Chapter 522: An Astonishing Archer

Physical contact is not allowed?

The two of them hesitated upon seeing the quest notification.

Messiah could still fly for the second level. It was even more insane for him to fly horizontally. When flying upwards, he still had to dodge from the falling items from the sky but most of the second level’s traps were on the ground. So long Messiah flew high enough, he could completely disregard the traps on the ground and fly pass easily, reducing the difficulty by more than half.

From the first level of the trial, the breakthrough point to pass the level perfectly was Messiah but now that physical contact was not possible, how could they do it?

Ling Longmeng looked at the obstacles in mid-air then looked at the traps on the ground, and lastly, looked at Messiah, then told Wang Yu: “If I use arrows to shoot at him, there won’t be physical contact right? Hehe…hahaha.”

“Shoot then, what’s there to laugh…” Wang Yu told Ling Longmeng with a straight face.

“Shoot, isn’t it funny…hahahaha” Ling Longmeng laughed until she could not catch her breath while Wang Yu was increasingly confused.

Messiah turned and spoke to the both of them: “So long as you guys attack me, it is counted as physical contact. Don’t think of useless ideas.”

“Erm…”

Ling Longmeng’s laughter halted and their little pun idea was also prematurely aborted.

“What is wrong with you? How shameless can you get? If you have the guts, let’s take it one-on-one!” Ling Longmeng discarded her weapons and pointed angrily at Messiah.

Messiah: “Yell at me and I will reduce my familiarity for you.”

“Mm…” Ling Longmeng was about to scold him in return but Wang Yu covered her mouth.

Urgh, his familiarity had already fallen by half, any further reductions and he will be disqualified.

“He is a cheater! How shameless!” Ling Longmeng angrily scolded.

“Wasn’t it you who said that ‘be face-conscious and you would have lost’? I believe that there must be some other ways to go about for this trial.” Wang Yu said as he rubbed his chin.

“How to deal with it? He is flying in the sky with so few obstacles while I am not an agile Archer. There is nothing I can help with.” Ling Longmeng said despondently.

Wang Yu suddenly thought of something and said: “Few obstacles… We can create obstacles for him.”

“But we cannot have physical contact with him nor attack him?” Ling Longmeng asked puzzledly.

“We don’t have to attack him.” Wang Yu snickered.

Ling Longmeng realised what Wang Yu meant and surprisingly said: “How unbelievable, a slow lad like you actually have so many witty ideas.”

“True that, I am not dumb to the extent of owning all attributes and intelligence.”

“Urgh! Rascal!”

“So, have you thought of a way?” Messiah glanced at the two of them, then said: “I am warning you, don’t even try to attack me.”

Ling Longmeng lifted her bow and shot, an arrow flew past right beside Messiah’s head.

Messiah’s face turned black and Ling Longmeng said: “I did not attack you. Why are you looking at me like that?”

“…” Messiah was speechless for a while and said: “Alright, begin the trial!”

Once she finished, the countdown began in front of the both of them.

This time, Messiah intentionally inched away to prevent Wang Yu from being too close to him.

3, 2, 1, the countdown ended.

Wang Yu took off immediately, Messiah lifted his arms and flew with the wind, floating closely behind…

Just then, Ling Longmeng lifted her bow and shot an arrow below Messiah. Messiah was stunned to a stop and his body was frozen in mid air.

“!!!” Messiah was speechless and could not speak, but his eyes were filled with hatred as though he was questioning Ling Longmeng: “You dare to attack me?”

Ling Longmeng smiled and pointed to the ground, and said: “I did not attack you, I was attacking the ground.”

Messiah was after all, a reputable BOSS. Hearing what Ling Longmeng said, he paused only for a while then the anger on his face evolved into a smile and gave Ling Longmeng a thumbs up.

This was Wang Yu’s tactic — no obstacles, so create obstacles.

Initially, Wang Yu’s best choice of teammate for this level was actually Spring Halo as a Dark Shaman was good for nothing other than annoying others.

If Spring Halo was there, no words had to be said, he just had to throw a [Dark Barrier] forward and it could hold Messiah back for five seconds, then throw a [Thorn Forest] for another 5 seconds, then another [Dark Barrier], then another…so long there was enough mana, they could control Messiah.

Anyway, Messiah only said they could not attack her but did not say that they could not use skills, it was his own fault he was affected by their skill targeted at the ground.

Although Ling Longmeng did not have target-type skills to control the crowd like Spring Halo, Wang Yu knew that Ling Longmeng had a skill called [Shadow Bind] arrow which could cause the target to stay still and silent. What made Wang Yu satisfied was this skill’s effects and that it was executed on the target’s shadow, not its physical body.

Our arrows shot to the ground could not be counted as physical contact right…

From Messiah’s attitude, it seemed like he had been convinced by Ling Longmeng. After escaping, Messiah was about to start chasing but Ling Longmeng once again, shot her [Shadow Bind] arrow at Messiah’s shadow.

Messiah did not panic and glanced at Ling Longmeng, looking very calm.

The [Shadow Bind] controlling effect was impressive but to a BOSS, it was not much. If Wang Yu was shot, he would freeze for two seconds but for Messiah, with the help of his job as an expert Archer and as a BOSS, one skill could only stop him for 0.8 seconds.

Being an Archer was not some high-MP job. Instead, as an Archer, it was key to increase agility in order to increase points as its MP growth was even more pathetic than its slow-growing HP…

So Messiah was very calm as a skill would control him for 0.8 seconds only, and crowd-control skills were the most mana-exhaustive so an Archer could at most execute less than 20 crowd-control skills.

Ten [Shadow Bind] were only eight seconds, the route was very long so why did it matter to give that Pugilist an eight-second head start? Although it will take some effort to win, it was still within control.

After eight seconds, Ling Longmeng made Messiah panic.

If it was a normal Archer, Messiah’s calculations were not wrong but he could not have known that the Archer in front of him was of pure exceeding intelligence…

In comparison to other Archers, Ling Longmeng’s MP value was shockingly way higher.

Ten skills, another ten skills and another ten skills…

Messiah was consecutively controlled for more than twenty seconds, and Ling Longmeng had no intention of stopping…

Messiah turned pale white.

After her last five skills, Ling Longmeng’s mana was empty and Wang Yu was less than a hundred metres away from the end point. By then, there was no way Messiah could have caught up with him.

Messiah stared at Ling Longmeng in shock, not knowing what to say.

A level-35 little Archer actually continuously sent 35 [Shadow Bind] arrows. This was even more astonishing than Wang Yu beating up Messiah.
