Chapter 711 - BLESSING OF ISIS
Chapter 711 – BLESSING OF ISIS
LUO JIN arrived at that conclusion because of the mannequin that released green smoke and those vials that floated around Lovelee. Not to mention, the corrosive property of that vial with black liquid in it.
Alchemists belonged to a special class alongside Blacksmiths. The former could create potions while the latter could forge weapons. They were the only classes that could set up shops and sell whatever they made to other players.
The keyword here was the word 'creation'. The things that Lovelee had shown so far, as well as the things she had said, showed that she created these things that she had used to attack him. From that mannequin to those vials.
After that realization, it came off as a surprise to him. After all, Alchemists and Blacksmiths were not known to participate in events like this. Heck, they didn't even have their own PvP ranking. Because most of them were known for doing business instead of really playing the game.
It's no wonder that Lovelee didn't use any weapons like other players. Because she didn't need to. She made her own 'weapons' that she could use to attack her opponents.
If Luo Jin was one of the spectators, he would probably feel admiration towards the other. After all, not many Alchemists would think of participating in this Carnival. Especially when they were not a class that was made for fighting. Even so, she still managed to get to the quarter finals.
But this was the end of her journey in this Carnival. If he prolonged this more, who knew what kind of tricks this girl would pull next. To make sure that this fight wouldn't have a second round, he decided to use a one-hit kill skill – [Guillotine Shot].
It's a skill that could kill an opponent in just one shot. But there were prerequisites for it to work. One, the target's HP should be less than half. And two, the target should be shot at a close distance. The current situation coincidentally fit the prerequisites. So, Luo Jin did not hesitate to pull the trigger and used [Guillotine Shot].
Because the other was hit too much by his surprised attack earlier, Lovelee did not have time to dodge or even do anything for that matter. And so, she was successfully hit by the bullet that came out from one of Luo Jin's guns.
"Aw, shoot," Lovelee said while looking down at the hole on her chest. Then, she raised her head and looked at the young master in front of her. "You really are quite cold-hearted. And here I thought I could promote my new shop if I at least enter the semi-finals."
That's the last thing she said before completely turning into light particles.
Luo Jin raised one of his brows. So, that was the reason she joined in this Carnival. To promote her shop. Well, it would indeed be a good promotion if she made her name known here. But that was only possible if her matches were memorable.
He shrugged. That's not his problem though. He took a deep breath. Finally, it's over. A big grin appeared on his face.
He won.
He took out the necklace that was a major deciding factor for his win. It was a silver chain attached to a pendant in the shape and appearance of a moon disk. The [Blessing of Isis] was a high-grade item on the legendary level given to him by Su Yuqi. She gave it to him just a few days before the start of the tournament round.
He could still remember that moment.
=====
Luo Jin looked at the necklace that landed on his palm. Yes, landed. It's because Su Yuqi suddenly threw it to him.
"What's this for?" he asked in confusion.
"It's something that could negate any status ailment. Of course, it's not something omnipotent. It could only negate a status ailment thrice a day," Su Yuqi answered.
But even after hearing that, Luo Jin still felt confused. "But why give it to me?"
"I noticed during the prelims of the Rookie Carnival that you didn't have anything an item like that. Then I got this thing the other day and thought of giving it to you," Su Yuqi said with a shrug, as if she only decided to give it to him on a whim.
Even though it felt like it was only a passing thought for the other, it was not the same for Luo Jin. He remembered how he struggled with those flowers in the Spring area during the preliminary. And the fact that Su Yuqi noticed that was enough for him to feel moved.
In fact, he was so moved he felt like his whole body was floating in the air right now. If his avatar had a tail, it would probably be wagging right now to show his happiness. And if this was reality, he could probably even hear the beating of his heart.
He gazed down and looked at the necklace on his palm. At the end, he could only mutter the words;
"Thank you."
=====
Luo Jin hadn't thought that the necklace would actually come to his rescue during this fight. But his win became even more meaningful because of that. Because this necklace was given to him by Su Yuqi.
The smoke that surrounded the rink because of the iceberg slowly disappeared. The moment it was completely gone, the small figure of a gnome with black hair was the only one seen on the rink.
Seeing that, Luo Yan finally let out the breath he had been holding. He didn't know how long he had kept it. Probably when that iceberg fell and he couldn't see what was happening on the rink clearly. Or maybe even before that. But now that he could see Luo Jin, he could finally feel relieved.
He wasn't the only one who felt that.
Luo Wei Tian, who had been staring intently at the rink since earlier, suddenly stood up from his seat and jumped in excitement. "Ah Ren, Xiao Jin won!"
Luo Ren smiled at that. "Yes, Dad."
Another one whose lips turned up because of this result was the pink-haired pixie sitting at the corner.
