Chapter 146: Roaming clouds flowing water
Ling Yue muttered, “I wonder if there is even time to return to the city……”
Bing Cha said, “I’ll block it, you all return to the city first!”
Quiet Rain Fall said, “Rewards come with risk, how about we fight it?”
Ling Xue asked me, “Little fool, what do you think? Do we fight or should we escape?”
Qin Yun looked at me with an expectant look, so I said, “Undead bosses have a 20% chance of ignoring defense and the boss’ highest attack damage is 1250. A single slash would deal over 2000 damage to me, so don’t you think that this is dying for nothing?”
Ling Yue said with a helpless smile, “It’s too late. We’re already in combat and can’t return to the city!”
As expected, the Dark Ghost General raised his sword and a wild wind was raised. We were already in combat, so we couldn’t avoid it!
I quickly looked around and said in a deep voice, “If we use the twelve pillars in the hall, we won’t be completely helpless against this boss!”
As soon as my voice fell, the Dark Ghost General charged forward. It slashed at Ling Xue as a purple sparkle appeared on its blade, which was clearly an additional effect to its attack!
“Peng!”
Ling Xue trembled as she was forced back several steps!
“Ding~!”
Combat notification: The Dark Ghost General has used the skill Shocking Sword. It has dealt 4784 damage to player Gentle Breeze Flying Snow and has applied a 3 second stun! Player Gentle Breeze Flying Snow has died!
……
It was a good thing that Ling Xue had a Prepared Resurrection, but the worst thing was that Ling Xue had been stunned and she could only stand there without moving!
The Dark Ghost General raised his sword again as he prepared to end Ling Xue!
I complained deep down as I quickly came forward. I took Ling Xue’s waist with one hand as my left leg kicked off. At the same time, I also used my final arm to raise the Roaring Flame Spear to block the Dark Ghost General’s attack!
“Peng!”
My body trembled and while my defense was successful, I had still lost over 1000 HP. If I had been hit directly, I would have lost over 2000 HP. As for Ling Xue being instantly killed, that was the 200% damage of the Shocking Sword.
Bing Cha went forward with her sword raised to block the boss, but with a single round, she escaped with a sliver of HP.
Although Ling Yue’s Thousand Mile Ice Seal slowed down the boss, it was clear that even after the Dark Ghost General was slowed down, it was still faster than us!
Qin Yun was shocked and quickly put a Prepared Resurrection on me before saying in a nervous voice, “What do we do? It seems like we can’t even block it!”
Ling Yue didn’t move an inch, but the Dark Ghost General with its lightning speed was already slashing its glowing sword at Ling Yue.
With a red glow, Zi Yue came out of her stealth state and used the assassin’s ambush skill. She stabbed the boss’ back, but it only lost a pitiful 201 HP!
The Dark Ghost General suddenly turned around and swept out with its blade. Zi Yue didn’t have any time to dodge as she was instantly killed!
“4230!”
It really was a pity that Zi Yue’s Prepared Resurrection had already faded and she lost a level as she returned to the city!
Ling Yue was shocked. After quickly throwing out an ice arrow, she said, “Let’s go back to the city!”
The cooperation of our team had been ruined. There had been a chance, but now there was no chance at all.
Ling Yue and Qin Yu n could only move away to escape to return to the city, with Bing Cha and Quiet Rain Fall following them. Summer was caught off guard and was sent back to the city by the boss.
After taking care of Summer with a slash, the dim glowing eyes of the Dark Ghost General turned to me and Ling Xue. Ling Xue grabbed my arm and anxiously asked, “Little fool, what do we do/ Quickly return to the city!”
I shook my head, “No! I want to try, that way I won’t be unwilling when I return! Ling Xue, you move away! If it really doesn’t work, you can pick up my dropped items!”
Ling Xue nodded and quickly ran to the corner of the hall. I took out the Star Chasing Bow and sent out an armour piercing arrow to take the boss’ aggro!
“Roar!”
The blade released a purple glow as the Shocking Sword skills was used again!
It took a deep breath and calculated the opportunity. I suddenly went behind a pillar and evaded this attack from the boss. The more surprising thing was that the boss followed the original pathing, moving around five yards before suddenly stopping for a second!
