Chapter 166: Running Into Flower Room Again (1/2)

Chaos Moon’s mouth fell open in shock. “I heard that Silverscale Coast was a forbidden zone where the mobs are densely packed and inhuman, the kind that bites your dick the moment it gets in range. Are we absolutely sure we’re heading there?”

I nearly coughed blood when I heard her comment. “There’s nothing to be afraid of. I was grinding there even before I did my third class promotion, and now we’re nearly a whole party of third-promotion players. Come on!”

“Okay!” Chaos Moon nodded.

I turned around, and suddenly I noticed that He Yi was staring at me sadly. “You’re looking down on me because I haven’t gotten my third promotion yet, aren’t you…”

“Absolutely not. I simply remind myself not to be like you when I see you, that’s all…”

“...”

A good laugh later, I assigned our tactician, A Broken Smile as our new party leader. Only the party leader could use their stratagems, and while A Broken Smile’s Intimidate could only reduce his targets’ stats by 5%, it was better than nothing at all.

I looked at my own Deterrence: reduce the stats of all nearby undeads by 25%. Now this was a skill. Compared to this, the Tactician’s Level 60 signature skill was practically trash, muahahahaha~

I enjoyed myself for a bit before heading out of the city with He Yi.

…...

A short while later, we arrived at a sea shore. A cool breeze brushed against our faces, and the waves broke against the shores. Crystal Crabs were crawling all over the place.

I pointed at the mobs and said, “Why don’t we kill some Crystal Crabs?”

Beauty Chaos Moon curled her lips and complained, “That’s so boring, it’s not like we can eat them for dinner. Why don’t we go to Greedy Wolf Forest and kill some Greedy Wolves? The Greedy Wolf Cards they drop are pretty cool to use~~”

I said, “The crabs drop pretty good loot too. The last time I was here, I got a Charge skill book!”

“Oh really? Let’s go kill some crabs then!”

Beauty Chaos Moon changed her mind immediately. Charge was the trump card of every melee fighter, and the skill wasn’t readily available to everyone during the initial stages of the game. Therefore, anyone who found a Charge skill book could become a super pro immediately!

Suddenly, I noticed that He Yi was looking like she wanted to say something.

So I asked, “What’s the matter, boss?”

He Yi stared at me her her big, bright eyes and asked, “What is Charge?”

“Puu…”

All nine of us threw up blood in unison!

But this was the He Yi I know. It didn’t take me long before I recovered my senses.

“Well, Charge is…” I tried to come up with a proper explanation. “Charge is a skill where you tackle the enemy, and they go crazy. Get it?”

“...”

For some reason, the girls looked like they were going to go crazy first.

Anyway, we finally started killing crabs after that brief but comedic interaction. Swinging his battle axe and charging a Crystal Crab like a madman, Alexander the Magic Knight shouted, “Do you dare accept a duel to the death, traitor?”

The Crystal Crab immediately launched a Rank 6 Flurry to his face, deleting most of his HP in the blink of an eye.

589!

642!

593!

621!

Alexander was so shocked that he actually forgot to move out of the way. I immediately charged the crab so that Beauty Moonlight Stone could heal our unfortunate magic knight back to full health.

At the same time, I raised the Ghost Ice Soul and unleashed my signature combo, Pardon plus Desperate Gambit!

MISS!

3254!

The Dark Wasp also contributed a Flurry of its own. One more basic attack later, the crab was annihilated from existence!

Pop!

Ooh, lucky. I grabbed the magic stone and tossed it into Alexander’s hands.

Beauty Chaos Moon’s mouth fell open again in astonishment. “OMG, this contrast is ridiculous. Alexander, what the hell are the stats of your shield? Just look at Mr. Handsome over there, the crab nearly one-shot you, while he one-shot the crab…”

Alexander scratched his head in shame. “Bah, it was just a mistake in execution. The sand was slippery here, you see…”
