Chapter 478: Thunder Werebear King
Lin Jie panicked. “Breathless, retreat!” He activated Thunder Descent and moved in front of Mixed Breathless. He unleashed Army Obliteration together with Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner and attacked, dealing large amounts of damage and attracted the aggro. The Werebears behind could not attack their first aggro target—Mages, so they could only unleash their attacks towards Lin Jie, but Lin Jie was immune to all thunder damage.
Werebears were different from other races, even Normal-level Werebears had the Enraged Mode state and would activate their racial skill [Thunder Claws] when they were in Enraged Mode. Their attacking range would increase by 45 yards and deal high Magic Damage. That was the reason why Lin Jie wanted Mixed Breathless to tank the monsters. As there were too many monsters, it was impossible to accurately determine the activation time of Thunder Claws, so they had to take the damage head-on. Only Shield Specialists like Mixed Breathless could take the first wave of damage by Thunder Claws. If it were others, then they might be instakilled!
However, the activation of Thunder Claws also meant that the Werebeasts’ health points were low. Everyone attacked, and the Werebears fell down like wheat being harvested. Countless messages of rich experience points gained were received. The experience points of Werebears were extremely high, so Baili Changcheng raised his level on the spot, to Level 31.
Lin Jie’s EXP bar also increased greatly, his EXP bar that reached Level 46 79% after killing the Munjo Ogre Prince had increased by yet another 15%. If they cleared another camp, then most likely, Lin Jie could raise a level.
“Collect the loot first. We’ll enter the camp soon,” said Lin Jie.
The spoils this time were abundant, there was 70+ Level 45 Silver items and 100+ Bronze items, but they were mostly at the level of items sold at stores and not good enough for them to bother with. However, the Gold Boss Section Leader, which had died from the bombardment of AOE magic spells, had dropped two quite good items.
[Thunder Bladefist] (Gold)
Requires: Level 45
Attack: 364-573
Magic Attack: 300-464
Wisdom: +20
Agility: +15
Armor Ignore: 20
Additional effect: Bear-Transforming Level+1
It was an exclusive Bladefist weapon for Druids, its attributes were good, but what’s rare was that it increased Bear-Transforming by a level. Transformation-type skills were the foundation of their strength, so the value of the equipment was quite high.
“Our team seems to lack a Druid,” said Zheng Ziliang. “Druids have Battle Rez skills, so many times, they can decide the outcome of a battle.”
Lin Jie nodded. “I know a Druid that is quite good, she’s called Bi Yueshang, I’ll negotiate with her and try to pull her in.”
“Bi Yueshang? Isn’t she the most beautiful Elf in the City of Elves? Where did you meet her?” Zheng Ziliang’s eyes lit up once he heard that name.
Who didn’t know Bi Yueshang? She could be said to be the best Druid, and she specialized in Transformation skills. She had a tiny waist, long legs, and an explosive figure that was extremely attractive. On the web, there was a video of her, the scene of when she had just returned to her human form from her leopard form. It revealed her drop-dead gorgeous figure together with her beautiful eyes that could make one faint from just a look as she let out a lazy repressed moan. That video made countless homebodies crazy and exceeded 100,000,000 views—she was said to be the super representative of wild beauty.
Lin Jie coughed dryly. “Forum.”
“Forum?” Zheng Ziliang was doubtful.
“Yes, I know her, but she may not know me.” Lin Jie’s face turned red from embarrassment.
“F*ck! Get lost...” shouted Zheng Ziliang angrily as he realized that he was excited for nothing.
The second item was a specialized Skill Book named [Thunder Blade]. The effect was to convert 3% of the Attack Damage to Thunder Damage. That bit of Thunder Damage would stack as the level increased, one could stack to a maximum of 200%. That meant a Level 1 Thunder Blade would increase an additional 3% damage, Level 2 6%, Level 3 9%, and so on, the higher the level, the higher the conversion rate. If physical jobs obtained this Skill Book, then they would be able to deal high damage to Shield Specialists that specialized in physical defense.
“Give it to Lone Wolf,” said Mixed Breathless.
