Chapter 32: Windrunner Cloak
The cooldown for Charge is about 10 seconds, and once it hits, it results in a stunning effect lasting 5 seconds. Coupled with the boss’s incredibly strong output, the target locked onto by him is almost certain to die.
Normally, this boss requires a tank to endure the hits while being supported by multiple priests.
Moreover, the level of this dungeon is clearly not something that the current players can handle.
Only Zane and Starry, the two outliers, are able to match wits with the boss.
Most of the General’s aggro is focused on Starry, so what Zane needs to do is carry her away the moment Starry’s Thousand Flash Step ends, dragging it out until the next cooldown refreshes.
Once this was clarified, it wasn’t as thrilling as at the beginning, because as long as Thousand Flash Step is available, with Starry’s reaction speed, Charge will inevitably not be able to hit her; Zane is confident about this.
Normal Attack
-165
A surge of dense energy, the Autumn Moon strike is unleashed!
“Ice Moon Slash!”
-728
Moreover, the freezing effect successfully triggered.
This time, Starry did not rush to leave but instead plunged directly into the center of the General’s head.
-654
The blue weakness damage combined with a critical hit raised the damage from normal attacks to a considerable level.
This series took away 1500 health from the boss!
-324
A follow-up strike.
The boss angrily revived from its frozen state, while Starry leisurely sat on the wolf’s back and disappeared into the distance.
…
-169
“Boom”
The massive General lost its last health bar and fell to the ground.
There was no time to hesitate, Starry and Zane simultaneously launched an attack aimed at the center of the skull’s flame.
“Zap”
The flame extinguished, and the boss dropped a heap of loot.
“Swish”
A flash of gold, and Starry actually leaped straight to level 15! While Zane reached level 14.
Now they can equip the Bony Armor and Bony Boots, but first, let’s check the loot.
Windrunner Cloak:
Rarity: Black Iron Equipment
Required Level: 15
Defense: 13
Health: 200
Stamina: 8
Agility: 15
Strength: 10
Movement Speed: 5%
Special Effect: Windrunner, increases movement speed by 20% when exiting combat.
Description: Comes swiftly and departs swiftly.
The defense and health aren’t particularly high; the specialty of this cloak lies in its speed! A steady 5% increase in movement speed, along with a 20% increase when exiting combat, means that in player duels, higher movement speed grants the initiative! Agility is also boosted by 15 points, so it seems this equipment is destined for Starry.
There’s also a Bony piece of equipment; is it another from the Bony series?
Bony Helmet:
Rarity: Black Iron Equipment
Required Level: 15
Attack: 20
Defense: 10
Agility: 18
Strength: 15
Description: It is said that those who wear it have all died without exception.
It only provides attribute bonuses, but the attributes are particularly brutal. If given to Starry, her output would definitely rise to another level.
“I don’t want it; these bones look ugly,” Starry complained.
“…” Fine, let’s wait until I reach level 15 before using it.
After equipping the Bony Armor and Bony Boots, Zane’s stats have undergone a leap in improvement.
Gray Wolf (Fengchen Yanhua)
Level: 14
Health: 1570
Attack: 67-70
Defense: 43
Skills: Call Companions, Sprint, Venomous Claw, Gray Wolf Spirit
Description: The younger generation whom the Gray Wolf King has high hopes for.
If these were the attributes before, perhaps he could withstand the Skeleton General’s attack; it must be said that half-black iron equipment truly has unbeatable stats.
And Starry also equipped the Windrunner Cloak, which automatically transformed into a flowing white dress. The extremely thin fabric made her body’s lines faintly visible, showcasing Starry’s perfect figure; two slits opened on either side, resembling a qipao, allowing for freedom of movement even during combat.
So beautiful! Just like a fairy from a novel, unexpectedly, from the perspective of bystanders, Starry looked surprisingly good, though the dress appeared slightly revealing.
“Don’t look!” Starry’s face turned red.
What’s there to be shy about? I’ve seen everything about you…
“Ice—!”
“—Moon!”
I was wrong, I was wrong! Zane quickly knelt and begged for mercy.
…
Level: 15
Name: Shattering Stars
Title: None
Class: None
Health: 610
Attack: 220-235
Defense: 38
Strength: 36
Intelligence: 5
Agility: 124
Stamina: 13
Spirit: 5
Luck: 0
(How often do you guys think I should post a full panel? (￣▽￣)ノ)
After equipping the Windrunner Cloak, Starry’s attack power has skyrocketed to an explosive 220-235! And this is while not even having changed classes. Perhaps this is the power of focusing entirely on Agility.
The boss also dropped 5 gold coins, which quickly recouped the costs for preparing items!
With the death of the Skeleton General, a series of dim stairs appeared ahead.
However, with the magical lanterns around, none of this is an issue.
Just as they were about to continue to the next floor.
“Achen! Breakfast is ready! I bought you soy milk and fried dough sticks; remember to…” Brother Shiu’s words abruptly stopped. “My heavens, you haven’t been up all night, have you!?”
“…No, I was just sleepwalking,” Zane calmly replied.
“Sleepwalking, my foot! Even if you’re grinding, you have to take care of your health! I left the food on the table; hurry and log off to eat and rest!” Brother Shiu scolded.
“Okay,” Zane nodded.
“By the way, how many levels did you gain overnight?”
Zane thought for a moment and did not hide it. “Just level 14.”
“Damn, I just barely hit level 10 yesterday, and you’re already at level 14???? You little brat, you can’t be the designer’s golden child, can you!”
“Sigh, I can’t help it; gaming talent is just like this~”
“Damn it, I’m not talking to you anymore. I need to log in quickly to level up! If I don’t hurry, who knows where you’ll leave me behind! By the way, which city did you choose? And what’s your game ID?”
“Yunshui City, ID is Fengchen Yanhua; you should know how to spell it, but the map I’m on is a bit special, so I might not receive friend requests.”
“Damn, there’s a special map? Why is your luck so good?” Brother Shiu cursed as he walked out.
But with this fuss, Zane indeed felt dizzy.
In the past, sleep was about observing Starry’s performance from the sidelines. Now, it’s different; he became a participant directly, making this sleep feel as if he hadn’t slept at all! In the future, it’s better not to control the situation together, as it seriously affects both of their sleep quality.
Starry? Let’s take a break; we’ve been playing for too long, Zane said.
“Ah—” Starry opened her little mouth, looking thoroughly sleepy. “Great, fighting this General feels exhausting; let’s… take a nap.”
Then Starry’s consciousness vanished, seeing this, Zane logged off too.
Fortunately, this dungeon doesn’t restrict logging off to rest; otherwise, he would be exhausted.
By the way, he mentioned briefly in the group chat.
Zanny: Playing all night is a bit tiring; I’m going to sleep for a bit; you guys go ahead and play. Tired.jpg
Putting down his phone, his consciousness sank into the abyss as Zane relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.
Perhaps, this is the most comfortable sleep Zane has ever had, without entering any dreams; his brain nearly stopped thinking.
