Chapter 77: That Girl Appeared Again!
For Zane, the Charge skill was not unfamiliar.
As long as he hid behind a huge rock, he could let the impact hit the boulder and become dizzy.
However, it was clearly too late now; the afterimage was too fast!
Moreover, the ground was covered in rubble, severely restricting movement. If he accidentally lost his footing and fell, it would basically mean death.
In a hurry, Starry stepped on her speed shoes and pushed off the stones beneath her to the left and back!
Whoosh!
The charging enemy shadow brushed past, leaving behind a “miss” label.
Pressing down on the rubble, some sharp stones left scratches on her tender skin.
Gritting her teeth, she steadied herself.
When Specially Treating All Dissent regained his composure, a look of surprise crossed his face; someone actually managed to dodge his Charge at such a short distance!?
Hey, that would make things boring otherwise!
With a high spirit, he raised his sword and turned back.
Ice Cone!
How could I let you approach so easily?!
Star Cat’s light blue tail stood high, and a 1.5-meter-long blue ice cone floated in front of her.
“Swish”
The ice cone shot through the air.
“What!?” Specially Treating All Dissent exclaimed, the sword naturally crossing in front of his chest.
Block!
“Clang!!”
-26
Due to the large size of the ice cone, he couldn’t achieve a perfect block, resulting in some damage.
Moreover, this indicated that his equipment was definitely not bad!
“Is that all you’ve got?” Specially Treating All Dissent sneered.
Starry remained unfazed, looking coldly at him.
“Is it all about defense? How boring.”
After saying this, he stepped forward, taking three steps at once, weapon raised, the fatal strike was coming!
Though Starry couldn’t tell what skill it was, she wouldn’t be easily hit.
While the Swordsman’s agility growth was slightly inferior to that of Archers and Assassins, it wouldn’t fall too far behind. The current sword strike probably couldn’t be dodged with her current movement speed; there was no time to hesitate!
Thousand Flash Step!
With a 50% speed boost, she became much lighter and swiftly avoided that attack, maneuvering to the enemy’s back for a normal attack!
At the same time, Star Cat jumped down from her shoulder, deadly claws infused with frost, lunging fiercely at his forehead.
“Damn!” he cursed, releasing a green turtle from above!
-356
The turtle shell fortuitously blocked the frost-claw attack, freezing the entire turtle into an ice sculpture.
Meanwhile, Starry’s attack had already arrived, slashing down at his unprotected back.
-846
Specially Treating All Dissent’s health dropped by nearly one-third in an instant.
She could take him out! Starry wasn’t one to let up; the Ice Moon Slash’s motion took form, with a surging blue sword edge aimed at the enemy’s back.
Who would have known, the Swordsman stumbled and fell to the ground, the Ice Moon Slash slicing through the air, missing.
This was clearly deliberate; maybe he sensed the threat of Starry’s overwhelming attack power. Could a normal attack really take out an armored Swordsman’s 800+ health? He resorted to such a desperate tactic.
He narrowly avoided the most lethal Ice Moon Slash.
But what came next was crucial!
He pulled out a bottle of high-grade HP potion with his left hand, not even looking, and directly stuffed it into his mouth.
+400
His health was significantly restored.
Damn, his pet was frozen and couldn’t use its control skills!
As he flipped over to leave, Starry wouldn’t allow him to escape so easily; the Qiu Yue Sword predicted his next position and stabbed down.
Miss!
A smile crept onto Specially Treating All Dissent’s lips; thankfully, he stopped just in time! Did this guy still want to predict?
“What are you so proud of?” Starry snapped, striking out sharply with her sword, while Star Cat also attacked.
Damn! This crazy woman!
-872
-159
His health dropped directly by a thousand, leaving him with only half!
Using the momentum from the attack, he finally managed to get up, pressing down on a rock and jumping to the opposite side.
Starry frowned, instantly killing the little turtle still frozen in ice with a single sword strike.
At this stage, pets didn’t even have time to level up to high levels; it consumed way too much experience!
Then, the Swordsman ran away in disgrace.
Trying to drag out the Charge cooldown? Zane could naturally see through it.
He seemed to activate the special skill of his shoes, running immensely fast; in just 2 seconds, he opened up a distance of 10 yards!
Chase! With a permanent state of a 34% speed boost, he was not worried at all. Moreover, as long as he waited for the combat disengagement state, the 20% speed boost from the Windwalker Dress would come into play, and he would have no chance!
Sure enough, after 10 seconds, he felt footsteps behind him, prickling at his back.
He quickly hid behind a huge rock.
In a moment of urgency, Starry resolutely chased after him, turning her view only to find a blue longsword slashing toward her with terrifying force.
It was Heavy Strike!
Oh no, there was no time to dodge! Starry’s pupils widened.
-1132
A sky blue figure blocked the strike, being heavily knocked back onto a rock.
“Star Cat!”
“Gah?” The Swordsman evidently hadn’t realized the outcome and turned to escape.
A nameless anger ignited in Zane’s heart; this guy not only approached for no reason but also treated Star Cat like that…
Ice Moon Slash!
A vast energy emanated from the sword, this slash was accompanied by an Autumn Moon Strike!
-3345
In one blow, it cleared his remaining health!
The sudden drop in temperature encased the entire corpse in ice.
Specially Treating All Dissent leveled down, turning into a white light and disappearing, leaving only a pair of battle boots behind.
Starry hurried over to Star Cat.
The little guy still had two-thirds of his health bar and quickly got back up, lively as ever.
Only then did Starry feel relieved.
By the way, it seemed like he dropped the boots?
Windrunner Boots:
Rarity: Black Iron Equipment
Required Level: 20
Defense: 14
Health: 200
Strength: 11
Agility: 11
Special Skill: Windrunner, increases movement speed by 33% for 5 seconds, cooldown of 10 minutes.
Description: A Windrunner, charging forward.
The attributes were decent; the特点 of these boots was the disappearance of permanent movement speed, replaced by an acceleration special skill. No wonder he ran so fast just now like the wind.
Too bad he didn’t drop his sword…
As the battle ended, the scene reverted to its previous state.
Cute Orange exclaimed, “That girl appeared again!”
“…”
…
“Hello, my name is Shaking Off Starry; just call me Starry.” Zane controlled Starry to extend her hand, signaling friendship.
“Meow~” Star Cat called languidly.
“Ah.” Cute Orange was momentarily taken aback. “Hello, my name is Cute Orange; just call me…”
“Just call me Silly Orange.” Zane smirked.
“Yes, just call me Orange… You silly head! Don’t call me Silly Orange again!” Cute Orange raised her tiny fist.
“Hmm, Orange~” Starry chuckled.
…
“Why didn’t you say you knew her earlier! You made me look bad.” Starry walked ahead, and Cute Orange complained to Zane.
“Can’t you check the party list? Her name is right above yours!”
“Eh! So it is!”
“…”
“I’ve never really partied before…” she said, sounding embarrassed.
