Chapter 82: Locking Attack
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone changed slightly.
Good kid, I can’t believe you said that!
“…” Fortunately, Mingxiao Youhun was someone who had seen a lot, “Then Brother Fengchen, just keep the defense reduction active.”
To be honest, the 5 points of defense reduction from the Poison Blade had long become inadequate; whether it would take effect later was already a question.
But with the existence of Starry, they gained considerable confidence.
Starry had been at the top of the Yunshui City leaderboard for a long time and her attributes and skills shown in battle videos were quite impressive, significantly increasing the chances of success.
They could have called on other experts, but they had no time to waste; most people were sleeping at this hour. If they had to stay up for a few more hours, it would be fine for him, but the two girls simply couldn’t handle it.
If it weren’t for the fact that most of the elite players in the guild had already died once, he might have wanted to give up on this boss; it’s hard to back down now.
…
The five of them slowly approached the boss.
“Lian Lian, don’t enter the boss’s attack range yet. His level is much higher than yours; your stealth won’t work!”
“Got it—Boss, you’re so naggy.” Lian Lian said impatiently.
Mingxiao Youhun didn’t mind, seemingly used to it, and continued, “Brother Fengchen, how much health and defense do you have?”
“2290 health, 58 physical defense, and my magic defense is about the same as having none.”
“2300 health?” He was a bit surprised. He hadn’t changed classes and still had that much health? At least he must be wearing full black iron equipment.
“That should be enough; when necessary, you need to take a hit from the boss.”
“Understood.”
“How about Starry’s health and defense?”
“Health 2830,” Starry said calmly.
As a swordsman, having nearly 3000 health was already quite robust. Mingxiao Youhun nodded in approval.
“Physical defense 289, magic defense 2.”
289? That’s a bit low—no, wait, there’s no decimal point?
“Two hundred eighty-nine?” Mingxiao Youhun felt he had misheard and repeated it.
“Yeah, two hundred eighty-nine. Is there a problem?” Starry asked, puzzled.
That’s a huge problem! The highest defense he had ever seen was just over 100, and that was for a full agility-build assassin; you’re approaching 300?
Are the people on the leaderboard really gods?
Forget it, “No, let’s start.”
…
Lian Lian went into stealth mode. Although the boss and teammates could still see her, it would make her feel a bit more adaptable.
Mingxiao Youhun held a brown shield and stepped forward slowly, while the others followed behind him.
Suddenly, the boss stood up from its seat, eyes wide open.
“Triggered! Don’t attack yet, I’ll go up and touch it a few times, wait for the laser to pass before we move in!”
“Okay!”
So Mingxiao Youhun, armed with a large sword and a shield, resolutely charged towards the boss.
The Stone Statue didn’t speak; it raised its arm towards the sky, and a laser shot out from its fingertip, piercing through the ceiling.
Good grief, so it was you who caused all those holes!
The reaction time was extremely short. A purple laser fell from above Mingxiao Youhun and struck him squarely.
-3000!
His health bar instantly plummeted to a quarter; he calmly took out a blood potion and a high-level HP potion and chugged them down.
+283
+400
Not only that, Mingxiao Caihong waved her staff, and a green light flew towards Mingxiao’s vice president.
Healing Spell!
+379
Such high instant healing! It was almost as effective as the high-level HP potion.
Then she cast a slow healing spell.
Mingxiao Youhun’s health gradually restored to half.
It’s time to go!
At this moment, Mingxiao Youhun took a few steps forward and finally saw the boss’s attributes.
Demon Statue King (Leader Level Boss):
Rarity: Silver Grade
Level: 25
Health: 50000
Physical Attack: 125-157
Magical Attack: 175-220
Physical Defense: 100
Magical Defense: 100
Skills: Aurora, ???, ???
Description: A demon statue hidden in the Demon Man’s Secret Realm, a weapon of the ancient battlefield.
This attribute was even stronger than the Death Knight.
With a terrifying 50k health and attack power reaching over 200+, and considering that it was a boss with dual magic and martial arts, he feared that Mingxiao Youhun would have a tough time!
Both defenses reached an astonishing 100, which should be related to the defensive nature of the statue itself, and it had two hidden skills, which meant they had to be cautious at all times!
“Damn!” Mingxiao Youhun instinctively cursed.
“Boss, mind your language,” Lian Lian reminded him.
But he didn’t hear her; what nonsense, is this something a human can fight?
What a coincidence, Zane thought the same when he first saw the Death Knight’s attributes.
Time to go!
Zane and Starry rushed out from the left and right.
The demon statue also raised its arm aggressively and slammed down towards Mingxiao Youhun.
Guardian Shield!
The giant fist pierced through the shield’s illusory form and struck the shield itself.
-321
-549
Is this really a normal attack? The mixed physical and magical two-stage damage directly reduced his health to a quarter!
Another hit and he would be done for!
“This boss is unbeatable! A normal attack hits me for nearly 900 health! You all should go back; I’m losing a level at this rate!” Years of experience fighting bosses told him that if they fought hard, it would absolutely lead to a wipe!
If there were more people, they could manage to heal, but with only a few of them, they couldn’t deal with such a cheaty boss; retreating in time could save the others’ levels, and that would also be an explanation for the two external aids.
Mingxiao Caihong and Lian Lian showed hesitant expressions; should they throw all their efforts away?
Zane, however, ignored his words; how could you know if you didn’t try?
The fast-moving Starry arrived first, striking the Demon Man’s abdomen at an awkward angle with the Qiu Yue Sword.
-2113
The damage was very high, instantly taking away 1/25 of the boss’s health.
Followed by Ice Moon Slash!
Retracting the Qiu Yue Sword, he slashed again, drawing a sky blue crescent that struck the statue’s abdomen fiercely, but the frost effect didn’t activate; the statue was likely immune to various abnormal statuses.
-3737
The two consecutive high damages even knocked off a few pieces of rubble.
Another normal attack!
-2046
He dealt nearly 8000 health damage to the boss right at the start!
As a result, the demon’s hatred towards Starry immediately exploded and it completely abandoned its previous target, slamming towards Starry.
Though it was a statue, its movements weren’t slow.
No time to be careless, Thousand Flash Step!
His speed suddenly increased, and before the boss’s attack landed, he had already turned to its back.
Just as Starry prepared to strike, a magical light shot from the statue’s palm, curving around and smashing down on Starry’s back!
-997
Locked Attack!?
Mingxiao Youhun’s eyes were filled with shock; it was clear that he was also seeing this type of guaranteed hit for the first time.
At that moment, Zane also arrived, thrusting the Poison Blade into the defenseless back of the statue.
-21
“…” It didn’t penetrate at all and neither did the poison damage or defense reduction take effect; clearly, it was ineffective.
“Damn it, we’ll fight it out!” Mingxiao Youhun yelled, provoking the boss.
Everyone else was attacking, and he couldn’t just sit back and watch.
Who would have thought the demon statue wouldn’t be affected at all? It swung another attack towards Starry!
“Big sister!” Mingxiao Youhun became anxious. Starry’s super high output gave him hope, but she couldn’t be killed like this!
“Got it!”
The Healing Light flickered above Starry’s head.
+379
Starry naturally wouldn’t sit idly by; she radiated an astonishing aura and unleashed a frenzied three-hit slash!
The reckless slashes, though chaotic, unleashed immense strength and momentum that suppressed the statue’s normal attacks.
-2509
+251
-3745
+375
-5057
+506
And under the effect of Bloodthirst from the battlefield, she returned to full health!
