Chapter 602: Holy Sparkle

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Yu sized the God of Puppets up from top to bottom. When Wang Yu’s eyes fell on the God of Puppets’ foot, he noticed a clue.

Under the foot of the God of Puppets was a white halo. The halo was centered around the God of Puppets and had a radius of about one metre. This was probably the distance of two players standing next to each other. Earlier on, Wang Yu’s long pole strikes landed outside the halo, but his kicks were within the halo.

At the thought of this, Wang Yu’s eyes lit up. Could it be that his attacks would only be effective inside the halo?

While Wang Yu was staring blankly, God of Puppets started waving his spear around before charging towards Wang Yu again. Wang Yu dodged to the right as he avoided the spear. When he was at the side of the God of Puppets, he raised his pole and struck it on the God of Puppets’ neck.

Wang Yu’s long pole was about two metres long. The first attack was from outside the halo and indeed, he only caused a damage of -1.

When the time comes, the God of Puppets’ simple and thick spear swept across him again. Wang Yu leaned over to roll to the back of the God of Puppets. With a flip of his hand, his long pole became a dagger as he pierced it through the God of Puppets’ back waist.

“Oh. This fella’s combat awareness is really terrifying...” 9527 exclaimed when he saw where Wang Yu attacked.

Wang Yu’s strike wasn’t casual at all.

As a power type BOSS, the God of Puppets had a large build. After attempting to hit Wang Yu with his spear, he was only stiff for 0.5 seconds. During this time, Wang Yu rolled to the right which was the blindspot for the God of Puppets’ left hand with the sword. This dagger strike was not only able to cause damage to the BOSS, but it was also able to put himself in the safest spot. This was truly an extremely crafty move.

As a holographic online game, <<REBIRTH>> was all about being realistic. Most of the people playing this game would be a male or female geek and not true experts in fighting. Presently, most players would be considered top experts if they knew how to dodge a hinder or outflank to attack. Wang Yu was probably the only person in the game who could find the perfect angle to attack his opponent during a fight. Moreover, this type of combat awareness was not something that could be nurtured in a day or two.

As a designer of the game, 9527 didn’t know if he should be happy or sad to see a player like this.

“Tsk! If you can find the breakthrough point for our BOSS so easily, it will not be considered a large-scale stage BOSS anymore.” 9527 stared at Wang Yu on the display screen as he smiled.

“Ziiii~”

Before Wang Yu’s dagger could pierce through the God of Puppets’ waist, he heard an ear-piercing sound. The God of Puppets’ waist twisted one round in an extremely odd manner before his long sword streaked across a ring of sword radiance.

“F*ck!” Wang Yu was taken aback as he quickly switched his weapon back to his pole to block the attack.

“Duang!”

Wang Yu was sent flying like a baseball. When he landed at the periphery of the Tower of Elements, his health dropped to 30% and his spirit guard was activated.

“Tskk...” Wang Yu wiped his sweat as he took in a deep breath of cold air.

This broken BOSS was way too illogical. The BOSS was already standing at an unreachable spot and yet he could still twist his upper body like that. This was simply way too despicable.

What made Wang Yu more fearful was the force of the God of Puppets’ attack. To think that his spirit guard would be activated even after he blocked the attack. If he didn’t have the spirit guard, wouldn’t he be killed in an instant?

And this was only 10% of his attributes. Wang Yu couldn’t imagine how unbelievably strong this BOSS’s damage would be if he was in his peak phase. No wonder he was the stage BOSS of this scale. Even a skinny camel is larger than a horse. Just this one attack was enough for Wang Yu to conclude that this was the strongest BOSS he had faced.

“Aiya! He survived that?” Seeing how Wang Yu managed to survive, 9527 slammed the table.

9527 knew better than anyone how powerful the attack of the God of Puppets was. This sword attack was enough to kill even a level 60 Guardian without the Invincible Halo, let alone a level 40 Pugilist.

9527 was truly astonished to see how Wang Yu suffered quite a blow but was still able to survive.

“Chief Hao, your attitude isn’t right... This person didn’t externally modify at all.” Little Zhang continued to remind him.

9527’s attitude towards Wang Yu had been negative ever since he suspected Wang Yu of external modification. As he watched the live streams of his actions, he wanted him dead. From a professional point of view of a game designer, this attitude was not appropriate.

“Enough nonsense! What do you know?” 9527 glared at Little Zhang before saying, “This fella’s health is less than 30%. He won’t be able to last long.”

Little Zhang laughed, “But why do I have this feeling that he has already understood how to attack Webster?”

“That is a misperception.” 9527 explained, “Even though only 10% of Webster’s attributes were released and many other skills were not unlocked, he only needed his [Holy Sparkle] skill. This would be enough to put him in an invincible position.

The [Holy Sparkle] skill was the white halo beneath the foot of the God of Puppets.

This white halo’s description was extremely simple — the attacks of any target more than a 100 away will be ineffective.

The description might be simple but the attributes were extremely cruel. This way, players’ attack would only be effective if they were within 100 of the God of Puppets. Just this rule alone was enough to dismiss all the long-range jobs.

In <<REBIRTH>>, the job with the shortest combat distance was a Pugilist whose normal attack distance was 50 metres while an Assassin’s combat distance was 80. This meant to say that under normal circumstances, only these two jobs could cause damages to the BOSS.

But as a close-combat BOSS, the God of Puppets’ normal range of attacks was close to 300. Additionally, this monster’s 360-degree twisting of his body was way too despicable. Moreover, his attacks were so strong that even a Guardian couldn’t defend, let alone a weak defence job.

Logically, only those with the combination of a holy job and invincibility skill would stand a chance to touch this BOSS. Now that Wang Yu was the only one here, it was basically impossible to defeat the BOSS.

“Chief Hao, did you see that? He managed to attack the BOSS effectively once.” Little Zhang asked.

“Luck! That is definitely luck. He will not stand half a chance after this!” 9527 said, “If you don’t trust me, why don’t we make a bet? If he can last five minutes, I will eat the keyboard.”

Little Zhang’s mouth twitched, “Alright, you’re just not happy with my keyboard, right? Just this short time and you want to eat my keyboard twice. Eh? Look at what he is doing?”

At this point, Little Zhang changed the topic of conversation.

9527 followed Little Zhang’s finger as he turned to look at the screen.

Currently, Wang Yu wasn’t like any other ordinary players. Instead of consuming pills to replenish his health, Wang Yu wielded his sword and charged towards God of Puppets instead.

“Aiya, what is this fella doing? He is really not going to shed a tear until he sees the coffin huh?”

At the sight of this, 9527 had no idea what was going on in Wang Yu’s mind.
