Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Successful Recruitment

Translator: 549690339 |

Having recruited a Level 20 Elite Follower, Song Jian couldn’t already be more satisfied.

“Praise be to you, Goddess of Dawn, I swear, I’ll always follow devotedly behind your exclusive knight, never leaving or deserting!” The Dawn Warrior, who had just become Song Jian’s follower, seemed inspired and yelled loudly, swinging his sword and rushing towards the Bloody Baron.

“Well, young fellow has quite the spirit!” Song Jian revealed a smile. However, very quickly, a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.

“What did he say… Knight of Dawn, Goddess of Dawn’s exclusive knight, he will always follow… oh crap, I’m not a Knight of Dawn, nor do I worship the Goddess of Dawn. I just unintentionally learned a sword technique that potentially belongs to a Knight of Dawn…”

“Will he stab me with his sword if he finds out that I’m not a Knight of Dawn?”

“Mom, I’m scared!”

At this thought, Song Jian suddenly realized that this freshly recruited Dawn Warrior had become a hot potato. He should have known not to recruit him!

Roar-

The Bloody Baron swung his spear and pierced the chest of a Dawn Warrior, hoisting him into the air before ruthlessly throwing him to the side.

Splat-

The Dawn Warrior’s vitality points had instantly dropped to a precarious level, the glaringly red vitality point gauge only had a bit left.

“Oh crap, is he gonna die right after being recruited?” Song Jian was shocked, hastily casting a “Surgical Healing” on the Dawn Warrior who was thrown by the BOSS.

As it turned out, the one the BOSS had just attacked was the Dawn Warrior Song

Jian had just recruited.

After stuffing the Dawn Warrior, who was leaning against the rock wall, with a potion of beginner’s healing and several pieces of roast meat, and ordering him to rest, Song Jian drew his sword and rushed towards the Bloody Baron.

Broken Wing Dance!

Sword Silk!

Encircling the Bloody Baron in a flurry of sword slashes, Song Jian swiftly drew its attention, reducing the pressure on the remaining two Dawn Warriors.

Song Jian’s previous Sacred Parry technique had the BOSS feeling wary. It looked at Song Jian, its gaze full of caution. However, the spear in its hand still contained lethal force, constantly emitting a piercing whistling sound as it jabbed at Song Jian.

The BOSS’S damage was high, each strike causing fifty to sixty points of damage to Song Jian. When Song Jian’s vitality points fell to less than half, he had no choice but to use Tai Chi Sword Skill to fend off the BOSS’S attack.

The two Dawn Warriors behind him were also constantly attacking, with damage numbers steadily floating up above the BOSS’S head. Its vitality points were slowly declining, shortly falling below half.

In reality, among the group, Song Jian had the most powerful attack, next was only the young Black Dragon, the three Dawn Warriors’ attack power could only be ranked at the end.

Watching the two Dawn Warriors strenuously swinging their double-handed swords, Song Jian couldn’t help but complain: “Considering how low your damage is, you should have just taken up a shield as a tank. Aren’t you just bringing doom to us by insisting on using the double-handed sword in a retribution style!”

“Damned reptile, get lost!” The Bloody Baron suddenly brandished his spear, harshly smacking towards the Black Dragon whelp in mid-air.

It turned out while Song Jian was using the Tai Chi Sword Skill, the Black Dragon whelp jacked away the BOSS’S aggro.

The flying Black Dragon whelp didn’t expect the BOSS to suddenly attack it. In a moment of distraction, it was knocked down by the spear, hurling toward the rock wall nearby.

Boom-

The entire cave began to slightly tremble, the Black Dragon whelp fluttered its wings, straining to stand up from the ground, and let out a roar towards the Bloody Baron.

Whack-

The Black Dragon cub’s wing suddenly swatted a test tube on a cabinet, throwing it towards the rock face, where it shattered into pieces.

The Bloody Baron’s attack faltered as he glanced at the crushed test tube, his eyes reflecting distress akin to physical pain.

Visibly falling back under the relentless attack, Song Jian’s eyes lit up, “Hey, it seems like this BOSS really cares about its lab equipment… could it be…” With this thought, Song Jian immediately commanded his recuperating follower, “Go! Destroy the lab equipment around you as much as possible!” Although the Dawn Warrior had been receiving Song Jian’s vitality recovery buff, and been using basic healing potions and roasted meat, the time was short. He had only managed to recover less than a third of his vitality and could not engage in combat.

However, he was capable of causing some damage to the surroundings. The Dawn Warrior, – Ya stood up, swinging his longsword towards a nearby experimental cabinet.

Bang, bang, bang-

As the crashing sounds echoed, the Bloody Baron trembled. He wanted to rush towards the Dawn Warrior who was wreaking havoc but his hatred was firmly locked on Song Jian. He was constrained by the rules of the system and could only watch helplessly as his precious lab equipment was destroyed piece by piece.

“Roar, you all will pay!” The Bloody Baron’s anger flared, but half his attention was distracted by the destructive Dawn Warrior. He was too flustered to focus on the battle, releasing his skills haphazardly. Each move was either a miss or terribly off-target, greatly alleviating the pressure on Song Jian and his group.

When the Bloody Baron’s vitality dropped below 80%, he finally started unleashing his ultimate move, the Fatal Strike!

The BOSS swung his spear, as a surge of red energy converged at its tip. With a forceful thrust, he slammed it into the ground.

BOOM!

With a deafening explosion, five red beams burst forth from where the spear touched the ground, shooting towards Song Jian, the Black Dragon cub, and the three Dawn Warriors.

Swish-

The speed of the red light was incredibly fast. Before he could react, a red streak flashed before Song Jian’s eyes, and a cool sensation spread across his chest.

MISS

A faint blue text floated above his head.

The Black Dragon cub was also hit by a red beam, but a large ‘MISS’ also floated above its head.

Song Jian felt a shock in his heart and quickly turned his gaze to the follower who was in the process of destroying the lab. The follower had only managed to recover 34% of his vitality so far, he would undoubtedly be killed if hit by the fatal attack.

Luckily, ‘MISS’ also floated above his head.

Just then, one of the Dawn Warriors groaned, as though hit by a mallet, his body flew backward. Above his head appeared a damage number in the high hundreds, and his vitality plummeted to a little above thirty.

This move from the Bloody Baron could randomly damage one person in the field and was unaffected by hate value.

Seeing that the Dawn Warrior busy destroying his lab equipment hadn’t taken any damage, disappointment flashed in the eyes of the Bloody Baron. His attacks became more aggressive.

Song Jian’s vitality was dropping fast. Seeing that the BOSS had less than 20% of his vitality left, Song Jian gritted his teeth, and activated his Immortal Sword Body. A pale golden light immediately enveloped him, like a golden armor encasing his body.

“Die!” With a flick of his wrist, Song Jian thrust the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword at the Bloody Baron’s heart from an unexpected angle.
