MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter-Chapter 698 - : I Don’t Understand, I Just Dont Understand

Chapter 698: Chapter 698: I Don’t Understand, I Just Don’t Understand

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

Right then, they all had the same thought, is this guy even human? Dodging with a sidestep theoretically provides a tiny bit of invincibility time, but that’s on paper.

They had heard of dodging attacks with a sidestep, but never using invincibility frame mid-sidestep to block skills.

Many didn’t initially understand what exactly was going on, as Edward had suggested. Many secretly looked forward to ending this early and reviewing the recorded footage.

At the moment, however, they all watched Li Yao intently, eager to see how he would defeat this boss.

Their old saying goes, “an expert makes their mark at first go.” Even though people had initially doubted, and even mocked Li Yao, not a word of mockery was heard after this.

The saying “actions speak louder than words” fits perfectly here. No matter how hyped up someone might be, people wouldn’t be convinced until they see it for themselves.

...

Boom…

Li Yao let go of the bowstring, and, thump-thump-thump-thump…

Five arrows, spreading out in a fan-shaped pattern, slammed into the boss. The boss lost its balance and staggered one step back.

The move it was about to unleash paused for a moment, allowing Li Yao the chance to approach it even closer. The gap between Li Yao and the boss was now five or six yards.

The skill the boss was casting was called Magma Boil, involving an arm lift followed by a ground smash, causing magma to spray out from specific areas.

Among those still struggling to hold on, some decided to take a leap forward, only to be surprised as they didn’t sense any heat. Instead, they saw the boss step backward.

The players still standing appeared slightly embarrassed, but were even more frustrated.

However, seeing the damage exceeding a thousand, they were all dumbfounded.

That’s right, the damage from the central arrow exceeded a thousand, with the two arrows near the center inflicting seven or eight hundred damage. Even the two arrows on the outermost inflicted five or six hundred damage each.

Even the lowest damage from these arrows was over ten times their own. It was a sight that left them blinded in awe.

The spectators weren’t surprised by the high damage values, they had watched Li Yao’s health rapidly deplete as he entered the battlefield, clearly indicating that he had activated some special skill. They knew Li Yao was capable of inflicting high damages. Coupled with such a powerful and mysterious skill, it was within their understanding that he could inflict such heavy damage.

Only if they hadn’t retreated, and those stubborn players hadn’t been delivering less than a hundred damage to the boss, they might have sneered at Li Yao’s damage.

Li Yao, of course, paid no mind to these comments. He closed the distance to the boss once again as his Charged Arrow was ready.

But, he didn’t release the bowstring, allowing the boss to slam into the ground uninterrupted.

Li Yao sidestepped, barely avoiding the edge of the magma as he shifted to the other side of the boss.

Ah!

Following three screams, the players who had been disrupted by Li Yao’s rhythm ended up not being able to dodge the skill in time and were killed instantly.

So, apart from Li Yao, fewer than six players were left on the field.

Boom…

The moment Li Yao saw the boss raising its arm, he took note that the impact number on the boss’s leg changed to 6.5. This was exactly the opportunity Li Yao was waiting for.

The five arrows hit right in the joint of the boss’s leg, causing its massive body to crash to the ground.

Through trial and error, Li Yao knew that the number 1 represented his strength. With power augmentation, he could reach 700% of this value, meaning anything over 7.0 would exceed his ability to knock down the opponent.

The most he could do was push them back. His first arrow confirmed his theory, and with his second, Li Yao seized the fleeting opportunity.

“He broke the stance, that’s impossible.”

“No way, you can’t break a boss’s stance in multiplayer mode.”

Everyone was dumbstruck. This boss was so powerful, having slaughtered so many players. Yet, even an onslaught of attacks only managed to push it back a little.

This thing was seemingly unstoppable. However, Li Yao knocked it back with his first attack, and made it tumble to the ground with his second.

“It’s not a stance break, you can’t break a stance in multiplayer mode. This was a clean knockdown, either his attack power is too high, or there’s something wrong with the leg.”

Someone who figured it out quickly explained, but this didn’t fully address their confusion.

“So, the leg is the weak spot.”

A glimmer of hope sparked in the eyes of those still hanging in there. However, that didn’t matter at the moment, the boss was already down, and everyone began to violently attack its body.

Li Yao, however, remained calm, steadily equipping a Power-boosting bottle to his bow, which increased his damage.

Then, he shot explosive arrows into the boss’s head, being so close to the target. Using Power-boosting bottle was almost like burning money, costing one Gold Coin each.

Depending on the bow in use, less than a hundred arrows would deplete the quantity of this consumable item. Not to mention half the players, even Li Yao usually wouldn’t dare to use them.

However, the results were obvious – using the Power-boosting bottle doubled Li Yao’s damage, shocking everyone.

Roar…

The boss hastily got up, releasing a Shockwave in the process. Li Yao performed a backflip, gracefully avoiding its ripple effect.

The other three melee fighters weren’t as lucky as they were directly hit, rolling on the ground before scrambling to their feet.

“Everyone pay attention, aim at its right knee.”

After dodging the Shockwave, they saw Li Yao making no attempt to again knock the boss down, their anxiety mounting. If the boss didn’t fall, their attacks were practically worthless. Only when the boss was down would their output appear somewhat normal, albeit only three or four hundred in damage. But it was definitely better than being less than a hundred.

So, while the boss was repeatedly attacking Li Yao, they quickly maneuvered around to the rear of the boss.

Pitter-patter…

They all concentrated their attacks on the boss’s leg. The boss’s body twitched momentarily before returning to normal.

“What’s going on, let’s try again.”

“No good, it seems we can only knock it down after it uses a skill.” One person recalled that Li Yao had knocked down the boss right after it had executed a skill.

They dodged the Shockwave again and then fiercely attacked the knee.

But the boss still did not fall. Their faces turned grim, realizing it still wasn’t working.

The distant spectators were also stupefied. What was happening? Even their combined efforts weren’t enough.

While Li Yao continued to dodge and attack, although not rapidly, he methodically wore down the boss.

He was waiting for a chance, realizing that not every skill release would lead to the desired state.

Finally, after rolling to dodge a skill, Li Yao quickly drew back his bow and released an arrow. This time, it wasn’t a Charged Arrow. The target was not the boss’s kneecap but its waist.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the boss once again crashed to the ground. The spectacle of the boss flat on its back left everyone dumbstruck, their minds utterly thrown into chaos.

What on earth is going on? Why can the boss be knocked down by attacking its waist too?

People exchanged looks of confusion. Even Edward was baffled, completely clueless about what was happening.

They had all seen that it wasn’t a Charged Arrow. It was just a regular shot, the force should have been relatively weak.

Why then, had the boss fallen over?

Regardless of their bewilderment, Li Yao once again loaded a Power-boosting bottle. He positioned himself near the boss’s head, leveling powerful shots, one after another.

The few remaining players wore bitter smiles as they, too, pounced on the fallen boss to attack.
