233 Chapter 233 - The Perfect Match (2/2)

”Ah?” The students exchanged baffled looks. Gu Fei already had his back to them as he stuck his hand inside his dimensional pocket. He intended to face these marching enemies alone.

”Sir!” Ah Fa quickly ran to him, ”There seems to be many enemies!”

”Yup. That's why you guys should retreat to the side!” Gu Fei said.

The one hundred Brigands before did not actually appear before the students all at once. In actuality, every wave was only consisted of ten Brigands, so the members of Ultimate Class 3 were able to slowly accumulate the kill count of one hundred. The sound traveling from the valley right now seemed to be made of over a hundred Brigands charging toward them together. If this final wave truly had these many Brigands, Ultimate Class 3 would have no way of successfully completing the guild quest. Ah Fa was being far too optimistic for hoping that they would not face many enemies all at once.

The closer the sound was, the clearer it became. It seemed that the sound of heavy footfalls was not being falsely echoed by the valley's walls, and what they were hearing was truly the sound of actual footsteps.

When the figures from deep within the valley became distinguishable, Ah Fa's face grew deathly pale. Extending his hand out, he frantically ordered, ”Run! Everyone, quickly RUN!”

Ah Fa was a leader that was used to being ordered by everyone, yet at times like this, he was still the person in charge of the guild and was the most knowledgeable when it came to gaming among them, so none of his classmates questioned his judgment and immediately tried to escape from the valley. The students ran for quite a distance before remembering something. They looked backward and saw that Gu Fei had not moved from his original position.

”Sir!” all the students anxiously called out to Gu Fei.

Gu Fei's full focus was already on the mob of Brigands that were rushing toward them. Encountering such a large pack of monsters to grind on was rare for players. Even if they intentionally lured the monsters together, the density of the monsters before Gu Fei would still far exceed those. In fact, no one would attempt to lure these many monsters all at once. Gu Fei had instinctively felt that he might have to kill such a huge pack of monsters for this stage of the quest, so he was beside himself with joy. He had actually heard Ah Fa's call to flee, but he had never once considered that option.

Gu Fei glanced at the students who were currently calling for him and nodded his head in satisfaction when he saw that all of them were standing twenty meters away from him, ”Yup. That's far enough. Stay there.”

”No way?” The students looked at one another in disbelief. They could tell that Gu Fei did not intend to retreat and seemed to be even looking forward to taking on the huge mob of Brigands.

At this time, Gu Fei pulled out his Moonlit Nightfalls. Ah Fa's eyes shone brightly as he could tell from the sword's aura that Gu Fei was holding on to top-grade equipment. ”Teacher wasn't using that weapon before…” Ah Fa was finally realizing that Gu Fei must not have used the sword earlier to avoid killing off the monsters. Could it be that teacher's Spell Damage is actually high enough to insta-kill these Brigands? Ah Fa's mouth was agape from thinking of this possibility, not knowing that he had made the right conjecture.

The other students did not know what they should be doing right now, so they could only wait for Ah Fa, the most experienced gamer among them, to make a decision.

”Let's wait and see how this goes.” Seeing Gu Fei's confident look, Ah Fa wondered if his teacher truly possessed the ability to insta-kill these Brigands. If he did, then killing these large mobs would not just be a dream!

Holding his Moonlit Nightfalls with a reverse-grip, the students saw Gu Fei take the initiative to meet the Brigands. Ah Fa grew anxious when he saw that Gu Fei had not cast a AOE spell and had merely sprinted toward the mob of Brigands, eventually plunging himself right into their midst.

”Teacher… Did he want to commit suicide?” the students asked, baffled.

It was at this point that battlecries rang through the air!

The Brigands were full of vigor, but more importantly, Parallel World's full-immersion system had not coded them to shout until their throats were sore. Still, merely having these Brigands fight the players was boring, so the game designers had each of them howl every time they went to battle to add flavor to the monotonous atmosphere, pleasantly terming this as 'sound effect'.

Gu Fei swung his sword forward with Twin Incineration, insta-killing four Brigands. His main intention for doing this was to draw the Brigands' aggro, so that they would ignore the students behind him and focus solely on him.

His plan worked; Mages' spells had higher aggro compared to other job classes' attacks, so Gu Fei's one swipe caused the entire mob of Brigands to surround him. Gu Fei had not felt flustered since he had already fought the Brigands in Yunxia Valley many times in the past. He was very familiar with their attack patterns, and the system had yet to change those even now. Therefore, unless he made a mistake or lose his concentration during the fight, the Brigands right now would be unable to injure Gu Fei.

Gu Fei did not wish to fight with this bunch of robots for long, so he extended his sword and pointed toward his feet, ”Blazing Tree of a Thousand Inferno! Arise!”

It would take some time before his spell would fully materialize, and the good thing about the system's dumb monsters was that they would never try to avoid Gu Fei's spell despite hearing the incantation and would still single-mindedly throw themselves at Gu Fei.

The Brigands tightly surrounded him without a gap. Gu Fei's left hand lifted Moonlit Nightfalls, while his right hand pulled out the Chinese broadsword, defending against the Brigands' attacks as he counted down the seconds in his head. It's about time! Gu Fei said to himself. Randomly pointing to somewhere outside the encirclement, he said, ”Translocation! Blink!”

The students all thought that Gu Fei had lost his life when they saw him get surrounded by the throng of Brigands. Ah Fa lost all hopes of Gu Fei being able to extricate himself and was about to call everyone to leave when the air before his eyes distorted and Gu Fei's figure appeared outside the mobs' encirclement. At the same time, Blazing Tree of a Thousand Inferno flared to life at the heart of the throng of Brigands and set them ablaze.

The throng of Brigands that the system had spawned for this quest was still stuck in that tight encirclement Gu Fei had found himself before. They moved and struggled to orientate themselves to where Gu Fei had appeared, their movements perfectly matching the dancing flames of Blazing Tree of a Thousand Inferno.

Flames crackled on amid the deaths of all the Brigands. Gu Fei returned the weapons inside his dimensional pocket and walked toward the students while casually dusting his hands off together, ”Alright! That's it for today. Lesson's over!”
