Chapter 88 - 88: 088 Reward Settlement
Outside Tempest Woods.
Adrian of the Pighead Clan is about to smash down Dean McKenzie like a heavy mountain.
To be precise, he’s aiming at Dean McKenzie s side.
It’s not that his aim is off; he never intended to kill Dean McKenzie from the
start.
The Becky family needed Dean McKenzie to threaten the princess, so he had to stay alive.
Adrian landed two or three meters away from Dean McKenzie.
Even if he did land a few meters off, Adrian was confident that the impact alone could severely injure Dean McKenzie.
After all, he had seen Dean McKenzie’s defense; it was only about one or two thousand. He couldn’t resist it.
As for running away?
How?
Could Dean McKenzie, a Mage, dodge his, a Warrior’s, Charge?
As the thought just rose in Adrian’s mind, he saw Dean McKenzie, who was below his landing point, ‘whoosh’ into the skeleton with his Magic Wand Beast and disappear.
The speed of this action was even more astonishing than that of Adnan, a
Third-turn Warrior.
“Boom!”
As Adrian’s crushing mountain attack descends, Dean McKenzie is already maintaining a distance from, while throwing a Bone Fang attack at him.
Faced with this attack that made his scalp numb, Adrian couldn’t afford to analyze how Dean McKenzie, a Mage, managed to run at a speed exceeding 100
Agility.
With his shield pinned under his feet, he raised the single-handed axe in both hands to resist Dean McKenzie’s Bone Fang.
“Ding!”
Adrian’s single-edged axe easily blocked the Bone Fang attack.
However, even though he had blocked the Bone Fang, the sense of crisis that made Adrian’s scalp numb didn’t disappear.
“Phut!”
Almost at the same time, a dagger stabbed into his knee from behind.
It’s Doggy Two!
in fact, Dean McKenzie has never intended to let Doggy Two send a warning.
On one hand, there is no token to persuade the other party to believe him, and even if they did, Dean McKenzie couldn’t hold on until rescue troops arrived, so he chose to use Doggy Two as a surprise.
Like at this moment, Doggy Two exhausted all his Power of Shadow, and initiated a level 4 Backstab!
Backstab (Level 4) (Consumes 30 Spirit Power to launch an attack from the back, the result is 3 times the Attack Power!)
The damage inflicted by a level 4 Backstab is as high as 510, plus the effect of the unyielding skill and 807 Power of Shadow, the damage inflicted by this attack was even more terrifying than Dean McKenzie’s Bone Fang, and the damage nearly reached 2000.
The Pig Bone Dagger was thrust directly into Adrian’s knee.
The sudden intense pain made Adrian’s eyes crimson red and he tried to swing his single-handed axe unconsciously.
At the same time, on the canyon above his head, a once small Gate of Bone suddenly enlarged.
A figure leaped down, and Doggy Two popped out his head to activate the [King of Bones]!
[Your Wraith Servant, Doggy Two, utilizes the power of the Bone Throne to activate the King of Bones, and Adrian is in a confused state for 2 seconds!] Thanks to this state of confusion, Doggy Two had retreated from Adrian.
And at the moment when the two-second confusion was about to end, the maid pig, Chloe, who had jumped out of the Gate of Bone, launched her attack.
Second-turn Skill: Blood Burst!
Second-turn Skill: Shattered Attack!
A terrifying light radiated from the 60-level Bronze Wolf Tooth Club in Chloe’s hand. With her muscles bulging all over her body, she fiercely swung it down and smashed it against Adrian’s head.
For this attack, Chloe burnt her own life and activated her potential to perform a third-tier horrifying damage.
Chloe’s sacrifice was indeed worth the while.
With that hit, the armor on Adrian’s head directly shattered, and blood even gushed from his every orifice.
But Adrian’s head didn’t shatter completely.
As a third-turn Earth Warrior, his defense was even more formidable than Dean McKenzie had expected.
