ALL NOVEL Chapter 54 - A Trash Pet
“Belonging to the Blood Hell Frost Bone General?”
Sword Demon Hong Shan’s blade fell, fortunately not going astray. After stunning the Soul Rabbit, he casually tossed an examine skill over.
【Tempest Skeleton Blood Raven】
Level: 10
Overview: Belongs to the Blood Hell Frost Bone General.
“Oh, it’s just a player’s pet. Gave me a fright for a second there.”
His cousin Qi Tun Tianxia once said, when encountering a Blood Skeleton, don’t bother with anything else, just run for dear life first. If escape is truly impossible, then kneel and beg for mercy.
His cousin was a disciple of the Fist Sage, so naturally, he wouldn’t doubt those words.
“Thank goodness it’s not that Blood Skeleton.”
Sword Demon Hong Shan felt relieved.
In The Great Wasteland, there’s an archer class that can specialize into a Dark Archer. At level 10, they learn the skill Charm Curse to bewitch wild monsters into becoming their pets.
Ruan Xiangxiang behind him had specialized into this class.
This Blood Raven was probably just some trashy pet charmed by a Dark Archer player, only level 10, clearly garbage at a glance.
But this player’s name was so pretentious too, actually calling themselves the “Blood Hell Frost Bone General”. Having a long name makes you amazing?
Sword Demon Hong Shan inwardly mocked a bit. Not seeing any Dark Archer player nearby after a look, he didn’t pay it any more mind.
He continued instructing while hacking at his monsters.
“High-level Blade Masters can interrupt their casting in auto-mode at the instant their leap takes effect.”
“Forcibly switching weapons achieves the effect of interrupting the technique while already in the air.”
“After landing, besides not dealing damage, the stun effect still triggers as usual, able to shorten the preparation time by around 1 second.”
“Top-tier expert Blade Master players, like our Dominating the World Guild’s vice-leader Lan Yue, can fluidly switch between manual and auto modes.”
“Instantly toggling to manual after auto-casting, shortening the prep time by 1.5 seconds.”
“As for my idol, Sword God Xie Changkong, those kinds of gods fully operate in manual mode, the casting having zero signs or preparation time whatsoever.”
“He can even chain a Leap Slash from any skill, then link other skills during the Leap Slash. Simply far too formidable!”
Sword Demon Hong Shan spoke with great excitement upon mentioning Xie Changkong, clearly extraordinarily idolizing the Sword God.
“Wow, this Sword God is actually that amazing? Then what level of player are you, Brother Shan?”
Ruan Xiangxiang gazed at Sword Demon Hong Shan with an admiring look.
“Me?”
Sword Demon Hong Shan also felt a bit smug hearing that. As a member of the Hall of Fame in the Dominating the World Guild, he naturally belonged to the expert class. Otherwise, how could he impress girls?
“As you know, I’m a Hall of Fame member, definitely a top-class expert.”
In that instant, he had already switched the blade in his hands to an unspecialized katana.
He slashed down at the Soul Rabbit he had stunned.
“-39!”
“Splat!”
“-26.”
“Let me tell you, Xiangxiang, actually Sword God Xie Changkong isn’t the strongest. The one who created divine techniques should be the strongest…”
Sword Demon Hong Shan boasted to Ruan Xiangxiang while hacking at the monster,
“You didn’t use to play Mythic so maybe you don’t know, but that Blade Master, he’s the real deal. He can kill without even moving! He is unbelievably awesome!”
“Killing without moving? How do you kill if you don’t move?” Ruan Xiangxiang clearly didn’t believe it, feeling that Sword Demon Hong Shan was exaggerating.
Not moving yet killing people?
Isn’t that just a fairy tale?
Sword Demon Hong Shan slashed again, switching to his class’s basic greatsword, each chop bringing forth damage numbers.
“-48!”
“-45!”
“I’m telling you, it’s not that he doesn’t move, but that his speed is too fast. It looks like he hasn’t budged but you’re already dead.”
Sword Demon Hong Shan retorted, “This is the 15th divine technique he created, called Absolute Static Slash!”
“In PvP, even the damage trigger mechanism can’t keep up with the speed of this slash!”
“The person dies and only then does the damage pop up. Simply astonishing. Sigh, if I had that level of skill, even the Twelve Gods would be beneath me.”
Sword Demon Hong Shan sighed emotionally, looking at his damage numbers with dejection.
“-47.”
“-127.”
47 was his damage to the Soul Rabbit, 127 was the Soul Rabbit’s damage to him. They weren’t even on the same level.
Frantically chugging two health potions, Sword Demon Hong Shan inwardly lamented, “If not for showing off, this daddy wouldn’t be dumb enough to grind in a ghost place like this.”
“Brother Shan, you look like you’re about to die.”
“No big deal. I’m a Blade Master with 400 HP at level 12, I can take it.”
“Oh? Brother Shan, there seems to be a red skeleton over there. What’s that? It looks so impressive.”
Ruan Xiangxiang suddenly spotted the Blood Raven, her eyes instantly lighting up. Her Dark Archer class specialized in finding premium pets. This Blood Raven looked formidable with a single glance. Perhaps she could snatch it over?
“Tch, just a trashy pet.” Sword Demon Hong Shan said disdainfully.
“Xiangxiang, you can’t just look at the surface for everything. Skeletons are the lowest level monsters in the Great Wasteland game. Don’t be fooled by this skeleton’s fancy-sounding name. I reckon its attack power is lacking and it might not even have any skills.”
“Ah… so that’s how it is.” Ruan Xiangxiang replied with disappointment. “But why is it luring a group of monsters?”
“Luring a group? Heh, its master probably thinks this pet is too trash and plans to let it die. But this player is dogshit too. It’s just a trash pet, how much HP could it have? Yet it pulled so many-”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh…”
Before Sword Demon Hong Shan could finish speaking, the Blood Raven had finished luring the monsters, unleashing Thousand Arrows.
Instantly, 108 arrows shot out in a fan-shaped shockwave, firing towards 38 Soul Rabbits.
Thousand Arrows, 300% attack power bonus!
“-1875!”
“-3850!”
“-1875!”
