The audience in front of the screen were shocked when Sinistress manipulated and collapsed the four pillars.
The terrain had changed!
Sinistress had played a good hand.
In the battle between Champions, even a slight change would affect the outcome. Sinistress changing the terrain into the one that was advantageous to Terramancer was indeed a good move.
Qin Ruo did not have much experience in fighting with a Terramancer. Needless to say, he was startled by Sinistress. Qin Ruo kept himself thirty meters away from Sinistress with a dignified expression on his face.
Terramancer!
Among the seven elements of Elementalist Class, Terramancer was the only Class that could easily utilize the surrounding terrain. It was well-known as the strongest Elementalist Class. This was because they could get support from the ground beneath them anytime.
The other Classes could not do this easily.
Fire Element, insufficient flame.
Water Element, depended on the air humidity.
Dark and Light Elements were considered extreme Elements.
Wind Element was slightly better.
Thunder Element was the worst.
Only Earth Element users could easily utilize the surrounding terrain. They were able to get elemental support from nature without much effort.
Obviously, Sinistress was doing this greatly!
The crushed stones on the floor that were from the collapsed pillars could be fully manipulated by Sinistress. After all, these objects would be easier to manipulate than normal elements. It was just like what Qin Ruo did in the Mythical Mirage's third phase, whereby he borrowed the power from the sea.
At this moment, Qin Ruo felt that Sinistress was like a mirror of himself when he was standing at the sea in the Mythical Mirage's third phase. Sinistress could immediately turn all the crushed stones on the floor into a deadly weapon if she wanted to.
Qin Ruo knew clearly that if he went into these obstacles rashly, Sinistress' first attack would be to destroy his barrier and defense shield in just a second and this would kill him immediately.
This challenge was not easy to solve...
While Qin Ruo was still thinking, Sinistress made a move!
Sinistress strongly flapped her Demonic Wings and charged toward Qin Ruo at a high speed.
At the same time, the crushed stones on the floor that were under Sinistress' manipulation were like a bunch of live stones. Those stones floated and shot at Qin Ruo.
"Hmph."
Despite being at a disadvantage, such an attack was still not a big threat to Qin Ruo. When he was faced with Jebel Pangolin in Mythical Mirage's third phase, its Frozen Arrow Array was even stronger than such crushed stones.
Qin Ruo flapped his Angelic Wings and moved backward.
He then consumed Movement Speed Potion, which helped him to have a speed not slower than Sinistress. Hence, he could easily distance himself thirty meters away from Sinistress. The crushed stones manipulated by Sinistress kept missing Qin Ruo.
What was more, Sinistress still claimed that she would not use Teleport...
This implied that for a short time, there was not much risk for Qin Ruo.
While Qin Ruo was still strategizing his attack plan, Sinistress continued her attacks aggressively and mercilessly. The distance between Qin Ruo and Sinistress was closing and the latter believed that the Winter Demon would not willingly be pressed by his enemy all the while.
Despite being lured out by her opponent from the advantageous terrain she had created, there was still some crushed stones manipulated by her. Plus, there were numerous pillars in the Mystical Sanctuary. It was an easy task for Sinistress to destroy them and create crushed stones again.
It was meaningless if Qin Ruo kept on dodging like that.
"..."
"Frozen Realm!"
After a few seconds, majestic magic power was released by Qin Ruo.
The released freezing air immediately destroyed Sinistress' connection with her Divinity Crystal.
At the same time, Qin Ruo used his enchanted Frost Witch's Rage to release three Raging Frost Roars at Sinistress.
Who knew that Sinistress' reaction was so quick.
After Qin Ruo cast the Tier 5 AoE offensive spell, Sinistress took action to counter it as well.
"Gravity Dimension!"
The Magic Scroll that Sinistress held had affected Qin Ruo's ability to move. At the same time, it had destroyed Qin Ruo's Elemental Perception. Both of them were separated by the Raging Frost Roars and started to fall to the ground!
"..."
"Not good!"
Wandering Soul, who was looking at the battle from far away, was frightened when he saw Qin Ruo and Sinistress falling to the ground. Sinistress was a Champion Terramancer, in addition to Elemental Perception, she still had Earth's detection power that other Terramancer did not have. Once she had contact with the ground, no enemy could get rid of her detection!
Qin Ruo fell into Sinistress' trap when he decided to face Sinistress' Tier 5 Offensive Magic directly...
An Aquamancer without Elemental Perception versus a Terramancer who had detection power and at the same time, was surrounded by an advantageous terrain... Sinistress indeed had the upper hand.
Wandering Soul did not dare to intervene in the battle. In fact, he did not have enough time to intervene.
Numerous sharp stones came out of a dimension suddenly and shot at Qin Ruo, who was falling from the sky.
At this moment, Sinistress had a look in her eyes, as if she was mocking the legendary Winter Demon for falling so easily into her trap.
