Chapter 18 Killing the Crystal War Wolf

Shi Feng had just been blasted to the ground when the Crystal War Wolf was upon him like a whirlwind, its three blood-reeking maws snapping down.

"Guild Leader!" exclaimed Fire Dance, as she darted forward, landing a Three-Star Kidney Shot on the Crystal War Wolf.

However, the stun skill Kidney Shot was useless against the berserk Crystal War Wolf.

Just as his head was about to be bitten off, Shi Feng crossed his swords in a parry at the critical moment.

Bang!

The ground beneath Shi Feng's feet shattered.

"Its power is quite substantial," Shi Feng said with a wry smile.

Although the Parry skill could defend against one instance of physical damage, it couldn't negate the impact of the force.

Without a healer in the group, he would be instantly killed if hit just once more with his low health.

Based on the force, Shi Feng roughly understood how strong the Crystal War Wolf was after its berserk transformation. Its strength hadn't increased much, but its speed had increased by at least 30%.

Perhaps only equipping the Heavenly Dragon's Holy Breath could give him a chance to compete; otherwise, he would only be abused.

Unfortunately, 200 points of Agility were easy to achieve, but 120 points of Intelligence were difficult for a Swordsman like Shi Feng to obtain. Furthermore, Swordsman plate armor that added Intelligence was exceedingly rare, and almost all of it was trash gear.

After failing in its attack, the Crystal War Wolf turned, its diamond-like tail lashing over like a whip.

With Parry still on cooldown, Shi Feng could only activate his life-saving ultimate skill, Sword’s Orbit.

The current level of Sword’s Orbit was Level 4, allowing him to be immune to nine ranged attacks and four melee attacks.

He then raised Abyssal Blade high, arcs of azure lightning crackling around the blade, and met the Crystal War Wolf's gleaming claws.

Wind Lightning Flash!

The Sword’s Orbit skill provided complete immunity, both to damage and impact.

This was one of the Swordsman’s basic combat techniques.

First, use Parry to judge the enemy's battle power, and then use Sword’s Orbit for defense. This was why Shi Feng used Parry first—to determine the Crystal War Wolf's battle power and make the best judgment.

Shi Feng concluded that he had to fight it head-on; running would only lead to a quicker death.

The azure lightning pierced through the Crystal War Wolf's body, dealing -572, -1623, and -1204 damage. Although luck was average and it only crit once, it also triggered the Doom Curse of Abyssal Blade, immediately reducing the Crystal War Wolf's all attributes by 20%.

This greatly weakened the Crystal War Wolf, whose agility had been boosted by 30%.

But this was far from over. Shi Feng activated Phantom Kill, and a doppelganger appeared beside the Crystal War Wolf, also launching attacks.

Although the doppelganger only had 50% of Shi Feng's attributes, it could inherit all learned skills.

The weakened Crystal War Wolf's speed was greatly reduced, but Shi Feng still couldn't easily dodge all the attacks. Helpless, he activated Gravity Liberation, instantly making his entire body as light as a feather, like a nimble monkey, dodging attacks that he previously couldn't avoid.

Wind Chasing Sword!

Instantly, Shi Feng's attack speed soared again.

Double Chop!

Ground Splitter!

Ground Splitter!

One skill after another landed, dealing thousands of points of damage.

While Berserk had increased the Crystal War Wolf's speed and strengthened its attacks, it had weakened its defense. Coupled with the 20% damage amplification from Wind Lightning Flash, the damage dealt was much higher.

With the attacks of Fire Dance and Aqua Rose, the Crystal War Wolf's health steadily decreased. The 30 seconds of Gravity Liberation reduced the Crystal War Wolf's health to 10%.

Seeing that Gravity Liberation was about to end, Shi Feng activated Nine Dragons Slash, projecting the phantom of Abyssal Blade behind him and shooting it towards the Crystal War Wolf. He then switched places with the doppelganger, who used Parry and Sword’s Orbit to resist the Crystal War Wolf.

Each attack from Abyssal Blade’s phantom was not weak, dealing over one hundred and fifty points of damage each time. Nine blades would deal over one thousand three hundred points of damage, with one thousand three hundred points of damage per second, lasting for 28 seconds.

