Bloodhand's health quickly dropped below 30%.

"Aaaaaah!"

Bloodhand roared, knowing he had lost.

But he didn't want to lose like that!

How could he be tricked like this by a mage whose name he'd never even heard of?

At the last moment, he made a decision.

He abandoned the pursuit, stood still, and raised his giant axe high.

"Whirlwind Slash!"

He wanted to use his last bit of mana and health to unleash an area-of-effect attack. Even if he couldn't kill his opponent, he wanted to force him back and regain some face.

The massive axe blade spun around, making a whooshing sound.

However, Mohen's face remained expressionless.

Just as the Whirlwind Slash was about to be activated, the staff in his hand shone brightly once more.

"Frost Impact!"

-256!

A blue critical hit number floated up above Bloodthirster's head.

Bloodhand's last bit of health was instantly wiped out.

The massive body slowly collapsed, his face filled with a bewildered expression.

Even until his death, he couldn't understand how he could have lost to an ice mage!

"Monster...another monster..." Steel Shield muttered to himself.

Control a warrior from beginning to end until he dies!

"Now, do you still think he's ordinary?"

Li Wu asked with a smile.

"Third place, Inkmark, moves up!"

Lin Hai's voice brought this duel to an end.
