Chapter 66: The Blood-Recovering Magic Puppet

Because the boss magic puppet's health axis triggered twice, both at 20%.

So when the boss's health was pressed down to 50%, nobody paid too much attention.

But at this moment the ultimate magic puppet directly soared into the air.

"Careful, fall back!"

The sudden change caught Su Sheng off guard, and he hurriedly spoke up to warn.

Immediately everyone began to retreat, except Su Sheng, who stayed in place with a bow stance and shield raised, on guard.

Boom!

Immediately after, the ultimate magic puppet came crashing down.

A huge shockwave, accompanied by rings of black energy, surged outward in all directions.

Whoosh~

There was nowhere to dodge, because the shockwave's range covered the entire hall.

Everyone was blown away.

-1235

A huge thing jumped out from above Su Sheng's head.

Su Sheng startled; this hit, aside from himself, would have instantly killed everyone else, and it directly left him at half health.

However, after checking the team panel, no one had died, but everyone's health was at half; after glancing at the combat prompt, Su Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief,

It turned out that this global AOE dealt percentage-based damage, reducing everyone's health by fifty percent of their max.

Indeed, this was a global AOE impossible to dodge; if the damage were too high, it would be a bug.

"Everyone, drink blood medicine." Actually it went without saying; everyone uniformly pulled out their blood bottles and took a sip.

Su Sheng got up and looked at the puppet in the field.

At this moment, the puppets in the field lay scattered on the ground, with rings of black energy winding around those puppet parts.

Moreover, above them, there was a health bar.

+2000

+2000

+2000

…

The health bar was empty, but it was rapidly refilling, and beneath it there was a white bar that was slowly rising.

Although I don't know this boss's skill details, Su Sheng knows that we absolutely must not let it fill that empty health bar.

Attack!

One strike!

-601

Huh?

Su Sheng frowned.

Weak point broken state!

One could see that the health bar that had just been increased had decreased a segment.

Su Sheng hurriedly continued his attacks.

Normal attack, normal attack, Heroic Strike, Shield Strike! Fang!

-601

-601

-420

-420

-1020

-1632

A dense string of damage numbers popped up, and I don't know if Su Sheng was just unlucky, but not a single crit appeared.

"Quick, suppress this health bar; now is the weak point broken state!"

Even though Su Sheng's attack speed wasn't slow, he still couldn't suppress this recovery speed; the healing frequency was too fast, and the blank health bar's amount was still slowly increasing.

Upon hearing this, the others hurriedly joined the damage-dealing team.

Under everyone's combined output, we finally managed to suppress the health bar's recovery; it was still slowly decreasing.

However, the white bar beneath the health bar was also rising quickly,

If nothing unexpected, once the white bar fills up, this state will end.

Sure enough, not long after, the white bar reached the top.

Instantly, the health bar disappeared.

Click click click~

Piece by piece, the puppet parts, under the black energy's entanglement, rapidly reassembled.

But Su Sheng's expression was not good.

That blank health bar just now still wasn't fully suppressed; mainly because at the start everyone ran far away, and when they came back to output, the rhythm couldn't keep up.

When the white bar reached the top and the puppet reassembled, the blank health bar still had about twenty percent or so left.

Soon the ultimate magic puppet was fully assembled again.

However, the health bar, which originally was only at fifty percent, has now recovered to sixty percent or higher.

Everyone's expression looked a bit grim.

But there's no way; we can't see the boss's skills, we completely don't know its skill mechanics, and it's good that Su Sheng reacts quickly—if we let it fill that empty health bar and reorganize, would the boss's health directly recover to full?

If that were the case, they would really have no chance to defeat this boss.

"Alright, don't get discouraged, seize the time, keep outputting, I'll draw aggro."

Taunt!

Su Sheng spoke up to cheer everyone up.

Unfortunately, I was preparing to upgrade my equipment at Level 20, but it's all in the warehouse, the new skill quest isn't finished, and the Level 20 knight skill also requires going back to town to find a profession instructor to learn it.

Otherwise, I guess it could be a bit easier.

But for now, thinking about that is useless; we should just seize the time to fight the boss, as there are only about forty-plus minutes of game time left.

Thus we resumed the previous rhythm and began to tackle the boss.

But when the boss's health reached fifty percent again, another abnormality occurred.

Everyone frowned, wondering if they had to trigger that mechanism again.

The same Health Axis, triggered a second time—this is obviously unscientific.

Helpless, everyone could only prepare.

But this time the magic puppet boss didn't produce a shock; instead, it scattered some puppet parts and dark energy, quickly reassembling into three ordinary puppets.

Summoning minions, fortunately there are only three.

Su Sheng felt that if it weren't for suppressing that empty health bar earlier, letting the boss recover to full health and then fight again to fifty percent health would have summoned even more minions.

"Aside from Ah Sheng, all melee, take the monsters." Lin Huan hurriedly spoke.

These three little monsters are the same level of puppets as those in the previous passage.

Li Xiao immediately took on one by himself.

Having been inspired by Su Sheng earlier, Li Xiao is capable of soloing it, though his speed is slow.

"Zhaodi, Hao Tian, you two will have to work hard; Mingxin must also watch Sheng's health, possibly unable to look after you." Lin Huan said while precisely attacking the boss's weak spot.

"No problem, big guy, we'll each take one." Wu Zhaidi grinned.

Huan Yu Hao Tian weakly nodded, appearing somewhat lacking in confidence.

"Wenyan, help Zhaodi."

"Ziyuan, Qiqi, go help Hao Tian; Peipei, support Hao Tian's side output, aiming to quickly take down one, then use Focus Fire to take down the other."

"I and Wenwan will suppress the boss's health."

Lin Huan directed in an orderly manner.

In a situation where a bunch of melee attackers can't even hit the boss's weak point, their output is limited.

But previously, Wu Zhaodi and Hao Tian taking turns tanking one, with Huang Mingxin providing heals, were already more than enough.

Now each person tanks one, output is even lower, and I don't know if it will work.

Without Murong Peipei the mage, Lin Huan plus Li Wenwan and Su Sheng can only barely suppress the boss's health recovery speed.

But without a mage, it's uncertain whether they can handle these three puppets, so they must free up a core DPS to quickly deal with those three minions.

As long as they can hold steady, suppress the boss's health recovery, and wait for them to clear those minion puppets, everything can return to normal.

For a moment, all four battlefields were locked in a fierce struggle.

Those suppressing the boss's health were Su Sheng, Lin Huan, Li Wenwan, and Priest Huang Mingxin.

Li Xiao, dueling a puppet minion.

Li Wenyan and Wu Zhaodi, beaten and fleeing with heads in hands, could only say they were holding off the puppet; neither fighting nor riding could kill it.

The relatively normal side is that of Huan Yu Hao Tian, Qiqi, and Ziyuan, with Mage Grandpa Peipei's output, the minion puppets' health is steadily decreasing.

The relatively normal side is that of Huan Yu Hao Tian, Zhou Qiqi, and Zhang Ziyuan; there is the output of Murong Peipei, the law grandpa, and my little brother's puppet's HP is steadily decreasing.
