LWGP - Chapter 181
Chapter 181: Fallen
The Heavenly Thunderfall Art arrived!
As the meteor-like thunder fell, Wang Jiu didn't even have time to escape before she was completely bombarded by the circular lightning array. The lightning struck her barrier, and a massive amount of electricity crawled over it, hindering her evasion.
Lightning was an extremely formidable attribute, combining both attack and a slowing debuff. With her speed reduced, Wang Jiu's throat was met by the edge of a sword.
Clang!! The barrier took the damage head-on, trembling several times. Wang Jiu was forced back several steps, and before she could steady herself, the sword's edge, capable of severing rivers, came at her again.
The condensed, sharp gleam of that sword strike amplified its cutting edge, and its momentum was immense. It struck the barrier again, hitting the exact same spot as before, increasing the damage.
This time, Wang Jiu retreated again, but the Heavenly Wolf Chief was fast, with a high attack frequency. Its third attack was already on its way.
The sword rose, splitting into numerous sharp, small swords of golden light that shot out from all directions.
The lethality was terrifying. Just then, a flash of black light came from underground, and Bai Bai shot out. Its fox claws swatted away several of the sword lights. Its fluffy fur acted like conductive wires, attracting a large area of lightning from the ground. It also cast two or three buffing, speed-enhancing, and armor-boosting skills on Wang Jiu.
With the effects of the lightning weakened, Wang Jiu used Shadow Step to dodge away, jumped onto her flying device, and pulled away into the sky, attacking the Heavenly Wolf Chief from high above.
She had the advantage, an absolute advantage!
The Heavenly Wolf Chief had used the Thunderfall Art precisely to stop Wang Jiu from taking to the sky, but it was thwarted by this... what was this thing? "Where did this big fat coal ball come from? You're courting death!" the Heavenly Wolf Chief cursed angrily. Bai Bai, who had been cautiously drawing the lightning, froze for a moment. It suddenly realized it was being insulted and immediately exploded with rage.
It was a beauty among the high-class fox race! Its fur was glossy and sleek, its movements more graceful than snow, its figure elegant. And now it was being reduced to being called a big fat coal ball?
"You're the coal ball! You're a stinky, skinny dog in a shell," Bai Bai retorted furiously.
The Heavenly Wolf Chief's expression darkened. It summoned lightning and swept it across. Seeing this, Bai Bai immediately burrowed into the ground as if flying.
It cursed as it burrowed.
"You damn Ancestral Grandma, you go up into the sky and just ignore me! It insulted me! Am I part of your family or not? Aren't you going to react at all?!!"
Wang Jiu's reaction was to throw attacks.
Alright, it wasn't exactly a comforting response, but taking action was better than just talking.
Bai Bai quickly interpreted Wang Jiu's actions as a sign of affection and was immediately energized, launching a frenzy of attacks from underground.
One was underground, the other in the sky—both were places the Heavenly Wolf Chief couldn't reach. This enraged the Heavenly Wolf Chief, but it was helpless. With a roar, it could only furiously attack its surroundings. The Undead Race suffered for it, getting wiped out in a large circle, as defenseless as tofu.
Wang Jiu and Bai Bai had adopted a sneaky kiting strategy. The Heavenly Wolf Chief wasn't stupid; it knew they wanted to wear down its health. While slaughtering everything around it, its gaze swept over the area and suddenly locked onto the territory barrier.
Bai Bai panicked when it saw the direction it was moving. "Ancestral Grandma, Ancestral Grandma, it's going for your nest! Why don't you recall this mystic realm BOSS?"
Wang Jiu: "I can't. The system notified me that a BOSS formed from 100 mystic realm fragments is already a high-level BOSS. Unless it willingly returns, it cannot be forcibly recalled."
In the System's words: Do you think it's some rabbit spirit? To be released and recalled at will? It's a high-level BOSS. It just replied with a single word: Scram!
Bai Bai: "…"
The settings are a bit disgusting, huh. The planners of this Dog System are hitting new lows every day.
