Chapter 344: Twilight Ring (1/2)
This was my chance to kill Dren the Law Controller before Thunder Axe returned. As a mage, Dren’s Defense and HP were pitifully low, so killing him should be pretty easy as long as his magical powers didn’t exceed my endurance.
After checking the boss’s stats, I grew even more confident in the viability of my tactic—
Dren the Law Controller (Dark Gold Rank Boss)
Level: 110
Magic Attack: 1050~1245
Defense: 750
HP: 150000
Skills: Flame Ball, Rain of Blaze, Flame Blast
Introduction: One of the palace magicians of Floating Ice City. Possesses great mastery in the art of fire magic.
……
My mind made up, I leaped out of my hiding!
Darting between the trees and running toward my unsuspecting enemies, I locked onto Dren and activated Thunderous Charge!
Whoosh!
I hit Dren like a literal lightning bolt as snakes of electricity ravaged his body for a moment, stunning him for 5 full seconds. Thunderous Charge really was the enhanced version of Charge. Its success rate against bosses was much higher than that of the average Charge!
I raised the Purgatory Sword and unleashed Pardon, a basic attack and War Crush in quick succession. Let’s delete a huge chunk of HP from Dren’s health bar before he could activate his Magic Shield!
MISS!
6043!
3885!
3987!
3867!
……
That was over 17000 damage in one combo. Dren the Law Controller had less than 150k HP, so it shouldn’t be too difficult for me to kill it!
I continued to carve holes into the boss’s body until he finally broke out of the stun. Utterly furious, he hit the ground with his staff and shouted, “Are you trying to kill me, you damned assassin?”
I responded with a slash to the neck. “Damn right I am!”
Boom!
At the same time, flames burst out of the earth beneath the boss’s feet and engulfed me completely. For an instant, I felt like my body was broken down into ashes. Three damage numbers rose above my head in a row—
1984!
1987!
1992!
……
I dropped to low health immediately. Holy shit, that was the boss’s Flame Blast skill! Its damage was definitely not to be underestimated!
I calmly drank a Rank 8 Health Potion and saved myself from the immediate danger of death, the number “+3000” appearing above my head. However, I couldn’t let the boss continue unleashing his spells on me either. I only had 7340 HP, I wasn’t accompanied by a priest, and the rank of my Regeneration of the Undead wasn’t high enough to outlast the boss’s damage!
Crack!
3249!
The Purgatory Sword tore apart the boss’s clothes again, enraging him even further. The fire mage then chanted a spell and protected himself with a Magic Shield!
I continued hacking away at the boss’s shield, but he was surprisingly quick on his feet. He kept retreating while launching fireball after fireball at me, dealing a continuous amount of damage—754, 689, 549—to me. It was annoying to say the least!
Crack crack crack!
After hitting him three times in a row and still failing to break his shield, I gritted my teeth and fired a Dragon Slaying Slash!
Pu!
The energy blade hit the enemy’s Magic Shield squarely and greatly reduced its durability. Then, I made a beeline toward the boss and struck his shield again. Finally, the Magic Shield shattered like an eggshell, and I seized the opportunity to zigzag behind the boss. Then, I carved up his back with Pardon and Desperate Gambit!
