Chapter 122: Murder (2/2)
……
Yamete ate two Rank 6 Magic Consumables and restored his MP to full. Then, he said with a nod, “Alright, my MP should last for 5 full minutes. Should we begin?”
“Alright!”
I grabbed the Ghost Ice Soul and walked to the front. “Let our pets draw his attention while we find opportunities to attack. Do not engage him for too long or he might one-shot you!”
“Got it!”
Gui Guzi and Mamate both had Wasp for pets. Beiming Xue’s pet was a Purple Butterfly, one that could deal magic damage.
The Dark Wasp flew toward Suren from a slanted angle while Lin Yixin’s Fire Blade attacked from the front!
All five pets unleashed their attacks at the same time!
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh…
Suren’s HP immediately dropped a bit after the Wasps plunged their stings into his body. The undead swordsman immediately turned furious and launched a sweep attack!
Bang!
A dazzling red flash later, both of the normal Wasps were one-shot at the same time. The level gap was simply too huge!
“Fuck, his Attack is insane…”
Gui Guzi inwardly groaned but charged Suren anyway with Undying Shield turned on. The very first skill he used was his Level 50 skill, Blaze. Fire wrapped around the blade of his spear as the weapon stabbed into Suren’s chest.
347!
The attack was okay, but it would take more than this to defeat Suren.
My Dark Wasp also unleashed its skill, Wasp King Poison!
Puchi!
A greenish, poisonous liquid splashed Suren all over and took effect immediately. It really was an amazing skill!
“Huh? What’s that?” Beiming Xue exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s called Wasp King Poison, a Level 60 skill. It slowly decreases the target’s HP!”
“That’s pretty rad!”
Swinging his spear around, Gui Guzi stabbed Suren again and again to draw his attention.
Although Mamate had been healing Gui Guzi all this time, the latter was still taking too much damage. Gui Guzi only had around 2000 total HP, but he was losing almost 1000 HP from a single basic attack even after Undying Shield had reduced the damage taken by 25%. That being said, he was definitely the tankiest player out of us. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him the Undying Knight.
So far, Gui Guzi was also the only player I wasn’t confident I could one-shot with Pardon. In fact, it was close to being an impossible feat. Had he been a member of Mad Dragon or Gods of Destruction, he would’ve been a great thorn in our side.
Bang!
Suddenly, Suren activated Sword Spirit Slash and knocked Gui Guzi a little off balance. A long, deep wound had appeared across his chest, and his HP was almost gone.
“Watch out!”
I tried to block Suren’s way, but it was too late. Before Mamate’s healing could even reach Gui Guzi, Suren had run up to him like lightning and struck a death blow. A couple of potions and a shiny shield appeared from where Gui Guzi’s corpse used to be.
I picked up the shield and yelled, “Mamate, heal me!”
“Okay!”
Now it was my turn to feel pressured. The good news was that Ghost Deity Armor boosted my Defense by a lot. With the support of a priest and constant potion chugging, I should be able to endure Suren’s attacks for a while.
Meanwhile, Lin Yixin was attacking Suren like a hurricane with Killer Wind Swordplay and Holy Energy. Every hit scored at least a thousand damage. Lin Yixin was certainly our highest DPS since Holy Energy was incredibly effective against the undead. Not even I could outdamage her right now.
“Keep attacking! This boss doesn’t have too much HP!” Lin Yixin cried.
She was right. Suren was an NPC and not an actual boss, so his total HP was only around 50k or so. As long as we attacked him with all we got, we should be able to kill him in around three minutes!
However, Suren also had the highest Attack out of all the enemies we had encountered thus far. He was so horrifyingly powerful that he could two-shot even Gui Guzi!
Suddenly, Suren fired an Ice Ray at me!
Bang!
The impact was so powerful that I crashed through the wooden house like a cannonball. I was completely disoriented for a time! God dammit, I didn’t know Ice Ray could be this powerful! Just what kind of monster is he?
I shook my head and collected myself. But by the time I rose to my feet and charged Suren again, the undead swordsman was already plunging his sword into Yamete’s chest! The frail priest was easily one-shot!
Even Lin Yixin was clutching a bleeding shoulder and barely holding herself together. She only had a sliver of HP left. This battle wasn’t even over, and we were on our last legs already!
“Don’t stop! The boss only has ten thousand HP left!”
Lin Yixin hadn’t given up yet, however. She climbed back up on her feet and glared at Suren with fury.
Thud!
A Devil Piercing Arrow answered her call and exploded on Suren’s head, dealing 654 damage. Beiming Xue’s attack was as amazing as usual!
However, Suren shouted and glowed red all of a sudden. He was going to Charge her!
“Beiming, watch out for Charge!”
