But now that it’s switched to holographic mode, the spider appears as tall as an adult man’s thigh, hideous beyond belief yet lifelike, landing right in front of Warlord.
Warlord went crazy on the spot: “Holy sh*t ahhhhhhh!”
Ethan Grant: “……”
Chris Foster: “……”
Warlord dropped the boss and turned to run.
This dungeon has a nasty setting: once you enter, the cave entrance seals shut.
So he ran straight into the closed cave door, looked back to see the spider taking two steps forward, and broke down: “Don’t come any closer ahhhh! Damn you, dog planner! Let me out!”
Ethan Grant: “……”
Chris Foster: “……”
The two of them were caught completely off guard and froze for a moment.
Then the spider used a skill, hitting the nearest Chris Foster for 35% of his HP.
Chris Foster: “……”
Ethan Grant snapped back to his senses and immediately took two steps back.
At the same time, Warlord noticed spider marks slowly seeping out of the wall, and with a wail, he dove to Ethan Grant’s side and clung to him for dear life.
Ethan Grant said, “Don’t grab me.”
Warlord couldn’t hear a thing, so scared he was babbling nonsense: “F*ck his ancestors %¥#@……”
Ethan Grant knew nothing he said would help.
He turned to check on his teammate who was forced to tank the boss, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
There wasn’t much room to maneuver in the cave, and with a 5-level gap facing the final boss, two or three hits would mean death. But except for the first blow, this guy hadn’t taken another hit since, his movement smooth as flowing water—truly a pleasure to watch.
Just now, when they were grinding mobs together, he’d already noticed this teammate was skilled. Now, in a crisis, he could see the full extent of his ability—definitely pro level, probably even a main player on a team.
An unfamiliar class, an unfamiliar dungeon.
He gradually became entranced, not even noticing when Warlord logged off, until his teammate spoke up.
Chris Foster: “You’re just going to stand there and watch?”
Ethan Grant thought for a moment, then cheered him on: “666.”
Chris Foster: “……”
Ethan Grant clapped: “You got this.”
Chris Foster: “……”
Ethan Grant said, “Don’t get distracted, watch your positioning.”
Chris Foster let out a laugh, incredibly gentle.
Ethan Grant’s heart skipped a beat, sensing trouble.
The next moment, he saw someone pulling the boss and charging straight at him.
Chapter 04
A simple five-man mini-dungeon was turned into utter chaos by these two pros.
Chris Foster kited the boss to bite Ethan Grant, and of course Ethan Grant wasn’t going to sit still—he dodged back and forth.
It was his first time running this dungeon, and he wasn’t familiar with the terrain. He thought there was enough space ahead to turn, but as he got closer, he realized the stone wall was curved, blocking his path.
Chris Foster seized the chance, bringing the boss over and trapping him in the corner.
Getting trapped was one thing, but the guy even pretended to be all caring.
“Was so focused on ‘concentrating’ on the boss, I didn’t even notice you. Why didn’t you dodge?” Captain Foster said gently and considerately. “Don’t worry, I’ll kill it as fast as I can.”
Captain Grant was calm: “I’m not worried, after all, the aggro’s on you.”
Chris Foster: “……”
The aggro was on Chris Foster, which meant the boss would only chase him.
But the boss had a wide attack range, with both single-target and AoE attacks. Ethan Grant was forced to take an AoE hit, then, while it switched to single-target, quickly climbed onto its body and, right in front of the other guy, used it as a stepping stone to get out of the corner.
Chris Foster: “……”
Ethan Grant reached a safe spot and cheered him on: “Take your time, no rush.”
Chris Foster laughed: “What’s the point?”
Ethan Grant said, “Weren’t you the one who said you’d kill it quickly?”
Chris Foster turned around and charged at him again.
Ethan Grant learned his lesson and didn’t make the same mistake. Chris Foster chased him with the boss for five minutes and still couldn’t trap him again.
If there had been a third person present, they’d probably be staring in shock.
The cave was only so big, with rubble and uneven stone walls, not to mention a 5-level gap with the boss. Yet as they chased each other, they managed to dodge all its attacks.
Chris Foster was dead set on killing him, but only now realized what was going on.
Honestly, there’s only so much you can do in a low-level dungeon.
Among the main players on any pro team, if you picked one at random and had them dodge a boss with a 5-level gap, they could all do it.
But that’s only if there are no other factors interfering.
Now, he was the one dragging the boss around, deliberately creating chaos and squeezing the other’s space, even picking tricky angles—yet this Sealer handled it with ease.
Characters have set movement speeds; you can’t just run as fast as you want.
Even though the freedom in holographic mode is pretty high and it looks like you can run anywhere, being able to leave the boss’s attack range at just the right moment every time is no easy feat.
This Sealer was seriously slick.
Chris Foster thought about it carefully.
Setting everything else aside, just in terms of movement, there were only about a dozen people in the entire Dream League who could play a squishy class to this level against him—and there’s no way these people wouldn’t remember his ID.
Could it be that back in keyboard mode, his hand speed couldn’t keep up and only his game sense was good, so he was just an above-average player, but now that it’s holographic, he’s become a monster?
