Chapter 21: Knight
"Intruder, no mercy!!!" x2
One Corrupted Knight spoke in a low, hoarse voice.
Suddenly!
Two terrifying dark auras erupted.
『Speed Acceleration』!
『Speed Acceleration』!
The two Corrupted Knights acted with great tacit understanding, riding their warhorses, first accelerating, their hooves emitting blue flames.
Then,
『Dark Charge』!
『Dark Charge』!
The Corrupted Knights used a combo skill, in a standard knight charge posture, killing toward Su Liang, their spear tips flashing with eerie light, as if wanting to pierce Su Liang through.
The Corrupted Knights were good in both offense and defense, and having warhorses compensated for their lack of speed.
Unstoppable!
『Instant Stab』!
They didn't have anything on them that Su Liang was interested in or wanted to steal.
So—
No need to hold back!
Su Liang directly started a violent output.
He used an instant dash, his figure vanished, causing the Corrupted Knights’ attacks to miss.
At the same time.
He appeared behind one of the Corrupted Knights.
Poof——!
He hurriedly activated the skill, pressing the attack, instantly closing in.
Compared to the Iron-Eating Demon Ape, which was purely maxed out in constitution and defense, the Corrupted Knights, who developed in a balanced way in offense and defense, had much less health than the Iron-Eating Demon Ape.
Just one strike!
And Su Liang knocked off one-tenth of his health.
『Divine Concealment』!
In an instant, Su Liang’s figure faded rapidly.
"Intruder, nowhere to run!"
"Burn your soul!"
The two Corrupted Knights reacted quickly, speaking hoarsely.
『Sweeping Spear』!
『Reckoning』!
One backhanded a sweep toward Su Liang’s invisible position.
The other thrust a spear, the tip erupting with scorching black flames.
Unfortunately...
Su Liang had already slipped away.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!!!
Su Liang didn't change targets, his figure appearing like a ghost, relying on his high attack speed, slashing four times in a row.
Among them was one strike.
Carrying the break-stealth effect of Divine Concealment, 10 times the damage!
Half his health was left.
『Guardian Holy Shield』!
The Corrupted Knight was shocked, raising his hand to put a shield on himself.
『Full-Power Strike』!
Su Liang curled his lips, sword light flashing.
His attack arrived first!
The Corrupted Knight was directly stunned by Su Liang, and his shield skill was also interrupted.
『Piercing Spear』!
The other Corrupted Knight activated a skill, attempting to block Su Liang’s attack.
Whoosh!!!
A black long spear like a meteor tore through the sky, projected over...
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!!!!!
Su Liang didn't dodge or evade, taking the damage of this skill that ignored defense, attacking the half-health Corrupted Knight with all his might.
His greatsword was slashing out afterimages, his attack speed terrifyingly fast!
『Undying Fanaticism』!
『Storm Spear Thrust』!
『Annihilation』...
The other Corrupted Knight applied a fanaticism buff to himself, dark red light glowing on his body.
His long spear pointed continuously, black spear light flashing, attacks falling on Su Liang one after another.
2.5 seconds later...
Su Liang lost one-tenth of his health, while the half-health Corrupted Knight finally recovered from the stun state.
At this time,
its health was already running low.
『Instant Stab』!
The 4-second cooldown had just finished, and Su Liang instantly leaped onto the horse’s back, a sword fiercely stabbing into the Corrupted Knight’s kidney.
【Ding! You have killed the Corrupted Knight (Dark Gold BOSS), gaining 10 million experience points!】
This Corrupted Knight fell powerlessly from the warhorse.
『Death Trample』!
Seeing its master die, the Corrupted Warhorse reared up angrily, trampling the ground.
Wanting to shake Su Liang off its back.
『Instant Stab』!
Su Liang ignored the Corrupted Warhorse, relying on the skill refreshed by the kill.
Attacking the remaining Corrupted Knight.
Poof!
『Shadow Consecutive Slash』!
A sword slashed out, then five black streams of light passed through his body, black ripples spreading out.
Then.
The greatsword in Su Liang’s hand flew.
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!!!
After a series of attacks.
Even if the Corrupted Knight put a shield on himself, it was of no use.
His health plummeted...
Finally,
a sword cleanly and decisively swept across the Corrupted Knight’s neck, blood splattering.