Having taken the hit, Adrian was surprisingly still alive. He quickly recovered amid the chaos, wielding his single-handed ax forcefully towards the pigmaid. Dean McKenzie immediately cast a Bone Shield to protect her.
The pigmaid simultaneously activated her skill.
Even so, she was sent flying by Adrian’s ax, crashing into the wall of the canyon. Her fate was unknown.
Just as Adrian got up and prepared to pursue, a Bone Prison shot up and trapped him within.
Adrian, who was prepared to stand, was pushed back by the Bone Prison.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie’s face beamed with delight.
A level 2 Bone Prison has four times the energy of Spirit; nearly eight hundred energy could be considered strong, but it certainly couldn’t restrain a third-turn powerhouse.
If Adrian could be restrained, he would undoubtedly have been seriously injured.
Dean McKenzie seized the opportunity and launched a Bone Fang at the back of his head.
“Ding!”
The Bone Fang capable of over a thousand damage was actually deflected by the back of Adrian’s head. It was because Adrian seemed to have activated a skill at that moment, bathing in a yellow glow from head to toe.
The glow was extremely defensive, it even deflected the Bone Fang. More concerning was that Dean McKenzie saw Adrian’s wounds quickly healing.
“Is he drawing energy from the earth?”
Dean McKenzie, sensing something wrong while using Meditation, quickly spoke to the weakened pigmaid: “Don’t let him touch the ground!” With a raised eyebrow, and a gleam in his eyes, Dean McKenzie reopened the Gate of Bone; this time, he placed it over the water in the Land of Bone.
The Gate of Bone opened to its maximum capacity, with water from the Land of Bone rushing down and completely engulfing Adrian.
Adrian’s skill needed the earth to activate, but when the energy of the surrounding water surpassed that of the earth, Adrian’s skill became instantly useless.
The yellow glow on his body shattered in an instant.
The instant the yellow light shattered, Adrian’s eyes glowed blood red.
By now, he had realized that he was essentially screwed. He activated the Charge, using the last bit of his Spirit Power, in an attempt to take Dean McKenzie with him.
But even after he activated his Charge, rushing towards Dean McKenzie despite his injured body, he found Dean McKenzie moving faster than him.
On one hand, his leg was crippled; on the other, Dean McKenzie’s Slow Curse was upon him.
More importantly, Dean McKenzie, in order to make a breakthrough half a month ago, used his Grant Quota, investing it in his Agility.
His Agility attribute was painstakingly elevated to Excellent.
And his Agility reached 145-9. Although it wasn’t as effective due to the absence of the Nightmare Spirit, it was already terrifying. Furthermore, the Excellent attribute truly added another Trait.
‘Swift as Wind’ (D-Level) passively increases speed by 50%.
Dean McKenzie’s speed, at 145-9, showed an actual effect of 218.85.
With this speed, he was not just faster than a rabbit, but he could also outrun turtles.
Adrian’s Charge was unsuccessful, and after he was out of strength, Dean McKenzie’s Bone Fang shot at him, piercing through his eye socket and instantly exploding his head.
[YOU have successfully killed ‘Adrian Becky’ (third-turn) (Excellent) (level 65)!] Poor Adrian, a third-turn powerhouse, fell to his demise due to his underestimation of Dean McKenzie and the pigmaid’s joint attack.
More precisely, the MVP of the battle was the pigmaid who only made a single attack, but Dean McKenzie took the credit for the kill!
Once Adrian was killed, Dean McKenzie quickly collected his body. At the same time, he ordered Doggy Two and the others to assist the pigmaid and quickly make their way to Tempest Woods.
As long as they entered Tempest Woods, Dean McKenzie’s mission would be considered complete.
With Adrian being killed, Dean McKenzie’s path was clear, and within a few steps, he entered Tempest Woods.
The moment Dean McKenzie set foot in Tempest Woods, the system prompt immediately updated.
[You have completed this instance challenge, and your instance reward calculation begins!]
