Chapter 269: Heavenstealer’s Boots (2/2)
Fuck! It was a critical hit! Even with Rock Shield, He Yi wasn’t able to block the powerful chain attack. Just like that, our leader collapsed to the ground and died right before our eyes!
”You bastard!”
A nameless anger rose in my heart as I hacked away at the boss's flesh like I would turn it into mincemeat.
But He Yi’s sacrifice didn’t buy us much time. Less than ten seconds later, the King of Destruction raised his spear and started chanting his ultimate spell again!
At that moment, even I was feeling a sense of despair. Was the boss programmed to keep using Rain of Fire after dropping below 10%? If that was true, then how on earth are we going to beat it?
Suddenly, Lin Yixin snapped me out of my daze with a shout, ”It’s do or die! Lu Chen, use your Purple Dragon Howl now!”
At the same time, she ran toward the boss and executed Extreme Break in the blink of an eye. The boss's Defense was reduced by 80% as a result!
I backed off a few steps, ate a Magic Consumable to return to full MP and shouted, ”Sis, heal me!”
Swhoosh swhoosh!
I was at full health one instant heal later. I immediately clicked the skill button with the icon of a giant purple dragon on it!
”Roar!”
A tremendous amount of draconic energy surrounded me before focusing at the tip of my blade. Then, I sent the energy flying straight toward the King of Destruction!
”Roar roar!”
The purple blast engulfed the boss and ravaged its whole body. It did an insane amount of damage—
10874!
11847!
10423!
……
Even I was shocked by the amount of damage the skill was doing, though it was only thanks to Lin Yixin’s Extreme Break. The boss didn’t have nearly enough HP to withstand it!
Finally, the gigantic monster that was the King of Destruction collapsed to the ground!
Swhoosh swhoosh!
All four of us leveled up once and regained our lost levels!
”Aaah…”
Lin Yixin wiped the sweat on her face while looking like she was going to break down emotionally. ”Uu, we finally took down that boss. It was so, so powerful…”
I nodded. ”Yeah, it was a Purple Gold Rank boss. It would be stranger if it wasn’t this powerful!”
Murong Mingyue said, ”Let’s wait a minute for Eve. We can loot the body once she arrives!”
”Yeah!”
He Yi had used Knight’s Outrage to interrupt the boss and bought us some time. Waiting for her was the least we could do to repay her chivalrous spirit.
……
While we were waiting, Murong Mingyue suddenly curled her lips at me and asked, ”Hey Lu Chen, Eve died to save you, you know? Shouldn’t you show some grief at least?”
I nodded and walked up to He Yi’s corpse. Then, I dropped to one knee and started crying, ”Sob sob, boss, I didn’t want to see you off like this…”
Swhoosh!
Suddenly, my beautiful leader came back to life and blinded me with her long, white legs. At the same time, a dignified voice rang above my head, ”What the hell are you doing…”
I quickly jumped to my feet and said, ”It’s nothing. Anyway, let’s loot the boss, shall we? It’s really getting late!”
”Mn mn!”
He Yi followed behind me as we walked up to the boss. Just like before, they left the looting to me probably because they thought that I had lucky hands. It was a fact that almost all the loot that passed through my hands was pretty amazing.
I heaved the King of Destruction’s metal hoof into the air before dropping it to the side. There, I found a pile of items lying snugly on the ground underneath his body. First, I filtered the magic stones from my mind. Then, I looked for equipment and found a shiny spear, a bloody cape, and a pair of dark red-colored war boots. Finally, I found a skill book with purple light surrounding it!
I couldn’t help the smile on my face. ”I wonder if a Purple Gold Rank boss would drop a Purple Gold–grade equipment? Hahaha, how exciting!”
Lin Yixin also looked excited. ”I know right? Anyway, move your ass already, how much longer are you going to make us wait?”
He Yi nodded in agreement. ”Yeah, do it now!”
The girls insisted, so I had to comply. I carried the equipment in my arms and stared at the war boots first. The stat screen that popped up in front of us was stunning to say the least.
