Chapter 17: He Almost Got One-Shot
【Kobold Elite】(Leader)
【Level: LV9】
【HP: 12000】
【Attack: 300】
【Defense: 500】
【Skill 1 (Defensive Stance): Movement Speed decreases by 50%, Defense increases by 100%】
【Skill 2 (Fighting Spirit): After entering combat, Attack increases by 5 per second, up to a maximum of 300】
【Skill 3 (United Defense): For every Kobold Elite present, all Kobold Elites gain 50 Defense】
Twenty fully armed Kobolds stood in a single line, their shields raised to form an impregnable wall.
“The fact that you made it here proves you are not comparable to the trash outside.”
“But what stands before you now are the bravest warriors of the Golden Fang Clan.”
“Are you prepared to die?”
Golden Fang’s voice drifted over from the distance.
His voice could be heard, but his figure was nowhere to be seen.
“No matter where you came from, this is where your journey will end—”
Before he could finish, Lin Yuan cut him off impatiently.
“So, Golden Fang, you’ve been hiding armor and training a private army.”
“Are you planning a rebellion?”
“Today, I’ll wipe out you traitorous rebel.”
With a snap of his fingers, Ali moved at once.
Berserk Rush!
Ali charged straight toward the center of the Kobold Elites, the Refined Iron Sword in his hand gleaming with a cold light.
Draw Slash!
A streak of blade-light flashed like a startled swan, like a freezing gale sweeping through the air and chilling all who beheld it to the bone.
-44000 (Critical Hit)
-44000 (Critical Hit)
-44000 (Critical Hit)
After the strike, Ali sheathed his weapon.
Then a series of heavy thuds echoed out around him.
That was the sound of armored bodies crashing to the ground.
All twenty Kobold Elites failed to last even a single second.
Every last one of them was killed on the spot.
With 2800 Attack, plus Sword Mastery reducing Defense by 20%, even without critical hits, Ali could still have killed these lackeys in one blow.
【Killed Kobold Elite (LV9) *20, EXP increased by 1800】
At the sight of that, Sun Xu cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted,
“What kind of trash elite is that? They couldn’t survive a single slash from Brother Ali.”
“With this few, who are you trying to satisfy?”
“And you call yourselves the Golden Fang Clan? You think that deserves to be called a clan? Bah!”
After saying that, Sun Xu spat hard at the Kobold Elites lying on the ground.
The contempt on his face was plain to see.
Lin Yuan walked over and kicked the corpses twice. Nothing had dropped.
“Poor wretches. And you call yourselves elites? Trash.”
“I think you should stop calling yourselves the Golden Fang Clan and start calling yourselves the Pauper Clan.”
The drop rate in dungeons was low to begin with, but this was Nightmare difficulty.
For ordinary monsters not to drop even a single coin was simply disgraceful.
Perhaps Lin Yuan’s words truly had angered Golden Fang, because a raised platform slowly rose up from the center of the martial arena.
The final Boss, Golden Fang, sat upon it, his face full of fury.
【Kobold Chieftain Golden Fang】(Third Rank Elite)
【Level: LV12】
【HP: 150000】
【Attack: 2000】
【Defense: 1000】
【Skill 1 (Whirlwind Slash): Golden Fang picks up his weapon and deals 1500 physical damage to targets within 3 meters. Cooldown: 20 seconds】
【Skill 2 (Intimidating Roar): Golden Fang lets out a great roar, causing targets within 5 meters to enter a fear state for 8 seconds. Cooldown: 40 seconds】
【Skill 3 (Demon Transformation): When HP drops below 30%, Golden Fang activates the demon bloodline within his body, restoring his HP to full and increasing Attack by 1000】
【Skill 4 (Flame Claws): Golden Fang swings his demonic claws to deliver a devastating strike to the target, dealing 3000 magic damage. Cooldown: 15 seconds (Requires Demon Transformation to be activated)】
“Gulp!”
Sun Xu swallowed hard. “This Boss is absolutely monstrous!”
“150000 HP, 2000 Attack, and it even has a second phase.”
“A beginner dungeon actually has both a mechanics Boss and a phase-change Boss.”
“It’s like they never intended anyone to clear it.”
Aside from the first minor Boss, who had been a pushover, neither of the second or third was something to be taken lightly.
Silver Fang could not be killed unless his mechanic was triggered, while Golden Fang was even more outrageous and actually had a second phase.
Just imagine it.
A class-holder team works its way through the fight with great difficulty and finally knocks Golden Fang down below thirty percent HP.
Then, just like that, Golden Fang grandly enters his second phase and transforms into a demonic form.
Not only does his HP return to full, he also gains an additional magic-damage skill.
Below Level 10, equipment that increased magic resistance was exceedingly rare.
With 3000 points of magic damage, whoever it hit would die.
Even though Ali had 14000 HP, at most that only meant he could withstand five casts.
“Brother Lin, are you confident?” Sun Xu muttered quietly.
“Was that even worth asking?” Lin Yuan remained calm and composed. “Tonight, add two more dishes. We’ll have a drink.”
The raised platform stopped rising, but Golden Fang still sat there motionless.
He had just begun to open his mouth, clearly intending to say a few words of trash talk, when Ali moved without the slightest pause.
He opened with a face-first Berserk Rush, slamming Golden Fang into a stunned state.
Berserk Rush, then Draw Slash.
Ali understood that sequence far too well.
-83600 (Critical Hit)
-23600
-22800
-1918
-1921
The first damage number came from Draw Slash. The next two were from Double Strike. The last two were ordinary attacks.
In the span of a single second, Ali dealt a terrifying 130,000 points of damage to Golden Fang.
What a pity that Double Strike had not crit. Otherwise, Golden Fang would already have become a dead dog.
Golden Fang sat upon his throne and recovered from the stunned state.
He had not even had time to utter his planned words of disdain. He was furious.
He intended to teach these hateful humans a brutal lesson.
But when he glanced at his own HP bar, he was immediately frightened out of his wits.
“That’s impossible!”
“There’s nothing impossible about it.” Lin Yuan curled his lip. “Who told you to waste so much time talking nonsense?”
“Learn your lesson next time.”
“Oh, sorry. There won’t be a next time.”
Since Lin Yuan had not told him to stop, Ali did not stop. He kept attacking Golden Fang without pause.
“Enough!”
“You have truly enraged me!”
A ring of fire appeared around Golden Fang’s body and blasted Ali far away.
Demon Transformation activated.
The second phase had begun.
After transforming, Golden Fang tore the armor from his own body, revealing skin burned a dark, glowing red.
“What stands before you now is a demon from Purgatory!”
“I, Golden Fang, shall scorch your souls with flame.”
“You will die in agony!”
“Idiot.” Lin Yuan was thoroughly speechless. “A piece of trash that can’t even count as a lesser demon actually dares call itself a demon of Purgatory?”
“If that got out, you’d disgrace all of Purgatory.”
Golden Fang stood 1.7 meters tall, which counted as sturdy by Kobold standards.
But he hunched forward, his skin scorched black-red, and two little things about one centimeter long protruded from his forehead—things that could, if one were being generous, be called horns.
This was exactly what a Kobold would look like if it fell into a heap of red-hot coals.
“Bastard, come here!”
Lin Yuan crooked a finger at Golden Fang, provoking him to the utmost.
Golden Fang’s reason was instantly extinguished. With a furious roar, he charged straight at Lin Yuan.
“Flame Claws! Die!”
