The Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God (INDONESIA)
Chapter 8 – Killing Shrews
Although the damage dealt to Shi Feng was negligible, Shrews still woke up from his deep sleep.
Anyone would be angry when they suddenly woke up.
"I will flatten you, weak man!" Shrews yelling. The entire cave shook as Shrews stood up. With giant steps, Shrews walked towards Shi Feng.
Not giving the Shrews a chance, Shi Feng took out the Explosive Berry and threw it in front of the Shrews path.
Speed has always been a weakness of Rock Giant. There was no exception even for Special Elites. Shrews only had larger sizes, more powerful Attacks, and more attack methods. Although his Movement Speed and Attack Speed were slightly faster, under the slowing effect of the Explosive Berry, he was still as slow as a turtle.
On the other hand, Shi Fengs Movement Speed and Attack Speed were extremely fast due to his 16 Agility. Shi Feng immediately spun to Shrews back and began his fierce attack.
A series of damage appeared above Shrews' head.
-2, -2, -2, -2 ……
They are followed by another Chop that deals 6 damage.
Needless to say, Shrews have a terrifying Defense. Even with the magnified damage from Thundering Flash, Level 2 Chop only dealt 6 damage. Chop Level 1 would probably only deal 4 damage.
Shrews only turned around after receiving a series of attacks. It raised a foot the size of a mountain and stomped down, towards Shi Feng.
As a reincarnated person, Shi Feng had experienced countless battles in Gods Domain. He had no panic in him when dealing with the Shrews. With a step, Shi Feng nimbly dodged towards the Shrews back, dodging the Shrews' sluggish attacks. Shi Feng then followed up with a series of insane injuries.
When five seconds passed, the Shrews regenerated 18 HP, leaving it with the remaining 886 HP. Half of Shi Fengs efforts had been wasted in an instant.
Compared to Ordinary ones, Elite monsters or more would regenerate 2% of their HP every 5 seconds during a battle. Shrews have 900 HP, so 18 HP every 5 seconds. This regeneration had surpassed the damage Shi Feng could deal using normal attacks.
Even so, Shi Feng still calmly waved his sword, continuing to reap the HP Shrews.
Ordinary players had already given up when they saw such high HP and regeneration. Shi Feng would not do so. Sixteen Agility points allowed Shi Feng to dodge and attack easily. His high Attack Speed also allowed the damage he faced to reduce the regeneration of the Shrews completely. However, killing the Shrews took a lot of time.
It was very boring, just dodging and attacking crazily. Handling powerful attacks is exhausting, both physically and mentally.
With the passing of a second, Shrew's HP continued to fall.
Fifteen seconds later. . .
After the strengthening effect of Thundering Flash disappeared, the damage caused by Shi Feng was sharply reduced. Each of his sword attacks only dealt 1 damage, and Chop only took 4 HP from the Shrews. Shi Feng immediately fell into a fierce battle.
5 seconds passed, and Shrews once again regenerated 18 HP.
However, Shi Feng only dealt 17 damage in those 5 seconds. Not even enough to make up for the regeneration of the Shrews.
Shi Feng furrowed his brows. As expected, it was difficult to kill Shrews. It was just a futile effort without sufficient damage.
Did I give up?
Just as Shi Feng thought so. . .
"I want to flatten you!" Shrews roared as she stomped her feet.
Suddenly, the entire cave shook. Sharp stalactites fell from the ceiling of the cave one after another, covering the entire cave.
"It even has a party-erasing skill?"
Seeing the bad situation, Shi Feng moved quickly away from the side of the Shrews, avoiding the fallen stalactites.
Stalactites are constantly falling in large quantities. Their speed is also fast. If a party came to this narrow space, there would be nowhere to dodge. They will definitely be eliminated by the side. If not for his agile body and a rather large area, Shi Feng would have been hard pressed to avoid this falling stone.
Shrews revealed a tired expression after finishing his skill. Shi Fengs eyes shone; he quickly rushed forward.
The Flash is Shattering!
Cut it!
-4, -5, -6, -10.
Suddenly, a series of terrible damage was caused.
[Fatigue] stated, it was a period of weakness that appeared after Bosses used strong skills. In this condition, the Boss would have a greatly reduced Attack and Defense.
With this state of Fatigue, Shi Feng could see hope of killing the Shrews.
Shi Feng took the opportunity to attack more vigorously.
-4, -4, -4 …
Each sword attack took 4 HP while Shrews were under the conditions of Fatigue and Damage Amplification.
During this weakened period, Shrews regeneration also dropped to 1%.
By the time the Shrews returned to their normal state, Shi Feng had already taken 15% of the HP Shrews.
The next battle was filled with persistence. Shi Feng would repeatedly attack to make up for the regeneration of the Shrews. Every 30 seconds, he would give an explosion of damage with Thundering Flash. After that, he would wait for the Shrews to use his big move. This party-removing skill was a nightmare for players. Yet to Shi Feng, it was an opportunity.
As expected, Shrews will re-use his big move after a period of time. Shi Feng took this opportunity to take 16% of the HP Shrews.