Sinistress had lost her Elemental Perception and her sight was blocked by Raging Frost Roars, but all these were nothing if she utilized her combat's expertise properly.
Combat consciousness decided everything!
However, just as everyone was surprised by Sinistress' attack and started to worry about Qin Ruo, a high-pitched howling voice suddenly arose.
The speed of the surrounding stones, which were going to hit Qin Ruo, dropped immediately. This was just like the speed of a bullet train dropping into the speed of a tractor.
Such a reversal in the situation deeply depressed Sinistress.
Initially, she was pretty sure that this was going to hit Qin Ruo, which could destroy Qin Ruo's defense shield and barrier. Who knew it was interrupted by a sudden howling voice.
Shadowfox.
What a good Shadowfox that could even decrease Offensive Magic's attack speed.
Clang!
After Sinistress landed on the ground, she immediately scanned for Qin Ruo's location with her Earth detection power.
She was within attacking range.
Something flashed in her eyes.
"..."
Boom!
When Qin Ruo landed on the ground, there was already magic fluctuation beneath him. He did not have much time to react nor have the Shadowfox to cast Spell Break. Immediately, his barrier was being hit by the Earth Thorn from the ground.
Formidable enemy's attack.
Although it was just a small attack, the damage should not be underestimated.
The Darkfrost Shield was broken instantly and Frostbarrier's Endurance point had decreased by dozens of points. Additionally, his HP was decreased by nearly five hundred points.
"Dammit!"
Qin Ruo did not dare to have a slight delay in his actions. Just as he got himself out from Sinistress' attacking range, he swiftly took out HP potions and Attribute Boosters.
"This Terramancer is really relentless!"
Qin Ruo thought to himself and consumed two potions immediately.
The movement speed increased by the Guardian Potion had helped Qin Ruo to distance himself away from Sinistress. At the same time, he could re-activate the Darkfrost Shield and had his HP fully recovered.
"..."
"Unfortunately."
Qin Ruo's movement speed increment had frightened Sinistress. She thought quietly that the next time she went into the Underworld, she must have a clear look at all the Potions and Boosters Divine Chemist had.
The price of an Attribute Booster was only a few tenths of a thousand, that price was not even one percent of a Boss Sealed Mana Core, but it already had a tremendous effect.
Movement speed increment was often able to help the user win over the initiative power. It would be too bad for Sinistress if Qin Ruo won because of this.
Sinistress stopped moving, she could only wait for Qin Ruo to recover his barrier before she could get close to him again.
Although the situation like just now would not happen again, Sinistress still had the upper hand. As long as that Qin Ruo insisted on one-versus-one, Sinistress would have a higher win rate. Besides, she was very confident as well. She locked onto Qin Ruo who had reactivated Frostbarrier and thought to quietly, "Come on, I won't let you get away this time..."
"..."
Qin Ruo realized that Sinistress was keeping her promise for not using Teleport and stood forty meters away from him. His face slowly bearing a dignified expression. While reactivating Darkfrost Shield and changing his Frostbarrier, he significantly increased his awareness at the same time.
Just now, if not because of Poochie, the first attack would have killed him already.
On the second attack, Sinistress was able to detect Qin Ruo's location clearly and had performed an ambush even if her sight was blocked by Raging Frost Roar.
If Qin Ruo reacted with even a slight delay, the battle was over.
This was so close!
Death Cult's leader Sinistress was indeed strong.
Just as Qin Ruo was done recovering to his optimal status, he swiftly planned a way to handle Sinistress, her Chaotic Rock Formation, and her Elemental Perception: Earth.
Eventually, he found that he could not find any way that was really suitable at handling Sinistress.
Qin Ruo felt annoyed after realizing such an undesirable fact.
A few seconds had passed. Both Qin Ruo and Sinistress remained forty meters away from each other. They did not move even an inch.
Both of them were top Elementalists, but Sinistress had a better advantage on the terrain. When they faced each other with full force, for sure Sinistress would not give Qin Ruo any opportunity to have even the slightest advantage. Unless, Sinistress made a mistake.
"Wait... a mistake?"
Audience in front of the screen were all still worried about Qin Ruo, but they suddenly saw Qin Ruo smirking cunningly.
He touched his neck for a while and put his hand into his waist bag.
Such action with a smirk was starting to make those players from Demon Faction worry. They all hoped that Sinistress could win this battle and help them to crush Angel Faction's prestige.
In the next second, numerous players other than Sinistress saw what was happening...
There was suddenly a special pendant around Qin Ruo's neck.
There was a huge eye on the pendant, but the eye was closed, as if it was exhausted.
Just as every player was still wondering what the pendant's function was, the system was so kind to feature the Eye of Galbis and its eerie look.
Suddenly, in front of the numerous players, the eye opened!
