7: One-hit kill, first kill on the boss!

"You dog, no sportsmanship. White Emperor Boss, watch out for the Archer stealing the boss."

Feng Yun, Young Master Leng reacted instantly and warned Lin Yue.

"I know."

"System Prompt: You are under attack by Overlord Divine Bow. Counter-attacking will not result in a Red Name penalty."

Lin Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, endless hatred churning and rising in his heart. The Overlord Guild—he hadn't gone looking for them, yet they came looking for him first.

Judging by the damage of that arrow just now, the opponent was at least a Rank 8 Archer, hiding in the dense forest, ready to ambush at any time.

However, Lin Yue was too experienced; he had already determined the opponent's position.

"The distance is no more than three hundred yards, behind a maple tree to the southwest."

Someone who could deal this kind of damage wasn't an ordinary player. However, Lin Yue didn't care. No matter who the opponent was, if they dared to steal a boss from under his nose, they had to be prepared to be killed at any moment.

Behind a maple tree as thick as a person's embrace, Overlord Divine Bow spoke: "I advise you all to leave quickly; this boss is mine."

After speaking, Overlord Divine Bow grinned. He hadn't expected to stumble upon a boss by accident.

Needless to say, the rewards for the first kill of a boss would definitely be generous. The opponents were just a Mage and a Warrior. He was confident that with his skills and equipment, he could easily deal with these two.

Although he didn't know why that critical hit arrow didn't kill the Mage just now, the guy must be near death. One more arrow would send him to the afterlife.

"A rat who only knows how to hide in the shadows thinks he's worthy of stealing a boss from me?"

Lin Yue was disdainful. In his eyes, the person from the Overlord Guild was already a corpse.

"Heh, trying to provoke me into showing myself?"

Overlord Divine Bow took a deep breath. Drawing his bow and nocking an arrow was as smooth as flowing water. In almost an instant, he fired two arrows fiercely toward Lin Yue's direction.

"Swoosh, swoosh!"

The sharp arrows pierced through the air, producing a series of whistling sounds as they sped toward Lin Yue's body.

He was a national second-class archery athlete; what right did the opponent have to be so arrogant?

-271 (Critical Hit)

-miss

-27 (Bleeding)

-27

...Lin Yue shifted his position, moving immediately to dodge the first arrow, but he still got hit by one.

Lin Yue's gaze narrowed slightly. The opponent's movements were clean and agile, and his techniques were mature. He was likely an expert with the bow in real life as well.

However, through a simple probe, Lin Yue already knew the opponent's exact position, just waiting for him to show his head again.

"Dodged one arrow, but should be dead... Hmm? Not dead yet?"

Overlord Divine Bow was somewhat surprised. His skill came with ten seconds of bleeding damage. Even if the guy wasn't killed instantly, he should have bled to death.

"This White Emperor is also a lucky person; his talent shouldn't be low."

At this Rank, a Mage's health generally doesn't exceed four hundred. A Mage with over a thousand health must have a special talent.

"But there won't be a next time. This time, I'll definitely kill you."

Overlord Divine Bow drew his bow to a full moon, with four arrows charged and ready to fire. This was his Peak level. This time, he would make sure the opponent was dead as dead could be.

Just as he showed his head, he unexpectedly found a Magic Missile already whistling toward his hiding place.

"Some skill, I've been discovered."

Overlord Divine Bow wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.

"It's just a Magic Missile, the most basic Spell skill. Can it actually kill me?"

Overlord Divine Bow thought for a moment and became fearless. The arrows fully charged with power in his hand shot out. He wanted to see who would die first.

"Swoosh, swoosh~"

Four arrows closed in on four positions. No matter which direction Lin Yue dodged, he would receive a fatal blow, while he himself only needed to tank one Magic Missile.

Overlord Divine Bow already saw the smile of victory; he would definitely win this exchange.

"Boom!"

In the next second, Overlord Divine Bow's smile froze.

-658X2

The Magic Missile triggered a combo effect. Under the high damage, Overlord Divine Bow turned into a burst of white light and was instantly killed.

"How is that possible!"

Before he died, Overlord Divine Bow looked at White Emperor with a face full of horror. His arrows had also hit the opponent.

-217

-212

Two out of four arrows hit. Only now did he realize that the opponent's health bar had only dropped by a tiny sliver.

Scratching!

The fatal blow he was so proud of was actually just scratching the opponent.

A white light flashed, and Overlord Divine Bow disappeared back to the Novice Resurrection Altar. Seeing that he had dropped a Rank and even lost a piece of equipment, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this person? One Magic Missile dealt nearly two thousand damage?"

Overlord Divine Bow felt his worldview collapsing. Forget an Archer with five hundred health like him; even a Warrior with a thousand health couldn't tank that.

"Guild Leader, I encountered a Rank 8 Mage while stealing a boss in the Gloomy Forest. He one-shotted me with a single Magic Missile. The key is that his health is probably over forty thousand."

Having dropped a Rank and lost equipment, as an Advanced player of the guild, Overlord Divine Bow had to report it.

"What's the opponent's name?"

The Guild Leader's message came back instantly.

"White Emperor!"

...Deep in the Gloomy Forest.

Lin Yue looked at Overlord Divine Bow's corpse expressionlessly and picked up the equipment. He wouldn't let anyone from the Overlord Guild off; he would kill every one he saw.

"Is that all? And he dared to steal a boss from me?"

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!"

Feng Yun, Young Master Leng ran out eagerly, his shock plain to see.

"White Emperor Boss, how did you do that just now? You could hit him accurately even when he was in the dark?"

Lin Yue's miraculous Magic Missile completely stunned Feng Yun, Young Master Leng. That play just now was simply divine.

"Just a prediction."

Lin Yue said indifferently and continued killing the boss.

During the brief respite, the Shadow Cat Demon King had used a recovery skill. Its remaining five thousand health had now risen to thirty thousand.

But Lin Yue wasn't in a hurry; it would just take one more minute.

A minute later, with an unwilling howl, the Shadow Cat Demon King could not withstand the power of the turret and was killed.

"Ding, you have killed the Shadow Cat Demon King across Ranks. Experience +10,000."

"Ding, you are the first player to kill a boss. Do you want to make a server-wide announcement? Do you want to hide your name?"

"Server-wide announcement, don't hide it."

It was just a first kill; it wasn't enough to make Lin Yue hide.

He wanted to become famous and let everyone know the name of White Emperor so he could proceed with the next step of his plan.

If he wanted to create the world's number one guild, he couldn't do it without some influence.

"System: Congratulations to player White Emperor for the first boss kill! Reward: free attribute points +50, Class Skill Book +1, Class Weapon +1, Gold Coins +10. May all players keep up the good work!"

"System: Congratulations to player White Emperor for the first boss kill! Reward: free attribute points +50, Class Skill Book +1, Class Weapon +1, Gold Coins +10. May all players keep up the good work!"

"System: Congratulations to player White Emperor for the first boss kill! Reward: free attribute points +50, Class Skill Book +1, Class Weapon +1, Gold Coins +10. May all players keep up the good work!"

Three System announcements shocked all the players in the server. Everyone remembered a player named White Emperor at this moment.

The corners of Lin Yue's mouth curled up slightly. The rewards for the first kill are indeed great!"
