Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 75
No sooner had the words been spoken…
BOOM!
A brilliant pillar of light erupted from the teleportation array on the mountainside, shooting straight into the sky!
Above, thunderclouds churned and pressed down heavily, with arcs of lightning, like raging dragons, weaving and rampaging through them.
A fierce gale swept across the entire Roc Island, whipping up sand and stones!
At this moment, everyone on Roc Island was staring, utterly dumbstruck.
Even the four well-traveled guild leaders were badly startled.
“Such a huge spectacle! What level must this Field Boss be?” Lei Tai exclaimed.
“It’s definitely not just Level 50,” Liu Xinxin murmured thoughtfully.
“The higher the level, the better the loot. Lu Ran, you’re going to make a killing this time!” Ye Hongyi, on the other hand, was incredibly excited.
No matter the level, Lu Ran would land the final blow!
“There will be quite a few casualties this time,” Yu Cangqiong frowned slightly and sighed.
But casualties were an unavoidable part of facing a Field Boss.
Those who wanted to risk it all for a chance at great rewards had to bear the corresponding risks.
The pity was, with Lu Ran here, those people were taking the risks without any real possibility of gaining the rewards.
Lu Ran was also shocked by the scene before him.
The thunderclouds continued to compress, their color gradually turning red. When they were as red as fresh blood, a bolt of lightning as thick as a barrel exploded forth!
It slammed down into the mortal world like a thunder god from ancient times.
Above the teleportation array, a towering, colossal figure suddenly materialized.
It was a giant, over a hundred meters tall, with blue-brown skin covered in scales.
The giant held a steel trident, raging waves surged at its feet, and a pair of fangs were exposed. The moment it appeared, its roar shook the heavens!
“Level 60 Field Boss, the Sea Patrolling Yaksha!” Liu Xinxin recognized it immediately and couldn’t hold back a cry of surprise.
The faces of the other guild leaders also turned somewhat grim.
Even Lu Ran remembered now.
Back at the academy, he had studied the accounts of the Sea Patrolling Yaksha.
Eight years ago.
Also in a coastal region, on Whitecap Island, the Level 60 Field Boss, the Sea Patrolling Yaksha, had appeared.
But at that time, the overall level of the professional world was far from sufficient!
Countless professionals who were on-site waiting for the Field Boss were completely wiped out!
Forget about killing the Sea Patrolling Yaksha; that battle resulted in massive casualties!
In the end, the Sea Patrolling Yaksha remained for over six hours without being killed, then teleported away. No one gained any benefits!
“According to the data from back then, the Sea Patrolling Yaksha’s HP was 45 million. Lu Ran, how long have you been charging?” Liu Xinxin asked immediately.
“Fifteen hours,” Lu Ran replied, checking the charge time on his skill panel.
“Your current spell attack power deals 3.06 million damage per charge hour. Fifteen hours amounts to 45.9 million damage, just exceeding the Yaksha’s HP. But considering the damage reduction from its magic defense, you need to wait until its HP drops below 90% before striking,” Liu Xinxin calculated thoughtfully.
To be on the safe side, she advised Lu Ran to wait until the Sea Patrolling Yaksha’s HP fell below 80% before attacking.
That would guarantee the kill!
Yu Cangqiang, witnessing this scene for the first time, felt his head spinning.
A Level 25 Necromancer.
Facing the Level 60 Field Boss, the Sea Patrolling Yaksha, which had once caused a nationwide sensation and massive casualties, could kill it with one skill while it still had 80% of its HP left!
This was simply unbelievable!
Meanwhile, at the feet of the Sea Patrolling Yaksha, chaos instantly erupted.
“Holy crap, it’s the Sea Patrolling Yaksha! Run!”
“Run? Don’t be stupid! Times are different now; we can take it!”
“A Level 60 Field Boss! The rewards must be insane!”
“Everyone, attack together! Whether we strike it rich depends on our own luck!”
“I’m not fighting. Staying alive is more important. You guys handle it!”
…
Many people fled the Field Boss area. It seemed they still hadn’t forgotten the fear instilled by the Sea Patrolling Yaksha eight years ago.
However, the remaining professionals relentlessly unleashed a barrage of various skills and bursts, holding nothing back.
After all, it was just the beginning.
It had over 40 million HP!
There was no need to conserve skills now, which resulted in the Sea Patrolling Yaksha’s HP dropping rapidly.
Liu Xinxin glanced towards the coast. Those dozen or so individuals were still there, motionless. They neither joined the fight nor left upon the Yaksha’s appearance.
By the shore.
The dozen or so Japanese were indeed just watching the show.
“To think it’s the Sea Patrolling Yaksha.”
“If this appeared in Japan, President Nana would probably lead the team to subjugate it herself.”
“Don’t even mention it. With Nana around, the final blow is reserved for her. No point us thinking about it.”
“Not like here in Dragon Xia, where it’s every man for himself. Sigh…”
“Let’s watch. This will give us a rough idea of the overall standard of Dragon Xia’s professionals.”
…
As they spoke.
The Sea Patrolling Yaksha’s HP continued to drop.
It soon fell to 90%.
“Quite fast, considering eight years have passed. Lu Ran, get ready,” Liu Xinxin said to Lu Ran.
Lu Ran nodded. He had been ready for a while and could activate the Blood Spear at any time!
Yu Cangqiang, meanwhile, was observing the situation on the field and noticed the casualties weren’t as high as he had imagined.
True.
Many low-level professionals had already been scared off by the Yaksha’s appearance.
Those who remained were either highly skilled and confident or had decent levels and equipment themselves.
Casualties weren’t too high.
Yu Cangqiang relaxed slightly and said, “Lu Ran, the moment the Boss’s HP hits 80%, strike immediately. Any delay will only lead to more unnecessary casualties.”
As the leader of the Heavenly Path Alliance, Yu Cangqiang hadn’t lost the courage from his days as a commander in the Guardian Army; he had simply gained a more compassionate side.
“Understood,” Lu Ran nodded seriously, saying no more.
A short while later.
Watching the Sea Patrolling Yaksha’s HP approach 80%, Lu Ran drew his staff.
At the Boss’s feet.
The numerous professionals were a flurry of activity, skillfully and calmly engaging in battle.
“So smooth! This is what combat should be like!”
“Haven’t had such a satisfying fight in a long time. Healers, watch my HP, keep it topped up!”
“This feels a bit slow. We’ve only chipped away this much?”
“This is actually fast, damn it! It’s a Level 60 Field Boss!”
…
As they spoke, the Sea Patrolling Yaksha’s HP dropped to 80%!
This seemed to trigger some mechanism. The Yaksha suddenly raised its steel trident, let out a roar, and the giant waves at its feet began to churn violently.
It seemed to agitate the sea surface not far away, causing monstrous waves to rise there as well!
“Yaksha Frenzy! Lu Ran, now! Interrupt it!” Liu Xinxin immediately shouted.
The professionals at the Boss’s feet were forced back by the huge waves, temporarily retreating from its fury.
Looking up, their faces instantly turned pale.
“Oh no, it’s frenzied!”
“Crap, wasn’t it at 60% HP when it frenzied eight years ago? Why so early this time?”
“It’s random. Just our bad luck, dammit.”
“Prepare for a tough fight, brothers! Watch your defenses, evade damage!”
“All healers, fall back! Maintain a safe distance and keep our HP up!”
…
The various teams issued orders in an organized manner.
But at that moment.
A blood-red spear pierced through the sky, shooting straight towards the Yaksha’s forehead!
