Chapter 508: Mob (1/2)
……
”Hey, Lu Chen. Long time no see.”
The wooden fence was less than a meter wide, and Little Piglet greeted me with a smile from the opposite side. I was surprised to hear it, to be honest.
I grinned back. ”When is your contract with Wang Dongliang going to be over? Or are you actually planning to renew it? This would mean we would still be enemies though.”
Little Piglet laughed. ”Renew my contract? That’s not a bad idea. My guild leader treats me well, he pays me exactly the sum we agreed on, and he even introduced me to a couple of beautiful, sexy ladies from time to time. Every day, I get to enjoy a couple of drinks with the babes at the bar after I finish my day’s grinding. Pray tell, why would I give up such a wonderful life and move to a different guild?”
”Is that so?”
”Oh yes…” Little Piglet’s eyes suddenly brightened a little. ”Plus, staying in Hegemon Palace means I’ll get to fight powerful opponents like you. It’d be an incredibly lonely experience otherwise, hehe. You understand what I mean, don’t you?”
Instead of answering him, I abruptly thrust the Heaven-stealing Sword across the wooden fence. As a universe formation appeared beneath my feet, an azure energy appeared at the tip of my blade and stabbed Little Piglet in the chest. I then followed up with a Burning Blade Slash and hit Little Piglet three times in a row. 4 damage numbers appeared above his head in quick succession—
10984!
3879!
MISS!
739!
The first strike and Universe Break successfully deleted over 50% of Little Piglet’s HP because it was a skill that ignored most of the target’s Defense. However, the Burning Blade Slash didn’t perform nearly as well as I hoped it would. The first hit of the skill landed normally, but the second hit was dodged, and the third hit was knocked away by Little Piglet’s sword!
I should’ve known that this would happen. There was a short delay between each hit of the Burning Blade Slash, and while the skill was good enough to one-shot any first-rate player or below, Little Piglet didn’t fall under this category of players. There was also the fact that we were separated by a wooden fence, so I couldn’t move around and strike him from a difficult angle. Otherwise, there was still a good chance for me to one-shot Little Piglet. This was currently my strongest killer combo after all.
Little Piglet abruptly trailed off and thrust his own sword at me. It was an Ice Ray Flurry, and just like my skills the three icicles went right through the wooden fence!
I swung my sword swiftly to parry the skill. My body shuddered a little as three damage numbers rose above my head—
2014!
MISS!
237!
Little Piglet looked like he wanted to burst into tears when he saw the amount of damage he did to me. His Vajra boosted his Defense but not his Attack, so forget one-shotting a skilled, tanky player like me, he might not be able to kill me even if I gave him 10 seconds to attack me as he wished.
I smiled at Little Piglet and said, ”Let’s go for another round!”
Little Piglet looked a bit unhappy as he ordered, ”Men, seal off this part of the wall!”
The magic knights he commanded instantly moved to the walls. They were all riding mounts, and they held their shields up high. As a result, our frontliners’ vision and attack range were greatly reduced. Even the archers’ Far Shots were slightly affected by the maneuver.
I waited a couple of seconds before launching an attack again. This time, I aimed at the magic knight directly in front of me. First, I used Universe Break. Then, I used the Burning Blade Slash!
14590!
4092!
3902!
4123!
The series of attacks dropped the magic knight to low health instantly. In fact, he would’ve died already if he wasn’t healed by his priests. He stumbled backward in panic and tried to retreat, but I eliminated the last bit of his health with one last Dragon Slaying Slash.
