Chapter 33: Boss Fell. Dungeon Activated.
No matter how he looked at it, the damage was still not enough. If he could not defeat this boss now, he would not be able to do anything in two days. Although his level would increase very quickly, his short-term damage output would not be able to change qualitatively.
Even if he obtained the Fanatic skill book next, it would only double his attack speed for six seconds. It would not be of much use to fight against this boss.
As for his equipment, he would not be able to increase it by much. He was still lacking two accessories. Even if he managed to obtain all of them, he would only be able to increase his attack power by around 200. Still, it would not be enough.
He would not be able to level up much. However, other players would be able to increase their attack speed quickly. If he did not defeat this boss now, it might be defeated by someone else after two days.
He had to think of a way to get rid of the 300,000 HP of the boss first.
Hmm? There seemed to be a way which he could try.
Even if the attack range of the Hunter class was not the farthest, it was definitely a bit farther than the distance of the Mage class.
As the boss would not go down the altar, so could he lure it to the edge of the altar and hit it twice? If the boss could not hit him, it should return to its original position.
If he continued to lure it out, with a few attacks each time, as long as the aggro was still there, the boss’s HP should be able to slowly wear down a little.
“Everyone, can I lure the boss to the edge of the altar? If it can’t hit me, can I hit it?”
“You’re dreaming. If the boss can’t hit you, won’t it go back? Are you thinking of blocking it at the edge and kill it?”
“It doesn’t matter if the boss goes back, just continue to lure it out. Just hit it back and forth a few times, and it will slowly decrease its HP by a little, right?”
“Theoretically, it’s possible, but how long do you want to fight it? Luring it back once doesn’t necessarily mean you can hit it twice. If you don’t control it well, you might even die.”
“It should be fine if I’m careful. I’ll go and try.”
“Try your ass. I’m just afraid that you won’t be able to hit faster than the boss recovers its HP.”
Of course, Zhang Shan knew that the boss would recover HP, but in the beginning, it shouldn’t be very fast. He only needed to drop 30% of its HP, that would be enough.
Let’s give it a try first.
Zhang Shan ran up to the altar. However, before he could attack the boss, he saw the boss look at him. He quickly ran away.
After he ran out of the altar’s range, the boss stopped chasing him. Zhang Shan seized the time to attack twice, and the target exceeded the attack range.
This time, it was Zhang Shan’s turn to chase after the boss. As long as the boss turned back, he would also turn back and run. This way, he could pull back and forth, dealing a little damage at a time.
Sometimes, pulling the boss back and forth could deal three to four hits of damage, which could reduce the boss’s HP by a few thousand. However, most of the time, he could only deal one or two hits of damage and it would not be enough.
Moreover, the boss would also recover its HP. Each pulling back and forth, the boss could recover two to three thousand HP.
In other words, for each pulling back and forth, Zhang Shan would have to attack it at least twice before he could achieve the effect of wearing down the boss’s HP. Otherwise, the damage that he could deal with would not be as much as the boss recovered.
Every two to three minutes, he would pull the boss once. If it went well, he could take 3,000 to 4,000 HP. If it did not go well, the boss would recover 2,000 to 3,000 HP.
But overall, it was still effective.
“Brother Six Guan, you can’t do this. You won’t be able to take down a few thousand HP in 10 minutes. Moreover, when the boss has less HP, the HP recovery speed will be faster. When that happens, the amount of damage you deal won’t be able to catch up with the boss’s HP recovery speed.”
“It’s fine. As long as I hit 700,000 HP, I’ll use the Silence Scroll. Before this, the boss’s HP recovery speed shouldn’t be much faster. There’s still a chance.”
“You’re really persistent. You’ll probably have to fight until dawn for 300,000 HP.”
“I don’t care anymore. Let’s not talk about fighting until dawn. Even if we fight until dusk tomorrow, I’ll still have to defeat it. This is a red boss. There’s a 100% chance that it will drop red equipment. Moreover, it’s the first kill.”
