Virtual World: Conquering the World

Chapter 144: Assassin law

In the end, Ling Xue pursed her lips and said, "Hey, stop looking.  You really know how to play as a rogue?"

I quickly complained in my heart, but I still said with a nod, "Yes, I used to play as a rogue in the previous game, but I wasn't as powerful as Bing Cha says I was.  I was just messing around"

Ling Yue seemed to understand something.  She just revealed a smile and didn't say anything.

Ling Xue was still interested as she said, "Little fool, since you also played as a rogue before, then you can give Zi Yue some suggestions.  We can't let her be the only noob in our Xue Yue, how can we bring her out to fight later on?  Then again, rogues have just as good effects as swordsman, just with different techniques, so I can also learn a bit from you~~Un, it won't be long before we attend the King's Return competition, so we should train now~~"

I considered it before saying, "Alright.  Zi Yue, come over here!"

Zi Yue came over in high spirits.  The giant mounds shaking under the leather armour really shook one's heart.

"Big brother Bookworm, let me ask you first.  It's impossible for assassins to rely on other people to level, so how can I survive in the wilderness by myself?"  Zi Yue looked up at me as she asked this.

I thought for a bit before saying, "When leveling in the wilderness, it naturally isn't a problem killing mobs.  The key is how to PK when meeting enemies.  This, I'll tell you about the assassin law.  It's a secret technique and can't be passed down to others"

Zi Yue immediately said with a smile, "Alright, alright, alright!"

Summer and Ling Xue also came over and looked at me with those big, beautiful eyes.

I felt a bit nervous and gave a gulp before casually saying, "Zi Yue, remember, there are six main laws for assassins when PKing.  One, you can't kill anyone other than cloth armours.  Two, you can't kill unless they're low HP.  Three, you can't kill those that don't have low mana.  Four, you can't kill unless you have broken equipment.  Five, don't kill unless they are idiots that don't want to die.  And six, don't kill those who aren't alone."

The sisters Ling Xue and Ling Yue looked at me with wide eyes, "These laws, aren't they a bit too crude?"

I explained, "Assassins aren't righteous and open Jobs.  If you fight head on, there's no meaning in being an assassin."

Zi Yue quickly wrote down each one of these before asking, "Is there anything else?"

I said, "There are also the three main commandments.  First, you can't stay with noobs for too long because others will gang up on you.  Two, you have to remember that you can't kill the same player more than three times, it will wear you down.  Three, if you do kill someone more than three times and they start showing signs of giving up like taking off their equipment and dancing, you should give up on killing them."

After some nonsense, the girls were all stunned.  Ling Xue said with a sigh, "You really are something"

I said, "Whether it's a rogue or an assassin, we need some morals for our Job.  We can't just be ruthless, right?"

Ling Xue gave a nod that really didn't seem like she understood, but she still asked with a smile, "Then since you were a rogue expert, do you know hidden close range combat skills?"

The close combat girls of the studio all came over.  Bing Cha also listened in with an interested look.

I felt very happy so I said, "Close range combat is very simple.  When fighting long range Jobs, you just need to get close.  Wouldn't they die if you approached?  The main thing is when you're fighting another close range Job.  There are three tactics for this, seizing an opportunity to attack, getting in a position to attack, or running and attacking at the same time, which is called dragging blade."

Ling Xue was a bit surprised, "Why is it so complicated?"

I explained, "Close range combat Jobs have a gap between each attack and that makes each weapon different.  The attack speed of a dagger is around once per second and the attack speed of swords are two per second.  The axes and such are even longer, so you should move away from the target to avoid being hurt."

Bing Cha didn't believe this, "Is it that serious?"

I revealed a smile, "Bing Cha, let's compare notes without weapons and skills.  In less than two minutes, you will understand!"

Bing Cha nodded, so we took off our weapons and began comparing notes with our hands.

Three seconds later, Bing Cha's name had turned red and I charged over.

"Peng!"

A fist hit Bing Cha's shoulder and dealt around 100 damage.  I didn't stay still as I used Bing Cha's hair to move behind her.  I turned around with a swift move to go in a curve around Bing Cha and turned again when the cooldown on my fist was done, closing up the perfect curve!