If it couldn't be recalled, it had to be killed.
Seeing the Heavenly Wolf Chief running toward the territory barrier, Wang Jiu didn't panic. She and Bai Bai continued to attack it from behind. Unable to get a handle on them, the Heavenly Wolf Chief charged directly toward the main territory.
Seeing it approach, many people on the city wall panicked. Just as they were about to ask how to respond, they saw twenty people take flight.
Actually, it wasn't them flying, but the flying pets beneath their feet.
After killing the twenty people from Nightless Territory, the resources arrived in Wang Jiu's mailbox. Wang Jiu immediately pulled out twenty flying pets and gave them to the twenty people with the highest combat power.
Then, these twenty people waited for the Heavenly Wolf Chief to approach, took to the sky, and launched a group attack from above.
After all, these were twenty individuals with combat power approaching 3,000. After their ranged attacks rained down from the sky, the Heavenly Wolf Chief's path was blocked, and it was filled with rage.
More people in the sky!!
It was about to continue forward, but Wang Jiu suddenly jumped down. This time, with Lin Guiwan and the others providing support from the sky, she dared to land and fight it head-on.
At the same time, Bai Bai also leaped out from the ground.
Twenty-one people plus one fox surrounded the Heavenly Wolf Chief. They only launched the first wave to hold it back for a moment. Xie Lu and the others flew off to another side, leaving only Lin Guiwan, a powerful healer, to support Wang Jiu.
The rest targeted the seven Four-Directions Corpses and the lesser Heavenly wolves that were fighting amongst themselves.
Because they had been killing each other, their health bars were low. The group went over to deliver the finishing blows, especially to the seven Four-Directions Corpses.
The others on the Gobi Territory's wall continued to deal with the remaining Undead Race.
Wang Shu calculated, "There are still twenty-two thousand of them! But the barrier only has 47% health left."
It wasn't that he was discouraged, but that he was facing reality and preparing for what was to come.
"This is already great, keep fighting!"
"Once the Lord and the others finish off that BOSS, the situation will get better."
"The 20 from Nightless Territory are dead, the Little Corpse King is dead, what's there to be afraid of? Let's just do it!"
The situation was tense, but not without hope. On the contrary, the repeated reversals and counterattacks had made everyone infinitely optimistic and motivated. They all felt that as long as they suppressed the damage from the Undead Race and waited for Wang Jiu's group to be free, how could they possibly lose this battle?
"Brothers, think about the benefits from the rat tide! If we can just get through this, we'll strike it rich!"
"Right, right, resources are gained through risk! Let's do it!"
While everyone's morale was high, some of the lower-level residents inside Gobi Territory skillfully delivered food and supplies to replenish stamina to the city wall. Some were even selling potions.
There was no helping it. Gobi Territory always had things happening. A rat tide? It was the first to get hit. An invasion by the Nightless? It was the damn first again. The old men and women were all used to it.
The supplies kept coming. Using consumed resources to gain even more resources—Wang Jiu didn't even need to call for it. If people couldn't even see this and just sat around waiting for others to protect them, they would never improve in the future. They would be no different from trash and could naturally be discarded.
That's why she never liked to talk nonsense. Join or don't, she didn't care.
Now, with Lin Guiwan's support, Wang Jiu finally dared to fight the Heavenly Wolf Chief head-on.
Logically, the Heavenly Wolf Chief's current attributes were far higher than Wang Jiu's. Even if she could tank the damage with her barrier, her strength shouldn't be enough. How could she be dealing such obvious damage to it?
Its health was dropping, not quickly, but noticeably.
"Is her critical damage that strong? It would have to be 1000% critical damage to cause that kind of harm."
"Impossible. That's way too high. Maybe it's another attribute, like armor penetration."
In truth, it was the power of Universe Reversal. It was too strong, giving Wang Jiu the ability to fight a stronger opponent. However, this battle was still very difficult.
