Chapter 21 – Meeting the Cloud Dragon Gang once again (1/2)

Damn, more people are here. Fatty had an internal struggle in his heart. Then, he made up his mind when he saw the low health bar of the boss.

“Add me to your party. We’ll kill the boss together. The drops goes to whoever gets them,” Fatty said to Liu Lan.

“Alright,” Liu Lan quickly added Fatty to their party.

Many Skeletal Knights had already respawned on the map during the previous half an hour. Since the boss was deep in the cavern and behind a stalagmite, it had yet to be spotted by the newcomers.

“I’ll pull the boss over here. You keep tanking. Girlie, you continue to cast your fireballs,” Fatty whispered. Although he didn’t hold much hope for Darksnow’s small fireballs, it was better than nothing. Every tiny bit mattered, and it may just be that tiny bit of damage that makes the difference.

Boom. Fatty lured the boss over very cleanly, then hid behind Liu Lan. Liu Lan stood in the front and met the boss’s Charge.

-489

Just a single bow caused Liu Lan’s health to reach critical values. Due to the three seconds stun of the skill, she stood still without moving, causing her face to drop. Then, the moment the duration of the stun was over, she immediately took out a large red potion and chugged it down.

However, each large red potion was only able to heal the user by 100 HP per use. It was truly far too little, so when the boss auto-attacked her, her health bar had reached rock bottom.

“I’m done! I can’t tank it anymore,” it was very tough for Liu Lan to tank a boss 10 levels higher than her without any healers in the team.

“Bis Sis Lan, hold on just a bit longer. The boss is nearly dead!” Darksnow cheered her on heartlessly.

Coil!

Fatty made use of the ten seconds bind to use Combo Attack on it, drawing the aggro of the boss, and began to run to a distance.

“Hurry and heal up!”

Liu Lan nodded, then began to chug down another large red potion, which she was normally reluctant to use.

“If I’d had a bit more gold coins to learn Guard, then I definitely wouldn’t have ended up in such a terrible state!” Liu Lan grit her teeth.

“F*ck, someone’s killing a mob here!” Due to Fatty’s actions being quite a bit louder, they were instantly noticed by the newcomers.

“Hurry up. Motherf*ckers, don’t let them take it, it’s a boss!” a familiar voice rang out in the area.

However, Fatty had no time to consider who it was, since the boss’s attack had reached him.

Zing. Fatty quickly lured the boss back over to the female knight.

Liu Lan gritted her teeth and tanked the heavy attack with one hand, while continuing to hold another potion to chug down. She was able to forcefully tank a few hits as long as the boss didn’t use any abilities, but she needed Fatty to draw the boss’s aggro every now and then.

Coil!

Fatty immediately used the ability the moment it was off cooldown. A huge silver python appeared out of thin air and coiled itself around the boss.

“This really isn’t a battle humans can win,” Liu Lan smiled wryly.

“Hurry up, it has less than 10% HP remaining!” Darksnow exclaimed.

Since there were people rushing over, the three did not chitchat. Liu Lan immediately rushed back over to tank the boss, while Fatty sought out opportunities to attack.

Meanwhile, Darksnow also casted her small fireballs like a madwoman, most likely because it was the first time she had actually seen a boss monster.

The boss’s weapon glowed with an azure light, signaling that it was going to activate Charge once more. Fatty immediately cried out for his partners to dodge before leaping to the side himself.

Liu Lan also jumped to the side, leaving Darksnow standing idiotically in the path of the boss monster as she continued to attack it.

“Get away!” Fatty shouted urgently. Seeing that she wasn’t going to be able to do so in time, he quickly leaped backwards and pushed Darksnow underneath him.

Boom. The boss’s lance pierced an area above their heads. The entire room began to tremble as countless pieces of rocks fell down, causing Darksnow’s HP bar to drop drastically.

“Ahhhh…” Darksnow’s high-pitched shriek caused Fatty to feel like his eardrums were going to burst.

“That was way too exciting!”

Fatty was completely speechless when he saw Darksnow’s face flushing red in her excitement.

“Damn, it’s a boss. It’s the Knight Commander. Hurry up guys. The Cloud Dragon Gang’s taking over. Everyone else move, otherwise, die!”

Oh look, it’s my old friends. Fatty chuckled to himself when he heard the newcomers announce their arrival. Then he looked at the boss as if he was staring at a beauty.

Poison Fang.

Combo Attack.

Auto attack.

Fatty nearly used up all his strength to cause the boss monster’s health to drop down like a rock.

“Charge!” Liu Lan shouted and activated her skill.

Fortunately for them, the abysmal stun chance actually proc’d, causing the Knight Commander to stand still without moving.

“Fireball!” Darksnow launched another fireball with a clench of her teeth. However, just like before, it could only deal a pitiful ten-odd points of damage.

Less than 5% to go! Another Poison Fang and Combo Attack rotation should do the trick!

“F*ck you! Money Grubber, you bastard, it’s you again!” The Cloud Dragon Gang had gotten a lot closer. When Cloud Dragon Sailing saw the person who “stole” two other boss monsters from him, he instantly gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

Wow, this prick leveled up quite quickly. I guess he came to do his class enhancement mission as well.

“Kill him!” Cloud Dragon Sailing pointed forward. A series of small fireballs soared through the air and landed on Fatty, causing his health to drop very low.

System Notification: You were attacked by Cloud Dragon Windwielder. -20 HP

System Notification: You were attacked by Cloud Dragon Rumblesea. -25 HP

…

F*ck, thank god the mages didn’t get their class enhancements yet! Fatty cursed silently. Then, he crouched down and crawled underneath he Knight Commander’s horse’s belly to get to the other side as he chugged down some potions to replenish his health.

Poison Fang!

The Knight Commander’s already horrifying face turned a hint of green once again. It howled loudly, then stabbed downwards with its lance, causing the ground to shatter. Every single player within a ten meter radius of it began to lose health.

It activated its ability Tremor, a knight-only area of effect skill with an attack radius of 10 that causes all attacked damages to instantly lose 200 HP.

“Hurry up, it doesn’t have much health left!” Fatty yelled urgently, then leaped over with his dagger.

“Charge!” Since the cooldown had ended, Liu Lan activated the ability once more.
