Chapter 8: Boss ‘Berserk’, First Clearing Point
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
If it was a level 5 black-iron boss, most players would not have any good equipment. Most of their defense and attack would not have been high enough making it hard to defeat the boss.
Li Yi was already wearing the level 5 (simple) soft hedgehog armor. His defense had already reached 31. What was even more terrifying was his HP and recovery speed. At this moment, his HP had already reached 3,834 and he was recovering 30 HP every second!
It would be hilarious if he still could not defeat a level 5 black-iron boss swiftly.
“-171.”
The moment Li Yi stepped out of the door, the boss’s blade had already landed on his body. Even with the soft hedgehog armor, the boss could still cause such damage. The damage of this boss was still very high.
The other players would only be able to take one hit before they would die. If they wanted to use a group of players to kill this boss, there was no need to even think about it if there were less than 100 players combined.
Li Yi moved and made a beautiful zigzag movement around the boss. He instantly dodged the boss’s continuous attacks and slashed at the back of the boss’s neck.
“Heavy Strike!”
“-61! Weak Point Damage!”
The boss was in pain and wanted to turn around and attack. Li Yi took this opportunity to continuously attack the boss from the shoulder.
“-21.”
“-25.”
The boss’s defense was indeed very high. It had a defense that was several times higher than that of a normal bandit. The Heavy Strike combined with the weak point damage only dealt so little. As for the normal attack, it was even more pitiful.
“You’re courting death!”
The boss was enraged after being hit by the Heavy Strike. It turned around and slashed with its sword in an awe-inspiring manner.
However, the attack still missed. Li Yi’s zigzag movement seemed to be very easy to deal with a boss that did not have the ability to attack in a large area in the early stages.
Li Yi took advantage of the moment when he turned around and saw the opportunity. His greatsword moved like a poisonous snake and locked onto the position of the boss’s eyes.
“Puchi!”
“-201! Defense Broken, Weak Point Damage!”
The boss’s blood splattered out. At this moment, he had received a great deal of damage. This game was very close to reality in terms of details. If his eyes were attacked, the boss’s vision would also be damaged.
At this moment, Li Yi took a sliding step and immediately moved to the right side. He struck the back of the boss’s neck with Heavy Strike.
“-68! Weak Point Damage!”
The boss’s HP and attack power were high, and its movements were not considered fast either. After a series of attacks, it was almost time to announce the death of this black-iron boss. With his current speed, positioning skills, and the support of his HP, it was relatively easy to deal with him.
…
Very soon, the boss HP had already fallen to 10%.
Li Yi immediately took a few steps back and avoided the boss’s attack range. Logically speaking, when the boss HP reached 10%, there should be a trump card that he would use!
As expected.
“Ah!!”
The boss gave up on chasing and stood on the spot instead, and he let out an angry roar. The body of the boss emitted a faint blood-red aura, it wrapped around the entire body of the boss.
“Berserk?”
Li Yi was quite familiar with this move. This was a move that many bosses would use in the early stages. The effect was to double one’s own attack power, movement speed, attack speed, and skill attack power within a short period of time.
However, the boss’s defense would also be greatly reduced. Its duration was around three minutes. Once the skill ended, it would enter a weakened state and be at the mercy of the players.
Under normal circumstances, players would try their best to avoid the boss until the skill duration ended. Then, they would launch an attack. Otherwise, they might be instantly killed by the boss.
Li Yi was unable to delay the boss because there was only one person fighting now. There was no one else to support and delay the boss’s movements. At this moment, the boss’s eyes were bloodshot. It rushed over with large strides. Its speed was extremely fast. Li Yi’s current movement speed was no longer able to suppress the boss. He was slashed on the left shoulder.
“-375.”
Li Yi’s HP was directly reduced by 10% by this attack. However, it was time for him to use a new skill. Li Yi opened his mouth and let out an angry roar.
“Raging Blood Roar!”
Li Yi’s HP was suddenly reduced by 10%. Following that, a large amount of blood rushed around in his body and he charged towards the boss, which caused a large amount of damage to the boss. Moreover, the boss got stunned for a second.
“-383.”
Li Yi took advantage of the situation when the boss was stunned and swung his greatsword towards the boss.
“Heavy Strike!”
“-261! Weak Point Damage!”
“-94! Weak Point Damage!”
The defense of this boss was greatly reduced when it used Berserk. Its damage was definitely much higher than before.
“-97! Weak Point Damage!”
“-387.”
When the boss activated Berserk, it only had time to launch one counterattack and then get defeated. Its HP bar had completely lost all signs of life. It dropped over a dozen silver coins and a white stone!
[Item: Strange Stone (mission item)]
[Effect: Unknown!]
“This should be the mission item. Let’s go back and show it to the Village Chief!”
Just as he was about to leave the place, the system immediately sent out a few notifications.
[System Notification: Congratulations on completing the mission and being the first to kill the black-iron boss, Wilke. The reward for the first kill is 10,000 EXP, 1 gold coin, and 1 piece of quality flawless equipment.]
[System Notification: You are the brave one! You are the first player in the village to kill a black-iron boss. There will be a server announcement soon. Do you wish to hide your name?]
After being rewarded 10,000 experience points, Li Yi immediately leveled up to level 4 with 70% experience points. As expected of being the first to clear this. This was comparable to the result of seven to eight hours of hard work!
“Flawless grade?”
Li Yi was stunned. When he heard whether or not to hide his name, he immediately clicked yes. It was not because he was afraid of anyone, but because he did not want to be harassed by the other players.
There was no benefit in revealing his name to the public.
…
At the same time, after Li Yi made his choice, the sound of a system announcement resounded throughout Novice Village no. 77777. For a moment, all the players were stunned.
[Server Announcement: This is a special announcement!!! A player has successfully killed the level 5 black-iron boss, Wilke. The first kill has been completed.]
What??
A level 5 black-iron boss had been killed by a player?
Although the player had hidden their name, there was only one server announcement, which meant that this black-iron boss had been killed by a single player.
At this moment, the entire Novice Village was in an uproar.
“How is this possible? I’ve been fighting for so long, and I haven’t even reached level 2 yet, and this person has already killed a level 5 black-iron boss? And he fought it alone?”
“Are you serious? I just leveled up to level 2 and wanted to challenge the Wild Wolves, but now I’m back to Level 1!!!”
“It seems like Divine Revelation has only been open for more than half a day, and there’s already someone who can fight a black-iron boss alone? There must be something behind this!!”
“Our Scorching Sun Guild welcomes this guy to our guild. Annual salary interview, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!!!”
The ordinary players discussed animatedly. Almost everyone did not believe that this man had done it on his own. All of them went to the game’s official website to report it.. The game’s official website had released the battle video.
