Chapter 50 (1/2)

AdorkableTong watched as Li Yao and Qin Fengyi finished off the last Elite. “It’s too difficult to level up, and so far, we have yet achieved half of the Exp points required for the next level!” She complained bitterly.

Listening to Tong’s complaint, ShadowDancer who had not gained much Exp points since the beginning bawled out, “I wish I could complain like that too, but I haven’t got the chance yet…”

“What are you nagging at? Go pick up the loot, now!” Tong said disgruntledly.

ShadowDancer kept silent as he did not dare to retort. He ran and searched the last corpse.

Li Yao sat on the third platform to catch a breather, and he was no longer surprised by what he was seeing anymore. “I guess it’s almost time, it’s going to be over soon, I’m so tired.”

“Big Bro, there’s one more Boss. Have you figured out how to deal with that guy?” Tong asked.

Although the Boss was a humanoid creature, its size was not small at all, it was at least twice the height of a normal High Elf and was very strong. In terms of body shape, this Boss was much tougher and stronger than the Arcane Guardian.

Perhaps, the Sunwell had caused various mutations to the creature or it could be an experimental subject from the academy. The Boss’s arms had metamorphosised and disappeared, and his arms were turned into two gigantic blades. He was sitting on the biggest seat inside the palace, with his blade arms crossed. By just looking at the Boss, everyone could feel a fierce, murderous aura exuding from his body.

Li Yao quietly studied the Boss’s information.

Ruiner

Rank: Level 12 low-level leader

Health: 88,000

Skills: Berserker’s Blade Dance, Raid, Death Strangle, Flame Seal

Spider Form: Poison Bomb, Death Web, Swing Kill, Self-destructive Spiders, Poison Sting

Li Yao was not intimidated by the list of the Boss’s skills. When compared to the previous Bosses, these were just small fries.

In the future, Bosses would become more powerful, intelligent, have higher attributes, and have more skills than the players. At the current stage, this Boss had more skills than the average player.

This was due to the Leader Template setting, and this Boss was made into a Leader. Unlike previous old online games, this Boss was more overpowered with more skills and Health.

“This Leader will not be easy to deal with, his intelligence is quite high and he cannot be defeated using the previous Boss fight methods.” Fengyi analyzed the Boss stats.

“I know, but it’s nothing, I’m just worried about another thing.” Li Yao said with a frown.

“What is it? You should spill it out so we can think of a way together.” Tong said as she tilted her head.

“You guys must’ve seen the method I used to kill the mine Boss called Skill Breaking, but the precondition to activate the Skill Break mechanism is that you have to be at least qualified to interrupt the skill. From my understanding, this so-called precondition is actually the ability to break the creature’s defense. All of you should know that when killing mobs three levels higher, our attack damage is greatly reduced. And as for mobs five levels higher, the creature’s header will have a skeletal symbol, indicating that it’s impossible for us to kill it or win.” Li Yao slowly explained.

Fengyi frowned. “Are you worried about not being able to break the Boss’s defense?”

Li Yao nodded. “That’s right, this Boss is seven levels higher and a rank above us. With that said, we will become one rank higher once we reach Level 10. The deduction I’ve given earlier was for ordinary mobs, while this guy here is no ordinary mob but a Leader. If I can’t break its defense, I won’t be able to break its skill either. Of course, I’m not so sure since this is just an inference I got based on previous information.”

“It’s simply too late to level up now,” Tong pondered in distress.

“Oh, right! If you use better equipment, your attributes will increase, which means that your chances of breaking his defense will increase too, right?” Fengyi took out a Breastplate from her backpack and handed it over to Li Yao. “This is the Breastplate I’ve exchanged for you, but it’s not as good as the skill book you gave me before.”

“It’s more than enough, this settles our previous matters.” Li Yao immediately changed into the new breastplate. His previous breastplate was a suit, but it was just a White suit. As he had changed into a lot of Green equipment, the suit’s set effect was gone. After changing into the new breastplate, his attributes had increased by a fraction.

“Big Bro, let’s settle ours.” Tong was a little hesitant when she handed over a pair of gloves. “Mine isn’t as good as Summer’s but Big Brother definitely won’t take it to heart, right?”
