Chapter 479 - Killing The Werebear King (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Every member of Savage Blade was clever, so it was obvious they could understand Lin Jie’s intention. Physical jobs instantly aimed their attacks at the Thunder Werebears while the others continued taking note of the Werebear King’s attacks and continued lowering its health. Until now, the Werebear King had not shown any other abilities besides its powerful normal attacks.
The three Thunder Werebears were killed from attacks being concentrated on them and were converted into Thunder Werebear’s Hearts again.
“Continue summoning?” asked Baili.
“Summon!” replied Lin Jie.
The Werebear King’s Thunder Werebear Summon was a trigger-type skill, it would summon the Thunder Werebears once every time its health points decreased by 20%. The attributes of the Thunder Werebears summoned would increase by 20% with each time, and the underlings summoned at the last stage would all be at the level of Mini-Bosses.
However, once someone activated Thunder-attribute Magic within a 60 yards radius, then the Boss would be able to steal the strength of others to form Thunder Werebears. The important thing was that there would not be any increase in attributes for the Thunder Werebears summoned using such a method.
Thunder Werebear’s Hearts were enhanced on Mixed Breathless one after the other, and his Thunder-attribute Defense increased rapidly; naturally, the damage dealt by the Boss decreased. After the battle continued for almost an hour, Mixed Breathless’ Thunder-attribute Defense value was already as high as 800 points, together with his original Defense, the Werebear King’s damage output was limited to below 500 points.
“Alright, it’s time to kill it,” said Lin Jie.
The Werebear King’s damage output was not enough to threaten Shield Specialists anymore. The firepower of the team increased with the addition of Lin Jie and the others—their damage output increased greatly, and the Werebear King Boss’ health points decreased rapidly.
The Boss, which had suddenly received a huge wave of attacks, stomped its foot, and a wave of lightning was spread. It was the Werebear King’s second skill, Thunder Shockwave. Instantly, everyone received 2,000 points of fixed damage and entered a 3-second Petrify! Meanwhile, the Boss raised its bear paw and attacked Mixed Breathless three times!
-472!
-425!
-500!
After awakening from being petrified, Bu Yi gasped in shock and hurriedly started healing Mixed Breathless. If it were not for the enhancement from the Thunder Werebear’s Heart, Mixed Breathless would have received 3,000+ damage and could have already been instkilled! Everyone shuddered at that thought, and they all increased their damage output, killing the Werebear King faster was the only right thing to do now!
“The Boss’ strength and drop-rate are proportional, I bet that this Boss will definitely drop a super-rare skill or equipment after it is killed.” Zheng Ziliang rubbed his palms in anticipation. “Looks like my lucky right hand is needed again.”
“Look at the situation now, you still have time to joke around? Don’t you see that we’re all— Uh, take as if I didn’t say anything.” Baili Changcheng, who was trying his best to attack, was planning to teach that playful Zheng Ziliang a lesson, but he realized that Zheng Ziliang was really extremely comfortable. Being a Contract Summoner was really relaxing, they just had to summon their Summoned Beasts to deal with the monsters. The Mechanical Gargoyle’s intelligence level was not low, and its damage output was actually almost as much as a Warrior’s.
The Werebear Boss was still trying its best to struggle, its thick and large paws gathered lightning onto its Wolverine-like claws. It was different from the Thunder Claws of normal Werebears because as long as the claws of the Werebear King hit a target, a bolt of lightning that would 100% cause paralysis would strike within a 20-yard radius. Its frequency was very high, so if one’s luck was slightly bad, then they might be paralyzed continuously.
To counter that, Lin Jie directly arranged for all the melee jobs to retreat since Savage Blade did not lack damage output. Also, Mixed Breathless was able to easily tank the Boss’ damage after obtaining Thunder Werebear’s Heart too.
When the Werebear King’s health points dropped dangerously low, all the lightning within the fortress suddenly became violent and gathered to form something like a tornado.
“Lightning Tornado has been triggered, we will leave the fortress. Breathless, you will stand at the entrance to attract aggro, don’t let the Boss leave the aggro range or else it’ll return to full health,” said Lin Jie.
The Werebear King’s ultimate skill, Lightning Tornado, was extremely powerful, it could even cause a “Map Kill” as it would deal damage and paralyze all enemies within the fortress. Once one got hit, then they would be continuously paralyzed unless they could take a whole set of damage from the Lightning Tornado. However, if there was no one who could pull the aggro within the fortress, then the Boss would return to full health.
Mixed Breathless stood at the fortress entrance to attract the Boss’ aggro while the others retreated the outside of the fortress. During such a moment, even healers could not heal Mixed Breathless, or else it might cause the Boss to have a change in aggro, it would be troublesome if it charged out.
Cackle—
Once everyone left the fortress, thunder could be heard, and lightning strikes could be seen inside the fortress, which Lin Jie had nicknamed “nuclear reactor”. The lightning struck randomly everywhere, and the sound of the sizzling lightning made shivers run down one’s back.
Lin Jie took out a Gold longsword from his backpack and threw it in. It was instantly attacked by countless bolts of lightning, then immediately after, it was pulled out using Death Grip. That Gold longsword was enveloped with a layer of lightning snakes.
“Throw your weapons inside to refine them. If your luck is good, then you might get a Lightning Strike effect, but if your luck is bad, then the weapon will be destroyed. However, such a method is unsuitable for equipment above Dark Gold,” explained Lin Jie as he looked at everyone’s doubtful expressions.
“Lightning Strike is able to enhance the weapon with a paralysis effect, it is counted as one of the best additional effects. The price of a weapon with additional Lightning Strike would be 10% higher than normal weapons, and it has quite the practical value,” said Dejected Night. He had also taken out a Gold staff and threw it in.
“Wait!” Lin Jie hurriedly shouted, but it was too late. The staff Dejected Night had thrown had directly been burnt by the lightning.
“Looks like only metallic equipment can be enhanced by lightning, those of other materials would not work,” said Dejected Night.
Lin Jie smiled bitterly. “You’re right, but you could have just asked me, why did you have to use a weapon to try it?”
“I’m used to it.” Dejected Night smiled embarrassingly and turned to look at the fortress. “I wonder how Brother Breathless is doing.”
Just as he finished, the Lightning Tornado gradually disappeared.
Mixed Breathless stood at his spot with his health bar all empty. The skin of his body had also been burnt by the lightning. The armor on his body was also flashing with lightning, and he looked miserable. Bu Yi hurriedly healed him, and everyone attacked the Werebear King together, killing the Werebear King, which had lost its ability to resist.
Roar—
‘The Werebears will return…”
