Chapter 288: Barbaric Rend (1/2)
”No! I never killed the old, sickly, women or children…”
”Tch!”
Lin Yixin glared at me. ”Where the hell did your mind wander off to? I wasn’t even telling you to kill and rob people. I was only suggesting that you go buy some supplies from them.”
”Oh, I see. If that’s the case, they’ll be better off being killed.”
”...”
At this time, He Yi shouted, ”Look, something’s approaching. Is it the seventh wave’s boss?”
Everyone gazed into the distance. He Yi’s guess was on point. A humongous black shadow was racing over from afar. It was a reptile 4 to 7 times bigger than an Earth Lizard. It was practically a moving fortress.
”Fuck, how cool would it be if I could catch it to use as a mount…” Gui Guzi licked his lips.
Beming Xue turned and said. ”It’s a big lizard so there’ll be tons of pimples on its back. Gui Guzi, you don’t feel that it’s disgusting to sit on?”
I smiled. ”No problem, Little Gui’s always been that hardcore!”
Gui Guzi smiled noncommittally. ”Prepare for battle. There are only 19 of us so I don’t know how many casualties we’ll suffer to kill this boss!”
I walked to the front with my Purgatory Sword and faced the crowd. ”Form two attack teams. All dropped items will be distributed based on roll. What do you think?”
Lin Yixin and Luo River God of the Capital nodded. This meant that my idea went through; the rest were my people.
……
”Melees, alternate your Charges. Please pay close attention to your safety and allow Lu Chen to be the first point of focus!” Lin Yixin said loudly. And so I was pushed to the front line.
The huge lizard had already charged over within the fog and its stats appeared before my eyes—
Orma the Skullbreaker (Purple Gold Rank Boss)
Level: 90
Attack: 1020~1350
Defense: 1000
HP: 500000
Skills: All-round Sweep, War Stampede, Barbaric Rend
Introduction: King of the Rank 7 guardians. Beast King Orma was an incredibly strong lizard that lived deep within a forest. After being summoned by the power of darkness, the huge Earth Lizard’s entire race became the servants of the Night Creatures. This Earth Lizard King had always guarded this city shrouded in darkness.
……
I couldn’t help gasping when I saw its stats and said in the party channel, ”Watch out everyone, the boss has a max Attack of 1350. Melee fighters aside, other classes will definitely get one-shot. Even a mage with Magic Shield active might not withstand a single blow. Everyone spread out and prepare for battle!”
”Alright!” Luo River God of the Capital nodded.
By then, I’d already locked onto the boss and activated Charge!
Whoosh!
I arrived before the Lizard King in the blink of an eye and saw it raise its head, mouth open. The stun would only last 1 second so I quickly made my move.
MISS!
3014!
Even though I had used Pardon, I still couldn’t break a substantial amount of its Defense. Its overall HP was 500k too. It was going to be a tough foe!
Crack!
The moment the boss recovered from the stun, I had already sent down a basic attack and the Paralysis Ring’s effects procced. I’d successfully paralyzed the boss for 3 more seconds!
The melee players behind me all used Charge one after another. Lin Yixin, He Yi, Purple Marquis, Xu Yang, Gui Guzi, and the rest all consecutively unleashed Blaze, Flame Thrust, Extreme Break and the like, instantly deleting a small chunk of the boss’s HP pool!
From afar, Beiming Xue let go of the string and fired her special Volley, arrows infused with evil spirits hitting Lizard King right on the head. She then swapped to Freezing Arrow to slow the boss!
Luo River God of the Capital’s attack was even more violent. She waved the Purgatory Scepter and multiple Ice Dragon Howls descended from the sky, each dealing close to 4000 damage to the boss. Tsk tsk, this kind of magic attack is seriously strong!
Murong Mingyue gave up attacking and went back to healing the melee players who weren’t at full health. It was the most logical decision since killing this boss didn’t require pure DPS. It needed huge heals for us to survive, since the boss’s vast HP pool made this fight into a battle of attrition. Brute force wouldn’t be enough to solve this problem. Our advantage lay in teamwork and strong healing abilities.
Once the boss recovered from the paralysis, it immediately lifted a claw and heavily slapped me on the shoulder. I felt a scorching pain and before I could do anything, the surroundings were filled with bloody light. It was the visual effects of War Stampede!
1505!
1634!
1847!
……
I took 1505 damage, and the melee players nearby all took damage. Gui Guzi, Lin Yixin, and a few of our close range fighters had also lost a chunk of HP. Luckily, Murong Mingyue and Moon Dew quickly replenished our losses, though barely managing to do so.
However, the Lizard King soon started attacking again. It curled up like a coiled snake!
”What’s going on?” Lin Yixin gaped as she looked at the boss with astonishment.
He Yi was shocked. ”Not good, it’s an attack animation!”
”Huh?” Gui Guzi was also shocked.
Half a second later, the Lizard King suddenly extended its body and rapidly swiveled its body. Its long tail struck everything around it at the speed of lightning, dealing tons of damage to the surrounding players!
All-round Sweep!
