266 Chapter 266 - The Flying Gu Fei (1/2)

Black Index Finger had once stopped in his tracks when he had learned of his men's fate on the mountain peak. Upon reaching the top, he once more found himself standing rooted to the spot.

The mountain top had limited space, yet Gu Fei and the four members of The Black Hand appeared as if they were currently playing a game of chase. The atmosphere was somewhat lively and harmonious, making Black Index Finger wonder if he had just been transported to an alternate dimension.

Amid Monologue under the Moon and his men's cries of: ”Over there!”, ”Block him!”, and so on, Gu Fei spotted Black Index Finger bounding toward him with undisguised glee and he promptly yelled, ”Let's have a duel!” Gu Fei had had enough of this comedic situation by now.

Black Index Finger had yet to make sense of things on this mountain peak when Gu Fei greeted him with a sword slash. The flames that lit Gu Fei's blade gave Black Index Finger quite the fright, thinking that he was a goner against Gu Fei's Twin Incineration. But when he saw his HP barely dip, he quickly calmed down. Indeed, most players struggled to discern the minute visual difference between Sacred Flames of Baptism's additional fire attack and Twin Incineration's effect at first glance.

Monologue under the Moon also spotted Black Index Finger at this point, yet Gu Fei was the one who stood beside their group leader and solemnly told them, ”Alright. Enough games. Let's properly fight now!”

Black Index Finger took Gu Fei's words as a cue to send a sword slash at the latter while he told his other men climbing up the mountain, ”Quickly take care of him!”

They were an Archer and a Thief respectively; one quickly distanced himself from Gu Fei, while another went to his side to conduct a pincer attack with Black Index Finger.

With three Priests and a Holy Knight present, Gu Fei's every action was still useless, yet he still could not help but sigh in relief. At least, the opponents were no longer resorting to using such a despicable method that had them attempting to throw him down the mountain by ganging up on him. Knowing that Royal God Call and Sword Demon would arrive soon, he spiritedly engaged the enemies in a fight.

Black Index Finger thought it would be easy to deal with a mana-depleted Mage. He was even unwilling to use Cyclone on him, yet he soon discovered that Gu Fei's fighting prowess was far more extraordinary than what was rumored. He could not seem to land even one slash on Gu Fei no matter how hard he tried, whereas the latter's Chinese broadsword easily found its way to his body numerous times.

The Thief attacking from the other direction felt even more humiliated. While Gu Fei was incessantly moving around Black Index Finger as he dished out attacks, the Thief was fruitlessly chasing after his butt. The Thief could only wait for Gu Fei to slow down so that he could land his attack on the latter, but Gu Fei just moved faster and faster, instead. When the Thief tried attacking from the opposite direction, Gu Fei merely matched his movement, and the chase would repeat itself. The Thief had been on the mountain peak for quite some time, yet he had not even landed a blow on his target. All he had accomplished was circle around Black Index Finger until even the latter grew nauseated following him.

There was also the Archer who could not even fire off an arrow with Homing Projectile because he could never seem to be able to set his reticle on the constantly moving Gu Fei. When he finally shot an arrow, it dug into Black Index Finger instead, scaring him from firing a second arrow.

Monologue under the Moon got everyone to focus their Heal on Black Index Finger, which resulted into Black Index Finger angrily bellowing, ”Just one healer will do! Everyone else should come and surround this twerp!” He still had his dignity as a leader to consider. He did not wish to be treated as a punching bag like Monologue under the Moon was being treated moments ago.

Monologue under the Moon wanted to say that the few of them would be unable to surround Gu Fei properly, but he kept quiet in the end. Simply saying that Gu Fei was formidable would only sound absurd. Everyone in The Black Hand had laughed at him when he had told them of Gu Fei's extraordinary fighting capability after failing his mission the other day. Honestly speaking, Monologue under the Moon even felt somewhat sated, as if he had gotten his revenge on his fellow teammates, when Gu Fei decimated his twenty-man team just then.

At their group leader's command, the three Priests and one Knight came over to surround Gu Fei. As Monologue under the Moon had expected, Gu Fei's fast movement speed made it so that even the Priests could not get near him as he nimbly moved about; Black Index Finger ended up chasing after Gu Fei just like the Thief.

The mountain peak was once more filled with cries of ”Over here!”, ”Block him!”, and so on. These lines seemed to echo the ones he had heard earlier when he had just arrived on the mountaintop, making Black Index Finger think, Seems like I've really entered an alternate dimension….

This stalemate on the mountain peak was broken by an arrow's shrill scream. With Royal God Call and Sword Demon's arrival, Gu Fei wiped the sweat off his forehead, ”You guys are finally here!”

Royal God Call marveled teasingly, ”So there are situations where you have trouble holding on as well?”

”It's not 'hold on' but 'kill on',” Gu Fei rectified, supplying, ”There are many Priests. If only there weren't any….”

Monologue under the Moon's ego received bruising when he heard that. He had previously been bemoaning his team's lack of damage dealers when they were down to three Priests and two Knights and had been fantasizing about what it would be like if they had more combat job classes. Hearing Gu Fei's words now… Such a team composition would apparently only lead to their deaths!

Meanwhile, Black Index Finger's expression turned deathly pale. After experiencing how troublesome it was to deal with Gu Fei, he no longer doubted the latter's capability to stall for time until the match's end. Since Gu Fei's allies were now in this location, the other three were probably nearby. Did the few of them have a chance to survive until their reinforcements arrived?

More importantly, Black Index Finger had no way out now. Seven men were with him on this mountaintop; besides the Thief and Archer he had brought, the rest had slow movement speed.
