Chapter 36: Spirit General


    After around two hours, Ling Xue and I cleared all the monsters on the second floor of the ancient tomb. The attack of the Light Flow Sword was very overbearing and the level 35 Enhanced Monsters could not withstand this devastation. Ling Xue was filled with excitement as her little beautiful face was flushed as she ran around looking for monsters.


    I went up to level 33, 89% and Ling Xue reached level 31, unexpectedly entering the top ten ranking for Sunset City. Of course this was because the Battle Soul members had left Sunset City.


    So, I took this chance to return to the first floor, but I noticed many little parties along the way. What wasn''t strange was that their equipment wasn''t strong enough and they were only around level 25, so they were all massacred by the newly respawned Blue Wolf Guards.


    While I was considering whether I should go and pick up potions or not, Ling Xue excitedly said in the party channel, "Little Fool,e quickly! I see the second floor''s boss!"


    Hearing this, I immediately rushed back to the second floor. Carefully avoiding the newly spawned Spirit Warriors, I opened my little map and saw Ling Xue''s orange dot.


    In less than two minutes, I had already found Ling Xue''s beautiful running figure with a giant three meter tall general waving a long sword following behind her. With a "hua" sound, a shock wave was generated that sent Ling Xue flying.


    I quickly rushed forward and caught Ling Xue''s slender waist. Not only was she sent flying, her HP had been reduced by a section!


    I looked over and my heart filled with shock. This general was wearing a ck armour with terrifying faint glowing eyes.


    [Spirit General] (Silver Grade Boss)


    Level: 38


    Attack: 320-450


    Defense: 250


    HP: 40000


    Attack type: Armour piercing attacks


    Additional skills: Heaven Shocking Earth Tremble


    I couldn''t help being a little surprised. I immediately shared its stats with Ling Xue with the result of Ling Xue being surprised, but still giving a grin as she said, "What can we do? He actually had an armour piercing attack, no wonder he could deal so much damage to me!"


    I said in a deep voice, "There''s no need to fight it head on. I''ll be the main damage, Ling Xue, you just find a chance tounch the Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers attack!"


    Ling Xue''s eyes filled with excitement as she smiled and said, "Alright!"


    So we immediately spread out. It was as if the Spirit General recognized Ling Xue as it raised its spear and chased after her. Each footstep let out a deep sound, as if it was ringing throughout the entire Ancient Ghost Tomb!


    I gripped the Golden Bow in my hand and immediately sent out an armour piercing arrow. It collided with the Spirit General''s chest te with a "peng". The armour piercing effect of the arrow ripped apart the defenses of the Spirit General, dealing 568 points of damage!


    Immediately, the Spirit General was attracted by me and charged over while raising its weapon. It was fortunate that it had a slow move speed, so I could still escape.


    Ling Xue slipped forward and the Flowing Light Sword sparkled as it released a Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers!


    "456!"


    "432!"


    It had to be said, facing this boss'' high 250 points of defense, even Ling Xue with the Flowing Light Sword could not deal that much damage!


    The swordsman had a normal attack and their damage against something with high defense like this Spirit General was not very clear. If it was Ling Yue instead, she would have done at least 1000 damage to the boss with her fireball!


    But fighting like this was pretty safe. I did note close to the boss and that beautiful girl Ling Xue was incredibly smart, only causing scratches on the boss before running back. The Light Flow Sword left marks on the Spirit General''s armour and slowly its HP was being drained away.


    In less than 10 minutes, the Spirit General was already down to one fifth of its max HP. I revealed a faint smile and said, "I wonder what kind of good this a level 38 boss will drop for us!"


    Ling Xue dimples appeared as she smiled and said, "No matter what drops, it''s all for you. This time, I''ll be your training partner!"


    I revealed a smile, "No need. You can still keep the swordsman equipment since I have no need for them!"


    Ling Xue did not say anything else and once again danced around like a butterfly. The boss ran around in a circle, but it still could not touch her!


    As the boss was about to fall, the sound of people''s voices came from the second floor entrance.


    My heart was filled with anxiety as I secretlyined. At this critical moment, people actually came in. I just hope that they are friends!


