Cola had long since been ready for this moment. The instant Shi Feng let out the command, his mouth began chanting divine texts. Streaks of golden divine texts rushed at Shi Feng.
Protection Blessing!
Suddenly, Shi Feng was surrounded by countless golden divine texts, giving off a dazzling golden glow.
At the same time, Drowsy Sloth, at the rear of the line, continuously cast Recover and Life Prayer, pulling Shi Feng’s HP back up to full and returning him to his best condition.
“Prepare for a battering attack. Absolutely do not leave from my back.” Seeing Werewolf Felt’s line of sight shifting towards them, Shi Feng held the Abyssal Blade across his chest as he commanded.
Hearing Shi Feng’s words, everyone started to tense up.
Their hearts were not courageous, to begin with. Now, their hearts started to madly beat. They were being covered in a cold sweat even before Werewolf Felt used its skill.
Suddenly, Werewolf Felt moved. Its expanded chest started moving upwards, moving past its throat and to its mouth.
Hou!Within an instant, everyone aside from Shi Feng felt their hearts stop beating. It was as if the world had turned gray and silent. The soaring birds in the sky had also turned motionless.
Everyone could clearly see the multitude of gray-colored waves being emitted from Werewolf Felt’s body. Streak after streak, it continuously expanded.
The dark gray ripples quickly arrived in front of everyone. However, they could not move even a muscle. It was not because they did not wish to move, but because their bodies could not keep up with the speed of their thoughts.
Everyone could feel that time was moving by at an exceptionally slow pace. However, everyone understood that although the movement of time appeared slow, in reality, it was moving at the pinnacle of speed. Just like absolute experts crossing swords; the moment the exchange happened, time would move exceptionally slowly.
At this moment, only Shi Feng slightly moved.
Phantom Kill!
The instant the dark gray ripples arrived in front of Shi Feng, his doppelganger had blocked in front of him. At the same time, the doppelganger used Parry.
Subsequently, the gray ripples made contact with the doppelganger. However, they were blocked by the doppelganger’s Parry, whereas the doppelganger himself retreated a step back. He only stabilized his body after colliding with Shi Feng.
Just after the doppelganger stabilized himself, another wave of ripples came smashing.
The ripples passed through the doppelganger’s body this time, causing his HP to instantly decrease by 300 points. Behind him, Shi Feng had also received -30 damage, while the others behind Shi Feng received -20 damage.
However, the ripples did not stop with just one wave. When the third wave of ripples passed through the doppelganger, his body had instantly disintegrated. A damage of -100 points also appeared above Shi Feng’s head. Subsequently, wave after wave of dark gray ripples followed.-100, -100, -100, -100, ......
Shi Feng’s HP fell time and time again until only 90 points remained. When the final wave of ripples was about to get rid of Shi Feng, he used Parry.
Hong! Shi Feng retreated a big step backward. However, he did not receive any damage. The people behind him were also unharmed. However, their HP after going through several waves of attacks did not exceed 50%.At this moment, Drowsy Sloth’s Recover had only landed on Shi Feng’s body, pulling Shi Feng’s HP back to 140. Following which he used Life Payment, recovering 130 HP for Shi Feng. Within a moment, Shi Feng’s HP had returned to over 50%.
“This roar really is powerful. I even thought we were finished,” Blackie wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead. If Shi Feng had not blocked in front of them, they would all be goners by now. When he thought back to how Shi Feng nearly died, Blackie’s heart started beating rapidly, reaching 180 beats per minute.
If Shi Feng died, then they would die as well; there was nobody else in the party who could pin down Werewolf Felt for a long period of time.
At this moment, everyone looked at Shi Feng as if they were looking at a monster. Never would they have imagined that Shi Feng would ingeniously use his doppelganger to block two of those onslaughts. He had also used Parry on the final attack. The way Shi Feng had calculated both damage and HP was absolutely brilliant. Such a technique definitely belonged to the realm of gods.“Stop daydreaming, all of you! Quickly attack the Boss; it’s in a Weakened state right now!” Shi Feng only shrugged his shoulders at his party’s reaction. Such a technique could be done by many experts in a few more years.
However, Shi Feng had yet to relax. The thing he had to pay attention to the most right now was the Boss. Only he knew how hard it was to deal with Werewolf Felt.
Wind Blade!
With Gravity Liberation activated, Shi Feng instantly arrived in front of Felt. He tightly gripped the Abyssal Blade, continuously sending attacks towards Felt’s chest.
Thundering Flash!
Double Chop!
Chop!
Damage that exceeded -100 appeared above Werewolf Felt’s head, one after another. The other party members were also able to deal damage of over -20 with each attack. Very quickly, they had reduced Werewolf Felt’s HP down to 15%.
