Chapter 40 (1/2)

The Earthworm Dagger and Nocturnal Elephant Nose Boar have their first clash.

Dang!

The sound of metal clas.h.i.+ng against metal rang out. The Nocturnal Elephant Nose Boar skin is like metal. If Bai Song was still using the white grade chopper, he would not be able to damage the Nocturnal Elephant Nose Boar.

The Nocturnal Elephant Nose Boar defence against physical attack is high but its defence against magic attack is lower. Despite that, Nocturnal Elephant Nose Boar is a natural mage killer. It’s phlegm or rather mucous can be shot out very quickly, no matter how short is the chant, it will still be broken.

In <myth>, the intelligence level of the monsters has been set up meticulously. For lower intelligence monster, an MT can be used to pull its aggro then the damage dealers can kill it. But for higher intelligence monsters, unless they are being controls by taunts, their aggro will always be on the damage dealers.

Thus the technique requirement for tanks in <myth> is very high. If a myth level MT can pull a BOSS forever, the pressure on his team will be lower. This results in a saying 'A guild rank is always determined by the MT' though it is not completely correct, it is still a factor.

Bai Song glances towards Liu Jing and sighs. In this situation if he is able to pull the Nocturnal Elephant Nose Boar aggro and Liu Jing is able to do damage, this fight will be easier.

The Nocturnal Elephant Nose Boar’s magic defence is very low, but it is a pity that Liu Jing's Small Fireball flying speed is very slow. As long as the Nocturnal Elephant Nose Boar dodges slightly, the Small Fireball will miss it. To be honest, even if the Small Fireball hits the Nocturnal Elephant Nose Boar, it will not do much damage to it, but it is much better than doing nothing.

Bai Song does not have much hope for Liu Jing doing damage to the Nocturnal Elephant Nose Boar in the beginning.

Normal attack follow by Flying a.s.sault.

Bai Song successfully accomplishes this chain of attacks. Flying a.s.sault which manages to deal over 100 damage on a Lv10 elite only manages to do a pitiful 30 odd damage on the Nocturnal Elephant Nose Boar. The Nocturnal Elephant Nose Boar retreats slightly and Bai Song immediately sends out another chain of high-speed attack towards it.

The three strike creates three 'dang, dang, dang' sound. But if you listen carefully, you will be able to hear a softer echo after each 'dang'. It is because of the 1% additional damage from the Earthworm Dagger. Although he has only attacked three times, there is 6 different instance of damage dealt.

The 6 different instance of damage finally activates the special effect of the Earthworm Dagger.

Special Effect: When attacking an enemy, there is a 5% chance of summoning a small earthworm for 10 minutes to attack the enemy. (There is no summon limit for the small earthworm and no CD).

A small earthworm climbs up the back of the Nocturnal Elephant Nose Boar and starts to gnaw. As the small earthworm does very little damage to the Nocturnal Elephant Nose Boar, it ignores the small earthworm and uses its nose to attack Bai Song.

Because it has realized that it is hard for its phlegm to hit Bai Song, it directly uses its big nose to attack Bai Song. Bai Song's agility is below the Nocturnal Elephant Nose Boar, furthermore, he does not have any life-saving dodging skills and thus he got hit.

His health immediately drops by a third. This is the biggest weakness of Bai Song’s extreme thief. His health is too low. A normal thief or even those famous thieves do not dare to play like Bai Song putting most of their additional stats into agility. They will at the minimum add some points into const.i.tution.

But currently Bai Song other than the points gain from his level-up, he has not added a single point into his const.i.tution. Most of the stat points are always added to agility and a small portion is added to strength. All of the other stats are clean and they do not have a single stat added.

Bai Song did not play such kind of extreme thief in his previous life, furthermore, there are very few people who play such an extreme thief. Even the top players do not dare to try such a build because no matter how agile you are, you will not be able to dodge the large scale AOE skill that a mage can cast during their mid and late phase of the game.

An expert extreme thief's only method is to disrupt the cast when facing such kind of AOE mage. There are a lot of methods, such as using flying dagger to stun or explosives to shake them. But those expert mages are no vegetarians, thus there are all kinds of equipment and skills that break their chants.
