166 Chapter 166 - Internal Conflic (2/2)

The ladies were of course at a loss at what was happening. Ice Glaze meekly asked, ”What is going on?”

”It's an internal conflict!” Gu Fei huffed.

Royal God Call and War Without Wounds stood their ground firmly, as if what they were doing was logically sound. The three ladies looked at one another, unsure of what to make of the situation that they had found themselves in.

”Since that's the case,” Gu Fei rolled up his sleeves, saying, ”I guess I'll have to take you two down first.”

Royal God Call cried out, ”Do you think it will be that easy?” With that, he fired off an arrow on Homing Projectile toward Gu Fei.

Gu Fei flipped his sword over and knocked the arrow aside as he chanted, ”Fireball! Shoot!”

Royal God Call fired off Double Shot instead of dodging; one hit Fireball and the other one flew toward Gu Fei.

Gu Fei rushed toward Royal God Call once he finished casting Fireball, dodging the incoming arrow with a deft twist of his head. Royal God Call smiled when Gu Fei broke eye contact with him and took that chance to turn tail and run.

F*ck! Gu Fei cursed inwardly. The movement speed Royal God Call currently possessed was comparable to his, so chasing after him would be no different from when he was fighting with Sakurazaka Moony: It would just be a stalemate.

War Without Wounds was trying to twist the situation into one where the ladies would feel indebted to him, so he hurriedly addressed the ladies over by the side, ”Run away quickly! Leave him to us two!” Gu Fei had been turned into the villain by the actions of these two idiots.

”Ha ha! Come and get me!” Naturally, Royal God Call knew that Gu Fei would be unable to do anything to him right now, so he delightfully taunted him. He ran toward the ditch and dashingly leaped over. However, Royal God Call disappeared from the surface with a whoosh when he did so.

”What happened?” War Without Wounds asked in shock. Gu Fei, meanwhile, was laughing inside him. Evidently, Brother Assist, who was still hiding inside that ditch, had taken that moment to pull Royal God Call down when the latter was gleefully leaping over the ditch. Brother Assist might not have these experts' fighting prowess, yet a person in hiding would always have the upper hand when it came to pulling a fast one on others.

Recalling that time when they drank the most expensive liquor on Young Master Han's tab, Gu Fei had only drunk three glasses while Brother Assist had had a whole bottle after the first glass. He profited the most during that incident, yet Gu Fei took the blame for the whole matter. The deviousness of Brother Assist's duping tactics could be seen from that move alone.

No matter how powerful an Archer was, he or she would oftentimes be at a disadvantage when it came to melee. At this moment, Royal God Call was being held down in the ditch by Brother Assist and was no longer a cause for worry.

Gu Fei raised his sword and turned about to close in on War Without Wounds.

War Without Wounds was a Warrior, so he clearly did not have the skill to kite Gu Fei. Thus, he firmly planted his feet to the ground and did not forget to tell the ladies in order to earn more brownie points, ”Stand behind me.”

The ladies had long been muddled by the messy predicament they had found themselves in. Hearing War Without Wounds' words, they meekly hid behind him.

Gu Fei sprinted toward War Without Wounds, as the latter separated his two hands each holding a claymore to his sides.

He has taken the Job Class Advancement to be a Berserker! Gu Fei's heart tightened. He had since learned from his fight with Foe-herder that the Warrior's dual-wielded Cyclone was not easy to deal with. Foe-herder was ranked sixth on the Warrior leaderboard, while War Without Wounds was currently ranked third. Besides this, he was also known as the number one Warrior in the entire online gaming community, so his Strength should be much higher than other Warriors.

As all these thoughts were running through Gu Fei's head, War Without Wounds had already bent low and dropped his swords, taking up a very familiar stance.

Here it comes! Gu Fei cried out in his mind. He did not dare to increase the speed of his forward sprint and chose to halt his steps instead. He then raised his sword in preparation for unleashing an AOE spell to interrupt War Without Wounds' attack.

Unexpectedly, War Without Wounds lifted the swords from his sides and clasped both in front of him as he lowered his head.

F*ck! Gu Fei was shocked to see War Without Wounds stomping toward him using Charge. He quickly sidestepped to dodge the attack and was about to chant a spell when War Without Wounds suddenly jerked his head up, separated his claymores to his sides, and stopped his forward momentum by twisting his waist to meet Gu Fei head on.

”F*ck!” Gu Fei cried out audibly this time.

Gu Fei did not know how far War Without Wounds' Charge could reach, but he was positive that the latter had canceled it before reaching the intended distance. His timing for the skill cancelation was nearly impeccable, placing him right before Gu Fei. What was worse was that War Without Wounds had immediately followed this up by unleashing Cyclone on the spot.

A dual-wielded Cyclone had double the effect compared to the usual Cyclone. Using only one hand to take the blow would result in a player taking a gash from the other weapon before being flung outward by the skill's spinning. Gu Fei had already experienced this before and he could only think of one way to fully block this attack: dual-wield weapons, as well.

Characters without the Dual-wielding Mastery would be unable to deal damage with the weapons in their non-dominant hands, but the Verdict for blocking still existed. When Gu Fei used the sword in his right hand to block the first blow, his left hand also reached into his dimensional pocket for his Sacred Flames of Baptism.

The clashing of metals rang out twice. This was followed by Gu Fei being hurtled outward by the Cyclone's spinning. His HP was dropping rapidly while mid-air. Although his weapons had managed to block the attacks, his blocking attempts had been judged by Verdict as very weak. Thus, Gu Fei still received a lot of damage from the Cyclone skill.

”This sucks!” Gu Fei sighed in frustration. He might have been able to take all the damage had he been at full HP. Unfortunately, he had earlier taken damage from Ice Glaze's Descending Wheel of Flames....

…Can Gu Fei survive his impending fall to the ground with how he is currently sailing through the air? Find out next time in the succeeding chapter of Virtual World: Close Combat Mage!
