MMORPG: Martial Gamer Chapter 490 Sidestepping

The Sixth Apostle got up with an awkward expression on his face. He swept off the dust on his clothes as he turned and stared at w.a.n.g Yu, "Young man, you really do have some skills. But did you really think you can…"

Before the Sixth Apostle could finish his sentence, w.a.n.g Yu suddenly extended his two fingers to poke the Sixth Apostle's eyes. The Sixth Apostle was shocked as he hurriedly swung his sword at w.a.n.g Yu. w.a.n.g Yu smiled and retracted his fingers as he leaned to the side. After dodging the Sixth Apostle's attack, his right hand seized the opportunity to push him and used his leg to trip the Sixth Apostle. The Sixth Apostle stumbled upon the push and almost fell to the ground again.

At this moment, w.a.n.g Yu followed over too. He used one finger to jab the Sixth Apostle's neck and an imprisonment symbol appeared on his head.

If One Page Book was around, she would have recognised that this was pressure point skill. However, n.o.body around knew anything like that. All they knew was shock and fear when they saw w.a.n.g Yu restrained the Sixth Apostle with just one finger. All their eyeb.a.l.l.s almost flew out when they witnessed something as unbelievable as this.

"Stop staring blankly like this is a magic show! Hurry up and attack!"

w.a.n.g Yu's words woke everyone up from their shock as they hurriedly executed skills after skills. After one set of attacks, they managed to reduce about 100000 HP of the Sixth Apostle.

After the attacks, the Sixth Apostle's control effect had also been dismissed. By the time he got himself ready again, everyone left the formation immediately.

The Sixth Apostle knew that w.a.n.g Yu was impressive so he decided not to deal with him anymore. After giving a stern glance at w.a.n.g Yu, he charged towards the rest of the squad with his sword.

w.a.n.g Yu followed suit and went right in front of the Sixth Apostle.

The Sixth Apostle's current aggro was no longer on w.a.n.g Yu. Even though w.a.n.g Yu arrived right in front of him, he didn't even notice w.a.n.g Yu as he charged forward. w.a.n.g Yu avoided the Sixth Apostle's charge as he extended the pole in his hand and struck the Sixth Apostle's b.u.t.t. This time, he was truly flabbergasted.

"...Hehe… Old Bull… You are truly a unique person!" Seeing how dirty w.a.n.g Yu's attack was, everyone started feeling a little embarra.s.sed of their teammate.

What kind of character was the Sixth Apostle? He was one of the greatest BOSS in > and a highly intelligent NPC in the game. Even though this was merely a weakened clone of him, there was still a certain amount of pride in him. Tripping and falling to the ground was still acceptable but now w.a.n.g Yu even used a pole to smack his b.u.t.t…

Something so embarra.s.sing could not be tolerated! The Sixth Apostle turned around in an infuriated manner as he shouted at w.a.n.g Yu, "What are you doing?"

"I am your opponent!" w.a.n.g Yu held onto the pole as he replied.

"B*lls.h.i.+t! Who do you think you are?" The Sixth Apostle flew into a greater rage when he heard w.a.n.g Yu's provocation.

"I think you're scared of me." w.a.n.g Yu replied calmly.

"I will slaughter you!" The Sixth Apostle's rage was at his limit as he gave up on everyone else and charged right towards w.a.n.g Yu.

w.a.n.g Yu smiled and welcomed him with open arms.

Nine Solitary Spears asked in shock, "What kind of persuasion method was that?"

"He managed to pull the BOSS's aggro away…" Thunderlord mumbled to himself, "Who knew that intelligent NPC's aggro could be pulled in this manner…"

Thunderlord was truly a professional gamer as he could see through w.a.n.g Yu's plan just like that.

Intelligent NPC's intelligence was not very much different from a normal player. In fact, it could even be slightly higher than some of the players. Simple taunting might work for some brainless monsters but it would be useless against an intelligent monster like this one.

w.a.n.g Yu also found out from the previous dungeon that attacking the sensitive portion of an intelligent BOSS could trigger the BOSS's aggro and rage to the limit. Therefore, taunting intelligent BOSS with words and sensitive body parts would usually be more effective than normal skills.

