Fatal Shot

Chapter 598: The Sniper’s Disadvantages

As Feng Luo was at the Nine-Star Guild previously when they were raiding the first base, plus as Red Queen seldom made moves when they encountered monsters along the way, Feng Luo did not realize before the uniqueness of this Energy Converter in her hands.

But now, Feng Luo had to reevaluate Red Queen.

The fact that plants were vulnerable to fire, but a skill with such lasting damage was able to inflict such a high damage – it absolutely incisively displayed the prowess of the output ability of the Fire Manipulator, “War’s number one violent” profession.

Most importantly, it was the fact that damage coefficients had emerged above the dozen or so flowers as well.

In just two seconds, over 30% of the health of this Level 60 Commander monster had been burned away by the flames.

Looking at it as a single unit, compared to him who had awakened the Force, such an output was multiple times more powerful.

Furthermore, speaking in terms of the ability in damage effect, it was also more effective than him.

As this inter-world monster named Python Flower was a little special, it had over 20 flowers plus 10 over vines, and the health of every flower and vine was independent. Although Feng Luo was able to break both flower discs and vines with one shot, to really eliminate one Commander monster would require over 30 guns at least.

On the other hand, with just these two continuous skills, Red Queen had engulfed all the gigantic flowers and vines; taking on a Level 60 Commander monster solo.

Technically, Red Queen, with a complete Legendary-Grade Energy Converter, had a chance of performing such a feat.

Of course, saying it was solo was not accurate.

This was under the prerequisite of having Neutron Star, Big Pineapple, and Phoenix hold up their weapons and helping her take down over 10 vines that had given up on other targets and were all madly attacking her.

...

Just five seconds after, with Red Queen’s violent range skill, this extremely slow-moving Commander monster, which wanted to uproot its horizontal underground stem and escape, had been cleared of all its health.

Unluckily, this Level 60 Commander-Grade did not produce any Pet Chips.

On the ground, it had only left some manufacturing material and Energy Crystals, and a piece of Level 60 Excellent-Grade equipment.

“There’s no Chips...but who knows this Fire Manipulator, how’s her output so high?”

“Not wearing a guild insignia, should be a casual player...”

It was not just them who had encountered the Python Flower, the moment the flashbang was shot into the sky, over 10 positions of the team were being attacked at the same time.

Only tens of players had come over here.

Seeing the battle process, many of them had expressed shock towards Red Queen’s damage.

“Such monsters are too advantageous for Manipulators compared to the other professions... but luckily, this way, it’d at least be impossible for that Sniper who has awakened the Force to snatch this second Chip.”

“Indeed, this is rather good news.”

There were also players whose focus was on Feng Luo.

It could not be helped, after Feng Luo had revealed the fact that he had awakened the Force, there were many people observing him in secret, intentionally and unintentionally.

Due to the damage-creating ability Feng Luo had previously shown, and the prowess of being able to use Legendary equipment skills after awakening the Force, it had made them quickly feel the threat of Feng Luo to them obtaining the Quasi-Boss Chip.

This threat was even bigger than Invikill, as he was a star player, thus everyone knew that the nature of his Talent was not completely an attack type, and that his Force attribute was invisibility which had no help in farming monsters.

Rather, it was Feng Luo, a Sniper whom nobody knew before but who suddenly emerged from activities and had high damage, who had secured much of an upper hand in earning a Chip by having the highest Contribution.

Hence, getting the information about the monsters in this region, many people heaved sighs of relief.

“Not just the Sniper, we’ve no more chance at the second Quasi-Boss.” Of course, some people among these players thought of themselves and similarly could not avoid feeling a little disappointed.

With the uniqueness demonstrated by this second type of monster in the battle just now, both Warriors and Gunners did not have much advantage over it.

Only Manipulators could truly face them, moreover Fire Manipulators who had the ability to contain it.

This viewpoint would be even more certain when the players continued moving and arrived at the second research base a few minutes later.

The second research base was in a slightly dented field plot terrain.

Planted on this field plot were gigantic swaying flower discs with red and white spots, the numbers of which were completely unable to be estimated with the naked eye. Also swimming dark green-colored vines beneath the flower discs like venomous snakes, letting out horrifying noises like those of slithering snakes.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...”

The moment the players appeared, under the shine of the bright moonlight from the sky, countless vines on the large field plot had somersaulted into the air with dirt.

One by one, they coiled towards the players like venomous snakes. The players were instantly swallowed by the gigantic flower discs once they were pulled over.

“Heavy Armored Warriors, engage Unmovable Mountain skill! Light Armored Warriors, cut the vines! Fire Manipulators, prepare Sea of Fire, Firewalls...” As a sky full of vines charged over, Frontline Command’s voice reached the ears of the surrounding Nine-Star Guild players.

“Boom, boom, boom...”

One after another, skills of all sorts of colors started being charged up or thrown out.

“Da, da, da...”

Bullets with tails of flames were shot out or ignited. The battle had gone straight into the most rigorous, climatic section right from the start.

“Pu!”

Feng Luo, holding his Ghost Weep, cut a vine that had wrapped around his waist into two. His left hand in the Black Eagle glove grabbed onto the section that was still wiggling and tossed it into the continuous sea of fire over 10 meters from him.

He had not chosen to use a sniper rifle for the battle but chose to switch to the Light Armored Warrior profession for close-combat.

As he had predicted before, Snipers were really of not much use in this battle.

Regardless how much stronger a Sniper was, one would only be able to break at most one flower or horizontal underground stem or vine, but even these Normal Python Flower monsters of the lowest Grade had seven or eight flowers and five or six vines.

The main thing was that these flowers and vines were completely entangled together. With just a sniper rifle, one would have no way of finding all the extensions of a Spotted Python Flower even after a few minutes.

Furthermore, those horizontal underground stems that were considered weak-points were also covered by the dense flower discs. As such, it was very hard for him to use a sniper rifle to complete one kill.

Rather, with Manipulator skills, there was no need for any accuracy – Seas of Fire, Blizzards, Tornadoes, Meteorites...

One after another, Manipulator skills bloomed in this huge sea of flowers. Their visions were all a flurry with damage coefficients and Energy colors.
