Chapter 250: Take Off!
Kurei was already exhausted after continuous battles, compounded by the pressure of the Undead Flame, not to mention having used the Special Skill, Flame of Desolation.
For players, it consumes Special Skill points, but for NPCs, sacrificing the Special Skills in their equipment costs their own energy.
“Are you okay?” Yuan Chen couldn’t help but ask.
Kurei struggled to support himself with the Flame Sword against the ground, managing to say, “I’m fine… Miss, you don’t need to worry about me, as long as that thing isn’t truly dead… I won’t fall!”
He was putting on a brave face.
The intermittent White Light on his body revealed that the time for the Unmatched Realm was almost up. Once he lost the support of this skill, Kurei’s strength would drastically decrease, and it wasn’t impossible for him to fall into a trap.
Furthermore, as the magical formation progressed, a dizzying purple light covered the entire underground pit.
If he guessed correctly, in less than 20 seconds, everyone would be lifted to the sky by the newly summoned Bone Dragon!
The outlines on the ground became increasingly clear; based on the height from which the Bone Dragon had flown, falling down was certain to mean death!
In this urgent moment, three Assassin players exited, targeting the equipment of three Golden Bosses.
However, “Forgotten Memories,” who was closest, was the first to seize the enormous axe sheath as loot, not even bothering to check what it was—just picking everything up!
“He beat me to it!” Suddenly, on his left and right, two Assassins appeared.
They were “You Are Too Beautiful” and “Burial.”
Carrying the plague, they had only about a quarter of their health left, yet without changing expression, they threw down their daggers for a double backstab!
“Forgotten Memories” currently had less than 1k health left and, after grabbing the equipment and standing up, was unable to dodge!
Oh no!
-4665
-1356
The two damages were practically simultaneous.
In the end, “Forgotten Memories” failed to evade the Assassins’ attack, turning into white light and disappearing, with almost everything he had just picked up dropping out, including the newly acquired Guild Token!!
So, what about the other damage?
“You Are Too Beautiful” looked at the arrow lodged in “Burial’s” chest and instinctively swallowed. He calmly waved his hand and gathered all the equipment into his bag.
Camouflage!
With a fluid motion, he re-entered stealth mode in less than a second.
Fenghua frowned. Even though she had used Meteor Arrow to predict and deal with one Assassin, the other one still got away.
The visibility in the current environment was extremely low; the intense purple light severely obstructed vision. Maintaining an accurate hit rate was somewhat challenging. After all, Normal Attacks in “Dream of the Mists” have no locking mode, only using guided attacks can help adjust.
Next, they would definitely show up near the next boss. With the pressure of the plague and magic formation, there wasn’t much time left—patience was the only strategy.
For those wishing to claim rewards, there was no need for any mercy.
As for Starry, she was busy with something far more important.
After the Shadow Stealth Assassin’s death, Starry directly broke through the level 35 barrier and reached a new realm.
As always, she kept her information hidden.
World Announcement: Congratulations to player “*****” for being the first to reach level 35, receiving the special item “Gate of Profound Ice” and 100 Reputation Points!
A blue square door icon appeared in her bag, likely a new item, though she wasn’t sure what it was for yet.
System Notification: Detected that “Qiu Yue Sword” can use Evolution Stone, do you want to use it?
Can it be upgraded again!?
Looking at the Evolution Stones in her bag, she still had T4 left, which should be enough, so she decided to use it!
“Beep!”
Used 4 Evolution Stones, Qiu Yue Sword evolution successful!
Qiu Yue Sword:
Rarity: Platinum
Required Level: 35
Attack Power: 750-999
Agility: 245
Strength: 233
Critical Hit Rate: 12%
Evasion Rate: 12%
Special Traits: 25% chance to trigger Qiu Yue Strike on attack, converting this attack’s damage to 250%.
Special Trait: Agile, increases movement speed by 12%, attack speed by 12%.
Special Trait: Sword Heart, adds 12% damage on attack.
Special Skill: Seven Star Flash Break, unleashes seven consecutive thrusts like breaking bamboo; each attack can independently choose a target or automatically hit the nearest enemy, with each attack’s damage fixed at 70%, cooldown time of 6 hours (once activated, cannot be stopped, triggering Qiu Yue Strike’s chance doubles).
Characteristics: Cannot drop, cannot trade.
Characteristics: Can evolve.
Description: None.
Her attack and attributes had far surpassed those of the Flame Sword, likely due to the level difference. The critical hit rate and evasion rate each increased by 2%, and all traits received certain enhancements, with the triggering chance of Qiu Yue Strike changing from the original 15% to 25%!
Moreover, it added a special skill, Seven Star Flash Break!
From the description, it looked somewhat like a combo, but in reality, it was not.
It was a lethal technique that incessantly charged to break and suppress the opponent, unable to stop once released!
The total of seven attacks at 70% damage equated to 490%, which appeared slightly lower than the Flame of Desolation.
However… the truly terrifying part of this move was that it doubled the triggering probability of Qiu Yue Strike! After being triggered, the damage multiplier changed from 70% to 175%!
Overall, even triggering just three times would yield a multiplier of 805%!
After equipping the new Qiu Yue Sword, Starry’s attack power reached 5737-5986, far exceeding the expected standards for players and even NPCs at this stage.
This was the result of the combined effects of the platinum sword and several pieces of golden equipment, along with the unusually high agility growth of the Swordsman class.
She quickly turned off the equipment glow to avoid attracting unnecessary trouble.
“Roar——!!!”
At that moment, the ground began to tremble violently, and the Bone Dragon, hidden underground, broke free, revealing its terrifying skeletal frame!
“You shall ascend to the heavens with this giant dragon!!” The Shadow Lord’s expression was fierce as he got out of the magic formation’s range, pressing tightly against his chest, and flames flickered at his brow.
Is it fire poison!?
It was too far away to see the damage numbers clearly, but judging from the previous Flame of Desolation’s damage, this fire poison certainly wouldn’t be pleasant!
Unfortunately, right now, the players couldn’t even ensure their own safety, let alone fight the boss.
However, unexpectedly, the fire within the Shadow Lord suddenly expanded rapidly!
This is…
A humanoid self-propelling light bulb!??
The next moment, a thunderous explosion echoed across the land, and a humanoid object was blasted into the sky.
Boom!
26948
Then it crashed onto the Bone Dragon.
Kurei looked at the dust-covered Shadow Lord in front of him, his face froze.
One had to say, the explosive effect of the Flame Sword is indeed powerful! If caught off guard, even the Shadow Lord could be sent flying into the sky.
Yet… why the hell did you blow him back here!!!
Kurei panickedly lifted the Flame Sword, standing ready.
“Um…” The Shadow Lord groaned, still unable to get up, as the Bone Dragon finally broke free from the constraints of the ground, roaring and shooting straight into the sky!
“Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!”
In the high sky, various screams mixed together—men and women, NPCs and players; no one could maintain their composure under such circumstances.
Tiny white dots occasionally fell, and then hundreds of thousands of fall damage led to deaths.
At this moment, the challenge was not technical skill but how to stabilize and survive while flying on the dragon.
