Chapter 70 : Are You Here? Check the Damage?
Are You Here? Check the Damage?
Looking around, the area was teeming with goblins of all sizes. They crowded and jostled together, their terrifying stone axes and spiked clubs cutting through the air with sharp, whistling sounds, raining down like a raging storm.
"Protect the backline, deal damage!"
The silver-haired girl barked coldly. Even when facing an entire swarm of goblins, she still pressed forward, swinging her blade in an unwavering charge.
She was the strongest in the team, playing the role of the sharpest arrowhead in a volley—an arrowhead that had only one mission: to do everything it could to penetrate the enemy ranks.
Just as Chen Zixuan finished his words, Dawn's Light had already sidestepped and hefted his [Goblin Hero Greatsword], releasing the strongest early-game Warrior skill—[Whirlwind Slash]!
The giant sword, about one and a half meters long, spun in a full arc under a surge of strength, sweeping away a swath of goblins with overwhelming force and instantly clearing a brief zone of safety for the team.
On the other side, Yuewu also fought her inner fear. Her staff flashed, releasing a pale blue ice barrier.
Over a dozen stone axes thudded into the barrier with muffled "bang, Bang, Bang" sounds. Blue ice splinters flew in all directions, successfully blocking the monsters' attacks from the right.
Gu Yanxi's class was Priest. She couldn't help much except for keeping her head down, doing her best not to look at the hideous monsters around, and jogging closely after the three powerful teammates.
Because of his epic set, Chen Zixuan's stats rivaled an ordinary level 15 player, while the surrounding goblins were only level 3—they simply couldn't break through his defenses, and with an ordinary starter dagger, he could one-shot them.
Therefore, with Cecilia as the arrowhead, the monster army was easily torn open with a long rift. Countless stone axes struck the silver-haired girl, making the scene seem shocking, but they only dealt pitiful sliver-damage, as if barely tickling her.

In just over a dozen seconds, the four had already broken into the center of the monster horde, and their health remained very healthy. The only one at half HP, Yuewu, was promptly brought back to full by a flustered Gu Yanxi's [Holy Healing].
Just when everyone felt victory was within reach, a soul-shaking roar suddenly sounded from afar, followed by the rumbling of the ground.
A massive black bear, standing some six or seven meters tall, finally noticed these four reckless humans. Its eyes glowed blood-red, and it let out a deep roar, then leaped from the right front of the group, crashing down with the weight of a mountain.
"That's an elite-class monster!"
Yuewu called out in warning. She raised her staff and fired an Ice Arrow, hitting the crescent-shaped white mark on the bear's chest, dealing 43 magic damage and applying a two-second slow.
Now that she was level 5, she had over 60 mana. An Ice Arrow could typically do over a hundred damage, but this bear's magic resistance was very high—her attack barely scratched it.
Earlier, it was this elite black bear that instantly killed several player teams with one skill.
"Just in time!"
Chen Zixuan showed no nerves. He immediately switched his weapon back to [Blood Moon Slayer's Dagger], leaped up, and jumped onto the bear's bent knee.
The silver-haired girl's dagger flashed with a speed too fast for the naked eye, slashing repeatedly and causing a string of blood-red damage numbers to float up.
-87!
-93!
-65!
-14
.......
With the passive of [Ravage] triggered from the dagger, the elite black bear's physical defense was instantly reduced by 20%, and this number continued dropping by 3 points per second.
Dawn's Light and Yuewu seized this chance and also started attacking, their regular hits suddenly outputting much more damage since Cecilia had shredded the bear's defenses.
Everyone knew—defense-reducing skills were god-tier in these kinds of games.
Watching the monster's health fall little by little, Chen Zixuan silently calculated the time in his heart.
If the intel was correct, this elite monster still had a massive area-of-effect attack—it could instantly kill every ordinary player in the vicinity. He absolutely could not let it go off!
Soon, the bear's HP dropped to below half.
Then its eyes flashed with crimson light, and with a sweep of its massive paw, it sent Chen Zixuan flying before tilting its head upward and opening its bloody maw. A terrible force started gathering.
It was coming!
An intense sense of danger surged in Chen Zixuan's heart.
Just as the black bear was about to unleash its skill, the silver-haired girl used [Shadow Assault] to teleport onto its shoulder, then stabbed a critical hit down onto its head.
-467!
+93!
[Blood Banquet] triggered! Chen Zixuan's HP, originally halved by the monster, rocketed up in a massive jump, instantly back to full.
Compared to the few dozen points dealt by Dawn's Light and Yuewu, this had to be at least 150 attack power's worth of damage output.
That one strike finally pushed the bear's HP to the edge, right into [Silverflash Pierce]'s execution threshold.
Booted feet in dark long boots stamped on the bear's head. The silver-haired girl was blasted away, but at the same time, a flash of silver light was hurled from her hand, piercing through the head of the giant creature.
A gray true damage number popped out, and the monster's house-sized body crashed to the ground.
-1920!
"Cecilia, just how much is your attack power now?"
Witnessing this, even though he had already seen it more than once, Dawn's Light was still filled with awe and shock inside.
He too wore an epic set, yet compared to Cecilia, his damage was the distance between heaven and earth.
Even knowing Cecilia was extraordinary—a player capable of soloing world bosses—anyone seeing numbers this high would be at a loss for words.
Even Dawn's Light, who had known Cecilia the longest, was shocked. Yuewu's astonishment was truly beyond words.
All along, Cecilia one-shotted anything she fought. Yuewu never really thought about her damage—it was just common knowledge that the infamous "human-shaped boss-rushing queen" could solo world bosses, so cutting down some low-level mobs was easy, right?
But now, seeing with her own eyes Cecilia land a skill that dealt almost 2000 damage—in a game that wasn't the kind where "one slash does 999"—this sense of shock was off the charts.
1920 points... of true damage...
Was this game run by your family or something?
