Chapter 591 - I Will Marry You (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The special mechanism and powerful skills of the Ice Queen made her a powerful Boss to deal with for all sorts of teams. What Fat Cattle had done, using an AOE skill to hit the Ice Shards, had never been tried in Lin Jie’s previous life.
No, more accurately speaking, perhaps someone might have thought of this same method before. However, the problem lay in who could manipulate the paths of the Ice Shards that accurately? Both the people who maneuvered the Ice Shards and those who needed to strike it down must not commit any single mistake in their actions.
No matter what, it was true that Lin Jie had never heard of anyone using such a method before in his previous life.
One should not be deceived by how easy it seemed for Lin Jie to flick the Ice Shard towards Domestic Fat Cattle. What was required of him was not just the micro-skill Feint—at the same time, he had to divert 70% of his attention to Baili Changcheng. After all, Baili Changcheng did not have the ability to match up to Lin Jie’s skills now, so he had to be the one to match Baili Changcheng’s skills.
Both of them needed to coordinate quickly to send exactly two Ice Shards in front of Fat Cattle. In addition, Fat Cattle needed to exhibit his skill perfectly. Only by doing so would both Ice Shards be shattered completely.
“Sure!” replied Baili Changcheng, who also used the Feint skill to send the Ice Shards flying along Fat Cattle’s way. At the same time, the shard which Lin Jie aimed at Fat Cattle arrived. This series of actions seemed like perfect coordination between two experts—both had the same temperaments, and there was no need for any exchange of words between them!
Completing this set of actions made Baili Changcheng rather proud secretly. He was one of the few experts among the Elemental Sword Artist job. From what he perceived, although he was still not as great as Lin Jie with regards to equipment, he seemed not far apart in terms of his skills!
-20!
-40!
With an awesome continuous shot, Childe hit two Ice Shards. At the same time, Fat Cattle also struck down two Ice Shards.
‘Eh?’ Baili was somewhat shocked. Where did the second piece of Ice Shard that Fat Cattle hit come from? He looked at Lin Jie’s actions and suddenly had an epiphany. Lin Jie was dealing out his strikes smoothly, just like normal. A single gust of Wind Rider Blade Aura blocked a far away Ice Shard. At that moment, he called off the Blade Aura abruptly, and held up Broken Blade in front of his chest horizontally, hence stopping a nearer Ice Shard in front of him. Meanwhile, the wings behind his back also controlled a third Ice Shard’s direction. When the three pieces fell into the same path, he then passed them on to Fat Cattle.
With these actions, Fat Cattle was able to have 50% success rates in striking down the Ice Shards accurately! After all, all those Ice Shards, which were moving in haphazard directions, were now brought into a straight path—how difficult would it be to hit them?
Meanwhile, when Baili Changcheng was directing the Ice Shards, one of the pieces would always be around where Childe was aiming his arrows, and hence was shot down by him.
‘We are not coordinating with one another—he was the one who’s taking the bulk of the work, and trying to complement us!’ Baili Changcheng noted in awe secretly. He thus adjusted his attitude and concentrated intently on his actions.
In a short while, the 50 Ice Shards from the Ice Queen’s first round of attacks were turned to dust. She suffered 1,280 points of total damage, which was 280 points higher than the originally predicted damage amount!
“Nice,” complimented Lin Jie. He was steady in his breath, but on the other hand, Childe, Baili, and Fat Cattle were all panting heavily. All the other team members immediately crowded around them to send their regards.
“Fat Cattle’s so awesome!”
“Childe was really accurate, and it was really hard on Baili too.”
Baili let out an awkward smile. “Lone Wolf’s the one who’s really taking the bulk of the work.”
“Is it? He doesn’t look like it.” Bu Yi chuckled as she threw a look at Lin Jie.
At that moment, the Ice Queen’s second attack wave reached!
It was the Ice Piton Spur, whereby an Ice Piton would appear randomly and hit a target, followed up by three or six times more of the same attack!
In Lin Jie’s previous life, he had heard countless complaints about this disgusting skill. After the Ice Piton managed to hit a target, that area where the player was previously standing on would literally be transformed into a miniature bramble field. The hit target would then be penetrated with the following Ice Pitons… Worst, the Damage Dealt by hitting the Ice Pitons was not as high as hitting the Ice Shards. Hitting one Ice Piton would only take away two of the Boss’ health points. As such, many guilds would rather face a Restricted Curse than to handle these 10 minutes’ worth of attacks.
Yet now, things were different.
Mixed Breathless activated Bull Power, Life Growl, and Strong Physique buffs, stepping directly into the Ice Queen’s attack area. The Ice Piton Spur skill immediately fired off, and within the blink of an eye, it shot Mixed Breathless up high into the sky. Countless Ice Pitons followed after this attack.
-193!
-264!
Mixed Breathless’ health bar decreased by 2/3 in that instant. Truth to be said, the damage brought about the dense crowd of Ice Pitons was indeed fearsome.
Bang!
With an order from Lin Jie, all sorts of attacks were blasted at the Ice Pitons! Arrows, spells, and Blade Auras covered the whole place. The Ice Pitons’ weakness lay at their roots, and each Ice Piton had 2,000 health points. However, this was nothing to be worried about with the powerful damage output by the team! The Ice Queen’s health bar decreased by 600 points immediately, but the Ice Piton Spur attack had not ended—this meant that the Savage Blade team’s turn to deplete the monster’s health bar had not ended yet! In almost no time, the Ice Queen’s health bar got depleted until around only 30%.
Lin Jie had definitely not predicted such high efficiency.
The Ice Queen’s special attack mechanism and her first Ice Shard skill would mislead a majority of the player teams. Moreover, now was the period for many players to try to level up. As such, many players would rather attack the Boss in a slow, but steady and conservative manner.
Players would most probably be flooded with pessimistic thoughts like, ‘What if we did not hit target/commit a mistake’, etc. This resulted in many of them following the rules and progressing the dungeon bit by bit, unlike how the Savage Blade team was violently blasting their way through now.
However, one must dare to try out their ideas!
To be very honest, this time round, Domestic Fat Cattle had indeed made a huge contribution. Lin Jie wanted to take down this dungeon very much, and as such, he was overly cautious and lost all thoughts of experimenting. If not for Fat Cattle’s idea, he would not be inspired to think of a better way to complete this dungeon.
The Ice Queen’s health bar was now left with only 2,000 points! The rapid rate of deteriorating made her feel threatened, and she started pleading in a sweet but sickly voice, “Brave men… Please save me. I am the daughter of the City of Light’s Duke. Should you save me from the Ice, I will marry you, and become your Follower, giving you all that I have!”
Ding~
—’The Ice Queen pleas for you to help her…’
“Wth, marry me when you are so ugly?”
“Oh, just finish her off quickly!”
“I feel like puking.”
It was actually all the better that the Boss kept her mouth shut. Once she spoke, she suffered even greater attacks!
One should not underestimate the comment by the Ice Queen. After all, she had the intelligence of a human being, and at the last minute, she would resort to such trickery to tempt the players.
