Chapter 530: Flying General (2/2)
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun was a very intelligent person, he knew that his own Attack hadn’t reached a superlative level yet, so he wisely stood away from the boss and used his mount’s ability to extend his skills by 23 yards to launch attacks to launch attacks from the distance. Even though his damage paled in comparison to mine, he was in a very safe position. He wouldn’t be hit by the boss’ dragonbreath or Golden Barrier Blade.
……
It wasn’t really very hard to shave off the last 10% of this giant dragon’s life. At the critical moment of the fight, I immediately activated my God’s Rage skill and raised my crit rate to 100%. I immediately followed this up with Universe Break and Pardon + basic attack to maximize my damage. As light exploded out of my sword at a furious rate, everyone’s jaws dropped open as they said, “Lu Chen is going all out…”
After a furious chain of attacks, the boss was finally reduced to its last sliver of health. Gui Guzi and I pulled out all stops at this moment, we were doing everything in our power to get 50% of the experience this boss would give.
However, truth was often stranger than fiction and the outcome was often something that no one had expected in the first place. When the golden dragon’s health had dropped so low that we couldn’t even see it anymore, Gui Guzi and I both used our Break skills. However, it was when our attacks were winding up that a beam of sword energy whistled through the air and smacked into the One-horned Golden Dragon’s belly.
Thud!
927!
It just so happened that the boss only had a few hundred HP left, so it roared in misery as it collapsed to the ground. To think that it had died just like this!
……
At the same moment, the excited ringing of the system notice filled the air.
System Announcement: Player “Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun (Sky City)” has successfully defeated the Earth Rank boss, One-horned Golden Dragon and reached level 125. They have met the criteria to become a Famous General and they are the twenty-fourth Famous General of China! Luck +1, Tactics +1, and the exclusive Famous General Skill, “Flying General”!
Flying General: Beseech the power of the war god and increase the movement speed of all mounted party members by 100%. This skill’s effectiveness is affected by the user’s Tactics. Skill exclusive to player Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun.
……
What the fuck!? Flying General? A Famous General Skill that would increase the movement speed of all riders by 100%? This… this was a sibling to Gui Guzi’s Knight God skill! They could first use Flying General to perform a blitzkrieg attack on the enemy lines before switching out the Knight God to commence the killing. Knight God + Flying General. This was a killer combination that was practically made for the riders in this game, the current “mobility kings” of this game of swords and sorcery.
A wide grin instantly appeared on Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun’s face. His loud laughter rang in the air as he said, “Wah, I finally got myself a Famous General Skill! This old boy has finally become a Famous General. Little Gui, how do you feel about that?”
Gui Guzi patted him on the shoulder and said, “We are going to be brothers forever!”
“Hahaha…” Li Chengfeng was also laughing out loud. He said, “Little Gui, Eighteen, the two of you will be the ultimate shock cavalry troops of Ancient Swords Dreaming Souls. Yeah, in the Nation Wars and battles over territory, your Famous General Skills will become more and more important. That will be the time for the both of you to step onto the big stage and dazzle the whole world!”
Li Chengfeng was truly a world-class general. At the very least, he was for Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. He had been able to provide such penetrating insight the moment we got that new Famous General Skill, and it was truly difficult to find these sorts of people.
……
At this time, I stepped onto the golden dragon’s corpse and started to sort through our spoils of victory. I soon discovered a bunch of golden-colored scales. These were golden dragon scales! I immediately threw these scales into my inventory. After all, I was the best person in the guild to protect these precious scales.
“Guild leader, it’s time to hand out the equipment!” I said as I moved to the side.
He Yi nodded her head and walked up to where I was standing. After that, she kept all of the items that the One-horned Golden Dragon had dropped in her inventory and thrust Whirlwind into the ground with a loud crack!
She smiled at everyone and said, “Before we divide the spoils of this battle, I want to say something first. If it’s something that isn’t a heavy armor item or an item that adds to Defence, we are all free to roll for it. But if it is one of the two types of item I just mentioned, I would suggest that we give priority to Gui Guzi and Lu Chen. After all, we still have to challenge the rest of the Nine Lost Dragon Domains. Our probability of beating the bosses that await us will depend on how good their equipment is and it is only by further strengthening them that we can go the distance!”
High Fighting Spirits spun his Invincible in the air before he laughed and said boisterously, “Our guild leader is exactly right! I support her unconditionally!”
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun said, “I’ve just been paddling along the sidelines, so even getting all of that experience from the boss is good enough for me…”
In truth, I hadn’t gotten any experience from that boss just now. All of it had gone to Gui Guzi’s Knight God squad. Ah, who would have expected Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun to land the final blow?
Since everyone had agreed to what she just said, He Yi started dividing the spoils. There was a golden spear, a formidable-looking shield the color of deep gold, a pair of dark green leather leggings, and a garnet chestplate that sparkled with a prismatic light. This didn’t look bad at all!
Of course there was still one more item, and it was the item that had attracted the most attention to it so far! It was a round and shiny pet egg!
