Chapter 18 – Class Enhancemen (2/2)

He hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth and jumped down.

Ding.

System Notification: You have entered Mass Graves Level 2.

This floor was filled with some skeletal lancers. They had slightly higher attack than skeletal soldiers, but not enough to catch Fatty’s attention. However, since they were aggressive monsters, he needed to be careful since getting attacked by a dozen or so would end his life.

Skeletal Lancer

Level: 15

Attack: 80 – 95

Defense: 50

HP: 700

Notes: A warrior who died on the battlefield. His inextinguishable soul of battle revived it, allowing it to become a spooky skeleton to wait for the chance to step onto the battlefield once more.

The entire second floor was like a messy and irregular box. Corner and cracks were everywhere. Fatty looked around and finally found a crack that was a meter something wide. He squeezed himself into it, allowing him to only need to deal with two lancers at most at any given time.

He picked up a femur that someone accidentally dropped, then threw it towards a skeletal lancer.

Throw.

-50.

It was a decent amount of damage. After all, it was a skill that Fatty had never actually used much after getting it.

The skeletal lancer charged towards Fatty with slow and steady strides with its rusted spear in hand.

Fatty blocked the attack, then activated Combo Attack once more.

-120

-110

-100

Three numbers rose up from the lancer’s head, signaling that Fatty had dealt half of its maximum HP as damage. Seeing that, Fatty chuckled, then picked up another piece of bone from the ground to lure another lancer over. Since Skeletal Lancers were slow and didn’t have particularly high attack, Fatty didn’t have any trouble fighting two at once.

While other lancers were drawn over by the commotion, the place Fatty chose walled off the three other possible directions in which he could be attacked, leaving only the area right in front of him.

After killing monsters for quite a while, Fatty did manage to get several drops, including something for him to replace his Leg Guard of the Rooster, the only common equipment he had equipped. However, he still didn’t find the Skeletal Spark he needed to complete the mission.

“I guess there’s nothing here,” Fatty thought about it for a moment. The first floor had level 11 soldiers, the second has level 15 lancers, so the third floor should have some sort of cavalry or something around level 19 or 20.

Level 20, that’s acceptable.

With that, Fatty barged his way through the skeletal lancers surrounding him and quickly wandered around the second floor. However, he was unable to locate the entrance to the third floor.

What’s going on? Fatty went back into the crack he used to hide and frowned. Could there be only two floors to Mass Grave? That doesn’t make sense.

Creak. Crack. Then, Fatty heard a strange sound. He looked over at the dense swarm of skeletons and saw a slightly larger one appear.

It’s torn armor and lance shining with a cold light clearly marked it out as different.

Skeletal Centurion

Level: 20

Attack: 110 – 135

Defense: 75

HP: 850

Skill: Thrust

Notes: A warrior who died on the battlefield. His inextinguishable soul of battle revived it, allowing it to become a spooky skeleton to continue holding the position it had in life.

No wonder. So I have to kill the boss before the entrance to the third floor appears.

Fatty picked up a rib from the ground and tossed it towards the Skeletal Centurion.

-30

It shouldn’t be too hard.

Creak.

The Skeletal Centurion was infuriated with Fatty’s provocation. It gripped its lance with both hands, while weapon shone with a green light.

The Skeletal Centurion used its prided ability – Thrust.

Boom. The green light covered the entire lance. As the Skeletal Centurion charged towards Fatty, the lance pierced through everything in its path. Countless bones flew into the air, many skeletal lancers turned into skewers on the Skeletal Centurion’s lance.

Fatty was unable to dodge in time, causing the blow to land right on his chest.

-209

Shit, I was nearly one shotted. Fatty was shocked. He immediately gulped down a red potion, allowing his health to stabilize back at 50%.

Combo Attack!

Fatty charged out bravely from the crack while the boss’s skill was on cooldown and used Combo Attack on it, followed by Coil, before activating Poison Fang as well.

Whoosh. The Skeletal Centurion’s health bar dropped by a chunk, while its bones turned green. It was clear that it was successfully poisoned.

Fatty paced himself carefully and attracted the attention of some nearby skeletal lancers.

Half a minute later, the Skeletal Centurion’s green bones gradually returned to normal, while its health finally stopped dropping at around 50%.

Fatty used Combo Attack once more, followed by few normal attacks, dropping another 10% of the Skeletal Centurion’s health. At that point, Poison Fang’s cooldown had ended, so Fatty immediately used it on the boss once more.

Fatty couldn’t help but laugh loudly as he watched numbers repeatedly pop up from the green skeleton’s skull. Lord Fatty has even killed a level 20 yao boss, so there is nothing I have to fear from a puny level 20 one like you.

As Fatty beat down two skeletal lancers around him, the Skeletal Centurion’s health dropped below 10%. Just as he held his dagger and considered where he should attack, a flash of red light shot towards the boss.
