Chapter 135

I’m not the ultimate boss, do I have to be targeted like this?

1Despite thinking so, Roland clicked into this thread and started reading it .

The original poster claimed to have found the hidden profession of Spell Breaker, which was a special profession specifically targeting magic professions .

As long it was a profession using magic or theurgy, it would be bad luck to encounter them .

And among spellcasters, Mages should be the strongest, but a while ago, he felt like a hero who learned the art of dragon-slaying but had no dragons to slay . After all, Mages were few and far between .

Bullying the Warlocks and Priests was no fun at all, and only by defeating powerful Mages could he feel somewhat worthy of existence .

After all, apart from having a bit of an advantage over magic professions, Spell Breakers were a bit weaker against Warriors and agility professions .

So whether Mages are strong or not, and how many of them there are, these questions were of existential significance to Spell Breakers .

Just when he felt that he might not be able to do anything of significance in the future, Roland appeared .

2He was happy . He wanted Roland to become stronger . This way he would have a higher sense of accomplishment by defeating the strongest Mage on the entire server .

At the same time, he also wished that more powerful Mages would appear, or else how could Spell Breakers appear important and powerful .

Ever since Roland became famous, he had been following Roland like a stalker .

1And all this time, he had an obsessive sense of superiority over Roland, believing that he should still have some advantage over the strongest Mage .

…Until two days ago, when he saw Roland blowing down the city wall with a big fireball on the live stream .

His sense of superiority disappeared .

“Countering a profession only grants a relatively larger advantage . However, that advantage can be wiped out or even overtaken . Our magic resistance as Spell Breakers is indeed high, but that has its limits . That fireball, not to mention me, even my teacher wouldn’t be able to resist it . Now the profession of Mage is quite polarized: ordinary Mages are frighteningly weak, many of them can’t even let out a basic Inferior Fireball; whereas the strong ones, like Roland, seem to be as exaggerated as a boss . ”

1After complimenting Roland, the original poster went on to write, “We Spell Breakers can disrupt the magical elements within a certain range, and increase the casting difficulty for Mages by a level or two, but this disruption is meaningless with Roland’s level of magic control . I’ve said all this: it’s not that Roland is invincible, he has obvious weaknesses as well .

“First of all, casting a spell at full strength requires a long time of ‘chanting’ to achieve enough power .

“The magic he blew down the city walls with took up to 13 seconds or so to prepare, which is pretty deadly in a fight—we have plenty of time to attack him .

1“If he’s under heavy protection, it’ll be necessary to have sniper-type archers, from a hundred or two hundred meters away, strike him at long range, preferably attacking his eyes .

1“If lucky, it is possible to kill the spellcaster directly, and if unlucky, it can also serve to disrupt the spellcaster’s incantation .

“When the spellcaster’s lengthy incantation magic is restricted, they will definitely turn to a relatively less powerful instantaneous magic .

“This kind of magic is still very deadly, but it won’t be strong enough to blow down the walls of the city, and this is where the magic-resistant equipment comes in—it can effectively resist the damage of instant cast magic .

“That’s why I personally believe that to deal with a boss player like Roland, you need to form a squad of at least five people, and the configuration must have a long-range expert and spellcasters or Spell Breakers who know Dimensional Anchor . After all, last I saw Roland had uploaded a model of the Teleportation Spell . In other words, he’s getting into spatial magic . In order to prevent him from strategically maneuvering to kite us, the Dimensional Anchor must be brought along to block off a large area of spatial magic effects .

1“A Mage without spatial magic is no different from a lackadaisical person .

“This is just my humble opinion as a Spell Breaker, but finally, I’d like to ask the development team whether making the Mage so strong fitted their ideology . Don’t classes need to be balanced? Even I, a Spell Breaker, feel like I can’t handle him, so how can the other players get an advantage over him?”

1Then the players who posted replies got into a fight about this .

“I really don’t understand, why does a Mage player have a boss strategy too? He’s not Sanji Dao1 . ”

“This one is much fiercer than Sanji Dao . You didn’t watch him bombing the city walls a few days ago . He’s a god . ”

1“Thirteen seconds of casting a single skill is only good for being a glass cannon . Once he’s targeted, he’s trash . ”

“Don’t forget, Roland is so scary now when he’s only level five . If you let him reach level 10, is it possible for him to rain down meteorites from where you can’t see him?”

2“As I recall, some Mages seem to have skills in secondary stealth spells, skills similar to that of bandits . ”

“A Mage’s magic is only something you can’t imagine, there’s nothing they can’t do . Whether it’s stealth, enhancement, or summoning, all of it is no problem . It just depends on whether they can learn or not . ”

“I think he just has a head-start advantage, and I don’t believe he’ll always be able to sit in the position of the strongest Mage . Can those rich people watch him act so arrogantly?”

“Sorry, Principal Huang is a rich man and has a 250 IQ, but he only plays Warriors . ”

1“Hey, feel free to discuss, but don’t drag me into it . ”

As soon as a golden ID, symbolic of wealth, replied, the entire thread was sidetracked .

“Principal Huang has made an appearance . Are you short on leg accessories1?”

“Principal Huang, can you give me your dog’s unwanted Apple watch?”

1Roland closed the forums, feeling a bit of a headache because of how he had been targeted by these idiotic players .

But when he thought about it, he realized it was quite normal .

This game wouldn’t prohibit PK between players . In other words, in the future, group battles and guild battles should be a common thing . It would be impossible for F6 to stay immune from this, and one day they’d come into conflict with other guilds .

And he was probably the professional with the most destructive power on the surface at this stage .

This was a great threat in a guild war .

Therefore it was indeed logical for those guild executives to use him as an imaginary enemy .

It seems like I’ll have to be careful when I go out in the future . Maybe there will be bandit players or assassins secretly trying to conspire against me .

As long as he kept the information of his level a secret, the threat would be greatly reduced .

No… I have to find a way to learn to think anti-stealth magic . This Spell Breaker’s post put a certain amount of pressure on Roland .

With this thought in mind, Roland asked the other Mage players in the penguin group, but they all said that they had never seen anti-stealth magic .

Four days later, Roland returned to the Magic Tower . He didn’t rest and went straight to find Aldo .

After hearing Roland’s intention, Aldo smiled . “There are many anti-stealth spells, but only two of them are more practical . One is the most basic, Manifest Dust Shimmer, and the other is the Small Wishing Spell—just wish ‘I can see the invisible’ as a casting condition will do . ”

Roland asked urgently, “Where do you learn this?”

He had already rummaged through the library of the Magic Tower and knew that these two spells were not recorded there .

“Manifest Dust Shimmer is a Transmutation type of spell, you can learn it from an old Mage named Kemir at the capital . And as for the Small Wishing Spell, you’ll have to go to the Church of Destiny and donate money . ”

“How much donation money is required?” asked Roland . He remembered there was a church for the goddess of divination in the city .

“At least forty gold coins . ” Aldo smiled .

How expensive! Roland felt his headache intensify . He thought he was already rich, but the gold coins in his Backpack weren’t enough to learn a single spell .
