Chapter 319: Shattered
Translator: 549690339
Song Jian had obliterated the Bone Dragon Illusion, causing more damage to the Imperial Dragon Demon Lord than he had expected. The Bone Dragon Illusion was a manifestation of all the skills and mastery of the Demon Lord. Once it had absorbed enough vitality, it could merge with the Bone Dragon and increase its power significantly.
At this point, the Imperial Dragon Demon Lord regarded Song Jian with a deep-seated hatred, yearning to rip him apart with its own hands.
The explosion of a dozen self-destructing robots inflicted over two thousand points of damage to the Imperial Dragon Demon Lord, reducing his Vitality Points to less than half. Seeing that his Bronze Throne was also cooling down, he became even more furious, charging at Song Jian with his long sword ablaze with black flames.
Song Jian had never fought a level 15 boss monster before. But after their recent clash, he could guess that none of the Demon Lordâs attributes would exceed twenty points.
In this aspect, Song Jian had completely suppressed the Demon Lord. However, the Demon Lordâs skills were all extremely powerful and inflicting high damage, which made the fight difficult for Song Jian.
Meanwhile, the surrounding NPCs saw that the Demon Lord was attacking Song Jian and curiously stood aside, allowing the Demon Lord to focus on Song Jian without any distraction. This was the consequence of Song Jianâs earlier threat to the NPCs with his self-destructing robots; practically all the NPCs present now held grudges against him.
As a result, his relationship with these NPCs had most likely degraded to a point of indifference. They derived great pleasure from watching Song Jian struggle.
The Demon Lordâs long sword was brimming with power, each swing carrying the force of cracking rocks. But Song Jian wouldnât be defeated easily. His Crimson Fire Heart Monkey Sword was suddenly enveloped with a veneer of crimson flame.
The Fire Lizard Medicine!
Song Jian, who had taken the Weakness Potion and Fire Lizard Medicine clashed with the Demon Lord. They traded blows for a while, none gaining an upper hand. Those watching were astounded.
âHow can he be so strong?â Qian Xiaohaoâs face darkened. He had considered the opponent just an adventurer who got lucky, with only potential at best. But the opponentâs actual power was beyond belief.
Upon entering the city, other than searching for information about the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace, Qian Xiaohao had always been ready to find the fortunate adventurer who traded with his father. If the adventurer had not learned the âSword Fingerâ technique, he would attempt to trade it with him. If the adventurer had already learned the technique, then he would have no choice but to kill him to see if he could drop the âSword Fingerâ technique upon death.
When Qian Xiaohao realized that Song Jian had already learned âSword Finger,â he became murderous. Although he tried hard to suppress his feelings, Song Jian soon noticed his hostility.
If his two followers were still alive, Qian Xiaohao would have had the confidence to ambush and kill Song Jian. However, he currently lacked that confidence.
âThis player is just too good, actually going toe-to-toe with a level 15 boss! Are we even playing the same game?â The hundreds of other players present were equally surprised, they paused and watched Song Jianâs battle with the Demon Lord intently.
By this time, the entire Demon Palace had become the battlefield for Song Jian and the Demon Lord alone. All the NPCs and players had merely become spectators.
Song Jianâs Vitality Points kept decreasing, although the Demon Lordâs rate of decrease was faster. However, his attacks seemed to become more ferocious as his Vitality Points decreased. It seemed like the lower his Vitality Points were, the higher his attack power became.
Gradually, Song Jian was finding it harder and harder to withstand the Demon Lordâs attacks, each hit causing him over a hundred points of damage. If he was hit with a skill, he would immediately lose five to six hundred Vitality Points. If got distracted he could potentially be killed instantly.
At this moment, a gigantic Desert Scorpion Beast Illusion suddenly appeared out of thin air. As soon as it appeared, its enormous stinger immediately aimed at the Demon Lordâs chest.
âGet out of my way, inferior creature!â The Demon Lord roared in fury, angered by the desert scorpionâs presumptuous attack. The strike that was originally aimed at Song Jian changed direction in mid-air and slashed towards the Scorpion Beast.
This attack seemed to be able to shatter the void. The Desert Scorpion, which couldnât have been normally targeted, shrieked in agony as it was hit by the stroke. Its entire body was marked by a fine slit. Then, it shattered like glass and exploded into thousands of pieces.
System: Your Scorpion Beast Helmet has been damaged, the helmetâs special ability cannot be activated for the next 12 hours;
Song Jian felt a jolt of shock. Was the Demon Lordâs attack that terrifying? Even an innocent attack could kill the Scorpion Beast soul which couldnât be locked or attacked. If the attack had landed on his body, could he have endured it?
After releasing this attack, the Demon Lord seemed somewhat energy-drained. It glanced at Song Jian and surprisingly turned around and walked toward the Bronze Throne.
âOh no, itâs going to restore its Vitality Points again!â Song Jian was alarmed.
With a thought, two level 15 Fire Elemental Spirits appeared beside Song Jian and charged at the Demon Lord.
Song Jian also leaped forward, stabbing his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword at the Demon Lordâs heart from behind;
At this point, the Demon Lord had grabbed onto the hand of the Bronze Throne, ready to sit down. The Fire Elemental Spirits, over a meter tall, had started to gather fireballs to toss at it.
Song Jianâs Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword had already pierced its heart.
As soon as the sword pierced the Demon Lordâs heart, an angry roar echoed in the Demon Palace that sounded as divine and majestic as a god.
The Demon Lord shivered, a look of disbelief filled its eyes.
âHow can this beâ¦? Is this the wrath of the Fire Godâ¦?â A red damage indicator floated above its head.
Finally, after a long time, the special effect of Song Jianâs ring, âEye of the Fire God,â had been activated. The Wrath of the Fire God caused an additional three hundred points of fire damage to the Demon Lord.
Click-
With a soft snap, the Demon Lord had crushed the handle of the Bronze throne in his hand. Everyone present turned pale. The most valuable thing in the entire Imperial Dragon Demon Palace was probably this Bronze Throne, yet the Demon Lord had accidentally damaged it in his surprise.
âIf we had acted earlier, we might have killed the Demon Lord by now, and the Bronze Throne would not have been damaged â¦â A thought like this was gnawing at everyoneâs mind like a poisonous insect. At this moment, Qian Xiaohaoâs fists were clenched so tight that his knuckles were turning white. His teeth were clenched so hard that a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, yet he was unaware of it. His gaze was fixed on the damaged Bronze Throne.
