Chapter 485: Soul Arrow Rain (1/2)

None of the melee fighters in this party were noobs, and we had all seen just how powerful God Dancer’s Flame Blast was, so none of them was going to swarm toward her in a group. Instead, everyone had scattered and were approaching her from different angles as they let the high HP and Defense players like He Yi, Gui Guzi, and Lin Yixin to form the first line against her. The players who weren’t the main tanks were slowly closing in on God Dancer from all directions as they prepared to pull aggro at any moment. In fact, the entire formation resembled an Eight Trigrams formation.

……

”Let me try to lure her over!” Gui Guzi shouted as he valiantly charged toward the boss. As he shot forward, Rainbow transformed into three blood-colored streaks of light which exploded on God Dancer’s back. Fragments of blood-colored energy exploded in the air as three respectable damage numbers popped up above God Dancer’s head.

4569!

4428!

4501!

Gui Guzi’s attack power wasn’t bad. At the very least, it was high enough to draw God Dancer’s attention. Her beautiful face darkened as she spun around, her figure as exquisite as her face was. Her jade flute whistled through the air as she gently flicked her arm forward.

Crack!

It flashed with a bloody light as it made contact with armor protecting Gui Guzi’s neck. She had broken through his defenses in a single hit! Not even Gui Guzi’s high Defense could hold up against God Dancer’s insane attack power.

8893!

Everyone in the party grew somber when we saw how much damage she had dealt to Gui Guzi. I hurriedly spoke up, ”Everyone, pay attention to how much aggro you’re drawing! Let’s try our best to let Gui Guzi soak the hits. Priests, I want you to focus most of your healing on him…”

It was at this precise moment that God Dancer raised her jade flute in the air again. She had suddenly conjured up a lightning-quick Flame Blast. As the ball of fire engulfed Gui Guzi, an extremely high damage number flew up into the air!

14899!

She had performed a physical and magic attack combo, instantly dropping Gui Guzi’s health by more than half. Her DPS was out of this world! It also targeted Gui Guzi’s Achilles Heel. As a magic knight whose primary role was to break through enemy lines, his Magic Resist was very low. At the very least, it was far lower than mine. It was a weakness that was very hard to avoid since his character wasn’t built to tank many magic attacks.

”Charge!”

I activated Thunderous Charge and rushed forward with a ”whooshing” sound. Bolts of lightning collided with God Dancer as I charged straight into her, but I didn’t manage to stun her. I immediately followed up my charge with a Burning Blade Slash. Three fiery crescent blades of sword energy smashed straight into God Dancer’s chest. The attack shook her so violently that her chestplate rattled as three eye-popping damage numbers flew above her head!

11093!

14728!

37904!

Everyone practically stopped breathing when they saw how much damage I had just dealt. Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun’s eyes widened into saucers as he exclaimed, ”Damn, Lu Chen! Are you still even human!? How the hell did you boost your attack power so high!? Bloody hell…”

I grinned as I smoothly moved to the side of God Dancer and used War Crush.

Hmph! It was inevitable for my attack power to be high. I mean, the combination of stats and passives given by my God Suppressing Necklace, God Suppressing Helmet, and Silver Dragon Ring was completely ridiculous! They were three 5-star Outstanding Spirit-grade items after all. Furthermore, I had also taken advantage of the effect of Lin Yixin’s Extreme Break. My damage was bound to be an absolute nightmare for any boss to deal with!

However, the damage I dealt had also undoubtedly attracted the God Dancer’s aggro. After I attacked her, she immediately ignored all the other foes around her and shot me a glare with her hate-filled eyes. She suddenly sprang into the air, the desire to kill me burning in her heart. Her snowy white feet kicked against Gui Guzi’s face as she used him as a springboard to get to me. The jade flute in her hand turned into a green blur as it shot toward me!

Damn! This was pretty much a bloody nuke!

I hurriedly raised up the Heaven-stealing Sword in front of me. Surely I could Guard against one attack, right?

However, God Dancer’s attack power far exceeded even my expectations. As that jade flute heavily smashed into the blade of my Heaven-Stealing Sword, a small, contemptuous smile appeared on her face. All of the sudden, the jade flute smacked aside the Heaven-stealing Sword before it crashed into my chest. I immediately felt an intense pain that shook my entire body!

10973!

What the fuck, her attack power was seriously ridiculous! However, my physical Defense was a fair bit lousier than Gui Guzi’s, so this was the expected outcome.

God Dancer did not let up. She sketched a pattern before thrusting that jade flute into the air once more. A ball of fierce flames gathered in front of her. This was the opening sequence to her Flame Blast skill, and it only took 0.5 seconds to cast, so there wasn’t a lot of time to react.

However, half a second was still more than enough for me. A cluster of blood-colored energy suddenly erupted from my left hand and swirled around it violently. I dashed forward as quick as a serpent and sent a heavy punch crashing into God Dancer’s abdomen. This was my sure-fire interruption skill—Magic Piercing Punch!

Bang!

10983!

The heavy blow not only sent God Dancer staggering backward, it also forcibly canceled the Flame Blast that was just about to shoot toward me. This gave me a chance to recover some health. If God Dancer smacked me again before that, I’d be in some real danger!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

+3984!

+4590!

+3173!

Murong Mingyue’s healing skills fired off three consecutive times! Her heals were extremely powerful and brought me back up to full health in an instant. Li Chengfeng then used a combo of Dragonbone Flurry and Cyan Dragon Horn to pull God Dancer’s aggro away from me. He Yi also launched a flurry of attacks at God Dancer with Whirlwind, triggering its ”Hurricane” effect. God Dancer was immediately engulfed by a hurricane, her health rapidly dropping. Now her aggro was being pulled in several directions, she smacked He Yi with her jade flute while she greeted Li Chengfeng with a Flame Blast. However, because her attention was divided, she didn’t one-shot anybody.
