Chapter 339: Where Is The BOSS’ Breakthrough

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

In <<REBIRTH, beast type BOSS were mostly power type. A BOSS like that had an extremely good judgement when attacking. Under the suppression of level 25 players, even a crowd control skill like the [Dark Barrier] wouldn’t have any effect on it.

The Sunset Light Holy Beetle was a BOSS with high attributes on its attack, health and judgement. To be honest, even Wang Yu had no effective means to deal with a BOSS like the Sunset Light Holy Beetle.

After killing three people, the Sunset Light Holy Beetle lay on the ground once more. Wang Yu received Fearless’ instruction as he took out the Fire Dragon’s Pistol and fired a shot at the Sunset Light Holy Beetle’s body.

To draw its aggro, Wang Yu used a blazing ammunition. Besides the suppression of the fire dragon, it brought along the dragon’s flaming damage. In addition to the explosive effect, this attack caused an over 5000 damage.

The Sunset Light Holy Beetle’s aggro system was instantly drawn to Wang Yu.

"Buzz..."

The Sunset Light Holy Beetle let out a cry as it buried its head in a mechanised way. Following which, he started charging towards Wang Yu.

If Wang Yu was able to rescue seven people under attack earlier on, avoiding this straightforward attack was naturally not a problem. Wang Yu swung the pole in his hand as he dodged the Sunset Light Holy Beetle’s attack. In the next instant, Wang Yu landed right behind it.

Being a monster created by the system, the Sunset Light Holy Beetle would have a long period of skill rigidity and time needed to turn around after completing its initial attack.

By making accurate use of this timing, Wang Yu executed his [Crushing Blow] a few times without wasting a second.

...

After noticing the series of damages which appeared on top of the Sunset Light Holy Beetle’s body, everyone else started attacking too.

The Sunset Light Holy Beetle took a total of three seconds just to turn around... In that three seconds, the crowd of players managed to take away about 30,000 worth of its health. In fact, Wang Yu himself took away about half of the 30,000. Because of this, the beetle’s aggro system was locked onto Wang Yu.

"Buzz!!"

The Sunset Light Holy Beetle let out another low cry as it disappeared from sight again.

Everyone started retreating hurriedly. With the lesson learnt earlier, everyone grew smarter. At this moment, no one was standing within five metres of Wang Yu.

Wang Yu was aware that the BOSS’ aggro system was on him. Therefore, after the Sunset Light Holy Beetle dug into the ground, Wang Yu instantly changed his weapon to a long pole. After that, he started observing the ground seriously.

"Boom..."

Seconds later, the ground started trembling and an explosion could be heard. The Sunset Light Holy Beetle appeared from beneath Wang Yu as it opened its mouth in an attempt to swallow Wang Yu.

"Haha!"

Wang Yu knew that the Sunset Light Holy Beetle would open its mouth to swallow him. Wang Yu smiled as he jumped up and adjusted his long pole. Like a wooden bridge, Wang Yu placed the long pole in between the Sunset Light Holy Beetle’s mouth.

Even though Wang Yu avoided being in the Sunset Light Holy Beetle’s stomach, the tremendous strength of the Sunset Light Holy Beetle was enough to throw Wang Yu off.

Wang Yu, who was in mid-air, didn’t panic as he re-adjusted his body before executing [Eagle’s Stomp]...Who knew that Wang Yu would fly all the way above a pond? As he didn’t notice what was beneath him, Wang Yu fell into the pond.

"Oh..."

Everyone, who was retreating, watched the battle between Wang Yu and the Sunset Light Holy Beetle. Looking at this scene, Fearless was the happiest. He noticed that the Sunset Light Holy Beetle didn’t dare to go near the pond.

Fearless shouted in a pleasantly surprised tone, "Everyone, get into the water now!"

Following his order, everyone started running towards the pond.

At this moment, the Sunset Light Holy Beetle’s skills rigidity had ended. It hid its head into the ground once again. Looking at this, everyone including Fearless jumped right into the pond immediately.

After everyone entered the pond, the Sunset Light Holy Beetle looked like it no longer had a target. It simply lay down there motionlessly.

How could everyone let go of such an opportunity? Under Fearless’ command, everyone darted out of the pond to surround and attack the Sunset Light Holy Beetle. Once the Sunset Light Holy Beetle looked like it was going to execute its skills again, everyone went back into the water. The Sunset Light Holy Beetle was stunned again.

Actually, a BOSS like the Sunset Light Holy Beetle was very difficult to deal with.

[Heroic Smash] was still rather easy to avoid. However, [Ground Ambush] and [Earth-splitting Bang] were extremely shameless moves. The speed of execution was indeed slightly slow but both attacks were skills that could kill someone in less than a second. Moreover, these skills were almost impossible to dodge once they were executed.

Unless someone had the dexterity like Wang Yu, it would be almost impossible to dodge attacks from the Sunset Light Holy Beetle. If it were any other group who didn’t find out about this pond BUG, the whole team would have been wiped out in less than ten rounds of attacks.

Now that they didn’t have to face the threats of [Ground Ambush] and [Earth-splitting Bang], the Quan Zhen Sect’s squad was having a rather easy fight.

If the enemy comes forward, I retreat. If the enemy stops moving, I disturb. If the enemy turns weary, I attack. If the enemy retreats, I chase.

Under Fearless’ commands, every time the Sunset Light Holy Beetle’s skills were cooling down or when its skills turned rigid, a group of people would go forward to attack. Every round of attacks was able to take away tens of thousands of HP from the BOSS.

Because of the extremely high health the Sunset Light Holy Beetle had, they took over 20 minutes to torture the Sunset Light Holy Beetle. Finally, the health dropped below 30%.

"Buzz..."

After being stepped on for so long, even the oppressed would become the oppressor. It flew backwards and red light sprinkled on top of it. The outer shell of the Sunset Light Holy Beetle was dressed in red light.

Looking at the situation, everyone started clicking on the Sunset Light Holy Beetle to check on its attributes again.

However, all they saw was an additional state.

Sunset Protective Shell: makes use of the power of sunset light to create a protective shell immune to all damages.

"Buzz..."

The Sunset Light Holy Beetle flapped its wings as it flew towards the pond. It hovered above the pond in a provocative manner before landing just outside the pond.

Fearless frowned as he commanded, "The long-ranged attackers, try attacking it."

Little One drew his arrows and Ming Du wielded his staff. One lightning bolt and one arrow landed on the Sunset Light Holy Beetle’s body. Indeed, nothing happened at all...

"Tsk! Yet another BOSS with an invincible ring of light!" Fearless shouted angrily.

<<REBIRTH had two ways of improving a BOSS. One way was a BOSS that could change form and the other one was a BOSS which could come with an extra state.

A BOSS, which could change form, was more commonly seen. After being left with less than 30% of its health, they would change form. It was normally a desperate struggle and even though they would be hard to deal with, it wasn’t a huge problem. As long as the team continued to work together well, they would still be able to finish the task.

However, a BOSS which brought along an extra state would usually be a headache. A BOSS like this would usually have a very shameless state. If the gamers couldn’t find the breakthrough, it was highly possible to be counter-attacked. Therefore, fighting such a BOSS shouldn’t depend on strength. Teams should rely on using their brains which could be frustrating at times.

Of course, such a BOSS wasn’t made to be totally invincible. As long as they paid close attention, they would be able to find the breakthrough.

According to the Quan Zhen Sect’s past experience of fighting BOSS, Fearless came up with a conclusion. A BOSS’ invincible state was like a poison with its antidote within a hundred steps. The breakthrough must definitely be within the same scene.
