Chapter 238 - White Elves

Nie Yan’s mind raced as he considered various scenarios in search of a way to a into the trap of its own accord

Standard traps reliant on couard He could only look for a y

The system used precise calculations to allowe the True Illusion to maximize efficiency and act with precision accurate to several deci so, it could maximize the True Illusion’s combat abilities in a way no human could However, the system still had to maintain some semblance of fairness, so the True Illusion didn’t know Nie Yan’s stats Otherwise, if it possessed Nie Yan’s skill and stat data on top of maxie it, much less beat it

After careful consideration, Nie Yan concluded that his best chance would be to change his attack speed and patterns to trick the True Illusion’s relatively rigid algorithht to him by his stats, especially his movement and attack speed His calculation speed was obviously nowhere near the systeh estimate Hmmm… I’ll only use 95 of my attack speed to scout him out</ees had passed Both of the their strength as they gauged their opponent For a Thief in head-on co blows in this tentative manner served an incredibly important purpose It allowed hi a fatal blow The ancient practice of gathering infor the real attack worked for Thieves as well

Additionally, Nie Yan began purposely leaving a peculiar false opening for his opponent Even when it would be easier to use a forehand move to block, he manoeuvred his hand to perform a backhand block

Nie Yan’s act orld-class His lowered attack speed and defensive quirk flowed searained instincts

Almost everyone had some odd quirks in combat A skilled player knew to look for such tells in order to abuse them, and the AI was no different Under Nie Yan’s meticulous trickery, the True Illusion finally decided to act on what it saw as Nie Yan’s biggest weakness: he only blocked with backhands

After yet another strike and parry, the True Illusion entered stealth It didn’t reengage, choosing to stay hidden a of it until twowas off, he took a deep breath and readied hi for its cooldowns to run out now

He couldn’t afford to mess up here at the final stretch! Nie Yan double-checked his skill bar to ain

Right at that er at the back of his head Before Nie Yan could turn around, the True Illusion launched its attack, lunging forward and plunging its dagger at its target

Nie Yan activated Shadow Waltz to dodge the attack, reappearing behind the True Illusion He perfor at the back of the opponent’s head with lightning speed

The True Illusion immediately turned around and blocked Nie Yan’s strike with its own dagger This was the first ti after the first sparks flew up in the air Since neither of them were proficient in control skills, they could only spaain

Finally, Nie Yan ed to land a Vital Strike followed by Eviscerate The True Illusion took over 100 dae, but quickly struck back with a Backstab for over 300 health

The True Illusion’s attack and defense were both higher than Nie Yan’s After trading just a few hits, Nie Yan was already down to 15 health He hastily backed up before chugging an Inter his health

No matter how they clashed, Nie Yanwith backhands He also made sure to keep key skills such as Intimidate and Concussive Blow in reserve

The True Illusion’s health was slowly chipped away at in their clashes, but Nie Yan wasn’t the only one with health potions His copy also drank an Inter its health bar

can use health potions too! </e the True Illusion shrug off all the dae he’d done to it He suspected that it had so it down in a battle of attrition, but he hadn’t expected it to be as direct as a health potion As he’d thought, the only way to beat it was to control the flow of battle and make it fall for a trick

Nie Yan continued to wait for an opportunity to strike Neither of them had used Intimidate or Concussive Blow yet, nor any otherlow-cooldown skills just to wear the opponent’s health down

Of course, in such a battle of attrition, Nie Yan’s health wore down much faster than the True Illusion’s

After a while, Nie Yan began applying Coes to himself to keep his health up As the True Illusion watched Nie Yan use yet another method to heal himself, it finally ran out of patience It actived Shadow Waltz, closing the gap in an instant, and used Intimidate

Nie Yan’s body stiffened He wasstruck by Intirip

Noticing the forehand position of Nie Yan’s dagger, the True Illusion’s AI decided that this was a prier toward Nie Yan’s forehead

The dagger quickly closed the distance, striking as fast as a gale with the

If Nie Yan tried to do as he had done before and switch to a backhand before parrying, he would definitely be too late

Instead, he squinted deviously and swung out for a forehand, blocking the True Illusion’s attack

The True Illusion’s eyes narrowed A puzzled expression appeared on its face as it went over its data again However, despite inal calculation had went awry

Right then, the effects of Intirinned sinisterly as he activated Inti the True Illusion’s body to stiffen

Nie Yan used Shadow Waltz to circle behind the True Illusion Before it could turn around, Nie Yan pierced its heart with Backstab He instantly followed up with an Eviscerate that left the illusion spurting geysers of blood