Ling Xue’s eyes opened wide as she said in a shocked voice, “Little fool, how did you do it?”
I revealed a faint smile, but I didn’t answer. Actually, I had already noted this a short while ago. The Dark Ghost General would always suddenly accelerate during the final distance of its attack, just like a small charge. It was because of this that the Xue Yue girls failed whenever they tried to escape.
I had taken advantage of this. It couldn’t change directions when charging, so with a gap that wasn’t small, I could very likely handle this boss!
“Shua!”
Sweeping out with one hand, the translucent Shadow Trap was sent out by me to a corner of the pillar. I retreated using this path, while sending an armour piercing arrow at the Dark Ghost General!
“Peng!”
The white light hit the Dark Ghost General’s neck, but it was a pity that the Dark Ghost General’s defense was complete and even the neck was protected by the armour. But my 12 star strength growth rate made up for the weak damage of the arrows, so this armour piercing arrow still dealt close to 2000 damage.
The Dark Ghost General froze for a second before charging out with its sword, giving a deep roar of rage.
I immediately went back and went to the right side of the pillar. The Dark Ghost General was pulled in along this path and as it came over, there was a deep sound as the Dark Ghost General hit the Shadow Trap. Countless shadows trapped the Dark Ghost General’s feet and greatly reduced its move speed. Moreover, the shadow trap continuously dealt damage to the Dark Ghost General, but the damage was very small.
I looked over at the twelve pillars in the hall that I could depend on!
Once the effect of the Shadow Trap disappeared, the Dark Ghost General turned into a shadow as it dashed out, bringing a powerful might with this lightning fast speed!
I was surprised before quickly shifting to the right.
“Xiu!”
The Shocking Sword passed right by my nose. At the same time, the Dark Ghost General suddenly charged past by a few steps as it fell into a half a second stunned state!
At this time, my quick change skill demonstrated itself!
“Shua!”
The Roaring Flame Spear appeared in my hand and with a single sweep, the Ice Wind Thorn and the Shield Break Slash were released!
“1282!”
“1849!”
There was a layer of frost that appeared around the Dark Ghost General. The Ice Wind Thorn’s freeze effect appeared and while it would only last eight seconds, that was already enough!
After suffering such a large hit, the Dark Ghost General fell into a rage. It immediately turned forward to slash out, but it was a pity that I had already dodged out of the way. I’ve already used both skills in that half a second, would I be foolish enough to stay there and get beaten?
It was a good thing that the Dark Ghost General was slowed by the Ice Wind Thorn, otherwise I definitely would have been chased down. But even like this, the Dark Ghost General’s move speed was greater than mine and it caught up waving its sword while roaring in rage!
My heart sped up at that moment. It had been a long time since I had been on the edge of life and death, but the stronger this feeling was, the more calm I was. My heart was as calm as water without a single ripple. The instincts of the world’s top player from five years ago were finally awakening and my reaction speed and judgement became very accurate. I was in a very strange state as if there were only three things left in this world, the Dark Ghost General, me, and the pillar……
Ling Xue was stunned as she watched in the distance. She muttered, “God! What kind of skills is Little Fool using……”
In the team chat, Ling Yue said in a surprised voice, “Xiao Xue, Bookworm? Why haven’t you returned yet?”
Ling Xue said, “Big sister! Bookworm, he……”
“What happened?”
“Bookworm is soloing the ghost general……”
“What!” Ling Yue said in a voice of disbelief, “Can he really do it? Bookworm, is he…..not joking? That Shocking Sword is enough to kill him instantly!”
Ling Xue seriously said, “It’s true, I can only believe it because I’m looking at it! Killing a boss isn’t just as simple as equipment, tactics, positioning, and skills can actually control this Dark Gold Dark Ghost General boss……”
Bing Cha revealed a knowing smile, “I knew that Bookworm wouldn’t be simple! Ling Xue, you might as well stay there and learn from him!”
Ling Xue gave a nod before looking at me and shouting, “Hey! Bookworm, you can do it!”
……
It was fine if Ling Xue didn’t say anything, but when her sweet voice rang out, waves filled my heart and the mind as calm as water was about to collapse……
“Pa!”
