Chapter 17 (2/2)

Introduction: Evil creatures mutated from gnomes. Compared to their skinny relatives, they are beyond just strong. Even a few burly men might not be their match.

…

Bear Gnome Wolf Cavalry: Level 10 (Elite)

Health Points: 3,000/3,000

Introduction: Only the tribe’s bravest Bear Gnomes can sign a contract with Jungle Wolves and become Bear Gnome Wolf Cavalry, the most ferocious of all Bear Gnomes.

…

Bear Gnome Knight Polu: Level 10 (Leader)

Health Points: 15,500/15,500

Introduction: Polu is different from ordinary Bear Gnome Wolf Cavalry. He can learn human knowledge, and has mastered many of the Raiding Knights’ Skills. He has also killed many human Knights.

…

Even the most ordinary Bear Gnome Warriors had much more HP than the insignificant bandit leaders. As for the Bear Gnome Wolf Cavalry, they were Level 10 Elites with more HP than that of the Doomsday Devotees and Father Bert.

Although Bear Gnome Knight Polu did not have as much HP as the Fusion Corpse Demon—which was also a Level 10 leader—Liu Ming could tell that he could be treated as a highly-intelligent humanoid monster from the introduction.

The combat power that could be exerted by a highly-intelligent humanoid Boss-level monster and a strong group of ordinary and elite monsters was definitely more than just their individual combat strength added up.

However, Liu Ming was filled with battle intent regarding this matter and got into a battle stance.

After seeing Liu Ming’s reaction, Bear Gnome Knight Polu immediately said, “Human… kill them all… the one who kills them… will get double… the amount of food!”

Under Bear Gnome Knight Polu’s order, the other Bear Gnomes immediately raised their axes, maces, and other weapons.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ming activated Holy Protection without hesitation and charged towards one of the Bear Gnome Wolf Cavalry.

Long-range Raid!

-742

A high damage indicator exploded from the Bear Gnome Wolf Cavalry’s head, instantly causing a large portion of its HP to be removed. However, that was not all. The unlucky Bear Gnome Wolf Cavalry and his wolf had an extra string of spinning stars above their heads, triggering the Skill’s vertigo effect.

But before Liu Ming could continue to launch more attacks, a Bear Gnome Wolf Cavalry charged out from each side of the unlucky monster in a bid to attack Liu Ming.

The damage caused by the two Bear Gnome Wolf Cavalry was insignificant to Liu Ming. However, the wolves’ impact made Liu Ming take a few steps back.

Despite having missed the chance to stab them a few more times, Liu Ming was not bothered at all. Instead, he smiled after seeing the Bear Gnomes gathering. He then activated Soul-Breaking Sword’s Skill icon.

A long energy sword that emitted endless light slashed through the night sky before landing on the Bear Gnomes hard, resulting in massive damage.

-995

-978

-1,989 (Critical Hit)

…

With Liu Ming’s current Critical Hit rate and his extremely high luck, he would basically achieve one Critical Hit in every three to four slashes.

It was alright for the Bear Gnome Wolf Cavalry. Even though Liu Ming had scored a Critical Hit, it could at least retain one-third of its remaining health bar.

Besides that, the Bear Gnome Warriors—which originally had 1,100 HP—were only left with a tiny amount of Health Points after Soul-Breaking Sword struck them once. Once a Critical Hit struck them, they would be finished.

For a while, nearly a third of the Bear Gnome Warriors became Liu Ming’s EXP.

Upon seeing such a situation, Bear Gnome Knight Polu began wailing in infuriation. “Split up… split… up! Silly…”

The group of frightened Bear Gnome Warriors finally dispersed and attacked Liu Ming from all directions.

On the other hand, the Bear Gnome Wolf Cavalries were still fearlessly charging at Liu Ming…
