Chapter 618 - Luminous Dancer Class Advancement Ques (1/2)

“It’s like I’m surrounded by mountains of treasure, but I came hiking today in a swimsuit and flip flops...” Nie Yan sighed.

Rank 5 monsters such as Blazing Land Dragons and Elemental Giants inhabited this part of the forest. Nie Yan carefully avoided them as he explored more and more of the forest. After passing through a Rank 3 monster zone, he finally arrived in a zone with only Rank 1 monsters.

Nie Yan’s eyes locked onto a Dark Mammoth. It looked similar to an elephant, except it had dark fur and was noticeably larger. It had sharp, two-meter long tusks which curved forward like bull horns.

Nie Yan cautiously approached the Dark Mammoth from behind.

Transcendent Insight!

Dark Mammoth: Rank 1

Health: 32,000/32,000

“Let’s see if I can bring this Dark Mammoth down. If I can’t even beat a Rank 1 monster, I might as well pack my bags and go home...” Nie Yan muttered. “How do I get around its size, though? Skills like Backbreaker probably won’t work.”

Nie Yan pondered for a moment. “I suppose I can just keep dodging with Shadow Steps.”

The Dark Mammoth was grazing, plucking the various grasses growing on the forest floor with its trunk and stuffing them into its mouth.

Nie Yan took out his Cavalry Crossbow. Loading it up with bolts, he took aim and pulled the trigger. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Five bolts whizzed toward the Dark Mammoth.

Put! Put! Put!

…

A string of damage values floated up above the Dark Mammoth’s head.

“ARROOOOUUGH!” The Dark Mammoth let out a furious cry. It immediately locked onto Nie Yan and charged toward him. It barrelled forward like a heavy tank, the ground below quaking with every step.

The Dark Mammoth swung its long tusk at Nie Yan.

Nie Yan leaped out of the way, covering three to four meters in one bound and evading the charge. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he pivoted around and pounced forward with Zennarde’s Sword raised. A streak of light flashed out. Pssht! Blood sprayed sprayed into the air as a deep laceration opened up across the Dark Mammoth’s flank. Its tough hide offered little protection against the sharpness of his blade.

“AROUGH!” The Dark Mammoth swung out its trunk.

Nie Yan leaped back and dodged the attack.

The Dark Mammoth immediately went into pursuit. Nie Yan used all sorts of methods to dodge its attacks. The shock in his eyes grew deeper as the battle went on. He discovered his movements in combat were much less restricted, allowing him to execute skills however he pleased.

“Is this the feeling of a Shadow Dancer?” Nie Yan’s eyes gleamed with excitement. Even though he hadn’t class advanced yet, his combat style was already quite close to that of a Shadow Dancer.

The Dark Mammoth suddenly stomped forward.

Nie Yan evaded the charge with Shadow Steps and swung out his right elbow at the same time. BANG! His elbow struck the Dark Mammoth squarely in the temple. It staggered several steps back, its head swaying unsteadily—a visual indicator that it was stunned.
