  "Ha ha ha!"

  Fearless sinisterly grinned when he saw what Angela had done.

  By the time that Angela had noticed Fearless’ smile, it was already too late for her.

  Wang Yu had predicted that an intelligent AI like Angela would heed the suggestions that it heard, hence it was possible that she would take Fearless’ suggestion. But Wang Yu had already prepared for this, slashing her in the face and knocking her up.

  As a boss that specialised in magic and a humanoid boss, Angela was sent flying by Wang Yu’s attack.

  There were many ways to perform a combo attack in the game, but the easiest way was by controlling the movements of your enemies. Knocking them up was arguably the best method to do so.

  When a monster was knocked into the air, it couldn’t perform a majority of its actions. If a player could grasp the timing of his own skills properly, he could unleash a devastating combo on his target.

  But because <<REBIRTH boasted that their game was more realistic than others on the market, the conditions that players would have to fulfil in order knock up monsters was extremely stringent. They had to attack their enemies from the front.

  But all of Angela’s attacks were from the front. At the very least [Death’s Gaze] could be easily avoided, but the poison could that [Bone Eroding Mist] created would last for 5 seconds……

  There was simply no way for Wang Yu to attack her from the front.

  After watching them fight for a while, Fearless was able to discern that Wang Yu wanted to attack Angela from the front. Hence he decided to trick her into changing targets.

  As smart as the AI’s in this game were, they were still just that small bit worse than the human mind.

  Once Wang Yu had knocked her up into the air, he quickly switched from the Backbiting Blade to another martial arts, the Nine Revolution Blade.

  Wang Yu raised his sword as he relentlessly slashed Angela. Without even giving her a chance to defend herself, Wang Yu had immediately thrown her into the air once more as he began his merciless assualt-

  1785-

  1459-

  2451……

  A series of crimson red numbers floated above Angela’s head as her health rapidly fell.

  There were nine components to Wang Yu’s Nine Revolution Blade, each with four moves resulting in a total of thirty six moves. By the fourth time that Wang Yu had completed all thirty six moves, Angela’s health had dropped to 30%!

  "You despicable humans!" Angela roared as she wrapped herself in a ray of green light/

  "Ai, what is this woman doing……" Wang Yu sighed as he jumped back by half a metre, escaping Angela’s attack range.

  "Feel the burning wrath of the nether serpent!" Angela roared as she wildy swung her arms.

  "Time to end this!" Wang Yu chuckled as he dashed towards her.

  "Hu! Hu!"

  But Wang Yu suddenly felt a wild tremor from beneath his feet.

  As he looked around, he realised that there ten pillars growing out from the ground, trying to entrap him!

  Wang Yu twisted his body, jumped to the side…… dodging the stone pillars as he continue running forward.

  "Pa……"

  Wang Yu’s sword had been trapped between two stone pillars.

  The pillars that Angela had just summoned were very similar to the pillars that were already in the palace. The gap between them was so narrow that there was only enough space for a single person to squeeze through. There was no way to attack in such a narrow environment.

  Right at this moment, Angela summoned her poisonous mist at Wang Yu’s location. Wang Yu could only helplessly keep his sword as he retreated.

  But how could he possibly escape so easily? Angela’s aggro was firmly locked onto Wang Yu, allowing her to swiftly chase him down.

  Wang Yu’s initial plan was to lure Angela out from the forest of stone pillars before killing her. Little did he know that this forest of stone pillars would actually follow her around!

  "Old Bull, run to the right!" Fearless suddenly shouted.

  "What’s the use of going to the right……" Wang Yu thought to himself. Despite not knowing Fearless’ intentions, Wang Yu decided to trust him anyway/

  "Just lure her to the right……" Fearless said again.

  "Cha……"

  To the right of Wang Yu was the wall of the palace. Wang Yu had ended up being trapped by Angela with his back against the wall.

  "God damn it…… the two dogs of the church are over there, I have -200 merit points with the faction of light……" Wang Yu grumbled.

  "Hmph!" Angela coldly snorted as a dim glow appeared in her eyes, she was about to use [Death’s Gaze]!

  Wang Yu quickly rolled to the side, narrowly dodging her attack, but Angela moved forward yet again, using her stone pillars to further limit Wang Yu’s movements.

  Wang Yu had no way of escaping.

  There was only a metre between each stone pillar, barely enough for someone like Wang Yu to squeeze through. He would definitely be in a disadvantage if he tried to fight her in the midst of these stone pillars.

  Wang Yu had no way of displaying his might.

  His long sword was roughly one and a half metres long, meaning that he couldn’t even swing it at Angela. This sword was not even suitable for stabbing because of how long it was.

  This environment was only suited for small weapons like fist weapons or daggers.

  But Wang Yu didn’t have a dagger and his fist weapons were utterly ineffective against Angela.

  He was like a tiger whose teeth and claws had been ripped out. While Angela was like a fish in water, she was in complete control of this terrain and excelled in using it to her advantage.

  "F*ck this, I don’t have a dagger but a bow should work…… huh, what’s this? Well this might just work……" Wang Yu mumbled as he frantically searched through his inventory……
