Chapter 578 - Hell Execution!!! (1/2)

Thinking for a bit, Nie Yan decided against summoning Lil’ Gold. His huge frame would make him a prime target.

With the quality of his current skills, Nie Yan could easilythe Barbarian Berserker to death. There was no need for help.

Nie Yan inched closer toward the Barbarian Berserker from behind.

The Barbarian Berserker was completely oblivious. The distance between the two was only about seven meters.

Nie Yan’s heartstrings were stretched taut. His lips curved into a weird grin. A few steps later, the Barbarian Berserker noticed something and turned around.

At this moment, Nie Yan targeted the Barbarian Berserker with Rank 9 Extreme Intimidate!

The Barbarian Berserker stiffened. It couldn’t move its body at all.

Flicker Strike!

Nie Yan disappeared from his original position and emerged behind the Barbarian Berserker, plunging Zennarde’s Sword into its back. After reaching Rank 10, Flicker Strike dealt more than 500% damage.

−12,839!

The Barbarian Berserker’s body trembled. Extreme Intimidate’s effects wore off. Just as it was about to turn around, Nie Yan circled to the side. Pushing off from his waist and focusing all power into his arm, he struck out with Backbreaker.

−14,376!

The Barbarian Berserker was incapacitated for six seconds!

This effect was quite impressive given the Barbarian Berserker was a Level 120 Elite.

Nie Yan faintly smiled. With all his skills ranked up, taking down this elite was a simple matter. After landing the first stun, he could CC the Barbarian Berserker to death.

However, Nie Yan was in no rush to kill the Barbarian Berserker. He activated Steal.

Steal successful! You have obtained 5 gold, 23 silver.

This was his first time stealing from a Level 120 Elite. The Barbarian Berserker was quite the moneybags. The amount of gold he obtained was several times that of ordinary monsters.

Nie Yan continued spamming Steal, stealing money three times in a row. So far, he had obtained 17 gold.

On the fourth attempt, Nie Yan finally obtained something different. It was a Sub Legendary-grade skill book.

Skill Book (Sub Legendary): Rage of the Berserker

Properties: Health +10%, Strength +200%, Magic Reduction +30%, Defense -30%. Duration: 60 seconds. Cooldown: 20 minutes.

Restrictions: Berserker

Rage of the Berserker was quite amazing. Most Warriors would go crazy over a 200% boost to Strength. If this skill book were put up for auction, it would sell for at least 50,000 gold, maybe even up to 90,000 gold if you were lucky.

“Giving this skill book to Smoke Stub isn't a bad idea. He just happens to be a Berserker,” Nie Yan muttered.

As the effects of Backbreaker wore off, Nie Yan struck the Barbarian Berserker with Smothering Strike.

It was stunned for an additional two seconds.

The Barbarian Berserker was locked down all this time. CC chains were quite frightening.

Starting with the six second cripple from Rank 11 Backbreaker, two second stun from Rank 8 Smothering Strike, three second stun from Rank 9 Concussive Blow, the brief interrupt from Rank 15 Kick, the two second immobilize from Rank 9 Lockdown, until finally the five second cripple from Rank 10 Counter. By the time Nie Yan cycled through everything, Backbreaker was back off cooldown. Like this, he could repeat the whole process again. It would only take a few cycles to kill the Barbarian Berserker.

Nie Yan activated Steal several more times. The Barbarian Berserker already had no more gold left to steal. Only the Rage of the Berserker skill book wasn’t half-bad. He obtained all sorts of different skills, none of which caught his eye. However, they were decent for ordinary players.

Just as Nie Yan was about to finish off the Barbarian Berserker, he activated Steal one last time. A notification popped up. He had stolen another item.

Nie Yan glanced inside his bag and found a yellow papyrus scroll sitting in the corner. He examined it.

Dreamworld Scroll (Legendary): Consumable

Description: Entrap a target in an illusion for 20 seconds regardless of level difference. Moving while activating this scroll will cancel the spell. Cast Time: 3 seconds.

Restrictions: 30 Energy

Nie Yan’s heart trembled. This scroll wasn’t that useful in ordinary circumstances. However, it was particularly effective against high level bosses. Anything could happen in 20 seconds. It could even help prevent a team from wiping.

Nie Yan had obtained another nice item. He spammed Steal a few more times for good measure, but it kept failing. The Barbarian Berserker no longer had anything to steal.

Seeing that he’d gotten all he could, Nie Yan exploded forth with frightening damage.
