Chapter 541: Rock Crush (2/2)

A few minutes later, the lolling wolf cheerfully ran back to my side while it was chased by two hundred or so murderous Earth Triceradragons. The mob wasn’t particularly big—it was as big as a rhino in real life, I supposed—so killing them in groups was pretty feasible.

Thud!

The Greedy Wolf accidentally rammed its head into Chaos Moon’s thighs and let out a painful whine. The girl couldn’t help but stare at it and said, ”How dare you look like that after you copped a feel of my legs! Lu Chen, your pet is just as shameless as you are!”

I curled my lips. ”I have never touched your legs.”

Chaos Moon smiled brightly. ”Oh really? You can fix that now if you want…”

”Focus, the mobs are coming…”

”Mu.”

Chaos Moon stopped joking around and waited for the Earth Triceradragons to reach us. I threw out the Ice Cyclone Domain to slow down the mob’s attack speed, reduce the damage we take and alleviate some of Moon Dew’s pressure later.

Bang!

The first Earth Triceradragons rammed its horns into Chaos Moon’ shoulder and elicited a painful yelp from the girl. She immediately repaid the favor with a Barrier Break.

I swung my sword and kicked off with a Thousand Ice Slash. Many Earth Triceradragons were hit and frozen by the skill.

Next, I executed Burning Blade Slash and fired three burning sword auras into the mobs, dealing a ton of damage. Then, pleasantly surprised by a chill from the Silver Dragon Ring, I followed up with a Silver Dragon Storm that engulfed a group of mobs and reduced their HP to almost nothing in an instant. The girls were so pleased by the amount of damage I was doing that they declared that they might just leech onto me forever.

I kept using my four AoE skills—War Crush, Burning Blade Slash, Silver Dragon Storm and Thousand Ice Slash—whenever possible. Since my critical hit rate was pretty high, I was mowing down the mobs like a lawn mower. According to Chaos Moon, my DPS was almost ten times as high as hers, and Moon Dew fully agreed with that assessment.

Less than twenty minutes later, almost all of the Earth Triceradragons were killed, and the ground in front of us was fully stacked in equipment. Before this, we would have had to share these equipment with the guild, but now we could keep all of these to ourselves. It was an amazing feeling to say the least.

Pop!

The last Earth Triceradragons screamed in despair before dying beneath my Heaven-stealing Sword. To my surprise, it dropped a light blue-colored skill book. It was incredibly eye-catching as it was the only skill book amidst a pile of equipment.

”What’s that?” Chaos Moon asked. Although the skill book was almost right next to her, she didn’t pick it up because I was the main damage dealer of the party. She was a smart girl, and it was one of the reasons she did incredibly well in the guild. After all, it was hard to dislike a girl who was both cute and sensible. It wasn’t like there was no demand for unruly and thoughtless girls, but the market was a lot smaller so to speak.

……

I picked up the skill book and felt a faint but heavy energy seeping into my palms. I waved a hand across the skill book, and its contents manifested in the form of a hologram—

Rock Crush: Beseech the power of the earth and launch a sword qi in front of you, dealing AoE damage. Level Requirement: 120. Class Requirement: Warrior, magic knight, Wanderer.

……

”Holy shit, it’s an AoE skill?” My eyes widened.

Chaos Moon cocked her head at me before stabbing her sword to the ground and bending her waist a little. She smiled at me and said, ”Oh oh, congratulations to hero Lu Chen for gaining a new AoE skill!”

I shook my head with a smile. ”Are you aware of the cooldown restriction on AoE skills, Chaos Moon?”

”Sure. Why are you asking?”

”A player can only execute a maximum of two close-ranged AoE skills in 6 seconds, and I already have Burning Blade Slash and Thousand Ice Slash. Therefore, this skill book is completely wasted if I use it, not to mention that it’ll be ungentlemanly to do so knowing that a certain female warrior right next to me still doesn’t have her own AoE skill. Also, you are a core member of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. You can’t not have an AoE skill…”

I tossed the skill book to her hands and gave her a smile. ”Now learn it already and stop being a burden. When the next battle begins, I want you to pull your own weight and stop kill-stealing my mobs with Barrier Break, yeah?”

”Er, got it…” Chaos Moon accepted the skill book with a grateful smile and said, ”Thank you, Lu Chen. I understand now why so many girls fell for an animal like you…”

”You’re the animal…”
