Chapter 175 Violent Bear Trapped in the Resurrection Altar!
James was a bit taken aback. He remarked, "Alan, you're really gutsy, walking into a trap like that."
Alan just laughed. He joked, "There might be bombs in here."
"Bombs?" James repeated and was shocked.
"Yeah, if you get blown up, try to look cool doing it," Alan joked.
He then led James and Robert to the gates of Lone Wind City.
Instead of walking right up, Alan shot an arrow to break the city gate.
Once the gate was open, every house had its doors tightly shut, like the city had already been conquered.
Just then, a player in full beginner gear showed up in front of Alan.
Pointing his basic staff at Alan, he said, "Ice King, stop pretending."
He sounded super cocky.
Alan looked at this mage player with interest.
Level 21, lower than the average player. Who gave him the guts to challenge Alan?
The player said, "I, Violent Bear, challenge you. Do you dare to fight?"
Alan raised an eyebrow. He was curious why someone would challenge him without a bounty.
Turns out, he was a streamer.
Violent Bear was a streamer who loved jumping on trending events.
He was actually pretty skilled, but his constant attention-seeking kept his level low.
"Trying to get famous off me?" Alan said as he chuckled, then pulled out the Tome of Life and Death and wrote Violent Bear's name in it.
Violent Bear dropped dead on the spot.
Wearing beginner gear, he probably expected to die, which is why he dressed like that.
But Alan didn't bother looting his gear.
This guy challenged him openly, so he had to show him the consequences.
Alan's reputation wasn't something to mess with.
Violent Bear was killed, and while in the resurrection state, he was still talking to his livestream viewers. He said to them, "As expected of Ice King, I admit defeat."
A bunch of viewers started mocking him.
Someone said, "Ice King doesn't need your surrender. You can't resist him."
Another chimed in, "Streamer, you really do anything for attention. Aren't you afraid Ice King will kill you back to level one?"
Violent Bear grinned. He replied, "Ice King isn't the type to hold grudges. Killing me once is enough."
After saying this, Violent Bear entered the resurrection countdown. "Friends, who should we mess with next?"
The livestream viewers were about to stir things up when they saw Violent Bear die again right after resurrecting.
Violent Bear was puzzled.
Violent Bear wondered, 'What's going on? Why did I die again? I checked the kill log, it was Ice King, but I resurrected at the Starcity altar, and he's in Lone Wind City. How did he kill me?'
Seeing Violent Bear die right after resurrecting, his livestream got even more lively.
Someone remarked, "You messed with the wrong person, now you're in trouble."
Another commented, "Do you know how he did it? Lone Wind City is far from Starcity. No matter how powerful Ice King is, he can't attack Starcity from Lone Wind City, right?"
One explained, "Maybe it's a continuous damage skill? Like a mage's burn passive, which can cause damage for fifteen seconds. Ice King's continuous damage might last longer, maybe a minute or even two." This player's analysis convinced many.
Continuous damage skills were rare but not unheard of. About three percent of mages had them.
Alan, the top player in Ragnarok, was the number one player in Stellaria.
On other servers, it wasn't that Alan wasn't powerful, but players were stubborn.
Even though Alan's achievement of conquering Central City was well-known, they still believed some players on their servers were stronger than Alan.
Of course, this didn't affect the judgment of players on the Jinse Empire server.
They didn't care if Alan had a continuous damage skill that lasted a minute or even five minutes.
But their guess wasn't entirely correct.
Alan's Tome of Life and Death could indeed cause continuous damage to a designated target, but it wasn't just a minute or five minutes.
Alan could lock onto a target from any distance until the target was completely dead.
When he locked onto King Rex, Rex had high health, high regeneration, and the palace altar's healing.
Alan's Tome of Life and Death could only cause him a bit of trouble, but just a bit.
As long as Rex stayed in the palace, the continuous damage was useless, which was why Alan couldn't kill him with the Tome of Life and Death before.
Next, a miraculous scene unfolded. Violent Bear would die immediately upon resurrecting.
He quickly dropped from level 21 to level 1.
Even at level 1, he couldn't leave the resurrection altar.
As soon as he resurrected, he would die again.
Violent Bear complained, "What the hell is going on? I can't take it anymore. What kind of powerful skill does Ice King have?"
Violent Bear was getting desperate.
It had been fifteen minutes!
Resurrect and die, without even a chance to leave the resurrection altar.
Seeing Violent Bear so frustrated, his livestream viewers were getting more excited, and the number of viewers kept increasing.
Someone mocked, "Seeing the streamer like this, I feel relieved."
Another remarked, "Not everyone can mess with Ice King's fame. But seriously, isn't Ice King's continuous damage skill a bit too powerful? It's been fifteen minutes already."
One added, "Let's keep watching. I bet the streamer will die for another forty-five minutes. It's reasonable for Ice King's continuous damage skill to last an hour."
They kept discussing.
Meanwhile, the instigator Alan was engaged in a battle of wits with Zoe.
Inside Lone Wind City, it was a scene of devastation!
If those players saw it, they would be shocked and think, 'Is this still the Central City from before?'
Calling it a war-torn city wouldn't be an exaggeration.
With another loud bang, the floor beneath Alan's feet exploded, sending him flying.
He landed after spinning 360 degrees in the air.
[-35800.]
A huge damage number appeared, which was quite terrifying, taking away about 0.4% of Alan's health!!
Alan grumbled, "Another landmine."
Alan frowned. Shortly after entering Lone Wind City, Robert was sent away.
Robert died in a frustratingly sudden explosion, never even seeing what killed him.
James asked, "Alan, what do we do? There are bombs everywhere."
James had high defense, but his health bar was already half gone.
Alan was in worse shape, with only a third of his health left.
