Chapter 642: Do Not Casually Interrupt A Battle Between Experts
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The G.o.d of Puppets’ strike was enough to send a heavy tank like Crotch Lord flying, let alone a Pugilist like w.a.n.g Yu. This strike was truly devastating for w.a.n.g Yu. If it wasn’t for his [Spirit Guard], w.a.n.g Yu would have turned into white light immediately.
However, w.a.n.g Yu wasn’t feeling too good either. Even though the [Spirit Guard] took on the damage, the force of the strike was still there. After getting hit by the G.o.d of Puppets’ mighty force, w.a.n.g Yu’s body flew towards a faraway wall.
“F*ck! Little Meng, look what you’ve done!” Spring Halo couldn’t help but flew into a rage when he saw how w.a.n.g Yu was sent flying.
Everyone knew that w.a.n.g Yu’s [Spirit Guard] was only immune to all attacks on him for 2.5 seconds. However, w.a.n.g Yu had lost his balance and was still flying towards the wall. By the time he struck the wall, the 2.5 seconds would have been over. Players would suffer double damage when they hit a wall and when they crashed onto the ground.
w.a.n.g Yu had lost most of his health so he probably wouldn’t survive the impact against the wall.
The more crucial point was that w.a.n.g Yu was sent flying in the opposite direction. Even if they wanted to soften w.a.n.g Yu’s impact, they wouldn’t be able to reach him in time.
“I… I didn’t know ah…” Ling Longmeng was also dumbfounded because she never imagined that her intention to help w.a.n.g Yu would lead to such an outcome. According to what she had in mind, w.a.n.g Yu should be thanking her for her help. How did this millisecond result in something like this?
A BOSS of this level was certainly not something the players of current stage could deal with. Even a top expert like Fearless was only able to last two rounds. If it wasn’t for w.a.n.g Yu’s innate talent and kung fu, how would he be able to capture the tempo?
For a battle of this calibre, there should be no room for the slightest of error in every move. Helping forcefully was simply unnecessary. After all, w.a.n.g Yu was way too weak in the eyes of the G.o.d of Puppets. The G.o.d of Puppets knew that the slightest of mistake would be enough to kill w.a.n.g Yu.
“In the future, when I never order you to attack, don’t attack! Everyone, disperse and try your best to stall for time!” Spring Halo gave Ling Longmeng an infuriated glare before summoning his Demons of War in front of the statue.
If w.a.n.g Yu died, the G.o.d of Puppets’ aggro would naturally turn to everyone else. All they could do now would be to stall time for Frost Blade. Since n.o.body would be able to defend the G.o.d of Puppets, Spring Halo felt that it was more sensible to defend all together instead of going one after the other.
“What the f*ck!!”
w.a.n.g Yu was hurt so badly that he started cursing. When he finally reacted, his head was less than one metre away from cras.h.i.+ng on the wall.
Realising that he was about to die, w.a.n.g Yu’s body reacted quickly as his body suddenly circled at electric speed. In the very next moment, a “duang” sound could be heard as w.a.n.g Yu landed on the ground firmly. Concurrently, his back leaned against the wall.
“Thunder G.o.d’s Stomp!!” The Quan Zhen Sect shouted when they saw how w.a.n.g Yu landed safely, “Landing safely in such a situation? No wonder you’re Old Bull!”
Because of the increased points of a Pugilist’s jumping attributes, they would constantly be jumping around during combats. However, players couldn’t fly so it was hard to control the distance of the jump and it was vulnerable to stronger opponents. Therefore, using [Thunder G.o.d’s Stomp] to force a landing was an essential skill every top expert knew.
However, when a player was attacked in mid-air, the player would lose balance. Using the gaming terms, losing balance in mid-air would result in an “airborne” effect.
Under the airborne effect, a player wouldn’t be able to execute any skill if he had yet to mark pa.s.sively. Hence, even an extremely skilful Pugilist shouldn’t be able to use [Thunder G.o.d’s Stomp] after getting hit in mid-air.
