White Online

A drop of sweat trailed down Isaac's face while his exhaustion was catching up.

[HP: 175/205]

Isaac took a quick glimpse of his HP and was slightly relieved to have still enough HP to survive at least one attack. Once he got hit by HolySword's shield, he lost 30 HP, which was indeed terrifying; he can't imagine what kind of damage he would suffer from a sword strike.

HolySword also kept a close eye on his own HP.

[HP: 181/217]

He lost around 36 HP from the ice bullet, which injured his arm that caused the loss of HP.

He saw Isaac's HP bar floating in the air and was not even the slightest happy about having more HP. It was expected that he, as Paladin, would focus on HP, but it was not by much!

HolySword was truly shocked that Marksman like Isaac put so much effort into Vitality, while the rest of the Shooter Classes focused on their Special and Agility stats.

He doesn't know whether it is too smart for him to understand the reasoning for Isaac's choice, but he feels like it was a mistake on his part.

Isaac took a short breath and saw HolySword's defense being as sturdy as ever.

'His skill cooldown has probably ended by now... Time to see just how strong his defense is.' The next moment caused everyone to widen their eyes in surprise.

Without any notice.

Isaac ended the stalemate and unleashed a storm of Ice bullets!

[Icy Shot!]

[Icy Shot!]

[Icy Shot!]

[Icy Shot!]

[Icy Shot!]

[Icy Shot!]

He kept squeezing the trigger and felt the recoil rocking his shoulder, but he didn't stop firing.

He tried to see the full capacity of Icy Shot and if it has any disadvantages.

HolySword widened his eyes in shock and hid behind the shield, he heard the sound of ice cracking and hitting his shield, which also made his body stumble backward, but it was nothing that he couldn't handle.

But, another problem arose. He felt his hand, which was carrying the shield, starting to become colder, and the reason was apparent.

A layer of ice was fully covering the surface of the shield, which also transferred the cold towards HolySword's arm.

''Huff...'' Again, he took another breath of cold air and knew that he needed to do something before things turned ugly.

Isaac stopped firing and also took a puff of cold air. His hands were trembling while the layer of ice completely blocked his Musket Rifle's barrel, which makes firing more impossible.

''I-I-I see...'' He said with his teeth clanking, which made it apparent that Isaac was feeling a great amount of cold.

''I-It has quite b-big of a side effect...'' He turned the Musket Rifle sideways and saw the barrel being covered with a layer of ice, which means it would be impossible to fire even normal bullets.

HolySword peeked behind the shield and widened his eyes after seeing Isaac's condition.

'Of course... Every skill has side effects...' He smirked and thought that Isaac was foolish, but he didn't mind; it would make winning easier for him.

Isaac used his left hand and kept punching the layer of the ice, it started cracking fairly soon, but before it was completely broken, he heard approaching footsteps.

HolySword was once again rushing with his body glowing and his shield ready to smash any obstacles.

[Righteous Path!]

The shield started glowing in bright white light, which forced every spectator to turn their heads away.

Isaac, this time didn't completely turn his head away. Instead, he lowered his gaze and looked straight towards HolySword's feet.

This way, he knew how far his opponent was.

After HolySword reached an attacking range he is comfortable with, he pushed his shield forwards and expected to hear the sound of flesh getting hit, but instead of hearing that, he heard... Nothing.

His rush lasted for another ten meters with his shield still pushing forwards, but he didn't feel like he hit anyone.

He looked confused and moved his shield to the side, so he could see in front of him, and the sight he saw made him pale considerably.

Isaac was holding his Musket Rifle with the layer of ice removed; the barrel pointed straight at his torso.

'I see...' HolySword wryly smiled and forgot about one of the advantages of Shooter Classes. Their great movement speed.

Once he pushed his shield forwards, he expected to Isaac get hit when he was trying to dodge, but instead of dodging, he ran backwards with a speed that was beyond HolySword's; that's why he couldn't hit him because Isaac was simply faster.

*BANG!*

Isaac squeezed the trigger and felt his Musket Rifle tremble after the shot. It felt like recoil was much bigger than before, but Isaac felt like something was inside the barrel; it could have been small ice blocks.

But, he didn't care because the bullet left the barrel successfully, and HolySword was an only meter away; there was no way it could miss.

And... It didn't miss.

*SPURT!*

The bullet pierced through HolySword's torso and exited from the back with fully covered in blue liquid.

HolySword paled as his HP started reducing in dangerous amount.

[-151 HP]

[HP: 30/217]

Isaac quickly put his finger back on the trigger and fired once more.

*BANG!*

The bullet left like a cannon; this time, nothing was blocking it inside the barrel.

*SWOOSH!*

But...

HolySword moved the shield in front of him as fast as he could and blocked the incoming bullet, but the impact of the attack was too strong, which caused him to stumble backwards, and he wasn't far from falling down on his butt.

Isaac seeing a winning near, rushed forwards with the thin blade ready to kill his opponent.

But then...

''Huff...'' HolySword put the shield in front of him and the sword into a slashing stance, but he also decided to use the second skill he received from level 25!

[Hero's Rising!]

Isaac halted his steps with disbelief filling his face, ''That's... Unfair.''

A smirk appeared on HolySword's face as he saw notifications popping up in front of him.

[+100 HP!]

[HP: 130/217]
