Chapter 225 – Hunting Down a Celestial Boss (1/2)

Farming the Earth Dragons took a day, and building the Plenilune Ballista took another half a day. Fatty had roughly ten days left until the unicorn mission expired.

Ten days, not too short, but not long either. Traveling from the Imperial Capital to the black isle in the Cloud Ocean alone already cost Fatty four days.

This sounded terrifying, and in truth, it was terrifying. The distance between the two locations was seriously lengthy even when the Earth Dragon ran at its full speed. If he were to ride Wheat, Fatty would have to waste another half day on the road.

There was a clear threshold between Gold bosses and Yao bosses, and an even bigger threshold between Yao and Celestial ones. If it wasn’t for the Dark Unicorn being a depraved and weakened version of the Holy Unicorn, Fatty wouldn’t dare to provoke them all by himself.

Plenilune Ballista

Violet equipment

Attack: 1300 – 1800

Defense: 1500

Notes: Has an attack range of 1,000 meters. The power of this ballista is increased several times when used in a City Siege.

Bolt

Violet tool

Attack: 200 – 280

Notes: Reusable, prone to wear and tear.

Both were Violet gears, but they had no level requirements. Fatty had tried out the ballista a little during his trip. One bolt insta-killed a Holy Unicorn and moreover pinned its corpse on the mountain wall.

When Fatty arrived at the temple, the scene was the same as when he had left. Most of the several thousand heads under the Light God statue were damaged aside from biggest ones still standing.

Fatty chose a corner and arranged the ballista here, then loaded a bolt. The attack of this ballista wasn’t bad, but its immobility spelled trouble.

“Come out, moon!”

Very soon, the moon was high in the sky. The weeping started to echo, and the Chief came out to lead its remaining four guards to attack the statue.

“Inky!” shouted Fatty as he released the Earth Dragon at the same time.

Inky kited over a guard, then died a glorious death.

At the sight of Fatty, the Dark Unicorn Guard that was pulled over was dumbstruck. Fatty was holding up the Holy Horn on his palm. Tears began to stream down the unicorn’s eyes when it saw the item.

“Rest in peace.” Placing the Holy Horn aside, Fatty rotated the crossbow on the ballista and aimed the bolt at the dark creature.

Kah kah… The Plenilune Ballista emitted a noise akin to the Plenilune Beast King shrieking. The ballista stretched its body, its forelimbs leaped forth and its head suddenly raised with a wide-open jaw. The bolt shot out with a violet-gold flash, gunning straight for the unicorn.

Puff! Black blood splattered as the bolt pierced through the monster’s body and flung it high backward. With a clacking noise, the seven-meter-long bolt directly nailed the Celestial-tier unicorn on the wall.

“Wuuwuu…” The creature let out a low sob. It no longer resisted and only looked at the Holy Horn, more and more tears streaming from its eyes.

“Indeed.” Fatty was delighted. These Dark Unicorns already died a long time ago and the only things that remain are their enslaved souls. To escape the God of Light’s grip, death is their only choice.

While the bolt impaled the monster on the wall, its damage actually wasn’t that good. The ballista dealt a decent damage of 9000, but this number was only a sliver in the face of several hundred thousand or even million HP.

The huge HP of these bosses was exactly why Fatty accepted shouldering such a massive debt to build this ballista. If he only relied on himself and his pets, they wouldn’t be able to kill one of these Dark Unicorn Guards even if the monsters just stood still and let them attack for an entire day and night.

One such example was Lei Ting. Even a bunch of Black Tortoise NPC experts were unable to put an end to him.

“Haah!” Growling, Fatty nocked another bolt.

Roaaah! Along with a roar from the ballista, the bolt accurately hit the monster’s body, pinning it even more tightly on the wall.

Another –9000 damage indicator rose up, leaving a visible empty chunk in the unicorn’s health bar. Not giving himself any time to celebrate, Fatty loaded the third bolt.

The Plenilune Ballista was extremely heavy and bulky. Before every shot, it needed to be adjusted a little. Roughly estimated, each shot took over a minute to execute.

Based on the wiped out HP, Fatty estimated this unicorn guard’s health to be about 500,000, meaning at least 60 shots were needed to kill it.

Fatty only got eight bolts from the ores he could purchase. After shooting all eight, Fatty had to pluck them off from the monster’s body to keep using them again. As for the unicorn, surprisingly, it merely stayed put and let Fatty attack.

One minute per bolt. After shooting fifty times with several critical strikes in the process, the unicorn was on its last breath with a little bit of HP left.

“Roaah!” The creature suddenly shrieked. Its horn flashed, and a light swept out, sending the ballista flying.

“Damn it! The time’s come!”

Fatty lamented in his heart, but his face remained calm. Extending his hand to retrieve the ballista into his inventory, Fatty simultaneously slid backward and vanished.

Whoosh whoosh! The Dark Unicorn Guard pushed out the bolts on its body amidst a black blood splatter.