Only a few minutes passed before Wang Jiu's barrier was about to collapse. With Lin Guiwan's support, Wang Jiu used Shadow Step and simultaneously activated the Trickery and Chameleon badges. After disengaging, she immediately used three thousand spirit power to repair the barrier, then used it again and resumed fighting.
Fighting a BOSS was a delicate and dangerous process. When the enemy was strong and you were weak, taking them down was no less difficult than pulling a tiger's tooth. The kind of simple-minded protagonist in novels or TV shows who suddenly encounters a BOSS and defeats it through sheer dumb luck before finding a treasure… it wasn't impossible for such lucky darlings to exist, but most relied on two more stable paths.
1. Cultivate until you are stronger than the opponent.
2. Have better skills than the opponent.
One had to know that even a cheater like Wang Shu didn't dare to rely on luck, always fighting cautiously. Wang Jiu was even more so. That's why, even when faced with great danger, she could always turn the tables—because she lay in wait, because she was cautious, and because she was ruthless.
Just like now. When the Heavenly Wolf Chief's health bar dropped to 30%, it entered a weakened state. At that exact moment, Xie Lu and the others had finished clearing out the low-health Four-Directions Corpses and the lesser Heavenly wolves. They timed their return perfectly to group-attack the Heavenly Wolf Chief.
The reason they hadn't focused their attacks on the Heavenly Wolf Chief before was that the power difference was too great. Their attacks couldn't even break its defense, so fighting it was pointless and a waste of spirit power. Thus, they had switched targets. But now that the Heavenly Wolf Chief was in a weakened state, its armor and stamina were greatly reduced. Their chance had come.
Everyone, along with Wang Jiu and Bai Bai, attacked together. In one go, just one, its health dropped from 30% to 14%.
"Get ready, it's almost at 10%!"
"It's about to go berserk."
At 10%, the Heavenly Wolf Chief's body suddenly grew three or four times stronger. Towering and powerful, it was exceptionally conspicuous on the battlefield. It let out a roar and, with an ultimate sword formation, charged toward Wang Jiu…
Swoosh. Wang Jiu had already shot up into the sky. She looked back to see Bai Bai slip into the ground with a zip.
This damn, damn…!
The Heavenly Wolf Chief was incomparably furious. Its roar was like a sonic attack, instantly annihilating a large group of the surrounding Undead Race. However, it wasn't completely helpless against Wang Jiu. It raised its hand and summoned an even more terrifying group-attack Thunderfall Art.
Unfortunately for it, Wang Jiu had already used the Demon's Eye to see through its post-berserk attributes and skills. Seeing the upgraded skill properties, she informed everyone of its AoE range.
Since they knew the range, they naturally had to dodge. Not only did they dodge, but they also lured the other Undead Race members into it…
Boom, boom. The lightning was vast, bolt after bolt bombarding the ground below.
Several thousand of the Undead Race were instantly struck dead by the lightning.
It missed its enemies and ended up killing its enemies' enemies. No matter how high the Heavenly Wolf Chief's intelligence was, it was still enraged. To make matters worse, Wang Jiu was still in the sky, madly throwing attacks downward.
It was tough to fight after it went berserk, but she chipped away at its health bar bit by bit.
It took a full fifteen minutes to get it from 10% to 2%. Perhaps seeing no hope, the Heavenly Wolf Chief acted ruthlessly, charging toward the territory barrier.
"Fuck, this dog thing is probably going to self-destruct!"
"The territory barrier only has 30% health left!"
The berserk Heavenly Wolf Chief was too strong. It rushed in front of the territory barrier and raised its longsword… Wang Jiu and Bai Bai appeared from behind and struck with all their might, holding nothing back. Even Bai Bai used every last ounce of its strength.
2% - 0%.
Wiped out. It was finally dead. But as the Heavenly Wolf Chief fell, its sword had already struck the territory barrier.
Bang!! The territory barrier trembled. It was a massive critical hit that multiplied the damage several times over!!
This???
30% - 25%.
