Chapter 20: Golden Boss—Flaming Lion
Flame Valley.
Chu Bai was fighting a group of monsters with the Novice Sword in his hand.
There were many players following him. They were also fighting monsters. When they saw Chu Bai leave, they slowly followed.
"Heavenly Lightning Break!"
Boom—
After killing two more Flame Rats, Chu Bai continued to walk forward.
"Oh my god, is this Bai Ye's skill really not on cooldown? We saw him farming monsters just now, right? I watched him for ten minutes, and his skill casts almost never stopped, and why isn't his mana dropping either?"
"Isn't this talent too broken? Skills with no cooldown and no mana consumption. Isn't this invincible?"
"Obviously, it's impossible for there to be such a bug-like skill. It's probably because this particular skill has no cooldown and no mana consumption. After all, I didn't see him use other skills limitlessly."
"In that case, I guess it's balanced. He's only in the early stages, and everyone's skills and equipment will be upgraded later on. His skill is full of flaws, so it's not actually that strong."
"…"
Everyone discussed animatedly.
"F*ck! A Silver Boss!"
Suddenly, someone discovered a lion that looked like it was on fire under a tree in front of them.
"No! It's a Gold Boss! F*ck! A Gold Boss!"
Everyone was both terrified and excited! f(r)eewebn(o)vel.com
"Quick! Someone! There's a Level 5 Gold boss here! It's only Level 5! Quick!"
The surrounding people gathered together. In an instant, there were two to three hundred people.
Chu Bai also looked at the Gold Boss.
[Flaming Lion]: Level: 5, Grade: Gold Boss, Health Points: 12,000. A powerful fire-type monster that lives in the Flame Valley. It has extremely powerful fire-type abilities and destructive melee power. It is very fierce and has very high agility.
Skill: [Flame Roar]: Charges up power on the spot for one second, then release a powerful Flame Roar. It can reach as far as 15 meters and deal damage to struck units every second. There is a 10% chance of having a 5-second burn effect. The Flame Roar can last for up to 5 seconds. Cooldown: 30 seconds.
[Berserker]: Releases the powerful power of fire in the body, increasing Attack Power by 100%, Movement Speed by 100%, but reduces defense by 50%. Lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 3 minutes.
[Flame Pillar]: Detonates an area of five meters within a 20-meter radius. Instant skill, instantly raises the Flame Pillar. Deals damage to the target and has a 10% chance of inflicting a five-second burn effect. Cooldown: 1 minute.
[Tri-Shadow Berserker]: Forcibly lose 10% of your own maximum HP and condenses three clones. Each clone has your current attributes and skills. Other than the [Tri-Shadow Berserker] skill, all other skills can also be released. The clones can last for a minute at most. During this period, the main body's defense will be reduced by 50%. Cooldown: one hour.
"Is it that strong?"
This was the first time Chu Bai had seen the strength of this Gold tier boss in Destiny!
The previous Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor was a special case.
A Level 5 Gold Boss. The strength of these four skills was extremely insane. It was nearly twice as strong as any other game he had played before!
"13,000 HP. Do you think we can kill him with just a few hundred of us?"
"Don't worry, he's only Level 5. Even if he's a Gold Boss, his Defense won't be too high. With so many people, melee players will distract it, and ranged players will continue to attack. As long as ranged players have enough space to attack, it won't take long for him to die with 13,000 HP."
"Attack! As for who the final monster belongs to, that will depend on fate!"
"…"
No one could resist the temptation of a Level 5 Gold boss!
It was mainly because there were enough players here.
"Great Bai Ye, you won't steal our kills, right?" someone asked.
They could fight, but they were most afraid of Chu Bai stealing monsters.
Chu Bai indifferently said, "Go ahead and fight. I won't snatch it."
"But you stole Old Dream Tian Yu's kill last time," someone said worriedly.
"That's because I have a grudge against him."
After saying that, Chu Bai climbed onto a tree in the distance and leisurely ate a bun.
"Brothers, if Bai Ye won't kill-steal, let's go!"
The players' last bit of worry was gone.
"Go!"
Chu Bai sat on a tree branch and watched as the players charged toward the Flaming Lion.
He would not kill-steal, but Chu Bai also knew that these players could not beat this Boss.
