Chapter 944: Quest Completion

“How did you do that?” Esther could not hide her expression and asked while staring at Wang Yu.

Being a level 80 BOSS, Esther never imagined that she would be so impressed by someone who was not even at level 50.

[Shadow Sword] was one of Esther’s ultimate moves and she was not even confident that she herself could defend from it so well like how Wang Yu did.

Wang Yu smiled and replied, “It’s not too hard to do this. You are just too dependent on your skills.”

Though <<REBIRTH>> was a simulation system, a lot of settings about it were still constrained like other normal online games.

This game was no different from other normal games, especially for the skills. All the games including <<REBIRTH>> would have a lead-up and a stun time and every single player, including a BOSS, could not escape from this setting.

As someone who had an even higher level of understanding than the designer of this game, Wang Yu could combine his skills and normal attacks to achieve true perfect form of “attacking according to one’s desires at any time” in independent mode.

Players who had higher levels could also lower their lead time and stun time in independent mode for a skill. A good example would be small skills like the [Tornado Slash].

Instead, NPCs did not have innovative players with IQs and are just numbers. Even if it were an NPC like Esther, she would not grow without the presence of external interference like Wang Yu and would just continue throwing out skills like normal bosses.

City Lord Wylie only battled Wang Yu for a few rounds before his battling skills improved rapidly. From this, it could be seen that Esther’s comprehension level was lower than City Lord Wylie’s. Of course, Wylie’s quick growth could be also due to the fact was from the same job as Wang Yu.

Esther’s battling style was more towards the swift and agile type, but her double-handed swords were considered heavy weapons. Heavy weapons were focused more on giving more damage in a single blow, so there would be a huge lead-up movement. Wang Yu was used to observing, so whenever Esther’s shoulders move, he knew which direction she was going for. And for the same reason, Esther’s attacks were not as effective on or could not even hit Wang Yu.

“No wonder! I know what to do now!”

As an intelligent BOSS, Esther got it immediately. After hearing what Wang Yu said, she realised her weakness.

“Let’s have a second round!”

Esther clenched her sword handles and slashed it towards Wang Yu.

This time, Esther did not add on special skills onto her attack. Without the lead time from skills, her movements became faster and her rhythm of attacks became clearer. It was so much smoother compared to when she just threw out skills without thinking.

Even Esther felt that she stepped into a whole new world, a world that was not restricted by any skills.

If Wang Yu were to describe this, he would call it “being formless is the best form”.

Esther’s attributes were very much higher than Wang Yu. After Wang Yu’s tips, her fighting strength increased rapidly. Each slash was approached by Wang Yu at the speed of light.

Faced with Esther’s heavy attack, Wang Yu did not dare to receive it straight away and could only retreat backwards.

When Wang Yu almost fell off the roof from Esther’s attacks, he roared and a striking ray of thunder ray appeared from his body. The rays had bits of green in them.

After this, Wang Yu had an extra BUFF on his body.

[Wind Thunder Fury]: Player Iron Bull received blessings from the Power of Wind and Thunder. For 20 seconds, player strength and agility increase by 500%, players attacks come with paralysis.

[Wind Thunder Fury] was a skill that Wang Yu got from getting the rewards crest for completing the Qing Gong Mission.

This was the first time Wang Yu used it, so he did not know that the effects would be so great. His agility and strength increased by 5 times, and even though the effect only lasted for 20 seconds, it was enough for Wang Yu to get out of his current situation.

Esther was in her moment and did not realise the changes. After seeing that Wang Yu was falling off the roof, she dashed forward immediately to stab Wang Yu.

After receiving the power up from [Wind Thunder Fury], his abilities became quite close to Esther’s.

In terms of skill, Wang Yu could already combine normal attacks and skill attacks with ease and Esther as a beginner could not match up to that.

Facing Esther’s long sword, Wang Yu raised his left arm ad quickly drew his sword and slashed it on Esther’s wrist first.

“Ssss!’

The tip of Wang Yu’s sword produced a ray of thunder lights and Esther got paralysed for a moment. Wang Yu took this chance to get behind Esther.

When Esther got back to her senses, she turned back and sliced horizontally. Wang Yu lightly jumped and pointed his tip at the same spot on Esther’s wrist.

Esther raised her sword while Wang Yu attacked side ways first, slashing Esther at the same wrist.

Just like that, within ten seconds, Esther got slashed more than ten times while Wang Yu dodged every single attack from calmly calmly and attacked first.

Wang Yu aimed his swords at the same position on Esther’s wrist and every attack was precise and accurate.

The longer they fight, the more fearful Esther felt towards Wang Yu’s realm of martial arts and sword fighting skills.

Wang Yu continued with his aggressiveness and attempted to push Esther down the roof.

[Wind Thunder Fury] still has three seconds of its effect left and Esther was forced into the edge by Wang Yu. At this time, Esther stopped attacking.

“I lost!” Esther kept her longsword and said.

At the same moment, Wang Yu received a system notification.

<System Notification: You completed hidden quest “Pointers 1 2”, Quest Goal: Defeat leader of the Knight Esther, Arthur 1/1.>

Quest Reward: Soul of the Gods*1

To not overdo anything was a warrior’s value to go by. Since Esther had already admitted her defeat, Wang Yu withdrew his attack.

After seeing this scene, Esther bowed to Wang Yu and said, “You are an outstanding warrior. In your realm, I saw humility and justice and I believe that you are not an evil person.”

“There’s nothing much.” Wang Yu blushed and was impressed that Esther had such a silver tongue. Wang Yu did not even feel that he had “Humility” and “Justice”.

“Are you willing to be my teacher and let me follow you?” Esther asked.

<System Notification: Knight Esther, Arthur is willing to follow you. Do you accept?>

“This…” Wang Yu was stunned and asked, “Aren’t you a Round Table Knight? How could you follow me?”

Esther took out the sealed Soul of the Gods and passed it to Wang Yu and said, “I have lost the Soul of the Gods, so before I manage to get it back again, I will follow you to train myself.”

Wang Yu took over the Soul of the Gods and smiled, “I will gladly accept this, but let’s not make me your teacher. I don’t mind being friends though.”

After that, Wang Yu sent a friend request.
