Chapter 603: The Unexpected Gap
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were only two possibilities why a person would charge forward without replenis.h.i.+ng his health after getting hit by a BOSS to a state like w.a.n.g Yu. One was that the person was confident he could attack the BOSS successfully without getting hit. The other possibility was to seek death intentionally.
Even though the G.o.d of Puppets only had 10% of his attributes, even an entire squad of players wouldn’t be able to fight steadily against him. This was, of course, unless they had already thrown themselves at the BOSS several times and was able to comprehend his fighting style and unique skill.
Without mentioning the fact that there was no way w.a.n.g Yu could defeat the BOSS alone, w.a.n.g Yu only had a few exchanges with the G.o.d of Puppets. It was already negligible for w.a.n.g Yu to survive a few minutes against the BOSS, let alone not getting hit.
Therefore, in 9527’s eyes, w.a.n.g Yu was intentionally sending himself to death.
At this point, w.a.n.g Yu had already wielded his sword and started his battle against the G.o.d of Puppets.
G.o.d of Puppets didn’t alter his fighting style as he swung his spear at w.a.n.g Yu with his right hand. Just like before, w.a.n.g Yu avoided the spear. Following that, he made his way to the right side of G.o.d of Puppets’ back waist.
“Ziiii~”
Once again, G.o.d of Puppets’ waist twisted drastically as his long sword slashed towards w.a.n.g Yu.
w.a.n.g Yu smiled faintly as he took a short step back. G.o.d of Puppets’ sword brushed past w.a.n.g Yu’s face as w.a.n.g Yu jumped forward into the white halo. The sword in his hand trembled and three sword flowers emerged. They pierced right through the G.o.d of Puppets’ waist.
-2451
-3214
-5512
-100
Four red numbers appeared, and w.a.n.g Yu’s last strike even resulted in the Sudden Strike effect.
“F*ck!!!” “This, this is impossible…”
At the sight of this, 9527’s eyeb.a.l.l.s almost flew out.
“How can he not get hit without the Priest? Why is he standing there?!! Standing there allows him to avoid Webster’s attacks?” Even though 9527 was in shock, he was still considered a high-level worker in the company. He was instantly able to tell that the reason w.a.n.g Yu could dodge the BOSS’s attack was his positioning.
w.a.n.g Yu is a martial arts expert who places extreme importance on attacking the gap. Because of w.a.n.g Yu’s innate talent, he was always able to find the breakthrough point of top opponents during the initial exchanges of blows with them, let alone a dead wooden pile like the G.o.d of Puppets.
w.a.n.g Yu’s current position was the G.o.d of Puppets’ gap.
It was true that the G.o.d of Puppets’ normal attacks could reach a maximum of 300. However, that would only be possible with the use of a long weapon like his spear. His sword was a shorter weapon so his normal attacks couldn’t reach beyond 150. Therefore, as long as w.a.n.g Yu was standing within 150 of the G.o.d of Puppets, the G.o.d of Puppets would use his sword to attack.
The range of the G.o.d of Puppets’ [Holy Sparkle] was 100. While w.a.n.g Yu would still be able to land an attack from within the ring with his fist or dagger, there was a limit to w.a.n.g Yu’s movement speed. G.o.d of Puppets’ twisting of his body and slas.h.i.+ng with his sword were at extreme speed. If he were to attack from within the halo, even w.a.n.g Yu wasn’t capable enough to dodge the attacks in time.
If he were standing close to the white halo, w.a.n.g Yu could still dodge the G.o.d of Puppets’ attack easily.
Because his long pole was too long, it would affect the effectiveness of his attacks. Hence, w.a.n.g Yu chose to use his long sword instead.
w.a.n.g Yu’s sword range was around 120. If he took a step backwards, he could avoid the range of the G.o.d of Puppets’ sword. If he took a step forward, he could enter the halo. This was the most ideal position to deal with the G.o.d of Puppets.
