Chapter 295: Invincible (1/2)
We walked up to the low-leveled leader of the Night Creatures, Iron Skull General Wind Fury, until we were less than ten steps away from him. His back was facing toward us, but his fluttering white cape, craggy dragonskin armor and the air cyclones swirling beneath his feet still put immense pressure on us.
In that moment, I even felt an illogical, subconscious urge to look up to this boss, as if it was a great figure of sorts.
Rustle rustle...
Wind Fury abruptly turned around and glared at us with his bloody eyes. “Are you here to die as well?”
……
The question caught Lin Yixin off-guard, but she clenched her teeth and activated Charge immediately. “So what if we are!?”
Swhoosh!
I hurriedly activated my own Charge because I couldn’t let her fight the boss alone. But all our efforts accomplished were two beautiful MISSes. His level was so high he was immune to our CC!
Surging with killing intent, Wind Fury slashed Lin Yixin right across the shoulder!
Pu!
A shocking amount of blood entered my vision, and I knew immediately that Lin Yixin had suffered a grievous blow!
4107!
What a monster! Lin Yixin only had around 4500 HP, but the boss still nearly one-shot her with a basic attack! It was so powerful that it almost contradicted all logic!
“Die!”
Lin Yixin’s pretty little face almost turned purple when the boss swung its sword at her a second time. However, a golden light suddenly paralyzed it right before it could hit her! It was the Paralysis Ring showing its true power. Although the boss could ignore skills’ CC components through sheer stats, it couldn’t ignore passive combat effects such as paralysis.
I seized the opportunity to fire an Ice Ray!
Pu!
1765!
I felt like crying when I saw the pitiful amount of damage I did. If even I, with my impressive attack power, could only do so much, then it was no wonder those pitiful archers couldn’t do more than 10 damage!
I heard two twangs behind me, and two arrows plunged into the boss’s body. It was Beiming Xue’s Freezing Arrow, a skill that could reduce the boss’s movement speed by a significant margin. However, since our opponent was an Epic Rank boss, the slow debuff was reduced by at least 70%!
Wind Fury glared fiercely at me. The instant the paralysis effect vanished, it immediately raised the Arctic Storm into the air and slashed the ground apart with reddish power! The earth trembled as lightning surged toward me. It was yet another War Crush!
War Crush’s range was 5 yards, and it was impossible to dodge because it had a channeling time of 0.5 seconds at most! I might be able to move 2 to 3 yards in 0.5 seconds, but 5? It was literally impossible.
Stance—Guard!
Bang bang bang!
The thunderous triple-hit attack made me feel like my body was being torn apart. At the same time, three damage numbers appeared above my head—
1208!
567!
1004!
……
Fuck, I lost that much HP even after guarding. No wonder even those Level 85 magic knights had dropped like flies! The boss’s attack power is seriously fucking insane!
My head flashed twice with holy light as Murong Mingyue and Moon Dew healed me, but I was only alarmed by their actions. Guard reset aggro, and heals were very “attention-grabbing” to say the least! They’re in danger!
It was as I had predicted. The boss immediately gave up on me and charged toward Murong Mingyue and Moon Dew instead!
Swhoosh!
He Yi activated Charge and blocked the boss’s path. It was impossible to tell if she was confident or nervous, but she tried to delay the boss by zigzagging twice in front of it. Her movement was inexperienced and unpracticed, but she still managed to delay the boss by around 1 second!
Lin Yixin finally arrived at the boss’s side and plunged her dagger into his dantian, eyes gleaming with the power of Moon Gaze. Even I felt pain just staring at the powerful attack!
3074!
Extreme Break was as powerful as before, it seemed!
The aggro was now transferred to Lin Yixin, but she wasn’t strong enough to defend against its attack. I fearlessly ran up to the boss and executed Pardon + Desperate Gambit combo!
MISS!
11054!
Very good, a critical hit at a critical moment!