“What a ruthless person.”
As long as there was an opportunity, Zhang Shan would not let it go. At least, from the looks of it, it was still possible to do so.
This way, he dragged the boss back and forth for more than an hour. The boss’s HP dropped only slightly over 30,000. If he wanted to take down the boss’s 300,000 HP, would it probably take 10 hours? That was a little too much.
The main reason was that Zhang Shan had failed many times to maintain stability. He did not manage to attack the boss at all. In the end, after running back and forth, the boss had recovered a few thousand of its HP.
However, practice made perfect.
Zhang Shan had been pulling the BOSS back and forth. He was getting more and more familiar with it. Now, he could basically deal damage every time. He could completely suppress the recovery speed of the boss. When he was doing well, he could deal an additional 3,000 to 4,000 HP each time.
“Brother Six Guan is really tough. Take your time. I’m going to sleep.”
Gradually, the rest of the team went offline to rest. Only Zhang Shan was still fighting the boss.
At around three o’clock in the morning, the boss had lost over 100,000 HP. At five o’clock in the morning, the boss finally had 700,000 HP left.
To be on the safe side, he continued to pull. When it was almost seven o’clock in the morning, some of the team members had already woken up.
When the boss’s HP was close to 600,000, Zhang Shan felt that the damage he dealt could no longer suppress the recovery speed of the boss.
After the last pull, when the boss once again ran back to the middle of the altar, Zhang Shan quickly chased after it.
The boss turned around and waved its scepter, ready to cast a skill. Zhang Shan immediately used the Silence Scroll on it, and at the same time, he summoned the baby panda to attack the boss.
After the boss was silenced, the scepter in its hand continued to swing, but it could not cast a single skill.
Even though he was silenced, the boss did not use his scepter to hit Zhang Shan’s baby panda. Instead, he continued to wave his scepter as if he was casting spells and skills.
“Haha, after being silenced, the boss is like a fool. He can’t even attack once. He also can’t use his scepter to hit.”
“This is normal. Mages are all the same. They only use their scepters to hit when they don’t have magic. When they do, they can’t hit. They can only cast spells to attack. Although the boss was silenced, his magic did not decrease at all. Hence, he could only keep casting spells.”
Storm of the World went online very early today. He explained to Zhang Shan on the team channel.
Zhang Shan’s DPS dropped like exploding. Damage after damage kept appearing above the boss’s head.
Each time, it was more than 1,600. Occasionally, it would even have the effect of Holy Strike. The damage of 18,000 was simply terrifying.
In less than a minute, the boss’s HP had dropped to over 400,000. In the remaining four minutes, it would definitely explode.
“Haha, this is the best way to fight a boss. This is life!” Zhang Shan shouted proudly.
After going back and forth for an entire night, he did not even sleep. Finally, it was time for him to reap the rewards.
“A villain gets what he wants.”
...
“Hehe, you’re just jealous.”
“Don’t fail miserably.”
“I won’t. Watch me explode and deal damage.”
After another two minutes, when the boss’s HP dropped to 200,000, it went berserk. He waved the scepter in its hand even faster, but it was useless. It could not even cast a single skill.
On the contrary, after going berserk, the boss became even weaker. The damage that Zhang Shan dealt became even higher. Each time, the damage was close to 2,000.
When the boss’s HP was depleted, Zhang Shan stopped attacking and controlled the baby panda to cast the Combo skill.
A seven Combo instantly killed it.
The boss finally fell. Several streams of light of various colors fell into Zhang Shan’s backpack. At the same time, the system announcement sounded.
System announcement: Congratulations to player Six Guan Bodhisattva for successfully killing the demon tribe priest. The rewards are skill points +1, merit points +100.
System announcement: As a player had successfully killed a red boss, the New World Dungeon System has been activated. Players can now enter the dungeon through the Military Affairs Officer.
