Everyone immediately looked toward the source of the voice, only to see Wang Yu frowning as he stared at Merlin with a pensive look on his face.
Wang Yu may be a noob, but as the first person to have fought against an epic-level boSS multiple times, Wang Yu was more familiar with epic-level boSS than anyone else.
In Rebirth, the stats and skills of a boSS weren't all that scary. What was scary was the way the boSS fought and their intelligence.
One had to realize that compared to boSS of the same level, epic-level boSS didn't have much HP. The advantage of epic-level boSS was that they had their own AI system.
Due to their intelligence, normal boSS with tens of millions of HP had a predictable way of fighting, and it was very easy for players to figure out how to kill them. Their so-called powerful stats were only there to help them survive for a few more seconds.
Epic-Level boSS were completely different. These guys were all intelligent NPCs.
Players' traditional fighting methods were completely useless against them. They could only fight with their wits and courage like PvP.
However, epic-level boSS had a terrifying characteristic, and that was their growth in battle.
The early stages of epic-level boSS weren't too advanced. At most, they were at the level of an elite boSS of the same level. However, they would quickly improve and perfect their own fighting methods based on their opponent's tactics as the battle progressed. This was what we meant by "getting stronger when you meet a stronger opponent".
Therefore, against such boSS, players had to hold back and not display too much strength. Otherwise, overwhelming the opponent in the early stages would only make the boSS grow even faster.
To be honest, Wang Yu didn't know how high Wuji's intelligence was. However, a player's strength was fixed. No matter how awesome a player's tactics were, there was a limit to how much they could improve their combat strength. Facing Merlin like this would only make his fighting methods more perfect.
"Holy Flame!"
Sure enough, Merlin threw a talisman to the ground as soon as Wang Yu said that. The talisman landed on the vines of Spring Soar and quickly burned up. Merlin was freed from the restraints on his feet.
Merlin had learned his lesson after breaking free, and he leaped into the air.
"What a despicable bastard!"
After being screwed over by Wuji three times in a row, Merlin still had lingering fear in his heart, and he sighed with emotion as he flew into the sky.
From this, one could see the difference between a boS with intelligence and one without intelligence. If a normal boS or an elite boS were to encounter such a situation, they would definitely bite the bullet and fight recklessly. However, an Epic-level boS could quickly find a way to deal with it.
Merlin's feet had already left the ground, and no matter how bad * ss the players were, there was no way they could set up traps in mid-air.
However, the boSS flying was exactly what the players wanted. After all, it was generally much more difficult to maneuver in the air than on the ground. It was clearly not a wise move for Merlin to fly at a time like this.
As Merlin flew through the air, Wuji issued another command, and a barrage of magic arrows flew toward Merlin again.
To their surprise, Merlin's Holy Soaring Technique allowed him to traverse through the air as if he were walking on flat ground. Not only did his movement techniques not slow down in the slightest, but they also became even more agile.
He dodged most of the attacks with a few flashes.
"Damn it!"
This time, the players had completely enraged Merlin. Merlin let loose a thunderous roar as he flew toward Wuji.
If it were an elite boS, then they would definitely follow the aggro system to attack the opponent that dealt the most damage to them or was the easiest to deal with.
However, as a highly intelligent boS, Merlin had an independent thinking system that allowed him to analyze his opponent from all aspects of the battle before targeting the most threatening target.
During the battle just then, Wuji had set up traps for Merlin several times in a row, so Merlin's aggro was now locked onto Wuji.
Merlin flew through the air at an extremely fast speed, and he reached Wuji in the blink of an eye. He raised his palm and slammed it down toward Wuji's forehead.
Wuji's two invincibility skills were still on cooldown at this moment. As a cloth-armor class, his defense was naturally low. Even with the ability to convert health to mana, he would most likely be severely injured if not killed by Merlin's attack.
"Ferocious Dragon Slash!"
Just as Wuji was about to be slapped to death by Merlin's palm, Bao San leaped in front of Wuji and slammed his Divine Sword into Merlin's body.
The Ferocious Dragon Slash was a skill with extremely high priority, and it also had a bonus to priority against airborne targets. Furthermore, Merlin was still descending from above, so he had no time to evade. Thus, Bao San's Ferocious Dragon Slash landed on Merlin's body.
As a humanoid boS, Merlin didn't have the high priority of a bestial boS, so he was sent flying after taking a powerful blow from Bao San.
In the end, a boS was still a boS. Merlin didn't lose much health even after taking a powerful blow from Bao San. Furthermore, he spread open his arms and performed a Quick Recover in mid-air, thereby allowing him to hover steadily in mid-air.
Merlin only faltered in mid-air for a split second before making a sharp turn and flying toward Wuji again.
This time, the players were also prepared. Seeing that Merlin's aggro was on Wuji, Yin Lao Er turned around and positioned himself in front of Wuji with his shield before casting a Taunt at Merlin.
Merlin couldn't help but deviate from his original direction after being Taunted, and he raised his palm to strike Yin Lao Er's shield.
Yin Lao Er thought that Merlin would be fooled again like before. A faint smile appeared on Yin Lao Er's face upon seeing Merlin fall for his Taunt. He hid behind his shield and pulled out a one-handed sword in an attempt to stab Merlin.
However, just as Merlin was about to stab Yin Lao Er's shield, he suddenly flipped his palm and a talisman flew out from his palm. The talisman bypassed the shield and stuck itself onto Yin Lao Er's head. Yin Lao Er let out a cry of pain before falling silent.
Seeing this, Bao San immediately swung his sword to help, but Merlin slapped Bao San across the face.
Splat!
The talisman struck Bao San squarely in the forehead, and Bao San was immobilized just like Yin Lao Er.
At the same time, To Place One's Pride's Quick Shadow Flurry Kick had also landed on Merlin's back.
Bam!
Merlin's body shattered, and To Place One's Pride was momentarily stunned by the explosion. At this moment, Merlin's real body appeared behind To Place One's Pride, and he bent his right hand and reached out from behind To Place One's Pride to slap the talisman onto To Place One's Pride's forehead. To Place One's Pride fell from the sky in a miserable manner before crashing into Yin Lao Er's body.
Ming Jian Daoxue and Beiming Youyu, who had already snuck up behind Merlin and were about to launch a sneak attack, immediately stopped in their tracks.
Seeing that Merlin had immobilized three of Quanzhen's elite melee fighters in less than three seconds, everyone broke out in a cold sweat …
F * ck, this boSS was growing at a terrifying rate. Just a moment ago, they had been foolishly tricked by Wuji, but after just a few rounds, it was as if Merlin had become a completely different person. Even though it was still the same boSS, Wuji could clearly sense that the difficulty had changed.
Just as everyone was reeling in shock, Merlin raised his palms toward the three immobilized Bao San and the others on the ground. Two dazzling lights, one blue and one red, burst forth from his palms.
