Chapter 37: Barbarian Warrior, Lead the Way
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The party followed the path to the second floor. There were no monsters here, all they could see was a huge cage placed in the middle. The boss was inside.
[Boss: Level 10 Barbarian Warrior]
[Rarity: Black-iron (Nightmare bonus)]
[HP: 40,000]
[Physical Attack: ???]
[Physical Defense: ???]
[Magic Defense: ???]
[Nightmare Skill: ???]
[Black-iron Skill: ???]
...
There was no other information when he looked at the boss’s attributes. With that, Li Yi did not hesitate at all, he locked on to the boss, and struck out with a Critical Hit.
“-7,404!”
“Boom!”
The cage shattered into pieces. A huge black shadow roared as it broke free from the shackles. Its roar was so ferocious, it was as if a Demon God had descended into the world!
Suddenly, the boss charged right at them. It was an orc that wielded a huge axe that looked more than five meters tall. Its entire body was covered in scars, and it had a ferocious expression on its face. A snarl quickly appeared thereafter and fangs were shown that were similar to a wild boar’s.
“Everyone, pay attention to the boss’s movements. Try not to get hacked to death!”
Li Yi directly stepped forward and used Raging Blood Roar to directly hit the boss.
“-4,177.”
Li Yi’s magic weapon started to tremble. A huge pitch-black shadow slash landed on the boss, it was then followed by a series of attacks which consisted of Combo and Heavy Strike.
“-900! Critical Hit!”
“-760! Critical Hit!”
“-483.”
“-775.”
A few high damage numbers appeared above the boss. This undoubtedly attracted all the aggro of the boss. The Barbarian Warrior roared like a beast and rushed over, its axe swung erratically from the movements.
“-401.”
Li Yi did not dodge. Instead, he commanded everyone to immediately attack with all their might. For a warrior-typed boss of this level, other than having a little more HP than usual, only its single-target damage was relatively high, every other attack was mediocre.
All the Magic Apprentices immediately attacked from behind, causing the HP of the boss to rapidly drop. Fortunately, the magic defense of this boss was not very high, so it was relatively safe to say that the damage done by the Magic Apprentices was impactful.
However, the boss had quite a high intelligence level, so it abandoned the people in front and headed towards the Magic Apprentices in the distance.
Li Yi had already expected this, so he went around the boss and stopped the boss from moving forward. He commanded everyone to fight and retreat at the same time. At the same time, he reminded them to pay attention to the sound of thunder condensing in the sky.
“Tsk tsk! This is what a qualified commander should be like, taking on the responsibility of fighting monsters. I must record a video of this and show it to the Main Tanks of our guild so that they can analyze the movements and fill in the gaps!!”
“That’s right! We only need to fight and retreat one after the other! This way, we won’t have to worry if the boss will rush out and kill us! This is so comfortable!!”
“Let those Main Tanks take a good look and learn from us! They don’t need high damage! At the very least, they can learn from someone else’s first-rate tanking and blocking skills!”
...
Suddenly, the sword Li Yi held on to brighten as he blocked the path of the boss. He had the aura of a one-man army. The boss was so angry that he stomped his feet. However, there was nothing he could do about it.
Not long after, the Barbarian Warrior’s energy ran out!
“Kacha!”
The magic weapon went straight into the boss’s chest, and blood splattered everywhere. With a final roar, the boss finally fell. With a flash of light, gold coins fell onto the ground, along with two pieces of equipment.
They were all fine-grade equipment, it was a battle axe and a beast skin jacket. Clutch King had taken the beast skin jacket, and the battle axe had been given to the members of the Scorching Sun Guild.
…
After handing out the equipment, the party carried on to the third floor. When they went up to take a look, they saw that there were not many monsters here either. However, the monsters they saw here looked like they were not to be trifled with.
It was a type of undead monster. It had a stooped body and disheveled hair, even its face could not be seen clearly. In its hand, was a small knife that was covered in blood.
[Level 9 Dark Assassin (Nightmare)]
[HP: 5,000]
[Physical attack: 550]
[Defense: 80]
[Skills: Backstab, Stealth, Poison Infusion]
When Li Yi saw them, these Dark Assassins had all slowly begun to dissipate into the surroundings. It seemed that they had already begun their attack.
“Let’s go!” Li Yi immediately said. “All high-defense warriors, protect your Magic Apprentices in the middle and be careful of any attacks that come your way. If one of them gets hit, they will definitely die!”
Everyone immediately took action, but they were still a step too late. A Dark Assassin who had gone into stealth mode a while ago before they entered. The Dark Assassin had already been within attacking range and had attacked a player.
“-801! Critical Hit”
Backstab was a 100% critical hit. The mage was insta-killed.
“Critical Hit!”
Li Yi’s reaction was as quick as lightning. He swung his magic weapon fiercely, and a stream of black shadow was thrown out. This instantly killed the Dark Assassin that had just attacked the mage on the spot.
When dealing with monsters like these, there would be an advantage for groups who came in larger numbers.
“The people on the outside have already defended well. This thing’s stealth is tricky to deal with. Magic Apprentices should directly launch indiscriminate attacks, this is to force these things out from the shadows!”
“Roger!”
Following the orders from Li Yi, the Magic Apprentices immediately launched a full-on assault on these monsters. One of the members even immediately casted a group-kill Lightning Spell.
At this moment, Li Yi also dashed forward. His Combo and Heavy Strike forced the Dark Assassins to have no choice but to retreat further away from them. Li Yi quickly killed these creatures as they had low defenses.
After killing one, Li Yi felt numbness behind his back. It was as if these Dark Assassins had poisoned him. He knew that this numbness would soon paralyze his body for one second. Moreover, it would also cause a large amount of additional damage. It was one of the essential skills for a Fast-attack Warrior.
However, players right now currently do not have advanced detection skills. Hence, they would not be able to discover the stealth attacks carried out by the Dark Assassins. These Dark Assassins were specifically designed for assassinations. Even when they walked, they would not make a single sound.
...
These Dark Assassins had a very low defense, which made it more troublesome for them to hide. However, they could endure the large-scale area of effect attacks. They had also tanked Li Yi’s Raging Blood Roor and Horizontal Sword Slash attack. Both of which were two large-scale areas of effect attack skills.
Not long after, the Dark Assassin slowly fell one by one.
Nightmare-level mode dungeons were all about time; they had to be cleared within an hour, and they had to be done as quickly as possible. In the lower leveled dungeon, there would not be as many monsters.
However, at this moment, a skill book was directly dropped.
[Item: Poison (skill book)]
[Usage requirement: Fast-attack Warrior]
[Effect: Players would be able to poison weapons. Poison can be freely matched, poison damage is free, 100% physical damage will be dealt to enemies, paralyzing them for one second. This attack costs 10 MP, Cooldown time is 10 seconds. The highest level would be level 8!]
“Here! You’ll need it more than I do!”
Li Yi directly threw it over to Clutch King and he happily accepted it. He had been hoping to stumble across an item like this early in the game, but who would have thought that it would actually drop this early? This was a bit of a pleasant surprise for him!!
After clearing the battlefield, everyone headed straight for the fourth floor.
