Chapter 363: Forums Battle (1/2)
Ecstatic at this discovery, I quickly raised my arm as power coursed through me. In the next instant, a giant cyan blade appeared in the air above the ice cave and ruthlessly fell down, shaving off 1102 of Ziyu’s HP. I was exactly 40 yards from the boss so Dragon Slaying Slash could still be used. Hell yeah!
This Level 140 boss finally went berserk. He angrily yelled at me but it was to no avail. I still continued to attack him with one Dragon Slaying Slash after another and slowly whittled down his HP. At the same time, I took inventory of how many consumables I had. Nice, I still had several dozen stacks of high-rank consumables, enough for me to continuously use Dragon Slaying Slash.
Swoosh!
The berserk Ziyu suddenly launched an attack. He swung his sword and a streak of purple swordlight rushed out from its tip. His first long-range attack!
Long prepared for this, I took a quick step back, adding a yard of distance between us for a total of 41!
Whoosh!
The purple swordlight nearly touched my nose before it disappeared. The 40 yard range rule also applied to the boss. I was currently drowning in ecstasy right now. At this point, killing the boss had become a done deal because I could just continue to use Dragon Slaying Slash on the boss while it couldn’t harm me in turn since it didn’t have my high-level mechanics, nor did it know about a high-level tactic called kiting.
……
As I happily tossed down another Dragon Slaying Slash, Lin Yixin finally spoke up in the party channel, albeit cautiously: “Lu Chen, you haven’t died yet?”
“Mn!”
I grinned. “I’m killing the boss right now, but this’ll probably take me a while…”
“Oh, then did you pick up the Frozen Earth set pieces I dropped?”
“I have them, don’t worry about it.” I checked the time, then said, “It’s late Yiyi, go eat something and sleep early. When you get online tomorrow morning, you might even see my boss kill message…”
“OMG, an all nighter? You don’t want to live, do you…”
“I’m fine!”
“Alright then, don’t force yourself too hard…”
“Mn.”
……
Not long after, Lin Yixin logged off somewhat dejectedly. She had just reached Level 99 and was immediately killed back to Level 98. That kind of feeling wasn’t good at all. She originally could’ve had the chance to become the second fourth-promotion player but it seemed rather difficult now. Wind City’s Candlelight Shadow was already Level 99. With his tenacity and dedication, I doubt he’d log out before he reached Level 100.
To some degree, levels were extremely important in a virtual game.
Beep!
I suddenly received a message from He Yi: “Lu Chen, are you online?”
My heart skipped a beat and I immediately requested a voice call.
“Eve, you’re finally online now?”
“Yeah!” He Yi said in a blaming tone, “You bastard, it’s three or four in the morning in China right now, why are you still online? You’re pulling an all nighter again…”
I laughed. “I’ve got no choice this time since I’m dealing with a boss at the moment. Even if I wanted to log off I would just die unless I killed it...
“Oh? What kind of boss?”
I shared my screen, allowing He Yi to also see General Ziyu who was overflowing with divine might inside the ice cave. She was instantly stunned. “OMG, a Level 140 boss? It’s Spirit Rank too. Lu Chen, how’d you find such a high-rank boss? And you can even solo it? Lucky…”
I smiled. “When I was grinding in the Dragonbone Mountain Range, I was besieged by people from Gods of Destruction and fell down a cliff. That’s how I discovered this new map. You can say that I was pretty lucky because I’ll make a profit if I’m able to whittle down this boss tonight. I absolutely wouldn’t make a loss since this boss is at such a high level. It’ll definitely drop some awesome gear!”
“Okay then, good luck!” He Yi answered. “I haven’t logged on these past few days and I’ve fallen behind in levels. I’m Level 92 but you’re already 100 now. Forget it, I’ll also go grind some levels. There’s no meeting today so I can properly gain some EXP. It’s just that Mingyue and Beiming aren’t here.”
“They logged off already. Beauty sleep is important.”
“Yeah, I’m going to go grind now!”
“Alright!”
“Uhh…” He Yi seemed like she wanted to say something.
“What’s up, Eve?” I asked with a smile.
