In the blink of an eye, a large chunk of health from a whole section of Hun Tribe Horsemen disappeared. Digging through the system tools, the system damage output application showed that Dong Cheng’s recent damage output completely dominated the entirety of our previous damage output.
Wan Er’s attractive lips gaped. Stupefied, she said, “Dong Cheng, what level is [Thunderbolt Finger] currently at for it to be so powerful?”
Dong Cheng Yue examined her fingers, saying, “It’s only at Lv 2…. Even though it’s really strong, it’s a shame that it can only be used once every 10 seconds or else it would truly be tyrannical!”
I commented, “Continue using [Rock Spike] and [Pillar of Fire and Ice] to mow them down! Watch your mana usage, and don’t ever let it become empty. Fox, stop acting aimlessly. You attack too!”
“Gotcha!”
Laughing, Fox crouched down and took out his gun. In a moment, it transformed into a cannon. This was the musketeer class’s second promotion skill, [Bombardment]!
“Peng!”
Accompanying the sound of gunfire, an AOE skill covering an area of 7×7 blasted forth and expelled an intense gunpowder smell. The skill brought about 400 points worth of damage to each monster, which was not bad.
Matcha summoned her Illusionary Butterfly Queen as well and commanded it to attack. It’s wings immediately started flapping and a dense flame started to blaze. [Abyssal Flames] abruptly erupted within the crowd of monsters and dealt damage similar to that of Fox’s attack. All the additional attacks helped Dong Cheng Yue a lot.
In this manner, our efficiency in killing monsters escalated quite a bit. Layer after layer of Hun Tribe Horsemen collapsed and died and a sense of pride bubbled up in us involuntarily. I began imagining myself as Emperor Wu’s subordinate horseman, capable of fighting on even terms with Hun Tribe Horsemen and emerging victorious after each clash.
(TL: Emperor Wu was the seventh emperor of the Han dynasty and fought against the Huns who were encroaching upon China’s western border.)