Like this, Bing Cha was dizzy from my turn and only attacked once while I attacked twice.  The two curves turned into an 8, which was the move that I used in the past!

Bing Cha was a bit speechless.  She bit her lip and started moving, but I didn't give her that many chances.  An archer moved quite quickly and in the blink of an eye, I was behind Bing Cha.  In an instant, I had formed a perfect S shape!

In less than a minute, Bing Cha had lost half her HP and I was only hit twice by her!

"Wu, wu, wu, wu, not fighting anymore!  Not fighting anymore!"

Bing Cha angrily stood there and said, "Bookworm is so shameless, this movement is too..too elegant"

Ling Xue blinked as she said, "What movement technique is this, it's so strange"

I said with a smile, "This is the legendary butterfly step.  The greatest experts Lin Fan and Murong Shan Shan liked to use this move.  It's moving around a target in an 8 shape and controlling your cooldowns to attack.  When you meet a noob, they will become dizzy after fighting you"

Ling Xue immediately said with a smile, "Then teach me!"

I said in a speechless voice, "Didn't you see my movements earlier?  There isn't anything to teach.  You just have to move back and forth around a target.  This technique is very good at dealing with warriors and mages, especially those mages with slow reactions.  If the direction is off, their spells won't hit at all."

Ling Xue said with a nod, "Un, before the King's Return competition, I will learn this butterfly step!"

I revealed a smile, "Ling Xue is this smart, it definitely won't be a problem!"

Ling Yue asked, "Zi Yue, did you see it clearly just now?"

Zi Yue said, "I didn't, but I recorded it, so I can just watch it a few more times"

Actually I knew that Zi Yue's skills were limited, so it was hard for her to become a top player and she could only do what she could do.

So everyone continued killing mobs.  Zi Yue started to learn the technique of kiting around a monster and although she was put in danger again and again, it was a good thing that Qin Yun could use Prepared Resurrection on her, so she didn't die.

After Ling Yue filled up on Ling Xue's bread, she would swallow a piece of bread after every three monsters to quickly recover her HP.  It was very quick and it saved her quite a few mana potions.

After around an hour, we quickly cleaned up all the Elite Skeletons in this wilderness and headed deeper.  We saw the mist gradually thicken before everyone received a system notification: The Dark Gate is gradually opening and there is a terrifying demon not far ahead!

My heart couldn't help skipping a beat as I looked at Ling Xue.  The boss had appeared!

As expected, in the dark fog, there was a strange shadow that came out.  Moreover, there was a terrifying sound that came with it, just like the sound of a ghost gnawing on corpses and their saliva was dripping down!

Ling Xue was nervous as she leaned towards me, "Did you see anything?"

I said in a deep voice, "I see it, it's a Gold Boss!"

A half rotten fish head was attached to the neck.  The boss had a beast body and a fish head which were all rotten.  It gave off a strong stench and its white eyes were staring at us.  There was a red glow that appeared on its claws, clearly showing that its attack power wasn't low!

[Dark Stroller] (Gold Grade Boss)

Level: 75

Attack: 850-970

Defense: 700

HP: 1200000

Additional skill: Lightning Chain

Description: A demon from hell.  It protects the Dark Gate on the Demon King's orders, and will kill all enemies that enter the Dark Gate.

"Wa!  It actually has 970 attack power!"

Seeing the stats that I sent in the chat, Zi Yue's mouth couldn't help dropping!

Ling Xue looked at me, "This, it seems like only our defenses will work"

I gave a nod.  At this time, the Dark Stroller had already come over and it brandished its red glowing claws!

I immediately went forward and my Roaring Flame Spear had a blue glow on it as I sent out the Ice Wind Thorn.  Most of the boss' body was covered in ice as it slowed down, but its sharp claw also slashed across the armour on my chest!

"1107!"

The four digit damage figure filled my chest with pain and Qin Yun quickly healed me.

But the most shocking thing was that the boss suddenly raised its hands and a blue electric current flew out.  Then with a roar, its hands came together to release a lightning skill!

"Kacha!"

The electricity flew out and jumped across all the members of our party!

I suddenly felt my body fill with a numbing pain.  As the first person to be hit, my HP dropped by 2479 points!