Time passed by little by little.
After using 5 Explosive Fruits, Shrews had 32% HP remaining.
When the Shrews activated his great move once more, Shi Feng took out 16% of his HP. Shrews were quickly left with 16% HP remaining.
Just as the HP Shrews fell to 15%, a sudden change occurred.
Although the Explosive Berry was still in effect, Shrews' attacks became even faster. He nearly landed a punch on Shi Feng.
Shi Feng had just been Level 2. Even if Shrews Attack Power had been reduced, a single blow was enough to end Shi Feng. If Shi Feng died, he would lose his level and many Skill Proficiency; it was not something he wanted to see happen.
"Fight!" A cold glint flashed across Shi Fengs eyes as he activated Gravity Liberation. Suddenly, the dodge relaxed.
It was impossible to easily give up on a Special Elite with only 15% HP remaining.
Shi Feng continued to swirl and gallantly cut his sword at the Shrews.
Each punch dealt 3 damage, slowly reducing the HP of the Shrews.
14%. . . 10%. . . 9%. . . 8%. . . 5%. . .
The duration of Gravity Liberation becomes shorter and shorter. When there were only 7 seconds left, Shrews still had 5% of his HP. Shi Feng would definitely be one-shotted as soon as Gravity Liberation ended.
Hurry along! Hurry along! Hurry along!
Shi Fengs eyes turned blood red as his sword attacked increasingly faster.
Just like Shrews who only had 10 HP remaining, Gravity Liberation ended ……
Shi Fengs speed decreased sharply. A cold, human-like grin appeared on Shrews' face as he smashed his stone-like fists at Shi Feng.
"Dead!" The cooldown of Thundering Flash was finally completed.
The Flash is Shattering!
In an instant, three streaks of light passed through Shrews' body.
-4, -5, -6.
The last 10 HP Shrews were taken.
The explosion! Shrews turned into a pile of rubble.
System: [Special Elite] Shrews killed. Difference in level 4. EXP gained increased by 400%. Obtained 940 EXP.
Shi Fengs experience bar suddenly rose by 27%, pushing him a step closer to Level 3.
After killing the Shrews, Shi Feng searched through the pile of rubble.
Special Elite Droplets were much better than normal Elite. Shi Feng obtained equipment, skill books, and 16 copper.
“Gifts to challenge higher levels are certainly good. Even the Bronze Shield fell. I can sell it at a high price. It would be great if I could grind it a few more times. '' Shi Feng looked at the blue cross-shaped shield in his hand. He could already imagine how the Guild would pay such a high price for the shield.
[Iron-Stone Shield] (Bronze Rank)
Equipment Requirement: Strength 8
Equipment Level: 5
Defense +21
23% Defense Rate%
Power +2, Durability +4
HP +30
The shield can be considered high quality with such attributes. When equipped, the shield will greatly enhance the Defense. HP would also be increased by 110 points; this was equivalent to a third of a Level 5 Warrior-class HP. Using it to dive into a Level 5 Dungeon was more than enough. It could even be used to dive into Level 8 Dungeons.
The skill book is good too. It was a skill that could be used by all close-quarters Jobs, [Parry]. For that we need a close-range weapon. It could block a single attack coming from the front, and had a thirty-second cooldown.
Parry is a skill that is popular among all close jobs. It was a skill to be learned for the Warrior class. This skill had a low drop rate, and was almost never seen being sold on the market, as it was a lifesaving skill. You can activate it at a crucial moment, and it may even be able to help you get through a crisis. That was especially true when fighting against Bosses. If the healer is unable to follow, then you can use Parry to block the attack, giving the healer more time to heal you.
Seeing his skill, Shi Feng decided to study it. Although he could get a better price if he sold the skill book along with the shield, the action was no different than killing a chicken to obtain an egg. It was something Shi Feng would not do.
Shi Feng continued climbing upwards after killing the Shrews.
The Bronze Shield is worth only a little money. Real wealth is a Secret-Silver Treasure Chest.
Shi Feng only had 4 Explosive Fruits left. However, he was not even a third of the distance to the peak. It was also very easy to encounter monsters at the resting point. This caused Shi Feng to choose his path more carefully.
Half an hour later . . .
After carefully advancing the entire path, Shi Feng was finally at the top of the mountain. Visibility at the summit was very poor with all the white clouds and fog. Shi Feng could only see twenty meters in front of him.
On his way, Shi Feng had used all 4 of the Explosive Berries left in the Rock Giants. If another monster appeared, Shi Feng could only give up and start all over again.
Just as Shi Feng walked in front of a few steps. . .
Some blurry shadows could be seen in front.
At this time, an emergency notification came from the system.
System: Players have discovered The Lost Lands. Hidden Quest Enabled "Past Glory". Temporarily disable player communication to the outside world. Can't leave the map until the Quest is complete.
"Damn it, the Assassin is lying. '' Shi Feng cursed silently. Those Assassins were undoubtedly hiding some information.
The situation at the top of the mountain was completely different from what the Assassins reported.
