319 Teaching You How to Fight A Boss (1/2)
At this moment, all experts of the Quan Zhen Sect noticed Irritated Master as well.
The firing motion of Irritated Master was not with machine-like precision like the other players but his rhythm was very impressive. Loading the arrow, drawing the bow, releasing the arrow - these three actions were executed in one smooth motion continuously, and every arrow could deal a significant amount of damage to the lucky boss.
”This is Independent Mode!”
Wang Yu and Yang Nuo exclaimed.
”Independent Mode? You can't be serious?”
Upon hearing what the two of them said, everyone else was stunned.
Out of all the jobs in >, Pugilists' Independent Mode was probably the toughest to figure out, but at least there was somewhere to start from. On the other hand, there was a job whose Independent Mode no one dared to try out - Archer.
An Archer was simply too specialised, and as a job that dealt damage from a distance, it required very fine motor skills and a high accuracy rate.
Pugilists were at least a close range job, so there was only a minuscule chance for a fist to miss when punched out at such a short distance. However, for Archers, it was extremely challenging to hit their opponents without the game system's accuracy assistance.
Hitting a target from 10m or more away wasn't as simple as it seemed. Even a martial artist like Yang Nuo stood within 3m of her target to maintain her accuracy.
Yet Irritated Master stood much further away and his every arrow did not miss. If this guy was really using Independent Mode, his accuracy would be off the charts.
”Look at his hand techniques when shooting arrows!” Wang Yu pointed at Irritated Master.
Everyone turned their heads in the direction that Wang Yu was pointing in only to see that Irritated Master pinching the bowstring with his right hand that was used to draw the bow before shooting.
”What's the meaning of doing that?” Everyone asked as they had no clue what was going on.
Wang Yu explained: ”Doing this can give some spin to the arrow which will increase its damage. The game's system will definitely not do this.”
”D*mn, this works?” After hearing Wang Yu's explanation, everyone was momentarily stunned and couldn't help but exclaim. ”This is a famous expert indeed. At first, I thought he was only good at mouse and keyboard based games. Who knew that he would be so overpowered in a virtual reality game as well.”
”Well Sister Clear Snow, are you confident in defeating him?” Fearless asked Yang Nuo.
In the whole Quan Zhen Sect, Yang Nuo was the only Archer, and such a specific question was definitely not meant for others.
Yang Nuo honestly replied: ”I'm not sure. My style of fighting is different from his…”
The style that Yang Nuo employed was heavily reliant on her movement techniques while Irritated Master's strength was his accuracy. Although they couldn't really say who was the more skilled one, to Archers, Yang Nuo was obviously using an unconventional style.
”This guy…”
When the group heard Yang Nuo's explanation, Quan Zhen Sect's experts gasped again. In their eyes, Yang Nuo was a martial artist on the same level as Wang Yu. These martial artists were already so strong and could evaluate things like this very well, but one of them wasn't confident in dealing with this expert? How strong was he really?
No matter how strong the lucky boss was, it was just a bunch of numbers. Even an Independent Mode boss would very quickly have a set of countermeasures developed against it once players get an idea of its weaknesses.
Other than the mistakes made in the first clash, with an expert using the Independent Mode like Irritated Master on their side, and other crowd control and tanking players pinning the lucky boss to the spot, the fight the boss was progressing smoothly.
The accuracy of Irritated Master might not have been as crazy as Wang Yu described, but the damage it dealt was still rather high. Moreover, an Archer's attack speed was also much higher than other jobs, hence under the group's continuous attacks, the lucky boss's health soon reached the 30% mark.
”You ignorant mortals, how dare you challenge the grand swordmaster's honor! Receive my rage!”
The lucky boss roared out in anger and his body turned invincible in a flash of light. Following which, a beam of gold light descended from the heavens, covering the lucky boss completely.
All of the players present knew how impressive the lucky boss was and no one dared to randomly fire off attacks now that their target was no longer in sight. Three seconds later, the gold light disappeared, bringing the lucky boss back before everyone.
”Eh? Nothing changed…” Seeing that the lucky boss retained its dishevelled appearance, everyone quickly inspected it.
A boss that could transform would normally change forms, but the lucky boss remained the same. Could its skill have failed?
HP: 595896
MP: 31254
Skills: None
Descent of the Sword Saint: Attack damage increased, possesses [Penetration] and [Dodge]
All of his skills were gone, and they were replaced with a simple status.
After seeing the attributes of the transformed boss, everyone was puzzled. Other bosses normally became stronger but this guy became weaker?
”Continue to block it! Everyone don't stop attacking!” Irritated Master dealt the most damage and stood out the most with his technique, so now he naturally transitioned to become their commander. Without any hesitation, he gave the order to attack after seeing the transformed lucky boss's attributes.
