92 Duelling the Empress (1/2)
”Sss…” The Mutant Empress let out a sneer. Then, her colossal body vanished out of sight!
”Thump!”
-1127!
The next second, the Empress appeared behind Rosette Dazzledance and sunk her claws in -- deep!
”So freaking fast!” Jiang Fei lamented while activating his skills.
Dash!
-50!
It was not much, but it was enough to attract the attention of the fresh boss.
”Leader, watch my Health Points, Miaomiao, keep everyone safe!” Jiang Fei shouted and used Battle Cry at the same time, anchoring the boss's aggro to himself.
The boss's Blink Strike just now had come out of nowhere. Very rarely were bosses the aggressors. They had not expected this boss to roll the first stone. Fortunately, the boss had gone after the Sub-Tank, Rosette Dazzledance. Anyone else might have instantly gone down!
Ice Burst!
Bash!
Iron Fist!
Jiang Fei used all his skills to get an early lead on the boss' aggro table.
”Attackers, go!” Jiang Fei shouted at the ranged attackers behind him.
This was probably the strongest boss that Jiang Fei had ever encountered. Although she was only of the Vice-Leader rank, her Attack Power was even higher than the actual Leader Bosses he had seen thus far!
Fortunately, at this time, Jiang Fei was no longer the beginner he once was. He had replaced his old shield with his Epic shield, and he was of significantly higher level. On top of that, he had also drunk five bottles of Blood of Evolution. Jiang Fei's Health Points were now 8400 points! His Defense was over 600!
However, even with such a high physical damage reduction, the boss could deal 600 or 700 damage to Jiang Fei with a single hit. Although Rosette Rose now had a Blue healing hammer, it was still too much for her alone. Even Rosette Miaomiao had to step in!
Fire Art: Scorch!
The fatty Zhao Feng had activated his skill again, providing the entire party with a 20% extra fire damage!
Although it was only a 20% addition, the effect was rather apparent. Those two magicians aside, the other attackers, including the Hunter, dealt physical damage. However, the Physical Defense of Leader Bosses were super high. Their damage values had taken a nose-dive. However, the fire damage only took Magic Defense into consideration, so the boss would receive almost all the damage. This brought a smile to Rosette Phantom's face.
In the end, an Vice-Leader boss was just an Vice-Leader boss. The Mutant Empress may hit much harder than Wild bosses, but her Defense and Health Points were proportionally lower!
Previously, the Wild Leader Boss who rode on horseback had an incredibly high Defense. Other than players like Jiang Fei who relied on equipment to trigger various DoT effects, even Happy Drunk failed to reach the three-digit mark with his Rainbow weapon. The other players only dealt around 10 to 20 damage.
However, this Vice-Leader Empress was dealing 100 to 200 damage per attack. Based on the percentage of the boss' Health Points, Jiang Fei's ten-man party was already dealing even more damage than the 100-men party!
”Pff…”
When the boss' Health Points dropped to 80%, she spat some of her yellow salivae onto Jiang Fei. Fortunately, Jiang Fei had habitually turned the boss around, having it present its back to the party. As a result, Jiang Fei was the only one who suffered from the corrosion effect!
Corrosion: 150 damage per second, and a 30% reduction in Defense. The effects last for 30 seconds!
”Sss! So strong!” Jiang Fei exclaimed and drank a Medium Red Potion.
The effect which caused 150 damage per second was offset by a bottle of Medium Red Potion, but only 50 damage per second remained, which Rosette Miaomiao's Regeneration took care of. However, that 30% Defense reduction was quite a severe blow!
