Chapter 29
Although Lin Bei felt a little regretful, he did not care too much.
Soon, he dealt with all the contaminated miners in the stone room.
[Tainted-Blood Fanatic has absorbed tainted blood and its attributes have become stronger!]
From time to time, a System notification would ring in his ears, but Lin Bei ignored it. There was no other reason. In Second World, there was a setting that everyone knew clearly. The stronger the Boss, the better the loot!
For other players, perhaps the best strategy for this Boss was to leave the small monsters to focus fire on the Boss first. However, for Lin Bei currently, it was the complete opposite. What he wanted was the Boss’ drops. As for the Boss’ increase in attributes, he did not care at all.
His Discipline Spell dealt explosive damage, and it was fired twice a second. Even the strengthened Level 20 Domain-Lord tier Boss wouldn’t be able to withstand it!
-12,750 (Holy Light Damage Bonus)
A Discipline Spell landed on the Boss and thick black smoke rose.
Due to the fact that the Tainted-Blood Fanatic was a dark creature, the Discipline Spell dealt an additional 50% damage to him.
[Tainted-Blood Fanatic Blanca (Lv. 20, Domain-Lord tier) Health Points: 98%]
“It’s real flesh. Its Health Points should have exceeded 600,000, but it’s still a little lacking.”
Lin Bei glanced at the Boss’ health and immediately made a judgment.
As long as he attacked with all his might, he would be able to kill the Tainted-Blood Fanatic in half a minute at most.
Therefore, he did not have to worry about his damage output at all.
The only thing he had to pay attention to was to avoid the damage from the Boss.
After all, it was a level 20 Domain-Lord tier Boss, its damage was definitely not low.
Tainted Blood Fanatic Blanca leaped down from the altar. The black mist around its body dissipated, revealing its true appearance.
It was a deformed creature formed from countless piles of rotten flesh. It was more than three meters tall and had eight slender tentacles around its body. The ends of the tentacles were covered in black poisonous spikes that flickered with a cold light.
On its chest, there was a crack. Its mouth was full of sharp yellow teeth and green mucus kept flowing out.
“Ew... how disgusting.”
Lin Bei felt a little nauseous and immediately used the Discipline Spell.
Black smoke rose into the air, covering the ugly face of the Tainted-Blood Fanatic.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, the eight tentacles on the Tainted-Blood Fanatic’s body shot out and stabbed at Lin Bei from different directions!
“I’ll leap!”
Lin Bei remained calm in the face of danger. He leapt ten meters high and easily dodged the attack by the tentacles of the Tainted-Blood Fanatic.
Thanks to Green Collar’s Novice Leap Potion, his ability to leap had increased by 20 points. With his full strength, he could leap more than 20 meters.
However, he did not do so. Firstly, there was a limit to the height of the cave. If he leapt too high, he would be stuck in the air for a long time. This way, the gap would be larger and he would be easily pursued by the Boss. The gains would not make up for the losses.
Discipline Spell!
-33,150! (Critical hit!)
In mid-air, Lin Bei used the Discipline Spell again. Under the bonus of the Paralysis Ring, he directly dealt more than 30,000 damage points to the Boss!
At the same time, the Boss’ Health Points dropped to 50%.
“Blood...”
Suddenly, the Tainted-Blood Fanatic’s body glowed brightly. A mysterious power descended from the altar and landed on its body. Then, a suffocating aura suddenly rose.
[Affected by the mysterious power, the Tainted-Blood Fanatic has advanced!]
Rumble...
The three-meter-tall altar shattered with a bang. Countless gravel fell, raising a cloud of dust.
Swoosh!
A blood-red sword pierced through the flying dust and stabbed towards Lin Bei’s chest!
“Damn! So fast!”
Lin Bei’s expression changed. Although his brain reacted, his body could not keep up!
At the critical moment, Lin Bei quickly raised his hand and blocked in front of him with the Mithril Scepter.
Ding!
With a soft sound, a damage number appeared above Lin Bei’s head.
-2,000! (Block!)
Swoosh!
Lin Bei’s Health Points dropped by a large amount!
“So fierce?!”
Relying on the impact of the blood-colored sword, Lin Bei quickly retreated. In a hurry, he did a donkey roll and barely dodged the sword. He flipped over and left the stone room.
BOOM!
A blood-colored ball of light followed closely behind. Lin Bei turned around and cursed in his heart.
After the Boss advanced, whether it was its attack speed or attack strength, it was far from what he could contend with now. If he was hit by this blood-colored ball of light, he would definitely die!
