Chapter 113 – Dragonslayers (1/2)
Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was because the Mad Bull King being smart, it always stood at the side of the traps and did not step in.
The ground was covered in blood wherever the Mad Bull King passed through. Nearly all of the pets were killed by it. The only ones remaining were the ones in the sky, the ones attacking from afar, and of course, Wheat.
“I guess we’re going to have to pay a price for this,” Fierce Dragon TheTalent muttered to himself.
“Guild Master, don’t fret. Our brothers don’t care. Every single guild needs to pay several hundred lives to kill a boss monster. Everything will be worth it as long as we get a Guild Establishment Token,” the vice guild master responded.
“But what if it doesn’t drop?”
“Then we’ll go and kill another boss monster.”
Fatty took a glance at the vice guild master with the name of Fierce Dragon Kill. The fact that his name began with Fierce Dragon meant that he was an old friend of Fierce Dragon TheTalent. IN all honesty, his suggestion wasn’t bad. Every single guild needed to suffer some loss to kill a powerful boss. Some may even pay with their entire troop. When White Horse Gang, the fourteenth ranking guild in Black Tortoise City, tried to go and kill the Phantom Messenger, every one of them died twice but still failed their mission. That was just part of the game. On the other hand, the Fierce Dragon Gang would really be investing too much into it if they were to kill the boss after hundreds of elite deaths after hiring God Familia.
“Fatty, what do you think?” Fierce Dragon TheTalent asked. Ever since the God Familia members changed their way of addressing him, everyone else he was familiar with also did the same.
“I say wait a bit more,” Fatty said after a ponder. “We’re in no hurry. What’s more, the Mad Bull King is just a bit stronger in terms of defense, it isn’t actually that much stronger than the Flame Demon and Fire Cloud King. Since God Familia managed to kill the Flame Demon; DreamButterfly and SnowPhoenix managed to kill the Fire Cloud King, we can easily kill the Mad Bull King as well.”
“Then let’s wait a bit more,” said Fierce Dragon TheTalent. If the situation doesn’t improve, then we tell our brothers to bury it.”
Meanwhile, HeadofGod blushed when he heard Fierce Dragon Kill’s suggestion. The Fierce Dragon Gang hired them with a hefty price, but if they had to suffer many guild member deaths as a price for killing the Mad Bull King, then it would be a great blow to God Familia’s reputation.
“Fuge, Pillar, LeftWing, let’s disregard all else. At worst, we’ll just lose two levels each. Seriously, we’ve pretty lost all our face!” HeadofGod called out.
Although TheFugitive was not a member of God Familia, he does act with them very often, so he did value God Familia’s reputation a lot. Hearing HeadofGod’s words, he immediately revealed himself. Instead of attacking once, then disappearing again, he skirted around the boss monster and began to fight valiantly.
Zing.
After a figure flashed by the Mad Bull King, the monster suddenly turned a shade of green.
“Oh my god, it’s finally poisoned!” LeftHandofGod let out a sigh of relief. “Today’s so shit, it took so many uses before it was finally poisoned.”
“That’s a pretty good skill!” The shade of green reminded Fatty of Frostfang, his very first silver item. It’s active skill Poison Fang was a very good skill to kill boss monsters, but it was a bit useless against high-level ones.
“You don’t know what this skill is?” LeftHandofGod exclaimed.
“Should I?” Fatty was even more surprised.
“Don’t tell me that you didn’t get your class enhancement yet,” LeftHandofGod rolled his eyes.
“Do you think I look like it?” Fatty revealed his name and pointed at the level and class displayed above his head – Level 30 Assassin.
“Seriously!” LeftHandofGod was speechless. “Why didn’t you go and get your class enhancement already?”
“I got held up with something,” Fatty said vaguely. “Is this poison a rogue skill after getting the third class enhancement?”
LeftHandofGod merely responded by revealing the skill to Fatty.
Deadly Poison: Only available to rogues after their third class enhancement. 0.1% chance to poison the target. A poisoned target loses 1% maximum health as damage per second for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 100 seconds.
“That’s damn powerful!” Fatty exclaimed. 1% MAX HEALTH! No monsters can endure that!
“But the success rate is way too low.”
10 seconds passed very quickly. The green color on the Mad Bull King flashed flickered, then disappeared. At the same time, the damage the poison dealt did offer a large amount of encouragement for everyone.
The knights had already retreated. They were of already of no help anymore. The rogues were running around the Mad Bull King in circles, and whenever the boss monster tried to focus on one of them, another would attack its behind.
While the Mad Bull King regenerated health very quickly, the God Familia attacked even quicker. Even the tiny damage added up very quickly and this was especially true when the Mad Bull King’s body was just a huge target for them.
The boss monster roared towards the sky, then stomped on the ground. God Familia quickly retreated. They had already gotten used to the Mad Bull King’s attack patterns and were no longer faltered. It was only a matter of time before they kill it.
