Chapter 629: Powerleveling (1/2)
Murong Mingyue was also staring at me in astonishment. ”Lu Chen, you really are OP as hell. I can’t believe you killed an Immortal Rank boss at this stage of the game…”
I replied with a grimace, ”You’re both overthinking this. I have not killed an Immortal Rank boss. In fact any Immortal Rank boss can more or less one-shot me at this stage. This Phantom Wolf King is actually the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf, it has just evolved and become tens of times stronger than it used to be after merging together with the loyal guardian soul…”
”Evolve? Merging?”
Unfortunately my explanation only made them completely confused. I had no choice but to spend a moment to tell them about Mengchuan and Dada. At the end of the story, they both lamented the sad death of Dada from the bottom of their hearts. Still, Dada’s soul was able to merge with the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf’s. It wasn’t the worst ending, all things considered.
……
The girls paid the Phantom Wolf King special care and attention after that, although, to be fair, the wolf cub did look pretty cute. It was especially attractive to older sister-type girls like He Yi and Murong Mingyue.
Murong Mingyue smiled at me after making sure that the Phantom Wolf King was secure. ”Alright, you can go aggro the mobs now, Lu Chen. I’ll make sure that your wolf cub is safe and sound.
”Mn. Activate the party sharing mode, sis!”
”What party sharing mode?” Murong Mingyue asked in confusion.
I nearly puked blood when I heard that. ”How do you not know about this? It’s common sense! If you have multiple parties in one big party, you can activate party sharing mode and split the experience based on DPS, damage taken, and HPS. Party sharing mode is limited to 3 subparties at most. Eve and I will be using Martial God, but you should make a subparty and activate Bright Mirror for that 100% healing boost. If your effective HPS is high enough, you can gain more experience than you normally would.”
Murong Mingyue nodded in understanding. ”I had no idea. That sounds great, hehe!”
And so our party split into two subparties. He Yi and I shared one, and Murong Mingyue, the other.
I wasn’t worried though. This time Murong Mingyue was by my side.
……
”Jiejie…”
The Undead Roland Soldiers let out guttural cackles and chased after me as I zigzagged between them in full concentration. I made sure that I was close enough to brush past their aggro zone, but never close enough for them to actually reach me. Having perfect distance control meant that I was never really in danger.
Rustle rustle rustle...
When I finally ran back to the party, at least seven hundred Undead Roland Soldiers were chasing after me. They flooded toward us like tidewater.
After cutting into my position and turning around rapidly, I tilted my body toward He Yi a little and said in a low voice, ”Get ready. Don’t let the pets attack. Having them take up space is enough.”
”Okay,” replied both girls.
A short while later, the first group of Undead Roland Soldiers reached us amidst a cacophony of shouting. I immediately launched Thousand Ice Slash to freeze them!
Over 70% of the hit mobs were frozen, and a column of damage numbers rose above their heads. Although they were Level 165 and of the ancient class, the skill still deleted a ton of their HP. 40% splash effect was no joke after all.
At the same time, He Yi unleashed her own Green Wave Slash into the mob. Thanks to Martial God drastically boosting her attack power, her DPS couldn’t be underestimated as well.
Next, I executed Burning Blade Slash and dropped the dozen mobs standing in front of me to low health. A couple of basic attacks from He Yi later, four Undead Roland Soldiers dropped dead in the blink of an eye. It was that quick.
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh…
At the corner, golden light surrounded the Phantom Wolf King and increased its level 4 times in a row. There was so much experience that it was leveling up like a rocket!
High reward didn’t come without high risks, however. The mobs immediately attacked me like crazy after they reached me!
5 Undead Roland Soldiers swung their blades at my Crimson Rock Dragon Armor wildly, causing sparks and damage numbers to fly all over the place. Because their levels were too high, I even ate 2 critical hits amid these attacks. It was quite dangerous to say the least—
2091!
4228!
4012!
1979!
……
I lost over 20k HP in just two rounds of attacks. However, thanks to the Blood Rage effect of the Cyan Netherworld Sword, War Crush also damaged the dozen mobs surrounding me and converted 10% of it to HP. I was able to recoup 10k+ HP as a result.
Enraged, the Undead Roland Soldiers used their unique skill, Dying Strike. The skill had a high chance of ignoring its target’s Defense, so I dropped all the way down to ⅓ HP again.
