Bab 30: First Orange Equipment
Editor: Atlas Studios
Upon seeing Liu Ming not injured in the slightest, the Death Knight's Soul Fire flickered. However, Death Knight Dylon did not hesitate to launch a storm-like attack on Liu Ming.
As a Hegemon-level Boss, Death Knight Dylon was similar to ordinary players when it came to intelligence and attacking rate. In fact, Death Knight Dylon was superior to ordinary players and was comparable to a true elite player in some aspects.
After an exchange of high-damage attacks, Liu Ming and the Death Knights lost plenty of Health Points.
Due to Holy Blessing's additional damage boost against Dark Creatures, Liu Ming made Death Knight Dylon lose 2,000 to 3,000 HP with every strike and Skill.
If a Critical Hit appeared, the damage dealt would double.
However, the damage inflicted by Death Knight Dylon was rather high too. Each of his strikes would cause about 400 to 500 points of damage to Liu Ming. Besides, Death Knight Dylon had more than 100,000 Health Points. The damage suffered by both parties was practically about the same.
Death Knight Dylon even managed to get an advantage. However, even then, Flying Tiger King and the others were dumbfounded. After all, it took more than ten players to besiege a Leader-level boss, let alone taking on a Hegemon-level Boss one on one.
...
Ten-odd minutes passed very quickly. After a long battle, Liu Ming's Energy Shield had already been broken during the battle. In fact, even his HP had plunged to 1,000-odd points.
Death Knight Dylon was not in a good state either. He initially had more than 100,000 HP, but he only had less than 20,000 HP left now.
The Death Knight looked at Liu Ming and smugly said, "Kid, on account that you and I have been fighting for such a long time, I'll turn you into an Undead Knight."
However, an Energy Shield appeared on Liu Ming's body again as soon as the Death Knight said that.
The Energy Shield was rather familiar to Death Knight Dylon. It was Holy Protection, the 'turtle shell' that he had taken a long time to break previously.
Liu Ming had now given himself another layer of Holy Protection, which meant that at least two-thirds of his battle with Death Knight Dylon had gone in vain.
If Death Knight Dylon had a face, he would definitely be beaming with joy now.
Flying Tiger King and the others—who had become bystanders that were watching the fun—were surprised by that move.
"Damn it! Who's the Boss!?!"
"Damn it! What an impressive Skill. The cooldown time is so short too."
...
Liu Ming was not bothered by the reactions of Flying Tiger King and the others. Instead, he directly activated Blessing Of Lady Luck, a Skill that had to be used during every battle with a Boss-level monster.
Afterward, Liu Ming took the initiative to attack Death Knight Dylon.
Upon seeing Liu Ming take the initiative to attack, Death Knight Dylon's Soul Fire flickered even more vigorously. "Damned human, do you think you're definitely going to win?" Halfway through the sentence, Death Knight Dylon's voice suddenly became much more high-pitched. "I shall show you my real power!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black light around Death Knight Dylon's body surged again. Immediately afterward, Death Knight Dylon rushed towards Liu Ming, leaving various afterimages behind.
-2,321
Death Knight Dylon immediately made Liu Ming lose a quarter of his Energy Points. Death Knight Dylon was clearly no longer the same as before. Be it in terms of speed or Attacking Power, he was several times stronger than before.
At such a critical moment, Liu Ming could not care to look at the information displayed on the information bar below the Death Knight. He immediately launched several attacks on Death Knight Dylon.
Long-range Raid!
-4,800 (Critical Hit)
Berserking Slash!
-2,670 (Critical Hit)
-3,021 (Critical Hit)
-3,410 (Critical Hit)
...
A series of attacks landed on Death Knight Dylon's head, instantly causing his nearly 20,000 HP to be emptied completely.
In fact, the Death Knight's increased Attacking Power and speed were several-fold greater than that of other monsters in the berserk state. Death Knight Dylon's defensive power also increased instead of decreasing.
If Liu Ming did not activate Blessing Of Lady Luck and used Long-range Raid and its vertigo effect to slash Death Knight Dylon instead, he might not be the latter's match at all. However, there were no ifs. At the instant that Liu Ming activated Blessing Of Lady Luck, Death Knight Dylon's fate had been sealed.
With the fall of the Death Knight, the large amount of EXP caused Liu Ming's EXP bar to increase from 17% to 77%.
That was not all. An unprecedented explosion erupted from Death Knight Dylon.
The blue and purple rays of light on the ground immediately dazzled them.
The lowest quality of items dropped by Death Knight Dylon was Blue. Other than the pieces of Blue and Purple equipment everywhere, there was also an Orange Knight Sword lying in the middle, emitting a distinctive light.
Upon seeing the Knight Sword, Liu Ming—who already knew that a piece of Orange equipment would drop—simply chuckled.
Flying Tiger King and the rest were so shocked that they could only curse.
"Damn it…"
"Damn it…"
...
Liu Ming ignored the four of them, who often cursed, and began picking up the Boss's drops.
...
[Congratulations, Adventurer, you have obtained Elite Dark Knight Armor (Blue).]
[Congratulations, Adventurer, you have obtained Elite Dark Ranger Leather Armor (Blue).]
...
[Congratulations, Adventurer, you have obtained Death Knight Armor (Purple).]
[Congratulations, Adventurer, you have obtained Death Knight Combat Boots (Purple).]
...
[Congratulations, Adventurer, you have obtained Dwarf Forging Master Brook's Smithing Hammer (Purple).]
[Congratulations, Adventurer, you have obtained Purgatory Nightmare Egg (Purple).]
[Congratulations, Adventurer, you have obtained Knight's Choice (Orange).]
...
Other than the Orange Knight Sword, Death Knight Dylon also dropped three Blue Outfit sets for different professions, as well as a Purple Knight Outfit set.
With the Purple Outfit set, Liu Ming could not be bothered to look at the Blue ones.
The Death Knight Outfit set's Stats was nearly 40% higher than the Blue Outfit set that Liu Ming wore. It also had an interesting passive Stat, Adversary Explosion.
Adversary Explosion: When the adventurer's Health Points fall below 10%, the adventurer's Attacking Power, Defense, and speed will increase by 100%. Duration: 60 seconds. Cooldown: 1 hour.
It was clearly the last Skill Death Knight Dylon used. However, regardless of how much God Domain's planners slacked off, they could not possibly copy the Hegemon-level Boss's special Skill values.
After looking at the equipment's effects, Liu Ming put on the Death Knight equipment without hesitation. He then turned to look at the Orange Knight Sword.
