266 Chapter 266 - The Flying Gu Fei (2/2)
”Charge!” Royal God Call roared as he shot an arrow at the enemy Archer. Sword Demon activated Fleetfoot and dashed toward the enemy Thief.
The Archer was the man Black Index Finger and company had saved from tumbling down the base of the mountain. He did not have full HP to begin with, so he failed to survive the Snipe Royal God Call had fired off at him despite the many Priests present.
With an angry bellow, Black Index Finger hurtled himself toward Royal God Call using Charge.
The veteran combatant Royal God Call quickly shuffled to the side at the sight of Black Index Finger charging at him. Black Index Finger charged right up to him and extended his sword to activate Cyclone – a two-skill motion that any Warrior worth his or her salt would be able to execute.
Royal God Call was distressed by this assault and scampered away to evade Black Index Finger's Cyclone.
Accordingly, Black Index Finger canceled the skill to conserve his Rage points. Gu Fei thought that an opportunity was present, so he quickly closed in on Black Index Finger. Gu Fei slashed at him and extended his hand to push Black Index Finger over the edge. He was hoping to send the latter rolling down the mountain by catching him off guard.
This was a wrong move, though. A huge gap existed between a Mage's and a Warrior's Strength to the point that the latter easily suppressed the former. The adage 'A strong man can easily overpower ten martial artists' really held some truth. The technique that Gu Fei had used on the Knight before was useless before a Warrior's Strength. Gu Fei's push did not even move Black Index Finger an inch. In fact, his attempt resulted into the latter reflexively grabbing and tossing him away.
”Wonderful!” Monologue under the Moon was moved when he saw this. That's why he's the boss. He only had to shoot his hand out once and he easily dealt with the troublesome Mage.
Black Index Finger was actually taken aback by this. What he had just done was a conditioned reflex that even Gu Fei had trouble reacting in time. Agility's impact to movement speed was obvious in this game, yet things like attack speed were not as exaggerated. If a Warrior's attack speed was eight times slower than a Thief's Agility, then no Warrior would be able to fight anyone in Parallel World no matter how strong he or she was!
Sigh… That's too careless of me! Gu Fei reflected on this while mid-air. Once more, he lamented his Strength or lack thereof as he adjusted his posture to regain his balance.
When Black Index Finger returned to his senses, he immediately realized that he had done something huge. He excitedly looked backward to watch Gu Fei's tumble down the mountain, but all he saw was the latter landing safely on the slope.
”Sword Demon and Royal, hold on for a bit!” Gu Fei shouted toward the mountain peak's direction. Fishing out an apple to munch on, he decided to replenish his mana instead of promptly heading back to the combat zone.
Monologue under the Moon's expression changed when he heard Gu Fei's shout. How was he fine after being tossed off the mountain peak like that? He ran toward the mountain edge, looked down, and saw Gu Fei calmly eating an apple. Turning his head over, he and Black Index Finger exchanged looks. ”We can't let him recover his mana!” Monologue under the Moon was about to cry.
Black Index Finger was well aware of this fact as well. However, he could only regret using so much strength in that toss that he managed to send Gu Fei sailing so far away. Even if they ran toward Gu Fei now, they would be unable to stop him....
In a last-ditch effort, Monologue under the Moon flung out Holy Ball, which merely drifted toward Gu Fei. Gu Fei did not dodge the attack and instead saved those precious seconds to recover a bit more mana. When Holy Ball landed on him, his mana recovery was interrupted. Nonetheless, Gu Fei already managed to replenish a quarter of his total mana. With a chuckle, he shouted, ”I'm coming back!” He then pulled out Moonlit Nightfalls and rushed toward the mountain peak.
”We're doomed…” Monologue under the Moon was a meticulous person and he had been observing Gu Fei's fighting style, hoping to find any weakness. He did not find any, but he became aware of Gu Fei's fighting habit. Gu Fei would wield his Chinese broadsword whenever he ran out of mana, and he would change it to that non-appraisable sword whenever he had mana.
Actually, Sword Demon and Royal God Call had almost finished decimating the players on the mountain peak by themselves. The enemy Thief died under the two's joint assault without giving the enemy Priests ample time to Heal him. They then bullied the two Priests and one Knight in a relaxed manner. All the while, Black Index Finger and Monologue under the Moon were lamenting about Gu Fei's recovery of his mana over by the mountain edge!
What else was there to say about the ensuing scene? Black Index Finger, Monologue under the Moon, the two Priests, and a Knight had slow movement speed, so it was essentially impossible for them to escape from Gu Fei, Sword Demon or Royal God Call at this point. They could also not rely on the three-man healing method that they had used before since Gu Fei and company could easily insta-kill any job classes by cooperating with one another.
Black Index Finger might be tough, but he could still not survive the combined damage output of Sword Demon's Backstab, Royal God Call's Snipe, and Gu Fei's Twin Incineration!
The rest of The Black Hand on the mountaintop was handily eliminated in this way. The three men of Young Master's Elite headed to the mountain edge and surveyed the land below. Young Master Han and the two others were almost about to reach them, while The Black Hand's four teams that were supposed to support the now eliminated Black Index Finger were making their way over to this highly contested vantage point as well.
