Chapter 499 - Killing The Bosses (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Spider Prophet!” Lin Jie was astonished. He did not expect that the Spider Prophet had parasitized the Spider Overlord. The Spider Prophet’s Parasitic could allow it to randomly attach itself to any monster’s body, so of course, it would include the Spider Overlord.

Killing two Hidden Bosses at the same time, the number of loots obtained would definitely be huge. However, the precondition was that they had the ability to kill them! Controlling the Spider Overlord itself was difficult enough, and now with the Spider Prophet, it was completely beyond Lin Jie’s scope of control. Currently, that ball of sparkling Spider Energy was about to land on the top of Lin Jie’s head and explode.

“Tree of Life!”

At that moment, a pale purple Life Treant took roots and grew, instantly growing as tall as two people. The Tree of Life was an exclusive skill of recover-type Druids. The Tree of Life would heal all the players around it, it was an AOE healing skill. When the Tree of Life healed a single target, the healing amount would increase by an additional 60%.

+465!

+465!

After the Tree of Life healed Lin Jie twice, it exploded into shreds by the Spider Energy, since this type of continuous healing-type summoning creature’s health points would not exceed 100. The good thing was that the Tree of Life had provided Lin Jie more time to react. The Shield Specialist’s Intervene had also temporarily taken the damage from the Spider Overlord, while Lin Jie used Army Obliteration after Shield Cut to knock the Spider Prophet away.

Then he turned around and said to Breeze Wind, “Leader, change people! It is impossible to kill the Bosses with this team.”

Breeze Wind was stunned, then she asked, “Still all-DPS?”

“Yes!” Lin Jie nodded. Although this team was the jack of all trades, the distribution of roles was too varied. If they were from the elite team of Never Setting Sun, then they might still have a chance to win with such a team since the equipment attributes and their skillful execution needed not to be mention. Meanwhile, the strength of that group of people was mostly at a second-rate level. As long as the poison of the Spider Overlord was spilled onto them, they would basically be close to death.

It was mentioned at the beginning that Never Setting Sun had split into a few teams to explore separately so that they could finish exploring the Spider Den faster. Breeze Wind gritted her teeth and instantly started to inform those from other teams to come and change people.

“Breeze, are you really listening to that guy? A pure DPS team would not even be able to defeat normal monsters.”

“That is… It took me ages to reach Level 40, I don’t want to die once because of an outsider.”

“Breeze, what happened to you today? It doesn’t seem like your style.”

Breeze Wind stayed silent. It was rare for her to not fly into a rage. If it was the team she usually led, such situations wouldn’t even happen! However, now, this bunch of people were the second-rate members in the guild, which did not have teams, they were just temporarily gathered for Breeze Wind to command for a while. The execution ability couldn’t be compared to the fixed team she had led at all.

She was ashamed to tell Lin Jie, “I’m sorry, no one is willing to come.”

“Oh,” replied Lin Jie calmly as he knocked the Spider Prophet into the air once again. He knew that wanting a full DPS team was hard for people to accept. Even dealing with Normal Elites needed MTs to tank and Priests to heal people, so it was natural for them to suspect that it was just looking for death by facing the Hidden Boss with a pure DPS team.

However, although Lin Jie understood others’ concerns, he was still furious inside. He was not the only one present, but there were also others from Never Setting Sun. As players from the same guild, those groups of people did not even think of coming to help at all.

“Then, we will forcibly kill it!” Lin Jie emphasized the two words “forcibly kill” and said, “Shield Specialists, activate Intervene and Demoralizing Shout!”

The two Shield Specialists instantly did as they were ordered, and with a lift of their shield, they used Intervene beside Lin Jie. They did not hesitate to activate Shield Wall. Although the damage of the Spider Overlord was high, it was not enough to kill Shield Specialists that had activated Shield Wall. Immediately after, a Demoralizing Shout instantly pulled the aggro to himself! Lin Jie saw the situation and immediately attacked the Spider Overlord’s leg! He used Army Obliteration and attacked only one spot!

Similar to “normal bleeding”, when skills and attacks simultaneously hit the same spot and hit continuously, it might trigger an additional effect. The eight legs of the Spider Overlord were its strongest weapons. They were tougher than steel and extremely sharp. However, no matter how sharp they were, the spider leg was still flesh, so when it was sliced by the Dark Gold longsword, the skin was instantly cut open by a layer, revealing the disgusting green spider meat.

“Shield Cut!”

Lin Jie sliced again vigorously and at the same spot. The spider leg was actually chopped off by Lin Jie! The Spider Overlord, which had been injured gravely, wailed out in pain, and it spat out an immense number of spider threads towards Lin Jie, wanting to entangle him.

“Intervene!” shouted Lin Jie.

The other Shield Specialist was very obedient and immediately blocked in front of Lin Jie. However, he was trapped by the spiderweb, the Boss then directly threw him into its mouth and swallowed him!

A high damage value popped up -5,000! He was instakilled!

At the same time, the Spider Overlord’s health points also gradually recovered. Even the cut spider leg seemed to be growing back out.

The Spider Overlord’s Spiderweb Devour was able to use its spiderweb to trap the enemy. Once the enemy was trapped, then it would directly devour and instakill the enemy! However, the Spiderweb Devour was very easy to dodge since all instakill-type skills had certain limitations. For Spider Devour, the slow movement of spitting out the spiderweb provided a long reaction time for players.

“What is happening?” Breeze Wind realized something was amiss.

However, Lin Jie did not respond. He knocked the Spider Prophet away, then used Ice Spirit Slash to freeze it, and threw the Spider Prophet towards a Hunter for him to try his best to kite it. Afterward, Lin Jie continued to attack the Spider Overlord.

Lin Jie did the same thing again and successfully chopped off the Spider Overlord’s second leg. Immediately after, to replenish health and regenerate its leg, the Spider Overlord Boss used Spiderweb Devour again, and it was a repeat of what happened previously. The other Shield Specialist had been devoured to protect Lin Jie.

The lower abdomen of the Spider Overlord became bloated and heavy from its previous shriveled-up state, and its Defense also decreased a little. Lin Jie took advantage of it and chopped off the third spider leg.

Screech…

The Spider Overlord was infuriated, the spider thread it spat out simply covered the entire area. The spider thread was extremely tough, so unless it was Broken Blade, the spider thread could not be cut.

When Lin Jie was about to continue finding cannon fodder, he realized everyone avoided him and was far away. Lin Jie blinked and used Death Grip to grab a Fire Mage, who was dodging and directly threw him to the spiderweb. That Fire Mage was then swallowed by the Spider Overlord, satisfying it.
