Chapter 93: Yamete (1/2)

Swoosh!

I sensed danger the moment the boss raised the barbs on its body. Not good, it looks like it’s about to unleash a powerful move!

The last Level 60 boss, Hill Protector God, had an incredibly powerful move called Thunder God’s Stampede. This Bloodspine Wolfking was also a Level 60 boss, so I should’ve expected it to have a similar killer move as well!

“Gui Guzi, defend! Everyone else back off! An AoE attack is coming!”

I shouted and backed off quickly. However, Murong Mingyue couldn’t escape because she was standing too close to Gui Guzi! Eyes widening, she waited for the inevitable to arrive.

“Fuck…”

I clenched my teeth and burst into action. I charged toward Murong Mingyue and pushed her to our backline. At the same time, I turned around and expanded the cloak behind my back completely. The Bloodspine Wolfking finally unleashed its killer move and fired all the spikes on its body, razing everything within 20 meters.

Beep!

Combat Log: Bloodspine Wolfking used “Thousandfold Penetration”!

……

Thud thud thud!

My back turned numb as three spikes penetrated my back in succession!

411!

397!

421!

My HP instantly hit rock bottom, but thankfully Murong Mingyue raised her arm and enveloped me in a beam of holy light, restoring over 400 HP!

I quickly turned around to check the party. It was bad. Gui Guzi and Du Thirteen’s Wasps had died to the attack, and my own Dark Wasp only had a sliver of HP left. Even Gui Guzi looked battered because the attack had taken away four-fifths of his HP!

That wasn’t all. Xu Yang had been killed because the attack was too much for him to withstand. The second party’s mage and archer were also dead because they reacted too slowly. Du Thirteen escaped with his life because he never got close enough to be hit in the first place, and Beiming Xue was the only one who escaped the deadly assault in time by backflipping into the forest behind her.

“That was too close…”

Murong Mingyue stuck out her tongue before glancing at Xu Yang’s corpse. She couldn’t stop herself from kicking him playfully and saying, “Sigh, Xu Yang is such a noob…”

Unsure what to say about her action, I drew the boss’s aggro to myself and bought Gui Guzi some time to recover. I was the offtank after all, it was my job to prevent a party wipe!

Thankfully, that AoE attack was basically the Wolfking’s last-ditch effort. Now, beating it was only a matter of time.

The raid continued uneventfully after that near party wipe. Since Murong Mingyue kept both my and Gui Guzi’s HP above 75% at all times, we were never in any real danger. I must say that her healing skills were very impressive.

“Awoo…”

Finally, the Bloodspine Wolfking let out a dying howl and perished gloriously to our blades!

Swhoosh!

System Notice: Congratulations, you have gained Wolfking Pelt x20!

……

Pleasantly surprised, I checked my bag to find a shiny stack of golden wolf pelts. I gave them a cursory check, and I wasn’t disappointed!

Wolfking Pelt (Quality: 100): Rank 5 material, can be used to create Silver-grade leather armor. Any equipment created using this material will receive bonus of +9 Agility, +1% critical rate, or +7 HP!

Damn, a special material that adds stats? That’s amazing!

It didn’t take long for me to decide that this was a material I couldn’t sell. The best thing to do here would be to hire a high-level armorsmith and forge an amazing armor for Beiming Xue. It would greatly enhance her attack power and survivability, and in a game like this there was nothing more important than increasing my group’s strength!

Thus, I tossed the stack of Wolfking Pelts back into my bag.

It was at this moment Murong Mingyue walked up to me and picked up the loot on the ground. Unfortunately, her beautiful face was marred by disappointment. “Sigh, we’re still not getting a Hero’s Token. It only dropped a Silver-grade cloth armor and two Steel-grade metal armors.”

I took a look. The cloth armor was an elegant-looking robe. Its milky-white color symbolized purity, and it enhanced a player’s healing effect by 0.8%. This equipment was clearly designed for a priest.

I moved closer to Murong Mingyue and chuckled softly. “Sis, this one’s yours. If you put it on even you can pretend to be pure…”

Murong Mingyue rolled her eyes at me. “I am pure. Why would I need to wear this and pretend? That being said, this robe does have some pretty good stats, and I’m not about to turn down a good offer. Now, how do you want to distribute these two metal armors?”

“The wristguards go to Xu Yang, and the boots go to Amazing Expert. Is that okay?”

“No problem!”

After that, Murong Mingyue gave me all the Phantasmal Magic Stones and 200 gold to boot. With a smile, she said, “This is yours. No need to be courteous, you have to consider the wellbeing of your own men, am I right?”
