Chapter 188: Lin Yue, The Martial Arts Girl
Shebe knew that the competition allowed the use of magic tools.
Many teams carried along magic scrolls and such to use in emergencies. These tools made by enchanters like scrolls releases magic after being ripped, theyre convenient and easy to use, even normal people could use them.
They were like guns, no matter how strong you were, even as a normal person, I could easily end you just by pulling the trigger, so they were extremely valuable in combat, similarly, magic scrolls were also very expensive.
Most people brought along cheaper third level strengthening magic scrolls, to gain an advantage during a fight. Almost no one had fourth level magic scrolls, and was usually used as a trump card during life and death situations. As for fifth level and above, there was none because it was just too expensive.
Fifth level magic already had a certain amount of destructive power, if it was used properly, it could wipe out a small mercenary team. That already wasnt a handgun, it was a powerful RPG! And it was a handheld version, even a delicate beauty could easily carry it and shoot you in the face!
Additionally, fifth level magic scrolls were extremely complex to make, so there was a low supply, and were considered priceless treasures.
Precious, rare, and it was only a fifth level and such an RPG was terrifying to normal people. But honestly speaking, it was nothing in front of someone truly strong.
If you randomly grabbed a magician on Despair Island, there was a high chance that they were fifth level, so rather than buying a magic scroll at an exorbitant price, it was more worth it to get a magician to directly cast it.
But Shebe definitely saw it, Rosie just used two fifth level magic scrolls in succession!
Scrolls? No, those werent scrolls, they were shiny white silvers, and glowing gold!
In those short couple of breaths, Rosie used up more money than a regular person can even make in their entire lifetimes!
Even if Rosie had the money to causally squander away fifth level scrolls, Shebe shouldnt be that surprised, what really shocked her was the ring that Rosie was wearing!
Hey, i-is that a spatial ring? Shebe restrained her shock, but her voice still trembled slightly.
Earlier, they didnt see Rosie holding any magic scrolls so they rushed over and ended up being caught off guard, instantly losing two of their teammates.
Where did the magic scroll come from?
There was only one answer, from the ring on Rosies hand!
Shebe noticed that when Rosie cast the magic, the ring on her hand flashed, and if she remembered correctly, it looked like a spatial ring.
Oh? You know about the spatial ring, how knowledgeable.
Rosie finally relaxed and used her left hand to touch her ring, it blinked for an instant and two magic scrolls appeared in her hand.
I knew it!
Shebe gulped and stared fixedly on that beautiful ring.
She has only read about the spatial ring from books, its said that the top enchanters could cast spatial magic in a bag and turn it into a spatial bag, giving it space far greater than its physical limits. And the spatial ring was one level higher than the spatial bag.
If a magic scroll was expensive to the point that theres no market for it, then that spatial ring was a compete legendary existence.
Currently, nearly all the enchanters that could make spatial rings have died out. All the remaining spatial rings are old treasures that shouldnt be able to be bought with just money!
It might look like an ordinary ring, but it had an entire dimension inside it, the scrolls that appeared out of thin air was hidden inside of it!
That dark sheepskin scroll was secured with a thin red string, the edges adorned with exquisite engravings, it was clearly not a normal item.
How many scrolls were inside the ring? It couldnt be stuffed full with them, right?
Shebe didnt believe that Rosie could be that rich, using the spatial ring to hold magic scrolls, this already wasnt a problem of money. Just with these things, Rosie could obtain land, a title and become a feudal lord!
For some reason, Shebe thought of an ancient legend, a couple of thousands of years ago, in the capital of an Eastern country, there was a girl that was a master of martial arts. Her surname was also Lin like Lin Xiao, and her father was the leader of the WuLin. She made her own special move, and could turn money into power. She had no equal and could even slaughter the gods!
Her name was Lin Yue
Cough, but that was just a legend, but regarding using money to defeat their opponents, Rosie was probably even better at it than that Lin girl.
Tsk, do you think you can do whatever you want just because youre rich? Shebe bit her lips and sternly asked.
Although her teammates werent in danger, they couldnt fight anymore and could only lie on the ground howling in pain.
