Chapter 632: Broadsword Storm (1/2)
I swallowed audibly before I casually traced out the strategy we were going to use.
…...
After I finished my explanation, He Yi pulled on the reins of her Snow Domain Windchaser as she said doubtfully, ”Hmmm, this strategy… Will we be able to kill those four minibosses this way?”
”Don’t worry, we should be fine…” I said encouragingly. To be honest, I didn’t have supreme confidence in my own plan. ”We’ll be fine. I’ll use God Binding Art to trap one of them while the Phantom Wolf King lures another one. Eve and I will tank one miniboss each and we’ll focus them down one by one. Sister Mingyue will be in charge of healing!”
”That settles it then! Lu Chen, go lure the mobs!”
”Let’s pull this one away from the others and kill it in the courtyard. It’ll be much easier to move around there!”
”Yeah!”
The girls ran toward the courtyard, their pets trailing behind them. I took my sword and crept forward carefully. After that, I performed a simple slashing motion with my sword, causing a cyan energy blade to shoot out of it. The Dragon Slaying Slash fiercely smashed into the head of the Golden Guardsman standing furthest away from the hall. It immediately turned around, a shrill hissing sound coming from its rotten lips. Its gruesome, rotting face was framed by its splendid helmet and a long rotten tongue that was at least ten centimeters long lolled out of its mouth.
My eyes shone with a black light as I scanned this Level 170 miniboss.

Introduction: This elite warrior used to be one of the Roland Empire’s most loyal guardians, the stout pillars of the empire. Unfortunately, they could only watch as their empire fell into ruin and the plague of undeath invaded their bodies. They were transformed into slaves of the undead and the blades which they once used to protect their king and country were now turned against all of humanity. All sense of morality was stripped from their minds and they are now nothing more than brutal beasts of slaughter and destruction.
……
My entire body tensed up as I swiftly backpedaled. I had only hit one of them with my Dragon Slaying Slash, but the other three Golden Guardsmen had immediately started chasing after me as well! This was no small matter!
Whoosh!
I raised my hand in the air, causing four heavenly weapons to shoot down from the sky and slam into the ground. They surrounded the Golden Guardsman who was the furthest back, trapping him inside. This effect would last for fifteen seconds, buying us precious time.
The minibosses were coming! I immediately started using buffs like Wild Roar, Deterrence, and everything else I had. We needed every advantage we could get.
”It’s time! Prepare to pull its aggro!”
When I got within five yards of He Yi, I immediately spun on my heel and shot Thousand Ice Slash at the Golden Guardsmen who were right behind me. An explosion resounded in the air as the feet of the first two guardsmen froze to the ground. Only the last guardsman could continue moving forward. As he bounded toward me, I immediately instructed the Phantom Wolf King to attack one of the immobilized Golden Guardsmen.
”Roooooaaar!”
The little wolf let out a howl of fury as its claws danced in the air. The Golden Guardsman wailed as its sharp claws dug into its armor. This flurry of attacks successfully transferred the aggro of that guardsman over to Phantom Wolf King. My little wolf had nearly 100000 HP so it would take a good long while for this boss to hack through it. This was one of the things we were relying on to kill all four of these minibosses.
”Quickly, we need to lock on the one in front and kill him!”
I trained my eyes on the guardsman right in front of me and I swiftly flicked my Cyan Netherworld at it. Burning Blade Slash! Three burning blades of energy howled out of my sword and shot toward a small chink in its right pauldron. It was glowing bright red under the effects of my Dark Pupils. This crack was the Golden Guardsman greatest weakness, and the three energy blades crashed into it.
10923!
19020!
27834!
I immediately stomped down on the ground and activated War Crush, causing three more damage numbers to pop up above its head!
12929!
13982!
13200!
Just as I had expected, an attack that didn’t strike an enemy’s weak point did far less damage than an attack that did. However, War Crush was an AoE attack that spread through the ground, so there was no way I could target a weak point with it. It is what it is.
He Yi continued slashing at the undead guardsman with her sword, but a puzzled look had appeared on her face. She turned her beautiful eyes toward me and asked, ”Lu Chen, what’s up with your damage?”
