Chapter 384 - Corpse Eater (1/2)

Chapter 384 - Corpse Eater

Furiously roaring, the Blackett Grizzly swiped away with its massive paws. A Fighter was sent flying with every sweep, only to be immediately replaced by those waiting on standby in the back.

A few Thieves were also active on the battlefield. They were in charge of picking up the equipment of their fallen comrades. Every now and then they would circle round the Blackett Grizzly and attack it with skills that inflicted continuous bleed damage before immediately backing off.

Nie Yan didn’t dare to join in since his high damage would lead to the Blackett Grizzly shifting aggro. He suddenly recalled seeing Threat Null in Sunny South’s skill list.

Threat Null was a Holy Mage spell that nullified all aggro generated by a targeted ally for a set period of time, allowing them to dish out damage to their heart’s content.

Sunny South had learned Threat Null from the Magic Tower. It was a fairly useful spell in boss fights.

“Sunny South, cast Threat Null on me!” Nie Yan ordered before circling behind the Blackett Grizzly.

Sunny South raised his staff as a ray of light shrouded Nie Yan in a faint radiance.

Nie Yan checked his status bar.

Threat Null: Your attacks and skills generate no aggro. Duration: 30 seconds.

It was more than enough time!

Backstab!

Nie Yan plunged Zennarde’s Sword into the Blackett Grizzly’s back. After which he ruthlessly slashed down as blood sprayed out of the gaping wound.

Eviscerate!

Assassinate!

Blast!

Nie Yan exploded out with an onslaught of high damage skills, inflicting the Blackett Grizzly with a myriad of debuffs such as bleed, burn, and poison. On top of this, his attacks also dealt additional piercing and chaos damage.

The Blackett Grizzly's thick, steel-like hide was no match for the sharp blade of Zennarde’s Sword.

−1525, −425, −356

−1473, −396, −381

−1429, −372, −320….

A string of damage values floated up above the Blackett Grizzly’s head.

The 30 seconds of zero aggro generation from Threat Null was extremely precious. Nie Yan wanted to make every second count!

Even though Nie Yan was doing far more damage than the players around him, the Blackett Grizzly couldn’t be bothered to spare him so much as a glance.

Nie Yan looked at his damage stats and saw he had dealt over 32,000 damage in total! He immediately retreated once the 30 seconds were over, not daring to linger a second longer.

No one else in the group had an aggro removal skill. Nie Yan would have to wait 20 minutes for Threat Null to come back off cooldown.

At the back, Yao Yao gazed at the battle with a thoughtful look on her face. This sort of aggro removal skill appeared to be useful to Nie Yan. Learning Threat Null would only take up one skill slot, and the 1,000 gold fee was pocket change in her eyes.

The Corpse Eater skill of the Blackett Grizzly was frightening. It would immediately heal back to full health if there were more than five corpses nearby, making all their efforts go to waste.

The Blacket Grizzly barreled forward, sending Fighters flying. Corpses were strewn about the battlefield.

Every time the Blackett Grizzly tried to break out of the encirclement, one or two Fighters would rush forward into certain death to obstruct its charge.

These sacrifices were necessary. If Bladelight, Lofty Shadow, or Yi Yan died, the situation would turn grave fast.

The Mages never stopped bombarding the Blackett Grizzly, and the Priests never stopped providing support.

Time ticked away. After roughly 20 minutes, the Blackett Grizzly’s health fell under 50%. At this moment it let out a deep roar that shook the entire plaza.

“Priests, purify the corpses on the ground! Quick!” Nie Yan hoarsely ordered. He barely gave them any time at all!

There were at least 10 corpses within range of the Blackett Grizzly.
