Chapter 181: Knight’s Outrage (1/2)

Whoosh whoosh...

A cold wind whistled by, and faint, ghastly wails could be heard within.

Goosebumps quickly surfaced all over my body. I turned around. “Sister Mingyue, you go in first!”

Murong Mingyue’s foot flew out. “Cut the bullshit, go in!”

Pow!

Being forced to enter really wasn't a good feeling!

The moment I stepped into the Ghost King’s hall, I only felt that the surroundings were eerie. The space around me was devoid of light. I could only see things within 5 yards, and that was when I relied on the illumination of my Ghost Ice Soul.

Behind me, the girls followed me in and the inside of the hall instantly brightened!

Fuck!

Everyone was startled when they saw the scene in the hall!

A person clad in pure black armor sat above a gleaming golden throne. His hands were poised at its center holding a sword, his expression gloomy. Venom-corroded pus littered his face and even his sword hand was not spared from the noxious wounds as fishy smelling blood followed his sword hilt and flowed down. Anyone seeing this would lose their appetite.

This person was the legendary Poison Ghost King!

Beside the Poison Ghost King danced two Poison Beautiflies that slowly sat on each one of his legs. Graceful and lithe, they hugged the Poison Ghost King’s arm and twisted their bodies until they resembled the S letter.

He Yi gaped, stupefied. “H-how debauched…”

I nodded in agreement.

These two Poison Beautiflies were not ordinary monsters, they both were Level 75 minibosses!

In front of them were four Venomous Twin-headed Snakes and four Ghost Lantern Guards, bringing the total monster count to 11. I was certain that they would all attack the moment we made our move. What’s scary was the fact that there were two minibosses in the mix and I couldn’t even read the boss’s information. His introduction was vague too—

Poison Ghost King (Dark Gold Rank Boss)

Level: 75

Attack: ???

Defense: ???

HP: ???

Skills: ???

Introduction: Originally a human empire's corps commander, his body suffered the corrosion of disease and evil spirits brought about by a battle against the Night Creatures. After falling from grace, he became a devil. With a body brimming with noxious fluids, he brought fierce poisonous creatures into submission, becoming the king of Myriad Poison Cave.

……

Beiming Xue couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath of air, her eyes filled with doubt. “How… how do we handle a line-up like this?”

I gazed at the 11 faraway monsters. “The boss is too strong and has too much HP. Killing him first is not very realistic but choosing to kill those elite monsters feels like a waste of firepower. I think we should aim for the two minibosses first!”

He Yi also blankly stared at me, her beautiful eyes overflowing with curiosity.

I thought about it, then answered, “Let’s do this. Everyone go summon your pets. We’ll let a few Wasps fly to the front and make them leave the moment they aggro the boss. In the meantime, I’ll send my Dark Wasp out to attack a Poison Beautifly and lure it here. Then we do it again. We’ll sacrifice levels of our pets twice to eliminate the minibosses!

Clang!

He Yi drew the Abyssal Sword, her exquisite face filled with decisiveness. “Then we’ll do that. Everyone get ready!”

“Alright!”

The party began to summon their pets. They were all Wasps, and only mine was a Dark Wasp.

“Once I finish counting down from 3, make your pets fly over and immediately go south the moment you aggro the boss!”

“Okay!”

The air was a field of buzzing noises as the Wasps flew out. They were still 5 yards away from the boss and had already attracted its aggro. The Poison Ghost King immediately stood up with his sword in hand and roared in anger, “Damnable creatures, you dare trespass in my territory? You are courting death!”

As he said that, the Poison Ghost King’s minions and mistresses madly rushed at the Wasps. By the time the mobs moved, our pets had already made their way south.

Swhoosh!

The Dark Wasp arrived at the speed of lightning and stung the slower Poison Beautifly on the shoulder four times with its stinger, instantly stealing aggro!

This miniboss Poison Beautifly let out a shrill shriek. “Grovel beneath my feet, damnable intruder!

Boom!

One strike tore out a large chunk of my Dark Wasp’s HP but it didn’t continue fighting anymore and instead flew back. I immediately used Charge when it neared our party.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, the Poison Beautifly appeared in front of me. I was so close that I could clearly see the greenery of her jiggling meaty peaks but I had no time for compassion as my trademark Ice Ray + Slayer Slash combo descended upon her head.

1246!

1137!

Even though it was a miniboss, the Poison Beautifly’s HP and Defense were still really low. Killing it would be as easy as chopping vegetables.

At the back, Beiming Xue and Moonlight Stone fired their skills. Evil Spirit Volley and Ice Dragon Howl revealed their divine might!