【Ding! You have killed the Corrupted Knight (Dark Gold BOSS), gaining 10 million experience points!】
In just about 10 seconds, both Dark Gold BOSSes were dead.
When the Corrupted Knights died, their turbid eyes became clear, and Su Liang felt a trace of relief in their eyes.
Perhaps...
Falling from light to darkness was just because of a knight’s loyalty, following the King’s will...
He glanced at the two Corrupted Warhorses that were still charging toward him, which posed no threat at all.
With a few casual sword strikes and an Instant Stab, he one-shotted them.
"Neigh!!!"
"Neigh!!!"
The Corrupted Warhorses let out long, mournful cries, falling heavily beside their masters.
【Ding! You have killed a Corrupted Warhorse (Gold BOSS), gaining 4 million experience points!】
【Ding! You have killed a Corrupted Warhorse (Gold BOSS), gaining 4 million experience points!】
After the loot was automatically picked up.
Su Liang slowly shifted his gaze, looking at the throne high up in the great hall.
(Event period: October 1st to October 7th)
Their gazes met.
"Seeking-death ant, you have successfully angered me!!!"
Alakes on the throne was furious, speaking in a creepy voice.
But at the same time, he was somewhat shocked inside.
Even he hadn't expected that the Corrupted Knights would be killed by Su Liang in just over ten seconds right before his eyes.
At this moment!
The way he looked at Su Liang was no longer like looking at an ant, but looking at him squarely.
And Su Liang only looked at him once, and he couldn't help himself.
Staring fixedly at the BOSS’s panel.
【Monster】: Corrupted King · Alakes
【Grade】: Epic BOSS
【Level】: Lv40
【Skills】: Dead Resurrection, Life-Steal Aura, King Aura, Cold Wind Impact, Corrupted Blade...
【Talent】: Supremacy of Kingship (SS-Grade)
【Description】: King of the ancient kingdom, reborn after death due to the influence of disaster power, his strength is recovering, preparing to make the ancient kingdom great again.
『Supremacy of Kingship』 (SS-Grade): Kingship is supreme; anyone who refuses to submit to kingship will have all attributes reduced by 20%.
Su Liang licked his lips, greedy brilliance shining in his eyes.
Luxurious!
Too luxurious!
An SS-grade talent and twenty-something top-tier skills; it was worth it for me to save my talent’s active skill for you!
Especially this SS-grade talent.
It was simply unreasonable.
Even if it were a god, refusing to submit to him would reduce all attributes by 20%.
And there was no limit to the number of targets!
In a sense, it was comparable to an SSS-grade talent!
This talent...
He must obtain it!!!
『Empty Hands』!
Su Liang released his talent without changing his expression.
【Ding! Congratulations to the player for successfully activating talent 『Empty Hands』, stealing: 『Life-Steal Aura』!】
He didn't steal the talent directly in one go, but Su Liang wasn't disappointed.
『Life-Steal Aura』: After activation, friendly units within 1000 yards will gain 10% life-steal effect; when health is below 30%, the life-steal effect increases to 20%. Consumes 100 mana points per second.
A top-tier aura skill.
10% life-steal; with his current attack power, one skill attack would basically heal him to full health.
It seems...
It will be easy facing this BOSS next.
Alakes, who was just about to make a move, frowned.
Feeling that in the dark...
Something had disappeared, but it seemed like nothing had happened?
Unlike the passive "Light-Fingered" of "Empty Hands," the active effect ignored target grade and was silent and soundless.
It wouldn't be discovered.
An illusion?
Never mind, let’s deal with this bug in front of me first.
Alakes stood up from the throne, looking indifferently at Su Liang at the palace entrance.
A frost greatsword appeared in his hand, emitting cold and black aura, the blade covered in runes, with a skull decoration between the blade and the hilt.
『Berserk Aura』!
『Evil Aura』!
『Slaughter Aura』!
『Death Aura』!
『King Aura』!
Every step Alakes took, an aura slowly generated under his feet.
Five steps taken...
Two red, two black, and one gold—five auras had already been born under his feet.
The BUFFs were maxed out!
"Die!"
The next instant, Alakes stomped his feet fiercely.
"Boom——!"
The ground shattered.
