Chapter 1277: Omnidirectional
“Hehe!”
After getting the notification that Sacred Mountain was killed, Ming Du proudly put on a triumphant expression .
The Kyushu Squad was confused at the outcome .
One had to know that Sacred Mountain was in [Stealth] and he was situated a significant distance away from Ming Du . There was no way that Ming Du knew Sacred Mountain’s exact position .
Regardless of any job, one had to have a target before executing any skill . It was clear that Ming Du had kept precise tabs on his opponent .
The instant Sacred Mountain went into [Stealth], Ming Du had already begun calculating his coordinates .
Ming Du’s judgement was based on two assumptions . Even though he was not as precise in tracking his opponent compared to Spring Halo, he could compensate it with an AOE skill . As long as Sacred Mountain was within range, his suppression advantage against him was enough to lead him to victory .
Such a strategy was seemingly oversimplistic and crude . However, on closer scrutiny, it was detailed and even ingenious . Even though many of the players present were professional level experts, they had yet to see a Magician fighting an Assassin in this manner .
This strategy was effective because there was only one path up the mountain . Sacred Mountain was defeated partially by the terrain .
As a top expert, Sacred Mountain had to put his best foot forward even if he knew that the odds were stacked against him .
After Sacred Mountain was sent out of the arena, the third player from Kyushu Squad was chosen . It was Omnidirectional .
Omnidirectional was tall and burly with an imposing disposition . With a massive shield in his hand, it was clear as day that he was a Guardian .
Guardians were the most unique out of tanks . Even though Guardians’ attack output and defense were not as dominant compared to Holy Knight, as long as their shield was not broken, they were unafraid of any attacks .
There were critical qualitative differences between the shields of Guardians and other classes . For a Holy Knight, the amount of defense they could muster with their shield was limited . An example of it was similar to Wang Yu’s Energy Shield . It would easily shatter in the face of enemy collision .
Therefore, more than half of a Guardian combat strength was determined by the quality of their shield .
For Crotch Lord, his individual strength was not up to the mark of a professional level player . However, after he had equipped the Shield of God, he could easily match up to any of them . This was the true potential of good equipment .
Omnidirectional’s shield looked extremely sturdy as it resembled a heavy door panel . But the design of it was decrepit which did not look compatible with top masters such as himself .
It was not that the other players wanted to judge his combat ability by his appearance . It was simply that the finest equipment in the game always had the most intricate designs . Omnidirectional’s shield did not look like a decent equipment at all .
Ming Du celebrated in his heart upon seeing that his next opponent was a Guardian .
What was the skill that Warriors and Magicians were most afraid in a PK? It was naturally kiting . If the Warrior was not sufficient fast, he would be kited to death by a Magician .
Furthermore, Guardians were famous for their slow movement speeds . There was a significant distance from the bottom to the peak of the mountain . Ming Du was confident that he could defeat Omnidirectional before he got to him .
Omnidirectional was seemingly self-assured in his abilities . Once the match began, he slowly trudged up the mountain carrying his heavy shield .

Ming Du gazed upon Omnidirectional’s arrogant demeanor and prepared to strike him . As soon as Omnidirectional got into the attack range of Ming Du, Ming Du raised his staff and summoned a row of [Icicle] to target his opponent .
[Icicle] was a basic Magician skill . It did not have high damage but it possessed a 60% slow effect . It was strongest slow within the whole arsenal of Ice Element magic . Magicians would often use to skill to slow their opponent to aid them to kite their opponents .
In the face of the [Icicle], Omnidirectional did not even evade as he raised his shield and nestled his body behind it .
“Dang, dang, dang!”
There was a series of crisp crashes which resulted in Ming Du’s [Icicle] being completely blocked by Omnidirectional’s shield .
At this moment, there was a simple inscription that was illuminated on Omnidirectional’s shield . The [Icicle] was broken down into its constituent magic energy and absorbed by the shield . The shield shone a little brighter as its appearance was improved marginally .
“Eh?”
Seeing that Omnidirectional’s shield could absorb magic, Ming Du felt a sense of deja vu . The players from the Quan Zhen Sect were also taken aback .
Sh*t, why was this scene so familiar?
Crotch Lord interjected from the side, “That’s a magic shield! It can absorb magic damage . We have encountered such a shield before . I still have one with me . ”
“No wonder!” Everyone came to a sudden realisation .

The magic shield was an extremely rare equipment . The common shield that Guardians use could also block magic damage but it had limited efficacy in protecting the user from an overwhelming magic projectile barrage . This was contrasted to the magic shield who could absorb such a magic attack more effectively . It was simply a piece of equipment to counter Magicians .
Omnidirectional was a professional after all . It was not reasonable to assume that his equipment was garbage!
Ming Du also came to the realisation that Omnidirectional was holding a magic shield and it countered his skills . He was not Omnidirectional at this point .
Ming Du quickly formulated a new strategy as he moved towards Omnidirectional and closed their distance . With the twirl of his staff, he slammed it into the ground and created an Earthen Wall that enclosed Omnidirectional .
Following that, Ming Du pointed to the sky with a finger .
“Boom!”
A violent streak of lightning rushed from the sky to strike Omnidirectional .
Omnidirectional unhurriedly raised his shield above his head to meet the attack .
As soon as the lightning made contact with his shield, the magic inscription on it was lit up and the magic attack was silently absorbed into the shield . Once again, the shield brightened in appearance and it looked more regal .
At this instance, Ming Du raised his right hand that held his staff, calling forth flames and lightning that enveloped Omnidirectional .
[Thunderfire]!!

Guardians were so strong and invincible because of the staggering defence that their shields provided .
However, no matter how strong the shield was, there was no way to shield an attack that came from the ground . Ming Du thought, “I shall set fire to your feet and see how you handle it!”
Ming Du’s skill was an early form of an AOE skill . Even though this level of skill could not keep up with the new AOE skills, when Fire and Lightning were combined, they still formed a destructive combination .
After being burnt mercilessly by Ming Du, Omnidirectional’s HP bar slowly went down . He was even trapped in the Earthen Wall and had nowhere to escape .
Just when Ming Du was confident of Omnidirectional’s demise, Omnidirectional suddenly concentrated power in his shield and burst through the way, leaping over Ming Du .
