Chapter 172: Boss Doesnt Want to Hear You Joke; Boss Used Body Slam (2/2)

How did these fools come up with a gacha roll system without being taught?

Finding himself rather apathetic about the Players just then, Xi Wei decided to keep an even closer eye on the Players’ private lives.

Soon, after dividing the loot, the Players continued forward along the winding and crooked swamp fishmen map, ending up at the banks of a massive lake deep within the marshes.

Winter had just passed recently but there were no signs of the lake having frozen over, with many aquatic plants growing beneath the crystalline surface.

Several Aquatic Angels summoned their familiars to have them help scout the lake, but they were sea creatures unaccustomed to freshwater, and fled ashore soon enough.

Eventually, the ever-sinister Marni made the suggestion to have the Aquatic Angels summon some rotted mackerels, stingrays, and seals (which also begs the question of why those things were labeled as sea monsters and were in the list of summonses) and dump them all into the lake.

In no time at all, a jet of water shot out into the skies from the lake as a colossal figure breached the surface.

But although Xi Wei had expected that the Final Boss the Players had run into was something like a Swamp Hydra, he didn’t expect that the king of the lake was a Marsh Drake!

And it was utterly infuriated by the Players’ littering into its lake, firing a jet of water that swept across the entire lake!

“Get down!” Marni promptly yelled.

Aside from several Players who had substantial HP and high defense, every other Player who could not react in time were all insta-killed by the Marsh Drake’s display of power.

Then, as Marni looked up to find that he was still alive, he could not stop himself from beaming. “Hoho! I’m finally not the first to die!”

Nonetheless, the Marsh Drake seemed to take the look on his face as a provocation, and insta-killed him as well with a mouthful of spit.

While the flustered Clerics tried to resurrect the insta-killed Players, the others mounted a tentative assault on the Marsh Drake. The long distance, however, meant that there was almost no damage dealt at all.

“Dare you come ashore!?”

The well-rounded Terrosche taunted the Marsh Drake, before turning towards his bro beside him. “Quick, you have to taunt it to come ashore!”

“Should I… tell a joke?” Silva asked slowly after hesitating for half a beat.

The Marsh Drake clearly didn’t—it simply dove into the water, and in just a split second its massive body shot out of at the lake banks like a torpedo!

“I’ve been waiting for you!”

Terrorsche was delighted instead of stunned, spreading his arms as he cried out sonorously. “Suplex!”

And yet, his infallible grappling technique failed—the Marsh Drake’s gigantic body simply crushed him as it moved along, flattening Terrosche into a cookie.

“Tsk! How could we fight it if it stays invulnerable?!” Silva exclaimed just before the beast swallowed him whole.

Meanwhile, in his divine kingdom, the surface of Xi Wei ball had wrinkled.

Unlike the Players, he already realized that it wasn’t invulnerability, but a divinity aspect which resisted all Rule of Skills to a certain extent!

The Marsh Drake actually had the divine attribute!