The Sixth Apostle was so infuriated that he started hacking and slas.h.i.+ng repeatedly. Every slash brought along immense energy as though it could cut through a mountain every single time. Even so, w.a.n.g Yu was like a leaf floating in the ocean. Every time the BOSS looked like he was going to hit w.a.n.g Yu, w.a.n.g Yu avoided it in such nimble ways.

The Sixth Apostle was very strong and was even enhanced by the Heart of Darkness. However, he was still considered a power-type BOSS. While every attack brought along extreme force, the speed of the attack wasn't considered impressive. After all, even the heavy tank Thunderlord could dodge it, let alone the extremely agile w.a.n.g Yu.

Because a Power-type BOSS's attacks were powerful, not only were the speed of the attacks slightly slower, the speed at which he retracted his sword was also slower than agile BOSS. To others, the Sixth Apostle seemed like an extremely formidable BOSS. To w.a.n.g Yu, he was much easier to deal with than the agile a.s.sa.s.sin BOSS he had to deal with at the start of the dungeon.

Looking at how w.a.n.g Yu avoided every slash of the Sixth Apostle, Thunderlord muttered to himself, "It is really the sidestep flow method to deal with a tank… To think that it actually exists in this game too…"

In the previous mouse and keyboard games, resisting and sidestepping were two attributes of gamers. Because this involved a few probability problems, gamers usually only use either resistance or sidestepping. Therefore, tanks were divided into two extreme styles. Those that resist and those that dodge.

Back then, the internet argued over whether resistance or dodging was the more impressive method. After some time, everyone on the internet dismissed sidestepping as a skill and only resistance became a properly recognised skill. As things progressed, a player could only depend on his own movement if he wanted to dodge the BOSS's attack. Because of this, the sidestepping skill disappeared without a trace. As a first generation gamer and a tank, Thunderlord witnessed this incredible sidestep method to fight a BOSS once again.

Every time the Sixth Apostle missed w.a.n.g Yu, the angrier he became. This way, the aggro pulled by w.a.n.g Yu became more stable. Additionally, w.a.n.g Yu would occasionally attack the Sixth Apostle a few times. This time, the Sixth Apostle really hated w.a.n.g Yu to the core.

As everyone saw how stable the BOSS's aggro was pulled by w.a.n.g Yu, they didn't waste any time as they attacked whenever they deemed appropriate.

The Sixth Apostle's health started to show a significant decrease.

As everyone got used to this way of attacking the BOSS, the Sixth Apostle's health decreased at an increasing rate. Without spending a lot of time, his health was left with 50%.

After all, this was still an Ancient grade BOSS so n.o.body actually believed that they could defeat him in this manner.

Once his health dropped to below 50%, the Sixth Apostle suddenly shouted, "All you insignificant ants, you've really driven me mad now!"

"Not good! Everyone get out of the way!"

w.a.n.g Yu shouted as he dodged the first slash by the BOSS.

Everyone was an expert so they naturally knew that BOSS was going to burst out. Even without w.a.n.g Yu's reminder, everyone started retreating far away from the Sixth Apostle.

The Sixth Apostle's sword turned and forced w.a.n.g Yu to retreat. Following that, he raised his sword to face the sky and black magic flames descended from the sky like rain. It covered an infinite radius around the Sixth Apostle's position.

"A sky full of flames, extreme sorrow turn to joy!"

w.a.n.g Yu executed his Seven Star Steps as he approached the BOSS. He avoided the sky full of flaming rain as he extended his arm to tug at the Sixth Apostle, who was raising his long sword.

The instant w.a.n.g Yu grabbed hold of the Sixth Apostle, he suddenly felt like he was not holding anything. It was an illusion and at this moment, a teleportation gate appeared not too far away from w.a.n.g Yu's body.