I reacted slow and the Dark Ghost General’s blade slashed my shoulder. My body filled with pain and when I looked at my HP, I found that I lost 2489 HP. It was a good thing that it wasn’t a Shocking Sword, or I would have definitely been instantly killed!
I turned around to send out an ice arrow to slow down the Dark Ghost General before throwing a Shadow Trap by the pillar, which was in the path that the Dark Ghost General would take!
After a low sound, the Dark Ghost General was slowed by the Shadow Trap again. I quickly swallowed some potions, but at a time like this, potions already no longer had a use. Not to mention the long CDs, it also healed quite a small amount. This just showed how important clerics were.
Suddenly going around a pillar and as soon as I heard the wind, I raised the Roaring Flame Spear out of reflex, sending out a Whirlwind Slash and a Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers at the Dark Ghost General’s back. Then I immediately left and smoothly avoided the attack, not hesitating at all.
Once I was in a safe spot, I said in the team chat, “I need to concentrate, so I’m leaving the party!”
After saying this, I left the party. Ling Xue in the distance stuck out her tongue before saying in a low voice, “Bookworm, you can do it!”
I couldn’t help laughing. Ling Xue was finally willing to call me “Bookworm”, that was a kind of approval of me!
Next it was the dance of blades again, but the good thing this time was that I was focused and my actions became even smoother. Even until the end, the Dark Ghost General couldn’t even touch my side. I used the ice arrow, the Ice Wind Thorn, and the Shadow Trap to slow the Dark Ghost General down below 75% move speed. I wasn’t idle during this time as I kept changing between the Roaring Flame Spear and the Star Chasing Bow. Dazzling skills kept being released one by one in this ancient palace, with two figures chasing one another, but never making contact for more than a second!
Ling Xue watched me on the side with a smile and no longer disrupted me.
Ling Yue and the others logged off for dinner, so there was only Ling Xue and me left. Ling Xue said that she would log off for dinner after I beat the boss, so I didn’t need to worry.
In the guild channel, a group of people were discussing Flying Fire being called home for dinner by his mother. After several days of being together, the Xue Yue Guild players had gotten to know each other. Because of different managers, they had been split into four different factions. The faction that Ling Yue and Bing Cha organized had around two thousand people, which were mainly the high level players recruited in Sunset City. They could all be considered elites. The second group were the Blue Star employees under Wang Jun Jie, as well as some people that Wang Jun Jie had won over, which was around a thousand people.
The third faction were the group that Ling Xue recruited. Some were her classmates, some were experts. Other than this, Ling Xue also had Flying Fire Link City under her who had around two thousand people. The rest were the Sword Flame group that I led and there was no doubt that Sword Flame was the strongest group in Xue Yue.
Although it had been split into four factions, other than Wang Jun Jie’s faction, the other three factions got along with each other. After all, Ling Xue and Ling Yue were always with me in game, so the factions that they managed found it even hard to see their boss.
……
“Shua!”
The Dark Ghost General’s blade passed by my nose and I felt a chill. I used the boss’ stun after its charge to escape and then turned to use the Roaring Flame Spear. I hit once before leaving and then threw down a Shadow Trap before running even further away.
Time passed by and three hours had gone by in an instant. It was already around nine in the evening.
Ling Xue had watched the fight for a bit and finally couldn’t take it anymore. She was sitting on the stairs by the throne as she opened the system interface to take some pictures
But it was at this time that the Dark Ghost General exploded. The throne seemed to be something important, so when Ling Xue approached, the Dark Ghost General stopped fighting me and wielded its blade as it charged at Ling Xue!
I was shocked as I shouted, “Ling Xue, be careful!”
Ling Xue had been holding the ancient and magnificent throne’s armrest when she suddenly turned around. Those beautiful eyes revealed a shocked look, but it was a good thing that she reacted quickly and dodged backwards!
“Peng!”
Raising the dust, the Dark Ghost General’s Shocking Sword didn’t fall onto Ling Xue, but rather cut the throne in half. There was a green coloured thing that fell from the throne and it didn’t seem to be a gemstone. My heart skipped a beat, could it be that this was the legendary pet egg?
Something that was guarded by a nearly invincible boss like the Dark Ghost General, the pet from this pet egg should be at least a Dark Gold Grade existence, right?
