"Roar!"
The boss roared and urged his horse to turn around and charge toward me. But before he could take more than a few steps, Ling Yue's Fire Dragon Spell landed!
“miss！”
Damn, the magic attack was dodged!
"Ah!
Not good... "
Ling Yue exclaimed. She raised her hand and used another Ice Vortex. After three consecutive attacks, one of them finally hit the boss and pulled its aggro.
The Earth Knight immediately turned his horse around and charged toward Ling Yue. I quickly fired a Tranquilizing Arrow.
However, the aggro was too big. Ling Yue fired two Waning Moon Arrows in a row, but she couldn't pull the aggro back quickly enough.
Swhoosh!
A red light flashed on the Boss's blade. It had activated its Charge skill.
In the blink of an eye, Delia was in front of me. He let out a roar and pressed his sword against my shoulder armor. It was a heart-wrenching pain. Blood splattered —
Ding ~!
Combat Log: You have been hit by Twelfth Knight Delia's Mark of Loyalty. You have lost 70448 HP!
… …
Damn!
Isn't he too strong?
I'm under the double protection of Dragon Armor and Iron Wall!
Without giving me any time to react, Delia pulled his longsword horizontally, and with a "Cha" sound, he slashed at my waist!
My body lightened in pain. I was one-shot just like that?!
The Resurrection Prophecy was reviving me. Ling Yue panicked and said in the party channel, "Scholar, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't control the aggro well... After you revive, use your invincibility skill. The boss is waiting to kill you a second time!"
"Ling Yue, do you have an aggro control plugin?"
"Plugin?
What plug-ins? "Ling Yue blinked her eyes in confusion.
Speechless, I immediately opened the file transfer window and sent a 1m file to Ling Yue. I pulled up the file myself and saw that it was a plugin that Eternal Moon Corporation had released. It allowed me to observe the aggro balance of Eternal Moon Corporation. I was surprised that Ling Yue hadn't installed it.
A small green bar appeared on the interface. Right now, my side was completely red. This meant that the boss's aggro was all on me.
In the blink of an eye, I revived!
With a flash of golden light, it was the Oracle Barrier!
Under the effect of the invincibility skill, Delia's confident attack missed. Damn, it felt great to one-shot it just now!
He began his counterattack. Unsheathing the Burning Soul Sword, he immediately followed up with an Ice Wind Pierce, followed by a Shield Breaker Slash and Rising Dragon Strike.
Twenty-five seconds flew by. Just as the Oracle Barrier was about to disappear, I stopped and let Ling Yue do her thing.
Ling Yue was smart. After three Ice Vortexes, the balance of aggro immediately tilted toward her. As long as we kept the balance from tilting too much, we could easily grasp the boss's movements. Of course, this was a very high requirement. We needed to understand the aggro of every skill, and this was what gave every player a headache. The information provided by Spirit of Grief didn't include the aggro of skills, so we could only rely on trial and error.
Thud!
The moment I used Thunder Arrow, the aggro immediately shifted toward me. However, I knew that it was about the aggro of two and a half Ice Vortexes.
Ling Yue was smart enough to see through the secret. She said with a smile, "Scholar, we've been using Thunder Arrow and Ice Vortex!"
"Yes!
Everyone, stay alert. We can't make any more mistakes! "
Thus, Ling Yue and I were in charge of controlling the aggro, while the rest of the people acted as hired thugs. Ling Xue dashed past as fast as lightning, and when her [Ice Seal Slash] missed, she turned around and used another [Ice Sword Qi]. After she used it, she immediately fled. I used a [Shocking Thunder Arrow] to pull the aggro back.
Bing Cha's Thunder Slash was also very powerful, electrocuting the boss until he wanted to die.
Chrysanthemum Daohana finally managed to seal the boss after being hit a dozen or so times. Under the effect of Soul Chains, boss Delia's HP dropped like crazy. In the end, Soul Shamans were still the best way to kill bosses!
Soundless Rain also used Thunder Arrow to stall the boss, but the secret of kiting was controlling the aggro. The two strings were always in my and Ling Yue's hands. No matter how fierce the boss was, it couldn't break free.
