Chapter 1440: Despicable Nephis

Wang Yu was a martial artist, a grandmaster of his generation who feared nothing at all.

Ever since Wang Yu started playing the game, he had faced up against countless opponents of varying strength. As long as one dared to challenge Wang Yu, Wang Yu had yet to fear anyone thus far.

Wang Yu even dared to fight the king of close-combat at his peak, Dragon Emperor Dales, let alone Nephis who had her strength reduced to level 80.

Of course, he only dared to do that because he knew how strong he was.

Given Wang Yu’s abilities, it didn’t matter who he was up against. In the entire game, Wang Yu was confident of defeating anyone placed in front of him.

Nephis was merely a long-range magic BOSS and she actually dared to challenge Wang Yu. Naturally, Wang Yu was going to satisfy her wishes.

“He… what is the meaning of this?”

The observational crew was stunned when they saw how Wang Yu actually pulled out his sword to face Nephis, “Don’t tell me this fella is going to challenge Nephis to a solo fight?”

Even though the older workers knew how good Wang Yu was, they were aware that Wang Yu was facing a God-grade BOSS. Moreover, Wang Yu was one who brought his crew with him which was why everyone thought that Nephis was going to be encircled. They were convinced that Wang Yu was merely going to be a figure to draw the aggro on himself.

Who knew that Wang Yu was this brave to challenge Nephis to a solo fight… As for the other experts behind him, they were merely there to fill up the required number of players for the dungeon.

Who was the real monster here?!

The observational crew members were on the verge of crying out loud.

…

Just when everyone was stressing out, Nephis had already made her move.

“Tsk!”

Nephis sneered coldly at Wang Yu before raising her sharp sword.

In terms of speed or strength, there was no doubting Nephis’ abilities. However, she was many levels off as compared to a proper close-combat BOSS like Dales. Throughout the whole time, she only knew a few strokes and swings which was a real pity considering her level of attributes.

An opponent of this level could be considered frightening because one could be killed after being hit by one move. One could also consider it to be a simple fight as long as one avoided being hit.

Firepower was not equivalent to fighting strength. No matter how high the damage output, it would merely be a waste of energy if one couldn’t hit his opponent.

Following Nephis’ swings of her sword, Wang Yu took a half a step backwards. Just when Nephis’ long sword was about to hit him, Wang Yu dodged swiftly to the side.

Following the momentum, Nephis couldn’t help but move forward a step.

At the same time, Wang Yu turned his feets to arrive at the side of Nephis. Following which, he used his left hand to press Nephis’ shoulder forward.

“Aiya…”

Nephis did not see this coming and immediately lost balance because of Wang Yu.

However, a God-grade BOSS was ultimately a God-grade BOSS. Just when she was about to fall onto the ground, she managed to retract her body and pressed her left hand on the ground. With a strong wrist, she managed to regain her footing with a firm and impressive flip. Concurrently, her long sword formed a moon shape as a fiery sword Qi flew towards Wang Yu.

“Shameless! She can actually do that!”

Wang Yu was left speechless when he saw Nephis’ sword Qi. While he was a martial artist, his opponent actually upgraded to a fantasy level. How was this fair?

At the perfect timing, Wang Yu jumped over the sword Qi that was flying towards him.

Nephis smiled faintly as she pointed her finger to shoot her [Death Ray] towards Wang Yu.

She must have possessed the highest AI in the game to be this crafty.

A Pugilist was already one of the most agile jobs in the game but Wang Yu brought the word ‘agile’ to a whole new level.

Even though Nephis and Wang Yu merely exchanged two blows, the learning ability of an intelligent NPC was incredibly impressive. Two rounds were more than enough for Nephis to sense how difficult it was to deal with Wang Yu. Wang Yu’s peculiar way of fighting was unfamiliar to Nephis so to hit him, she needed to restrain his movements.

Evidently, a player in the air would be less mobile than one on the ground.

What she didn’t know was that Wang Yu had qing gong and with a simple step in the air, he managed to dodge Nephis’ [Death Ray] easily.

“!!!”

Nephis was slightly taken aback as she casually threw out five fireballs towards Wang Yu.

Wang Yu did not panic as he rotated his wrists while holding onto the sword which created five sword flowers.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!”

A series of explosions sounded as the five fireballs exploded before reaching Wang Yu.

“Pah!”

Before the smoke of the fireball explosion disappeared, Nephis made a hand signal. Flaming dragons appeared beneath Wang Yu as they instantly submerged Wang Yu.

“Boom!”

Wang Yu, who was in the flames, turned into fragments.

“It’s a clone!”

Nephis hurriedly looked up as Wang Yu was already on top of her. She had no idea when that happened but when she realised, Wang Yu’s lightning foot was already stomping towards her head.

Nephis was struck by [Thunder God’s Stomp] once so she knew just how powerful this move was. The damage was not the most important to her because she was more concerned about the repel effect. Given her status, it was simply embarrassing to be knocked back by a player.

Nephis raised both her hands helplessly as a flaming shield blocked Wang Yu’s attack.

“Boom!!!”

As Wang Yu’s foot stomped on the shield, the shield was directly turned into sparks flying in all directions. Wang Yu was once again lifted into the air.

“[Flaming Tornado]!”

Nephis shouted when she saw that Wang Yu was lifted back in the air. She raised her right hand violently and with Nephis as the centre, a flaming tornado flew upwards towards Wang Yu.

Wang Yu executed his Qing Gong to lift himself several metres higher. By using [Rippling Wave] downwards, he jumped another ten metres upwards before two white wings extended on his back. He started floating in the air.

“Angel’s Wings!!”

Nephis was initially surprised to see the wings on Wang Yu’s back before eventually revealing a wicked smile.

“???”

Nephis’ smile made Wang Yu shiver uncontrollably. Before Wang Yu could react, countless fireballs emerged from Nephis’ palms as they flew upwards towards Wang Yu.

“F*ck?! Despicable!”

Seeing what happened, even a cultured man like Wang Yu couldn’t help but curse.

The workers watching this fight finally felt relieved as they were convinced that the BOSS finally regained her upper hand in the fight.

This was especially true for Little Zhao, who acted as though he was the one who defeated Wang Yu. he looked on with such a prideful smile, “Haha! To think that this fella can suffer like that too! After all, he is still only a level 60 player and wanting to challenge a God-grade BOSS was simply a little forceful.”

“Indeed!” the bald man commented, “I have to admit that even though this player is ridiculously strong, he is still lacking in front of the highest grade BOSS which we designed!”

“That is true, that is true!” The observational crew members nodded as they felt incredibly satisfied with this ‘outcome’.
