Chapter 175: Black Ghost
The boss still has about 140,000 health points left.
There is a cooldown of about 20 seconds for consuming the Cold Crystal ore.
If what Brother Shiu said is correct, then the boss won’t retaliate until its health recovers to 200,000, which might be a great breakthrough point.
The small monsters have already been pulled away, and they won’t respawn for a short time.
An excellent output environment.
Zane made the decision after careful consideration.
What the…
Of course not! She just wants to survive for a wave and see if she can jump the mechanism; after all, the death penalty in the dungeon isn’t high.
Thinking it, she acted—Starry suddenly slashed down at the giant’s wound.
-4213
The damage is decent; continue! Frenzied Sword Decision!
-9613
The sword aura widened the already cracked wound, and the boss yowled in pain but showed no intention of fighting back, only timidly retreating, wanting to consume another ore.
Starry wasn’t merciful, stepping forward and landing another normal attack.
-4601
Meanwhile, Swift Shadow Wolf struck down heavily, and a storm responded, forming countless wind blades beneath the giant. Unfortunately, its massive body couldn’t be covered by the storm domain.
The White Wolf showed no signs of stopping; its gaze fixed, and from the hidden Elemental Horn in its head, a raging wind element shot out, forming yet another layer of storm domain!
-1049
-965
-1072
…
Under the double storm, just the damage from this skill reached over 7k per second.
Moreover, the incessant wind blades had already put a temporary suppression on the boss, making its retreating motions seem staggered, like with a 300 ms delay.
What a good opportunity!
Treading on the Ghostfire Battle Boots, Starry stabilized her posture, raised Qiu Yue Sword high, and executed a chaotic three-slice attack!
A surge of momentum erupted, a terrifying force radiating from the sword body, and with the first slash of Qiu Yue, it fiercely struck down on the bright red wound.
-22468
The blade continuously sliced into the boss’s leg, triggering a terrifying critical hit damage!
Tear had this kind of effect!? Striking at the wound caused by the skill forced the hit location to become a weak point, and in an instant, countless battle methods appeared in Zane’s mind.
“Roar!!!” The Cold Giant roared in pain but could only glare angrily at one person and one wolf, unable to fight back as if it was under some limit.
After finishing a set of skills, Zane decisively switched back to Wishcaster.
Meditation + Blood Sacrifice!
-5541
Health immediately plummeted by 35%.
However, the mana also rose to a healthy level.
The blonde girl chanted, “Wish—Fierce Fire!!”
With flames burning, it scorched the boss’s deep blue leg.
-8432
-8675
-8551
…
With a restraining effect, Fire Curtain’s damage even reached twice that of the dual wind domains.
The boss squeezed, wanting to leave this death zone, but the rapidly rotating wind blades prevented any movements.
The boss was hit twice by Starry.
In just a few seconds, the Cold Crystal Giant’s health was knocked back to 8%.
Finally, it fell to the ground with a cry, leaving the storm domain and the area of fierce fire.
Chen Chen’s eyes brightened; she didn’t expect that with a full burst of output, she could instantly take over 30% of the boss’s health.
The downed boss casually grabbed an ore, ready to feed it to itself.
Whoa, you really can eat!
Zane and Starry synchronously stepped forward, launching Magic + Dance of Chaos together!
-3542
-9730
+27614
The boss still managed to eat it.
But it’s not a big problem; just a little more output and they could take down the boss!
“Achen, what are you doing?! Hurry back to support; the pets are almost dead!” Brother Shiu said anxiously, with no damage absorption, causing a few backline professions to scatter. Even Lord Xisi and the Lightning Rabbit couldn’t withstand the focus fire and flew back to the pet space.
Apart from those small monsters, new ones were also about to take shape!
“Wait a moment, just drag it out a bit longer; we’re almost there!” Zane replied casually, but the Magic Sword in her hand paused.
Ten seconds later, empowered by Lingxin, Starry stabbed a sword into the boss’s chest, emptying its last sliver of health.
Whoosh! The giant’s figure slowly dissipated, leaving behind a field of loot.
“Ding!”
System Notification: Congratulations, your team has achieved the title “Giant Slayer” (Easy), gaining 25 Reputation Points.
Title!?
Giant Slayer (Easy): Inflicts an additional 3% damage to all giant hostile units.
Who would have thought that killing the boss would come with a hidden title.
Don’t underestimate that 3%; extreme output is often stacked through various equipment attributes.
Moreover, Zane had only seen two titles since the server opened.
What were the conditions for achieving them?
Pride of the Wolf Clan, obtained through clearing the underground passage and earning the approval of the Gray Wolf King.
Hero Among Drunkards, recognized by the drunken sword Xieu as a drunkard.
“… Now that I think about it, these things might not be obtainable when the server shuts down.
Looking back, it seemed like the reason the small monsters vanished was that the boss had fallen.
Several teams looked perplexed, still unsure what had happened.
“Done!” Zane made an OK gesture.
…
“Come, come, come, it’s loot time, don’t panic!” The blonde girl called out.
“Wait a moment, what exactly did you do? How did the boss just disappear???” Brother Shiu said incredulously.
This question clearly voiced the confusion of others.
“Uh… normal output… huh?”
At that moment, Jiangxia scrolled through the system panel and suddenly exclaimed, “Look at the message log!!”
Five minutes later.
“… Brother Shiu looked at the damage on the battle log and let out a breath, “You are such a damn…”
The girls weren’t focusing on that, and Youyoufen exclaimed, “I got the title of Giant Slayer!”
“I have it too! And I got 25 reputation points! It’s my first time getting something like this.” Cute Orange agreed.
“I guess… this is due to Zanny and Starry overpowering the boss.” Jiangxia analyzed. “But it’s of no use to me.”
“Let’s discuss that later; who’s going to loot the rewards?” Juchan asked.
“I’ll do it, I’ll do it!” Cute Orange volunteered.
“Hmm? Silly Orange, you won’t turn a gold-tier item into a white one, will you?”
“How could that be! Just wait, I’ll get a gold item right away!” She confidently walked over.
Reaching out for the equipment, she froze.
“Is it black iron?” Juchan asked curiously.
Cute Orange shook her head, grabbing the equipment in her hand. “Don’t look at this helmet’s rarity as just white… actually it has…”
“Black Ghost.”
“Very rare…”
“Black Ghost.”
“Uh…”
“Black Ghost.”
“Enough already!”
…
In the end, Zane opened the remaining gear himself, after all, those 6 points of luck weren’t fake.
A total of two pieces of Cold Crystal Radiance gear were opened: a tank helmet, a healing shield, and three pieces of black iron equipment. Not a single gold item was seen.
They quickly distributed it; the helmet and Elemental Horn conflicted, so she didn’t bother using it, planning to leave it for Brother Hai.
Apart from the gear, a special item also dropped.
Ice Crystal Fragment: A broken ice crystal, its energy is gradually dissipating.
