MMORPG: Martial Gamer

A Guardian’s physical defense was ranked second among all the jobs in the game. It was only behind ranked number one: Templar.

However, a Guardian had specialised shield skills and was proficient in their skills. From a tank’s perspective, a Guardian was entirely worthy of being number one.

Moreover, a Guardian had an absolute advantage when coming up against an Archer.

After level 20, Sharpshooter would learn [Pierce] which made them capable of penetrating any armour regardless of how thick it was. However, shields were considered weapons and not armour so it was able to block off Archers’ arrows completely.

An impressive shield like Crotch Lord’s Shield of God would be capable of defending two waves of arrows from top Archers without any pressure.

While the shield in Dark Moon Soul’s hand was evidently not as good as Crotch Lord’s one, it was still a peak grade shield. It was definitely more than enough to deal with Yang Nuo’s arrows.

As for Yang Nuo’s close-combat abilities, a Guardian was still a Guardian. It just didn’t make sense for a Guardian to fear an Archer in close combat.

Therefore, the players from Dark Moon Squad immediately had their spirits lifted when they saw that Dark Moon Soul was the next one up.

How long can that lady on stage remain arrogant for? She is doomed this time.

Dark Moon Soul was even more confident than any of his compatriots. He was determined to win back some pride for himself and his team.

However, this Dark Moon Soul was a talkative fella with nothing good to say. Regardless of who he was up against, he had to provoke them before anything else. He had not learnt his lesson after being humiliated by Evil Rampage so after seeing Yang Nuo, his old habits kicked in again.

The moment the match started, Dark Moon Soul smiled and hooked his finger towards himself, “Hey sister! I don’t think I can bear hitting you since you look so pretty. Why don’t I let you hit me once for free?”

Yang Nuo sized Dark Moon Soul up before replying, “Aren’t you the humiliated one from the previous round?”

After spending so much time with the Quan Zhen Sect, Yang Nuo had learnt a few of such verbal skills.

“F*ck!” When Yang Nuo hurt him where it hurts the most, Dark Moon Soul was instantly unhappy. He pointed at Yang Nuo and said, “Miss, you are not cute at all!”

“Tsk!”

Yang Nuo grunted coldly, “Quit the nonsense! Why don’t I let you attack first?”

“For real?” Dark Moon Soul was delighted, “Then I shall not stand on any ceremony.”

After saying that, Dark Moon Soul raised his shield, lowered his head and charged towards Yang Nuo.

“Haha!”

Just when Dark Moon Soul was about to hit her, Yang Nuo snickered and used [Sidestep]. She appeared behind Dark Moon Soul and casually lifted her leg to stomp on the back of Dark Moon Soul’s knee.

Dark Moon Soul lost his balance as he fell forward in an embarrassing manner. At the same time, Yang Nuo executed [Shock Shot] towards the back of Dark Moon Soul’s head.

“Weng…”

[Shock Shot]’s tremendous force landed on the back of Dark Moon Soul’s head as the already unstable Dark Moon Soul fell flat on the ground. Simultaneously, a stun effect resulted from it.

Without any hesitation, Yang Nuo surged forward and stepped on Dark Moon Soul’s back. She raised her bow to pin Dark Moon Soul’s head down before charging her energy.

“Boom!”

A loud explosion was heard.

[Profound. Pear Flower Rainstorm]!!

Arrows with white radiances were shot towards the back of Dark Moon Soul’s head.

The pitiful Dark Moon Soul suffered an awakening skill as his health decreased by more than half.

It was still acceptable if he was pinned on the ground by a burly chap but that was not the case. In fact, he was pinned down in a humiliating manner by a lady. Dark Moon Soul was still someone who cherished his pride.

“He!”

An infuriated Dark Moon Soul shouted as he flipped and got back on his feet.

Evil Rampage was a Pugilist who had the [Grappling] skill. Therefore, it wasn’t hard for him to pin a Guardian to the ground. However, Yang Nuo was an Archer with no strong judgement skill. Her normal attacks would never be a match for Dark Moon Soul.

Dark Moon Soul got back on his feet and wanted to cut Yang Nuo into two almost immediately.

Concurrently, Yang Nuo also did a beautiful backflip and landed without any damage done to her.

“Oh god!”

After getting up, Dark Moon Soul immediately used [Taunt] on Yang Nuo and she was drawn towards him.

At the crucial moment, Dark Moon Soul raised his shield and was about to smash Yang Nuo’s head with it.

Yang Nuo jumped to the side to dodge Dark Moon Soul’s [Shield Bash] before pressing her hand against the side of Dark Moon Soul’s shield.

At this point, Dark Moon Soul also retracted his shield subconsciously. Yang Nuo made use of the momentum to jump to the back of Dark Moon Soul. She raised her bow and released an arrow towards the back of Dark Moon Soul’s head again.

Dark Moon Soul was shocked as he quickly turned around.

However, a Guardian was known for being clumsy.

The moment Dark Moon Soul lifted his leg, Yang Nuo already knew that he was going to turn around. Hence, she lifted both her legs together with Dark Moon Soul.

By the time the clumsy Dark Moon Soul turned around, an agile Archer like Yang Nuo had already appeared behind him like his shadow.

“???”

Dark Moon Soul was astonished when he saw that no one was behind him.

“Duang!”

Right at this point, Yang Nuo fired yet another arrow at Dark Moon Soul’s head.

“F*ck!”

Dark Moon Soul finally realised that he had been ghosted by Yang Nuo so he drew his sword with his left hand and swung towards the back.

However, it didn’t take too much effort for Yang Nuo to avoid and dodge the swing of the sword. Just like that, Dark Moon Soul struck nothing again.

“Duang!” Yang Nuo raised her bow again and shot towards the back of his head once more.

…

Just like that, Yang Nuo made full use of her superiority in terms of agility and movement speed. By constantly attacking Dark Moon Soul from the back, it didn’t matter how Dark Moon Soul jumped about. Yang Nuo was like a shadow which Dark Moon Soul was unable to shake off.

Of course, Yang Nuo’s bow and arrows were not there for show. While Dark Moon Soul couldn’t hit her, she was constantly depleting his health with her arrows.

Team A Murder Of Crows attained victory in this match and drew level in this second round.

One took down four!

Yang Nuo took down four players without suffering any damage. At the sight of this, everyone in the crowd chanted loudly, “One takes down five! One takes down five…”

“F*ck!!!”

The Dark Moon Squad instantly felt the immense pressure from the crowd and Yang Nuo herself.

They had never experienced or seen anyone as impressive as this lady in terms of handling pressure.

Tranquility Yields Transcendence was enjoying this as he poked Thunderlord Block, “Little Thunder, what do you think? That Guardian isn’t too bad himself, right?”

“Tsk!” Thunderlord Block intentionally avoided Tranquility Yields Transcendence’s gaze as he said, “I’m not talking to you.”
