448 Chapter 448 - The Strongest Spear and Shield (2/2)
That was the feeling the two men shared. The BOSS had not stopped its killing spree, but the two of them soon discovered that they seemed to be circling around a small area. It was evident that due to the departure of the other players around, the BOSS's aggro was now concentrated into this area where there were still players hanging around. Since Gu Fei and Eternal Dominion were also in this area, it would be a matter of time before they encountered BOSS.
------------------------------
”M*th*rf*ck*r…” At some corner, Young Master Han was finally ambushed from behind by the BOSS within the fog. He had tried his best to save himself, but it was unfortunate that the damage he had sustained from the blow was simply too severe. Young Master Han very quickly saw his life diminish to zero. He landed on the ground heavily after being sent flying, groping through his dimensional pocket before swearing.
I can finally go buy some more liquor, Young Master Han thought to himself, as he waited to respawn back at the spawn point. Who would have thought that, by the time he landed and the number depicted on his HP showed 0, the familiar white light was nowhere in sight?
”What's going on?”
G*d d*mn it. Has yours truly really turned into a corpse? Young Master Han had not thought that such a situation was possible. When he thought of it, he had never really died in this MMO before, so could this be perhaps what happened when one died? He sneaked a peek over at by his side and saw another player staring at back him.
”Brother Assist!?” Young Master Han opened his mouth and discovered that his voice could still come out.
”You got killed as well?” Brother Assist asked.
”What's going on?” Young Master Han asked, ”do we need to act as a corpse for a while after dying? That doesn't seem to be how it works!”
”I don't know, but look over there?” Brother Assist moved his eyelid as best as he could.
Young Master Han could not move his head, so all he could do was roll his eyes as much as he could in the indicated direction. It seemed that there was another player lying on the ground, immobile.
”Just what in the world is going on?” That was the question on everyone's mind.
------------------------------
”ARGH! F*CKKKK!” A spiteful howl sounded through the fog, which was somewhat close to where Gu Fei and Eternal Dominion were at.
”Over there!” Both of them shouted as they bounded over. Seeing a figure pouncing right toward them, both men swiftly evaded to the side and prepared to attack but realized in time that this person was not a BOSS. Aside from being larger, its equipment was wrong too, and more importantly, this person was very familiar.
Thud! This person, whom Gu Fei recognized, collapsed to the ground in a cloud of dust. He waved his hand before his nose and mouth to clear the dust and called out, ”Wounds?!”
”I'm here,” the person in the dust cloud replied.
”Where's the BOSS?”
”Over there,” War Without Wounds replied.
”What happened to you?”
”I died.”
”How can you still be talking if you're dead?”
”Yeah, I find that strange as well,” War Without Wounds expressed.
Gu Fei paid no further heed to him, as the latter took a back seat in his heart.
”Go recover your HP a bit,” Gu Fei said this as he and Eternal Dominion rushed out. The last they heard from the man was him complaining in a slowly fading voice, ”Recover, my *ss. My HP is already 0, but this d*mn game isn't allowing me to respawn. Did my game freeze?”
”Freeze?” Gamers borne from the era of online MMOs of this age-old term. This was a term that should not apply to a fully immersive MMO like Parallel World, but they could not think any other explanation aside from this.
Meanwhile, Gu Fei and Eternal Dominion had finally encountered the BOSS.
”Looks like there're no longer any other players around.” Gu Fei sighed in relief.
”Yup, let's take care of it now!” Eternal Dominion nodded his head.
The feet of the Shadowmist Assassin stepped quickly, not slowing down in the least as it rushed forward. Having slain so many players, it simply had no concept of what mercy was. This one charge looked to be as fast and potent like a gust of wind, and its target was Gu Fei.
Chiwave Shield!
Eternal Dominion flipped his two hands, pushing out his hands, which were conjoined at the base, vertically. There was no need for such complex hand gestures to unleash Chiwave Shield, but the hand posture that Eternal Dominion had gone with was one the techniques in the Dragon Fist style that he was very adept with, 'Dragon Swallowing the Clouds'. It was a defensive maneuver that would mitigate the opponent's attack extensively. It was unknown if this would have any effect when used against a BOSS, but he figured they could find out now by putting it to the test. Naturally, the real defensive skill, Chiwave Shield, emerged right before his palms as well.
On Gu Fei's end, he condensed a Palm of Thunder in his left hand and lashed out a Twin Incineration on his right. This was also the ultimate technique within the Gu Family's Sword style, 'Floating Clouds during Sunset'. The sword strike was just the first sequence of the technique; the palm strike that followed would actually be the killing move.
With Eternal Dominion's kung fu guard working in tandem with his Chiwave Shield, it would surely afford a defense far stronger than any Guardian's Shield.
Gu Fei possessed a powerful spell power, and he was without a doubt the strongest damage dealer currently in the game.
It could be said that this combination of the strongest shield and the sharpest spear in-game was born with these two men currently working together.
