Facing the C-level Reaper Queen, Gao Gong determined his combat style from the start.
Donât be greedy with strikes, only use combos.
He aimed to out-maneuver and relentlessly attack until the opponent was dead.
In fact, the âRainy Night Knife Killing Modeâ was precisely this style of combat mode.
The âNight Warriorâ would continuously stack damage, accumulating for a burst later on.
It looked dangerous but was actually steady as an old dog.
If only NPCs came with built-in cameras, it would make for a surefire high-end game on the forums.
He would receive a series of comments like âBoss 666â, âDad, please take me, Iâll supportâ, âMom and I knelt down to watch the videoâ.
Rainy night, curtain falls.
The âSpecial Effects Generatorâ was already focusing on quantity over quality.
Amid the lightning and thunder, pouring rain turned into data streams, one âGao Gongâ after another emerged, encircling the Reaper Queen.
One, two, three, four, on the ground, on the building, even suspended in mid-air.
Most of them were obviously fakes at a glance, with pixelated faces or pixelated groins.
In the gameâs terms, the high model turned into a sea.
However, the Reaper Queen hesitated, with a hint of fear flickering in its eyes.
In the brief ten-minute exchange earlier, it confirmed the opponentâs position at least ten times.
But not once did it get it right.
The furious sound of rain, the hallucinatory electronic music, combined with a true form that appeared and vanished mysteriously, and an unpredictable combat style.
This time, it was indeed a bit panicked.
When the number of high models, no, Gao Gongs, reached around 500, they finally stopped splitting.
Every one of them simultaneously twisted their necks, gripping the now pockmarked red blades.
All the âGao Gongsâ had rainwater covering their faces.
Raindrops hit the bladeâs surface, some bouncing off, some passing through.
"Old Wang will only pity you; only I pity your husband. Watch as my neighbor Gao avenges your husband."
In the next moment, the roar of the motor exploded, like a super engine dispersed across multiple nodes.
The Reaper Queen, barely hesitating, unleashed a wide-area energy surge and the âRadiation Stormâ used by the Reaper Leader simultaneously, equaling two ultimates released simultaneously.
The Mental Storm surged like waves crashing, sending the front âGao Gongsâ flying like paper figurines, some disintegrating into snowflake-like light points on the spot.
However, in the next moment, more Gao Gongs swarmed in from the back.
At this point, it didnât matter if the graphics card burned or not; anyway, when he returns, Gao Gong would have to completely overhaul his equipment.
If you canât even get the slashing sound right, how can you do the special effects?
Compared to the Reaper Commander, the Reaper Queenâs Radiation Storm has a smaller range and is more controllable.
Like three thick high-pressure energy whips covering a hundred meters, repeatedly lashing back and forth, wiping out the fake âGao Gongsâ.
One giant tree after another was pulled downâclearing battle obstacles deliberately.
The opponent may have untamed beastly instincts, but the Reaper Queenâs combat wisdom was not lacking.
If Gao Gong did nothing or planned to wait for the other side to finish its ultimates before harvesting,
This guy would definitely run away first like last time.
Defeating the opponent at its strongest state, this is the true essence of hunting Radiation Beasts.
The dim rain looked like a black night, all the âGao Gongsâ swarmed madly, charging from all directions.
The Reaper Queen, in a moment of clear mental alertness, felt that strange, elusive sense of danger return.
Its six blade limbs extended once more, about to unleash the âSix-Wheel Slashâ again.
Yet this time, among the dozen red blades slashing from various angles, an unassuming blade light, like a viper, precisely caught the joint of one limb.
Just like a fast-spinning propeller being jammed by a small stone, the remaining five blade limbs were thrown off rhythm, turning from a Blade Storm into a chaotic slash.
A certain Gao Gong suddenly looked up, a fierce gleam flashing in his eyes.
He charged into the circle of blades.
The combat power stacked by âDrinking Frenzyâ wasnât born out of nowhere; with each bloodthirsty chain attack on the enemy, the killing desire within him boiled even more, enhancing his bladeâs force, the angle of his attacks, and the variation of his maneuvers.
Like a cold-blooded assassin igniting his instincts.
Each move aimed straight at the vital points; the opponent was no longer a life but a candle about to go out, extinguishing in this dark night.
[Your attack dealt 112 damage to the Reaper Queen, causing a severe joint injury effect]
[Your attack dealt 121 damage to the Reaper Queen, causing a tearing effect]
[Your attack dealt 109 damage to the Reaper Queen, causing a bone fracture effect]
Blade light brushed past Gao Gongâs skin, Steel Claw swept past Gao Gongâs eye corner, but Gao Gong was already too busy to care for the health dropping on the panel.
What he caused was more damage, with blood spray erupting, liquid dancing madly; this seemed not like one person, but the result of a group of âGao Gongsâ slashing.
Adding to previous damage, in just moments, the Reaper Queen had lost two-thirds of its blood volume.
This âgameâ, reality is that the more the blood volume drops, the worse the state becomes.
In fact, now the Reaper Queen, with no other thought in its mind, only had one ideaâto get as far away from this humanoid monster as possible.
The gigantic blade limbs unfolded once more, but this time to take flight.
However, hundreds of Gao Gongs almost simultaneously lunged at it in ways defying the rules of physics.
The Reaper Queen was enveloped by a thick human ball.
The murky consciousness made it unable to distinguish Gao Gongâs real from fake, or even the real from fake pain; all it knew was among the countless blade lights, there seemed to be claws gripping its flesh, and blade lights shaving its outer shell.
Its final view saw the forest disappearing in the rain, replaced by the data trees prospering, sprouting new roots and buds, simulating all real environments, and as the data rainwaters surged, finally curling into a torrent, rushing towards itself.
[You dealt 141 damage to the Reaper Queen]
[You have killed the C-level Reaper Queen, experience +1420]
[Regional reputation +150]
[Obtained aura: Humanoid Reaper]
Humanoid Reaper: You defeated the most powerful Reaper; from today onwards, all Mechanical Bio-Beasts below the Reaper level will tremble under your hands.
Gao Gong all but crawled out of the Reaper Queenâs body.
Took a blood bath, fiercely.
He could feel that some pheromone from the opponentâs blood had penetrated his body and integrated with his genes.
Gao Gong wiped his face; it was probably the cleanest part of him.
The blood volume had dropped by three-fifths.
This was within his expectations.
Although it was somewhat over the mark, any boss below B-level was still within his killing mode.
âSolo kill reward, Reaperâs Aura, huh? Not a specialty, but itâs alright,â Gao Gong thought greedily.
However, he had no intention of post-battle rest. On the Cable Tribe side, without his help, who knows how many people had died.
Hope they werenât completely wiped out!
