Chapter 633: Chapter 343: Seeking Death but Cannot (7000 words)_2

Everything stood still. At this moment, the Shadow Wolf was mid-leap, maintaining its forward jumping posture.

"You’re doomed!"

World Walker sneered. He would never be lenient with such an opportunity for vengeance. He was about to step forward to prepare an attack formation.

however, he barely took a step forward when a strong repulsive force enveloped him, exerting so much power he struggled to move any further.

"How is that possible?"

World Walker was surprised. This felt familiar. He had just experienced it on the Ghost Captain. It was the repellent force of the Wind Shield.

However, the Ghost Captain could predict the future and thus release this spell in time. How did she manage to do it? Could she also predict the future?

Moreover...

World Walker frowned at the repulsion barrier in front of him: the range was just too large, wasn’t it?

He was still about twenty meters away from her but was unable to get any closer. With such a large distance from the start, this spell must be at least a Level 6 one!

With such a thing in existence, continuing would merely waste his magic power and valuables. World Walker quickly retreated.

The thumb moved, and time restarted.

Sure enough, a terrifyingly strong wind blew around the Shadow Wolf. Then her direction changed, as if carried by the wind under her feet, and she was not retreating but instead initiating an attack on World Walker.

"Seeking death!"

Seeing her ready to engage in close combat, World Walker laughed out of fury. He hadn’t stayed in time-stop for too long just now, the cooldown was only a minimum of two seconds. Her, a ranged class, daring to rush at him was practically suicide!

Shadow Wolf quickly closed in, the curved knife in her hand manifested, slicing through the air like a silver crescent moon.

World Walker’s shield around him shattered at the sound. The knife continued to slash in front of him, breaking through all his defenses, leaving a blood line on his body.

He got slashed, but World Walker didn’t care. What he was waiting for was this opportunity to get close.

With a triumphant smile, he once again pressed his thumb down and everything became still.

However, his smile soon faded.

Because he found that after time stopped, he also froze.

A familiar repulsive force surrounded him, squeezing him from all directions, firmly pinning him in place.

"This is..."

World Walker was surprised.

Wind Shield spell, an uncommon low-level wind magic spell. It uses little magic power, has a short cooldown, and only lasts for three short seconds. After casting, the Wind Shield can absorb 500 damage, dissolving automatically when reaching full damage or after time expires.

This spell, originally designed to protect allies, had been used on him, the enemy.

But World Walker couldn’t bring himself to be pleased about this. Instead, he wanted to curse. Because the side effect of this spell is that it would trap the caster in place!

Although this spell is different from Water Prison in that it can be broken from the inside, the prerequisite is that he needs to let time flow and eliminate the repulsive force of the forming Wind Shield before he has a chance to act.

Now that he couldn’t do anything, he could only press his thumb down again.

However, as soon as time-stop ended, there was no need for him to act. Shadow Wolf automatically dispelled the Wind Shield, and her curved knife relentlessly slashed at him. Her movements were as fast as afterimages.

Despite World Walker’s best defensive preparations and attempts to retreat, he still ended up with several wounds and was quickly losing life.

"Impressive!"

From a distance, Mu You who was speeding towards them said with eyes sparkling with admiration.

He originally saw her going towards Shadow Wolf, which made him worry about her safety.

However, Shadow Wolf’s performance greatly surprised him. Not only did she know how to exploit the Wind Wall and Wind Shield, she perfectly avoided World Walker’s time-stop attack, instead initiating a counter-attack. In just a few breaths’ time, she had knocked off one fifth of his life!

"How clever," Vivian praised her wit.

"How so?"

"This kid’s battle instincts and experience are exceptional! When you were fighting with the enemy, she was observing in the distance, taking in patterns. She probably doesn’t even know what the enemy’s ability is, but she knows when he will suddenly shift places and unleash a ton of attack right after. Also, your subsequent counter-measures, she took them all in and flexibly applied it to the enemy," Vivian explained.

"But how did she find the right moment?" This was Mu You’s biggest curiosity. Shadow Wolf doesn’t have the ability to go back in time but was able to accurately seize the opportunity to cast a spell like him.

"Observation, and instinct. Don’t forget, before stopping time, there are warning signs..."

"Oh...."

Mu You realized then. The movement of pressing the finger, was actually the most obvious warning sign.

Sure, predicting such a subtle movement beforehand was not easy, but if you had enough experience in combat, sharp instincts, predicting the timing of pressing the finger according to the instinctive reactions of the human body when it was raised, wouldn’t be impossible.

The reason Mu You overlooked this was because of his slight dependence on the pocket watch.

The existence of the pocket watch allowed him a high margin of error, consequently dulling his instincts. Unlike Shadow Wolf, a born warrior, years of hunting and surviving in the wilderness had given her beast-like combat instincts.

During their conversation, Mu You had already quickly arrived at the scene.

At this moment, Shadow Wolf was still engaged in intense battle with World Walker, or to put it more accurately, Shadow Wolf was chasing and attacking while World Walker could only resist and retreat.
