The Legend

8. Lucky Strike [I]

The Warlock's health was slightly higher than the Mage's, but definitely not as high as the Warrior's. Teagan was lucky not to be instantly killed. 

However, it terrified him, and he quickly swallowed several health potions and ran away as fast as he could. He also switched the white giant wolf to attack mode. The giant wolf immediately attacked the boss with bared fangs and claws.

How could the boss be intimidated by a mere summoned beast? He unleashed a burst of fire, instantly turning the giant wolf into a roasted wolf.

However, more and more ghostly or demonic things gathered on the boss, causing it to lose 15 health points per second, greatly slowing its movement speed. It also seemed to have lost its target, blindly running around in the poison array, unable to distinguish east from west.

Ryan was secretly full of admiration upon seeing it; the poison array of the Destruction Warlock was truly powerful. Before long, the boss was afflicted with various abnormal statuses.

"Go, Ryan!" Teagan retreated to a distance to recover his energy.

Without a word, Ryan charged forward and unleashed a Wild Roar, stunning the boss and trapping it within the poison array, rendering it immobile. Because the boss's attributes were weakened across the board, Ryan's Wild Roar was a resounding success, avoiding a miss.

Immediately afterwards, Ryan unleashed his "Deadly Sword Energy" with a swift and deadly strike!

A blinding red light condensed on the Ghost Fiend Blade in Ryan's hand. As the blade descended from top to bottom, the red light intensified. The moment the Ghost Fiend Blade struck the boss, a sword aura shot out and pierced through the boss's body.

-350!

An astonishing damage number floated above the boss's head.

Ryan was secretly delighted, but cursed himself for being such an idiot. Why didn't he activate Berserk Power? He didn't increase his critical hit rate and critical hit damage by 10%, otherwise he could have taken away a lot of the boss's health.

The boss's aggro shifted to Ryan. With a whoosh, a ball of flame came rushing towards him, taking away most of Ryan's health. Startled, Ryan quickly drank a bottle of medium-level red potion, then activated Berserk Power and Berserk Sword Technique, and swung his sword at the boss while tanking the damage.

-150, -170, -131, -155, -121…

Ryan's attack reduced the boss's health by nearly a thousand. Because he was equipped with the Shadow Cloak, which increased his attack speed by 2%, he was able to attack the boss more frequently.

At this moment, Teagan rushed back and cast another plague poison array. Purple mist spread out, enveloping the boss's hunched figure, and ghostly creatures tightly bound the boss's body.

The boss was furious, but it couldn't defeat Ryan and Teagan. However, its health was dropping rapidly, and soon it only had about 3,000 left.

Seeing this, Ryan unleashed another deadly sword aura, instantly killing over 600 HP from the boss with a loud bang. This time, the deadly sword aura was released under the Berserk Power state, resulting in a significant increase in damage.

"Ryan, well done!" Teagan praised repeatedly from behind.

Unexpectedly, the boss became completely enraged, raising its wooden staff towards the sky and allowing Ryan to attack repeatedly. Immediately, red clouds rose in the sky, and fire elements surged violently.

Ryan was startled at first, and Teagan was also shocked and shouted, "Oh no, run!"

It was too late before they could finish speaking. A series of enormous fireballs began to rain down from the sky, engulfing an area of ​​15 yards in flames. Each fireball exploded upon impact, creating a sea of ​​fire with a wide area of ​​damage.

Ryan, with his high health and defense, barely managed to withstand the attack and escaped the boss's attack range with only a sliver of health remaining. However, Teagan did not escape this fate. As a cloth-armored class, his defense was very low, and he was instantly obliterated by a fireball.

"Teagan!" Ryan shouted in a panic, his heart filled with anxiety.

The boss continued its attack, with huge fireballs raining down from the sky for a full minute.

At this moment, Teagan had already returned to the city and respawned. He sent a voice message to Ryan, "Ryan, are you alright?"

Ryan rushed forward to continue fighting the boss, casually replying, "I'm fine. How about you?"

"Great, no equipment dropped. Hang in there, I'll get back as soon as possible."

"Hurry up." As he spoke, Ryan struck the boss with another deadly sword strike. The boss's health dropped by more than 500.

Battle prompt: [The boss Skeleton Priest has spent a lot of mana casting Heavenly Fire and is now in a weakened state, with all attributes reduced by 50% for 300 seconds]

Ryan was happy and unleashed a flurry of blows, finally managing to bring the boss down when it was extremely weakened.

With a defiant roar, the boss tilted backward, scattering gold coins and a ton of equipment across the ground.

Battle notification: [Congratulations on killing the blue boss Skeleton Priest! You have received 100,000 experience points, 1 reputation point, and 1 luck point]

A golden light shone down, and Ryan leveled up to level 16. Moreover, his experience points surged again to 35%.

Ryan didn't have time to count the gold coins or check the equipment; he frantically picked up everything and pocketed it. But just as he finished collecting the equipment, he heard someone shout from the entrance to the second floor, "Hurry up! The Holy God's Clan are coming!"

"Oh no, the group that fought the boss earlier is back!" Ryan thought to himself in alarm. He turned around and saw dozens of players swarming in from the entrance, getting closer and closer.

Ryan took out a return scroll, crushed it, and returned to town just as the group of players were right in front of him.
