MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter Chapter 73 – Explosive Mage

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Explosive Mage

Unfortunately for the female gamers in the Hundred Blossoms Alliance, they didn’t get to see how Li Yao managed to grind. By the time they could see the finish line, Li Yao had already stopped.

Their failure to witness this left the high-level female gamers quite disappointed as they were genuinely curious about Li Yao’s tactics.

It was Lily who first gave in to her curiosity, asking, “Great master of the Prairie Fire, why did you stop so early? If you had kept going a little longer, we would have arrived sooner, saving us a lot of effort.”

“My pet leveled up, so naturally, I stopped.”

By this time, Li Yao had already brought out the chair that came with his workbench. He was leisurely watching other people’s live streams and sipping some wine that he got from the tavern.

Furong Rain frowned, “Are you playing dumb, or do you genuinely not understand? What Lily means is, how did you manage to grind?”

“It was just normal grinding, what else could it have been?”

“I…” Furong Rain was speechless. She realized they weren’t close, so it was only natural that he didn’t want to share his tactics. But something about it just didn’t sit right with her.

“It’s probably because your firebird is quite formidable, but of course, your own output wouldn’t be low.” Flaming Red Lips suddenly said: “If I am not mistaken, this firebird is at least of an elite level, a rare pet. And it doesn’t seem to be a creature of flesh and blood. It’s quite unusual to be able to capture a pet before level ten, let alone such a powerful one. You’ve kept it well hidden.”

Li Yao just chuckled wryly and did not deny it. He put his wine cup away, sat up straight, and said earnestly, “Blast Mages are pretty strong too, you just haven’t fully tapped into your elite potential yet. Else, you wouldn’t be saying my output is fierce.”

Mages in the Ancient God World were typically divided into three major branches: Arcane, Frost, and Fire.

Arcane represented agility and mystery, Frost represented absolute control, and Fire represented absolute output.

A Fire Mage had high burst potential. Given space for output, they could instantly kill people.

However, Fire Mages required a conducive environment for output and essentially had no control skills. Whether it’s grinding or PK, it wasn’t suited for solo action, and was more inclined towards team play.

But the Ancient God World had many interesting designs. There were many extensions and subdivisions of the Fire Mage.

Among them, the Blast Mage was well known for its fierce output, and did not lack control and AOE (Area of Effect) spells. As they leveled up, they became increasingly stronger.

The passive of the Blast Mage was peculiar. All of their spells would create an explosion and knock back effect. The blasting flame could cause group damage, and the knockback could continuously control creatures.

Although their skills were similar to that of regular Fire Mages, the mere knock back effect could be an endless headache. In a PK scenario, if a Blast Mage got the upper hand, it basically meant being continuously bombarded with fireballs until death.

The most famous Blast Mage was currently the Prince of the High Elves, and they had a special legion.

Not counting the arrow towers and pets, Li Yao wasn’t necessarily her match in single round outputs. And if she truly became an elite, she would be even more powerful.

“How did you know?”

This time it was Flaming Red Lips’ turn to be surprised. She hadn’t told anyone about her task to become a Blast Mage, at most people knew she was on an elite quest.

Li Yao simply pointed to the fire symbol on her Mage robe’s sleeve and said,

“Because of this.’

“Impressive.”

Flaming Red Lips had to admit defeat. The symbol on a regular Fire Mage robe was a fire, whereas the symbol on her sleeve was of a scattering flame, similar to the emblem used by a particular High Elf legion.

Human magic was inherited from the High Elves, even the symbols hadn’t changed. The fact that he was able to deduce her identity from this clue showed his deep understanding of the game.

In fact, she had received her elite quest from a Mage of the High Elves who was part of the Alliance.

Li Yao only chuckled without uttering a word. The background settings in the Ancient God World was rigorous and traceable history could be found. Everything was interconnected.

This was the reason why many archaeologist gamers and scholarly gamers would appear in the future. Based on their understanding of the game’s history, they could trigger many quests that regular gamers couldn’t.

The high-level female gamers also refrained from asking further. They realized from how Li Yao had shifted the subject earlier, that he didn’t want to share. Moreover, they felt quite exposed when he discerned their leader’s identity. They figured it would be better to keep their distance from such an individual.

As the leader of the Hundred Blossoms Alliance’s walkthrough team, Furong Rain’s eyes gleamed with a hint of excitement. It wasn’t because she developed a crush on Li Yao, but rather, his words had given her some insight and showed her a new path.

During the silence, the female gamers opened the treasure chest and divided the equipment, while Li Yao continued to drink his wine.

Just in time, Tavern Over River finally made it to the finish line. The other team, however, had been disqualified. Their creatures disappeared, and they ran over, filling the air with murderous intent as they glared at Li Yao as if he were a dead man.

“You were pretty arrogant earlier, let’s see how you can be arrogant now. Kill him,” Tavern Over River was driven mad by Li Yao. Upon seeing him, Tavern Over River issued a direct killing order.

Frustratingly, the disqualified team only had one minute before they would be teleported away.

“Kill!

Path to the Underworld, from afar, was also infuriated. In their minds, if it weren’t for Li Yao, they wouldn’t have been disqualified. This issue was related to their future progress.

The team started to run swiftly towards Li Yao, led by a defense knight.

“Want to die? I’ll grant your wish.”

In the next moment, Li Yao put away his chair. While a crossbow he had assembled and placed in the Mechanical Space, appeared before him. He had loaded a steel arrow into it earlier.

“Having a crossbow is useless. Everyone, hide behind Huangquan. Let him take the shot..”

The leader of Path to the Underworld, a Warlock, had initially grown scared upon seeing Li Yao produce a crossbow. But he soon brushed off his worry. With a healer in their team, one shot from the crossbow wouldn’t be enough to kill a heavily armored MT.

After the crossbow released the steel arrow, it would take a while to restring it. They weren’t going to give him the chance for a second shot.

He had been worried about what tactics Li Yao might have but shrugged it off as soon as he saw the crossbow. A cold glint appeared in his eyes.

“Too late or not, we’ll just have to see.”

Li Yao noticed their MT held up a large shield and that the team stood behind him, becoming the target of his crossbow. The MT could probably handle it, but the others wouldn’t be able to.

Obviously, they planned to tank Li Yao’s first shot, then tear him into pieces.

Li Yao squinted, quickly adjusting his crossbow, watching the MT in the frontline. A slight smile appeared on his face.

The opponent’s MT was quite good, equipped in a Great Wild Boar Suit. The shield on his arm even had a blue glow, clearly indicating its superior quality.

It would’ve been challenging to kill him if the belt wasn’t obtained. But now? Li Yao activated the belt’s ability in an instant.

Strength of the Barbarous Bull!

As soon as the Strength of the Barbarous Bull was activated, Li Yao’s body seemed to inflate, and a faint red mist floated around him.

At the same time, the flames of his firebird began to surge, and the crossbow’s mechanism also produced a faint red gas, clearly under the influence of the Strength of the Barbarous Bull.

“Die!”

Li Yao fired his crossbow…