When they saw that Felt was about to die, everyone revealed smiles of excitement.
“Don’t be careless. Blackie, use your Evil Whip. Lonely Snow, prepare to interrupt with Charge.” Shi Feng commanded as he dodged Werewolf Felt’s attack.
Being told what to do in such a way, everyone’s hearts suddenly constricted.
A Death Stare and a Hell’s Roar was already unimaginably terrifying. If it was any other party here, they would have long since revived back at the graveyard.
Could Werewolf Felt actually have another powerful skill? How horrifying was this Hell Mode?!
Shi Feng constantly paid attention to Werewolf Felt’s HP. Just when Felt’s HP fell down to 10%, its third big move finally came.
Death Berserk!
This move would increase Werewolf Felt’s Attack Speed by 100%, its Movement Speed by 40%, and its Attack Power by 100% until it died. It was precisely this move that had caused countless Elite parties to curse out in madness.
After activating Death Berserk, Werewolf Felt’s fur started turning red; in a moment, it had become blood-red in color. Adding in its crimson red eyes and sharp fangs, Felt looked remarkably like a Blood Fiend. Its terrifying appearance had caused everyone to inadvertently retreat a step backward. They could clearly feel the air of danger given off by Felt.
Shi Feng used another Double Chop, stacking the Bleeding effect to five layers. Afterward, he spun around and ran.After activating Death Berserk, there was no one under Level 5 who was able to block Felt. That included Shi Feng, even if he had a Magic Weapon. The only method was to kite[1] it and slowly grinding Felt to death.
The moment Shi Feng had escaped the 10-yard distance, Felt’s thick thighs suddenly doubled in size. One of its legs abruptly stomped the ground, sending it flying like an arrow, rushing towards Shi Feng.
Shi Feng was about to arrive at the location of the large rock, but behind him, Felt’s speed was just too fast. He definitely could not make it. Shi Feng abruptly made a 90-degrees sharp turn.
Hong!
Without making any turns, Werewolf Felt smashed straight into the large rock blocking its path, turning it into rubble. Fragmented rocks the size of a person’s head were sent flying more than 10 yards away. Seeing such horrifying strength, even a fierce man such as Cola had his heart trembling.
If he were struck by those claws, then he would definitely become meat paste…...
At this moment, Shi Feng had already distanced himself over 20 yards from Felt. Meanwhile, the attacks from the mages never stopped. They continuously ground away Felt’s HP.
Shi Feng’s plan to kite Felt was a success. Every time Werewolf Felt was about to catch up, Lonely Snow would Charge at it. He then followed it up with a Bone Crusher, greatly reducing Felt’s speed. Afterward, he pulled away from Felt once more. When Lonely Snow’s skills were on Cooldown, Blackie would use Evil Whip to constrict Felt once more. The skills of the two of them had a quick Cooldown. With Shi Feng’s occasional Abyssal Bind, they had formed a perfect cycle to toy with Werewolf Felt without pause.
7%... 6%... 5%... 3%...
Finally, when Felt only had 1% HP remaining, Shi Feng abruptly turned around.
Wind Blade! Thundering Flash! Chop! Double Chop!
Shi Feng’s single sword slashed at Werewolf Felt’s chest, taking away its final 1% HP.
System: Your party is the first to clear a Hell Mode Dungeon. Rewards increased by 100%; loot increased by 100%.
System: Cleared Hell Mode of Deathly Forest. Rewarding 8000 EXP.
At this moment, Werewolf Felt exploded, dropping out over 10 items. And amongst them, there was one that made Shi Feng’s eyes shine.
Crimson Blade!
It was a sword that had the color of fresh blood. It gave off a dull red glow, and there was also faint drops of red liquid dripping off the edges of the blade. The entire sword revealed a dense killing aura.
Shi Feng never imagined that the item with an abysmal drop rate would actually appear in front of him.
* * *
TL Notes:
[1] kite: A term in video gaming and elsewhere to describe when a ranged fighter skirmishes with a hand-to-hand fighter by running and shooting. This can have 2 purposes: a) to damage the enemy while staying outside of hand-to-hand range, or b) to make the enemy follow you so you can lead them to a specific location
Shi Feng walked over without hesitation. He quickly picked up the one-handed sword filled with killing intent.
The Crimson Blade was one of the rarest drops within the Hell Mode of the Deathly Forest. It was also the best sword for a Swordsman below Level 6.
[Crimson Blade] (Secret-Silver Rank, One-Handed Sword)
Level 3
Equipment Requirement: Strength 12
Attack Power +21
Strength +5, Agility +6, Endurance +3
Durability 30/30
Its Attack Power alone could rival a Level 5 Two-Handed Bronze Axe. With the six extra points in Agility, it could increase the Attack Speed of a Swordsman by quite a lot. The Crimson Blade was definitely a precious weapon for Swordsmen.
