Chapter 1740 1740: The Invader Has No Redemption
"Luke?!"
Jamil exclaimed excitedly, "You actually killed the Lord God... how is that possible?"
"Lord God?" Wang Yu was also surprised. "Your inexplicable respect for the God of Light as the Lord of Soul Demon is quite puzzling."
"Because he is my father!"
As he spoke, a series of black lights erupted from behind Jamil, and six black wings extended from his back.
Unlike the wings of other demons, Jamil's wings, aside from their black color, were identical in shape and size to those of an angel.
"Hehe!" Wang Yu laughed upon seeing this. "It seems that the gods and demons really are two peas in a pod."
"You're right!" Jamil replied nonchalantly. "As I just said, since both the gods and demons are the same, why don't you submit to me? With your strength, I believe that one day you will surely surpass me."
System Prompt: You have gained the admiration of the Lord of Soul Demon Jamil. Would you like to join the Dark Faction?
Well, it's no surprise that someone from the divine race has such tactics; Jamil is trying to recruit me just like that.
"I can't deny that you have a point!" Wang Yu replied coolly. "But what does it have to do with me?"
As he said this, Wang Yu clicked to refuse.
"What?!" Jamil's expression changed. "Are you determined to oppose me?"
"No! It's not you!" Wang Yu waved his index finger in front of Jamil. "It's all the gods and demons, including the God of Light, who think they can rule over humanity!"
"Why?"
Jamil was both shocked and angry; he couldn't understand why Wang Yu would go against the powerful gods and demons alone.
"Because I am human!" Wang Yu declared, pulling out his bow and arrows from behind him. "As a human, no race can dominate us and treat us as slaves. You're right that without you, humanity might self-destruct and ultimately perish, but even if humanity extinguishes itself, what does that have to do with you? No matter how grand your words are, you will always be invaders—invaders who can't wash away their sins!"
As he spoke, Wang Yu nocked an arrow on the bowstring.
"Creak!"
The bow was drawn like a full moon!
"Bang!"
The arrow, as thick as an arm and glowing brilliantly, shot straight towards Jamil.
"You!!"
Jamil was genuinely trying to recruit Wang Yu, but Wang Yu not only refused but also attacked him, which was quite excessive. Jamil was nearly furious to the point of explosion.
Of course, compared to the reckless Reiss, Jamil was quite cunning. He knew the power of the bow in Wang Yu's hands and wouldn't confront him head-on like Reiss did.
Just as Wang Yu's arrow was about to hit him, Jamil's figure flickered and disappeared from Wang Yu's sight.
"Bang!"
Wang Yu's arrow missed, embedding deeply into the wall behind Jamil.
"Fearless, get down!"
Seeing Jamil vanish, Wang Yu's expression tightened, and he shouted while pushing Fearless down by the shoulder.
Fearless instinctively crouched down.
"Swish!"
A cold wind brushed past Fearless's back. At the same time, the air behind him twisted, revealing Jamil's figure behind Fearless.
"Eh?"
Jamil frowned slightly; it was evident that he was somewhat surprised that Wang Yu could accurately judge his range.
After all, Jamil was a god-level boss, and his stealth skills were quite high. It wouldn't be easy for a player several levels lower than him, or even another god-level boss of the same level, to detect Jamil's movements. Wang Yu's insight was indeed unexpected for Jamil.
However, surprise or not, Jamil didn't waste any time. After his initial attack missed, he quickly turned around and swung his staff towards Wang Yu's head.
Wang Yu remained calm; he grabbed the bow's body with his left hand, pivoted the bowstring toward Jamil, and lightly leaped back, simultaneously drawing an arrow with his right hand and throwing it at Jamil.
"Buzz!!"
Jamil's staff struck precisely against Wang Yu's bowstring, producing a faint sound.
Wang Yu's God-Slaying Bow was a legendary artifact, and no matter how strong Jamil was, he couldn't destroy it in one blow, especially since the strike landed on the bowstring.
As the strongest God-grade equipment in the game, the bowstring's elasticity was evident. Jamil's powerful swing instantly dissipated much of its force, and the rebound sent Wang Yu flying back several meters.
Before Wang Yu hit the ground, the arrow he had thrown was already flying toward Jamil's face.
According to the game's settings, players throwing arrows barehanded didn't deal damage. An ordinary boss would likely ignore Wang Yu's thrown arrow, allowing it to fall harmlessly upon them. But Jamil was a god-level boss and the proud Lord of Soul Demon; he wouldn't allow a mere mortal to throw things at him.
With a flick of his index and middle fingers, Jamil deflected Wang Yu's arrow.
In that brief moment of blocking, Wang Yu had already landed, setting up his bow with his left hand and gripping an arrow with his right, tensing his arms.
"Creak!"
"Bang!"
The second arrow shot directly toward Jamil.
At this point, Wang Yu was only about ten meters away from Jamil. Although Wang Yu wasn't an expert archer, an arrow shot from the God-Slaying Bow, being a ancient equipment, was still remarkably fast and wouldn't be much slower than a seasoned archer's shot. In an instant, the arrow was already at Jamil's face.
Seeing that Jamil was about to be hit by Wang Yu's arrow, Jamil merely tilted his body slightly to evade it.
"This... such speed."
Wang Yu was greatly astonished and quickly sent a message to Fearless: "Wake the others up to help!"
Wang Yu had always been wary of high-speed bosses.
There was no doubt about the God-Slaying Bow's attack power against demons, but no matter how strong the attack, it would be futile if it couldn't hit the target.
Jamil's six wings were not just for show; Wang Yu's close-range shot was easily dodged, showcasing Jamil's impressive reflexes and speed, truly deserving of the title of god-level boss.
While Wang Yu was shocked by Jamil's speed, Jamil was just as surprised; avoiding Wang Yu's arrows wasn't particularly difficult. The reason he was taken aback was that Wang Yu's arrow came so unexpectedly. He had merely blocked, and the arrow was already upon him. The contrast between the two arrows demonstrated Wang Yu's battle prowess, far exceeding Jamil's expectations.
...
"Voice of the Divine Oracle!"
While Wang Yu and Jamil were momentarily stunned, Fearless had already gotten back to his feet and waved his staff, summoning a beam of holy light that dispelled the charm spells on everyone. They looked at each other in confusion before hurriedly picking up their weapons.
