Chapter 182: Envenomed Strike (2/2)
Fuck, 100 HP per second! Isn’t this too severe?
I grabbed a Rank 6 Health Potion without any hesitation. My life and death depended on this potion!
“Gulp!”
+1500!
My HP immediately recovered to full and I then relied on Murong Mingyue to heal the rest. This was all we could do. If I couldn’t resist a blow, then this boss really was unstoppable!
Who knew that the Poison Ghost King would all of a sudden shout. Golden lines soon appeared on its longsword. This intro was all too familiar!
Not good, that’s Death Combo!
The Poison Ghost King’s target wasn’t me, but He Yi who was right next to me. The sword swung out four times. If they all hit, He Yi would definitely die!
I moved hastily and knocked my shoulder against He Yi’s chest. By the time I heard He Yi’s surprised exclamation, she had already been sent flying. Before I had yet to indulge in the feeling of my shoulder touching her breasts, I was hit from behind by the boss!
I helplessly looked on as my HP fell in huge chunks and practically disappeared!
1093!
1029!
1104!
1209!
Swoosh!
A red light shot upward into the air and my near-depleted health bar suddenly filled to full!
Immortality!
At this moment, wild Ultraman, iodized salt merchants, Mianyang’s super sound wave; all these amazing existences possessed my body. I was reborn at this critical moment and revived to full!
Beiming Xue and Murong Mingyue’s hearts were in their throats when they originally saw me die. They shrieked, but stopped halfway and instantly flushed red when they realized that I hadn’t died. “Wah, the Unkillable War God revived…”
With wide eyes and an upright posture, I looked toward Murong Mingyue’s excited face and trembling breasts, clearly enunciating every word. “Feed me, quick!”
Fucking hell, if I don’t get healed in time, the boss is gonna kill me again!
……
Clang clang clang…”
After a few clashes against the boss, he dealt as much damage to me as I did to him and I could only watch on as the durability of my equipment continuously fell. Good thing there was a little priest like Murong Mingyue behind me giving me lots of milk or else I wouldn’t have the slightest chance of winning.
He Yi closed in but I quickly voiced my dissent. “Don’t come, Eve. Someone will definitely die once the boss unleashes Death Combo!”
“Oh…” He Yi stood in place and began spectating the battle in a relaxed manner. The corner of her lips curled into a bewitching smile, looking like a weak, prideful princess.
He Yi asked, “Lu Chen, are you sure you can take on the boss’s next Death Combo? That skill’s cooldown doesn’t seem too long.”
I nodded. “Yes!”
After I said that, it really did come again!
Swhoosh!
Gold runes appeared all around the boss’s sharpsword. It slowly lifted its sword. What was sure to follow after was a storm of attacks!
I calmly fixed my gaze on the boss’s movements. If I dodged now, the boss might not use Death Combo and I wouldn’t be able to cheat this skill. But if I dodged too late, I would eat all four strikes. I could only dodge right when the boss finished locking on its animation.
Mn, there should be around a 0.2 second window of opportunity, which was around the limit of a human body’s reaction time.
Swish swish...
I shifted two steps back and the boss’s sword nearly sliced my nose when it descended.
MISS!
MISS!
MISS!
MISS!
……
“Haha, too cool!” He Yi was so happy that she was stamping her feet. “Our Lu Chen truly is an unrivaled expert to have been able to dodge even that!”
I raised my sword and continued fighting the boss. I answered with a smile without turning my head around, “Boss, don’t lie… There are at least ten active players in China who can dodge like that!”
“Oh? Go on…”
“First off, Candlelight Shadow and his four subordinates—Tempest Shadow, Blue Sky Scar, God’s Dance, and Transient Smoke and Clouds. All five of them are experts in the CGL Hall of Fame and are top-class when it comes to mechanics. Dodging this kind of attack wouldn’t be a problem for them.”
“And?”
“Floating Ice City has two other people who can make this boss miss its Death Combo!”
“Who?”
“Wind Fantasy and Dominating Heaven Blade…”
“...”
