Chapter 116: Battle Puppet
“Pori! You traitor, how dare you bring a human and goblins here?” a goblin said angrily.
“My lord, times have changed!” The goblin named Pori, who was the captured guide for Starry, had a gloomy expression. “This Misty Rock has been ruled by you old geezers for too long; it’s time for a new revolution!”
Starry stood behind, dumbfounded, wondering how he could say it as if he had brought a group of reinforcements.
“Hahaha, Pori, have you been oppressed for too long that your mind is broken? With these guys, what kind of revolution can they bring?”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the goblins laughed at him, and the cave was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Pori’s face turned red, veins bulging on his forehead. “Just you wait and see!”
Kainel tapped the back of his dagger against Pori’s neck, “Little bro, are you getting too carried away?”
Pori trembled in fear. “I brought you here! You can’t kill me!”
“Alright, stop scaring him,” Starry frowned.
“Yes, hero!”
“I ask you, what traps are ahead?” The reason those goblins were not moving must be because they had something to rely on.
There might be some deep pits or mechanisms like crossbows.
“N-no more.”
“Speak!” Kainel shouted, grabbing his dagger menacingly.
“There’s… there’s a terrifying battle puppet locked inside. If you dare to go there, they will release that crazy guy!”
A battle puppet…
These goblins themselves were not very strong; who knew what level the puppet they made could reach?
The road ahead had also been widened significantly, likely due to the battle puppet.
“Alu, can your Ice Flow Shield empower me?” This Ice Flow Shield had previously repelled the Wishcaster’s vine entanglement; it seemed capable of resisting control effects and flying attacks.
“Of course,” Alu nodded, dark blue magical energy swirling in his hand, a stream of water spiraling around Starry.
System Notification: Snow Feather Goblin Clan Leader Alu has applied the ‘Ice Flow Shield’ status to you.
Ice Flow Shield: Immune to external control effects, while reducing damage taken by 80%, effective up to 3 times, lasting 10 seconds.
What a divine skill!
Not only does it provide immunity to control but also reduces damage by 80%. Even if 20% of the damage was a critical hit, it wouldn’t hurt at all.
Although it has a limit on usage, as long as the timing is controlled well, blocking the damage from a single hit would yield maximum benefits.
No, once this is all settled, I must learn this skill from Alu!
“Keep an eye on this guy and provide me with ranged support, Star Cat!” With the protective shield, Zane was filled with confidence.
Alu naturally understood that this was not the time to show off. “Alright! You two hold this cunning goblin tight!”
Two goblins received the order and firmly restrained Pori.
“If you want to die, let’s see how you try!” One goblin said darkly from the front.
Then it pushed down a lever-like object, and the goblins fled in a panic.
“Squeak—Squeak—Squeak”
The iron door creaked as if it hadn’t been repaired in years.
Bang!
Something was moving.
Bang!
Each step caused a tremendous vibration in the cave.
Bang!
Suddenly, a mysterious bulge appeared on the wall ahead.
In the next moment, boom!
A fist the size of a soccer ball smashed the front wall to pieces! Debris flew everywhere, and the true form of the monster was exposed to everyone’s sight.
Battle Puppet (Special Elite):
Rarity: Gold Grade
Level: 30
Health: 50,000
Physical Attack Power: 312-335
Physical Defense: 275
Magical Defense: 252
Skills: Thunder Fist, Hardened Body, Giant Strength, Self-Destruct
Description: The Misty Rock Goblins cobbled together materials to create a powerful battle puppet.
A Gold Grade elite!? This attribute is even stronger than the Diamond Lizard!
However, it seemed that the goblins still could not control this puppet freely; otherwise, they wouldn’t have fled in a panic.
The attack power was still within an acceptable range, with only 3 levels of difference; it wouldn’t be a total massacre.
Here we go!
Star Cat pounced from the left first, its Frost Claw infused with cold air struck!
-57
What the hell!? Star Cat’s physical attack was over 400! How could it not break through?
Moreover, the damage displayed two small words beside it—Immune.
Another boss that doesn’t take control effects… I’ve encountered too many of those in the past few days.
The battle puppet rocked its body upon being attacked, its right fist crashing down with incredible force!
-1589
Star Cat was knocked back several steps; the difference in strength was too great!
At almost the same time, Starry launched an attack from the right, Normal Attack + Ice Moon Slash + Normal Attack!
-768
-1402
-755
Fortunately, Starry’s super high attack power could still deal damage.
The battle puppet also turned its gaze towards this human.
Zizz—zizz!
A terrifying iron fist crackled with electricity; although the panel didn’t display magical attack power, her intuition told her that she absolutely couldn’t take this hit!
Thousand Flash Step!
Her speed surged to new heights; Starry tilted her head slightly, the fist brushed past her neck.
Phew, that was close…
-873
Then, she was slammed against the wall with immense force.
If it weren’t for the Ice Flow Shield, she would have been instantly killed by that move…
This Thunder Fist turned out to be a skill that enhanced normal attacks to AoE attacks, combined with the boost from Giant Strength, even Starry’s 359 physical defense nearly couldn’t withstand it!
“Cough…” It was the first time Starry experienced such a brutal blow; she was almost embedded in the wall.
Seeing the situation, Alu sensed the danger, forcing himself to calm down as ice power erupted from his hand, and in the next moment, an ice blue cage formed around the battle puppet.
The battle puppet crashed into the ice cage, seeming to sense this obstructive thing, and then—boom!!!
“Pfft!” The cage was destroyed, and Alu coughed up a mouthful of blood; this move was merely something he had just learned, and its resilience was far inferior to Yaho’s!
“Clan leader!” Other goblins panicked at the sight, drawing their short bows and aiming at the battle puppet, firing in unison!
-1

-1
…
A series of insignificant damage; how could this be… they couldn’t believe their eyes.
Boom!!
Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded from behind the goblins, and the two goblins guarding Pori were blown to pieces, having been instantly killed!
Moreover, smoke wafted from the back, enveloping the entire cave in a fog, obscuring everything.
“Hehe, do you think you can keep watch on me?” It was Pori’s voice!
“Damn humans and goblins, you all must die! Once the battle puppet takes care of you, I’ll command it to deal with those old geezers!” Pori whispered, hiding around a corner.
The vision was blurry as Starry struggled to land on the ground.
Whoosh—!
A powerful fist wind howled in, and the battle puppet was hardly affected by the fog!
-856
Starry’s abdomen was hit hard by the Thunder Fist.
“Ugh…” Although it was just a game, she could still feel the incredible pain.