"Is this a joke?  It knocked my HP down to less than 500 in a second?"

I was stunned by this.  Qin Yun behind me only had half her HP left.  Qing Yun and Ling Yue as the two cloth armour players were the furthest away, but they only had a sliver of HP left after this attack.  It was clear that the situation with the other girls wouldn't be that good either!

I quickly took an HP pot and a white light came from above me as Qin Yun used an AoE healing spell.  This pulled me back up to over 1500 HP, bringing me out of danger for now!

Ling Xue was shocked, "Everyone be careful.  This Chain Lightning is too strong, Bookworm was almost burnt to a crisp!"

I was very speechless.  Ling Xue's raised sword fell down and after a Profound Ice Sword Energy, the boss was stunned and it stopped moving!

I didn't know its Chain Lightning cooldown, so I quickly came forward with a Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers.  I hit it three times, but it didn't take that much damage.  Its 700 defense was close to my 1300 attack power, so I only dealt around 1500 points of damage.

It seems like the legends were true.  The physical attacks of undead monsters had a 20% defense negation, otherwise this 970 attack power wouldn't be that terrifying!

Quiet Rain Fall's arrows couldn't penetrate its defenses at all.  She could only use the ice arrow to slow it down, which made her consider her own worth.

Bing Cha came forward to slash a few times.  When she was about to leave its range, she never thought that the boss would recover from its stunned state and send a claw at her.  She had less than a third of her HP left after stabilizing herself and her face turned pale in fright as she couldn't help saying, "Good fellow!  You guys come, I'll just watch"

I could only raise my spear to block the boss.  I went around it and pulled its attention behind it before taking two steps back.  The boss had been slowed down, so it wasn't much faster than me and it charged forward with an angry roar.

"Pa, pa!"

With the attack range of the spear, I used a Whirlwind Slash and a Shield Break Slash at the same time.  With two hits, there was a 1764 and 2456 damage figure that appeared above the boss' head respectively!  At the same time, Ling Yue had sent out a large scale ice arrow that had hit as much as 2189.  She really was worthy of being the number one mage with a Dark Gold Staff, this kind of powerful attack was not something that normal people could have.

When my third attack landed, the Dark Stroller raised its hands to release another Chain Lightning!

Ling Xue quickly said, "Little fool, stop him!"

I was already charging forward as I swept out with the Roaring Flame Spear.  However, before the 50% chance of cancelling spells appeared, the other side had already finished casting its Chain Lightning!

"Kacha!"

The first one hit was me again and my HP that had recovered to half instantly emptied!

Ling Xue's HP also dropped to a sliver.  She looked at me in shock.  It was clear that no one had expected a Gold Boss to have such a terrifying magic attack power.

Hearing the wind behind me, I turned around and with a step, I swept out with the Roaring Flame Spear!

This time, the heavens saved me.  Before the boss could swipe out with its claw, it had been hit by the Roaring Flame Spear and the lucky thing was that it had been petrified!

But the system's notification said that the petrification only lasted eight seconds.  It should be because of the large difference in levels that the effects weren't as good!

But this was long enough for Qin Yun to fill up our HP bars!

I took several steps back and raised the Roaring Flame Spear.  Roaring Flame Soaring Dragon!

"Hong!"

When the flame dragon appeared, it instantly swallowed the Dark Stroller!

The intermediate level Roaring Flame Soaring Dragon was much stronger, dealing 2894 damage instantly!

However, the main damage dealer was Ling Yue.  Her three ice arrows a second were just too terrifying, dealing around over 1000 damage a second to the boss!

Qin Yun raised her hand to use a curse spell on the boss.  Although the effects were very weak, it was still better than nothing.

Zi Yue could only watch from afar.  I couldn't help feeling emotional since if this girl had the blind skill, it would be much easier for us!

But even so, we still had the ability to kill this boss!  Who told us to have a high grade healer!

So with Qin Yun's high healing, everyone controlled the damage of the Chain Lightning as much as possible.  When the Dark Stroller emptied my HP bar with the Chain Lightning for the seventeenth time, Ling Yue finished it off with an ice arrow!

With an angry roar, the Dark Stroller's giant body fell down, dropping a bunch of gold coins and two pieces of equipment.
