The Great Thief - Chapter 544

Chapter 544

Unforgettable Maple walked back 100 yards before stopping .

This was a carefully chosen distance . It wasn’t too close to the bridge, so they could have a proper 1 v 1, but it also wasn’t too far that if Lu Li attacked his teammates, he could go and help them .

He truly was worthy of being called a professional veteran . Lu Li gave up on his plan to attack the four other players and followed Unforgettable Maple into the space .

Unforgettable Maple lifted his hand and summoned a Water Elemental .

Not everyone had the Water Elemental skill, but most professional Ice Mages would .

The Water Elemental stretched out its arms and covered the area that Lu Li was standing on with ice . This Water Elemental had Frost Nova; it was truly luxurious and could only be afforded by Majin Temple .

Most Mages didn’t even have Frost Nova . Not only did Unforgettable Maple have it, but so did the Water Elemental .

As a result, Unforgettable Maple effectively had two Frost Novas .

"The level difference isn’t as big anymore, so it won’t be so one-sided this time," Unforgettable Maple said with a smile . It was hard for him to calm himself; he was glad that he found Lu Li so soon .

"There’s no pressure in playing dead, crazy girl…" Lu Li used Gale Steps before the Frostbolt could hit him .

"Crazy… girl . I hate it when people call me that . You’re dead . " Unforgettable Maple’s whole body trembled as he carelessly shot another ice bolt at where Lu Li was just standing .

Of course, this was just bravado . How could a veteran be so easily angered?

In his recent years, so many people had called him crazy girl that he had long since become desensitized to it . His performance was solely to lull Lu Li into a false sense of security . This was part of Unforgettable Maple’s expertise .

It seemed like Lu Li had taken the opportunity .

"I’m not trying to bully you . " Unforgettable Maple suddenly spun around and cast Cone of Cold at Lu Li with great precision .

Cone of Cold dealt 130% frost damage to a target in a cone in front of the caster . It also applied a 60% movement speed reduction for 6 seconds .

Not only could it deal a significant amount of damage, but it also significantly reduced the target’s movement .

It didn’t matter how strong any profession was if their movement speed was reduced by more than 50% . Unless you had some way to remove this debuff, you would be at the mercy of Unforgettable Maple .

Unforgettable Maple felt like a cat manipulating a mouse’s fate .

He wanted Lu Li to use up all of his escape skills and would deal the fatal blow once he did .

Lu Li took two more steps with great difficulty before being forced to use Vanish .

Vanish caused a player to disappear and enter Stealth . For the first 3 seconds after Vanish was cast, damage and other effects would not cancel Stealth . It also lifted all movement debuffs .

Another escape skill had been used, and Unforgettable Maple’s lips curled slightly .

He silently calculated where Lu Li had fled to and his initial tense heart began to slowly relax . He could even vaguely sense Lu Li’s position; he was wandering around a short distance behind him .

As Unforgettable Maple became more comfortable, the player representing Ruling Sword continued to let him feel even more comfortable .

What would Lu Li use to lift the next Frost Nova?

In that moment, Lu Li, whom he thought was still far away, appeared right behind him . Unforgettable Maple was startled, but quickly worked out what had happened .

It had to be the effect of his cloak – the Shadow Cloak . Majin Temple had two of those, but they were just level 15 equips .

Unforgettable Maple used Ice Barrier to counter Lu Li’s surprise attack . He looked coldly at Lu Li, who was unable to continue attacking him, then started thinking of ways he could finish him off .

Lu Li must have felt helpless as he backed away, as a Mage with Ice Barrier was invincible .

It looked like he just had to wait until this Ice Barrier expired .

Unforgettable Maple sneered in his heart at how Lu Li kept coming and going . He hoped that Lu Li would stay this time .

He decisively cancelled the Ice Barrier that had not yet expired and chased after Lu Li . There was no time to mess around for much longer; it was time to finish this .

He was in such a bad state and still wanted to be singled out!

Ice appeared at Lu Li’s feet as Unforgettable Maple casted another Frost Nova from his Magic Staff . He then started channeling his ultimate skills, forcing Lu Li to escape with his badge .

Lu Li’s body suddenly shrunk as he became a leopard .

Stampeding Roar!

"Dammit," Unforgettable Maple silently cursed; he had forgotten about this skill . Although the situation was unfortunate, he remained calm . Now, both he and Lu Li had one escape left, which made them evenly matched .

Lu Li then instantly approached Unforgettable Maple with the special effect on his gloves – Sudden Thrust .

Kidney Shot!

He had saved several combo points and was now using them all on Kidney Shot .

Unforgettable Maple had thought that Lu Li wasn’t feeling well . He thought that he had everything under control, until this Sudden Thrust and Kidney Shot .

Fortunately, he was still a proficient player and used the badge the moment Kidney Shot landed .

Completely unaffected by the Stun, Unforgettable Maple laughed coldly before shooting a flame at Lu Li from his left Bracer .

This Frostjet Flame was definitely no ordinary attack . Flame attacks were instant and he was so close that he didn’t have any time to react .

After being hit by the flame, Lu Li’s body went stiff which meant that this was some kind of crowd-control skill or special effect .

After being hit by two ice bolts, Lu Li eventually used his badge to cancel this state . Both players’ crowd-control and crowd-control removals were almost completely exhausted .

"I can just keep kiting you to death . " Unforgettable Maple didn’t know what else Lu Li had, but he knew that his instant ice bolts had a slow effect .

The kiting that he was referring to was simply keeping a set distance and attacking from afar .

This was probably his finishing blow . Even if he couldn’t keep up the slows, it was enough to deal with Lu Li, who was already at one-third HP .

Lu Li was silent .

"You’re only asking for backup now . It’s too late, isn’t it?" Unforgettable Maple had received a notification that Ruling Sword was rushing across the bridge . Contrary to being panicked by this information, he was actually relieved .

Lu Li was soon going to be killed by him, which was why they were rushing now . Otherwise, when else would they attack? Surely not after Lu Li was dead?

"You’re so confident that you’ve won?’ Lu Li was speechless .

"Your Gale Steps, and other crowd-control removals are on cooldown . There’s no way that your Shadow Cloak is already up . You’re not even close to me," Unforgettable Maple laughed .

Just because he laughed didn’t mean he was being arrogant; his attacks didn’t stop .

The ice bolts didn’t have a cooldown; they just needed a target for him to hit . They hit their target almost instantly, but dealt less damage . Each hit only did a dozen damage to Lu Li .

Unforgettable Maple thought that he could finish him off with these slowing ice bolts .
