I nod and smile, “Hm. This level 52 gold-rank boss wouldn’t be able to instantly kill me with my 1683 HP; this much is certain. But the only thing is the boss’s high cooldown skills. If it uses some explosive damage skill then there’s a chance that I might be killed, so Blue has to prepare the [Revive] skill. If I get killed, then you have to revive me within 2 seconds. If I revive within 2 seconds, then the aggro will still stay on me, or else the boss will rampage all over and everyone will get trampled by it. Remember, reviving me is very important…”
Blue nods, “Mm, Xiao Yao don’t worry, I will remember!”
“Then that’s good…” I grasp my sword and say, “Then I’ll prepare to go now. When my HP reaches 40% then heal me. I’ll do the first heal myself to lock in the boss’s aggro then after that just don’t let me die. Doing all that, we’re pretty much guaranteed that we can finish this boss off.”
Li Mu pats my shoulder, “Mm, you be careful and good luck on getting the Guild Creation Tablet drop!”
“Okay!”
……
I summon Baby Bobo, take my sword and enter the shrubbery. My sword shines, and with a whoosh I use [Fierce Ice Blade] on the Skeleton General. This although this Skeleton General is a boss, it doesn’t have too good of an AI. It waves its axe and starts to retaliate, but its body is already been stabbed by the [Fierce Ice Blade] and as frost was forming on its body, a huge damage number also pops up——
“651!”
Very good, my attack damage is good enough to break through its defense. Just as I finished the previous strike, I lean down, and punch the ground with my left fist. With a clang steel chains break through from the ground, and it latches onto the General’s ankles. At the same time a glow appears from my feet, my S-rank combo is coming——[Strength of a Thousand Men]!
A chain of damage numbers appear, and the first 3 strikes knocked the boss’s battle axe away, and my [Wind Blade] dealt over 800 damage in one strike!
“Die…”
The Skeleton General bellows, and raises its battle axe again with flames on it. Damn, it’s the second promotion skill for players, [Flame Axe]!
Clang!
I feel a wave of pain on my shoulder and my entire body feels like it got compressed for half a meter. My body sinks down, and a damage number flies up——
“474!”
That’s good, since this is a gold-rank boss, the damage is far less scary than General of the Everlasting Wind, which could easily require thousands. My 872 defense isn’t just for show; many top-class monks and knights at this stage also have around this amount of defense.
I eat another axe, and my HP reaches 50%. I immediately wave my hand and cast a level 5 [Heal]!
Whoosh!
“+750!”
The instant the [Heal] was cast, a blood-red glow rose from the Skeleton General. It enters an angered state and the battle axe focuses on me. Indeed, because of my healing, 90% of all aggro is on me.
…….
Under rays of light, the 9 healers behind me continuously recover my health. Li Mu also took his longsword and yells, “Start the ranged attacks!”
Mages start to chant their spell and at the same time, I also yell, “Mages watch your MP, don’t use it up!”
The group of people nod.
I also pay attention to my own MP. I need to make sure that I can still use [Heal], so out of all my attacking skills, I only use level 5 [Combo] and only use level 1 skills for the rest of them. My 656 total MP can only allow for 4 level 5 [Fierce Ice Blade]s, so use level 1 [Fierce Ice Blade]s. Although the slowing effect is a bit worse, that’s not a huge problem.
……
In less than 5 minutes, the Skeleton General’s HP is already 70% gone and cries and whines come from it. My HP hasn’t even gone under 30%, while I fought very safely. Even if the General uses all its skills, I can still hang on.
After 7 minutes, the boss only has less than 5% HP remaining, and we start the final battle!
……
Blue smiles lightly, “0 Aggro changes, 0 overheals, 27 missed boss attacks, waa, Xiao Yao Zi Zai is strong as the rumors say, the Gold-rank boss doesn’t even know what to do…”
General Wang Jian holds his long sword and laughs, “Of course, or how else could Xiao Yao kill the Purple-rank boss without dying?”
I look at the boss’s HP bar and don’t say anything. I only hope that when he dies he drops a Guild Creation Tablet, so we can prove that we are not the “losers”!
