Chapter 543 (2/2)

.……

“Thud!”

I leaped into the cave and felt my back pressing against Moon Dew's. I made sure to put about 3 yards between me and the cave, a perfectly safe amount of distance where I could attack the Great Earth Dragon, but the Great Earth Dragon couldn't attack me.

Behind me, Moon Dew said, “Be careful, Lu Chen…”

“Mn.”

But Chaos Moon spoke up with displeasure, “WTF, why didn't you tell me to be careful? I'm… Wah! The Earth PanG.o.dragons are coming…”

“Why are you screaming? Just kill them already!”

The light of Stone Crush flashed from behind me. I swear, this girl. It takes a special kind of recklessness to use Stone Crush in a narrow s.p.a.ce like this.

The Great Earth Dragon let out a mighty roar at the cave entrance. Then, an eye the size of giant bronze bell appeared and looked straight at me.

“What are you looking at, b.i.t.c.h!”

I stabbed its eye immediately with a Universe Break!

Squelch!

42794!

Not only did I hit a weak spot, it was a critical hit too. The Great Earth Dragon immediately let out a yelp of pain, drew back and shook its head repeatedly. After it recovered itself, it started clawing at the cave entrance furiously. The big problem was that the wall was giving way before the maddened a.s.sault!

My heart sank. This is bad. I can't believe this boss can destroy the terrain as well. G.o.d dammit...

I fired a Burning Blade Slash that shook the boss' whole body and deleted a small amount of its HP. At the same time, I looked behind me and shouted, “Chaos Moon, keep killing the Earth PanG.o.dragons! We need to push deeper because the boss is literally shaving away at the cave entrance! If you keep stalling like this I'm literally going to be swallowed by the boss!”

Chaos Moon whined. “f.u.c.k, you have no idea how disgusting these Earth PanG.o.dragons are! They keep ramming their heads into my chest…”

Me: “...”

……

I kept throwing Dragon Slaying Slash after Dragon Slaying Slash at the boss. The battle was fierce, but we weren't in danger. The girls were also smart enough to give me enough s.p.a.ce to attack the boss.

“Hey, Lu Chen! Use this card…”

Suddenly, Moon Dew b.u.mped my back once before pa.s.sing over a fiery red card; a high rank offensive card—

Blaze Beast: User's attack power and attack speed is increased by 25%, and chance to inflict Burn on the target and prevent them from regenerating HP. Duration: 120 minutes. Level requirement: 120. Cla.s.s requirement: None.

……

I was stunned by how powerful the card was. “Holy s.h.i.+t, Moon Dew, where on earth did you get this? This is amazing…”

Moon Dew smiled. “Not long ago, I went on a leveling trip with Li Chengfeng, High Fighting Spirits and Gui Guzi at Dragonbone Mountain Range. It was a loot drop from a level 145 Spirit-rank boss we killed called the Blaze Beast. The boss only dropped metal armor equipment, so they gave me this as my reward. Since this is the perfect opportunity to use it…”

I smiled and gave her a nod. This Blaze Beast card lasts for two hours, and its effects were pretty amazing. The buffs were pretty powerful on its own, but it was nothing compared to the Burn effect it inflicted. a.s.suming that the effect landed, it would reduce the boss' HP regeneration to zero until its duration ran out. Everyone knows how bulls.h.i.+t a giant dragon's HP regeneration was, and this card could reduce the amount of time needed to kill this boss by 50% at least!

Swhoos.h.!.+

The icon of a red Blaze Beast appeared above my head. Alright, it worked.

My attack rhythm changed completely after applying the skill. The channeling time of Dragon Slaying Slash became lower, and my Attack was slightly higher than before. My DPS was much higher now.

Behind me, Chaos Moon kept killing the Earth PanG.o.dragons. At the center, I kept attacking the boss while moving backward. Outside, the Great Earth Dragon had transformed into an earth mover that wouldn't stop clawing away at the cave entrance until it got to me. Its claws went through the tough granite like hot knife through b.u.t.ter.

Time pa.s.sed bit by bit, and half an hour later the Great Earth Dragon's HP had dropped to 7% or so. It had unleashed its ultimate skill, Sea of Purgatory Flames multiple times during this period, but it was just wasted effort because the flames couldn't enter the cave at all.

“It's going to pop, it's going to pop…”

The two girls were positively beaming as the boss' HP continued to decrease at a steady pace.

……

Meanwhile, inside the guild channel—

Li Chengfeng: “We're taking a break at the B8 floor now. We can't progress further because there's some sort of restriction surrounding the B9 floor. Blue Sky Scar is here as well!”

He Yi: “Got it. We're currently at B7 floor, and Snowy Cathaya is killing the floor boss right now. Oh right, where are you, Lu Chen?”

Me: “We're still on the B5 floor…”

He Yi: “...”

Li Chengfeng: “Where are you and the girls right now?”

Me: “In a cave…”

Pure Love: “So, you've finally claimed them for yourself. But why didn't you take me with you…”

I cried. “I did no such thing…”