Even 9527 never imagined that there was such a gap in the BOSS which he designed only one solution to deal with.
w.a.n.g Yu’s fighting methods were extremely graceful without any hesitation or doubts. After one clean strike, he slipped away immediately.
When G.o.d of Puppets was swinging his long spear around again, w.a.n.g Yu slipped to the other side.
G.o.d of Puppets twisted his waist to face w.a.n.g Yu and just like before, w.a.n.g Yu took a step back before moving forward. Three more sword flowers pierced through G.o.d of Puppets’ neck which took away close to 10,000 HP again.
“…”
9527 was dumbfounded as he had completely forgotten about the issue of external modification. Presently, there was only one thought in his mind, “F*ck! Can this fella really fight the BOSS without getting hurt?”
Webster was actually a BOSS meant for a large-scale quest, not some ordinary BOSS meant for some ordinary squad. Webster was meant for a few hundred players to deal with and not by a single fella like w.a.n.g Yu. When he saw what w.a.n.g Yu was doing, 9527 was starting to have doubts in his life.
After the G.o.d of Puppets was successfully attacked on several occasions, his body started to flash in white light. He pierced his spear forward and the shattered air turned into a dazzling radiance of light towards w.a.n.g Yu.
w.a.n.g Yu managed to dodge the light attack just like before. Suddenly, G.o.d of Puppets’ body twisted yet again as his other hand sent out two sword energies flying towards w.a.n.g Yu from an unbelievable angle.
One of w.a.n.g Yu’s hand held onto his sword while the other one grabbed onto the G.o.d of Puppets’ wings to block the attack. After a powerful impact, half of the wing was torn apart. A ma.s.sive -24512 appeared on top of the G.o.d of Puppets’ head.
“What?! This fella is not giving any chance at all!”
Looking at the damage done, w.a.n.g Yu was taken aback. Even with the extremely high defence of the G.o.d of Puppets, one attack on itself took away over 20,000 HP. If the attacks landed on him, it wouldn’t end well. Fortunately, he didn’t take any health potions to replenish his health. Either way, he was going to get killed in an instant so why should he waste the potion…
If 9527 knew what was going on in w.a.n.g Yu’s mind, he would probably vomit blood. Initially, he thought w.a.n.g Yu was confident enough to kill the BOSS without getting hurt. Who knew that w.a.n.g Yu was actually only trying to save some money.
After losing half a wing to his own attack, the G.o.d of Puppets was clearly not very pleasant. With a twist of his right arm, he started attacking w.a.n.g Yu again. His hand was certainly quick to react…
w.a.n.g Yu pressed onto the G.o.d of Puppets’ shoulder as he pushed himself upwards. Riding on the shoulder of the G.o.d of Puppets, his long sword twined onto the G.o.d of Puppets’ neck and ferociously slash across it.
-11245
Just like that, the G.o.d of Puppets was forced into a bleeding state.
For a non-intelligent BOSS like this, no matter how strong it was, it would be quite simple to deal with once a player was able to figure out the breakthrough point. As the guarding BOSS of a large-scale dungeon, only the G.o.d of Puppets’ skill was slightly more despicable and unreasonable. To an expert like w.a.n.g Yu, this was nothing at all. As long as he was cautious enough, he could really kill this BOSS all by himself.
“Heh, Chief Hao, more than five minutes have pa.s.sed… There are no abnormalities on the data too.” Little Zhang looked sheepishly at 9527.
“…” 9527 frowned as he said, “Pa.s.s me that keyboard!”
“Haha.” Little Zhang and the other colleagues around couldn’t help but laugh. Little Zhang said, “I’m just joking with you! How can I really let you eat the keyboard? Moreover, what will I use if you really eat mine…”
9527 was also aware that Little Zhang was merely giving him some pride to salvage so he responded, “With a player like this around, is our game even challenging at all?”
“En, but I suppose we can increase the difficulty, right?” Little Zhang asked.
“I guess so!” 9527 answered.
