Chapter 90: Desperate Gambi (2/2)
Bang bang!
664!
573!
Her attack power was as impressive as ever. It looked like the Dark Archer class was hiding some incredible offensive power!
So I asked, “Lil Beiming, does your class buff your attack power?”
“Yeah.”
Beiming Xue gave me a smile. “My innate talent boosts my dark-based attacks by 25%. However, this number is fixed and won’t change even if I level up. Also, why are you calling me Lil Beiming?”
“You are only eighteen, aren’t you?”
“Well, I suppose I can be considered ‘little’ when compared to three men who are approaching their thirties...”
“Hahaha!”
The three of us laughed madly when we heard the comment, and Beiming Xue wondered if she had made a mistake.
……
A long time later, we finally cleared out all the skeletons in the area.
Swoosh!
A golden beam of light surrounded me, and I finally returned to Level 50 once more. Grinding mobs at an even higher level made for truly fast leveling!
The way Beiming Xue was holding her bow made it look like she was gunning for the moon. She crouched slightly and darted into the forest like lightning. Then, she suddenly came to a pause beneath a huge tree and warned us, “Watch out, the boss is here!”
“Pull it and come back immediately!” I shouted.
“Got it.”
Beiming Xue drew her bow and fired a powerful, unseeable arrow at the boss. Then, she ran all the way back until she was standing next to me. We stared into the forest together and waited for the boss to appear.
Bang!
The tree she was standing beneath just a moment earlier abruptly broke into two as a boss surrounded in blood-red light emerged into view. It wore a pitch black cape and wielded a sword. It was also riding a skeletal warhorse. It was a leader-type boss of the Night Creatures!
Crimson Hell (Dark Steel Rank Boss)
Level: 50
Attack: 250~425
Defense: 240
HP: ???
Introduction: He used to be a royal bodyguard of the Violet Empire. After he was corrupted by the Night Creatures, Crimson Hell turned into a bonafide devil, his hands forever drenched in blood.
……
I thought for a moment before saying, “425 Attack is a bit weaker than I expected. Be careful, everyone. Lil Beiming, Thirteen, don’t try to fight the boss up close. Gui Guzi and I will take turns tanking the boss. Summon your pets and get ready for battle!”
“Okay!”
My Dark Wasp was already buzzing in excitement. Gui Guzi and Du Thirteen were using Wasps too, except one had 24 and the other 17 BN. It was a pretty sorry sight to be honest.
On the bright side, Beiming Xue’s pet was a magic-type, offensive-oriented Level 47 Purple Butterfly. It was incredibly rare, and the only other person I vaguely recalled had the same pet was Clear Perfume!
“Go!”
The Dark Wasp, Gui Guzi, and I charged the boss at the same time!
Ice Ray!
Pu!
The sword pierced the boss’s chest and shaved some HP off its health bar!
749!
The boss didn’t overlevel me so much that it had a natural advantage over me, so the damage was impressive to say the least. It felt incredible to go through a boss monster’s defenses!
Again! Pardon + Slayer Slash!
MISS!
1789!
While the boss was slowed by Ice Ray, everyone attacked the boss with all their might. Gui Guzi launched Death Combo the second he got close, three Wasps stung it repeatedly, and Beiming Xue fired arrow after arrow, each dealing massive damage to the boss.
583!
550!
610!
The Purple Butterfly rose into the air and started glowing, as if illumined by magic. It then unleashed many fireballs at the boss, also dealing considerable damage. Our party’s DPS was so high it was borderline ridiculous, and the boss lost over 5000 HP, or one tenth of its total HP, in ten seconds’ time. This meant that the boss only had 50000 HP at most.
Cheeks red, Beiming Xue shouted excitedly, “Wow, we’re killing it so fast!”
Bang!
The boss swung his sword and hit Gui Guzi in the head, but Gui Guzi gritted his teeth and endured it thanks to the effects of the Undying Shield. It would take only a few minutes to take out this boss, so this bit of damage was nothing.
“Damned humans, I will feed on your flesh until there’s nothing but bones!”
Crimson Hell roared angrily, his sword exuding red light. Here comes his killer move!
Puchi!
Gui Guzi took several steps back as blood spurted from his body. The attack clearly dealt a tremendous amount of damage!
987!
What the hell happened? Shocked, I checked the combat logs and found an entry…
Combat Log: Crimson Hell used “Desperate Gambit V” and hit player “Gui Guzi”, dealing 987 damage!
……
Desperate Gambit?!
“Little Gui, come back! I’ll tank him while you heal yourself!” I shouted.
Gui Guzi nodded.