Just based on the four skills of this Boss, it was not something that hundreds of ordinary players could kill.
Unless they had an impressive control-type talent to forcefully stun and imprison, they had no chance.
However, this kind of skill would be considered a top-tier talent even if it controlled the target for only a second. If it was only for a second, though, they would still be unable to defeat this Boss.
Chu Bai could use these people to drain some of the monster's health, or even force out its Ultimate.
With 13,000 HP, even Chu Bai would not have an easy time with it. Even if he did not have a cooldown for Heavenly Lightning Break, this Boss could kill Chu Bai with just two hits. Facing a Gold Boss, Heavenly Lightning Break also needed a full second to accumulate power, so it was not invincible.
His conscience?
Hehehe, how could a game of life and death need a conscience?
One was willing to fight, and the other was willing to suffer. They were willing to fight the Gold boss for their own greed, so they had to pay the price.
The player's attacks landed on the Flaming Lion.
-13, -21, -11, MISS
The damage was very low. After all, their Attack Power was not higher than 50. However, it was already not bad for them to deal 10 to 20 damage. If it was a Level 10 Gold Boss, they probably would not be able to break through its defense.
However, quantitative change led to qualitative change.
With hundreds of players attacking at the same time, even if one person dealt 10 damage per second, it would add up to thousands.
"Let me do it. I have Ice attacks."
A player cast a Freezing skill on the Flaming Lion and shot an Icicle at it. The Flaming Lion was instantly frozen on the spot.
"Attack!"
Then, their attacks landed on the Flaming Lion.
However, this situation could only last for two seconds.
Roar—
The Flaming Lion roared.
Not far away, flames appeared under the feet of a group of players without warning. Then, a sea of flame instantly erupted.
"Ah—"
Over a dozen players received over -500 damage, but none of them had that much HP. All of them died instantly.
"Careful! This is an instant-cast Flame Pillar!" someone shouted.
Then, the Flaming Lion stood still and attacked. It roared angrily, opened its mouth, and spat out flames from its mouth.
As it sprayed the flames, the Flaming Lion could even move its head to let the flames change trajectory.
"Run! Run!"
Everyone was shocked.
With just this skill, dozens of players were killed in five seconds!
Even though they were already prepared, their reaction time and speed were simply unable to dodge this skill!
The Flaming Lion roared and pounced on the crowd.
When the Flaming Lion leaped, the ranged players had already lost the terrain advantage to deal damage.
Next was the Flaming Lion's massacre. The players fled in all directions.
If these few hundred people were an orderly and organized team, they could have dealt with this Level 5 Gold Boss.
"Great Bai Ye, save me!"
"Great Bai Ye, save me!"
"Save me, Great Bai Ye. I've already died once. I don't want to die. Boohoo—"
Everyone cried out.
Chu Bai accumulated a Heavenly Lightning Break from the tree.
Boom—
Then, Chu Bai directly smashed the attack down.
-801
A huge damage number appeared on the Flaming Lion's body.
Attack Power: 142. Heavenly Lightning Break strikes the Center, dealing three times the damage. Then, the damage of the Strength Gem doubled it. After deducting the damage from Defense, the attack landed.
However, although Chu Bai's damage was so high that it looked like he could kill the Flaming Lion in less than twenty Heavenly Lightning Breaks, it was definitely not that simple.
Firstly, the Flaming Lion was very fast. It could easily escape the ten-meter radius of the lightning.
Secondly, Heavenly Lightning Break needed one second to accumulate power. This accumulation time was not invincible. This was a good opportunity for the Flaming Lion to instantly kill Chu Bai.
Thirdly, the Flaming Lion's Attack Power was very high, and it was very difficult for Chu Bai to dodge its skills. However, seeing the damage this Boss dealt to other players, Chu Bai still had a chance of not being instantly killed.
Everyone dispersed, and Chu Bai faced the Flaming Lion.
"Down by 4,000 HP, alright."
Then, Chu Bai willed into effect.
"Lil Xue'er."
With a flash of light, Lil Xue'er appeared beside Chu Bai.
"Go to a safe place."
"Woo—"
Lil Xue'er cried out and jumped onto a tree.
Whoosh—
Chu Bai held the Novice Sword and rushed over.
He could use a Flame Bead, but there was no need.
Chu Bai arched his neck.
