"No Shit!"
I raised my sword and blocked Chaos Moon's back. Two Soul Arrows hit me in a row. Very soon, I was about to drop to critical health!
Chaos Moon looked up at me and giggled as she ran. "Lu Chen, you're going to die too …"
Me: "..."
I was running low on HP, so I needed to replenish it. I raised my hand and used Tenacity of the Dead and a HP Potion.
“+6623！”
“+3500！”
My stats were boosted by 66% by Bombshell, and my HP had skyrocketed. Tenacity of the Dead, which was based on the upper limit, was able to heal me so much in one go!
However, it wasn't safe. Chaos Moon and I were still engulfed by the Soul Arrow Rain.
We ran for our lives until we finally entered the healing zone of a priest. Holy light immediately fell from the sky and healed both our HP back to full. Clutching my heavy sword, I scrambled out of the Soul Arrow Rain's range. That was a close call. Chaos Moon's HP was always around 50%. Two Soul Arrows would've one-shot her if they hit her once or twice!
… …
It was clear that God Dancer had used a super ultimate skill to carve out a map of the area. Every player within a 50-yard radius of her was instantly killed. Over thirty of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' experts had died, and the spectators who were just here to watch the show had lost even more.
It was at this moment a row of Black Cavalrymen suddenly charged the boss. These Level 135 shadow-rank NPCs let out a war cry, but they didn't realize the danger around God Dancer. The next moment, thunder rumbled in the sky, and a rain of Soul Arrows fell from the sky. Hundreds of Black Cavalrymen collapsed into pools of blood in the blink of an eye!
"Fuck …"
Li Chengfeng's eyes widened, and he said in a low voice, "This Boss is too strong. As expected of an Earth Rank Boss. It's all thanks to so many of us that we've activated Bombshell. Otherwise, if it were a one-on-one, I'm afraid no one in this world would be able to handle her …"
I nodded my head. "Yeah, an Earth Rank boss is definitely out of our range. Everyone, hold your ground and wait for the Soul Arrow Storm to end. Eve, Yiyi, Little Gui, you three are the fastest, so hurry up and grab the boss. Don't let anyone try to sneak in and steal the boss …"
"Yes, I know. Book fans also like to read:!"
Sixty seconds flew by in the blink of an eye. He Yi and Lin Yixin pulled out their swords at the same time, and the two horses galloped toward the boss at lightning speed. Gui Guzi was a tad too slow, but the rest of the party also pulled out their swords and rushed toward the boss. The boss still had around 40% HP left, so they had to kill it as quickly as possible and prepare for the final wave!
"Whoosh!"
Thunderous Charge left a trail of purple lightning in the air as I slammed into the boss. God Dancer was stunned for a short period of time, and I was actually lucky enough to land a Charge on her!
Around them, a group of people swung their swords, cutting off a large chunk of the Boss's HP.
"Keke … you lowly living beings …"
God Dancer panted heavily as a layer of blood-red light suddenly enveloped her body. She seemed to have mutated, or perhaps she had entered some kind of state. Suddenly, she raised her head and let out a loud roar. With a whoosh, the energy within her body burst forth. The scene that unfolded before everyone's eyes stunned them. God Dancer's delicate body was surrounded by fiery red cyclones, and even the jade flute in her hand was spinning with cyclones!
"Ding!"
Combat Log: Please be informed that God Dancer has entered the state of [Purgatory Transformation]. Her Attack and Defense are increased by 50%, and her attacks are imbued with a cyclone effect that greatly ignores Defense and increases damage!
… …
"Fuck …" I raised my hand and used a Magic Piercing Punch to shatter God Dancer's next Flame Blast. Naturally, the boss countered me with a counterattack. Red energy swirled around her jade flute as it smashed into my shoulder. A numbing pain immediately spread through my body!
“18794！”
Gui Guzi exclaimed in shock, "Fuck, the boss's Attack is too high! High Fighting Spirits, Li Chengfeng, you guys pay attention! Don't get one-shot!"
Before High Fighting Spirits could even nod his head, God Dancer let out a shrill shriek as she abruptly thrust her jade flute at High Fighting Spirits' chest. The rest of the book readers looked at her with a normal expression: Bang!
"Pu!"
“49862！”
Holy shit, it was a critical hit! The boss's Attack was way higher than High Fighting Spirits' Defense!
High Fighting Spirits didn't even give him a chance to heal. He was instantly killed just like that. Dissatisfaction filled his eyes as he slowly fell to his knees and turned into an ice-cold corpse.
Then, a Flame Blast swept past them and killed Du Thirteen, Xue Lu, and a group of archers and mages. They couldn't withstand God Dancer's attack at all.
"What do we do?" He Yi asked in a daze.
Lin Yixin's eyes were clouded by moonlight as she smiled. "Don't be afraid, Sister He Yi! Continue to mobilize a batch of priests, mages, and warriors from the guild! Only by killing this boss will we be able to minimize the damage we've taken!"
As she said that, Lin Yixin fearlessly charged into God Dancer's eyes. She unsheathed her dagger and stabbed it into the boss's waist. Then, she swung her Frozen Sword and unleashed Extreme Break!
I took advantage of the situation and charged forward. Murong Mingyue and Moon Dew were both healing me, so as long as the boss didn't use a critical hit, I wouldn't die.
