Chapter 774: Chapter 774: Reward
Vortex Fireball!
Song Jian controlled the Black Dragon, casting Dragon Language Magic. A fireball that swirled like a starry nebula ruthlessly slammed into the World Boss, instantly drawing the Bossâs aggro to the Black Dragon.
Watching the Black Dragon in mid-air, the Demon Guard Commander let out a low growl and swung its war blade violently. A dazzling red Qi strike cleaved towards the Black Dragon, seemingly tearing space itself.
The Black Dragon flapped its wings, barely dodging the direct hit of the Qi strike. However, it was still injured by the residual force. A large chunk of scales on its abdomen was shattered, resulting in over a thousand damage points floating above its head.
Fury filled the Black Dragonâs eyes as it spewed a scorching Dragon Breath towards the Demon Guard Commander. It spread its wings, flew over the commanderâs head, and ruthlessly swiped its sharp claws at its head.
An evil glint appeared in the Demon Guard Commanderâs eyes as it saw the Black Dragon pouncing towards it. Surprisingly, it leaped up, and its entire body soared into the sky. It punched at the Black Dragon, sending the airborne dragon flying away.
âWhat the hell, is this a joke?â Song Jian was dumbfounded. The combat power the Demon Guard Commander had just displayed was terrifying, capable of punching the Black Dragon away. If it had unleashed such power earlier, it wouldnât matter if the Fallen Angel Alliance had brought twice the number of people, they would still be killed by this World Boss.
Ten Thousand Facets Sword Technique, go!
At the thought, Song Jian directed the four long swords in the air to trace four arcs towards the Demon Guard Commander. They fluttered around it, causing a snowstorm and countless Sword Qi sweeping towards the Demon Guard Commander.
Gazing at the struggling Black Dragon rising from the ground, Song Jianâs eyes flickered. If he could charm this World Boss and turn it into his slave, wouldnât he be able to roam the Desolate Highland?
With this in mind, Song Jian took out the Book of the Abyss and recited the Abyss Intimidation spell loudly. However, as soon as the first syllable left his mouth, a sudden âhumâ resounded in his mind, as if a heavy hammer had struck the back of his head.
A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and more than a thousand backlash damage points floated above his head.
System: The targetâs power exceeds yours by too much, Abyss Intimidation cannot be used!
A bright red system prompt appeared before Song Jianâs eyes.
Having no choice, Song Jian put away the Book of the Abyss and focused all his attention on controlling the four flying swords.
If he couldnât charm the Boss, he would have to kill it and see what kind of loot the World Boss would drop for him.
A World Bossâs defense, attack, and Vitality Points far exceeded Song Jianâs. If it were a Boss at its peak state with full Vitality Points, someone like Song Jian wouldnât stand a chance. However, this Bossâs Vitality Points were now less than 3%, only around eight thousand. With Song Jianâs current strength, he had a chance to kill it.
Hearing the roars of the World Boss from afar, Thomasâs heart bled. He glanced back and murder oozed from him like a tangible substance.
âGuild leader, should we go disturb him? We canât defeat the Boss, but we canât let him take advantage!â one of the Alliance players who had barely escaped said indignantly.
After wavering for a while, Thomas finally gave up on this tempting idea. Their greed had already caused great damage to the Fallen Angel Alliance, resulting in the annihilation of an entire Elite Team. He was heartbroken. There were only three or four of them now, and with the humanâs strength, they would likely die if they went back to cause trouble.
âThe Boss only has a few thousand Vitality Points left. We donât stand a chance!â Thomas said hatefully. If the Boss had over 10% Vitality Points, he would have done everything in his power to prevent someone from taking it. No one would be willing to willingly hand over a Boss that their Alliance had worked so hard to defeat.
However, with a several thousand Vitality Points remaining, the boss would probably be killed by Song Jian by the time they returned. Wouldnât they just be walking into their deaths if they tried to interfere?
As the nearby player prepared to argue further, he suddenly heard a shrill scream from the World Boss in the distance. A huge ball of flames rose into the sky, illuminating half of the canyon as bright as day.
âHow is it possible? Even a World Boss with only a few thousand Vitality Points left shouldnât be killed so quicklyâ¦â The player stared blankly at the soaring flames in the distance, mumbling to himself.
Song Jianâs damage output was simply terrifying. In less than a minute, he killed the World Boss with just a few thousand Vitality Points remaining. The Fallen Angel Alliance players who had witnessed the power of a World Boss now realized how formidable Song Jian was.
âLetâs return and issue a bounty on this human by the Alliance. Spread the word that he has stolen our Fallen Angel Allianceâs World Boss, and that he has obtained all the dropped loot. Among them is at least one Epic Equipment!â Thomas gritted his teeth and said.
âThis⦠this is too humiliatingâ¦â A player beside Thomas showed hesitation on his face.
âHumph! Our reputation has already been destroyed. An entire Elite Team was annihilated. How long do you think we can hide this?â Thomas said in a low voice, âWe must let everyone in the Desolate Highland know that this human possesses an Epic Equipment. And, if they kill him, theyâll be rewarded with one million Doomsday Coins!â
âWhat? A million Doomsday Coins!â Someone nearby exclaimed.
âYes, thatâs just the bounty put forward by the Fallen Angel Alliance. The Mercenary Guildâs offering is separate!â Thomas said through gritted teeth.
A million Doomsday Coins was a significant sum, but it wasnât beyond the means of the Fallen Angel Guild. As long as they could kill this human, Thomas believed that one million Doomsday Coins was worth it.
âI heard that the Mercenary Guild has also increased the bounty for this guy, and it seems to be around a million too!â A player suddenly said.
âPerfect! With two million Doomsday Coins and an Epic Equipment as bait, I canât believe this guy could keep wreaking havoc in the Desolate Highland for much longer!â Thomas glanced one last time at the rising flames in the distance before turning and walking towards the entrance to the Demon Slayer Canyon.
The remaining players exchanged glances and followed him immediately.
At last, the Demon Guard Commander fell under Song Jianâs sword. The Black Dragon was severely injured again and was sent back to the Pet Space to recover. Its previous injuries hadnât fully healed, with its Vitality Points only a bit over half of its maximum. The new injuries compounded the old, making recovery slower than ever.
But it was all worth it. Gazing at the fallen World Boss and the loot spread around its corpse, Song Jianâs eyes gleamed with excitement, and he couldnât wait to step forward.
