1369 Human Bomb (1/2)
In fact, these two skills weren't fatal, which gave the players a false sense of security. They thought that Baron Geddon was an impressively-looking but useless Boss.
Until…
Hachi Chan, who was busy healing at the time, noticed that her body had burst into flames.
”Oh, something is wrong.”
As she spoke, her body exploded.
She didn't explode into pieces, but she and the people around her suffered a lot of damage. At the same time, Hachi Chan was thrown into the air. She obviously didn't know how to fly, and you couldn't fly in the middle of this Instance Dungeon either, so this was obviously the work of the Boss.
Being tossed at a high altitude usually resulted in one of two things.
Either she would land and take significant damage, or she would land somewhere soft and be unharmed.
Hachi Chan, who fell from quite high up, took a lot of damage when she landed. The other players that were around the impact zone suffered the same damage. Hachi Chan had become a human bullet, and had been tossed into her companions.
The second explosion from the landing left a number of bodies scattered over the floor.
There was no point in struggling anymore. So many of the players had died that there wasn't any point to it.
The group of players sat in a group eating bread and drinking some water to regenerate their stamina.
Everyone was sitting in the circle, trying to work out what happened.
”Hachi Chan exploded,” Azure Sea Breeze said sadly.
”You exploded,” Hachi Chan retorted as she jumped up.
”It must be the Boss that picked her, and made Hachi Chan explode…” Lu Li muttered as he held Hachi Chan's head stopped her from jumping around.
”It literally happened to you, and you're denying it? Do you want to lose guild points? This explosion causes damage initially and then sends the target flying to deal more damage on impact…”
This wasn't a difficult observation; anyone could have realized that if they were paying attention.
”There is a warning for the player who is about to explode, as they would be enveloped in flames,” Wandering added.
”Hachi Chan, how long was it between your body being set alight and the explosion?” Lu Li asked.
”About… uh… I'm not sure,” Hachi Chan muttered as she thought about it. She looked sorrowful. She exploded the moment she realized that something was wrong. As this was VR game, she had not yet recovered from the shock.
”Well, Breezy, get ready to fight the Boss again. This time, we'll need to try to understand the characteristics of the Boss' skills,” Lu Li said.
This time, Sesame Rice Ball had been selected. It seemed to be random, so it was hard to say who would be selected next, but once they were selected, it was just bad luck for them.
”Run away from me, quickly, I'm about to explode!” Sesame Rice Ball shouted loudly.
Lu Li couldn't but feel some pride, not because he was about to explode, but because he had to intelligence to make that call. Now that he had cried out, the scene was quite chaotic, and there were a few players running in the wrong direction…
The explosion caused nearly 3000 damage because of its close range. It also depended on the player's Fire Resistance. If they didn't have much, they really would lose 3000 HP.
At present, the average players had about 3000 HP. There were few players that had much more than 3000 HP.
In addition to the area of effect damage they had taken earlier, anyone that didn't run away would definitely die.
The Mage's Ice Block and the Paladin's Invulnerability could protect them from dying, but there were only a few players with those skills. Their damage reduction skills were useless here as only Fire Resistance could reduce this skill's damage.
Once again, everyone got wiped, which left them dumbfounded.
