After blowing Vainglory away, a fist-sized fireball was formed on Regis’ palm as he threw it towards Spring Halo.
“Brother Spring, watch out!”
Just when Spring Halo was about to be hit by the fireball, Wang Yu took one step forward, used [Flash] and pulled Spring Halo to the side by the sleeves. He barely avoided Regis’ fireball.
“Boom!” A loud explosion was heard and a huge dent in the wall could be seen from where Spring Halo was previously standing.
“Phew…” After witnessing the tremendous power of the fireball, everyone took in one deep breath of cold air.
To be honest, Regis was considered merciful as he was careful not to overdo it when dealing with everyone else. He placed important emphasis on the control of his skills. Spring Halo was the only he chose to attack.
“F*ck! Regis’ hatred for the Grand Cathedral is really deep.” Spring Halo broke out in cold sweat after being so badly frightened. If it wasn’t for Wang Yu’s very last-minute intervention, he would have been dead there and then.
At this moment, Regis didn’t look too good. It seemed like the use of the previous fireball exhausted quite a fair amount of energy. He was clearly taken aback when he saw that his fireball missed his target.
But there was a reason why Regis was a true master. While he was shocked, his hands didn’t stop moving. With a wave of his hands, icicles and wind blades were sent towards Wang Yu and Spring Halo.
After tossing Spring Halo to the side, Wang Yu welcomed Regis’ magic skills as he charged towards him.
Skills like icicles and wind blades were not fast at all, even at the hands of Regis. Wang Yu shifted left and right to dodge the skills, took a few steps forward before using [Crushing Blow].
Regis was surprised as mud walls appeared on both his hands to block Wang Yu’s [Crushing Blow]. Following which, Regis floated backwards like a light feather.
The moment Regis landed, Frost Blade and Darknorth Fisher charged forward. Two daggers were violently stabbed on Regis’ back.
“Boom!”
Regis, who was stabbed, exploded which sent Darknorth Fisher and Frost Blade flying. At the same time, Regis’ real body gradually descended from above.
“This guy…”
Everyone in Quan Zhen Sect was dumbfounded by what they saw. Ten against one but in just one exchange of blows, Regis broke their formation, and everything was in disorder. Even Wang Yu was not capable of taking the slightest of advantage… This old fella is too strong.
“How about we retreat first? I do think that God’s army is much easier to deal with as compared to him,” Ming Du suggested.
“Old Li is right! If this old man wants to kill any of us, none of us will be able to escape. Why don’t we leave while we can?” Spring Halo added. At this moment, Spring Halo was badly frightened by the Regis’ hatred towards him. At the thought of the previous fireball, Spring Halo was still trembling.
Regis is an expert in all elements of magic and is also well-experienced in battles. This was rarely seen.
One must know that the magic skills Regis released previously were all low-level magic skills. Even though they were low-level magic skills, the effect was drastically different since Regis was the one executing it. A simple raise of the hand was enough to release tremendous power and every magic skill did not waste a single MP. As compared to this crafty Regis, those brainless monsters from the God’s army were nothing at all.
And this was his weakened state. If Regis was at his peak stage, everyone wouldn’t even be able to survive half a round. Now that Ming Du and Spring Halo suggested it, everyone couldn’t control the thought of retreating.
Just when everyone was thinking of retreating, Wang Yu suddenly mentioned, “No, it is not that Regis didn’t want to kill us. It is because he can’t!”
“Ah? Why do you say so?” everyone asked out of confusion.
“An expert’s intuition!” Wang Yu replied.
“What!” Everyone replied, “Why don’t we have any intuition then?”
Wang Yu responded, “Because you’re still far from being an expert!”
Everyone kept quiet.
Wang Yu followed up by saying, “I am certain that Regis had used up all his strength, but I do not know how to put it in words.”
“…”
Everyone remained silent.
“Brother Bull, it is hard for us to accept what you say. You should at least give us a reason, right?” Spring Halo refuted.
An expert’s intuition. Concluding that an opponent has used up his strength based entirely on feelings. In the real world, this might be believable but, in a game, it was really hard to convince someone with such an explanation.
When Wang Yu saw that everyone was doubting him, he scratched his head and said, “We are clearly the ones that attacked first but his attacks couldn’t kill us.”
“This…” When Wang Yu explained it this way, everyone else suddenly understood a little.
In <<REBIRTH>>, there were no high-end NPCs that were easy to deal with. While they would not commit any imaginable misdeed, they were not exactly kind and generous too.
Regardless of where they were, the moment a player attacked an NPC, it would result in the NPC’s violent retaliation. Currently, Quan Zhen Sect’s players acted first but Regis was still careful not to overdo his attacks. This was where it was slightly unconvincing. Could it be that Regis is kind by nature? Forget it… This was even less convincing than the ‘expert’s intuition’…
Therefore, there was only one possibility now. It wasn’t because Regis didn’t want to kill them but because he was so weak to the extent that he couldn’t kill them. Otherwise, an NPC of his level wouldn’t even sweat just to kill a few players like them.
The most suspicious part was that after Regis flew out, he didn’t continue attacking everyone. All he did was to stand where he was and shut his eyes. He was clearly trying to recover his strength and magic…
“F*ck! Everyone, hurry and attack! Do not let him recover!” At the thought of this, everyone started surrounding Regis.
When Regis noticed the movement of the Quan Zhen Sect, he suddenly opened his eyes. Fireballs and icicles started forming on his palms as he threw them at the Quan Zhen Sect.
A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. As a peak grade NPC, even if Regis’ current strength was 1% of his peak strength, his MP was still several folds more than ordinary players.
Fireballs and Icicles were the lowest tier magic skills so everyone would merely exhaust 10-20 MP. Such an exhaustion rate was still something Regis could handle.
Moreover, Regis’ range of attacks was extremely far. Even Yang Nuo and Ling Longmeng’s range was not comparable to his range. Under the cover of the magic, everyone could not afford to approach him. All they could do was to hide behind shelves or pillars where the magic attacks couldn’t reach.
After the Quan Zhen Sect withdrew, Regis slowed down his attacks as he started meditating again.
“F*ck! He is meditating again.” Ming Du cried out as he saw Regis closing his eyes again.
Meditation was the best way to recover a Magician’s power. If they allowed Regis to meditate in that manner, it wouldn’t take long before he could recover his power.
Based on this old man’s ability, even if he could recover one-tenth of his power, he wouldn’t be an NPC the current players could deal with, let alone full power.
“F*ck! But we cannot match his rate of exhaustion. So should we fight or not?” Boson asked.
Now was not the time to hesitate so they had to make a firm decision whether to fight or not.
Wang Yu replied, “Fight. Why should we not fight?”
“How do we fight now?”
“You guys try to restrain him and I will take care of him,” Wang Yu answered.
