Chapter 1581 - A Drink Or Two?

Chapter 1581: A Drink Or Two?

It was apparent that, as the top-tier BOSS, Luke wasn’t so easily defeated.

Especially Dark Luke; he wasn’t just a tad or two stronger than Light Luke.

After he transformed into his close-combat form, Luke’s speed and power increased more than a single level.

Previously, when they faced against Light Luke, Wang Yu could still handle him using speed. However, Wang Yu’s speed was no longer enough to fight against Dark Luke.

Within the gaming universe, there was an unspoken rule. One should fight a ranged BOSS with close-ranged attacks. That would control the damage output and prevent the BOSS from escaping.

As for close-ranged BOSSES, players should use long-ranged attacks. While they conserved their abilities, they could deal as much damage as they liked.

Even though Wang Yu was a gaming noob, after playing the game for such a long time, he understood the gist of the fundamental rules.

Knowing that it wouldn’t be a good bargain to fight Dark Luke close-ranged, Wang Yu stabilized himself after backing away from Dark Luke. He pulled out a firearm from his holster as he pointed it at Luke’s head and pulled the trigger.

“Boom!”

A loud noise resounded as a bundle of smoke spurted from the firearm. Then, a small red bullet launched toward Luke.

In <<REBIRTH>>, even though guns were also long-ranged weapons, bullets were much faster than arrows.

In the same moment gunfire rang out, the bullet reached Luke’s face.

Even though Luke was fast, he couldn’t react in time. It was far too late for him to dodge.

Of course, Luke didn’t have any intention of dodging. He revealed a smirk, allowing the bullet to lodge into his forehead.

“Dang!”

A loud noise resounded as several stars appeared above Luke’s head. However, the HP bar above his head didn’t budge.

When Wang Yu exchanged blows with Luke, he knew that Luke’s natural state was [Invulnerable].

That was why Wang Yu wasn’t shocked at all. Instead, the bullet that hit Luke’s head reflected itself.

“F*ck!!!”

Wang Yu’s reflexes were much faster than Luke’s. He turned hurriedly as the bullet grazed Wang Yu’s cheek.

At the same time, Wang Yu broke out into cold sweat.

Damn it, this Dark Luke was much harder to deal with than before.

He was programmed with his [Invulnerable] state; now, he even reflected long-ranged attacks. Did he have any shame at all?

Wasn’t he forcing Wang Yu to fight a close-ranged battle against him?

Light Luke’s close-ranged abilities were normal. His attributes were utterly ineffective against Wang Yu. When Wang Yu fought him, it wasn’t a challenge at all. However, Dark Luke’s attributes were a level above Wang Yu’s.

There was a saying that one dominant characteristic was enough to go against a dozen bouts. No matter how skilled Wang Yu was, in the face of these attributes, going against Luke with close combat was a little challenging.

That was right; he lacked just one step.

From the exchange just now, it was apparent that even though Dark Luke was powerful, he could barely suppress Wang Yu. If Wang Yu increased his level by two or three and raised his attributes a little, he was confident of fighting Luke in close combat.

It wasn’t as if Wang Yu couldn’t temporarily increase his attributes. He could use [Inner Breath Roll], [Thunder Wave], [Raging Flames Walk], or [Descending Dragon Palm] to increase his abilities for a short amount of time.

However, Wang Yu couldn’t use a single ability now.

He already knew that Luke’s normal state was [Invulnerable] and required a [275 Combo] before he could break his defences.

Performing a [275 Combo] wasn’t a small number. With Wang Yu’s current attack speed, he needed several minutes before he could hit such a high combo count.

Furthermore, these four skills had extremely long cooldown. In contrast, their active time was short. If Wang Yu used the four skills consecutively, he could only raise his attributes for a minute.

The best power was used with the blade. A great power-up like that had to be used at appropriate times. Knowing that Luke was [Invulnerable], using these four powerful states would be a complete waste. Anyone who considered that was probably insane.

However, if he didn’t use them, Wang Yu’s current attributes wouldn’t be a match for Luke.

Since that was the case, even the reckless Wang Yu had no choice but to hesitate.

Just as Wang Yu thought about what to do, Dark Luke swung his spear and charged at him again.

He had no choice. Since Dark Luke’s momentum was strong, Wang Yu dared not dispel it. He could only use Qing Gong against Luke.

Wang Yu’s Qing Gong had its limits. In the face of an enemy, his Qing Gong bar continued to fall quickly. At this rate, he wouldn’t last for a long time.

Even if he wanted to run away, there was no way he could do that. Wang Yu was inside the temple. That was Luke’s territory, and the doors were shut. Where could Wang Yu run?

His Qing Gong bar continued to fall as Luke’s powers continued to grow more powerful.

Wang Yu’s heart tightened.

Wang Yu fought many BOSSES in the past. There were many God-grade BOSSES he encountered as well. However, this was the first time he felt so frustrated.

It wasn’t as if Wang Yu had never lost in the past. However, each time he lost, it was because of the opponents’ overwhelming attributes.

However, Luke was just strong enough to suppress him. If he could level up by three levels, he would have a chance. However, if he died to Luke here, Wang Yu would feel bitter.

If only he still had some Adrenaline Pills left.

Huh? Adrenaline Pill?

When he thought about this, Wang Yu’s eyes lit up with joy.

“Weak human, die!”

At the same time, Luke’s spear came flying.

Seeing how it was about to pierce Wang Yu, he yelled, “Wait a minute!”

“???”

As the God of Light, the contender for Heaven and Earth, Luke was reasonable. When he heard Wang Yu’s shout, he held his spear back, stopping it right before Wang Yu.

“What do you want? Have you decided to give up your body? As long as you can merge with the Holy Light Spirit, I’ll give you a chance.”

It was clear that even though Luke turned Dark, he still hoped for a chance at reincarnation.

“No no no!”

Wang Yu smiled as he waved his hands, “Do you want to have a drink or two?”

With that, Wang Yu pulled out two bottles of wine as he handed one to Luke.

“Hmph!” Luke licked his lips. He took the wine in Wang Yu’s hands as he said, “Don’t think that I’ll forgive you just because you’re offering me a drink…”

As he said this, Luke pulled the stopper open as he chugged the entire bottle in one go. Then, he wiped his mouth, decadently, “Do you have more?”

“Yeah!” Wang Yu handed over a few more bottles.

Then, just like what Luke had done, he pulled open the stopper as he chugged his bottle.

Soon after, Wang Yu’s cheeks turned bright red.

“Burppp!”

Wang Yu hiccupped as he began, “Now that we’ve had our drinks, let’s have a second round.”
