Chapter 96 - King Manticore (2/2)

Sleepy Fox and a few other itnessed the scene all broke out into a cold sweat The attack had missed by just the tiniest fraction of an inch However, it was this sap—this line of demarcation—that represented the pinnacle of skill

Unlike the others, Nie Yan wore an expression of co been just a hair's breadth away fro situation was merely an everyday occurrence

“shi+eld Bash!+” Violent Waves ramgro off of Nie Yan Following i fro!」They boe values rose above its head

Meanwhile, another Fighter charged ahead and took the aggro of the other Manticore, assuring it wouldn’t attack anyone else

During all this, Nie Yan circled behind the Alpha Manticore and unleashed a chain of attacks

−78

The da the Alpha Manticore’s aggro to switch back to him However, aroar that carried an inti Shout!

The shout resulted in the Alpha Manticore i its movements Then, in response, it turned back to Violent Waves and furiously started attacking hi Shout was able to intimidate a monster for several seconds and interrupt their attack At the saro This was the bread-and-butter within the toolkit Fighters had at their disposal to pull monsters

Since the Alpha Manticore had become isolated, the battle was much easier and ended without e of spells, the Alpha Manticore was quickly, and si onto the ground, the Alpha Manticore dropped a piece of a Silver equipeon, getting a Silver equipment drop seemed a bit lackluster

They really could clear an entire Manticore den without the need for Scorching Meteor Cohly convinced Nie Yan’s skills were beyond exceptional He was an incredibly talented player Sleepy Fox really wanted to recruit hienerous conditions, but he was tactfully refused Now, since it appeared Nie Yan beco his subordinate was unrealistic, he decided the next best plan was to maintain a friendly relationshi+p

Afterward, the team proceeded to clear over a dozen dens of similar size Sleepy Fox was the first to reach Level 7 while the othereveryone else level up, Nie Yan glanced at his experience bar He was still thirty-five percent away fro this period of time, where they cleared den after den, Sleepy Fox and his tea theth +10, Balance +6 It could be considered decent and was better than the ones he had currently equipped, so Nie Yan directly took it With the events that had transpired, the other Thieves in the teae to quibble with Nie Yan over it either Regardless, by the end, the entire teaear in one way or another

Nie Yan calculated in his head From this run alone, he would receive at least ten or so silvers Although it wasn’t

Continuously eradually approached the King Manticore’s den which was located at the center of thearound with roughly sixty to seventy of them If one looked into the distance, over a hundred olden-er and significantly more muscular than the other Manticores around it This was the one and only King Manticore

“If only we had Scorching Meteor for this boss…” Sleepy Fox ret over wasting it in such a rash manner so early in the run

“No worries, the area here is big enough that we can lure the Manticores without attracting the attention of the others The only difficult part is actually killing the King Manticore It’s Lord-class,” Nie Yan said The boss’ Easy and Normal difficulty counterparts were Sub-Elites while the Hard and Expert ones were Elites Only in Specialist would the players have to confront the Lord variant of the boss

Although the Specialist counterpart was rather difficult to beat, the quality of the drops scaled accordingly with the increase in difficulty Naturally, the kind of equipment that could be retrieved from this boss was on an entirely different level than ones from its lower difficulty counterparts At the very least, an iterade would drop, and occasionally, a Dark-Gold item would drop as well Besides equipe materials, and unique consumables
