Chapter 443: The Heart’s Location
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
"F*ck!"
After the effort they put in to reduce that amount of health of the BOSS, Lone Vagrant Guest cursed when he saw that the health instantly returned to the maximum again.
After cursing, the BOSS had already charged towards Lone Vagrant Guest with the dagger in his hand.
Lone Vagrant Guest immediately turned pale as he hurriedly shouted, "Uncle Lyon, I was wrong. The truth is that I admire you greatly."
No one knew if Assassin Lyon really took Lone Vagrant Guest's words for real. However, he turned his dagger away without expressing any emotions. The shaft of the dagger touched Lone Vagrant Guest and he let out an 'aiya'. After that, he was no longer able to move.
"F*ck! It worked? Why am I such a talent…" After escaping death by a fluke, Lone Vagrant Guest was so dazed that he praised himself and his quick-wittedness that saved his life.
After touching Lone Vagrant Guest, Assassin Lyon slapped Lone Vagrant Guest's body. Lone Vagrant Guest's weapons dropped out before and Assassin Lyon turned towards One Page Book.
One Page Book took off immediately in an attempt to escape. However, how can a puny level 30 Thief outrun a level 50 BOSS? Within two to three steps, Assassin Lyon caught up with One Page Book and appeared in front of her.
Lone Vagrant Guest shouted loudly, "Sister, faster beg for him not to kill you…"
One Page Book was a person with dignity and was definitely as thick-skinned as Lone Vagrant Guest. Even at this point in time, One Page Book was reluctant to beg for her life with the person who wanted to kill her.
Seeing the arrival of Assassin Lyon, One Page Book decided to go direct as she charged towards Assassin Lyon. With her swift movements, her dagger went right through the left side of his chest.
Since this BOSS mentioned about piercing his heart, this move should be able to cause a significant amount of damage.
-12
The small number made it unbearable for One Page Book to look at.
Were we tricked again?
While One Page Book was felt despair, Assassin Lyon's dagger had already landed. However, he didn't kill One Page Book but used the shaft of his dagger to touch her too. Similarly, he went on to slap One Page Book's body to knock out her weapons.
Assassin Lyon's mercy made Lone Vagrant Guest remember that some moralities of certain jobs were strict about not killing women and children. However, Lone Vagrant Guest was confused as he muttered to himself, "I can't believe women have such privileges… But besides her voice, how did Assassin Lyon tell that One Page Book is a girl?"
Initially, both of them thought that this Ancient BOSS was more in name than in reality after seeing how it was struggling to fight Wang Yu. However, Assassin Lyon managed to control the two of them within seconds of raising his dagger. This made the duo realised how truly terrifying this Ancient Boss was.
It wasn't because the BOSS was weak but because Wang Yu was too strong. Lone Vagrant Guest also reacted to the situation as he finally realised the difference between himself and Wang Yu. He was a rogue player who relied on money to rise above the ranks. Wang Yu, on the other hand, relied on his supreme skills…
After all these, the BOSS caught up with Wang Yu again. It was truly an insult to be humiliated by a level 35 Pugilist. Assassin Lyon's hatred for Wang Yu increased to yet another level as his moves were even sharper and quicker than before.
Wang Yu took out two more daggers from his bag to counter every move from the BOSS. Even though it was rather balanced, Wang Yu felt that he was defending more than he was attacking.
Lone Vagrant Guest suggested, "Brother Bull, beg him to not kill you…"
"Can you just shut up?" Wang Yu didn't even have time to argue with Lone Vagrant Guest so One Page Book seized the opportunity to help Wang Yu reprimand Lone Vagrant Guest.
Lone Vagrant Guest replied, "You saw it too. This BOSS has such high defense and can even regain his health. This fight is meaningless so why don't we plead for mercy."
One Page Book pointed at the fight as she responded, "Do you really think Assassin Lyon will let him go even if Wang Yu begged him?
Lone Vagrant Guest turned his head to take a look and felt so miserable when he realised they were caught in an irresolvable situation.
Assassin Lyon truly hated Wang Yu that much. Against Lone Vagrant Guest and co, Assassin Lyon showed so much mercy. It was only against Wang Yu that he swung his dagger around so often. He never looked like he was ever planning to show mercy and even Lone Vagrant Guest could notice that.
"So what do we do? Brother Bull struck his heart but it didn't cause much damages."
During the fight, Wang Yu minimally pierced the BOSS's heart at least four to five times but it didn't do much too.
"This…" One Page Book pondered before asking. "Could his heart be on the right side? There are some people in the world whose heart is on the right side.
"Hmm, this is possible." Lone Vagrant Guest's favourite pastime is to read martial arts novels. His favourite book was called the Demigods and Semi-Devils where Huang Meiseng's heart was grown on the right side. This was the reason why she wasn't killed by Murong Bo's strongman finger. Hearing One Page Book's explanation, Lone Vagrant Guest's eyes were instantly lit up.
"Brother Bull, try attacking his right chest. His heart could be located there." Lone Vagrant Guest sent this message on the group chat.
Seeing the news from the two of them, Wang Yu was also surprised as he came to realise that the human heart could grow from the right side too. Why did he keep attacking the left side?
At the thought of this, Wang Yu shifted his body and darted towards the BOSS. His dagger struck the right side of Assassin Lyon's chest.
-22
A small number appeared yet again and Wang Yu was dumbfounded. Just as he was about to pull the dagger out, Assassin Lyon's right arm already grabbed hold of Wang Yu. The dagger in his left hand landed right on Wang Yu's neck.
-1941
Wang Yu's health decreased all the way.
The effect of [Motionless As A Mountain] was ignited and the shield saved Wang Yu's life.
Wang Yu hurriedly jumped back a few steps as he avoided Assassin Lyon's range of attacks.
"F*ck! This guy lied again." Lone Vagrant Guest was so infuriated at what he witnessed.
After attempts to attack both sides of the chest, none of the attacks was significant in the damages dealt. Thinking back, why would a BOSS be foolish enough to mention that his weakness was his heart if it really was his weakness? He must be lying.
Wang Yu widened the distance between himself and the BOSS before saying, "It can't be! The game NPC might be shameless but they will never lie."
"Then could his heart be grown at his bladder?" Lone Vagrant Guest began to spout nonsense.
One Page Book nodded, "You can't rule that out. If a heart is deformed, one might not be able to discern the location of the heart in the body."
"Sister, what do you do as an occupation in real life?" Lone Vagrant Guest suddenly questioned One Page Book.
"I'm a doctor…"
"Tell me where you work at."
"Why?"
Lone Vagrant Guest spoke in a serious tone, "So that I know where not to go when I am ill next time…"
Wang Yu ignored Lone Vagrant Guest's nonsense as he asked, "Why do you think he doesn't want to kill the two of you? Why does he only want to kill me?"
"Because she is a woman and I am handsome!" Lone Vagrant replied promptly.
"No, it isn't like that." Wang Yu replied, "I feel that it is because of the fact that both your quests were quests that only the two of you could complete. However, my quest can be completed by any one of us. Therefore, he isn't afraid of killing me."
"What do you mean?" One Page Book asked.
Wang Yu replied, "Heart of Darkness carries the word 'Heart'. Will this have something to do with the BOSS's heart?"