    However, the world was not that easy. When they walked closer, I saw that they had the tag "Fated" in their names!


    I couldn''t help cursing. Fuck, it''s already 3 am, so why are there so many Fated bastards online?


    So I entered the party channel and loudly said, "Ling Xue, we might not be able to fight the boss anymore. Prepare to PK!"


    Once she heard the word PK, Ling Xue became visibly happier. Immediately giving me a sweet agreeing sound. She suddenly gave up chasing the boss and ran off into the distance to heal her HP!


    Standing in front of the team, it was actually Fated Madman and Fated Bloodthirster, my old personal enemies. After entering into Spirit of Grief, I had fought with them twice, ending in my victory....


    After Fated Madman saw me, he immediately revealed a sinister face as he said, "This world is truly small. Fated spent over fifty gold coins to get the location of this General''s Tomb, but I never thought you would find it first!"


    I said in a stern manner, "It''s you guys again!"


    Fated Madmanughed, "Easily Angered Bookworm, I want to see if you''re lucky again this time!"


    After he finished speaking, Fated Madman turned around to order the Fated yers behind him, "Prepare to fight. Whoever kills Easily Angered Bookworm will receive one hundred gold coins!"


    Fuck! 100 gold coins! I even want to kill myself!


    So, several berserkers from Fated charged out, holding battle axes in their hands. Slowlying closer, they had appearances clearly harbouring evil intent. The several mages and archers gradually moved closer, preparing tounch their attacks!


    I looked at the distance they were from me and slightly moved back a little. I stood there as I shot an ice arrow into the distance which made them slow down. It was very clear that if I let theme close enough to shoot an ice arrow, I would not have a chance at all. After all, there were over fifty people here with the lowest being level 20 and Fated Madman was the highest at level 28!


    In the party channel, Ling Xue''s sweet voice rang out, "What do we do? I''ll immediately attack, how about that?"


    I immediately said, "Don''te out! Although you have a Golden Grade Weapon now, your defense is not at Golden Equipment level, you definitely do not have the ability to withstand a dozen mages'' attacks. If you drop the Light Flow Sword, it would not be worth it at all!


    Ling Xue blinked her eyes and smiled as she asked, "Then what do we do? Do you want me to stand here like I''m scared and do nothing?"


    I took in a deep breath and I looked at where the Spirit Warriors were respawning. Then I had an idea and I said in the party channel, "Ling Xue, go behind them and pull monsters in. I will pull monsters in from in front of them. We''ll kill them with a borrowed knife!"


    With how intelligent Ling Xue was, she immediately understood what I meant. She quietly gripped her sword and circled behind Fated cage. There were Spirit Warriors spawning there!


    At this moment, Fated Bloodthirster entered into his stealth mode. This was Fated''s number one assassin at level 27 with a full set of Bronze Equipment that could not bepared. One could not look down on his attack power!


    When Fated Bloodthrister vanished, my heart turned cold and I immediately flew back!


    Fated Madman angrily shouted, "You want to leave? How could it be easy? Brothers, explode this little brat!"


    In my heart, I was secretlyughing. I suddenly rushed into the center of the Spirit Warriors and quickly flying forward, I rushed through the Spirit Warriors, walking in a perfect Z formation. In that moment, arge group of Spirit Warriors raised their spears as they angrily shouted and chased after me!


    In a mere two minutes, I had already pulled in 50 Spirit Warriors. Only I knew how dangerous this was because I still wasn''t proficient enough to do this still. I was hit by the Spirit Warriors several times and my HP fell down. I was so scared that my face turned white, I managed to stay alive by chugging potions!


    When I turned around, I felt a pain in my back and a red light shined out.


    "Ding~!"


    Combat Notification: You have suffered yer Fated Bloodthirster''s sneak attack, losing 568 HP!


    Immediately, my heart turned cold. My life suddenly fell down and I had less than 100 HP!


    Without any time to think, I rushed forward while chugging potions. Fated Bloodthirster gave a coldugh and suddenly activated the assassin''s long ranged attack, turning into a shadow to chase after me!
