Chapter 1 Unexpected Beginning

The Kobold Leader, severely injured by Shi Feng's surprise attack, was furious, the blood flowing from its wounds turning into a stimulant.

It raised its giant axe, taller than a man, and relentlessly attacked Shi Feng, again and again.

Before, the Kobold Leader hadn't reacted to Shi Feng's sneak attack, only instinctively attacking, so the attacks weren't fierce. But now, the attack speed and power were on a completely different level. Each attack cracked the ground, sending debris flying. Axe after axe, continuous and unrelenting, leaving no room to breathe.

The Kobold Leader's frantic attacks would instantly kill even a level 5 Shield Warrior or Protection Knight.

Shi Feng could only retreat constantly. Under such a fierce barrage, he didn't have the slightest chance to counterattack. He also had to dodge the flying rubble, which, despite being called rubble, was the size of a fist, and being hit would cause significant damage.

The man and beast exchanged blows at lightning speed. An ordinary person wouldn't even be able to withstand a single attack before being split in two by the giant axe, beyond dead.

"Heizi, attack it quickly! I can't hold on much longer."

Shi Feng had been dodging for seven or eight seconds. Seeing that Heizi still hadn't attacked, he shouted.

He was facing a Leader boss, not an Elite minion. A Leader boss's attack patterns weren't as monotonous as an Elite's; they were varied and would even target players, possessing intelligence. Combined with strength two to three times that of an Elite, they were over four times stronger overall.

Just seven or eight seconds felt like several minutes. Just blocking the attacks and occasionally retaliating had already reduced his health by over 100. At this rate, his health would soon drop to zero.

If Shi Feng weren't wielding the Famed Sword Abyss, which greatly increased his stats, and had all three hidden basic melee skills activated, allowing him to continuously display extraordinary attacks and dodges, he would have been dead long ago.

"Oh, Brother Feng, I'll help you now." Realizing his mistake, Heizi hurriedly waved his staff, chanting an incantation, and unleashed an Shadow Arrow at the Kobold Leader.

The Shadow Arrow struck the Kobold Leader's body, dealing only 17 points of damage.

Seeing this damage, Heizi's mouth hung open in astonishment at the Leader monster's defense. He knew that his attacks on level 5 monsters could deal over 50 points of damage, but now it was directly reduced by a third. This showed how astonishing the Leader monster's defense was, while Shi Feng could deal over 100 damage. What kind of attack power was that?

In the midst of battle, Shi Feng suddenly swung Abyss.

Slash!

A black flash drilled into the Kobold Leader's attack gap.

With a bang, Shi Feng staggered back three steps before steadying himself, taking over 30 points of damage. The Kobold Leader's giant axe simply swayed, pausing slightly.

"It works! Looks like my strength is barely enough." Shi Feng was satisfied with this attack.

In God's Domain battles, players could not only defend and dodge against monsters, but also interrupt their attacks, causing them to pause briefly and stopping their offensive. This was a very advanced combat technique, which only became popular half a year after the opening of God's Domain, especially in Boss battles. If the MT (Main Tank) hadn't learned this technique, the result would be a wipe, because no player could withstand the Boss's frantic continuous attacks.

This momentary pause exposed an opening in the Kobold Leader.

Shi Feng charged forward without hesitation, concentrating all his strength in his right hand, gripping Abyss tightly and swinging it continuously.

Four sword flashes struck the unprotected flesh.

With the damage amplification effect, it directly took away nearly 300 of the Kobold Leader's health. Combined with Heizi's output, the Kobold Leader's health was reduced to just over 900 points.

"Aooo!" The Kobold Leader began to go berserk, throwing its giant axe aside and drawing two large sabers from its waist.

The change in weapons also changed the Kobold Leader's attack pattern.

If the Kobold Leader with the giant axe was a Berserker, then the Kobold Leader with dual blades was a Dual Swordsman, combining strength and agility, no longer using brute force to crush everything.

The attack patterns of the two sabers were no longer monotonous, and the attack speed was greatly increased. Shi Feng had just dodged one saber when another followed, forcing him to hurriedly block with Abyss.

The blades clashed, sparking dazzlingly, and Shi Feng was sent flying.

Before landing in mid-air, Shi Feng saw the Kobold Leader leap with all its might, raising its sabers high for a head-on strike.

"Going all out?" Shi Feng was shocked and hurriedly used Abyss to block.

Parry!

Boom!

