MMB Chapter 186 Dual-wielding melee mage, any problems?
Chapter 186 Dual-wielding melee mage, any problems?
Hiss hiss hiss hiss—!
The purple lightning, as thick as an arm, pierced through the body of the Queen of Ten Thousand Foxes in an instant, like a spear.
The alluring smile that had just appeared on her enchanting face froze instantly, then turned into extreme horror and disbelief.
In the end, it could only let out a groan, and its health bar plummeted to the bottom like a drop tower.
Ding!
Several shimmering objects fell to the ground, proving that what had just happened was not an illusion.
The whole world was deathly silent.
Moonfall and the members of the Moon Goddess's Radiance elite group behind him stood frozen in place like stone sculptures.
Their weapons were still in the standard combat starting position.
The expression on his face changed from the initial solemnity and vigilance to the blankness and bewilderment he was in at this moment.
Ultimately, it all converged into a shocking, almost absurd feeling.
Is that... all there is to it?
From the moment I entered the room until now, it has been a total of seven minutes and thirteen seconds.
What did they do?
They followed behind, walking for seven minutes.
Then, the BOSS disappeared.
Moonfall's brain was filled with question marks.
He still vividly remembered the scene last time at the Tomb of a Thousand Lights, when Chen You, wielding the Dao Sword, fought the Skeleton Monarch in close combat.
But now?
From beginning to end, Chen You didn't even draw his weapon, let alone pull out his sword.
He walked with his hands behind his back, occasionally raising a finger to tap lightly.
With a "whoosh," all the demon foxes in the sky vanished into thin air.
Swordsman? Mage?
"Ki... Brother Ki..." An elven archer swallowed hard, his voice trembling.
"Can we...can we go pick up the things now?"
Yue Luoji jolted awake, suddenly snapping back to reality.
He glanced at the few pieces of equipment on the ground, then at the aloof figure who had already turned around and was about to leave.
The inner thirst for knowledge and the professional instincts of an analyst finally overcame the fear.
He quickly caught up with him and spoke cautiously.
"Boss!"
Chen You paused, but did not turn around.
"Boss, um..." Yue Luoji hesitated, carefully choosing his words, "You...you're not a swordsman?"
I finally asked.
Chen You remained completely unmoved.
He pulled all this stunt just to hear those words.
Although he concealed his profession, the whole world knew he was a "pioneer of the immortal path," and most people would guess that he was a cultivator.
That's why he wanted to use this smokescreen.
This is what Zhang Yunhai calls strategic deception.
Although it may not seem to have much significance at present, it can't hurt to do it.
The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
Under the tense gaze of Yueluoji and his teammates behind him, Chen You finally slowly turned around.
His face was expressionless, and his voice was as flat as water.
"I forgot to mention."
"Actually, I am a mage."
"???"
A huge question mark slowly appeared on Moonfall's forehead.
The team members behind him stared wide-eyed, as if they had heard something unbelievable.
Master?
You call that a monk?
Which mage doesn't fart or conjure a giant fireball the moment they meet?
Is it reasonable for you to just raise your hand and unleash a bolt of purple lightning, instantly killing someone?
Moonfall felt his worldview had been shaken like never before, and he instinctively retorted.
"But...but boss, last time at the Tomb of a Thousand Lights, you were clearly wielding a sword and engaging in close combat with the Skeleton Monarch! That swordsmanship..."
He wanted to say "that swordsmanship was superb," but felt it was inappropriate, so he swallowed the words back.
Chen You glanced at him, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
He spoke again in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Melee mage".
Moonfall Base: "Huh?"
"A melee mage, wielding a staff in one hand and a longsword in the other," Chen You casually made up.
"If warriors can dual-wield, mages certainly can too."
"So, isn't it reasonable for a mage to use a sword?"
Moonfall Base: "..."
Everyone from Luna's Radiance: "..."
Reasonable?
That's utterly unreasonable!
Yue Luoji opened his mouth, wanting to ask something more, but found that his brain had already hardened, and he had no idea where to begin.
Melee mage...
To be honest, it does sound more reasonable for a mage to use a sword than for a warrior to use magic.
Could it be... that this is the true meaning of the title "Pioneer of Immortal Cultivation"?
A completely new, revolutionary melee mage class system?!
hiss--!
The more Yueluoji thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and the more terrifying it became.
Just as a storm was raging in his mind, Chen You had already lost patience.
The server maintenance is due soon.
"Ding! Player [Chen You] has left the party."
A system notification sounded.
Yue Luoji looked up abruptly, only to see Chen You's figure had already turned into a white light and disappeared from the spot.
They're leaving now!
They don't even want the spoils!
"Brother Ji, the boss... "
"Don't speak!"
Moonfall took a deep breath, his eyes more solemn than ever before, even with a hint of fanaticism.
"Quick! Write down every single word and every punctuation mark that the big boss just said, verbatim!"
"Also, not a single frame of the entire battle footage can be deleted!"
"Upon returning, immediately report to the chairman and convene a top-level tactical analysis meeting!"
"Yes!" the crowd responded in unison, their expressions solemn.
……
the other side.
Thousand Lights City, Supreme Building, Top-Tier Training Room.
"call……"
Chen You slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.
"What a pity."
Chen You muttered to himself.
"If we had a few more minutes, we should have reached the sixth floor."
The server is about to shut down, there's nothing we can do about it.
"The path to becoming a king..." Chen You stroked his chin, his eyes solemn.
A mythical-level quest was so powerful that it caused the entire Origin Realm to shut down for maintenance, and a corresponding instance was created on the spot.
This treatment is like being treated like the most beloved son.
But Chen You knew very well that the higher the salary, the greater the risk.
"The risk assessment of the task must be thoroughly understood before it is taken offline."
He made up his mind and then left the training room.
The main hall of the Supreme Building.
Hill didn't stand behind the counter today, but instead stood quietly in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the night view of Thousand Light City outside.
She wore an elegant white dress, her figure slender and graceful, her profile as beautiful as a hazy poem.
Hearing footsteps, she slowly turned around.
"Dear VIP member, you seem to always be chasing the storm." Her voice was ethereal, as if it came from the clouds.
Chen You wasn't in the mood to engage in artistic pursuits with her.
He walked up to Hill in a few steps and cut to the chase: "What's going on with that new dungeon called 'The Path of the King'?"
Hill tilted her head slightly, her long eyelashes trembling, her eyes carrying just the right amount of confusion.
After a moment, she parted her lips slightly and recited:
"The throne of old is now covered in dust, and the road to the new king is paved with bones."
"When shadows once again shroud the earth, only by treading on the ashes of the past can one find... the flame of new life."
Chen You sighed and asked a more direct question: "Was this dungeon specifically created for my Mythic quest?"
"The web of fate always leads special threads to predetermined nodes," Hill replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.
"Okay, I understand." Chen You nodded.
You have to ask some questions that can't be fobbed off.
How many bosses are there in the new dungeon? What kinds of monsters are they? What is the level restriction?
A hint of confusion flashed in Hill's eyes again.
She didn't answer, but just looked at Chen You, as if to say: Why don't you ask another question?
"It seems we'll have to wait until after the maintenance," Chen You thought to himself.
After glancing at the time, Chen You saw that there was less than half a minute left before the server shut down, so he logged off immediately.
The entire Origin Realm was quieter than ever before.
Without exception, all the players were waiting.
What will happen in two hours?
