hapter 283 – I’m Willing to Grow Old Alone
“Such high defense! They really do have turtle shells?!”
Li Mu held his sword and shouted, “Everybody, be cautious! This Blazing Tortoise has a skill called [Flame Burst]. It must be powerful, so pay special attention, or you might get burned to death…… ”
Matcha moved her shield while loudly commanding, “Prepare [Heavenly Shield Wall] to defend!”
“Keng keng keng……”
One after another, a row of Knights smashed their shields into the ground. The [Heavenly Shield Wall] instantly descended as the herd of Blazing Tortoises rushed toward us. Right before they reached us, they activated their [Gravity Slam] skill and their bodies curled into a spiky offensive shapes!
“Peng peng peng…… ”
Under such severe impacts, our shield wall quickly lost 7 to 8 people along the flank. Only Matcha had stats high enough to endure. With one hand holding onto her shield, and the other holding her spear, she continued to defend the front lines. The attacks of the Blazing Tortoises weren’t extremely high, so they were not much of a threat to Matcha.
“Attack!”
Li Mu waved his sword, and suddenly a [Skyshaker Slash] burst forth!
“Ding……”
His sword slid along the turtle’s shell, unexpectedly leaving only a trail of red sparks. Their defense was truly formidable; even Li Mu’s attack of almost 6000 could only deal less than 1200 points of damage. Stunned, he cried out, “Ah…what kind of perverse defense is this??”
…..
Wolf grinned and raised his daggers, [Twin Blade Harmory]!
1771!
In reality, faced with monsters that had high defense, perhaps Assassins would have higher damage output.
As the herd of Blazing Tortoises smashed against our front-line, the sinister bastards glared at us, howling, “Oh, damn! The blood of these adventurers is so sweet. I will wrench their heads off and guzzle their fresh blood!”
Yue Qing Qian flashed a wry smile, “This dialogue is really terrifying….. ”
I smiled and lifted up my Emperor Qin’s Sword, attacking with [Seven Star Fragment Slash]. With a “hong” sound, the attack landed, immediately causing numerous damage numbers to drift up. Motherf*cker, as expected, the effect of 154 stacks of [Kill For Blood] was unbeatable —
3778!
4001!
3762!
……
Wang Jian was stunned, “Is there really that big of a difference between Brother Xiao Yao’s attack and Brother Li Mu’s attack? This is too ridiculous; [Seven Star Fragment Slash] is an AOE skill, it shouldn’t do as much as the single target [Skyshaker Slash]……”
I carefully replied, “Yea, the actual difference of attack isn’t that big. It’s just that the [Kill For Blood] effect of the Emperor Qin’s Sword has reached 154%. Plus, Emperor Qin’s Sword ignores 25% of the target’s defense. 75% of Blazing Tortoise’s defense is about the same of that of a normal Knight. Thus, breaking their defense isn’t really a challenge.”
Li Mu felt relieved, “Ah, I see now. Though, looking at Gentle Touch’s attack, I do feel better…”
Nearby, Gentle Touch’s [Skyshaker Slash] fell and took out 700+ health points of a Blazing Tortoise. His face turned green, “Leader Li Mu, what do you mean? Are you making fun of me? I…… I quit……”
Li Mu roared with laughter, “Young man! Don’t be so impulsive, I was just kidding. Keep up the good work! …… All the Mages at the back, turn your damage output to the maximum! This wave of Blazing Tortoises all have armored defense. We can only rely on your magic damage to kill them. Front line, I won’t require you to kill monsters, guarding the front line is good enough!”
Numerous fireballs and icicles rained down upon the Blazing Tortoises, causing them to scream in pain as their health fell rapidly.
“Shua! ”
A Blazing Tortoise whose health had dropped below 50% immediately activated the skill [Flame Burst], and a ring of flame instantly shielded its body. Nearby Berserkers with less than 20% health were actually burned alive in one hit and dropped dead.
“F*ck! ”
Wang Jian knit his brows and asked, “This isn’t good. [Flame Burst] causes 500 points of fire damage every second. It’s extremely painful, and even drinking a health potion won’t be able to help. What should we do?”
I murmured, “Keep increasing the damage output! Just kill all the Blazing Tortoises nearby so you won’t be be burned. Everyone, do your best! Healers, don’t be stingy with your mana, put your whole effort in healing……”
……
“Roarr! ”
With a fierce roar, Flaming Tiger God rushed up to the front-line howling. It was already at the extremely high level of 65, and its attack was 3250. [Burstfire Raid] roasted a whole herd of Blazing Tortoises. After following up with a combination of other skills, the healths of the Blazing Tortoises immediately began to drop. Seeing each tortoise receive an average of 3000+ damage, I knew for sure Flaming Tiger God was not much weaker than me at all.
Only a few seconds later, Flaming Tiger God retreated with low health,
