Chapter 92: Bloodspine Wolfking (2/2)
“Okay!”
Murong Mingyue sent me a party invitation, and I accepted it after kicking Du Thirteen out of the party. He went to Xu Yang’s party with a sad look on his face.
Xu Yang took the lead and led us into the valley. It was then a giant wolf with barbs on its back emerged into view from a distance. It was none other than the boss we were setting out to kill!
Bloodspine Wolfking (C Rank Boss)
Level: 60
Attack: ???
Defense: ???
HP: ???
Introduction: This beast has taken countless lives in Greenstone Valley, and someone even put up a bounty for it at Floating Ice City. Unfortunately, the Bloodspine Wolfking is a savage monster, and no one has ever dared to take up the challenge.
……
“A C Rank boss, huh…” I thought for a moment.
“Yep.” Murong Mingyue stood next to me and smiled. “So? Do you think it’ll drop a Hero’s Token?”
I replied without hesitation, “It could, but the rate is pretty low. The chance of a Silver Rank boss dropping a Hero’s Token is around 5%, so the chance of a C Rank boss dropping one is probably less than 1%.”
“In the end we can only pray for good luck, huh?”
Murong Mingyue gave me a smile. She was already an attractive woman in the first place, but her voluptuous figure made sure that you would never be able to throw her to the back of your mind completely. One only needed to look at the reaction of Gui Guzi and Du Thirteen to know that this sexy, older sister–type priest was a maneater through and through.
Thankfully, Xu Yang and I knew her long enough to be immune to her charms, and we both knew that it was incredibly unwise to offend a woman like her. With Murong Mingyue’s level of experience and skill, she could toy someone to their deaths and they would never realize until it was too late.
Chiang!
I unsheathed the Ghost Ice Soul with a smile. “Gui Guzi will be our tank, so just focus on healing him, Beauty Murong. The rest of you, take care not to draw too much aggro to yourself. Lil Beiming, you should control your DPS as well. I promise I won’t let an OT happen as long as everyone carries out their job properly.”
Gui Guzi held up his shield and swung his spear. He was ready to attack the boss.
It was at this moment the Level 44 bard asked, “What should I do, handsome? How would you like me to apply my buffs?”
I liked her attitude. Unlike most pretty faces who led their parties to their doom because they were too arrogant for their own good, this one showed me the proper respect I deserved as a veteran.
I thought for a moment before replying, “Pretty, you can apply Valor to me, Forge to Beiming Xue, and Bloody Battle to Gui Guzi. Oh right, you’re above Level 40. That means you’ve already learned Homecoming, a skill that adds 15% Defense, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Leave that for the main tank too!”
“Okay!”
After the work distribution was complete, the bard got to work immediately. She seemed like an efficient player, swinging her staff and putting buffs on everyone in almost no time at all. Now all she needed to do was wait until it was time to refresh the buffs.
……
“Little Gui, go!”
Gui Guzi charged and slammed his shield into the Bloodspine Wolfking’s head. Then, he swung his spear and attacked the boss with a Death Combo. His presence was immense, and his movement was fluid. Gui Guzi was starting to look like a real pro now.
It only took an instant for the boss to lock onto Gui Guzi. By the time I reached them, the boss had already thrown a fierce swipe at Gui Guzi’s body!
Bang!
It was a powerful attack, and Gui Guzi endured it with gritted teeth. Three different numbers popped up above his head in succession.
564!
+113!
+374!
Murong Mingyue’s healing was as effective as it was instantaneous. Gui Guzi was practically back at full health already!
Back then, a Level 60 boss had one-shot me and the Dark Wasp like it was nothing. But now, Gui Guzi had good equipment, high level, and even a bard buffing him with Homecoming, a super skill that increased a target’s Defense by 15%. Unless he got one-shot by the boss or Murong Mingyue stopped healing him, I had no doubt that we could defeat this boss!
The bard’s mouth fell open as she exclaimed, “Gui Guzi’s Defense and HP regen are amazing… I can’t believe he’s going toe-to-toe with a Level 60 boss!”
I couldn’t help but laugh a little. This shouldn’t be a surprise at all.
It was my turn. I zipped past the boss and drew a line across its flesh with the Ghost Ice Soul. I executed both Ice Ray and Slayer Slash almost and the same time.
774!
672!
Another basic attack was all it took to draw the boss’s aggro on me. It was a given, Gui Guzi’s DPS was much lousier than mine after all.
I withdrew rapidly as Gui Guzi moved in to intercept the boss. A series of jabs later, the boss’s aggro was drawn back to him again.
I moved in again and executed my killer move!
Swhoosh!
Pardon!
MISS!
And now, a new move—Desperate Gambit!
Swhoosh!
The blade glowed deep red before sinking deep into the wolfking’s neck. It was an attack that drew painful yelps even from a Level 60 boss!
2087!
Beiming Xue seized her chance to fire several arrows in a row. It amounted to around 1000 damage in total.
The bard’s jaw hit the floor as she murmured, “Heavens, each member in this party is crazier than the last…! What… what ridiculous power!”