“I don’t need it, I have this.” Lin Jie showed his skill.
“OMG, Wolf Run Swordsmanship! That is one of the top three specialized skills in the rankings! It can increase Attack Speed and Movement Speed, no wonder your damage output is so high,” exclaimed Star Kill. He added, “Since it’s like this, then give me the Skill Book. When Bandits attack, they will always be countered with defense-enhancement-type skills. If I use that Skill Book, then I will be able to deal with their defensive methods.”
“Okay!”
The Skill Book was distributed to Star Kill, and everyone continued moving forward.
Only when monsters attacked the city would such a situation where the old things from races would come out. It was like those experts that hid in the deep mountains made a move after smelling the scent of treasure. There were many rare treasures hidden on these old things.
After clearing the remaining army of Werebears on the way, everyone reached a fortress. That fortress was inconspicuous on the map, but now that it was in front of their eyes, they realized how humongous it really was! It was no wonder the Werebears were living in only tents. It looked like all the materials were used to build that fortress. However, the building method was a little rough, it was simply just piled together like a nuclear reactor...
Sizzle... Sizzle...
That nuclear reactor... No, the fortress was enveloped with layers of thunder with lightning snakes slithered around vigorously, which sent shivers down people’s back. One could imagine how powerful the character inside was!
Fat Cattle licked his lips, smiled, and asked, “There won’t still be an army of Werebears inside, will there? I’m getting tired from collecting the loot.”
Lin Jie smiled. “Then, you might be disappointed, let’s enter.”
After entering the fortress, everyone was astonished. The structure inside the fortress was quite complete. There were stools, chairs, swords, and armors... but those items were all purplish-blue and looked hazy. Lightning could be seen vaguely appearing on the items, they were actually all virtual items created by lightning! In the center of the fortress sat a huge burly Werebear that was as tall as four men. It sat cross-legged, and lightning snakes were surging out from beside it.
“Hm?” The arrival of Lin Jie and the others awakened that huge Werebear as it gradually opened its eyes.
That Thunder Giant Werebear’s skin was a bright pale blue, lightning could be seen from within, and its aura was oppressing. It moved, and all the lightning furniture within the fortress were instantly destroyed, they were converted into pure energy that was absorbed within the Giant Bear’s body.
The Giant Werebear stood up slowly and shouted, “Alternate realm humans? You dare enter the territory of us, Glacier Werebears? You’re courting death! Today will be the day where your corpses shall be hung on the top of the Werebear Fortress.”
[Thunder Werebear King] (Dark Gold Overlord)
Level: 55
Health Points: 3,500,000
Attack: 1,628-2,219
Defense: 1,200
Special Feature: Thunder Fur (Immune to Thunder-attribute attacks, effects of Thunder-type magic increases by 20%)
Skill: Thunder Werebear Summon, Werebear Shock, Werebear’s Sharp Claws, Lightning Storm
“Dark Gold Overlord!” None of them was surprised. Instead, they were eager to start attacking the Boss. A Dark Gold Overlord was the best monster to test out the Savage Blade team now!
Behind the Werebear was a covert spatial wormhole. Once one entered it, they would arrive at another place.
“Werebear Domination!” roared the Thunder Werebear King.
It clapped its bear paws together, and lightning was instantly released, it gathered to form a round spiraling thunderball, which swelled larger and larger before suddenly exploding. One could only see the illusion of a Thunder Giant Werebear was formed.
[Thunder Werebear] (Elite)
Level: 55
Health Points: 300,000
Attack: 1,101-1,283
Defense: 700
Special Feature: Energy Body (Reduces Magic Damage by 30%, increases physical damage received by 30%)
There were a total of 15 Thunder Werebears! They attacked simultaneously and were quite powerful! The two Shield Specialists, Mixed Breathless and The Heavenly Shield, instantly went forward and pulled the aggro with a splendid combo of movements. However, the damage of the monsters was just too high! The defense values of the two Shield Specialists were powerful, but their Mana Defense was weak—Magic Damage was forever the weak point of Shield Specialists!
