”What do you mean we're dead meat?! It's finally time to rake in that sweet EXP!”
I held the Heaven-stealing Sword high in the air as I controlled both my character and the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf. The Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf was way faster than the Frost Wolves, so it returned back to its a.s.signed position before they were even halfway there.
”Moon Dew…”
I stared at the approaching wolves and gave my commands, ”Don't bother healing me. Focus your healing on Chaos Moon and my pet. These Frost Wolves have a move called Explosive Ice Sweep, and it should be an AoE skill. You need to make sure that Chaos Moon and my Greedy Wolf aren't killed by it.”
Moon Dew nodded and giggled. ”Okay! Don't worry Lu Chen, leave it to me!”
”Alright!”
……
Of course I wasn't worried. Moon Dew was one of the two best healers of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. This was the main reason I pulled her into my party in the first place.
The horde of Frost Wolves came howling at us in the blink of an eye, but I didn't wait for them to draw near before engaging. I conjured an Icy Cyclone Domain as they rushed toward us, laying down another once its twenty-second cooldown was up. This way I'd have three Icy Cyclone Domains stacked on top of each other, which would provide constant damage, attack speed debuffs, and movement speed debuffs. This skill was exceedingly important to our survival while killing these mobs.
Boom!
I sent a Thousand Ice Slash whistling out, instantly causing a big group of Frost Wolves that were packed together to freeze in their tracks. More than a few of them had even been frozen solid. I swept out my sword again, unleas.h.i.+ng Burning Blade Slash at these wolves. Three huge crescents of burning sword energy exploded out of my sword and crashed into the crowd of enemies in front of me, bringing along a series of damage numbers above their heads, each number bigger than the last. I caught about twenty Frost Wolves in my attack, and I really had to say that Burning Blade Slash was a rare and exceptional AoE skill.
Four Frost Wolves pressed in toward our frontline and they pounced at us with their claws in the air. Two of them attacked me, while the other two attacked Chaos Moon and my Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf. I was perfectly fine, because the basic attack of these monsters couldn't even deal one thousand damage to me and my Heaven-stealing Sword's lifesteal effect could easily restore that amount of health.
Universe Break!
Sword Boomerang!
I used these two killer moves to supplement my damage while my other skills were on cooldown. The Frost Wolves howled in misery and even these Level 155 shadow-rank monsters seemed exceptionally frail in front of my insane firepower.
The string of Beiming Xue's Burning Shadow Bow hummed incessantly as arrows rained down on the mobs in front of us. They whistled in the air while she unleashed an endless storm of Multi Arrows, Spiraling Arrow Blades, and Evil Spirit Volleys at the pitiful Frost Wolves. The 140% attack power boost provided by my Martial G.o.d exceeded the boost provided by her Bow G.o.d so she was killing enemies with an even greater efficiency. The monsters in front of us could only wait to get bullied by Beiming Xue and they could do nothing but flee before her might.
After the Frost Wolves had been tossed about, they finally started a frantic countera.s.sault. One of the wolves even reared up in the air and as they raised their sharp claws up, these claws started to glow with an icy light. It swiped down viciously toward us, that icy light blazing violently.
s.h.i.+t, it really did end up using its Explosive Ice Sweep skill!
”Be careful!”
The Frost Wolf's claws swept across us the moment I shouted that warning. The Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf, Chaos Moon, and I were all hit by that attack. Three damage numbers instantly popped out above our heads.
1879!
6894!
7029!
The Crimson Rock Dragon Armor had really pushed my Defense to a whole new level! However, the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf and Chaos Moon's Defense still weren't quite up to the mark. They lost a significant amount of health to this Explosive Ice Sweep. What made matters worse was that a second and third Explosive Ice Sweep was hot on the heels of the first one!
It was time for our party's trial by fire! Moon Dew's staff danced in the air, followed by brilliant lights flas.h.i.+ng in the air. Heals rained down on Chaos Moon and my pet wolf as their health bars continued to fluctuate violently. They were precariously hovering at about 40% of their health, but they were still managing to ride out this wave of attacks.
Mn, the attacks of these Frost Wolves really were savage and it was no wonder that High Fighting Spirits had cried in pain after being attacked by their sharp claws.
Whooos.h.!.+
I raised my left arm and cast G.o.d Binding Art. Four divine weapons flew down from the sky as they surrounded the rightmost Frost Wolf on the frontline. This instantly reduced the pressure we were facing.
The Explosive Ice Sweeps of these Frost Wolves were a line attack and its area of attack just so happened to encompa.s.s our entire frontline. I could withstand these blows with my excellent defenses, but since Chaos Moon was just barely making it, I looked out for her safety first. Since I was the one who brought these lovely girls here, I was also responsible for bringing them back in one piece!
A brilliant cl.u.s.ter of light suddenly burst out of a ring on my finger. My Silver Dragon Ring's skill had finally activated!
Silver Dragon energy exploded out of my ring as it roared forward and exploded in the middle of the Frost Wolves in front of us. They howled in misery as the Silver Dragon Storm ripped more than a few of them to shreds
Whoos.h.!.+
A beam of golden light fell on Chaos Moon's body! She had actually leveled up!
Her eyes widened into saucers as she muttered to herself, ”This is insane. I was at 98% just a few seconds ago, but I leveled up just like that. Just killing these monsters… was actually enough to give me the remaining 2% I needed?”
I laughed and said, ”Of course it was! Do you think that these Frost Wolves are giving you the normal amount of EXP?”
Once she heard that, Chaos Moon's lips curved into a beatific smile as she continued to safely and happily farm experience points.
……
These Frost Wolves were dropping a fair number of items as they collapsed to the ground and we only had the opportunity to pick up the items that were closest to use for now. But my eyes suddenly widened when I picked up one of these items.
G.o.d d.a.m.n, there is actually a chance to farm a decent armor set in this place?
