Chapter 582 (2/2)
4101!
7992!
11020!
Inconstant's eyes widened in shock and pain as he stared at those damage numbers. His Holy s.h.i.+eld X raised his Defense by an absurd amount, to the point where most attacks could barely scratch him, but my flurry skill had dealt him more than 20000 damage! This was about half of his total HP.
I wasn't able to kill Inconstant, but Burning Blade Slash was an AoE attack, and the fiery explosions had torn the fighters around him to pieces.
Bang!
I felt something smash into my chest and it made me lose 4000 HP. s.h.i.+t, it was Coldmoon Rose again. This woman was really irritating!
It was at that exact moment that I heard a dragon roar out from behind me. The image of a cyan dragon swept past me as Lu Buyi thrust out his fan and used his Dragon Vein Art again. The dragon made of cyan energy crashed into Coldmoon Rose and very nearly one-shot her!
“Hurry up and heal me…” Coldmoon Rose gasped as all the color drained from her face.
The priests around her immediately started to heal her, but Lu Buyi refused to let up. His relentless attacks kept her HP at about 25%.
That was the last straw! It was time to end this irritating farce. I suddenly stomped down on the ground with my Stormy Waves War Boots, activating War Crush to wipe out the enemies around me. I raised the Cyan Netherworld Sword high above my head, hurling it out. The 6-star Outstanding Heaven-grade weapon transformed into a whirling buzzsaw, the spinning sword drew a beautiful arc in the air as it slashed through multiple Mad Dragon players. The sword's final target was precisely Coldmoon Rose. She could only widen her eyes in shock when she realized that the beautiful blade was spinning toward her. It struck her right between her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, the deadly blade spinning through her torso with a sickening squelch. After that, it whirled back into my grasp, the blade and handle of the sword slick with blood. Tsk, tsk, that was fun!
A huge damage number popped up above Coldmoon Rose's head.
17894!
She glared at me with those wide eyes as she stumbled to the ground in the daze. Coldmoon Rose had left the stage!
And she wasn't the only one who had died. More than a few of the Roaming Dragon's retinue had been killed together with her and even Roaming Dragon himself had been hurt by my attack. If magic knights weren't so tanky, he would've ended up dying to my merciless blade as well.
Inconstant flew into a fit of rage and he thrust his spear straight at my chest. However, I easily avoided his attack by slipping to the side. Then, I crouched and jumped toward the magic knight. I thrust my right knee toward him as I soared through the air. The sharp point of my greaves smashed into Inconstant's jaw, sending him stumbling backwards. When I landed, I immediately launched a flurry of blows at him. My final blow depleted the tenacity of his warhorse and he fell right off it. His head was spinning due to my strike to the jaw and his hard fall, so he attempted to bring his s.h.i.+eld up and use his Holy s.h.i.+eld skill again. A pity that he forgot I had a skill that could utterly crush his guard.
Wooos.h.!.+
An Eight Trigrams formation appeared underneath my feet as a flaming spiral of indigo energy started swirling violently around the Cyan Netherworld Sword. It shot out like a striking viper, the fiery spiral of energy bored a hole through the magic knight's s.h.i.+eld and impaled him!
“Die!”
The spiral of energy exploded inside his chest and a huge damage number flew up above his head. A gigantic hole appeared in the magic knight's chest as he slumped to the ground like a puppet whose strings had been cut.
……
“Hahaha, that was a beautiful kill!” Lu Buyi said with a loud laugh.
I turned around and walked away. “Buyi, what the h.e.l.l are you laughing for? Let's go. The boss is already dead. It's time for us to leave…”
“Okay…”
Lu Buyi immediately realized how serious the situation was. Even though we had killed many of Mad Dragon's experts, they still had many players left. Furthermore, I only had 27% of my HP left. I wouldn't be able to keep on fighting if I didn't get any support from a healer. We really only had one choice right now, which was to retreat!
With the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf's help, the players of Waste and Burn had managed to take down the boss, but only ten of them remained. Lu Buyi flew over and kept all of the boss drops in his inventory. After that, he yelled, “Comrades, we're retreating together with Falling Dust!”
After having helped them face down the strong Mad Dragon guild, I had become the spiritual leader of this bunch from Waste and Burn. In truth, I was also their only hope.
……
As we hastily retreated, I formed a rearguard with Lu Buyi to fend off any pursuers. Roaming Dragon gritted his teeth in rage, but he was powerless to stop us from fleeing into the woods.
“f.u.c.k their mothers! Those cowards! Don't they dare to face us in the field of battle?” Roaming Dragon hissed through clenched teeth as he sat astride his horse.
A Mad Dragon player whispered to him from the side, “Guild leader, they've already taken out a significant chunk of our forces. We can't continue losing men like this. Lu Chen's Defense and HP are also way too OP. There's no way we can bombard him with long-range attacks if he hides in the forest, and we don't have enough firepower left either. There's no way that we can kill him right now. If we continue to pursue them, I'm afraid that all one thousand of us will end up dying as a result.”
“Yeah, let's retreat for now. We'll regroup at those dragon bones over there. Let's guard those Agave plants. I heard that Lu Chen only came to Windmill Forest because he wanted to gather them. Hmph, we need to spoil his plans!”
“Okay!”
……
“Please wait a moment, Brother Lu Chen!”
Lu Buyi hurriedly stopped me from leaving. He pointed ahead of me and said, “Our guild leader has revived himself and he's not too far away from where we are right now. I'll bring you over to meet him. How does that sound?”
“Okay!” I nodded my head. This place was way too far from Cyan Tiger Forest and Gui Guzi and the rest were still busy catching Cyan Tigers too, so I had no intention of asking them to come over to flatten Mad Dragon. I had no choice but to cooperate with the players of Waste and Burn. At the very least, I had to make sure that all of the healers could revive. If I didn't, I would only be able to take on two hundred Mad Dragon players at most. After all, sustain would always be melee cla.s.ses' weakness.
What's more, I really wanted to recruit Lu Buyi, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to break some bread with Waste and Burn guild's leader.
1. Inconstant's name in Chinese is 翻云覆雨. Lu Chen basically took the first word in his name and made it into his family name. This is the naming convention for Chinese names. Lu Chen's surname is actually Lu. It's also considered very impolite to mess around with someone's last name in Chinese culture.