In The New Age, the job with the strongest Mana Defense was Paladins, then it was Mages with their respective Elemental Magic, and last were Shield Specialists.
“Power Word Shield, Holy Light Flash, Holy Nova!” Bu Yi waved her staff continuously, and Power Word Shield appeared on the two Shield Specialists repeatedly. Every time the attacks of the monsters arrived, the Power Word Shield and healing would land on the Shield Specialists just at the right time, reducing their pressure as much as possible. I’m No. 1, I’m No. 3, and I’m No. 4 also instantly started healing.
“Star Kill, Netherblue, Ziliang, Childe, and Camel, the six of us will kill the Thunder Werebears, the rest concentrate your attacks on the Boss!” shouted Lin Jie as he turned to face a Thunder Werebear.
That large bear paw hit Lin Jie’s head and instantly numbed half of Lin Jie’s face. Lin Jie’s health points directly decreased by 671 points! Lin Jie’s Defense was high, and his Mana Defense was not bad either. However, such a high damage value still popped, it could be imagined how fearsome the Giant Bears were.
Army Obliteration!
-2,615!
-2,371!
-2,637!
-2,594!
The disadvantages of the Thunder Werebear’s Special Feature of an energy body was instantly revealed as high damage values popped due to the physical attacks. Lin Jie’s Bloody Demonic Ring even absorbed the monster’s health points and converted them into his health points.
Although the Thunder Werebears’ Attack was high, their Attack Speed was slow, so when facing Lin Jie, who had specially practiced the Combo Attack technique, the bears were helpless to retaliate at all.
After understanding the Thunder Werebear’s basic attacking motion, Lin Jie stood still and waited for the opponent to attack. As expected, that monster’s bear paw swung towards Lin Jie’s head, and the latter tilted his head, and the bear paw missed, swinging past his face.
His foot was in front while his body was tilted backward, that action was imitating the Vanishing Step that Tomorrow Night had used. A vague afterimage appeared in the air, which instantly disappeared in the next moment, it was still far from the actual Vanishing Step.
Seeing the Thunder Werebear attacking once again, Lin Jie directly activated Shield Cut and slashed towards the Thunder Werebear, pushing it back, and with a raise of his hand, he used Clomaros’ Kill!
-58,372! (Critical Hit)
Clomaros’ Kill was still awesome!
Lin Jie followed up on his successful attack and pierced using his Broken Blade continuously, killing the Thunder Werebear in the blink of an eye. The Thunder Werebear wailed, and its body was converted into a small round ball.
[Thunder Werebear’s Heart]: Channeling material, consumable item. When directly used, it will provide you with 20 points of Thunder-attribute Defense, lasting for 5 minutes. This effect is allowed to be stacked.
“Mixed Breathless, use this.” Lin Jie directly threw the Thunder Heart to Mixed Breathless after obtaining it.
Mixed Breathless swayed left and right form being beaten up by the Werebear King, its every attack had a paralysis effect. It caused Mixed Breathless to be unable to attack at all, and the Werebear King’s Attack was exceptionally high, torturing Mixed Breathless as he suffered from taking the attacks. Mixed Breathless caught the heart and instantly used it, a small lightning snake climbed up his shield.
After a few minutes, tens of Thunder Werebears were all killed, and the many Thunder Hearts were all given to Mixed Breathless. The Thunder Werebear’s Heart effect was allowed to be stacked, so the damage Mixed Breathless received decreased by 200+ points.
“Baili Changcheng, use Thunder-attribute skills,” said Lin Jie.
Baili Changcheng nodded. Although he was an Ice Elemental Sword Artist, he had still learned skills of other attributes, just that he was not as proficient in them only.
“Thunder Drop.”
After channeling, three bolts of lightning were formed. Each of them could deal 20% damage and have a 5% chance of paralysis. It was the basic Thunder-attribute magic. Although its damage was low, it could cause paralysis, and the activation speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the skill had finished activating.
The Werebear King let out a huge roar. “The power of thunder is my strength! Thunder Werebears, gather!”
Baili Changcheng’s skill actually formed another three underlings for the Boss!
