Smoke flew out from Fox’s gun barrel as he attacked the boss from afar. He whimpered, “Damn, I’ve never seen such a strong boss in my whole life of gaming. If I wasn’t in a party with super strong players like you guys, I would have run away already…”
Who’s Blue laughed lightly, “Uncle Fox has such a bright future…”
Fox: “…”
……
Matcha’s clear eyes watched the boss attentively as she breathed softly, “Boss be careful, [Dragon Claw Triple Slash] has a cooldown of 12 seconds, so it can be activated anytime. The BOSS’ second skill hasn’t been used yet and I’m not sure what [Icicle Domain] will be like, but anyhow, you have to be really careful…”
I brandished my sword as I endured the BOSS’ claws. I laughed weakly, “Yeah, I’ll try too!”
Just as I finished speaking, Hans let out a thundering roar. Its ruthless pair of eyes glared at me as its claws let out three glints of a blade. It was coming again: [Dragon Claw Triple Slash]!
I unconsciously retreated back quickly, evading its first attack. But I still had to receive the full brunt of its second and third attacks. The three lady healers hurriedly healed me, but the BOSS’ attack had not ended yet. Hans raised its head and howled with an unrivalled ruthlessness as an icy energy bubbled out from the grounds!
“It’s coming!”
“Pa” an icicle burst forth at my feet, immediately causing me to lose 1400 health. Then, immediately, a second icicle followed, also causing 1300+ damage. Numerous icicles suddenly appeared all around, this is [Icicle Domain]?!
1537!
1432!
1522!
1479!
……
A chain of damage numbers flew out, causing me to fall to the ground and die in an instant! The three lady healers didn’t expect the possibility of the boss being able to unleash 7 continuous magic attacks in 1.5 seconds and therefore didn’t even get a chance to heal me. This was the power of [Icicle Domain]; even a veteran game player would die from this kind of attack. There was no doubt!
“Quickly revive Boss!” Matcha screamed.
Promised Love waved her arms and activated [Revive]. I confirmed it straight away and stood back up on the place I had died. Gulping down a health potion, I charged toward the BOSS, my sword tip pointed toward its lambella. After a [Fierce Ice Blade], I immediately retreated back, raised my arms and called forth another skill – [Great Realm of Desolation]!
Steadily keeping the BOSS’ aggro on me, I looked at my level. Lv 60 with 91% experience. Motherf**ker, I lost another level. But fortunately I wasn’t that far from Lv 61, so I could probably gain it back after killing this BOSS. Otherwise, with the Lv 61 requirement of the Divine Fireguard Helm, once I took it off for repair, I wouldn’t be able to put it back on.
“Matcha….” Promised Love frowned with her brows and said, “[Dragon Claw Triple Slash] can make Xiao Yao’s health bar almost empty, so we have to heal him. If the BOSS immediately unleashes [Icicle Domain] in the next attack, with the cooldown of our Heals, we won’t be able to pull his health back up. How can we break this sure-kill attack?”
Matcha bit her lips and said, “We still have a chance. Darling Duck should heal through [Dragon Claw Triple Slash], Who’s Blue heal between [Dragon Claw Triple Slash] and [Icicle Domain] while Big Sis Promised Love you heal through [Icicle Domain]. With that, Boss should have a chance to survive! Other than that, [Icicle Domain] has about 1.5 seconds of casting time, so Wan Er and Yue Qing Qian, you both should try your bestS and intercept the BOSS’ skills. If the spell can’t be broken, I will use my shield to protect Boss.”
Lin Wan Er’s [Twin Blade Harmony] suddenly hacked away 2000+ points from the BOSS’ health. She quickly retreated back, her pair of beautiful eyes looked toward me as she said quietly, “Let’s try it one more time. If Li Xiao Yao dies twice, we should give this quest up. I don’t want Li Xiao Yao to drop to Lv 50 trying to complete this profession quest…”
I was slightly moved, “Wan Er loves me after all…”
Lin Wan Er’s oval face turned red, “Do I? I just felt sorry for you…”
Dong Cheng Yue cast [Lightning Finger] as she giggled, “Do your best, have a good fight!”
……
Not even a minute later, Hans’ deadly combo came once again!
[Dragon Claw Triple Slash]!
I was forced back around 10 meters and my health bar became almost empty. Who’s Blue and Darling Duck healed me while Promised Love’s heart almost jumped out of her throat, “Be careful, Xiao Yao…”
“Roar…”
Hans raised its head; it was the start of [Icicle Domain]!
The two lady assassins immediately used their abilities to intercept skills and the BOSS was gracious enough to cooperate with us and replied with four big MISSes. It was almost like fate was helping us!
“Be careful!” Lin Wan Er looked at me full of worry.
From the back, Matcha lifted her shield and charged towards me. She reached out her hands and pulled me to her embrace, her shield struck the ground with a “Keng”. She activated [Phantom Shield], and three golden shields appeared and surrounded us. This Phantom Knight profession could only protect one other person at most. This time Matcha’s worth was fully showcased!
The icicles danced around my feet as both of us became just like a small boat swaying hard in the middle a big ocean. Our health dropped quickly but fortunately there was [Phantom Shield]’s protection. Promised Love quickly targeted the both of us and activated a group heal, trying hard to pull our health back up!
1.5 seconds afterwards, Matcha and I stood there with half of our total health left. We looked at each other with bewildered expressions, not expecting that we had actually survived the continuous attacks of [Icicle Domain].
