In the quest settings of <<REBIRTH>>, defeating the BOSS might not directly mean that the quest is completed. Sometimes, when the BOSS is defeated but the quest items were stolen, the quest would be counted as a failure.
Since Doak’s appearance, he had been seeking for the King of Beast Dijun’s head. Hence, if Doak manages to keep the King of Beast Dijun’s head, this mission would not be able to be completed.
The Resurrection Totem had more than a minute left. With it around, no matter how capable Fearless and the rest were, they would not be able to surpass the Dusk Magical Ape’s defence of unlimited resurrection. Doak’s advancing speed was not fast but was not slow too. He definitely could pick the head up before the Resurrection Totem’s effect ended.
“Damn it, Doak is coming. He must be here to snatch it!” Quan Zhen Sect also realised it as they saw how Doak disregarded everything else and headed towards them.
If he continued fighting with Wang Yu, even if he changed his state, he might not be able to defeat him. However, if Doak was just after the head, it might go both ways. The system’s setting is really despicable.
“Control him!” At the thought of this, everyone in Quan Zhen Sect sent control skills towards Doak in attempt to delay him. However, regardless of whether it was Spring Halo’s [Dark Barrier] or Ling Longmeng’s [Shadow Bind Arrow], whatever skills that hit Doak did not have any effect on him at all.
“F*ck, he has a Super Armour!”
Seeing what happened, everyone was shocked. Damn it, it was fine that grappling skills did not work on him but even direct control skills like [Dark Barrier] did not work on him. The Super Armour indeed lived up to its legendary reputation.
Seeing how Doak came closer and closer, Crotch Lord and Boson lowered their heads and charged towards Doak to crash into him. Seeing how the two of them were charging towards him, Doak waved the sword in his hand, executed a swing and the crescent-shaped sword accurately sliced through Crotch Lord and Boson’s heads.
The two of them were sliced by the sword and their HP fell to null, living them dead. Doak flipped the sword upwards and the both of them turned into white light.
“What? This guy knows how to attack those who infringed his aggro boundaries.” Wang Yu was stunned.
Just then, Frost Blade and Darknorth Fisher’s shadows appeared behind Doak, and stabbed two daggers into Doak’s waist from the back.
Doak used his two hands to grab his sword, turned around, and activated his [Tornado Slash].
Darknorth Fisher’s reaction skills were good so when Doak lifted his arms, he quickly ran back and escaped the [Tornado Slash] then rolled into a ball, escaping with no trace in a blink of an eye. Luckily Doak did not keep track of aggro or else, with that stab, Darknorth Fisher would not be able to escape.
Frost Blade was not so lucky. He was not even able to use his [Vanish] and was slashed in the waist by Doak’s sword.
Assassins were slightly weaker than Pugilists. Even Crotch Lord could not live after being slashed, Frost Blade definitely could not. Frost Blade died instantly on the spot and turned into white light.
Seeing how Doak killed three people in a row, Quan Zhen Sect was shocked. They saw how Wang Yu tortured Doak a while ago and thought Doak was pretty mediocre. Now that they fought with Doak, they finally understood how capable a person Wang Yu was fighting with just now.
Initially, Vainglory who was following behind wanted to seize the opportunity to execute a [Shadows Chain Kick] then quickly escape. However, after seeing what happened, he turned and activated [Crushing Blow] then ran all the way back.
In just a while, all of Quan Zhen Sect’s short distance fighters were down. Even Fearless also had a rare hopeless expression on his face.
After being with Wang Yu for so long, Quan Zhen Sect was no longer petrified when they saw a BOSS. Even for a normal silver-grade ancient BOSS, they had to go all out and even lose their lives. They definitely had to give up more for a high-level obsidian ancient BOSS.
With such a level, current players could not come in contact with it as no matter how capable and smart they were, faced with such extreme abilities, they had no way to deal with it.
Just as everyone did not know what to do, suddenly Wang Yu yelled, “Don’t control him, attack him.””Attack him? Can we?” Ming Du asked after hearing what Wang Yu said.
After playing the game for so long, everyone knew that BOSS of elite level and above had two types of aggro. One was when the BOSS was in an unstable state and another was when it is in a targeted state.
When the BOSS was in an unstable state, once it was attacked, they would attack all targets within its aggro boundaries.
However, in a targeted state, the BOSS would regardlessly attack a specific target.
The first state was the most challenging one for players.
Hence, when Wang Yu was fighting one-on-one with Doak, the rest did not dare to enter it without careful thought, in fear that the BOSS was in an unstable aggro state which would mess up Wang Yu’s tempo.
Although at this time, Doak’s aggro changed, his aggro was targeted at the King of Beast Dijun’s head. If Doak targeted someone, they could take Doak on a wild goose chase all over the place but the King of Beast Dijun’s head was a dead item… Unless they killed Doak before he reached the head, otherwise, there was no other way.
By then, Doak still had 30% of his HP left but he was less than 20 metres away from the King of Beast Dijun’s head. Under such circumstances, it was impossible to kill Doak before he picked up the head.
Furthermore, with such a short distance, once Doak released mass attacks, based on his speed and attack strength, everyone would not be able to escape.
Of course, if they could reduce his speed or made him stand on the spot, everyone would have enough time and space to attack. However, under his Super Armour state, control and grappling skills had no effect on him, and so, it was difficult to hold him back.
“Don’t worry, I can stop him!”
As Wang Yu spoke, he caught up with them.
Doak felt someone attacking him from behind and turned around while waving his sword. Wang Yu escaped Doak’s attack and he took a step forward, turned around, and stuck onto Doak’s back, then he yelled at Fearless and the rest, “Attack!”
“What… Are you seeking death?”
Seeing how Wang Yu was back-to-back with the BOSS, Ling Longmeng’s voice trembled as Frost Blade was slashed to death on Doak’s back.
However, what came next made Ling Longmeng finally understand what Fearless said a while ago.
Wang Yu did not attack Doak while sticking his back onto Doak’s but instead, stood right up. When Doak turned around instinctively to kill, Wang Yu’s back was stuck to his and hence, did not have to predict his direction. Wang Yu’s legs were stuck to Doak’s and all he had to do was follow Doak when he turned around.
Doak turned around and Wang Yu followed, turning to the other side, causing Doak to attack nothing.
“Wow, he is indeed our Old Bull.” Seeing what Wang Yu did, Fearless was surprised.
BOSS of elite level and higher were very intelligent and so, would not allow players to control them. Hence, when they released skills, they would find a target and attack accurately.
When the players were at the BOSS’ blind spot, if they did not attack the BOSS, the BOSS would not execute skills and so, the players’ difficulty level will increase significantly.
This was the toughest attribute of an intelligent BOSS and yet, Wang Yu was able to dig in this loophole.
