Chapter 394: Every Second Count
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
It was true that magician had to recite their magic skill. However, they only needed to say out the correct spells given by the system. There was no rule implying that the louder you shout, the stronger the skill… If this was the case, wouldn"t musicians be the strongest magicians in this game?
Take Ming Du as an example, the volume at which he recited a spell was as loud as a mosquito"s fart. He was nothing like Jade Beauty, who shouted her lungs out…
This [Dancing Ghost Vines] had no preposition for her to read out. Even so, this skill was like the trajectory of an archer"s arrow. It was a very long process.
From the emerging of the vines to forming a prison, this whole process would take at least two seconds. Two seconds were definitely enough for experts like the members of the Quan Zhen Sect to break free. If this wasn"t their first time witnessing such a skill, it would be impossible to trap so many of them so easily.
Moreover, Jade Beauty shouted so loudly before executing her skill. This gave w.a.n.g Yu the early warning that he needed and that was when he s.h.i.+fted to the back of Jade Beauty. If she wasn"t a female, w.a.n.g Yu would have crushed and killed her a few times.
"Tsk!" Jade Beauty"s face turned all red when she heard the words of w.a.n.g Yu. She grunted coldly before pointing her staff at w.a.n.g Yu, "Intertwining Roots, Bind!"
Following Jade Beauty"s command, three tree roots emerged from the ground like pythons as they aimed at w.a.n.g Yu"s legs.
w.a.n.g Yu didn"t panic as he jumped backwards casually. He changed his weapon mid-air into the single-handed sword. He swung his sword downwards and cut off the front most root. Using only one leg, he jumped forward and sideways to cut off the other two roots.
While temporarily ignoring the power of sword techniques, most of these techniques were extremely pleasant to the eye. w.a.n.g Yu executed a skill called [Moon Chasing Meteor]. w.a.n.g Yu was confident and exceedingly das.h.i.+ng as he executed this move. Everyone by the side watched on with their mouth wide open. In that moment, everyone forgot about the attack.
"This, this is impossible!" Looking at this, Jade Beauty was dumbfounded.
Jade Beauty was not shocked at w.a.n.g Yu"s excellent display of his sword skills. Instead, she was impressed by the judgement of these two strikes.
In <>, the set up for judgement was not much different from other ordinary online games. Jobs of greater power were naturally of greater judgement. If two people of the same jobs were to attack each other, the one with the higher attack would have a greater judgement.
Similarly, when a close combatant goes up against a long distance attacker, the greater judgement would be dependent on their attacks.
Magicians were known for their explosive and high damage attacks. Even if she wasn"t an experienced wood attribute magician, the damages she could cause was not something any other jobs could match.
Even so, Jade Beauty"s earlier skill was sliced apart by w.a.n.g Yu"s sword. This meant that even with her magician"s attack judgement, it was still suppressed by a Pugilist with no outstanding moves. How could Jade Beauty bear with such a humiliation?
"Don"t bother about him! Hurry up and attack the BOSS!" After regaining her composure, Jade Beauty immediately turned and commanded her subordinates.
In just two rounds of attacks, Jade Beauty could sense how strong this Pugilist was. Therefore, she planned for the worst in her heart.
According to the system in <>, there was an extremely low possibility that the items in the bag would drop out. Jade Beauty"s team was the first one to land the attack on the BOSS. As long as they managed to kill the BOSS and pick up the rewards, it didn"t matter even if they were all killed. Presently, the BOSS didn"t have much health left so she was determined not to let w.a.n.g Yu land the final blow.
When the two teams heard Jade Beauty"s instructions, they were indeed slightly hesitant. However, they trusted her and hurried to surround the BOSS.
"Magic barrier! Rise!"
"Extremely Toxic Vines! Intertwine!"
With one swing of her left hand, Jade Beauty managed to bring up a magic barrier by her side. With the other hand, she controlled a thick vine as she sent it towards w.a.n.g Yu.
The vine was filled with thorns with oily green toxic dripping out of it. w.a.n.g Yu had to be cautious as he brought his sword inwards to block the vine from touching his body. Who knew that the power of this vine was so strong that it forced w.a.n.g Yu two metres back?
Just as w.a.n.g Yu managed to regain his balance, the vine charged towards him from above once more. w.a.n.g Yu s.h.i.+fted his legs and his body moved in an odd manner to dodge the incoming vine. Simultaneously, he thrusted his sword forward and pierced through the vine.
Jade Beauty reacted by swinging her staff vigorously so that the vine would swing left and right too. By doing this, she was trying to swing w.a.n.g Yu to death. However, things didn"t turn out the way she expected it to be.
Not only was w.a.n.g Yu not hurt from the vigorous swinging, he was like a leaf in the wind as he was directly flung towards the BOSS.
Jade Beauty was shocked as she shouted hurriedly, "Block him!"
The BOSS"s aggro was initially fixed on the Jade Beauty"s team. After receiving the orders, the Lich Doctor from the dark faction frantically instructed his men to surround w.a.n.g Yu.
The Lich Doctor"s team had a total of ten members too. After four of them were killed by the Quan Zhen Sect earlier, there were only six of them left. There were three Archers, one Guardian, one Lich Doctor and one Magician.
The Guardian was the first one to act as he raised his s.h.i.+eld and charged towards w.a.n.g Yu. w.a.n.g Yu jumped behind the Guardian and executed [Return of a Prodigal Son] with one hand. His sword pierced through the Guardian"s neck from the back. He was instantly killed given the fact that he didn"t have full health when he attacked w.a.n.g Yu.
At this moment, the Magician and Archer"s attacks were already in mid-air.
w.a.n.g Yu, being as skilful as ever, deflected the arrows first before swinging his sword to cleave the incoming icicle. Within seconds, he managed to switch the weapon in his hand into the Universe Sword. Using the blade against the floor, w.a.n.g Yu flew towards the dark faction team.
Without the protect of the Guardian, these fellas were incredibly vulnerable. Just as they saw w.a.n.g Yu flying over, all of them panicked and tried to escape in all four directions.
w.a.n.g Yu landed, swung his blade and the Universe Sword sent out five white light and obliterated everyone in this dark faction team.
At this point, the BOSS was only left with the last 1% of his health.
"You are very impressive." Jade Beauty smiled at w.a.n.g Yu before continuing, "But you"ve got no chance now!"
"Really?" w.a.n.g Yu smiled back as he looked at the back of Jade Beauty. Moments later, thistles and thorns started emerging from all around the BOSS. Everyone surrounding the BOSS was locked within the periphery of these thistles and thorns.
"Sister Jade, what happened?"
Looking at all these thistles and thorns, everyone was in shock as they looked over at Jade Beauty. Afterwards, her expression became gloomy.
"Not me…" Jade Beauty was equally as shocked when this happened. Before she could realise what was going on, an arrow was shot right through BOSS Feige"s throat. Feige instantly turned into a ray of white light.
After the BOSS"s death, the items dropped from him was picked up by another two people who came out of nowhere.
"Hehe did you forget about us?" Fearless and co. chuckled as they asked.
