Chapter 329 - Bladeheart And Lina Vs. The Weapons Of Pride (II) (1/2)
If not for the provoke skill of King Goliath, this wouldn't be so hard, to be honest. I have a few skills that can ignore defense but it's not worth it since King Goliath seems to be absorbing all the damage alone and if he ever gets damaged, Queen Glass proceeds to heal him. I may not be able to see their HP bar but seeing some of the healing effects from the undead, it is clear she is healing King Goliath.
The only thing I wanted to do for this run to finish smoothly is to kill Queen Glass before King Goliath. All of our attacks land on King Goliath so if that is the case, the way for us to proceed is to kill Queen Glass before going to King Goliath or we will be stuck in an endless loop. It would have been great if there are magic spells or attack skills that can disable or ignore provoke but there isn't anything like that at all.
”Master, there are no gaps in their defenses and whatever attacks I use whether it is a homing skill or a locked-on skill, the king with the shield always catches the attacks without fail!”
”Did he get any significant damage after your attacks?”
”They did but the Queen was quick enough to heal it. I managed to avoid the counter-attacks too but it's getting harder to dodge them as they get faster too,” Lina explained.
I can see the frustration in Lina's eyes.
If that is the case, we can't just make it simple, I have to brute force this and let Lina assist in the process. Now that I know how all of our attacks go straight to King Goliath, then I will make sure King Goliath can't cast the Provoking skill he has.
”Lina. Try attacking the queen once I started to batter up the king with attacks. Don't worry if your attack lands on the king, just keep on trying.”
Lina nodded and assumed battle stance once again. As for me, I headed straight to King Goliath and changed my weapon into a Magic Sword. Unleashing the [Flaming Sword] and [Electric Sword] together, I slam it down straight to King Goliath in which he immediately blocks with his shield. The Perfect Counter takes a while. And although it takes a while, it charges up, meaning, the more we attack King Goliath, the more charges he can rack up.
I bash his shield with my attack forcing him to keep on blocking me. As soon as I noticed a gap, I didn't hesitate to use it and stab my sword at it. Of course, King Goliath will block and this time, he didn't use the shield but used the spear.
PENG!
”You thought I will just be using the sword?! A big f*ck you!”
The moment he blocked the sword, I changed the form of my sword into a gun and pull the trigger.
BANG!
The bastard didn't expect my move and staggered after receiving a powerful bang in the gun. But I can tell that it barely did any damage. But I made sure that it is a special bullet and it is due to the effects of [Russian Roullete]. Of course, I made sure that the attack can at least deal with something to him before it can be healed by the Queen. The debuff will also be random and I don't know what debuff he will receive but I needed to make sure he will die.
-you have inflicted [Curse][Moderate!]
I grinned when I saw the message. [Curse] debuff will not be easily healed unless you are a full fledge cleric. I know Queen Glass is not a cleric. And [Curse] debuff can only be cleared by a cleric or an item, [Holy Water].
King Goliath started to charge his shield for a counter. I quickly changed my weapon into a spear and shield and barely managed to stop it as the attack hit the shield with a dull thud. It was strong enough that even though I managed to guard it, I still lost quite a bit of HP and I was moved away from King Goliath in the process. But thankfully, you can still survive and not die in one hit.
After drinking one bottle of potion, I rush forward again to King Goliath, and this time, I didn't ditch the shield form and continue to charge forward.
”YAAAAAAH!”
