<h4>Chapter 309: Archdemon Fighter</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion
Burning-Eyed Shana’s ss was a rare advancement of warrior like Zhao Feng’s Fengshui Master. It was not considered as a Hidden ss. It was not unique as others could pick up the advanced ss. However, the advancement quest would be extremely hard.
Almost all rare advancement sses were strong and had a specific role. Zhao Feng’s Fengshui Master for example, was focused solely on support. He could not heal and had very average attack power. In a small party, most would ignore him. Onlyrge parties would benefit from him.
Archdemon Fighter had its own pros and cons. Among the warriors, this ss was the only one that had a great range of attack. An Archdemon Fighter’s weapon of choice would be a spear. Hence, it had a longer rangepared to a hammer or a sword. However, by having a spear, close quarterbat would be extremely weak. When an enemy got too close to an Archdemon Fighter, they would be helpless like a Hunter.
Although the attack range of an Archdemon Fighter was longer and further than a typical warrior, their maximum attack range was only twenty meters. To put it in perspective, a magician’s cast range would be thirty-five meters and a bow-user would have a maximum attack range of forty-five meters.
An Archdemon Fighter not only had limited range attack—their continuous fighting capability was also weak. The ss’s advantage was having a very powerful burst of attack. Or in gaming terms, nuking power.
When an Archdemon Fighter activated Berserk mode, they would lose 1% of their maximum health points per second, unable to receive heal, in exchange for gaining 50% increase in attack power as well as 100% magic attack imbued attack.
If a Berserk was like a gueri attack, an Archdemon Fighter would be the suicide squad bomber. For a short duration, they would gain an explosive burst of attack in exchange for their survivability. If an Archdemon Fighter has the element of surprise, any Hidden ss yer would be killed by him. On the other hand, if an Archdemon Fighter was caught off guard, they would not prolong the fight, perhaps even consider running away since an Archdemon Fighter would lose.
“Everything seems fine. Let’s go!”
The team had Little Rain as the magician and Zhao Feng, a full-time supporter and a half-baked attacker. All in all, the teamposition was a mess. Even so, Jiang Fei was toozy to rearrange the team.
“Bottom of the Bloodpool” was in the middle of the city hence everyone arrived fairly fast. Once Jiang Fei chose the dungeon difficulty, everyone entered.
“EH?!” cried Eversummer when she saw Isabe walking behind Jiang Fei.
“She does not appear in the party’s member list. How did she get in?” asked Lady Casanova when she too noticed Isabe.
“Don’t fret. She’s not a yer. She’s my battlepanion!” Jiang Fei purposely omitted the word pet since he knew that Isabe would be angry if he did.
Now that everyone was already in the dungeon, Isabe’s true nature was exposed. Jiang Fei did not forget to hide her, it was only that he was toozy to continue ying dumb with everyone. Besides, he had already let her go all out during the war. Even though there were some who had not yet seen her with their own eyes, the news about Isabe’s transformation into a powerful dragon would be spread across Dawnlight City faster than a viral video.
“I see.”
Everyone was shocked for a moment when they understood the situation and promised Jiang Fei to keep it a secret. However, Jiang Fei did not care about their promises. At that point, Jiang Fei not keeping Isabe in the pet slot was proof that Jiang Fei did not mind about her real nature being exposed.
Even though Isabe’s true nature was a surprise to everyone but once they knew that she was not a yer, her powerful attack became easier to digest. If she was a yer, it would be hard to believe since her attack and stats would be too powerful for a yer to even have. No one could have the power to kill 200,000 yers like that. On the other hand, it was considered to be normal for NPC (non-yable character) to be that strong.
As to how Jiang Fei managed to enve such a powerful NPC would be a mystery. It was either luck or perhaps Jiang Fei was just too sly of a person. How else would he be a guild master?
Themotion with Isabe ended very swiftly and after everyone confirmed their roles and their positions, the team charged into the first wave of monsters.
“Anew, you’re to deal the killing blow if other attacks could not finish the monster. Remember to protect the two Cloth armors,” said Jiang Fei to Anew Returner. In a party dungeon, every member of the party must have their specific roles and not to attack random monsters at will. When Jiang Fei was alone before, he had Isabe to take care of the battle. Everything would end so fast that Jiang Fei did not need to even attack. In a party, if the tank had failed to hold on to a monster’s aggro, they would head straight toward those who dealt the highest damage, mostmonly, the magicians. Hence, if the party was not careful, death would be inevitable, especially in higher difficulty dungeon.
“I don’t really care about how you guys work together but I’m going to attack. Find a proper rhythm for yourself,” said Jiang Fei before he charged in head first and cast Instant Ice Burst.
me Burst!
That was Jiang Fei’s and Isabe rhythm.
A sea of explosion filled the screen as damage texts popped out.
-14,554
-15,731
...
Since Isabe could not equip anything on them, they relied on their levels to gain power. Now that Jiang Fei had reached Level 42, Isabe’s overall strength had greatly increased.
“WTF! Over 10k damage? How is that possible for an AoE skill?” Anew Returner cried in awe.
“Kill the intruders!”
After Isabe’s attack, all the aggro of the monster was focused on her. Not even Jiang Fei could deal such potent damage, much less anyone else.
ck Dragon Breath!
A stream of darkness came outpouring from Isabe’s mouth and instantly killed all the monsters.
“F*cking hell! No wonder Jiang Fei could solo this dungeon! Not even forty yers could clear this dungeon as fast as him!” said Anew Returner.
At that point, it was as Lady Casanova has anticipated much earlier, Jiang Fei was clearing the dungeon whilst babysitting the other party members. There was not much to do since Isabe and Jiang Fei’sbination attack was too strong. All they could do was to simply attack a monster that had slid out of their position and escaped from Isabe’s certain death skill.
“Now I know how the guild master remained at the top of the ranking board! We have eight people right now and we are getting experience points like a waterfall. Imagine having all those experience points alone. He could even gain two to three level in just one dungeon run!” said Anew Returner to himself. Ever since he had entered the dungeon with the party, he had been muttering to himself.
“No one would call you a mute if you shut your bloody mouth!” Lady Casanova screamed at Anew. This bugger was her underling. Before the merging of the guilds, she had been patient with his bbering. However, since this was the first time Jiang Fei had invited her, she had to take care of that chatterbox. Talking to himself nonstop was so embarrassing for Lady Casanova.
“Hehe...”
While Lady Casanova was fuming, the others were giggling. They had nothing against Anew Returner’s constant bber since they were ignoring him. Instead, they were amazed at how he was able to continue talking to himself while attacking monsters at the same time. That mouth was like Chris Tucker’s 7-11 [1].
