Chapter 244 – Underworld Fire Blade (1/2)

The Bluestripe Daggertooth Pike Conger was huge and mighty, but being a mere Gold boss, it naturally couldn’t get them too serious.

Hit by Cheng Xiong’s Violent Whip and Han Shen’s Underworld Blood Blade, the beast violently trembled, its skin turned red as if on fire, and its health dropped by a large chunk.

Szzz… Amidst a sound akin to boiling water, a series of numbers rose up from the beast’s head.

“What do you think? My Underworld Blood Blade can burn the opponent and deal DoT damage,” Han Shen said to Cheng Xiong.

“Humph, my skills won’t be any less!” Cheng Xiong snorted and pointed his staff.

Boom!

A bullet-type attack landed on the creature’s head and blew out a bloody hole roughly a meter in diameter.

CRRRACK!

The Bluestripe Daggertooth Pike Conger roared towards the sky. A blinding thunderbolt over ten meters struck out from its body and went straight for Cheng Xiong.

In addition, a rain of sparks burst out from the creature and landed into the surrounding waters. The sounds of electric sizzling ensued as Han Shen yelped in shock and repeatedly moved back.

Boom! The thunderbolt smashed at the magic shield before Cheng Xiong. The shield was enshrouded within arcing lightning before it crumbled shortly after, revealing the Sacrificer out in the open.

Kah… Kah… Another bolt streaked towards Cheng Xiong. At the same time, with the boss as the center, countless crackling electric threads spread out several dozen meters in the sea, leaving a layer of dead fish in their wake.

“Long-range boss. It’s not gonna be an easy opponent,” Xiao Jian indifferently remarked.

Cheng Xiong was forced to repeatedly retreat several dozens of meters by the thunderbolt attack. Han Shen was even more miserable. Struck numb by the wave of electric threads, he nearly drowned.

“If only I could use the ballista,” Fatty regretfully said.

The entire surrounding was water, so there was no place to set the Plenilune Ballista. Otherwise, it could easily kill this Gold boss in a few bolts.

“Heh, I don’t believe I can’t handle this shit!” With a loud battle cry, Cheng Xiong flew toward the beast’s head.

Priests had a pitifully low number of offensive skills, but the hidden class Sacrificer branching from it was just the opposite.

Whoosh!

Just like in the fight with Invincible East, a massive sword light rapidly descended from the sky and pierced through the Bluestripe Daggertooth Pike Conger’s body.

Blood quickly dyed red the surrounding waters. The boss roared and went rampant. Electric bolts struck out in rapid succession, covering the area in blinding yellow light.

Cheng Xiong dodged left and right, barely enduring through the series of attacks as the magic shields he summoned crumbled, one after another.

Everyone was high level with good gears, and their damage naturally was accordingly improved as well. After a few rounds, the boss had lost half of its health.

“Rawwghh!”

As the creature let out a thunderous roar, snake-shaped bolts appeared out of thin air and weaved into an electric net that hurled down onto Cheng Xiong’s head.

The advantage of Float was that it allowed hovering, but in turn, the flying speed wasn’t desirable. Just a little bit too slow, Cheng Xiong was caught by the net. His entire body spasmed and freely fell.

“Inky, go!”

Fatty quickly summoned Inky. He grabbed the pet’s foot and flung it towards Cheng Xiong.

Inky was sent to Cheng Xiong’s side in a dizzy. Right before he was about to fall into the boss’s open jaw, it grabbed his leg and used Float.

Kah! A thunderbolt struck Inky. The pet trembled and staggered.

“F*ck! Is this karma?” Cheng Xiong healed himself as soon as he recovered from the spasms. Then, he used Float to fly up high with lingering fear.

“This thing is still a Gold boss alright?” Xiao Jian rolled his eyes.

“Go!” Liu Lan shouted. Her pet, the Lightning Bird, turned into a streak and charged at the Bluestripe Daggertooth Pike Conger.

Puff!

A fist-sized hole appeared on the target, but there was no sign of the Lightning Bird.

“Uwuu…” Liu Lan stomped her feet in rage. It turned out that when the Lightning Bird pierced through the boss, it was electrocuted to death inside the latter’s body.

The only one capable of combat left now was Cheng Xiong. The other four didn’t have many long-ranged offensive skills, so if they neared the boss, they’d be electrocuted and sink down the ocean before they could even attack.

“The heck?! If anything, we could count as experts, right? And we’re being outfought by a puny Gold boss?!” Han Shen was very displeased.
