197: Chapter 196: Initial Victory 197: Chapter 196: Initial Victory [Splash]LV1

A group attack skill that, once triggered, creates three illusions in a single magic attack, inflicting 50% of the main body’s attack.

Recovering time –10 seconds.

“Bang Bang Bang!”

With the Illusion Demon Stone Sword in hand, Su Ran’s magic attack was too sharp.

After hitting several players, their blood levels dropped rapidly.

“-265” “-152” “-160” “-165”

“Hiss…

Such a strong attack!”

The affected players showed shocked expressions.

The fireball could cause 265 damage if it hit the shield warrior.

They didn’t break 400 in basic damage?

Not to mention, a mutated Bone Bear was also there!

“Run!”

The team leader made a quick decision, commanding the team to abandon the two monsters and try to climb up from the pit.

If they couldn’t manage to defeat them, preserving their lives was the most important thing now!

Just at that moment, the Dark Bone Bear woke from its daze, Roared loudly and attacked the nearest shield warrior.

The warrior, unable to react quickly enough, was thrown to the ground.

The bear grabbed his chest with its claws, exerting a force that suggested it was about to tear him apart!

Single attack skill, Bear Claw Tear!

The shield warrior player, who had never experienced such a scene, was terrified.

He held his shield up against his chest, hoping to block the vicious Bone Bear’s blow.

“Thinking of running?”

Su Ran let out a sly grin.

These level 30 or so players were too weak!

He glanced at the shield warrior pinned under the Dark Bone Bear and let out a soft laugh.

“I’ll start with you!”

Upon his command, a paper flame magically turned into a fireball and struck above the shield warrior’s body.

“Boom!”

The shield warrior, who was fiercely resisting, was in agony.

His only thought now was to use his shield to throw off the Bone Bear on top of him and escape from this disaster area!

Unfortunately, Su Ran’s paper flame was too fierce.

In no time, the shield warrior player’s blood level cleared, and he dropped his shield out of exhaustion.

“Silver equipment!”

Su Ran’s eyes gleamed, and he quickly stored the shield in his bladder, that was a good start!

Next, Su Ran shifted his focus to the players trying to climb out of the pit.

“Phew, we’re far enough away now, should have lost their aggro!” The fire mage said to his two teammates.

He finally felt relieved.

“That damn bitch, she dared lie to us.

The skeleton boss was never sealed!

And she talked about an advanced treasure chest, bullshit!” the berserker cursed while climbing up, his heart burning with anger.

“When we’ve escaped, we’ll throw her back down.

Let her deal with the boss and the treasure chest herself!”

“It’s a shame about our teammate.

He died.” a hint of sorrow passed through the fire mage’s eyes.

“This Rebirth Gate plot is so peculiar.

Whether it’s a blessing or a curse, we can’t escape it.

If we get any benefits later, he gets a share!”

“Watch your back!”

The berserker player shouted to the fire mage, and suddenly pushed him away.

The fire mage let out a scream as he tumbled down into the pit.

Immediately after, a fiercely incoming fireball hit the rock wall where the fire mage had been moments before, stirring up a cloud of dust.

“Dammit!

I used too much force!”

The berserker regretted his actions.

The two climbed out of the pit with great effort and finally escaped.

After enduring through that heart-racing scene, the two had no energy left and collapsed on the ground.

All of a sudden.

A huge force attacked from behind.

The two unfortunate players had no defence and were thrown back into the pit and landed on the ground.

“Pfft, what a pitiful display.

Four of you went down, and only two came back up.

Go on, just die down there!”

The one speaking was the female player, Sister Qing, who had led Su Ran and another player to this place.

“Heh heh, even in death, those two could contribute two bodies.

Let’s go, Little Qing, reel in some more male players.

We’ll finish this task in no time!” A shield warrior at her side grinned, addressing her with a smirk.

“Who knows what kind of good stuff we might get…

we have to pile up ten bodies, and they have to die in the pit.

So freaking hard to pull off!” Sister Qing grumbled impatiently.

“We’re already at seven bodies, aren’t we?

Bring in another squad, and the mission’s done!” The shield warrior looked delightfully at Sister Qing, apparently anticipating the rewards after completing the mission.

“Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

The skeleton down in the pit is a weirdo, judging by the task it issued.

Sometimes it dictates we kill it, sometimes it wants ten bodies.

Once we complete the mission, it has to cough up a Rebirth Gold Bar for me.

I have to open that mysterious box!”

“Alright, alright, my queen, please proceed to the entrance, and reel in some young men, will you~?”

…

In the abyss, Su Ran had just killed a firecaster.

Just when he was about to attack the two fighters on the opposite wall, he found to his dismay, monsters had respawned in the abyss!

“Squeak squeak!”

A dozen or so burrow rats the size of Tibetan mastiffs appeared.

They stared directly at Su Ran, and once they identified the intruder, they pounced on him ferociously.

“Damn it, so many rats.

Hold on, hold on, let’s fight when I’ve put some distance between us!”

Panicked, Su Ran quickly retreated deeper into the abyss.

He fully understood that with his low health and defense, these burrow rats could finish him off in no time.

Fortunately, Su Ran was faster than the burrow rats, and he had a Dark Bone Bear blocking for him, which earned him some breathing space and a temporary reprieve from danger.

“Boom, boom!”

With two earth-shattering sounds, two players fell and hit the ground, drawing the attention of several burrow rats.

“That damned woman, I better not run into her again!

Oh, my ass~!”

“Damn, why did so many rats respawn?”

To their astonishment, the two players found the environment had shifted dramatically after their repeated entries.

The Skeleton Boss with sharp attacks and the Dark Bone Bear were absent.

Instead, plenty of burrow rats were scurrying around.

Had they fallen into a rat’s nest?

“Disgusting!

Get lost!” the berserker yelled and swung his sword at a burrow rat in front of him, sending it flying.

But the rest of the rats, unfazed by their comrade’s plight, charged fearlessly at the two humans.

Off in the distance, Su Ran was busy dealing with the frenzied burrow rats.

With a flicker of purple flame in his hand, he hurled it onto the ground.

A dragon of fire surged upward, enveloping all burrow rats.

Taking advantage of the rats’ momentary entrapment, Su Ran continuously activated his paper-burning skill, throwing the burning papers at those burrow rats.

The Dark Bone Bear also roared loudly, releasing shockwaves towards those burrow rats.

Special Ability: Bear Roar Wave!

“Seems like the Bear Roar Wave under Blood Attack’s buff is more lethal than my splash damage.

My burning papers can only instantly kill four, while this skill can wipe out a herd at once!” Su Ran commented admiringly.

However, he forgot about his Netherworld Purple Fire, a group attacking technique that had proven effective in previous uses.

…

“Hey, did you hear that?

Was that a bear’s roar?”

“Right, I was wondering about it, too.

The map didn’t change.

The maniacal Skeleton Boss was driven away by these burrow rats!” the berserker said in bewilderment as he kept fighting off the burrow rats.

“Monsters fight each other too?”

“Who knows?

Is there anything this game can’t do?”

“It may be some racial hostility.

Who cares?

Where there’s fighting, there’s profit for us.

After we finish off these rats, we should go check it out!” The warrior player got excited, fighting the burrow rats with renewed vigor.

“Heh, if we can benefit from this, I would genuinely have to thank that woman’s eight generations of ancestors!”

“We should hurry.

We can’t afford to miss this opportunity!”

At this moment, their two dead companions staggered back onto their feet.

Their eyes were vacant, and they ignored the two players nearby, lurching forward instead.
