Swhoosh swhoosh!
Two numbers flew up from the top of the Magic Swordsman's head: 1462, 1481.
Finally, under Ling Xue's sweeping attack, the third Magic Swordsman finally fell to the ground with a whimper. It dropped two gold coins and a shining longsword!
I immediately picked them up and shared the sword's stats in the party channel —
[Pitch Black Thorn] (Silver-grade)
Attack: 120 ~ 180
Strength: + 10
Passive: Increases user's physical attack power by 1%
Level Requirement: 40
(Unappraised)
… …
It already had 180 Attack Power before it was appraised. If it was appraised, its Attack Power would probably reach 240. Although it could not compare to the Gold-grade Lightstream Sword, it was still a Silver-grade weapon that was 10 levels higher than the Lightstream Sword. Its Attack Power would definitely not be too far off!
I asked for everyone's opinion. Ling Xue and Zi Yun 'er expressed that they had no objections. Ling Yue pursed her lips into a smile. "Isn't it perfect?
Just give it to Bing Cha. She's missing a powerful attack! "
I nodded with a smile and traded the Silver-grade longsword to her.
Bing Cha's face was filled with pleasant surprise. She couldn't bear to part with the longsword after she accepted it. High-level weapons were rare in Spirit of Grief, and Level 40 Silver-grade weapons like this could be counted on one hand. If we hadn't ventured into the fifth floor of the Ancient Ghost Temple, it would have been very difficult to obtain a weapon like this from a non-boss.
However, we couldn't equip it immediately, so Bing Cha could only use the Level 25 Bronze-grade longsword for now. She must be very happy though.
We continued to kill the mobs. Every Magic Swordsman required all of us to deal with them with absolute advantage. We even used Zi Yun 'er's curse.
However, no equipment dropped after that. The Level 48 Enchanted Swordsman was extremely stingy. That longsword was probably dropped to us due to a programming error.
It wasn't until 11 pm that we finally cleared out most of the mobs on the fifth floor. Although we didn't drop any more equipment, the experience we gained was pretty good. I went from Level 43 23% to Level 43 87%, Ling Xue rose to Level 42, Zi Yun 'er and Bing Cha both rose to Level 41, and Ling Yue remained at Level 45, the number one player in China.
After that, we stood at the center of the fifth floor. In front of me was a giant cage that imprisoned the third-to-last super boss of the Ancient Ghost Temple. We couldn't help but feel a little nervous at the sight of it.
Bing Cha stepped forward with his sword and said, "I'll lure it out!"
Ling Xue immediately stopped him, "Let me do it!
My defense is slightly higher … "
Bing Cha wanted to say something, but Ling Yue smiled and said, "Let Xue 'er do it. It'll be safer!"
Ling Xue smiled cheerfully and slashed the cage open with her Flowing Light Sword. However, the cage suddenly exploded and a dazzling sword light landed on Ling Xue's shoulder!
"Bang!"
Combat Log: Player "Windy Snow" was attacked by a Magic Commander. He lost 1247 HP!
… …
Ling Xue's HP dropped by half in an instant. Stunned, she immediately ran back to my side with her Flowing Light Sword. Luckily, Zi Yun 'er had a full set of top-tier healing equipment and a high-level healing skill. Ling Xue's HP was almost full again!
Ling Xue regained her confidence and immediately raised her sword to meet the boss. She and Bing Cha stood on the left and right, blocking the boss from the outside of our party.
I immediately used an Ice Arrow to slow them down. At the same time, I used an Armor Piercing Arrow to deal damage. Ling Yue also unleashed a barrage of Fireballs while Zi Yun 'er focused on healing Ling Xue and Ice Tea. Although Zi Yun' er was a girl, she was very skilled. In a situation like this where someone could die in the blink of an eye, a priest's precision and anticipation became even more important!
Zi Yun 'er was definitely a skilled player since she was able to join Sword Fire's party. In just a few minutes, her mechanics and awareness had won Ling Yue's praise.
Taking advantage of the gaps between attacks, I had a chance to look at the boss. It looked no different from the Magic Swordsman except that it was wearing a giant cloak. Its entire body was blood-red and it looked incomparably majestic. The boss's stats — [Magic Commander] (Gold Rank Boss)
Passive: An outstanding general under General You Hun. Will follow General You Hun even after death. Has many unique skills.
… …
Unsurprisingly, I couldn't see the Magic Commander's stats, so I guessed that it was probably Level 50. However, I could tell that it had a lot of OP skills!
At this moment, the Demonized Commander raised his sword high and roared — — — — — -
Ding ~!
System Notice: The Magic Commander used the skill "Frightening Roar". Your Attack has been reduced by 25%!
I was slightly shocked. When I looked again, my Attack had been reduced by more than 100 points. Armor Piercing Arrow could deal 800 damage, but now it could only deal 500 damage!
Ling Xue complained in the party channel, "This boss is too OP!"
Bing Cha also said, "I almost one-shot me. If it had used a critical hit, I would've been dead for sure, uuu …"
I smiled. "Don't worry, you guys have the Resurrection Prophecy, so you still have one chance to die!"
At this moment, the boss suddenly raised its sword and chanted an incantation. A red cloud suddenly appeared above our heads, followed by scorching meteors falling from the sky!
Ding ~!
Combat Log: Magic Commander is using "Meteor Rain"!
"Bang!"
My shoulder was hit, and my HP immediately dropped by almost a thousand. What terrifying damage!
I didn't care too much and immediately moved. I wrapped my arms around Ling Yue's waist and carried her as we ran for our lives. When we escaped from that area, I looked back and saw Zi Yun 'er on the other side. She had a helpless expression on her face and she was busy healing Ling Xue and Ice Tea.
Ling Yue was so scared that her face was pale. Just now, she had been hit by a Meteor Rain, and even with the protection of a Blaze Aura Shield, she had still lost almost all of her HP!
"That was terrifying!"
Ling Yue said with lingering fear. She patted my hand and giggled. "You can let go of me now. It'll be bad if Snow sees this!"
I looked back and saw that Ling Xue was focused on killing mobs. She hadn't noticed us.
The boss was still swinging its sword, and Meteor Rain continued to fall where we had been standing. The fifth floor of the Ancient Ghost Temple was a mess.
However, this also allowed us to attack to our heart's content for a period of time. No one interrupted the boss's skills, so let him continue to rain Meteor Shower on the empty ground!
But good times never last. The boss didn't want to let us rest. In the next moment, it raised its sword and glowed brightly. A red ring of light spread across the fifth floor — Ding ~!
