Chapter 65 - Frenzied Slaughter, Stellar Boots
Chapter 65: Frenzied Slaughter, Stellar Boots
“I have to be faster…”
Li Yi’s forehead was filled with sweat, and the wind and waves of energy rushing behind him were emitting a destructive aura as they rolled over.
Every time the wind-blades struck his body, the little fluorescent lights on his body would block them out.
however, these little fluorescent lights were gradually dimming, and Li Yi was still a short distance away from crossing the white light.
Li Yi forced himself to pick up the pace again. Although his body was struggling, it was still within the range of his endurance.
Finally, at the last second when the Lost Magic was about to lose its effect, Li Yi rushed out of the white light!
“Phew…”
Li Yi panted heavily as his heart pounded. He looked into the distant sky, where the holy golden light surrounded the Boss as the boss released a high-risk skill that swept up within the golden storm.
Then, he gently rubbed his slightly trembling legs.
Forcing himself to increase his speed multiple times was now coming back to bite him.
After resting for a while, Li Yi calculated the time and said, “There’s about 120 seconds until the Boss’s Divine Wrath is dispelled. That’s nearly two minutes, holy cr*p that’s long.”
As he said this, an idea came to Li Yi’s mind, and he began to estimate the distance between him and the Boss.
“This distance shouldn’t be a problem.”
After some calculations, Li Yi took out Deaths Descent from his backpack. Golden black aura surged out like bouts of waves.
Li Yi’s heart throbbed. The token that was located in the center of his heart trembled slightly and emitted a dazzling golden light.
“Horizontal Sword Slash!”
Li Yi roared in anger and waved Deaths Descent in his hand furiosly. The black-gold sword aura soared into the sky. It carried a strong killing intent as it slashed towards the God Corpse Eye Guardian in the sky!
“-1! Critical Hit!”
The sword aura pierced through the layers of storms and slashed towards the God Corpse Eye Guardian.
“This guardian is really…”
After receiving the damage value, Li Yi could not help but frown. If he could not deal any damage, he could only wait for the Boss to finish casting its skill.
However, at this moment, the God Corpse Eye Guardian in the sky was once again filled with bloodshot eyes, turned slightly and looked straight at Li Yi who was standing on the god’s corpse.
Then, it moved!
It began to move with a high-level skill — Storm!
The range of the skill began to extend outwards and closed in on Li Yi.
“It can still move?!”
Li Yi was shocked. In his previous life’s memories, Bosses with high-risk skills in the early stages could only stand in place and wat not allowed to move.
After all, high-risk skills had a wide range of coverage and high damage. If the Boss could still move and increase the range, the early stage players would not be able to survive.
Li Yi did not dare to ponder any further and began to flee.
The God Corpse Eye Guardian above did not intend on letting him go. It increased its speed and chased after him.
Sensing the dangerous aura behind him, Li Yi felt his scalp go numb. If he were to be dragged in again, his HP would not be able to hold on for more than a second.
Fortunately, although the God Corpse Eye Guardian could move and expand the range of the high-risk skills, its speed was very slow.
The speed it had now was significantly lower as compared to before.
Time slowly passed as the two parties chased each other.
A moment later, a notification popped up for Li Yi.
[System Notification: The God Corpse Eye Guardian’s Divine Blood has been depleted, Divine Wrath’s status has been dispelled, all attributes of the boss have now been reduced by 30%!]
As the system finished speaking, Li Yi stopped and turned around to look at the sky.
He saw the God Corpse Eye Guardian in the sky. The holy light that was emitting earlier had dimmed, and its entire eye seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
In the next moment, his opponent fell from the sky and landed heavily on the god’s corpse, giving off a loud boom!
“It’s finally coming down.”
Li Yi’s gaze showed slight worry. He had been chased by this Boss for so long that his legs were almost giving out.
However, Deaths Descent flickered with a cold black light, and it was enough to push Li Yi to charge towards the God Corpse Eye Guardian with no hesitation!
He wanted to kill it as quickly as possible.
Li Yi charged very quickly, and the surrounding environment in his field of vision felt like a slideshow.