The doppelganger was instantly killed by a claw attack after Parry and Sword’s Orbit were used up.

After all, the doppelganger only had 50% of the main body's attributes...

But it bought Shi Feng a lot of time.

The Crystal War Wolf then shifted its gaze to Shi Feng's main body. Shi Feng directly activated Windwalk, turning and running.

With the Crystal War Wolf's attributes reduced by 20% after Berserk and Shi Feng's speed increased by 30%, Shi Feng's speed was still faster, so he began the kiting strategy again.

Under the attacks of Aqua Rose and Fire Dance, the Crystal War Wolf's speed decreased more and more.

9%...

8%...

7%...

...

By the time Shi Feng's Windwalk was about to end, the Crystal War Wolf had 3% of its health remaining.

"Almost there."

Shi Feng stopped running, turned to face the Crystal War Wolf, and pointed Abyssal Blade at the Crystal War Wolf.

Abyssal Shackles!

Nine jet-black, snake-like chains suddenly emerged from the ground, instantly binding the Crystal War Wolf.

The Crystal War Wolf, which had been immune to all crowd control skills, was now bound and unable to move.

The so-called immunity to crowd control skills in God's Domain didn't mean that crowd control skills were ineffective, but rather that it could resist low-tier crowd control skills. For example, mage's Ice Arrow, Ice Seal Ball, and assassin's Kidney Shot were all ordinary skills, that is, Tier 0 skills, and were too low in tier to be effective.

As a Level 25 Lord, it could resist crowd control skills below Tier 2.

If it were a Tier 2 or Tier 3 crowd control skill, the Crystal War Wolf would still be controlled.

Although it was unknown which tier Abyssal Shackles belonged to, it wouldn't be low as a Demonic Weapon. According to Shi Feng's guess, it was at least a Tier 3 skill, meaning that all Bosses at this stage would be restrained.

With the Crystal War Wolf unable to move, Shi Feng took a step forward and used Flame Burst, a killing move that could only be used once every four minutes.

The two swords, like the sun, instantly unleashed six strikes on the Crystal War Wolf.

-2238, -4452, -2198, -2212, -4408, -2216...

Six instances of damage exceeding two thousand, totaling over sixteen thousand points, instantly killed the Crystal War Wolf with 3% of its health remaining.

System: Leveled up 7 levels to kill Lord Crystal War Wolf, obtained 700% experience increase, gained 485,630 experience points.

The experience bars of the three surged, with Aqua Rose directly leveling up to Level 18. However, Shi Feng had just leveled up to Level 18 not long ago, so he was still Level 18. But after killing a few more Lords like the Crystal War Wolf, he would soon level up to Level 19.

"I didn't expect Lords could be killed this way," Aqua Rose said, her eyes wide.

But if Shi Feng hadn't been able to keep the Crystal War Wolf distracted and easily dodge many of its skills, they wouldn't have been able to kill it.

"Guild Leader, let's take a look at the loot," Fire Dance said, not surprised. As a fan of Shi Feng, she had always believed that Shi Feng could do it. After all, Shi Feng's level was what she had always been pursuing; how could he be stopped by a Lord?

Shi Feng nodded and began to check the loot.

"No way, this Boss is so stingy, it only dropped one piece of equipment and a key," Aqua Rose said unhappily when she saw the loot information Shi Feng posted.

The most infuriating thing was that the loot was just a Level 20 Fine-Gold plate armor bracer, not even a Dark-Gold equipment.

"It's not bad. Don't forget that this Seven Luminaries Key can open the locked Dark-Gold treasure chest three times. Isn't there still a Dark-Gold treasure chest in front of us?" Shi Feng said with a smile.

Because Aqua Rose was with him, Aqua Rose's standards were unconsciously much higher than before. If she had seen Fine-Gold equipment in the past, she would have been overjoyed, but now she looked down on anything that wasn't a Dark-Gold weapon or equipment.

"That's right." Aqua Rose's gaze shifted to the treasure chest not far away. She had forgotten that there was still a Dark-Gold treasure chest. Opening the treasure chest would at least yield a Dark-Gold equipment, with a certain chance of opening an Epic item.

Epic items were something Aqua Rose didn't even dare to think about.
