Chapter 39 - First Kill in 100 Years!

Chapter 39 First Kill in 100 Years!

“I’ve broken through!”

Lu Jin was pleasantly surprised when he saw the system notification.

Previously, he had been using dozens of moves, but he had been stuck at 99% and was unable to advance further. Unexpectedly, just as the team was about to collapse and the anxiety in this heart made him think that he had to move faster, the heat in his body actually made him feel indescribably refreshed when he swung his sword, as if he was venting out all five strikes in one go.

One slash after another, there was no sense of pause or unnaturalness.

The power of that Sword Aurora had actually completely blocked the Goblin King’s attack. Even the Goblin King looked at Lu Jin in astonishment. He had not expected Lu Jin to be evenly matched.

Su Tongwei and the others noticed that change as well.

“He blocked it completely?” Su Tongwei looked at the unharmed Lu Jin in disbelief.

The Goblin King’s strength was obvious to all. It was already incredible that Lu Jin could barely resist him previously, but now, he was evenly matched with the Goblin King in a head-on clash. If news of that were to spread back to the City of Light, no one would believe

it.

Dungeons were definitely nightmare-like existences. It could even be said that they were more troublesome than the Regional Dungeons themselves.

Two hundred years ago, when the world was not shrouded in mist, it was not a big deal when people were defeated in Regional Dungeons. They could defeat the Regional Overlords in the Regional Dungeons by replenishing their lives. They could think of ways to raid the Regional Dungeons and unlock the level restrictions. Hence, many players unlocked the level restrictions of Regional Dungeons 200 years ago. At the beginning of the mist, everyone could travel freely to and from major cities.

However, 200 years later, the mist had enveloped the entire world. The first batch of people had long since died. Furthermore, no one dared to deal with the Regional Overlords using the method of replenishing their lives, because no one dared to risk their lives.

If there was really someone who could fight against the Regional Overlord of the Regional Dungeons, then it would no longer be a problem to unlock the level restrictions of the various Regional Dungeons around the city in the future. It would no longer be a dream to recreate the brilliance of the mist.

Thanks to Lu Jin, the Fantasy Light Group would be able to travel freely to the surrounding cities in the future, and they would no longer have to worry about anything. They would also not have to consume large amounts of memory fragments and manpower for each transportation, which would greatly reduce the cost of transportation.

At that time, the entire City of Light, be it the major groups, or the Sun and Moon Group, or the Daytime Group, would not be able to compete with them.

That way, in the future, just relying on transportation alone, the Fantasy Light Group would probably be able to sit firmly on the throne of the top three groups in the City of Light, and it would definitely be the top group that could not be shaken.

After Lu Jin’s breakthrough, he turned to look at Su Tongwei and Xu Xiaotian and said, “You all assist me at the critical moment later. I’ll be the main attacker!”

“Understood!” Su Tongwei and Xu Xiaotian nodded with unprecedented seriousness.

Previously, the three of them were barely able to withstand the Goblin King’s attack. Now, Lu Jin was able to fight equally. What they needed was to break the balance and give Lu Jin a chance to attack so that he could gain the upper hand in that battle.

After confirming that the two of them had understood his intention, Lu Jin turned his gaze toward the Goblin King. He took a deep breath and dashed forward abruptly.

Aurora!

The moment he reached the Goblin King, he executed a five-hit combo that forced the Goblin King to block with his blade. Su Tongwei and Xu Xiaotian naturally wouldn’t let that opportunity slip by. They attacked the Goblin King from both sides. One of them slashed the Goblin King’s arm while the other slashed its leg, causing some damage to it.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

The Goblin King was enraged. It had actually been attacked at close range. Then, it was about to swing its blade at the two of them.

However, Lu Jin did not give the Goblin King a chance at all. He used the five-hit Aurora combo again to block the Goblin King’s sweeping attack, which allowed Su Tongwei and Xu Xiaotian to narrowly avoid the Goblin King’s further pursuit.

When the Goblin King was about to chase after Lu Jin, Su Tongwei and Xu Xiaotian took turns to defend Lu Jin, which gave him a chance to hit the Goblin King with the Aurora.

For a moment, the Goblin King was completely suppressed by Lu Jin and the two. Moreover, with the damage that Lu Jin had dealt, the speed of depletion of the Goblin King’s memory fragments was greatly increased.

In less than a minute, less than 30% of the Goblin King’s memory fragments remained.

At that moment, the Goblin King suddenly roared. Its skin turned dark red, and the long blade in its hand turned blood red.

“This is not good! The Overlord is going into Boss Mode!” Su Tongwei looked at the Goblin King, who had suddenly changed form, and her expression turned solemn. “Everyone, leave quickly!”

In Fantasy World, any Boss would go into Boss Mode when their memory fragments were about to be completely depleted. Once they went into Boss Mode, they would start to use their Boss skills frantically.

However, all skills had a duration of usage and a cooldown time. Usually, as long as the Boss’ skills were used up, players could continue fighting

“No! Everyone, go all-out!” Lu Jin suddenly shouted.

If it was any other Regional Overlord, it would be best to wait until the skill was used up before they continued to fight. However, the Goblin King was different. The Goblin King’s single-target killing ability was extremely powerful. There was no point in dispersing. They would only be killed one by one.

“Continue fighting?” Su Tongwei looked at Lu Jin in confusion.

However, Lu Jin did not bother to explain further. Instead, he took out an item card from this backpack, which was also the only Rare item card he had obtained from the Item Lottery – the Lockdown Card. It could restrain the target for up to 20 seconds. The cooldown time was one minute and it could only be used three times.

“Bind!” Lu Jin immediately activated the Lockdown card.

As the Goblin King was preparing to brandish its longsword, dark chains appeared under its feet. The Goblin King was bound in place and could not move.

“What a powerful binding tool!” Su Tongwei looked at the Goblin King, who could not move, and could not help but click her tongue.

Normal binding tools could not bind Regional Overlords. Or rather, they could be broken instantly. However, the chains that appeared could immobilize the Goblin King. There was probably no such binding tool in the entire City of Light.

“Go!”

Lu Jin saw that the Goblin King could not move and rushed forward.

Aurora!

The five sword rays struck the Goblin King’s vital point, which caused the Goblin King’s memory fragments to deplete significantly.

Su Tongwei and Xu Xiaotian followed closely behind. They did not hold anything back and used their trump cards. The Thunder Enchantment Scroll and the Intermediate Weapon-Strengthening Card increased their attack power by a large margin, and they were not much weaker than Lu Jin.

Three seconds… Five seconds… Ten seconds…

Time passed by one second after another. Lu Jin and the rest attacked the Goblin King’s vital point frantically to maximize the damage.

23%… 15%… 8%…

When there was only 2% left, the Goblin King broke free from the chains and used its Frenzied Sword. It planned to slash the ground to send a shockwave that would kill Lu Jin and the two.

“Die!”

Lu Jin did not dare to hold anything back and immediately used this Magical skill, Absolute Nihility, which sliced across the Goblin King’s neck.

Sizzle!

Blood suddenly dyed the sky, and the last 2% of the Goblin King’s memory fragments were completely depleted. Countless stars appeared as its body dissipated before everyone’s eyes.