Unfortunately, Shi Feng could not equip it yet. His experience was currently at 69% of Level 2. There was still quite an amount before he could reach Level 3. Moreover, he wouldn’t be able to equip it even if he had reached Level 3. This was because Swordsmen would only activate the Dual-Wielding Talent after they reached Level 5. At that time, Shi Feng would be able to wield two one-handed swords.
By the time Shi Feng was Level 5, he would be able to wield the Abyssal Blade on his main-arm, and the Crimson Blade on his sub-arm. His Attack Power would be invincible amongst Level 5 players. Shi Feng felt great just thinking about such a future.
“Brother Feng, hurry up and pick up the equipment! I’m dying of anxiety here!” Blackie urged.
“That’s right, party leader! You can’t just enjoy it by yourself! At least let us have a look at what equipment dropped!”
The loot on the ground had nearly blinded everyone’s eyes. The anxiety burning in their hearts had even caused them to forget their joy of reaching Level 2. They all wished to take a look at the drops of the two Hell Mode Bosses. As for rushing over to snatch the loot, there was nobody present who would do such a thing. Even if the items on the ground were valuable, they still wouldn’t do it.
If they had done such a thing, although they could feel great for the moment, they would instead regret their actions for the rest of their lives. This was because Shi Feng was the true treasure here. Even if Shi Feng wanted all of the equipment, there would not be a single person who would refuse him. After all, the only reason they could make it to this point was all because of Shi Feng. That was why everyone was just standing by the side, obediently watching instead of rushing up to fight for the loot.
“Alright, alright. No need to rush.” Shi Feng smiled. He quickly began to collect the items on the ground. Shi Feng was very satisfied with everyone’s performance.
They were unlike the players Shi Feng would occasionally party up with in his previous life. When the Boss died, those players would rush up in unison to snatch the equipment. They immediately disappeared once they took all the equipment, leaving Shi Feng enraged and speechless.
The reason Shi Feng did not set the party so that only the leader could pick drops was to test everyone’s intentions. It was better to discover those treacherous people early on. Now that nobody had rushed up to snatch the items, Shi Feng could be more at ease with them.
In a short moment, Shi Feng had collected all the loot on the ground. There were a total of 19 pieces of equipment and 5 Silver Coins. Such a harvest could rival the assets of a large Guild in its entirety.
Arranging his bag, Shi Feng’s lips curled up into a smile. He found a Forging Design.
[Garrison Armor Forging Design]
Able to create a piece of Level 3 Bronze-ranked Chest Armor after learning the design.
Materials Required: 20 Copper Ores, 5 Bronze Ores, 5 Magic Essences
This piece of equipment was a good item. As long as a party’s MT equipped it, diving into the Normal Mode of the Deathly Forest would become much easier. Not only did it have high Defense and Strength, it also increased maximum HP by 200 points. It was an extremely important piece of equipment for any MT.
In Shi Feng’s previous life, when this equipment was released, every Guild madly fought over it. They also ignored all costs to enter the Deathly Forest in order to obtain this Forging Design.
When Blackie saw Shi Feng’s excited smile, his heart became even more anxious.
It was needless to say for the other people, if a person’s sight could kill, Shi Feng probably would have died over hundreds or thousands of times by now.
“The items are not bad. Here, you guys have a look.” Shi Feng did not waste any more time. He immediately displayed the Attributes of all the equipment.
There were a total of 15 pieces of equipment. Amongst them, there was only a single Secret-Silver Equipment, which was the Crimson Blade. There were also 5 pieces of Mysterious-Iron Equipment and 9 pieces of Bronze Equipment. The Bronze Equipment dropped by the Bosses of Hell Mode were all of the highest quality. The Bronze Equipment dropped by Elites were far from comparable.
Amongst all the equipment, after the Crimson Blade, the most valuable items were the pieces of Mysterious-Iron Equipment. Out of the three Modes of the Deathly Forest, only Hell Mode dropped Mysterious-Iron Equipment, whereas Normal and Difficult only dropped Bronze Equipment.
Blackie’s luck had always been good. Amongst the five pieces of Mysterious-Iron Equipment, there were two pieces of the Dark Color Set meant for Cursemancers. The Dark Color Set was definitely the Set Equipment for Cursemancers below Level 5. There were a total of five pieces in the Dark Color Set; head, chest, legs, shoes, armguards. This time around, the parts that dropped were the chest and shoes. These two items had placed a wide smile on Blackie’s face.
