Chapter 204 – The Beastman Team (1/2)

The Horse Specter had disregarded everything and carried the boss further and further away. Very soon, it disappeared from the players’ sight.

“Wheat, chase!” Fatty got on Wheat and quickly went towards the direction the boss ran to.

Without their boss’s lead, all of the monsters attacking the base hesitated for a moment. When they resumed their actions, it didn’t possess its original ferocity and intense momentum anymore. They were more akin to the everyday monsters that the players farmed.

“Alright. At least, we don’t have to worry about the boss for now.” Rosethorn felt the tension lifted off her heart. She then shouted, “Seize the chance to wipe out the monsters!”

Clip-clop… The Horse Specter didn’t have the word “specter” in its name for nothing. The creature galloped like the wind, cleaving a path through all kinds of obstacles in its way into the depths of the forest.

The area was soon bare of monsters because they had all been pulled into the Monster Siege army. The Horse Specter stopped here and whined nonstop. During this short period, the mount’s health had dropped to only a third left.

“Be a good boy, don’t run,” Fatty caught up with the Horse Specter and was face to face with the boss. Despite still slowly regening, the boss’s health hadn’t recovered much and was still a little above 10%.

It was unknown what kind of expression the boss was making under its helmet when facing Fatty; it only pointed its spear at Fatty.

“It’s a human-shaped boss, after all. I’d expect that it’s much more polite than your usual monsters,” Fatty muttered to himself before he vanished.

At the same time, Wheat also sank underground until it completely disappeared.

At Fatty’s sudden disappearance, the boss did not move. It only steadily held its spear and gazed forth.

Whoosh. Wheat attacked first, and a yellow light shot toward the Horse Specter.

When the light struck its target, creaking noises sounded and the victim quickly turned into a statue. Yet, the petrification was broken by the ongoing DoT injury from the lance still sticking out its butt. The horse promptly regained its freedom.

Fatty appeared right next to the Horse Specter and the Elemental Sword shrunk to the size of a dagger, stabbing at the boss’s body.

Clank. The boss easily parried the attack with a raise of its spear. At the same time, it pressed its two legs tightly against the horse’s belly, causing Horse Specter to gallop toward Fatty.

Fatty bent his leg and sprang to the side to dodge, landing on a boulder. In the instant that the horse passed by, Wheat abruptly popped out and bit at its hind leg.

Crack! This trick of Wheat’s never disappointed. The Horse Specter let out a tragic neigh as its body tilted, the hind leg was broken. Barely managing to steady itself, the horse kept whining in pain. Fatty wasn’t in a hurry to attack, though. Instead, he looked in a particular direction.

Whish. The bush parted, and a team of players appeared before his eyes.

“Friend, you’re not bad. You’ve actually led the boss all the way here.” The team leader was called TheBeastman’s GreatCommander. With two hands crossed behind his back, he arrogantly looked at Fatty, “This boss is ours; you can leave now.”

Fatty replied with a slight smile, “My old friends War Shield, War Axe, and War Lance of the Beastman Team, don’t you have anything to say to me?”

“It’s you, Money Grubber?” Three players walked out from behind TheBeastman’s GreatCommander. They shot Fatty a surprised look, before whispering something to their leader.

“Oh, so that’s him?” TheBeastman’s GreatCommander’s eyes lit up, and he turned to Fatty, “I heard that you PK’d LittleLi’s FlyingDagger in Azure Dragon City and is now the current first ranked rogue?

“It was just luck,” Fatty glossed over it and snuck a glance at the boss, whose health was still slowly regening.

“Brothers, pounce. Kill him along with the boss,” TheBeastman’s GreatCommander resolutely gave his order.

“Kill him, and no one will ever dare to mess with our Beastman Team again!” War Shield chimed in with a ferocious smile, “What top class rogue familia, we shall trample them under our feet!”

“Ignorance truly is bliss,” Fatty could only exclaim to those words from War Shield.