I swung my Purgatory Slash and fired three flaming blades at the boss's chest, dispersing some of the Flame Blast and dealing a lot of damage — 12089!
“28774！”
“35780！”
… …
Very good, my attacks were even more powerful at the critical moment. I actually got two critical hits in a row!
I made up my mind and activated the God Suppressing Necklace's special skill, God's Fury. It had a 60-second critical hit, and it was one of the strongest skills we could use against bosses and PvP players. I hadn't had the chance to use it before, but the boss's HP had dropped to over 30%. If we killed her as soon as possible, we might be able to conserve some of our strength for the tenth wave. Otherwise, if the boss unleashed another Soul Arrow Rain, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls might not even have a handful of players left.
Swhoosh!
My entire armor and face were covered in a layer of blood-red. The image of a blood-colored war god suddenly descended from the sky. With the power of the war god's image, my body exploded with power. I knew that every attack I was about to unleash would definitely be a critical hit...
Chaos Moon, Moonlight Stone, Pure Love, and everyone else stared at me in shock. "Fuck, what kind of skill is that?
Lu Chen, you're so cool … "
I stepped forward and used War Crush. Then, I followed it up with a Pardon + basic attack!
“18794！”
“18772！”
“18908！”
“32472！”
… …
Four attacks in a row shaved a small chunk of the boss's HP, but I didn't stop there. I shouted, "Yiyi, pull the boss for me …"
"Got it!"
I hurriedly retreated while Lin Yixin skillfully maneuvered her Ice Scythe to block the boss's path. She swung her sword at the same time and successfully pulled the boss's aggro back to her.
I retreated about 10 yards away from the boss and consumed a Magic Consumable to restore my HP to full. The boss was still affected by Lin Yixin's Extreme Break. Now was the time!
I activated the skill — Purple Dragon Howl!
Roar!
A giant dragon's roar shook the earth. Purple energy surged out of my body and formed the image of a giant dragon above my head. It then circled around the Heaven-stealing Sword and channeled time!
"Go!"
I abruptly swung my longsword through the air, and Purple Dragon Howl transformed into a bolt of purple lightning that shot toward the boss. In the next instant, a dragon's roar reverberated through the air as the energy of the purple dragon surrounded the boss and wreaked havoc. A string of frightening damage numbers appeared above God Dancer's head, and God Dancer's bloodcurdling screams reverberated through the earth.
“71228！”
“72384！”
… …
Moon Gaze + Extreme Break + God's Fury + Purple Dragon Howl + Bombshell. God's Fury + Purple Dragon Howl was more than enough to declare the boss's death sentence. Purple Dragon Howl was a chain attack skill, and this time, it dealt 15 damage to a single target. God Dancer was truly unlucky. If it was a player at Candlelight Shadow's level, he definitely wouldn't have given me the chance to fully heal myself and unleash a powerful skill. Perhaps this was the fate of bosses!
The boss's HP dropped to 15% in the blink of an eye. The players of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls immediately cheered and laughed. "Our vice leader is too strong! The boss is almost at critical health! Let's do this quickly …"
However, Lin Yixin smiled helplessly and said in a barely audible voice, "This big idiot … can't he wait until the boss has 10% HP before using such a powerful skill? He really doesn't care about the experience of an Earth Rank boss at all …"
I heard her and grinned. "What's mine will always be mine. It's my luck to get it, but it's my fate to lose it!"
"Hmph hmph, it's pretty mediocre. Let's kill it already …"
"Mn. Everyone else, watch as normal:!"
… …
After a series of attacks, the boss finally lost its temper. Right now, all the players standing in front of the boss were powerful existences that couldn't be one-shot. Lin Yixin, He Yi, Gui Guzi, and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun were all mounted players, and I was a foot soldier, so there was no way the boss could one-shot me. After all, I had 16000 base HP at Level 123, and it was absolutely unimaginable to any fighter at the current stage of the game. The God Suppressing Helmet increased max HP by 2400, and the Battle Soul Leggings and Ring of Windchasing increased max HP by 1500 each. That was a total of 5400 HP!
Mn, Li Chengfeng, Chaos Moon and the others in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls also had more than 14000 base HP. They just weren't as much as I was.
At the back, Murong Mingyue had transferred another 100 priests to help us heal as much as they could. This time, it was up to us to wear down this Earth Rank boss until it died. If not for Lin Yixin's Bombshell, we wouldn't have been able to kill the boss without enough HP.
"Bang!"
“38904！”
Gui Guzi hit the jackpot with a Flame Blast and dealt almost 40k damage. He was stunned, and so was everyone else. Fortunately, the healing number "+ 19452" appeared above his head. It wasn't a number that any priest at the current stage of the game could do, but it was Gui Guzi's Undying Shield. It absorbed 50% of the damage taken and converted it into HP. It was absolutely amazing at a time like this!
On the battlefield, God Dancer looked like a god of slaughter from hell. She was able to claim the lives of a couple of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls players almost every time she unleashed a super long range Flame Blast. However, her lack of supplies meant that she was destined to die in this battle of attrition.
Gui Guzi pursed his lips. "Heh, I wonder if the boss will drop Earth-grade items …"