“Brother Feng, I really love coming down to Hell! Let’s come here once every day. That way, I can complete the Dark Color Set, and if anyone dares look down upon us at that time, I’ll blast him to pieces!” Blackie showed off the Dark Color Set in his hands.
After wearing the Dark Color Set, Blackie felt himself becoming closer to an expert. His Magic Attack was increased to 66; a single Level 3 Dark Arrow could take away more than half the HP of a Level 1 Shield Warrior. If he could complete the Dark Color Set, then a single Dark Arrow could one-shot a Shield Warrior.
He put on the suit of ash-gray fur robes, coupled with glistening pitch-black boots; everyone could tell they were pieces of a set with just a glance.
The others drooled when they saw the black luster of the Dark Color Set. Their hearts were filled with hatred and envy for Blackie.
They had never imagined entering Hell would be such a great experience. They truly hoped they could enter Hell a few more times in the future.
The remaining three pieces of Mysterious-Iron Equipment were the set pieces for Guardian Knight, Shield Warrior, and Elementalist. Amongst those present, only Cola was a Guardian Knight. Thus, Shi Feng gave the piece of equipment to Cola and stored the others.
As for the remaining Bronze Equipment, Cola received a shield and Lonely Snow received a greatsword. Both pieces of Level 2 equipment had the best Attributes possible on them. Drowsy Sloth and Gluttonous Mouse also received a piece of Bronze Equipment each.
Quite a few pieces of Shi Feng’s equipment were also replaced. Amongst the Bronze Equipment, there were three pieces that belonged to Swordsman. The two pieces of equipment that remained were stored away by Shi Feng.
When everyone had changed their equipment, it was as if the entire party had a makeover. Every piece of their equipment was incomparably brilliant. Just a glance was enough to tell that they didn’t just have Common Equipment. The entire party had also risen to Level 2. Blackie’s experience was even at 98% of Level 2, just a tad bit short of Level 3.
The other four items were a Forging Design, a Potion Recipe, a rare skill for Cursemancers, and a notebook.
The rare skill for Cursemancers overjoyed Blackie. It was an AOE skill called [Hell Flame].
[Hell Flame]
Deals 150% Flame Damage to an 8 x 8 yard area. Duration of 5 seconds.
Cooldown: 36 seconds.
It was a godly skill for grinding monsters during the early periods of the game.
“What is this thing for?” Shi Feng looked at the old notebook in his hand. He could not recall the Hell Mode of the Deathly Forest dropping such an item.
Taking a look inside, Shi Feng discovered words which he could not understand. However, Shi Feng knew these words belonged to the Ancient Language of the Elves.
Within God’s Domain, any items which had a relationship with the Elven language were definitely not common items. Just like the Ring Of Gravity, there was a string of Elvish words carved onto it. They had allowed the ring to possess unimaginable powers.
“It seems I have to make a trip to the library.”
Shi Feng felt this notebook was not as simple as it seemed. In his previous life, he entered the Hell Mode of the Deathly Forest tens of times. However, he had never seen such an item drop before. There was no such news from the other teams in the Guild as well. The likelihood of the notebook dropping only on the First Kill was high. If Shi Feng wanted to make heads with the situation, he had to translate its contents at the library.
“Brother Feng, what are we going to do afterward? Grinding mobs?” Blackie was eager to try out the new skill he learned.
“That’s fine as well. We’ll grind and do Quests in Dark Moon Valley. The monsters there drop quite a lot of ore” Shi Feng said after some thought.
With the Forging Design in hand, all that was left was to obtain the materials. However, Shi Feng needed a lot of materials. Now that Blackie had Hell Flame, it should be a lot quicker to kill Kobolds and Gnomes. Furthermore, Shi Feng knew of a few good locations where it would be suitable to use Hell Flame.
Shi Feng turned to look at the others, saying, “Will you guys follow us or do Quests on your own?”
“Big Brother Feng, how could you leave me out of grinding mobs? I’ve already planned to follow Big Brother Feng in the future.” Cola smiled like a fool as he gently caressed his new shield.
“Big Brother Feng, can we join as well?”
Drowsy Sloth and Gluttonous Mouse were both high-schoolers. Currently, they had their heads lowered in embarrassment. However, they did not wish to give up such a chance. Shi Feng was a great expert. They would reap endless benefits if they could learn a thing or two by staying by his side.
Shi Feng said, smiling, “Of course you are all welcome to join.”
Suddenly, the two of them revealed excited expressions, both their hands clenched up in excitement.
“Since nobody is opposed to it, then we will go grind in Dark Moon Valley.”
After finishing his piece, Shi Feng called out the System Panel. He selected the Dungeon’s Party Teleportation, parting with the Deathly Forest.
