”How did you do that?” Esther could not hide her expression and asked while staring at Wang Yu.
Being a level 80 BOSS, Esther never imagined that she would be so impressed by someone who was not even at level 50.
[Shadow Sword] was one of Esther's ultimate moves and she was not even confident that she herself could defend from it so well like how Wang Yu did.
Wang Yu smiled and replied, ”It's not too hard to do this. You are just too dependent on your skills.”
Though > was a simulation system, a lot of settings about it were still constrained like other normal online games.
This game was no different from other normal games, especially for the skills. All the games including > would have a lead-up and a stun time and every single player, including a BOSS, could not escape from this setting.
As someone who had an even higher level of understanding than the designer of this game, Wang Yu could combine his skills and normal attacks to achieve true perfect form of ”attacking according to one's desires at any time” in independent mode.
Players who had higher levels could also lower their lead time and stun time in independent mode for a skill. A good example would be small skills like the [Tornado Slash].
Instead, NPCs did not have innovative players with IQs and are just numbers. Even if it were an NPC like Esther, she would not grow without the presence of external interference like Wang Yu and would just continue throwing out skills like normal bosses.
City Lord Wylie only battled Wang Yu for a few rounds before his battling skills improved rapidly. From this, it could be seen that Esther's comprehension level was lower than City Lord Wylie's. Of course, Wylie's quick growth could be also due to the fact was from the same job as Wang Yu.
Esther's battling style was more towards the swift and agile type, but her double-handed swords were considered heavy weapons. Heavy weapons were focused more on giving more damage in a single blow, so there would be a huge lead-up movement. Wang Yu was used to observing, so whenever Esther's shoulders move, he knew which direction she was going for. And for the same reason, Esther's attacks were not as effective on or could not even hit Wang Yu.
”No wonder! I know what to do now!”
As an intelligent BOSS, Esther got it immediately. After hearing what Wang Yu said, she realised her weakness.
”Let's have a second round!”
Esther clenched her sword handles and slashed it towards Wang Yu.
This time, Esther did not add on special skills onto her attack. Without the lead time from skills, her movements became faster and her rhythm of attacks became clearer. It was so much smoother compared to when she just threw out skills without thinking.
Even Esther felt that she stepped into a whole new world, a world that was not restricted by any skills.
If Wang Yu were to describe this, he would call it ”being formless is the best form”.
Esther's attributes were very much higher than Wang Yu. After Wang Yu's tips, her fighting strength increased rapidly. Each slash was approached by Wang Yu at the speed of light.
Faced with Esther's heavy attack, Wang Yu did not dare to receive it straight away and could only retreat backwards.
When Wang Yu almost fell off the roof from Esther's attacks, he roared and a striking ray of thunder ray appeared from his body. The rays had bits of green in them.
After this, Wang Yu had an extra BUFF on his body.
[Wind Thunder Fury]: Player Iron Bull received blessings from the Power of Wind and Thunder. For 20 seconds, player strength and agility increase by 500%, players attacks come with paralysis.
[Wind Thunder Fury] was a skill that Wang Yu got from getting the rewards crest for completing the Qing Gong Mission.
This was the first time Wang Yu used it, so he did not know that the effects would be so great. His agility and strength increased by 5 times, and even though the effect only lasted for 20 seconds, it was enough for Wang Yu to get out of his current situation.
