Chapter 95: Snatching Monsters and Seizing Treasures
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Shen Yurou gestured for Zi Liyuan to look at the location where the Boss’s spider legs had been broken off.
Lao Tie had broken them off cleanly, but now two slender chitinous layers appeared at the break points, slowly growing back out.
Once a leg was broken, a new one sprouted directly, and the speed was not slow; this showed that the Boss had incredibly strong regenerative capabilities.
As such, Zi Liyuan looked at the Boss’s health. Initially, it had a total health of 1000W, but now only HOW had been reduced. It meant that since the fight began, they had only depleted one-tenth of its health.
The Iron Fist of the Hell Puppet could deal basic damage of 4000+ per normal attack, with a burst damage reaching around 12K, and with Shen Yurou’s continuous sniping, their combined efforts could reach a burst damage of about
15K.
Helping Zi Liyuan to nearly end the battle had taken at least a dozen minutes, yet under a damage output of 15K per second, the Boss had only lost HOW of health. One could imagine just how absurd the Spider Monster’s battle recovery ability was!
“I remember poison effects can reduce recovery speed. Have you tried that?”
The Necromancer possessed poison-based spells, but since they could not be enhanced with Nether Crystal Cores, Zi Liyuan had not focused on upgrading them, so they were all at LV1.
“I tried using bullets soaked in poison to inflict the Boss with poison, but the effect was very poor. Normally the poison effect lasts for 15 seconds, but on the Boss, it faded in 3 seconds.”
Dominating a powerful Boss was never easy.
When you can’t overpower them with strength, all you’re left with is to locate the Boss’s weaknesses and target them slowly, grinding them down.
“This Spider Monster thing, at first glance, is related to spiders. Most spiders deal poison damage, but this thing doesn’t seem to fear poison damage, so it must inherently have poison damage.”
Lao Tie was a puppet, not a creature of flesh and blood, so like the Undead creatures, he was immune to poison.
“Stop focusing on that thing for now, come and help me take care of the remaining five First Order Lords.”
Watching Lao Tie cozying up with the Spider Monster, presenting a harmonious picture of familial love, Zi Liyuan decisively asked Shen Yurou to help quickly clear the remaining five mini-Bosses.
With Shen Yurou joining in, the speed at which the Boss’s health was being depleted nearly doubled.
For the Boss being continuously rammed and surrounded by an army of Skeleton Knights, its demise was merely a matter of time.
By the time they had cleared the five Lords, Lao Tie had only managed to eliminate 200W of the Spider Monster’s health.
Damage amplification, weakening, attack rebound… curse after curse was placed on the Spider Monster, reducing its strength and increasing the damage it suffered.
Meanwhile, skills like Taunt and Envenomed Dagger were used on the Hell Puppet, making his aggro more stable and allowing him to deal poison damage, stacking bit by bit on the Boss, lowering its regenerative capabilities.
However, the Level 1 Envenomed Dagger skill had very low poison damage, which on the Boss only lasted for a brief two seconds. The good thing was that as long as the poison could stack on the Boss, it could weaken its recovery ability, a small consolation.
While keeping various negative buffs on the Boss continuously, Zi Liyuan began his damage output.
Shadow Arrow, Death Shadow Arrow, Bone Spear… He cast each skill in sync with their cooldowns, accelerating the depletion of the Boss’s health.
At the same time, Zi Liyuan had a Skeleton drag a Boss corpse with 500W total health over, and the moment it neared the Spider Monster, he ignited it with the Corpse Explosion Technique.
The brutal aura of death washed over a ten-meter radius, engulfing both the
Boss and Lao Tie.
“-280680” damage floated above Lao Tie’s head, which wiped out nearly half of his health, while the Boss was unaffected.
“Just as expected…”
Zi Liyuan’s eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, yet it was within his expectations.
After testing the Corpse Explosion Technique and seeing it had no effect on the Spider Monster, Zi Liyuan began to use his skills sincerely to deal damage, while simultaneously summoning a large group of Shield Combat Skeletons to surround and block off the boss.
Not being able to ascertain the boss’s condition, naturally, he couldn’t let it escape. At the critical moment, he could use the taunting skill of the Shield Combat Skeletons to forcefully stop the boss.
As for the Hellish Demon Marionette, which had lost half its health, it was as if nothing had happened, still faithfully holding the boss and outputting damage like crazy, and relying on its self-healing ability, it sucked its health back little by little from the boss.
“I’m out of strategies, let’s grind it down slowly.”
Resigned, Zi Liyuan and Shen Yurou began to deal damage earnestly and aimed as much as possible for the boss’s weak spots.
Fortunately, Lao Tie was holding the boss, and there was no need to worry about aggro issues, making their output environment extremely comfortable.
After tens of minutes… half an hour… when the boss’s health was nearing depletion, just as Zi Liyuan was preparing for the final harvest, another sudden change occurred on the field.
Twelve arrows, like fiery meteors, shot out and pierced the boss’s navel, hitting the blood-colored jewel precisely.
“-10087” “-10310” “-10630″… “-12740″… “-120000”
Twelve consecutive hits dealing over ten thousand damage exploded above the boss’s head, and in the next instant, a further 120,000 damage was unleashed, eliminating the Spider Monster’s 240,000-plus health in a flash and clearing out the boss’s remaining sliver of health.
The next moment, a huge flame surged into the sky, engulfing the boss, and a massive explosion sounded, blowing the nearly two-story-tall boss to bits and pieces!
“WCNMLGB!”
The abrupt turn of events made Zi Liyuan’s face twist with rage as he cursed out loud, his Spirit intensely locked onto an archer three hundred meters away!
The Death Shadow Arrow, which was prepared just in time, was shot mercilessly at him!
At that moment, his heart bled!
The final hit on the boss had been snatched by someone else!
Especially seeing that the boss had only dropped about a dozen light orbs, he felt an urge to kill so intense that he wished to tear the monster snatcher to shreds and grind their bones to dust!
An energy shield, semi-transparent, suddenly appeared in front of the archer, creating a wave of energy that wiped out the dark power in the Death Shadow Arrow.
The next moment, the archer left a trail of afterimages, retreating backward at high speed, disappearing out of Zi Liyuan’s Spirit’s perceptual range within a few breaths.
Meanwhile, nine black afterimages abruptly appeared on the field, unhesitatingly reaching for the light orbs scattered on the ground.
“You all deserve to die!”
Snatching the boss and looting the treasure, daring to do so right under his nose, was simply courting death!
Enraged Zi Liyuan, without a word, unleashed a Shadow Arrow Rain towards the boss’s corpse, and a massive wave of Bone Spears followed, shooting out immediately after.
Even faster than Zi Liyuan was Shen Yurou. With the assistance of her exoskeleton sniper armor, her sniper rifle instantly targeted the head of a shadow figure. A bullet shot from the barrel at lightning speed, and by the time the gunshot sounded, it had already penetrated the figure’s head.
The head burst into fragments, with red and white splattering everywhere.
A headshot, with fatal damage to its own kind, resulted in an instant kill effect.
