Chapter 527 (2/2)

I nodded in agreement before checking the map again. Since the B2 floor was called ”Golden Dragon Domain”, it was probably where the boss named ”One-horned Golden Dragon” resided. I might've given up on fighting the boss of the B1 floor, but there was no way in h.e.l.l I was giving up the boss of this floor as well! What would be the point of coming here if I kept slipping these bosses?

I suddenly saw a flash of gold at the black plains when I looked up. Very soon, a huge and ferocious-looking beast leaped onto a small hill. It was a fearsome tiger with golden fur. It was about two meters tall, and it was incredibly muscular. It glared at us with cruel eyes, bared its fangs and bent its hind legs slightly, as if it was planning to deal a critical blow at any moment!

”WTF, what a huge and handsome-looking tiger…” Chaos Moon giggled.

I took a step forward and stared at the tiger. A second later, its stats appeared in the party channel—

Golden Arrow Tiger (Shadow)

Level: 155

Attack: 1800~2050

Defense: 2000

HP: 180000

Skills: Bite, Claw Swipe, Golden Arrow Explosion

Introduction: The guardians of the Golden Dragon Domain. The Golden Arrow Tigers possess incredible strength that terrorizes any foe at any range.

……

”This tiger is so strong…” Chaos Moon's jaw nearly hit the floor.

I gripped my sword and activated Charge. If there was one thing I figured out about this map, it was that the Golden Arrow Tigers had to die if we wanted to teleport out of the B2 floor later on. Long story short, kill the mobs to leave, kill the boss for the win.

Swhoos.h.!.+

The Golden Arrow Tiger only managed a roar before it was stunned by my Thunderous Charge. It had less Defense than the Wood Porcupines, so it wasn't as difficult to kill. A standard Universe Break + Burning Blade Slash combo later, its HP had dropped by 40%. Humiliated and angered, the tiger swiped at my Obsidian Dragonscale Armor in retaliation and dealt a sizable amount of damage—3872!

As I thought, 2050 Attack was a bit too much for me to handle right now. The Golden Arrow Tiger was a shadow-rank mob, and it also had a ma.s.sive level advantage over me. In other words, its true attack power was at least three times its Attack stat. Could you imagine how ridiculous that was? If I didn't have various damage reduction skills such as Ghost Deity Armor to protect me, I would be the one crying here.

I sliced and diced for a bit while waiting for the 6-second cooldown of Universe Break to finish. Then, I used it again. This skill was just so d.a.m.n good!

However, several howls rang above the wind, and three Golden Arrow Tigers suddenly appeared around me. The first Golden Arrow Tiger looked up and unleashed Wild Roar, empowering its kin's Attack instantly. Not only that, the effect was at least twice as powerful as my own Wild Roar. Motherf.u.c.ker! I can't believe these animals know how to buff their friends!

”Big bro, watch out!” Beiming Xue suddenly let out a shout.

My pupils narrowed into needles when I realized that the two Golden Arrow Tigers about 10 yards away from me had puffed up their hair. A small b.u.mp rose in between the bones and muscles behind their backs, condensed into a golden arrow and flew straight toward me. Is it the Golden Arrow Explosion?!

I didn't Guard because the mobs would aggro onto my party members instead. I just stood there and bore the full brunt of the attack!

Bang! Bang!

6983!

7024!

Holy s.h.i.+t, I almost couldn't believe how much HP I lost. Luckily, Pure Love had buffed me with a fifth-promotion skill called ”Physique”, boosting my max HP by 40%, so I could endure at least another round of attack before I was forced to heal myself!

”Careful, everyone! Charge!”

Chaos Moon and High Fighting Spirits charged a Golden Arrow Tiger each while Beiming Xue peppered them with Evil Spirit Volleys and Spiraling Arrow Blades. Moonlight Stone had also tossed out her Galaxy Storm. Thank goodness I had the foresight to drag our best archer, mage and bard into my party!

”Watch out for OT!” I shouted in warning.

But it was too late. Three Golden Arrow Tigers bristled in anger and started channeling their Golden Arrow Explosion again. Even worse, they were targeting our ranged players!

Whoos.h.!.+

I gathered red, circular energy around my left fist and punched the h.e.l.l out of a Golden Arrow Tiger, but I couldn't stop the other two mobs from unleas.h.i.+ng their skill!

Pu!

The archer at the farthest edge of the party ate both hits and died!

No wait, I was wrong. One of them was still on the way!

I spun around just in time to see Beiming Xue getting hit by a Golden Arrow Explosion. She had raised the Blazing Shadow Bow in front and guarded, but she still took a long, deep gash to the shoulder and lost over 12k HP in one go! The only reason Beiming Xue was still alive was because she had over 15k HP. Moreover, the level and Strength gap between her and the Golden Arrow Tiger was so huge that her Guard was a lot less effective than it could've been. She was lucky that she managed to reduce the damage taken by about 25% or so!

……

”d.a.m.n, it's a common mob on this map but is already so terrifying…” High Fighting Spirits uttered through gritted teeth.
