Chapter 20 – Willowinthewinds (1/2)

Shrieeeek.The Skeletal Knight’s sinful life ended with a loud screech more experience points for Fatty.

He looked at his experience bar. 83%. I’m nearly Level 11 now, but I still didn’t get my class enhancement yet!

“Ahh, it isn’t easy to end up like this…” Fatty sighed. Then, he repeated his attack series of Poison Fang then Combo Attack into a few more auto attacks to send another Skeletal Knight into the happy after(un)life.

For Fatty’s current level, the Skeletal Knights with high attack and health was not a good choice of an enemy for him. However, he could only force himself to continue due to his mission requirements.

At the same time, although they were hard to kill, it didn’t put too much pressure on Fatty as long as he did it properly. As long as he hid underneath the horse, the Skeletal Knight wouldn’t be able to reach him. Then, he only needed to kill the skeletal horse. After all, could a knight without its mount even be called a knight?

What’s more, since the horse’s health bar was linked with the Skeletal Knight’s itself, killing the skeletal horse would naturally cause the knight to disperse as well. Furthermore, due to the monster levels being higher, their item drop rates also greatly increased. Thus, he managed to get a leg guard that he could sell for a high price after killing a dozen or so monsters.

Knight’s Guard

Bronze

Leg Armor [Metal]

Level Requirement: 12

Defense: 15

STR: +3

Since everybody were rather low level right now, bronze items were still rather rare equipment, especially since not everyone was as lucky as Fatty.

…

“Snowy,” a voluptuous knight walked into the creepy underground of the second level of Mass Graves with a bright smile.

“Big Sis Lan!,” Darksnow was hiding in the crack Fatty used earlier, and was killing Skeleton Lancers with fireballs. When she saw the knight, she immediately called out to her.

“Haha, watch this! Charge!” the female knight was a player who had already gotten her class enhancement. Since she didn’t have a mount yet, she could only activate Charge with a lance in her hands.

Charge was a knight skill that could only be accessed after their first class enhancement. It instantly increases the user’s attack by 30% and granted a chance to stun its enemies with a 60 second cooldown.

Cling. A bunch of items fell onto the ground.

The female knight’s attack had killed two Skeletal Lancers instantly and put several others in a critical state.

“Wow, Big Sis Lan! This is a skill you learnt after your class enhancement?” Darksnow exclaimed in excitement.

“Yeah, I used up all my gold coins just to learn this skill,” the female knight looked at Darksnow. “Why are you so excited that I learned a skill?”

“Hmmph, you’re so strong now. We can go and teach that damn fatty a lesson!” Darksnow looked up with a face showing how much of a grudge she had against that fatty.

“Seriously, he only refused to farm with you. Is there any reason for you to hate him so much?” the female knight laughed.

“Hmph, he’s the first to reject this lady. I will make him understand the price he will have to pay!” Darksnow clenched her teeth and raised her common ranked staff. “C’mon, let’s go to the third floor as well.”

Meanwhile, on the third level of the Mass Grave, Fatty felt like he was in Shangri-La. Although drawing monster aggro, killing the monsters, harvesting and picking up equipment had used up a lot of energy, he felt like he still had an infinite amount of energy remaining.

He already cleared up a large area of the third floor and the boss had already appeared. It was a muscular humanoid with tough armor, a blood red cloak and a shimmering lance that rode on top of a skeletal horse that was essentially breathing out hot air. Everything seemed to indicate one thing – that boss was damn rich.

Tap. Tap. Fatty suddenly heard some footsteps. He looked towards the entrance as he finished off a monster.

Fatty wrinkled his eyebrows he noticed two figures appeared, one after another.

“What did that girl come here for? To feed the mobs? Does she really think that having a knight to tank stuff for her makes everything fine? So naïve.”

“Huh? Where did the damn Fatty go?” Fatty was hiding underneath a herd of skeletal horses with a few wandering skeletal knights around. Surprisingly, Darksnow couldn’t actually see him.

“Alright now, he might have already left,” the female knight stepped forward and flicked out her lance to block off an attack from a Skeletal Knight.

“Dammit, don’t let me ever see him. Otherwise, I’ll never be done with him!” Darksnow waved her fist in the air.

F*ck. Seriously? I just refused to farm with you. You actually called someone here to gang up me. This girl is too vicious!

Fatty silently used Appraisal and read the information in front of him.

Willowinthewinds

Knight

Level 10

It’s Willowinthewinds! The ninth person on the leaderboard! Fatty clenched his teeth. Do we have such a huge grudge between us? You actually called such an expert over! Pfft, when Lord Fatty gets his class enhancement, I’ll definitely kill you guys until you can never level up again!

“Alright, Snowy, since he’s not here, let’s go back up. The monsters here are a bit too high level. We’ll come back here to farm once you get your class enhancement. Oh yeah, what is your mission? I’ll help you with it. Everything is much easier after getting your class enhancement,” Willowinthewinds comforted her.

“Heh, that damn fatty sure is lucky. My class enhancement mission as to kill the Skeletal Centurion on the second floor, but that damn fatty stole it!”

“Don’t worry about that. These mission monsters refresh rather quickly, it usually just takes two to three hours. Let’s wait patiently. C’mon, let’s go back up,” said Willowinthewinds.

“Ahh, alright,” Darksnow was just about to turn around, then her eyes lit up. “Ahh, a boss! Big Sis Lan! Look! It’s the boss! I’ve never fought one before. Hurry up! Let’s kill it!”

You two are going to try and kill a boss monster nearly twenty levels higher than you? Tsk. Fatty snickered, then continued to hide underneath the horse.

“Snowy, I don’t think just the two of us can do it,” Willowinthewinds wanted to try as well, but after a brief consideration, her rationality won her over.

“Why not? I saw that damn fatty have a super easy time killing the boss on the second level. Big Sis Lan, can you not even match that damn fatty now that you’ve gotten your class enhancement?” Darksnow asked.

Ugh. Can these two bosses even be compared?
