Volume 7, Chapter 25 – Dodge Taunt

The blood red sword aura came surging in, carrying an overwhelming might.

In the eyes of many players, that blood red sword aura didn’t look like sword aura at all, but more like a streak of blood red light.

But all in all, the sword aura Xiaomengyao swung out was actually extremely powerful. And facing this sudden sword aura, Zhan Wushang, who could be said to have been through countless battles, reacted at the first moment.

“Ranged attack! That high level and it’s even a hidden class?”

This was just too ridiculous. High level aside, it was even a hidden class?

How was anyone supposed to live like this?

Zhan Wushang cried inwardly. Of course, his outward response was still extremely timely. Seeing Xiaomengyao’s sword aura about to slash into him, Zhan Wushang immediately put a defensive shield on himself that could briefly immunize a huge amount of damage.

Boom—!

The instant the sword aura touched the shield, the shield shattered like smashed glass. But… thankfully, Zhan Wushang didn’t take damage, because that sword aura had already been canceled out by the shield that had just shattered.

“No, this looks like that decision just now was wrong. That little girl’s hidden class might be suited for ranged chip damage… I have to get in close…”

Gritting his teeth, Zhan Wushang made up his mind at the first moment to go into close combat.

But in reality, as a Blood Knight, what you feared least was actually melee. It was just that Zhan Wushang was influenced by habitual thinking, believing that a knight who had ranged skills must be weak in melee.

Mm… actually, it was also because Xiaomengyao looked like a little girl, so instinctively he felt she was easy to bully…

Very quickly. Zhan Wushang, who had just opened up distance between the two of them, immediately changed his strategy.

Not only that, Zhan Wushang charged straight toward Xiaomengyao.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk… A knight is a knight, why are you using a spear as a weapon?”

Of course, while Zhan Wushang was preparing to launch an attack on Xiaomengyao, some of the spectators made an unclear kind of snide remark.

But for Zhan Wushang, who was in the middle of battle, he couldn’t hear any of it at all.

“Finally in close… Taunt!”

Very quickly, relying on his own ability, Zhan Wushang, who had been dodging Xiaomengyao’s sword aura attacks the whole way, finally arrived in front of Xiaomengyao.

At the same time, it was at this moment that Zhan Wushang activated the knight’s unique skill, Taunt.

Taunt was a knight’s inherent skill. And this kind of skill that forcibly pulled all aggro onto yourself could be said to be the most normal sight among the vast majority of game players.

Most knight skills existed for defense.

Shield skills, healing skills, defensive skills. As a knight, you naturally needed to master these skills. But… at this moment, Zhan Wushang, who had activated Taunt, had no idea what kind of bad outcome this would bring…

After all, Taunt for ordinary existence was a forced transfer of aggro.

But… even when facing a little girl who looked extremely petite, Zhan Wushang still subconsciously felt that the little girl was actually very easy to deal with.

But in the next moment, Zhan Wushang’s face was about to turn pale…

Because… at the instant Zhan Wushang activated Taunt, the scene that should’ve happened was that Xiaomengyao got pulled by Zhan Wushang’s aggro, then was forced to attack him.

But Xiaomengyao unexpectedly retreated straight backward.

‘Hm? Didn’t I taunt? What’s going on?’

Not only was Zhan Wushang shocked to the extreme, even most of the spectators watching were stunned beyond belief.

“If I’m not seeing wrong, Zhan Wushang just used the knight’s Taunt, right?”

“That’s right, I saw it too… but the result is just way too ridiculous…”

It was really hard to believe.

In this game, some skills were originally extremely annoying in players’ impressions.

For example, the knight’s Taunt. This kind of skill could ignore tier differences to taunt, then forcibly pull the enemy’s aggro over.

But… this kind of skill that should’ve been unsolvable, got “cracked” by a little girl?

“What… happened?”

A player let out a long gasp of amazement.

And on the battlefield, after Xiaomengyao inexplicably dodged his Taunt and opened up distance, Zhan Wushang knew the situation was already lost.

That’s right, it was already lost.

The duration of a knight’s Taunt was actually very long, a full five seconds.

And within those five seconds, it was already enough for Zhan Wushang to unleash a full burst combo and clear out Xiaomengyao’s HP.

But… the truth was different from what Zhan Wushang expected. His Taunt was ruthlessly immune’d by Xiaomengyao.

And after his Taunt got immune’d, Zhan Wushang couldn’t use the follow up methods. And with the added fact that Zhan Wushang himself was a melee class, Zhan Wushang found it hard to get close to Xiaomengyao again.

After all… the skills he used to get close to Xiaomengyao had already been used up. Those skills had now entered cooldown time, and at this moment, Zhan Wushang, who had lost his gap closing skills, without a doubt became a living target.

And the reality was exactly as Zhan Wushang imagined. With him unable to get close, Xiaomengyao kept a relatively safe distance from him.

And under the premise of keeping that relatively safe distance, Xiaomengyao used Blood Sword Aura to wear Zhan Wushang down. Then, with no power to fight back at all, Zhan Wushang was kited to death by Xiaomengyao, alive and helpless…

It really was a suffocatingly humiliating way to die.

════════♡════════ You Won! ════════♡════════

In Xiaomengyao’s view, after defeating Zhan Wushang, this line of text appeared before her. Of course, Xiaomengyao was already used to this kind of text, directly ignoring it as she planned to go back to find Tianyin.

But… just as Xiaomengyao was about to leave, the player she had just kited to death, Zhan Wushang, came straight over after reviving.

“Hm? Do you need something?”

Xiaomengyao looked at the newcomer with some wariness.

“I lost… This time I really did lose to you, but I believe that next time I run into you, I definitely won’t lose again!”

Before Xiaomengyao could understand what Zhan Wushang wanted to do, the player in front of her, that is, Zhan Wushang, said these words all on his own.

“I lost to information, I lost to my own confidence. So in future battles I’ll be more cautious, more serious… and when the next time we face off against each other comes, at that time I will personally defeat you and wash away my shame!”

Not caring about what Xiaomengyao thought, Zhan Wushang spoke those lines of lofty talk that sounded incredibly “chuunibyou” yet was also very serious.

Then, under Xiaomengyao’s completely baffled and blank gaze, he left with flair without even turning his head back.

“Out of nowhere… a weird weirdo…”

Watching that gradually vanishing back, Xiaomengyao directly slapped the label of having something wrong in the head onto Zhan Wushang.

Right after that, she disappeared from the battlefield as well.

However, Xiaomengyao didn’t know that the video of her defeating Zhan Wushang, while directly ignoring the knight’s Taunt skill, had begun spreading like wildfire among the players.

And as this video spread like wildfire, Xiaomengyao also gradually gained her own fame within the player community. This was something Xiaomengyao never expected, and it was also something Tianyin never expected.
