Chapter 48: Unrivaled (2/2)
Xu Yang was slightly shocked and said with a smile, ”Is a red name the characteristic of the b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries?”
Gui Guzi smiled darkly. ”Giant, your flesh must be very hard, and difficult to chew...”
Xu Yang raised his sword. ”I can only apologize for the texture!”
Du Thirteen and I laughed. Murong Mingyue said, ”Let's focus on the matter at hand. Come, let us leave. The boss is in a small mountain pa.s.s in Frost Forest. Let's get there before other people arrive!”
”Yes!”
Our group of five left Floating Ice City. Xu Yang said, ”We have four offensive players. We should take a tactician along. Their Encouragement and Iron Wall buffs would come in handy...”
I shook my head. ”No need for that. 5% attack power is not necessary. We'll just go and kill the boss!”
”Alright!”
We entered Frost Forest. This time, the five of us formed a team, and a relatively strong one. Gui Guzi had reached Level 30, and learned Undead Knight's Level 30 skills. He should have become much stronger. Xu Yang was a violent warrior. Murong Mingyue's equipment was pretty complete, so her healing output wouldn't be bad.
As we neared the mountain pa.s.s, we saw some players leveling up nearby. Xu Yang grew anxious and shouted, ”Let's go, the boss is just ahead! Don't let someone else steal it!”
I nodded and pulled out the Weeping Fire Blade with a clang. I sprinted with Gui Guzi and Du Thirteen following behind me in a triangle formation.
”We're here!”
Hidden between the trees was a boss monster holding a spear, his red eyes fixed on our party.
Xu Yang rejoiced. ”Luckily, those people haven't found the boss. Otherwise, we would have failed the quest.”
I glanced at Gui Guzi and shouted, ”Start!”
Gui Guzi quickly charged forward, stabbing three times at the tree monster with his spear!
157!
176!
159!
His actions erased more than five hundred of the boss's HP. Xu Yang's eyes were wide as he murmured, ”What a strong guy, this Gui Guzi!”
This was Death Combo, a skill of Undead Knight. Three successive attacks, each attack equal to 50% ordinary damage. As the skill's rank increased, the damage would increase as well.
The tree monster was a kind of plant-based monster. It possessed a vine-like body. Its arms were powerful and it could launch an endless onslaught of vine spears. It was an extremely powerful long-range monster. Also, this boss was top among the monsters in the forest. Level 32. It could threaten the lives of players under Level 40 like us.
Du Thirteen also went forward with his weapon and used a Heavy Slash to take less than 200 HP of the boss. His strength was clearly far from Gui Guzi's.
I arrived, my sword sweeping, feinting and attacking again. Green light wrapped around the sword hilt as the Slayer Slash crashed down!
MISS!
1500!
Murong Mingyue's mouth gaped at the first attack missing. She clearly had not expected a Top 3 expert to miss an attack. As the second attack's 1500 damage floated up, her mouth could no longer close. She clearly had not expected a human player to deal so much damage.
Xu Yang roared, colliding with the boss. The Warrior Level 30 skill, a.s.sault, had a certain chance of stunning the opponent!
Xu Yang's attack coincidentally stunned the boss. Gui Guzi and I took the opportunity to attack. In less than half a minute, the boss had lost half of its HP.
Murong Mingyue continued to swing her staff, holy light was.h.i.+ng over us, replenis.h.i.+ng our HP to full. Long time no see, but Sister Mingyue was still full of milk to feed us!
We were very smooth in our slaughter. But just as it was about to die, a group of people appeared from the woods behind us!
”Them again!”
Gui Guzi gritted his teeth. The unwelcome guests were the people from the Shadow Clan, our old enemies!
Usually, Gui Guzi and I would not even care about such shrimps. But right now, we were killing a boss. If these people interrupted our rhythm, we may be the ones killed.
Murong Mingyue was extremely nervous and asked, ”What to do?”
……
I pushed the tree monster away with a blow and said, ”Little Gui, Thirteen, continue to kill the boss. Leave these people to me!”
”But there's a dozen of them...” Gui Guzi hesitated. This guy was not worried about me. He saw potential for some PvP action, and his battle thirst couldn't be contained.
I held the Weeping Fire Blade horizontally and headed toward the members of the Shadow Clan. Behind me, the Cyanfire Cloak flapped loudly. My features turned cold, like a G.o.d of death descending onto a mortal plane.
”Hmph, how about I show you why I'm unrivaled!”
I smiled dismissively and looked at the members of the Shadow Clan ahead.