However, this required a player's reaction speed and adaptability. In less than ten minutes, Ling Yue was exhausted. Her face was a little pale as she said softly, "The boss still has half of its HP left. Everyone, do your best. We have to kill it!"
I also said with a smile, "Legendary bosses can drop high-quality Immortal-grade equipment or even unique equipment. We'll be rich as long as it drops. Everyone, do your best!"
After hearing my words, everyone immediately became spirited. Even Purple Moon, who was just slacking off, had a face full of excitement. The reason why Purple Moon was slacking off wasn't because she wasn't strong, but because Assassins weren't suited to killing super strong BOSSes. Basically, they would be insta-killed if they went up. Ling Xue, Ice Tea, and I could at least take one hit from the boss. With Purple Moon's Assassin physique, she probably wouldn't even be able to take half a hit.
"Scholar, this Avalon Miracle is guarded by 12 Earth Knights. Does this mean that we have to kill 12 of these bosses to reach the final destination?" Ling Yue asked.
"Yes, it should be."
Ling Yue looked a little expectant. She said with a smile, "That's great. A heavy-armor boss drops a heavy-armor boss. Ling Xue and Bing Cha can switch their equipment!"
"What about me..."
"Oh, I forgot about you..." Ling Yue stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "Sorry..."
But in the middle of our conversation, the kite broke. Earth Knight Delia escaped the kite's trajectory like lightning and suddenly appeared in front of Zi Yue. He raised his sword and swung it down. Zi Yue was dead. His next target was Bing Cha!
Clang!
Delia's sword landed on Bing Cha's shield and instantly emptied the Thunder Swordsman's HP. Like a whirlwind, he swung his sword again and Bing Cha also died!
Ling Xue was shocked. "Sis, Scholar, hurry up and pull the aggro back!"
As she said this, Ling Xue dashed over and used Ice Sealing Slash. The boss was temporarily immobilized. Ling Yue and I rushed over and carefully pulled the aggro back. We kited again.
Swhoosh!
Bing Cha resurrected on the spot and patted his shield. He sighed. "What a strong boss. He almost killed me in one hit. Luckily, Sister Qin Yun is diligent enough. We all have a resurrection prophecy."
Qin Yun smiled. "As long as you didn't lose a level ~"
Bing Cha blinked and asked me, "Scholar, if I equip a bow, can I kite the boss too?"
"You?
You can't... "
"Why?" Bing Cha didn't understand.
Ling Yue explained with a smile, "Because Bing Cha, you haven't completed your fifth promotion yet!"
"Then... why is that?"
"After the fifth job advancement, we will have the power of Domain. Only then will we be able to pose a huge threat to the BOSS. Do you really think that the attack power of the scholar and I are that strong?
The reason we can kite the boss is because we have already completed our fifth promotion. If it were you, the boss would have killed us already... "
Bing Cha couldn't help but click his tongue. "No wonder Xiangxiang's hit rate is so low. Even my Thunder Slash's additional effect can't appear. Ling Xue's Ice Sealing Slash can freeze the boss. So it's because the three of you have completed your fifth promotion..."
I smiled. "After we kill all the monsters on this floor, Bing Cha, you can also complete your fifth promotion. Good luck!"
Bing Cha agreed. Everyone continued to kill the boss carefully. However, the legendary boss was just too OP. Even though we could control the aggro perfectly, it would still charge out and kill one or two people from time to time. But because of Qin Yun's resurrection prophecy and my Stun Arrow's 100% stun effect, we would have been wiped.
The few pets could only serve as support. The Wind Spiritual Beast's Charm skill was almost never successful. The Attack Power of the Obsidian Dragon was also quite limited. Ling 'er's physical attacks were also often missed. Reality proved that no matter how strong a pet was, it was only the player's secondary strength in the later stages of the game. After the fifth class advancement, the players were the true main damage dealers!
Of course, it would be a different story if Ling Er's seal could be undone. A divine pet's rank couldn't be underestimated.
After about an hour, this Level 235 legendary boss finally reached the end of its life. Ling Yue rarely attacked anymore. She only pulled aggro at the right time. I was surprised. She explained with a smile that she wanted me to kill the boss personally. That way, I would get more experience. After all, I was the true trump card of Snow Moon.
