However, a Mage’s physical defense was not very high too. While Little Meng’s attacks were weak, Hidden Lurker’s health was also decreasing gradually to zero. Seeing that Hidden Lurker was only left with a little health, Wang Yu casually executed his [Rippling Wave] to turn Hidden Lurker into white light.

　　“F*ck! You killed him?”

　　Little Meng was clearly unhappy when she saw Wang Yu killing the opponent which she worked so hard to bring the health down.

　　“Just lending a helping hand! You don’t have to thank me!” Wang Yu couldn’t tell the unhappiness in Little Meng’s voice. In Wang Yu’s eyes, Little Meng’s slow and gradual way of fighting was too torturous to watch on…

　　“Thank your head! I am the one who helped you and you kill-steal me?” Little Meng raised her bow and shot three arrows right at Wang Yu.

　　Little Meng’s arrows were nothing extraordinary. Only one flew right at Wang Yu’s head while the other two were aimed at both his legs.

　　“Stop fooling around…” Wang Yu took a step back to dodge the two low arrows before using his hand to slap the incoming arrow. Just as he was about to say something, he realised he couldn’t move his body anymore.

　　“Eh? What’s happening?” Wang Yu looked at his tab and realised there was an additional Shadow Bind control effect on him.

　　Shadow Bind: Bind for 2 seconds, Silence for 2 seconds.

　　So it was control effect that made it hard for Hidden Lurker to fight her.

　　While Mages’ damage output was high, it was a job that feared control. If it was merely a root effect, it wouldn’t pose a problem for the high damage Mage. However, the silence effect was the most feared effect by a Mage.

　　A Mage’s damage output was heavily reliant on shouting. With the silence effect, a Mage would have lost both its ability to attack and move. At a time like that, a Mage would be a fresh piece of meat available for anyone to slaughter.

　　Having bind and silence together in one skill was indeed frightening… Every job would have at least one skill to release control effect. However, that skill couldn’t be executed once a person was silenced. All one could do would be to stare blankly at the opponent while getting beaten alive.

　　With such a powerful control skill, this lady was evidently not an ordinary person.

　　However, Wang Yu was still confused. None of the three arrows struck him so why was he controlled?

　　Just as Wang Yu was wondering, Little Meng’s crossbow turned into a longbow. She pulled the bowstring and over ten arrows descended from the sky. Wang Yu recognised this skill as it was a level 30 Archer skill [Bloody Rain of Arrows]. This was an Archer’s range skill. The difference between Little Meng’s arrows was that it was black in colour while the ordinary Archer’s arrows were red in colour.

　　Wang Yu’s hands went up and down without panicking. In a matter of seconds, he managed to catch all of Little Meng’s arrows. After that, he spoke in an unpleasant tone, “Why are you attacking me without saying anything? We were teammates, even if it was for a short while.”

　　Little Meng didn’t answer Wang Yu’s question. Instead, she exclaimed, “You… You’ve managed to catch all of them?”

　　“Ah? Why? Is there a problem?” Wang Yu sounded like everything was natural and normal. This made Little Meng so shocked that she almost ran out of breath.

　　Even though many players could use their own weapons to block arrows, it was due to a combination of movement and skills. Presently, Wang Yu was neither able to walk nor execute any skills. Just by standing there, he was actually able to catch all the incoming arrows…

　　Yes, he didn’t simply block the arrows, he caught it. While the two would result in similar outcomes, the skills involved were vastly different. Moreover, her [Rain of Arrows] was a skill and not any ordinary attack. To be caught using his hands, Little Meng was even suspecting whether there was a glitch in the system. On the other hand, Wang Yu actually asked if there was a problem…

　　“No, no problem at all…” Little Meng replied awkwardly before complaining, “I finally manage to take care of that human scum after so long yet you kill-steal me. Iron Bull right? My name is Ling Longmeng. I am your leader’s friend.”

　　“Oh, hello there.”

　　Wang Yu hurriedly sent a friend request over before asking in a surprised tone, “No wonder you took so long to kill Hidden Lurker. You’re intentionally torturing him ah.”

　　It made complete sense that Fearless’ friend would do this to Fearless’ arch nemesis, Hidden Lurker. Additionally, Wang Yu could tell from Ling Longmeng’s tone that she seemed to be in a good relationship with Fearless. Being in a good relationship with a person like Fearless meant that her actions and train of thoughts should be abnormal too.

　　Looking at how this lady tortured her opponent to death in that manner, it was sadistic both mentally and physically. It was no wonder people always say that a woman’s heart was the most poisonous. Even though Hidden Lurker was the one who was tortured, cold sweat started dripping down his back.

　　“Shut up! Do I look like such a perverted person?” Ling Longmeng stared at Wang Yu, “I, this old woman, have low output attacks. What can I do about it?”

　　“No way! An Archer with low output attacks? Do you take me as an idiot?” Wang Yu replied.

　　Even though an Archer’s attacks would not be as explosive as a Mage or Assassin, but the continuous attacks would not lose to any other jobs. Wang Yu was a newbie but not an idiot so he would know a common knowledge like that too.

　　“Tsk! Then did you know an Archer can add Whole Intelligence?” Ling Longmeng provoked.

　　“Whole Intelligence?” Wang Yu was dumbfounded. An Archer was an absolute physical attack job. What was the point of adding intelligence? Of course, Wang Yu knew that he was inexperienced in terms of game knowledge and he knew that there were many styles or gameplay that he hadn’t seen before. In order not to make a fool of himself, he asked, “What is the benefit of adding this?”

　　“Tsk! Am I very close with you? Why must I tell you this?!” Ling Longmeng twitched her mouth which stunned Wang Yu. She was indeed a woman with poisonous heart. What kind of friends does Fearless have?

　　…

　　The Sacred Snow Lotus would disappear after death. Without considering whether the Titan City’s quest could be salvaged, the trip to and fro would minimally be next morning. This time, Nian Liuyun was definitely not going to catch up with Wang Yu’s progress anymore.

　　Wang Yu pulled open his quest tab to mark the location of the Wind Elf on the map. He ignored any other people around him and started making his way to Elf City.

　　“Eh, where are you going?” Ling Longmeng followed closely when she saw that Wang Yu walked away without saying anything to her.

　　“Hey hey hey, do you have any manners? I am asking you a question.”

　　Wang Yu looked at the noisy Ling Longmeng behind him and really wanted to reply ‘Do I know you well?’. However, he would look like a person with no magnanimity. Ling Longmeng looked pretty decent and even helped him once. Doing something like that would appear too ungentlemanly.

　　“Quest!” Wang Yu replied her as straightforward as it could get.

　　“Quest?” An excited Ling Longmeng looked at Wang Yu and said, “Bring me along!”

　　In <<REBIRTH>>, most quests could be shared and the rewards for doing such quests would often reap attractive rewards. This was definitely better than the dull and boring way of killing monsters. Hearing that Wang Yu was doing a quest, she couldn’t help but want to tag along.

　　“No!” Wang Yu rejected her without hesitation.

　　Not mentioning the fact that this quest was a personal one, even if he could form teams, he would never team up with this woman. This woman was Fearless’ friend and Wang Yu knew that he had to be vigilant so as not to be harmed. Additionally, this was a frenzied and ridiculous woman.