Not long after, Li Yi arrived in front of the Boss. He took a quick glance, and saw that its HP was very low. His weapon was shrouded in golden black aura, and it was ready to finish off the boss.
The dragon token in the Boss’s heart was shining brightly with a golden light too. It trembled non-stop knowing that the days of survival were going to be over.
Following that, wisps of faint golden flames that were filled with a holy aura started to emerge from Li Yi’s palm. The flames then spread to his weapon, he was about to use his skill — Blazing Stab!
A golden light flashed across Li Yi’s eyes, without a moment more, he swung Deaths Descent onto the God Corpse Eye Guardian.
“-3,611!”
“-3,12! Burn Damage!”
“-1,23! Burn Damage!”
The golden flames burned the God Corpse Eye Guardian’s entire body, causing it to let out a mournful cry in its weakened state. Its originally bloodshot eyes turned scarlet red as it stared at Li Yi with pure hatred.
Li Yi did not care about this. He glanced at the God Corpse Eye Guardian’s HP Bar, which was now left with the last bit of HP.
Without any hesitation, he quickly used his Combo and Heavy Strike to finish of his opponent.
“433! Critical Hit!”
“-0! Critical Hit!”
“-0! Vital Hit!”
Right about when the monster’s HP was about to reach zero, the God Corpse Eye Guardian suddenly lit up with a blinding white light!
The system notification then rang out.
[System Notification: The God Corpse Eye Guardian is on the verge of death. Use a special skill, the Protection of the Dead, to block a fatal blow.]
[System Notification: The God Corpse Eye Guardian will be using a Boss skill — the Protection of the Stars. Base on its maximum HP, it has obtained back 50% shield protection.]
“F*ck!”
Li Yi retreated in anger.
They had already fought to the end, and yet another issue had appeared.
Not only would it release an attack once more, but it gained back 50% of its shield!
Fortunately, although the God Corpse Eye Guardian had a secret skill and an increase in 50% of its shield, it was still weak and unable to move.
Seeing this, Li Yi wanted to vent out all his anger. The golden black aura that was on Deaths Descent accumulated on his hand and exploded. He swung his sword with all his strength!
“Critical Strike!”
“-19,213! Critical Hit!”
The sword aura landed in front of the God Corpse Eye Guardian and was blocked by the dazzling white light.
Li Yi kept Deaths Descent in his backpack and it appeared in his hand again.
“Charge!”
“-18,773! Critical Hit!”
Li Yi slashed out with his sword so quickly that it left afterimages behind. In an instant, he hacked away at lowering the shield. The value appeared and in an instant, half of the shield’s HP had been reduced.
Although it had the shield value, the God Corpse Eye Guardian’s attributes had been reduced by 30% too after using Divine Blood.
“Raging Blood Roar!”
“-12,689!”
Without a pause, Li Yi launched another attack.
The blinding white light dimmed, and cracks began to spread, webbed lines began to form. Then, with a cracking sound, it broke into pieces, turning into specks of fluorescent light and disappearing into the void.
At the same time, the God Corpse Eye Guardian’s health bar finally fell to zero.
“It’s over.”
Looking at the Boss that was gradually turning into specks of light and disappearing, Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief as though a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. Immediately after, an intense sense of fatigue surged up, and his head felt as if it had been hit by a heavy blow.
He rubbed his aching temples, and the system notification sounded.
[System Notification: Congratulations on your first kill of the yellow-gold Boss — God Corpse Eye Guardian. The first kill would provide a reward of 300,000 EXP, 30 gold coins, and a piece of perfect-quality equipment.]
[System Notification: You are the first player to kill a yellow-gold Boss. An announcement will be made in the entire server. Do you wish to hide your name?]
[Talent Trigger: Obtained 980 HP, 9.8 HP Recovery/second]
Li Yi did not hesitate to choose and chose yes as the option. Immediately, his body lit up with a bright light. He had leveled up once again!
Li Yi’s level had now reached level 18!
However, it was not over yet. At the spot where the Boss disappeared, there were several pieces of equipment that were dropped.
One of the pieces of equipment was emitting a dazzling golden light and Li Yi could not help but pick that item up first.
Li Yi went forward to pick it up and looked at the attributes.