Marking pa.s.sively refers to regaining balance in mid-air. The difficulty of regaining balance for combat purposes in mid-air was dependent on the opponent’s level of judgement.
w.a.n.g Yu was heavily injured by the G.o.d of Puppets but even under such a circ.u.mstance, he was still able to regain his balance in the shortest possible time. In fact, he was even able to execute the [Thunder G.o.d’s Stomp] in time before he landed. This speed of reaction and technique had to be witnessed personally. Otherwise, even a talented and experienced group of players like the Quan Zhen Sect wouldn’t believe if someone told them there was a person who could do all that.
When w.a.n.g Yu landed, he hadn’t had the time to figure out why he was sent flying and he suddenly felt a whiz of cold air. When he lifted his head, the G.o.d of Puppets was already standing far away from him as it started drawing his arrow and bow. The other hands were not idling because the light halo and light belt were also sent flying towards him.
To make things worse, the hand on the back of the G.o.d of Puppets started waving a staff. A holy light descended and the G.o.d of Puppets’ health returned to full bar…
Everyone lost hope the moment they witnessed this scene. How can a monster be this sickening?
At this moment, w.a.n.g Yu couldn’t be bothered with the G.o.d of Puppets’ despicable acts. He hurriedly dodged the skills as he crawled and rolled towards a signboard beside the wall.
The signboard was for road directions and while it wasn’t extremely big or small, it was enough to cover w.a.n.g Yu.
The system’s monsters’ long-range attacks had always required accurate aiming before shooting. After losing sight of its target, the G.o.d of Puppets immediately kept its long-ranged equipment as it raised a huge s.h.i.+eld. With the huge s.h.i.+eld in position, it bent over and charged at where w.a.n.g Yu was hiding.
“Not good! Hurry up and stop it!”
Seeing the charge of the G.o.d of Puppets, Spring Halo shouted. As he ran forward, he released some thorns at the legs of the G.o.d of Puppets.
The G.o.d of Puppets’ s.h.i.+eld was something capable of smas.h.i.+ng a hole through a solid wall. A small signboard was only effective in blocking obstructing his sight. It was completely useless in protecting w.a.n.g Yu.
Following Spring Halo’s orders, Yang Nuo, Ming Du and co. quickly released their attacks. This was especially so for Ling Longmeng, who fired arrows after arrows at the G.o.d of Puppets as though her arrows were all free.
Even with that many attacks on him, the G.o.d of Puppets’ merely paused for the sake of the animation. There was no real obstruction in preventing his charge.
“Ming Du, execute your ultimate move! Pull his aggro!” Spring Halo waved and summoned his demons to block the G.o.d of Puppets while giving Ming Du the order to attack.
Ming Du used all his energy to activate his Berserk Thunder skill. The skill was released in tremendous amount over the G.o.d of Puppets’ head.
“Boom!”
After a loud explosion, two words popped up above the G.o.d of Puppets’ head: “Ineffective Attack”
“What!!” Ming Du couldn’t believe his eyes as the G.o.d of Puppets trampled on Spring Halo’s demons. It continued its charge towards the signboard.
Behind the signboard, w.a.n.g Yu saw the G.o.d of Puppets’ imminent arrival as he turned to the side to dodge.
Who knew that this G.o.d of Puppets was also an experienced driver. During its charge, it was still able to turn sharply when it witnessed w.a.n.g Yu running to the side.
The G.o.d of Puppets’ steps were huge and about five times greater than w.a.n.g Yu. Even with his Qing Gong, w.a.n.g Yu was unable to shake off the G.o.d of Puppets. It was constantly just behind him.
“Irritating fella!” Seeing that the G.o.d of Puppets was not going to give up chasing him, w.a.n.g Yu scolded again as he suddenly turned. He appeared right behind the G.o.d of Puppets.
Just when w.a.n.g Yu thought that he was safe, the G.o.d of Puppets’ upper body twisted 180 degrees. The s.h.i.+eld from the upper body was descending onto w.a.n.g Yu yet again.
