Chapter 23: Toying With the Peerless Squad

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Behind Lin Fan’s team.

Lin Fan’s [Ghoul (Lv. 18)] was fighting against the Peerless Team.

This was the first enemy they saw, so they started attacking immediately.

The first to make a move was Feng Xiaoyun, Level 22 [S-Class profession: Gun God].

As an S-Class professional, he was a very talented person.

He immediately displayed his skill [Rapid Shooting].

[Rapid Shooting: Increase the damage of each bullet by shooting continuously.]

The seemingly simple attack was actually filled with killing intent.

He had a passive [Lethal].

[Lethal: When using “Last Shot of Normal Attack”, “Floating Bullet”, “Stomp Shot”, “Automatic Counterattack”, “Headshot”, “Random Shot”, and “Mad Massacre”, there is a certain chance to instantly kill the target.]

Unfortunately, the Ghoul did not get to eat his last bullet, so there was no judgment of his talent.

Other than that.

This was the first time that the Ghoul had moved so nimbly, and it gave Feng Xiaoyun an unprecedented challenge. He immediately became serious and began to use more of his abilities.

“Can you do it, scrag?!”

Li Ming moved.

This was not a competition for credit, but a tactical cooperation. Their cooperation basically did not require any verbal communication.

This was because it was usually agreed upon beforehand.

If they encountered such a speed-type opponent, under the situation where Feng Xiaoyun’s first wave of attacks was ineffective, it would be the turn of Li Ming the [A-Class profession: Gale Swordsman].

At this time, Feng Xiaoyun entered a special period.

[Powered-up Shooting—Floating Bullet: By charging up the bullet, you can inject magic into it and shoot at the enemy.]

Once hit, the enemy would be knocked into the air, and Feng Xiaoyun would be able to follow up with the next two skills.

[Frenzied Slaughter: Gathers power and launches a powerful attack. After causing the surrounding enemies to float in the air, you will move and fire bullets at the enemies in front of you for 2 rounds. Then, spin in the air and fire bullets at the surrounding enemies and deal great damage to the enemies.]

Although this set was a skill, it only had three hits. Most enemies would die before he could finish the entire set.

There was also another skill [Death Revolver].

[Death Revolver: A headshot can increase explosive damage by 200%.]

Since Feng Xiaoyun had failed to use [Lethal], he had no choice but to levitate the enemy.

Of course, the premise was that the enemy could live until he finished charging up.

His teammate Li Ming the [A-Class profession: Gale Swordsman] was also a very fast player.

He was very good at dealing with such fast enemies.

Li Ming’s first move was [Forward Slash].

[Forward Slash: Pushes toward the target enemy, causing 70 magic damage, and increases the base damage of the next dash by 25%, up to a maximum of 50%. Cannot be cast repeatedly on the same enemy within 8 seconds.]

When Li Ming grabbed the hilt at his waist, he had turned into an afterimage and instantly attacked.

A white light flashed in the air.

Li Ming successfully hit the Ghoul.

Unfortunately, he caused a relatively small injury. The blade pierced through the Ghoul’s ribs, but because the Ghoul did not feel pain, it did not care.

Nonetheless, the Ghoul was not in a hurry to go forward.

Instead, he let out a low growl in the surroundings, drooling from the corner of its mouth, making people wary of it.

It did not know that it was restricted by this, delaying its time.

On the other side.

Lin Fan, who was controlling the other Undead units to stop the Trolls, was a little surprised when he saw the news from the Ghoul.

The people around him saw the change in his expression and could not help but ask, “What happened, Lin Fan?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just a small matter. However, to be able to injure my Ghoul so quickly, they’re quite capable. As expected of the strongest team in this dungeon.”

Lin Fan thought for a moment before giving his second order.

At this moment, the Ghoul made a move to accumulate strength. Its body became even lower, and its legs that did not have much flesh bent as it was about to pounce.

Li Ming felt the opportunity and used its second skill, [Slashing Steel Flash].

[Slashing Steel Flash: Thrust forward fiercely to cause physical damage (Can cause a critical hit. The higher the attack speed, the faster the stab). If it hits the enemy, it will obtain a layer of Whirlwind Slash effect. After accumulating two layers, it will form a whirlwind that can send the enemy flying. If this skill is cast during the advance of Forward Slash, Slashing Steel Flash will strike in a circular shape.]

Suddenly, a picturesque semi-circular light blue Sword Qi flew forward, leaving one mesmerized.

Nevertheless, there was a flaw in this beautiful scene. This move missed!

Li Ming was shocked. He had never made a mistake in his previous two consecutive moves. Today was the first time he had missed. For someone like him who was cold and arrogant, it was simply a great humiliation that almost made him faint from anger!

“F*ck!”

He, who was originally a man of few words, suddenly became talkative.

“F*ck you, what are you doing? You were about to pounce over just now, right? Why did you turn around and leave?!”

Other than the fact that the Ghoul did not move normally, there was another reason he missed. The ghouls moved very quickly.

If Li Ming the [Gale Swordsman] was not using his skills, he would not be able to catch up easily. He would be pulled apart by a certain distance.

It was because there was some distance between them and the Ghoul had chosen to escape that the huge crescent-shaped sword Qi could not reach it.

“Hahahaha…”

The highest-level player in their team, Luo Mang, Level 24 [A-Class profession: Berserker] began to mock him.

Li Ming’s handsome face turned red from being laughed at.

He quickly pulled up the scarf that had fallen to his neck because he was moving too fast and covered the lower half of his face.

That said, Li Ming still fell into a dilemma for a moment.

He did not know if he should use his skill again.

The other party was obviously toying him.

The monster was too smart!

If not for the fact that the Ghoul was not human at all, Li Ming would have suspected that the other party had a high IQ and knew his strengths and weaknesses in advance.

At this moment, Li Ming’s passive [Unyielding] had been activated.

[Unyielding: When moving, sword intent will be accumulated. When the sword intent slot is filled, if you receive damage from the enemy, you will receive a shield that can absorb 100 damage (*of your level) for 1.5 seconds.]

There was a faint white sword intent flowing on Li Ming’s sharp blade but…

This was because his skills had a cooldown and consumed mana.

So …

If he could not reach the Ghoul with a dash, he might as well give chase without using any skills.
