Chapter 603 - The Unexpected Gap
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were only two possibilities why a person would charge forward without replenishing his health after getting hit by a BOSS to a state like Wang 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 God 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 Wang Yu could defeat the BOSS alone, Wang Yu only had a few exchanges with the God of Puppets. It was already negligible for Wang Yu to survive a few minutes against the BOSS, let alone not getting hit.
Therefore, in 9527’s eyes, Wang Yu was intentionally sending himself to death.
At this point, Wang Yu had already wielded his sword and started his battle against the God of Puppets.
God of Puppets didn’t alter his fighting style as he swung his spear at Wang Yu with his right hand. Just like before, Wang Yu avoided the spear. Following that, he made his way to the right side of God of Puppets’ back waist.
“Ziiii~”
Once again, God of Puppets’ waist twisted drastically as his long sword slashed towards Wang Yu.
Wang Yu smiled faintly as he took a short step back. God of Puppets’ sword brushed past Wang Yu’s face as Wang Yu jumped forward into the white halo. The sword in his hand trembled and three sword flowers emerged. They pierced right through the God of Puppets’ waist.
-2451
-3214
-5512
-100
Four red numbers appeared, and Wang Yu’s last strike even resulted in the Sudden Strike effect.
“F*ck!!!” “This, this is impossible…”
At the sight of this, 9527’s eyeballs 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 Wang Yu could dodge the BOSS’s attack was his positioning.
Wang Yu is a martial arts expert who places extreme importance on attacking the gap. Because of Wang 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 God of Puppets.
Wang Yu’s current position was the God of Puppets’ gap.
It was true that the God 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 Wang Yu was standing within 150 of the God of Puppets, the God of Puppets would use his sword to attack.
The range of the God of Puppets’ Holy Sparkle was 100. While Wang Yu would still be able to land an attack from within the ring with his fist or dagger, there was a limit to Wang Yu’s movement speed. God of Puppets’ twisting of his body and slashing with his sword were at extreme speed. If he were to attack from within the halo, even Wang Yu wasn’t capable enough to dodge the attacks in time.
If he were standing close to the white halo, Wang Yu could still dodge the God of Puppets’ attack easily.
Because his long pole was too long, it would affect the effectiveness of his attacks. Hence, Wang Yu chose to use his long sword instead.
Wang Yu’s sword range was around 120. If he took a step backwards, he could avoid the range of the God of Puppets’ sword. If he took a step forward, he could enter the halo. This was the most ideal position to deal with the God of Puppets.
Even 9527 never imagined that there was such a gap in the BOSS which he designed only one solution to deal with.
Wang Yu’s fighting methods were extremely graceful without any hesitation or doubts. After one clean strike, he slipped away immediately.
When God of Puppets was swinging his long spear around again, Wang Yu slipped to the other side.
God of Puppets twisted his waist to face Wang Yu and just like before, Wang Yu took a step back before moving forward. Three more sword flowers pierced through God 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 Wang Yu. When he saw what Wang Yu was doing, 9527 was starting to have doubts in his life.
After the God 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 Wang Yu.
Wang Yu managed to dodge the light attack just like before. Suddenly, God of Puppets’ body twisted yet again as his other hand sent out two sword energies flying towards Wang Yu from an unbelievable angle.
One of Wang Yu’s hand held onto his sword while the other one grabbed onto the God of Puppets’ wings to block the attack. After a powerful impact, half of the wing was torn apart. A massive -24512 appeared on top of the God of Puppets’ head.
“What?! This fella is not giving any chance at all!”
Looking at the damage done, Wang Yu was taken aback. Even with the extremely high defence of the God 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 Wang Yu’s mind, he would probably vomit blood. Initially, he thought Wang Yu was confident enough to kill the BOSS without getting hurt. Who knew that Wang Yu was actually only trying to save some money.
After losing half a wing to his own attack, the God of Puppets was clearly not very pleasant. With a twist of his right arm, he started attacking Wang Yu again. His hand was certainly quick to react…
Wang Yu pressed onto the God of Puppets’ shoulder as he pushed himself upwards. Riding on the shoulder of the God of Puppets, his long sword twined onto the God of Puppets’ neck and ferociously slash across it.
-11245
Just like that, the God 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 God of Puppets’ skill was slightly more despicable and unreasonable. To an expert like Wang 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 passed… There are no abnormalities on the data too.” Little Zhang looked sheepishly at 9527.
“…” 9527 frowned as he said, “Pass 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.
