Chapter 1581 - A Drink Or Two? (1/2)

It was apparent that, as the top-tier BOSS, Luke wasn’t so easily defeated.

Especially Dark Luke; he wasn’t just a tad or two stronger than Light Luke.

After he transformed into his close-combat form, Luke’s speed and power increased more than a single level.

Previously, when they faced against Light Luke, Wang Yu could still handle him using speed. However, Wang Yu’s speed was no longer enough to fight against Dark Luke.

Within the gaming universe, there was an unspoken rule. One should fight a ranged BOSS with close-ranged attacks. That would control the damage output and prevent the BOSS from escaping.

As for close-ranged BOSSES, players should use long-ranged attacks. While they conserved their abilities, they could deal as much damage as they liked.

Even though Wang Yu was a gaming noob, after playing the game for such a long time, he understood the gist of the fundamental rules.

Knowing that it wouldn’t be a good bargain to fight Dark Luke close-ranged, Wang Yu stabilized himself after backing away from Dark Luke. He pulled out a firearm from his holster as he pointed it at Luke’s head and pulled the trigger.

“Boom!”

A loud noise resounded as a bundle of smoke spurted from the firearm. Then, a small red bullet launched toward Luke.

In <<REBIRTH>>, even though guns were also long-ranged weapons, bullets were much faster than arrows.

In the same moment gunfire rang out, the bullet reached Luke’s face.

Even though Luke was fast, he couldn’t react in time. It was far too late for him to dodge.

Of course, Luke didn’t have any intention of dodging. He revealed a smirk, allowing the bullet to lodge into his forehead.

“Dang!”

A loud noise resounded as several stars appeared above Luke’s head. However, the HP bar above his head didn’t budge.

When Wang Yu exchanged blows with Luke, he knew that Luke’s natural state was [Invulnerable].

That was why Wang Yu wasn’t shocked at all. Instead, the bullet that hit Luke’s head reflected itself.

“F*ck!!!”

Wang Yu’s reflexes were much faster than Luke’s. He turned hurriedly as the bullet grazed Wang Yu’s cheek.

At the same time, Wang Yu broke out into cold sweat.

Damn it, this Dark Luke was much harder to deal with than before.

He was programmed with his [Invulnerable] state; now, he even reflected long-ranged attacks. Did he have any shame at all?

Wasn’t he forcing Wang Yu to fight a close-ranged battle against him?

Light Luke’s close-ranged abilities were normal. His attributes were utterly ineffective against Wang Yu. When Wang Yu fought him, it wasn’t a challenge at all. However, Dark Luke’s attributes were a level above Wang Yu’s.

There was a saying that one dominant characteristic was enough to go against a dozen bouts. No matter how skilled Wang Yu was, in the face of these attributes, going against Luke with close combat was a little challenging.

That was right; he lacked just one step.

From the exchange just now, it was apparent that even though Dark Luke was powerful, he could barely suppress Wang Yu. If Wang Yu increased his level by two or three and raised his attributes a little, he was confident of fighting Luke in close combat.

It wasn’t as if Wang Yu couldn’t temporarily increase his attributes. He could use [Inner Breath Roll], [Thunder Wave], [Raging Flames Walk], or [Descending Dragon Palm] to increase his abilities for a short amount of time.

However, Wang Yu couldn’t use a single ability now.

He already knew that Luke’s normal state was [Invulnerable] and required a [275 Combo] before he could break his defences.

Performing a [275 Combo] wasn’t a small number. With Wang Yu’s current attack speed, he needed several minutes before he could hit such a high combo count.

Furthermore, these four skills had extremely long cooldown. In contrast, their active time was short. If Wang Yu used the four skills consecutively, he could only raise his attributes for a minute.
