Army of the Dead, this skill that had once contributed greatly, had gradually lost its effectiveness as time passed. The damage that the five Ghouls dealt now could be said to be negligible.
Swoosh—
The Ghouls approached the Star Elf Boss, which was red as a ruby throughout its whole body. Before their rotten palms could be stretched out, a layer of blood-red lightning enveloped the Boss’ hands and instantly turned three Ghouls into ashes, instakilling them. Immediately after, it raised its hand again, and a ray of moon energy descended from the sky, with a boom as it smashed down, and instakilled the other two Ghouls.
‘First skill is an attack wave, and the charging time is two seconds. Its damage range is 60 by 3 yards in a straight line. The second skill is a hit of energy ray and has a range of 1-yard radius. There should be an additional effect if one is hit right in the center.’ Lin Jie showed the ability of an expert player where he roughly understood the skills the Boss used with just that little clue. However, a Dark Gold Boss would normally have at least three Basic Skills. Thus, there was still one skill that he had not discovered.
Lin Jie took out Silent Killer and aimed it at the Boss’ head. A long flame engulfed the bullets as they were shot towards the Boss crazily.
-271!
-255!
-293!
-247!
-290!
“Blasphemers who have intruded the Star Elves’ Tomb, enjoy the embrace of death!” The Star Elf Boss let out a dull growl, and it raised his hands up high. Then a lightning strike was shot towards Lin Jie rapidly! That lightning strike was as thick as a bucket, and it smashed towards Lin Jie head-on.
Lin Jie felt a bad premonition when he saw the Boss raise its hands, so he stared straight at the Boss. When he saw that its hand shone with lightning, he hurriedly rolled sideways and barely dodged the attack. That lightning sizzled with the sound of electricity flowing and landed beside Lin Jie as it passed the edge of Lin Jie’s armor. Afterward, Lin Jie could only hear a loud explosion sound.
No, there was not only one sound, but two! The second sound was from above Lin Jie’s head! Before Lin Jie had the chance to take a breather, he only had the time to take a glance upwards with the corner of his eyes. A round-shaped lightning ball had already been formed. Lin Jie hurriedly pushed with all his strength using both his hands and feet, then with a swoosh, he violently flew to the side.
Bam!
A deep hole was created from the lightning ball on his original spot!
Seeing the pitch-black ground, Lin Jie could not help but frown. ‘Such overbearing strength!’ However, the Boss’ attack did not stop there. Next, lightning Combo Attacks continued striking down like a machine gun, which bombarded Lin Jie.
Lin Jie was in a sorry state from the attacks, and without any other choice, he activated Dark Chaotic Hole to escape. Fortunately, the Boss did not chase Lin Jie as it was a guardian-type monster that could not leave a certain radius.
Lin Jie’s heart was still fluttering with fear as he took a look at the battle records.
—Battle prompt message: You received a [Star Elves’ Fall] attack from the Star Elf Guardian Leader Zivers and received 3,847 points of damage. You were at the target center, so you will enter a Speed Decrease state for three seconds.
Just by being smashed once, Lin Jie’s health points had decreased by 2/3! That was how fearsome the level suppression in The New Age was. The Boss’ attributes were originally strong, and after it was magnified by level suppression, the damage this Dark Gold Boss dealt could be compared to a Sub-Legendary Boss of the same level.
Lin Jie frowned. How would it be possible for him to kill it? That Boss floated in the center of the door, and its perception range covered the whole door, so it was impossible to sneak in at all. Also, its attacking range was even further than Hunters, and its damage was exceptionally high.
Lin Jie looked at the Boss, and when he saw its eyes, which were filled with moonlight energy, he realized that the Boss was fully concentrated in monitoring everything in front of it, not letting any abnormal movements go.
‘Huh? Wait, in front—’ Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Lin Jie, and he summoned the Silver-Feathered Eagle. “Go! Fly to the side.”
The Silver-Feathered Eagle, which was devoted to its duty wholeheartedly, once again accepted such a suicide mission. It exposed itself within the Boss’ line of sight and flew rapidly to the side.
The Boss’ pupils instantly turned, but since the places where its pupils could see were limited, the Silver-Feathered Eagle very quickly flew outside of the Boss’ vision with breakneck speed. At that moment, a cackling sound could be heard as the Boss tried to turn its head, but to no avail!
The Star Elves’ physique of nothingness was difficult to destroy, but they had a disadvantage—being too stiff!
Screech—
The Silver-Feathered Eagle let out a tragic wail. It was instakilled by other monsters below and returned to the Pet Space after it was turned into white light.
‘Very good.’ Lin Jie was not bothered about its death as to these scouting-type pets dying was their noblest mission. Although the Silver-Feathered Eagle was the baby of a Sub-Legendary creature, it needed to go through a series of miraculous encounters before it would be able to reach its peak.
Amongst them, one of the most important things was to die as all creatures following players had the ability to be resurrected infinitely. To any creature in The New Age, which viewed their lives as precious as treasures, the oppression and challenge of death were the best way to understand one’s own potential.
Lin Jie took out Silent Killer and ensured the Boss was within his line of sight.
Whoosh—
