Chapter 58 (1/2)

Of course, the Undead General had such thoughts because he was competent himself.

Dark Evil General Rodey: Level 45 (Death Guard)

Health Points: 423,200/423,200

…

Dark Evil General Rodey was a Level 45 existence. Liu Ming could tell that even though he was not at the level of a Hegemon, his strength was still far beyond Boss-level Leaders of the same level, judging by his Health Points that exceeded 420,000.

In fact, with Dark Evil General Rodey’s strength, he would not be easily defeated in a head-on battle with a weak Level 50 Boss-level Leader. Such an existence naturally had the right to be condescending to a ‘greenhorn’ like Liu Ming, who was only above Level 30, and not take him seriously.

Dark Evil General Rodey ignored Liu Ming, not bothered to talk to Liu Ming any longer. He immediately raised his spear and charged at Liu Ming.

However, Dark Evil General Rodey—who thought he could take down Liu Ming at will—suffered a minor loss during his first exchange of blows with Liu Ming.

The spear in the Dark Evil General’s hand trembled a little and turned into dozens of black spear shadows that darted towards Liu Ming.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ming refused to show any weakness and simply swung his sword at the Dark Evil General.

The sword and the spear shadow collided, creating a gentle sound. At the same time, a blinding ray of light lit up from Liu Ming’s sword, immediately dazzling and blinding the Dark Evil General’s eyes.

No. In fact, in addition to the additional ten seconds of blindness, the Dark Evil General was also affected by an additional burning status effect—shown in the information bar below him.

…

Burning: Every three seconds, the target will sustain a certain amount of damage at 35% of the base Attack Value. The effect can be stacked five times at most and will not be affected by any damage-reducing Stats other than Burn Resistance. Duration: 30 seconds.

The base Attack Value was the value that did not include the player’s Attacking Power after using a supplementary Skill.

Besides, Liu Ming’s base Attacking Power had long gone beyond 4,000 points. Even without supplementary Skills like Holy Blessing, Liu Ming would be able to make his opponents lose more than 1,000 Health Points with each attack.

In reality, the burning effect was a hidden effect Liu Ming had developed from his own Core Skill, Solar Swordsmanship.

Each Core Skill had its own special Stat. The higher the Core Skill’s level, the more impressive the Stat would be. Solar Swordsmanship’s special Stat was ‘Sun’s Flames.’

Liu Ming had just made contact with the Core Skill. Thus, his Solar Swordsmanship did not have many effects other than blinding the enemy and supplementing him with the Fire Stat.

However, if Liu Ming’s opponent was a creature that feared sunlight the most, such as undead creatures, Liu Ming would still be able to activate some effects that had not appeared yet. Placing the Dark Evil General in a burning state was one of them.

When considering Liu Ming’s current level, it would be impossible for him to place his enemy in a burning state every single time. However, Core Skills did not consume any Magic Points or have a cooldown.

If a single slash of his sword did not work, he could just slash the enemy a few more times. Eventually, one of the strikes would induce a burning state.

This time, the Dark Evil General was clearly out of luck as he was struck right after their weapons collided.

Upon seeing the Dark Evil General blinded and set ablaze, Liu Ming immediately took advantage of the situation to launch continuous attacks at him without hesitation.

After suffering a series of attacks, the Dark Evil General’s burning state stacked five times. All of a sudden, Rodey’s Health Points decreased by nearly 80,000 points from his original 400,000-plus HP.

Actually, if it weren’t for the fact that Liu Ming saw that his opponent was about to recover from his blinded state, he would probably slash Rodey a few more times.

After regaining his vision, the Dark Evil General immediately felt ashamed and infuriated. Gritting his teeth, he said to Liu Ming, “Kid, you forced me to do this.”

After he finished speaking, waves of black air appeared around the Dark Evil General.
