Chapter 402: Conqueror
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
When he received this system notification, Wang Yu shot a glance at the Guardian. So this punk is called Conqueror. He actually picked this name. [1]
"What the f*ck! What’s going on??!!!"
Seeing the magic skills and arrows get repelled, it wasn’t just the people of Feng Yun Guild, everyone on the scene was stunned still.
Even Red Spiderlily muttered softly in shock, "Iro... Iron Bull? It’s really you?"
If Wang Yu had dodged the attacks, then it wouldn’t be anything fantastic. If one’s dexterity was high enough, even a trash job like Pugilist would be able to easily dodge the attacks.
However, Wang Yu didn’t dodge nor avoid the attacks. He actually blocked all the attacks with his sword. This even included the Boss’s Poison Arrow.
This was truly unbelievable. From the very start, this fella didn’t move from his spot. Even his feet hadn’t moved...
"You guys can take the Boss but why must you harass a lady? It was not as if she did it intentionally."
With a casual wave of his sword, Wang Yu blocked another Poison Arrow. His eyes were fixed on that Guardian called ’Conqueror’ as he did this.
Conqueror was fully-equipped with Silver tier equipment. Naturally, he wasn’t a weakling. Seeing Wang Yu’s capabilities, he immediately knew that he had met an expert.
Although Wang Yu was holding a one-handed sword, he was dressed like a Pugilist. This caused the shock in Conqueror’s heart to grow. He could not help but ask, "I would like to know who you are. You dare to interfere with my Feng Yun Guild’s matters?"
"Iron Bull!" Wang Yu pulled Red Spiderlily away. Only after they left the aggro-zone of the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor did he shout a reply.
No matter whether he was facing an enemy or a friend, Wang Yu treated others with modesty. He would never say ’You don’t deserve to know this old man’s name!’ or any other nonsense of the like.
Of course, this was also because Wang Yu knew that his name held some clout in Twilight City. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the best thing to do is to prevent battles.
However, Wang Yu had miscalculated. If he was facing old players of Twilight City, his ’Iron Bull’ would definitely ring a bell. However, after the system was officially opened, there were large amounts of new players. In their minds, ’Iron Bull’ was the name of some livestock. For the extensive readers among them, they would even think of the bull beside Yellow River.
The average level of the old players was roughly level 25. Besides Conqueror’s party, the only person that was above level 25 was Red Spiderlily... The number of people that recognised Wang Yu could be counted within one’s fingers.
When they saw Wang Yu announce his name with such grandeur, no one found it terrifying. In fact, most found it rather laughable.
The level of people in Conqueror’s group wasn’t low and their capabilities weren’t weak either. However, they clearly weren’t from Twilight City. When they heard Wang Yu’s nickname, they didn’t think too much of it. They only had a faint impression that it was the name of an expert.
However, the name ’Iron Bull’ caused Conqueror to be reminded of something.
"I wonder what’s your relation with Mrs Bull’s Convenience Store?" Conqueror suddenly asked.
Wang Yu shouted, "I opened it!"
"You are from Quan Zhen Sect?"
"En." Wang Yu nodded.
When Conqueror heard this, his expression turned grave. At the same time, he ordered in the guild chat, "He is one of the people that our boss wants to kill. Kill him!"
Upon this order, the group threw out their skills at Wang Yu again.
Because the people of Feng Yun Guild had seen Wang Yu’s methods, they no longer used Icicles and Charged Arrows. Instead, they used Ice Thorns and Homing Arrows.
There was no need to talk much about the skill, Homing Arrow. Ice Thorn was a target-type skill that could be learned when an Ice Wizard reaches level 20. It would cause an ice thorn to form on the target. Its attack power wasn’t very high but it was relatively wretched.
The attack power of these two skills wasn’t very high. But when they were used by more than 10 people, things were different.
Fortunately, Wang Yu could sense his opponents’ killing intent. Before their skills could activate, his weapon changed into a staff. With a slam on the floor, he jumped to the back of the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor.
Just as the skills from the Feng Yun Guild activated, Wang Yu’s figure flashed and he instantly disappeared. All the attacks from the Feng Yun Guild landed on the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor.
The control effects of ice-type skills were stronger in the swamp. If the slowing effect was added, one would be forcibly rooted. Although a beast-type Boss had higher control immunity, it was still frozen into a cube of ice when attacked by more than ten Ice Thorns.
Originally when he saw Wang Yu escape, Conqueror was cursing Wang Yu’s slyness. However, when he saw the attacks land favourably on the Boss, Conqueror could not help but celebrate. He immediately ordered for them to continue attacking the Voss.
Slowing effects could be overlapped but a control effect like freezing couldn’t.
After one round of attacks, the ice cube shattered. Just as Conqueror was about to order his underlings to freeze the Boss again, he suddenly felt a power tremor beside him. Immediately, he saw two Magicians beside him being thrown into the air.
As everyone knows, a frog is naturally interested in flying objects. At this moment, the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor was in a combat state. When it saw the two magicians flying in the air, its mouth widened, its tongue whipped out and the two magicians were immediately swallowed.
With two players entering its stomach, the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor’s HP which had fallen instantly recovered. At the same time, its body flashed with light. The second wave of ice-control attacks from Feng Yun Guild actually didn’t take effect.
When they saw two of their teammates being attacked, the people from Feng Yun Guild hurriedly turned their heads. By this time, they saw another two magicians being swallowed into the mouth of the Poison Arrow Frog Emperor. At where the two magicians once stood, there was now a Pugilist. If this wasn’t Wang Yu, who else could it be?
In a short period of time, four of his teammates were killed. Anger rose from the bottom of Conqueror’s heart. Without saying a second word, he charged towards Wang Yu. However, he did not feel any impact. There was no one in front of him. Immediately after, he heard a "Boom!". A large bit of Conqueror’s HP had dropped.
Qigong Master’s Level 25 skill - Afterimage Fist, Level 30 skill - Afterimage Explosion.
The first skill uses magic to create a false image. However, this afterimage couldn’t be moved. The second skill causes the afterimage to explode. Anyone within a fixed distance from the afterimage would be damaged.
At its peak, the Afterimage Fist can create 10 afterimages. Coupled with the Afterimage Explosion, it was an extremely powerful skill of a late-stage Pugilist.
Fortunately for Conqueror, Wang Yu had only learned this skill and he wasn’t very familiar with it, allowing him to only form one afterimage. Although Conqueror was struck head-on, he didn’t lose more than 10% of his HP.
After the Afterimage Explosion, Conqueror saw Wang Yu’s true body beside the afterimage. His finger pointed towards Wang Yu and curled. This was a provocation skill and it pulled Wang Yu over.
Wang Yu smiled faintly. With a light jump, his legs started turning.
Martial Savant Level 30 skill - Tornado Kick. In the air, he would kick out three times. Each attack would cause 170% damage.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Wang Yu’s attack power had always been hitherto unheard of. At this moment, all his three kicks landed on Conqueror’s head. Before Conqueror could even cry out in pain, he was already killed on the spot.