One had to know that he had successfully blocked the other party’s sword and reduced its attack power by 90%. Even so, he still received 2,000 damage points!
In other words, the attack power of the Boss was definitely more than 20,000 points!
His maximum Health Points was less than 4,000 points. If he had not successfully blocked it, he would have died long ago!
At this moment, the blood-red ball of light behind him was obviously a skill of the Boss. It definitely had an attack bonus. If he was hit, it would be even worse!
“Damn, what’s with this BOSS? It’s fine if it advanced, but why is it so abnormal? A normal Domain-Lord tier Boss would not have such a ridiculous increase after advancing to Sector-Lord tier right? Could it be... this BOSS has advanced to the King-tier?!”
Boom!
-40,000!
A terrifying damage number floated up from Lin Bei’s body. Then, his vision turned black and he fell to the ground.
[You have been killed by Tainted-Blood Fanatic Blanca (Lv. 30, King-tier)!]
As expected!
Lin Bei’s heart sank as he was revived in Holy Light Village.
Normally, the highest level of monsters that appeared in the novice villages would not exceed Level 20!
But... the Tainted-Blood Fanatic had actually advanced to Level 30! And he had even become a King-tier Boss!
“Could it be because of my only Nightmare-level hidden mission?”
Lin Bei opened the mission panel and was suddenly stunned.
The difficulty of the hidden mission [Elena’s Request] had increased from the original Nightmare Level to Hell Level!
The difficulty had actually increased!
As expected, the Boss in the contaminated cave was related to this mission!
Lin Bei’s eyes darkened as he fell into deep thought.
In this case, if he wanted to complete the quest, he would definitely not be able to avoid the King-tier Boss!
Troublesome!
He was only Level 9 now. Although his equipment was luxurious and his damage was explosive, it was still too difficult for him to deal with a Level 30 King-tier Boss.
It was true that he had the Discipline Spell that could ignore defense, but the problem was that the damage of the Boss was ridiculously high. With his current small body, it would be fine if it was a basic attack. He could use blocking defense and hold on for a while. However, if he encountered the large AoE skill attack of the huge blood-colored ball from before, he would still die without a doubt!
“With my current attributes, it’s still too difficult to deal with a King-tier Boss.”
Lin Bei thought to himself, ‘I should level up to Level 10 first and change all my equipment into Platinum-grade equipment! If I really can’t... I’ll go to the Dueling Arena and get a few high-level Buffs for free!’
The Dueling Arena was independent of the nine servers in Second World. After reaching Level 10, all players could enter the Dueling Arena to fight and obtain points to increase the level of the duel.
Duels were divided into individual and team competitions. Lin Bei’s idea was to go to the arena to participate in the team competition and get the Buffs of other teammate players of high levels. This way, with all kinds of bonus Buffs, he would have a higher chance of when he returned to deal with the King-tier Boss.
After all, a King-tier Boss had at least a few million Health Points. It would not be easy to deal with.
Lin Bei left Holy Light Village and entered Gloomy Jungle. He had to level up to Level 10 first.
“Big Brother, our guys saw that Combat Priest. He has just left the Holy Light Village and is heading towards Gloomy Jungle.”
“How are your preparations going? Have you reached an agreement?”
“It’s settled. There are a total of 40 people in the two teams, and each of them has an account above Level 5. The combination of the professions is not bad either. After it’s done, each of them will ask for 10,000 dollars.”
“Alright, it’s settled then! Hurry up and do it! Remember to record it. I want him to suffer a crushing defeat this time!”
Flying Dragon in the Sky hung up the phone and a playful smile appeared on his face. “I don’t believe that two top ten teams in the CWL can’t deal with you!”
...
In the depths of Gloomy Jungle, Lin Bei was about to kill monsters when he suddenly raised his eyebrows. He glanced at the bushes in the distance and smiled.
Is he in such a hurry to die?
It seemed that the previous lesson was not enough.
However, since he was here, he might as well contribute to his experience.
Lin Bei smiled and left the battle. Under the Buff effect of the Stealth Potion, his figure disappeared and he entered the Stealth mode.
“Eh, where is he? Did he go offline?”
In the bushes, an Assassin poked his head out with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Whoosh!
At this moment, an arrow tore through the air and hit the Assassin’s heart, killing him instantly.
[You have killed Durian Milk (Lv.6)! You have received 168 experience points!]
A System notification sounded in his ear. The corners of Lin Bei’s mouth curled up. The figure that had just appeared vanished into the darkness again.
“Damn, isn’t this person a Priest? How did he learn an Assassin’s Stealth? And he even uses an Archer’s bow! Damn, why is it so magical?”