Sorry, I really can, but I dont think youll ever be able to understand. Rosie smirked and touched her ring again.
Two more magic scrolls appeared out of nowhere, for a total of four. She looked confident, like she already had her fingers on the button to fire missiles and could release it at any time.
Sis w-what should we do? Sheila nervously ran up next to Shebe.
Damn it!
Poverty restricted her imagination, if she knew that Rosie hid something so powerful, they would have changed their targets.
But now, they already lost their preemptive strike opportunity and now their ambush became a face to face fight. The most rational choice would be to temporarily retreat with their injured teammates and then make other plans after they recover.
But Shebe didnt want to let go of such a precious opportunity.
Sheila, cover me! Shebe leaned next to Sheilas ears and whispered, Although she has a lot of magic scrolls, do you still remember that weakness?
Weakness? Sis, youre saying
Thats right! We only have one chance!
Okay!
Sheila nodded her head in understanding, then drew her bow and prepared to attack.
Hmph, its useless, just obediently surrender!
Rosie didnt want to use what was hidden in her ring, that was the trump card her brother gave her to use in a life and death situation, but since they wanted to fight to the death, then she has to give them a taste!
Even if she used up all the magic scrolls in her ring, she wouldnt even be able to finish using them in an hour. Although that was all the money she saved up for the past years, it would be worth it!
She didnt believe that they had a way to break through her unlimited scroll usage magic tool.
Riiiiiip she tore another scroll, a strong magic instantly appeared without any chant or circuit.
Fireblast?
Successive crimson firebombs exploded out, they didnt dare to face them head-on and could only dodge left and right.
Bam, bam, bam, none of them hit, but Rosie didnt care and tore another scroll.
It was still fireblast.
The flying firebombs chased them all over the place, Shiela wanted to fire an arrow, but she couldnt find the chance and could only run around.
Riiiiip another one.
Seeing Rosie waste those scrolls, Shebes heart was aching my god, how enviable. If she had that much money, she wouldnt come here to suffer, what a waste of money!
The first weakness of magic scrolls was control.
Compared to casting magic by yourself, the power of the scroll was external, so the caster had no way of controlling it. Even if Rosie looked impressive tossing the firebombs around, but they could easily avoid them, so what she was doing was completely meaningless.
After a couple of dodges, Shebe squeezed through a crevice between the firebombs and found an opportunity to approach.
Arc pierce!
She reverse gripped her dagger, her entire body was enveloped with a silver-white aura, instantly raising her speed several fold and closed the gap between her and Rosie.
Hmph, have a taste of electricity as well! Rosie disdainfully sneered.
She pulled open another scroll.
Sis, be careful!
Sheila knew from afar that must have been the defensive magic, thunderbomb! If Shebe was too close, she would end up like their other two teammates.
Yet Shebe just smiled slightly, suddenly stopped advancing and leaped up several meters over Rosies head.
What?
Rosie thought that she was planning on getting close to attack her so she cast thunderbomb to protect herself, but she just jumped away and she couldnt take back the scroll that she already tore.
That being the second weakness, no take backs.
Now!
Shebe loudly yelled as she landed.
An arrow pierced through the silent forest as a response.
Rosies heart sank, she knew that was the arrow Sheila fired, so she tore another scroll for self defence.
Another thunderbomb directly blew away the arrow, and as the electric current dissipated, Shebe appeared again!
Arc pierce!
Rosie was tricked into using both remaining scrolls on hand, and she had to retrieve more from within the ring, but Shebe wouldnt give her the chance.
Ah? N-no!
Rosie was finally panicking.
She never thought they would trick her into purposely using her scrolls and take advantage of that short gap when shes out to attack. Without the scrolls, she was helpless.
Rosie regretted it, she thought she could win easily with the scrolls, but even they couldnt make up the difference for her strength and lack of actual combat experience.
She was finished.
Just as all her hope was turning to dust, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Didnt I tell you to yell when youre in danger?
A flash of light passed by.
Different from thunderbomb, it was much more blinding and was mixed with wind and thunder.
Undulating blade, thunder wind slash.