Ling Yue's good intentions were good, but that was all we could do. Ling Xue and the others were in too much danger to kill the boss. Ling Yue's level wasn't that important. Right now, what she needed the most was a full set of super OP equipment. That way, she would be able to unleash the full power of her dazzling magic.
The boss was about to die. I activated the Fire Dragon Bow's additional skill — Heavenly Fire!
Roar!
Countless flames fell from the sky and landed on the knight's head. No matter how strong the Earth Knight was, he was burned black and blue. In just a moment, he lost hundreds of thousands of HP. His body went limp, and he died after letting out a scream. He dropped a small mountain of gold and some equipment.
Swhoosh!
The girls leveled up in a shower of golden light, and my experience bar rose to Level 183 at 24%. Legendary Rank bosses sure were different. The experience they gave was bountiful, and even after the nine of us had split it among us, there was still a lot of it left.
"Scholar, let's go check out the equipment," Ling Yue said.
"Oh!"
I walked forward, a bit excited. Could there really be a peerless divine item?
After collecting all the gold coins, there were five pieces of equipment: a ring embedded with a gem, a hard bow that glowed with a green light, a pair of dark green armor boots, a necklace that shone resplendently, and a dark red leather gauntlet!
Clearly, there was an Immortal item among them. The feeling of obtaining top-tier equipment was very strong!
First, I looked at the ring. The top was embedded with a transparent gem, and its design was beautiful. It looked like the expensive diamond rings sold in Golden Eagle International.

… …
"Oh, it's an Assassin's ring. Archers can use it too."
I turned around and asked, "Little Rain, Zi Yue, you two roll?"
"Yes!"
The two girls nodded and then started rolling. Zi Yue rolled 87 points, and Silent Rain rolled 2 points. Without a doubt, it went to Zi Yue. This ring was not bad. For a Demon Equipment to have this kind of stats was already very good. If Zi Yue could have a full set of equipment like this, then she would be a top-tier Assassin.
As he continued to look, he saw a longbow that glowed with a green light. It looked extraordinary.

… …
Damn, it finally dropped a Celestial Equipment!
Although it was the lowest grade Pseudo Immortal Artifact in the Immortal Artifact series, a Pseudo Immortal Artifact bow and arrow was definitely a very popular weapon at the moment. Many archers yearned to have a handy weapon. Such a longbow was really too rare!
I looked at everyone and said, "I already have a high-grade Immortal-grade Fire Dragon Bow. Since only one of us needs it, I'll give this bow to Little Rain. Does anyone have any objections?"
All the girls nodded in unison. Soundless Rain's face was full of excitement. When I stuffed the Pseudo-Celestial Equipment into her hands, she still couldn't believe it. She reached out to touch the longbow and said, "Big Brother Scholar, this … … Do I really have a Pseudo-Celestial Equipment?"
I nodded and smiled. "Of course, but you'll have to wait until you reach Level 200 before you can equip it. Good luck!"
"Okay!"
Soundless Rain's words were a boost to the team's morale. I continued to look at the next equipment. It was a pair of dark cyan armored boots. The luster made me very hopeful. Could it be the legendary "Peerless" equipment?
The Firmament Necklace was indigo. This dark cyan was actually very close … …
I reached out and clicked on it. The stats of the boots appeared in the party chat — —

Set Stats:???
(Unappraised)
… …
My vision went dark and I almost fainted!
Equipment set!
A High-grade Immortal-grade equipment set!
The Oracle equipment set was amazing, but it paled in comparison to this Fate equipment set. Its stats weren't just a little bit inferior!
However, we had three heavy armor classes here. Who should I give it to?
"Ling Xue, Bing Cha, look …"
"What are you looking at? Put it away first. Our levels are still far from enough!"
"Oh!"
I obeyed Ling Xue and tossed the Fate equipment into my bag. Then, I said, "Let's collect a full set first. We'll decide how to split it later."
"Mn!" Ling Xue and Bing Cha expressed their agreement.
I continued to look at the equipment. The necklace with resplendent light was actually a freaking Gold-grade necklace. So this was an item from a legendary boss.
Finally, there were the dark red leather wristguards. I had a feeling that they were going to drop some amazing equipment!
