Chapter 340: Windchaser (1/2)
Crack!
A vast power formed behind me and I shot out like lightning. The path of my charge was filled with lightning. This time, Thunderous Charge procced its paralysis effect!
Pfft!
The Armored Rhino remained motionless. Lightning snakes rampaged through its body. It was stunned by the lightning, and this would last for 5 seconds. This fused skill was too strong!
I swung the Purgatory Sword repeatedly, the Pardon + Desperate Gambit + basic attack. Under the three-hit combo, I created two relatively impressive damage numbers—
MISS!
6082!
2895!
……
Tsk tsk, such powerful damage!
Before the Armored Rhino woke up from its stun, I continued to cut and slash. When it was about to wake up, the Paralysis Ring's effect procced, and it was dazed again!
After multiple swings, I retreated. I raised my left hand with great power. A green energy sword appeared in the air and then crashed on the Armored Rhino's head!
3984!
This Dragon Slaying Slash was too enjoyable!
Dragon Slaying Slash I had about 105% damage of a basic attack, but created damage far beyond a basic attack. I was shocked by this, and thought about it. The Dragon Rock Fireball must not have been an absolute physical attack. After merging with Dragon Rock Fireball, this Dragon Slaying Slash had at least 50% Magic Attack!
I thought of this and couldn't help getting excited. The Dragon Slaying Slash's attack was so amazing. I could create massive damage against metal armor or leather armor, regardless of their armor type? This was amazing. In Heavenblessed, most bosses and monsters were heavily-armored. If I used the Dragon Slaying Slash to kill them, its effect would be double!
My feet shifted as I quickly moved through the forest. I repeatedly released the Dragon Slaying Slash. The cyan blades crashed on the Armored Rhino’s head so it could not attack or use a skill even once. The Armored Rhino died under five successive Dragon Slaying Slashes!
”Argh argh...”
The Armored Rhino died with a scream, dropping a Phantasmal Magic Stone, and its skin. I picked it up and looked. Rank 8 material used for leather armor. Not bad. I placed it into my bag. I would give it to Yamete later and make him the best armorsmith of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Yamete was very diligent recently, and used Murong Mingyue as his target. He furiously leveled up and practiced his skills as though he was having his second spring.
I probably should have needed at least half of my HP to kill a Level 112 elite. But with the power of Dragon Slaying Slash and my Thunderous Charge that could stun the monster for 5 seconds, I could retreat and use Dragon Slaying Slash to attack, and greatly increase my grinding efficiency. I had no need for recovery and could go kill the next Armored Rhino.
I released the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf to level up together. The Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf was relatively low-level, and it could get rich experience from killing these Armored Rhinos with levels much higher than it. It could go up a level by fighting every fifteen minutes or so. It wouldn't take much time to reach my own, Level 97.
After fighting for a while, I found a blue dot on the map. I found there was a group of human NPC military temporarily resting in the forest. Their levels weren't high. Two Level 90 swordsmen, a Level 94 assassin, and a Level 95 mage.
The two swordsmen were sorrily off, their metal armor covered in cracks. They clearly had experienced a fierce battle and their broadswords were pitted. They panted heavily on the ground, their expressions ugly. The mage was an old man of about 60 who held a staff with a ruby embedded at the top. The edges of the ruby were burnt. He was also badly off. This old mage was likely the leader of this adventurer team. He was called ”Jon the Windchaser”. He should be a wind-type mage.
Crack...
The Windchaser panted as he held the staff and said, ”Such a strong monster. I hadn't expected the Dragonbone Mountains to be so dangerous. Pitiful Bush, trampled to death by the rhinos the first time he came here...”
The Level 94 assassin NPC was a woman and moved the blades in her hand. She said, ”Grandfather Jon, we need to take some of the responsibility for Bush's death. We underestimated the Armored Rhino's attack power and savagery...”
”Right!”
The Windchaser nodded and said, ”What should we do now? We cannot complete Lord Arthas’s quest. Even if we return to the city, Lord Arthas will be displeased and even send us to the border forts as manual laborers...”
The assassin's gaze was cold. ”Or are we going to... betray Floating Ice City, and our past oaths sworn under Princess Karinshan's banner for this quest?”
A swordsman stood up and gritted his teeth. ”Damn it, that Lord Arthas is greedy and cruel. For the rhinos’ hearts, he had made us come to this terrifying place. This kind of savage and selfish nobility is not worth us sacrificing our lives over!”
”Shut up, Merlin, you want to profane against the monarchy?”
