The surroundings started to dim as a huge cyclone formed. The galing winds that were like sharpened knives started raging upon us. A bone-grinding pain could be felt as I took 3 separate hits. It was extremely scary—
1717!
1637!
1736!
I nimbly drank a Healing Potion; I was severely injured but I didn’t die. Wan Er fell back and opened her umbrella. “Pa pa pa” Within the three successive hits, I managed to slip in a [Heal] and so she barely managed to survive. An Assassin with a body full of high tiered armor and nearly 2500 health points, Wan Er’s stats were one of a kind.
On the other hand, Matcha rushed forwards with her shield as well and pulled Yue Qing Qian into her embrace. Hugging one another, they kneeled on the ground. She readied her shield as she closed her eyes and started to chant her skill, [Phantom Holy Shield]! Three golden shields orbited around her, giving protection to Yue Qing Qian who was within the range of protection. Fortunately with this, they didn’t get blown away by the [Galing Cyclones]. After the skill dissipated, she raised her head and looked at Yue Qing Qian. Unable to hold a chuckle, “Luckily I made it…”
Yue Qing Qian was scared purple, “Big Sis Matcha… Thank god you were there!”
……
“Hong!”
The gigantic dragon raised its head once again. It’s another [Blade Storm]! This boss’ tempo was just too terrifying!
In the distance, those who weren’t doing close-combat all dodged to the side. Their timing was adequate. Yuzi Chengshuo expected an attack as such and swiftly rushed a bit closer to heal me—
+1574!
This healing is just too powerful. With another heal my health returned to above 2000 points. I could take the [Blade Storm] head on!
“Bang!”
The wind-imbued axe went through my body and hit onto the rocks behind me. But ignoring it, I continued attacking!
The whole boss-killing pace had slowly stabilized; the last few [Galing Cyclones]s were all intercepted. The battle proceeded smoothly. In a short 12 minutes, the boss’ health was obviously critically low!
……
“Let’s try to guess. What kind of treasures will he drop?” Said Yue Qing Qian as she stabbed the boss behind his neck with her dagger and leaped backwards.
“A Purple Tier item will certainly drop.” I thought for a second, then said, “In this SSS rank map, the drop rate from bosses will probably increase.”
Wan Er replied. “Yeah. I hope it drops an S rank skillbook or something. S rank skillbooks are worth so much more than equipments. In a way, that’s logical since skills will stay forever with a player but equipments will just come and go. Any equipment that is lower than Lv 100 will be replaced with something stronger sooner or later.”
“Yup. Oh, it’s at the last 4% HP. Pay attention.”
……
Slashing my sword horizontally, I cut deep into the boss’ neck. The Shadow of the Wind Dragon was merely a clone of the real thing, if it were the true Wind Dragon, one of the Four Saint Dragons, I think we would have been finished off in the first round!
This time, we didn’t decide on who’s the one to kill the boss, so all of us did as much damage as we could to kill it quickly!
Finally, after letting out a miserable howl, the Shadow of the Wind Dragon’s suddenly
exploded into millions of pieces. Countless pieces of glittering dust fell toward the ground as a pile of loot dropped!
……
“Shua!”
Fox and Who’s Blue both leveled up. I then held my sword tightly and walked towards the loot. Looking at the equipments dropped, I said “I’m the leader, so I’ll go through the loot. Are you okay with that?”
Matcha and Wan Er lightly nodded. “It’s all yours to decide. Hurry up…”
Bending over, I grabbed the loot. There was a total of 3 equipments. It really is impossible to drop anything above Purple Tier—
【Hurricane Staff】: Lv 58 Purple Tier Staff. Magic attack 740-875, Magic attack +8%, Endurance+38, Magic +39
【Chain of Mercy】: Lv 58 Purple Tier Necklace, Endurance +40, Magic +37, Healing Effect +128
【Inferno Dagger】: Lv 58 Gold Tier Dagger, Attack power 540-750, Endurance+35, Agility +34
……
As usual, we rolled to decide who gets which item. The results were that the [Hurricane Staff] was taken by Dong Cheng Yue without question, as she was the only person who needed a staff that added magic attack. The [Chain of Mercy] necklace was rolled by Yuzi Chengshuo. Who’s Blue’s level was a bit short of the requirement, so giving it to her was obvious. As for the Lv 58 Gold Tier Dagger, everyone decided to give it to the one who was most beaten up by the boss. So, I put it into my inventory. After returning back to the city, I’ll be able to sell it for a few hundred RMB. No matter how small it was, there was value in it.
What was a little disappointing is that the boss didn’t drop any skillbooks. Not even Soul Stones! It only dropped a few Pardon Cards. We couldn’t help but sigh.
……
A few minutes later, standing at the border of the layer, I looked into the distance. A metal chain transversed across the starry cosmos, connecting to the second layer. This time we would have to slide for a very long time to reach the next level.
Inhaling deeply, I said with a smile, “Let’s go. Onwards to the second floor! I want to level up!”
Everyone else nodded at the same time. “Yup!”
