Chapter 108: Thunderous Hell (2/2)
“Ahahahaha!”
I laughed heartlessly as Lin Yixin swung her fists at me all the way until the fifth floor. The Thunder General had retreated to the edge of the lightning formation and regained 20% health since I last saw him, sitting at 37%. Damn, his regeneration speed is way faster than mine.
“Here I go!”
I pulled out the Ghost Ice Soul and sent the Dark Wasp toward the boss again. Just like before, the Dark Wasp played the role of cannon fodder used to relay the boss’s aggro to me. I then ran into the lightning formation, and reproduced that wonderful state of mind. In the zone, I danced amid the lightning formation’s spots like a bloody shadow. No matter how many lightning bolts roiled around me, they were never able to catch me.
The Thunder General looked incredibly pissed, probably because he had never bore witness to such a shameless tactic until now. However, there was nothing he could do to stop me.
My heart slowly crept up my throat as the boss’s HP dropped lower and lower. You are my last hope of a Hero’s Token, Dio!
9%!
8%!
……
3%!
2%!
1%!
A death scream later, the Thunder General collapsed on his knees and perished inside the lightning formation. At the same time, multiple golden beams started showering above our heads. We actually leveled up more than once!
Pop!
Countless items appeared where the boss was killed, and among them was a shiny, gold-colored token. I was overjoyed. It had to be a Hero’s Token!
I waved my hand and threw everything into my bag. Finally, I retreated out of the lightning formation.
“Yes! We finally did it, hehe!”
Lin Yixin laughed excitedly. “I guess you’re not too bad, Lu Chen…”
I shot her a sidelong glance and complained, “Are you kidding me? I was a former Heavenly King, you know…”
“I’ve only heard of Frivolous Scholar and Vegetable Tofu Soup. I’ve never heard of you…” Lin Yixin opened her beautiful eyes wide and innocently poked holes in my heart.
However, I was too happy to take offense this time, so I said, “Let’s return to the city, Beauty Yi. We can check the loot once we reach the warehouse next to the eastern gate!”
“Okay!”
We took out our return scrolls and teleported back to Floating Ice City in a flash. Then, we ran straight toward the warehouse.
I shared my bag’s contents with Lin Yixin and smiled. “Look, I haven’t claimed anything yet. All of the boss’s loot is inside here…”
But Lin Yixin blinked once and asked, “OMG, why is there a Disposable Diaper in your inventory??”
“Er, I got it when I was looting a corpse. I forgot to discard it…”
“...”
I felt like crying as Lin Yixin stared at me with disbelieving eyes. Then, I took out the loot and made a quick count. The boss had dropped 14 Phantasmal Magic Stones, 7 Big Magic Stones, and 3 pieces of equipment. There was a bloody spear, a silver ring and a purple necklace.The pendant of the necklace was shaped like a purple moon with silver light in it. It almost looked like the essence of the moon itself!
Excited, I touched the bloody spear first and read its stats to Lin Yixin.
Stonecrush Spear (Silver-grade)
Attack: 75~140
Strength: +20
Stamina: +17
Passive: Increases user’s hit rate by 3.5%
Level Requirement: 60
……
It’s a Silver-grade weapon! Hell yeah!
The equipment had a higher level requirement than my Ghost Ice Soul, so even though its grade was inferior it wasn’t too far behind in terms of attack power. It was an incredible weapon to say the least.
I asked, “How much Attack does the Snow Shadow Sword have?”
Lin Yixin said, “It’s not as good as this spear.”
“Do you want it then?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because it looks ugly.”
“...”
I decided to deal with the Stonecrush Spear later and threw it into my bag. Next, I picked up the silver ring and brought up its stats. It wasn’t embedded with diamonds, but the shape of a bow was engraved into the metal. It was incredibly dazzling to look at!
Dark Moon Ring (Silver-grade)
Agility: +21
Stamina: +17
Passive: Increases critical rate of all ranged attacks by 7%
Level Requirement: 60
……
Speechless, Lin Yixin and I stared at each other for a time. This Silver-grade ring was even better than the spear. It gave its user a total of 38 stat points, or 7 levels worth of stats, and it boosted the crit rate of one’s ranged attacks by 7%. Crit rate was incredibly important to ranged class players because it practically doubled one’s attack damage!
This ring was a godsend for any archer!
“Oh, Lu Chen~~”
I came alert the moment Lin Yixin’s sweet voice entered my ears like candy. It was clear that she wanted to give this to her own friend, Clear Perfume! In the past, I would’ve given the ring to her without hesitation, but now Bloody Mercenaries now had our own archer, with a powerful dark archer class no less. This ring was very important to Sun Qingqing, but the same could be said to Beiming Xue as well. It was enough to boost her to a new height of power!
“Why don’t we check out the third item and decide later?” I asked.
Lin Yixin nodded. “Okay.”
