326 Lightbringer’s Armaments (1/2)
Ping!
Jiang Fei activated the Demon's Node and tossed it on the ground. With a bright violet light, a light gate of the same color appeared.
”Grr…”
Before the hounds could even come out of the gates, everyone in the boss chamber could hear the vicious snarls of the hounds. Soon, red flaming hounds rushed out of the gates. These hounds had two heads on one body and were covered in burning hot lava that was dripping from their body. Just by standing close to them, Jiang Fei could feel the searing heat coming from the lava on their body.
”OMG! What is wrong with these dogs! There are so many of them! Bro! You didn't tell me that you have such an army?” cried Zhao Feng.
”Nothing much to say about that. Let's just start fighting, shall we?”
With an army of hundred angry vicious looking hounds standing in front of Jiang Fei, the party was now ready to fight the boss that seemed impossible to defeat before.
”GO, MY HOUNDS!” cried Jiang Fei as he commanded the Demon Lava Hounds to attack.
Even though the hounds were three meters tall, they were only like ants in the presence of the Qilin. And like ants, they swarmed the boss from all possible angles and attacked the Qilin. Each of them was only able to deal no more than 500 damage. Though, that might seemed weak individually, as a swarm, they could deal a significant amount of damage. One single attack from all hounds was 50,000 damage.
”OURGH!” the Qilin roared angrily as it was being attacked by small beings. With a powerful stomp, the Qilin attack one of the hounds and caused that particular hound to lose one-third of its health points. One third…
A few moments passed and the second round of attack was laid. With the power of the swarm, the boss had already lost 10% of its health points in just a few seconds.
King's Gale!
The boss activated its skill and gained a powerful attack.
Stomp!
Slap!
A loud disgusting sound of a hound being crush into a pile of meat echoed. It was an instant kill.
”Grrrr!” When the smell of blood of the killed hound spread in the boss' chamber, ninety-nine of the remaining hounds started to attack faster.
”WOAH! That's awesome!” exclaimed Little Rain as he stopped casting his magic and stared at the scene.
”Never would I have thought that the hardest boss would be killed by a swarm of dogs!” said Seven Star Warrior in disappointment.
”Hoho! Well, in the end it's all about the kill. I'm satisfied as long as the boss drops something good!” said Jiang Fei with a smile as he controlled some of the hounds that were trapped behind other hounds.
Even though the Qilin has activated King's Gale, the boss still could not kill a single hound with one hit. With a certain adjustment to a few hounds, Jiang Fei could extend the survivability of the hounds by moving those that were at the brink of death towards the back and moving those with full health to the front. Not only that, due to the sheer amount of hounds attacking, the boss could not turn around to attack other hounds. Hence, Jiang Fei had only need to circle the hounds around the boss like a clock to further extend the hounds' survivability.
With precise control, Jiang Fei could reduce the total hounds that would be killed. The outcome of his control was that even though some of the hounds were killed, he had completely reduced their death rate whilst not reducing their total damage output.
In a little over than ten seconds, the boss was already left with 50% health points.
”OURGH!” The boss roared again and activated two skills.
King's Intimidation!
Qilin's Wrath!
All the hounds suffered the debuff and their attack power was reduced by half. Additionally, the hounds' defense weakened and would be killed in a single hit.
”Tsk! The boss had gained more attack!” Jiang Fei cursed disgruntledly. At that moment, Jiang Fei immediately changed his hounds' attack pattern. Since the boss' attack would kill a full health hound in a single hit, he switched all the hounds that were at the brink of death to take the hit.
After the death of fifteen hounds, the boss Berserk's state expired. The skill Qilin's Wrath had only an active time period of ten seconds. At that point, the boss had only a little over 30% health points while Jiang Fei's army of hounds still had over seventy live hounds.
