”Haah! Die, brat!”
Death Shade's furious shout echoed in the ninth floor of the Devil Spirit Hall. His b.l.o.o.d.y longsword was raised and quickly came down, aimed at my chest!
”Careful!” Lin Yixin hurriedly turned toward me.
I pulled the Ghost Ice Soul quickly back to my chest, moving back slightly and immediately activating the Guard skill!
Clang!
When the boss's sharp blade and Ghost Ice Soul collided, sparks flew, and forced me to take several steps back!
Beep!
Combat Log: Death Shade Sagelight used “Thunder Slash”, dealing 2284 damage. You used “Guard”. Damage reduced by 74%. Damage taken: 594!
……
Lin Yixin's mouth widened. ”d.a.m.n, your aggro is reset. Lu Chen, you horrible person...”
The boss quickly changed targets, its sword sweeping toward Lin Yixin. A basic attack struck the beauty's shoulder and took away 1200 points of health. Obviously, Lin Yixin lacked powerful Defense-boosting skills like Ghost Deity Armor, so she was at a severe disadvantage when it came to her survivability.
I took several steps back to pull 5 yards away from the boss. I quickly activated the Charge skill. Whoosh. Like an arrow, I pinned the boss to its spot. I swung the Ghost Ice Soul repeatedly, Ice Ray followed up with Slayer Slash finally returning the aggro to me. Lin Yixin had a hard time tanking the monster.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Murong Mingyue's healing was the greatest support for us. With the addition of potions, I could fight this Level 80 Dark Gold Rank boss to a standstill. However, the boss defied our expectations!
……
”Quick, the boss only has less than a third of its HP!” Murong Mingyue said excitedly. ”Lu Chen, Beauty Lin, work hard. In five minutes, you will get the Divine Martial Token, and maybe a Dark Gold–grade item!”
I looked at the boss's longsword and said with a smile, ”Heh, if the boss's sword would drop, that would be great...”
”Do you have such good moral standing?” Lin Yixin glanced at me.
”Hmph hmph, just watch!”
After I finished speaking, Death Shade suddenly raised its arm, now s.h.i.+ning with b.l.o.o.d.y red light as he looked up into the sky and chanted, ”The fallen black purgatory, please obey my summon. Absorb the strength of the purgatory spirit, heal wounded limbs. In the name of Death Shade Sagelight—Tenacity of the Dead!”
Whoos.h.!.+
A pillar of red light fell from the sky and landed on Death Shade's forehead. In the next moment, his HP suddenly rose—
+45000!
……
”d.a.m.n!”
Murong Mingyue gaped. ”Recovering 25% HP in one go, what is this? This... isn't this Tenacity of the Dead skill too OP?”
Lin Yixin took a deep breath and looked toward me. ”What to do?”
I gritted my teeth and said, ”Forge onward! We have enough Rank 6 Health Potions and Magic Consumables. This Tenacity of the Dead must have some restraints and can't be used continuously. Also, Yiyi, look at the boss's MP; it has less than a third left. Mobs can't recover MP, so let's see how he heals himself once he has none left!”
Lin Yixin smiled. ”Alright!”
We continued to kill. It was extremely dangerous and Death Shade's two blows almost killed me instantly. Fortunately, I had used the Blood Skeleton Card and my HP had increased by 15%, reaching 3800. Even if the boss still had a big deadly attack up its sleeve, I could still survive. Also, with the powerful healing of Murong Mingyue, it would be hard to die!
Clang!
The Guard skill could greatly weaken the physical attacks of the boss. If the boss used a skill, I would block it. Otherwise, if it hit me with a skill and was lucky to get a critical hit, I might die.
Lin Yixin felt wronged when she saw this. ”Sob sob, I've been trading in Floating Ice City for three days, and haven't yet found a defensive skill book, I hate this...”
I smiled. ”If you want to buy a defensive skill, remember to also get Crus.h.i.+ng Blow. This way, when you are facing other players with defensive skills, you will be invincible.”
”Mn!”
As we fought, we found that the boss had not used Tenacity of the Dead all this time. Our opportunity seemed to have arrived!
Lin Yixin glanced and said with a smile, ”Just now, when the boss was using the Tenacity of the Dead, its MP seemed to have been halved so this Tenacity of the Dead skill sacrifices 50% MP in exchange for 25% HP. Lu Chen, let's fight quickly, and get the boss's sword for you!”
”Okay!”
As we fought, there was suddenly a beep. Murong Mingyue sent a message: ”Lu Chen, Beauty Lin is willing to kill the boss for us for free, and without even wanting the Divine Martial Token. How about we give the boss's experience to her? This way, we show our sincerity, no?”
I smiled and nodded at Murong Mingyue, silently agreeing. She smiled at me, and continued to fight the boss!
……
Soon, Death Shade's HP once again was less than a quarter. He appeared on the verge of dying. We didn't have to worry that he would heal again. Lin Yixin's judgement had been correct. The boss had lost the ability to recover.
