Chapter 139 - One Slash, Two Halves, Amazing!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Were the past Winnie to be in such a situation, pig’s would have started flying. However, she has changed now.

Winnie knew that she could not deal damage in a fixed position. Every time she finished casting a skill, she would move her position and then release another skill.

In such a crowded space, it would not be easy for the huge body of the Drakonid to move. She could use this advantage to deal damage.

Li Yi naturally saw through this tactic. In order to survive in Divine Revelation, this kind of awareness was necessary in such games.

This also meant that Winnie had potential to develop into someone powerful.

The Drakonid raised its arm to protect itself from Winnie’s attack. At the same time, it constantly twisted its body in an attempt to catch Winnie’s figure. Unfortunately, when it came to body sizes, it had a harder time maneuvering around the cave compared to Winnies tiny figure.

This was also a common disadvantage with huge monsters. Because they were too big, their movements would become slow.

In contrast, a thin and small human would appear very agile, and if they were warriors who specialized in agility, it would become a hassle for bosses to defeat them.

For example, Clutch King would have been a menace to this Drakonid, and it would have been easily defeated without a scratch on his face.

Of course, that was only possible against warriors like Clutch King who specialized in agility.

On the other hand, Winnie was racing against time. Her skills required chanting time, so she could only choose Wind Blade that had the shortest chanting time to attack.

However, the damage of Wind Blade was not very high, so even against a Drakonid with weak magic attacks, the damage dealt was still limited.

That’s right, after the Drakonid was attacked, it would pause for two seconds. During this pause, Winnie had to run to the next point to cast an attack.

During this process, the Drakonid would have recovered and was ready to attack.

Winnie could only continuously cast spells before the attack arrives and rush to the next point.

The whole process seemed to be fine, but an oncoming problem was about to arise.

Winnie’s MP was limited, and she would start to feel the fatigue from running.

She had never fought in a high-intensity battle before, so she had to maintain a focused state when she attacked and ran.

In a short while, she would start to lower her defenses because of her limited MP and physical exhaustive state.

If she was even a second slower and got caught by the Drakonid, then she would not be able to complete the mission.

This was what Li Yi wanted to see now. When she encountered such a problem, would she rely on her own strength to solve it?

“Wind Blade!”

“-1010!”

“-820!”

“-805!”

Winnie’s body gradually began to feel exhausted as she panted breathes of hot air out of her system. She could no longer hold on to the staff in her hand as tightly as she once did.

However, she persevered. She did not know where the motivation came from that made her so persistent.

Winnie glanced at Li Yi who was watching her from afar and made a mental note. It was as if there was a force in her heart that was driving her to continue moving forward.

At this moment, her legs, which trembled from exhaustion, tripped over something in the cave that could not be seen clearly.

“Ah!”

Winnie fell to the ground, creating an opportunity for the Drakonid to attack.

“This isn’t good!”

Winnie felt a strong pressure coming from behind her.

The Drakonid raised its tail and swept it towards Winnie!

The armor on its tail collided with Winnie, and a golden barrier appeared in front of Winnie as it blocked the attack.

Fortunately, she had the gift that Snow Chaser had given Winnie.

“Light Shield!”

This was a passive skill. It could block one attack, but the gravity of the attack still sent Winnie flying.

Winnie, who was sent flying to a corner, was covered in wounds as she coughed loudly. She was exhausted, but she still relied on her staff to stand up. She gripped the staff and trembled as she got up.

Seeing that Winnie had not been knocked down, the Drakonid let out an angry roar. It walked towards Winnie towards a corner with a fierce look, as if it wanted to eat her alive.

Feeling the pressure of the Drakonid, Winnie unconsciously took a few steps back, her whole body trembled.

Although it was not as intimidating as that time Li Yi had to face the nightmare mode boss while everyone died, knowing that she had to face the monster herself was what brought the fear about.

The fear in her heart was especially obvious to Li Yi. 

She kept recalling the scene of Li Yi’s battle in her mind. He was always so brave, always so majestic, and she was just cowered in a corner.

She did not know when, but she also began to hate that timid little girl who only dared to follow obediently behind her sister.

Channeling that hatred, she held her staff and chanted once more.

“Wind Blade!”

“-3,220! Vital Strike!”

“-840!”

“-815!”

The Drakonid once again stretched out its hands to block, but a blow still hit its cheek.

This made the Drakonid, who was already angry because of Winnie’s measly attacks, even angrier. It opened its mouth and intended to directly swallow Winnie.

That attack just now had used up Winnie’s last MP. She was really at her wit’s end now.

She really hated her own incompetence. She clearly wanted to face the monster alone, but in the end, she still failed.

“You’ve done very well. Now, you’ve changed compared to your past self. Leave the rest to me.”

Li Yi’s figure came from behind Winnie. Li Yi held the greatsword that was surrounded by the aura of death with one hand and slowly walked in front of Winnie, he then quickly slashed the monster in front of him without a moment’s hesitation.

“Critical Strike!”

“-21,233!”

“+2,123!”

Followed by a tragic cry, the Drakonid was split into two halves and finally turned into nothingness.

[System Notification: Congratulations for defeating the Iron-devouring Drakonid. Obtained 20,000 x2 EXP.]

[Talent Trigger: Obtained 120 HP, 1.2 HP recovery/second]

Winnie’s mouth was agape as she looked at the majestic figure in front of her with a shocked expression.

This was the man who ranked first, the man she admired in her heart and dreamed of. With just one slash, he had easily defeated the Drakonid.

He was undeniably amazing and strong!

Winnie once again fell into the fantasy of worshiping Li Yi.

It was as if what had just happened did not matter.

Looking at the man who was searching for items on the ground, she felt that this man was simply the most handsome man in the world.

Even if he was bent over and hunched over like a scavenger, she still felt that he was very handsome. Perhaps this was what they meant by beauty being in the eye of the beholder.

Li Yi kept all the loot and planned to split them equally with Winnie after the mission was completed.

Li Yi was worried that Winnie would be angry with his behavior just now. He only came to help when he saw that Winnie was in danger. He did not intend on shaming Winnies behavior.

How should he explain it later? Whenever he had no solution, he would just be a mute.

After all, Li Yi did not know how to coax girls into calming down.

Although Li Yi was very good at commanding, when it came to dealing with girls, he was entirely clueless..