Abyss blocked the sabers, but he was sent crashing to the ground like a falling meteor. Just when he thought the Kobold Leader's attack should be over, the Kobold Leader descended from the sky, stabbing down with both sabers, targeting his chest.

Unable to move, Shi Feng had no way to avoid the attack.

"Phantom Kill!"

Instantly, a clone of Shi Feng appeared three yards away. In a flash of lightning, he swapped places with the clone.

The Kobold Leader landed, its sabers stabbing into the clone's chest. The clone's health was draining rapidly, losing over 300 health points in an instant.

Just as the Kobold Leader revealed a delighted laugh, Shi Feng appeared behind it, Abyss emitting a faint black light.

Nine Dragons Slash!

Nine phantoms of Abyss appeared, floating silently in mid-air, surrounding Shi Feng.

Although Shi Feng couldn't fully control the nine swords, using them for simple attacks was still possible.

Swish, swish, swish...

The nine Abyss swords danced continuously, like playful sprites, constantly piercing the Kobold Leader's body.

Small numbers of over ten points floated up one after another. Although the damage was low, there were many of them. Combined with Shi Feng's Slash and normal attacks, the Kobold Leader's health dropped to just over 500.

Seeing that the Kobold Leader was about to turn around, Shi Feng didn't dare give it a chance to counterattack and directly used Abyss Shackles, immobilizing it for three seconds and reducing its defense by 100%.

In a battle where death could come in the blink of an eye, three seconds was enough to rewrite the ending.

The Kobold Leader was bound by black chains from the abyss, unable to move. The nine Abyss swords attacked continuously, dealing damage of over twenty points each time, causing its health to plummet. Before long, it was left with just over 200 health.

"Awoo!" The Kobold Leader roared furiously and went completely berserk, its size doubling.

Shi Feng saw that the three seconds were up. A completely berserk Kobold Leader was no joke; its strength would increase by at least 30%.

But all his attack and life-saving skills were on cooldown.

The Kobold Leader seemed to see Shi Feng's predicament, a hint of mockery appearing on its kobold face. It suddenly slashed at Shi Feng with both sabers, the speed as fast as arrows.

In the nick of time, Shi Feng caught sight of a newly spawned Kobold Miner out of the corner of his eye.

He directly activated Gravity Liberation and used Wind Chaser.

In a flash of lightning, he dodged the dual saber slashes and rushed in front of the Kobold Miner.

"Aooo!" The Kobold Leader watched as the about-to-die Shi Feng actually dodged the attack. Its thick thighs slammed into the ground as it rushed toward Shi Feng.

Heizi's spine went cold watching Shi Feng's battle, but the incantation in his mouth never stopped. One Shadow Arrow after another shot out, but the Kobold Leader's speed was too fast, making it difficult to hit. Fortunately, there was a distance of over 20 yards, and it would take time for the Kobold Leader to catch up with Shi Feng. During this time, the attacks from the nine Abyss swords might just take it down.

But both Shi Feng and Heizi underestimated the Kobold Leader's explosiveness. Not only did its strength and defense greatly increase, but even its agility was greatly improved.

It covered the distance of over 20 yards in less than two seconds.

It raised its sabers high and swung them down with force.

The Kobold Miner in front of Shi Feng was split in two, and a rain of blood fell within a radius of five yards. The saber just grazed Shi Feng's cheek, nearly costing him his life.

Seeing that the Kobold Leader was about to swing the next saber, Shi Feng raised Abyss in his hand with force, and three bolts of lightning pierced the Kobold Leader's body, taking away its last 130 health points.

Seeing the Kobold Leader finally fall, Shi Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

This Leader monster was too strong. Even if he were level 5 and wearing a full set of bronze equipment, he would be finished. Being able to kill it was really luck. Compared to the level two Wind Lightning Flash, the level four Wind Lightning Flash had a cooldown time of only 24 seconds, which happened to be just right to end the cooldown. Otherwise, he would have been the one to die.

System: Killed level 5 Kobold Leader, killed monster 5 levels higher, experience gained increased by 500%, gained 2350 experience points.

Shi Feng directly leveled up to level 1, 76%.

System: Congratulations on becoming the first player in God's Domain to kill a Leader monster. Kobold Leader's dropped items increased by 200%, Star-Moon Kingdom's reputation increased by 10 points.

Suddenly, the Kobold Leader's body began to swell, growing larger and larger. Finally, with a boom, its entire body exploded, scattering a large pile of items.
