Chapter 14

Not long after, Li Yi opened the green treasure chest, and the ground began to tremble. It was as if something was trying to emerge from the ground.

“Roar!!”

An angry roar came from afar, and countless cracks appeared on the ground. Soon after, a large amount of green goo spewed out from the cracks from the ground. Li Yi observed as the green goo slowly formed into a creature.

As soon as this huge Green Mud Monster appeared, it loudly roared. It spewed out large amounts of venom from its mouth, and sprayed it into every corner. This turned the ground into a poisonous swamp.

Li Yi immediately went forward to check its attributes.

[Boss: Level 7 King of Green Mud Monsters]

[Rarity: Black-iron]

[HP: 8,000]

[Physical Attack: 375]

[Physical Defense: 180]

[Magic Defense: 50]

[Boss Skill: ???]

[Black-iron Skill: ???]

…

Aside from the fact that Li Yi’s HP was much higher than the boss’s, the other attributes of the boss were much lower.

“Chi!”

“-20! Poison Damage!”

Li Yi had only taken a few steps forward when he was hit by the poison. The range of the poison followed the movement of the boss. This meant that it was impossible to pull the boss out to fight. However, the damage was not too high for Li Yi, so there was no need to be afraid.

Li Yi quickly circled behind the boss. At this moment, he could reach the vital spot on the top of the boss’s head. He took advantage of this weak spot when the boss turned around to attack. Then, Li Yi immediately let out an angry roar.

“Raging Blood Roar!”

Li Yi gathered huge amounts of energy in his body and charged fiercely towards the direction of the monster. However, this time, the stun lasted less than a second. Under normal circumstances, the boss would have an anti-status attribute.

“-650!”

While the boss was still stunned, the pairing of the attack Combo and Heavy Strike directly hit the boss.

“-45.”

“-60.”

“-189! Critical Hit”

The King of Green Mud Monsters, which was as big as a tank, woke up from the pain and whipped its long tentacles.

“-310.”

The boss’s attack was a little scary, as the attack points allowed it to deal so much damage. Not only that, it had a moderately high defense. If it was anyone else, they would easily die if they did not have enough defense points.

Li Yi did not back down from the attack. Although this boss’s attack range was very wide, its huge body’s speed would definitely become much slower.

With his HP summing up to more than 8,000 points, alongside his terrifying recovery speed, as long as he carefully dodged the attacks swiftly, he would not need to be too anxious even if he was hit a few times.

He continued to play a push and pull game as he waited for the cooldown of his skills to recover. He went up and used Raging Blood War, Combo, and Heavy Strike.

Not long after, the HP of the King of Green Mud Monsters had reached around 20%. Li Yi had been observing its HP all this while.

However, when the monster just reached 20% HP, it immediately stopped attacking.

“Roar!!!”

It immediately let out an angry roar. Its body suddenly expanded to nearly twice its original size, and its entire body oozed with green goo.

“Huh? It looks like the boss is about to use the skill Berserk?”

Li Yi immediately took a step back. The attributes of using the skill Berserk had doubled its points, and it even gave the boss a special skill. 

He definitely could not face the boss head-on! 

Li Yi also seemed to be unlucky as the probability of this boss using Berserk was actually very low. Unless it was a special boss, players would rarely experience bosses like these to use the Berserk skill.

The King of Green Mud Monster then let out a furious roar. A large amount of venom gushed out from its body and spread out in the surroundings. It actually formed a huge wave that rushed towards Li Yi!

“Hu!”

Li Yi had been directly hit!

“-500! Poison Damage!”

[System Notification: You have received the King of Green Mud Monster’s berserk attack. You will lose 500 HP per second. Lasts for 5 seconds.]

“Thank goodness I have a lot of HP and a fast recovery speed!”

Li Yi immediately ran into the distance. This berserk mode was not limited to this range. He had only run a few steps when the next wave of the boss’s attack came.

Li Yi immediately jumped onto a rock in the distance and dodged the boss’s berserk skill. If he stayed in the boss’s range of attack, even if he had more than 8,000 HP, he would not be able to withstand it.

Li Yi then sat on the rock and watched as the boss went berserk.

This King of Green Mud Monsters seemed to be having a good time. It actually did not stop there and continued on with its attack. It carried on, the third wave, the fourth wave, the fifth wave… until many waves occurred, it happened until it was almost impossible for Li Yi to keep count.

At this moment, the monster spewed out the attacks like a bottomless pit, with countless venom stored in it. Even after it had spit out its attack so many times, it did not seem to have any intention of stopping.

…

After nearly a good ten minutes, the King of Green Mud Monsters finally stopped roaring, and the green goo around its body weakened.

[System Notification: The King of Green Mud Monsters has ended its Berserked state. It has entered a weakened state for 5 minutes. Defense, attack, and movement speed have been reduced by 80%!]

Li Yi immediately stood up and walked towards the boss. At this moment, the boss still wanted to fight back. However, its speed had been reduced by too much. He could easily dodge the attack and directly use Raging Blood Roar, Combo, and Heavy Strike on it.

“-670!”

“-143.”

“-184.”

“-307.”

…

[Talent Trigger: Obtained 80 HP, 0.8 HP Recovery/second]

Under Li Yi’s continuous attacks, the monster quickly died. It surged forward as a final attempt to attack him and died. With that, it also dropped many items.

There was a gold coin, a green staff, and a green book.

“Another skill book?”

[Item: Bramble Reflect Damage (skill book)]

[Usage requirement: Apprentice Warrior]

[Effect: Passive skill. All physical damage received will be reflected back with 5% true damage!]

It was actually a passive skill that reflected damage. This was a perfect match for him. Coupled with his SSS grade talent — Blood Devour, it was definitely another much-needed skill.

By relying on his talent to increase his health, as well as his health recovery speed, he could even stand still and wait for his enemy to be injured to death. However, it was a pity that he could not reflect damage from magic. It was no matter now that he had gained a new reflective skill for physical attacks!

[Equipment: Emerald Scepter]

[Rarity: Excellent]

[Magic Attack: 42]

[Excellent Attribute: Intelligence +7, Spirit +5]

[Equipment Condition: Level 5]

“This is not bad. Snow Chaser is definitely well suited to use this weapon. With the increase in damage, it would help me easily defeat other monsters!”

The healing ability of a healing mage meant that the higher the intelligence, the more HP the healing mage would have. This could be considered a top-tier scepter.
