Chapter 268: The Killing Blow
The wooden door creaked. The young lady showed herself through the door, her elegance and charm now dyed in not only anger but also sorrow from seeing her fellow villagers fall one after another.
Chau Yu frowned. Stay inside, theyre after you.
She shook her head and said, No, I am one with the village.
Tigeroars eyes glowed at the sight of the young lady; not because of her beauty though, unlike Lothbrok. At a single glance, he knew she was their target. He gave a signal with his hand to his rear.
Now!
Rah!
Various berserker buffs activated on Tigeroar as he howled. Attack, Critical Chance, Attack Speed, and most importantly, Feral Song.
Active skill of the epic set Feral Rage, Feral Song: Lowers Attack of all enemies within a hundred metres for 1 minute. Cooldown: 6 hours.
Tigeroars explosive growth in strength startled Yim Ho. Such was the power of berserkerstheir explosiveness in strength within a short time frame was the best among all basic classes.
Yim Ho morphed into his bird form and flew into the air to evade Tigeroars attacks. Behind Tigeroar, his shadow suddenly flickered.
Did the shadow just move? Yim Ho was rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasnt hallucinating when he felt a sharp pain in his back.
What?!
A splendid figure of a woman holding a palm-sized dagger in hand appeared behind him. Pulchritureshe had been lurking within Tigeroars shadow the entire time! She had gained a skill called Shadow Elusion from an encounter quest. Unlike ordinary lurking, even detection skills cannot detect her presence when Shadow Elusion was active. Pulchriture was Tigeroars best weapon of assassination.
Backstab dealt percentage damage instead when lurking. In order to turn herself into a one-hit-kill machine, all of Pulchritures equipment increased critical chance and critical damage. To top it all off, she had the Level 30 assassin skill, All-out Strike, which dealt bonus damage by consuming thirty per cent of ones Health. It was one of the most powerful single-target burst skills assassins had, but it could only be used when the caster was lurking.
With everything combined, Yim Hos Health took a plunge to zero and he was gone in a flash of white. Even Chau Yu and Greenstone, two top support players in the game, couldnt react in time to save him.
Once Yim Ho was out of the way, Tigeroar stormed forth. Pulchriture also vanished immediately after killing Yim Ho.
Whats happening?
Someones invading! Hes quick! Hes here! the female exclaimed in terror and disbelief.
Before she could finish the word here, a tiny spot of silver emerged on the map of blue circuits across the room. It was smaller than a fingernail, but it instantly gathered their attention.
Waves of light spread out from the silver dot like a ripple. With shocking speed, the ripples of silver spanned across the entire room, seemingly in search of something. Everything came to a momentary halt when a ripple encountered the red spot where the intense battle was taking place.
The silver spot flashed, then travelled towards the red spot at lightning speed.
Bloodless Bladester chuckled bitterly; his Health was nearing zero.
He had to use his last Blood Shadow to dodge A Man Like Winds shot, but Pulchriture hid in the shots shadow and lunged from the ground, burying her dagger into his chest. She was as calm as butchering an animal despite delivering a fatal blow; Bloodless Bladester turned into a flash of white and vanished.
Tigeroars muscles were all bulging up as all the buffs granted him unimaginable strength. He shouted, Break apart!
The godly purple ray that had never failed Chau Yu was shattered by sheer force. Tigeroar carried through with his momentum and continued his charge at the mysterious lady.
Drako Yau cursed and hurried over right away. He couldnt care less about the annoying bosses on his tail now, but he was still a step too late.
Greenstone was the closest defender, yet Tigeroar had taken him into account already. With a flick of his finger, Tigeroar sent his white tiger, which materialised out of thin air, to attack Greenstone.
Greenstone dodged the tigers lunge with an agile step, but the attack wasnt meant to kill him anyway. It had succeeded in delaying him.
The black-haired lady showed no signs of fear. She stared straight at the incoming greatsword with determined eyes.
Before the greatsword reached her, the breeze it carried blew her hair into a rowdy mess behind her. As her wavy hair fluttered, the resolute and unbothered look on her face was ever so noticeable. To her, death was nothing to be feared of.
Die! Tigeroar howled.
