Fatal Shot

Chapter 577: Number One Master of Storm City

After being pushed to its tipping point, the giant Sea Serpent had gone completely berserk and for a moment, no one dared to even get close to it.

“It currently has 54% HP remaining. The recovery speed is around 1% per second...” Scout players continued to report the giant Sea Serpent’s data in real time on the regional comms channel.

The Quasi-Boss monster had a million HP, which was quite amazing. Even after a series of attacks, it still had more than half of its HP remaining.

The only consolation for the players would probably be that ever since the battle began, both the Quasi-Bosses – the Level 50 Overlord Sea Serpent and the slightly higher level Shark Turtle, which had been bullying all the players who fell into the ocean, had only displayed physical attack capabilities and had not shown any energy type attack methods.

Otherwise, a Quasi-Boss monster of that caliber would most likely only need to encase a guided area of effect skill to wipe them out since the players had nowhere to run in the current setting. That would be a huge loss.

It was probably also due to the fact that both the monsters only had physical attack methods that each of these two Level 50 plus Quasi-Boss monsters had such a huge amount of HP. Additionally, the Shark Turtle had a higher defense stat than the Boss Grade Steel Beetle.

“While it only possessed physical attacks, this guy is not easy to deal with. In particular, since the fight is set on a military ship, we can’t increase the distance. As such, many professions aren’t able to increase the distance between them and the monster to maximize their damage output.” Feng Luo thought to himself.

“Bang!”

“-5367!”

Feng Luo held Wings of Death and fired another shot. The bullet accurately struck a spot on the giant Sea Serpent’s body which was previously injured by a skill and inflicted a Weak Point damage.

Without inflicting a Fatal Damage, even if Feng Luo were facing this Quasi-Boss giant Sea Serpent whose defense stat was not weak, the damage dealt from a normal Armor-piercing Round was only around 5,000.

Feng Luo did not shoot at the giant Sea Serpent’s heart or the brain or other vital spots, and did not use special bullets because they were all intentional.

The giant Sea Serpent still had more than 50% of its HP. Even if Feng Luo were to inflict a five-digit Fatal Damage, he would have no chance of killing the giant Sea Serpent. If he, whose single shot damage output was already way above any normal player, dealt a Fatal Damage attack, there was a 90% chance that he would attract its aggro and become its target again.

If the giant Sea Serpent were to charge towards him in an enraged and berserk mode, in a setting like the military ship where hiding places were scarce and it was incredibly difficult to dodge, Feng Luo, even with almost 20,000 HP, would likely not be able to escape its jaws of death like that Earth Manipulator.

“Bro, your damage, that’s pretty damn sweet. This rifle also looks super cool too!” Feng Luo suddenly heard a voice coming from beside him.

Speak of the devil...

The Earth Manipulator who was inside the mouth of the giant Sea Serpent and broke one of its fangs had appeared right beside Feng Luo at that moment.

He was using some type of blood tonic on his body while looking at the spot where Feng Luo’s bullet just hit. He lamented on the damage number that popped up above the giant Sea Serpent’s head.

He looked genuinely intrigued and slightly shocked when he spoke.

Feng Luo’s current position was extremely beneficial for him to dish out attacks. Additionally, there was ample space for him to hide. It was the best position for long-range attackers that he could find after he entered the ship’s cabin from the deck earlier.

The Earth Manipulator had similar battle awareness and thought the same way.

As such, after he escaped death from the jaws of the giant Sea Serpent, he chose that location in order to get another chance to attack.

“Bang!”

“-5349!”

“Your Energy Formation is also pretty sick. That shield is quite insane too.” Feng Luo fired another shot casually while praising the Earth Manipulator. While his movement seemed casual, his shot hit the giant Sea Serpent on the deck without making any error, dealing another 5,000 plus damage.

He was telling the truth. Not only was the Earth Manipulator able to get out of the Quasi-Boss monster’s mouth safely, but he was also able to break off one of its fangs.

There weren’t that many Earth Manipulators in War who had such a crazy strong energy shield. He was like a manipulator version of Big Pineapple.

“He he... No, no...” The Earth Manipulator laughed proudly first, but then he thought that he should be a bit more humble.

Before he could finish being humble, the young Earth Manipulator’s eyes suddenly widened as he looked toward a location on the battlefield and spoke, “Damn it. That guy Sword Ki Long River is trying to set the pace again.”

On top of a defensive cannon across the two of them, the silver-armored Light Armor Warrior who first stuck that alloy sword on the giant Sea Serpent’s head had appeared again.

He was hiding with an alloy sword in hand. Just like Feng Luo and the Earth Manipulator, he was waiting for the right opportunity.

“That guy is Sword Ki Long River?” After hearing the Earth Manipulator’s words, Feng Luo turned around and saw the person.

It was then that he knew that the guy under all the silver light armor was the most popular superstar player in Storm City as well as the trump card expert player of the Nine Star Guild, the organizer of the expedition, Sword Ki Long River.

There was no wonder he had a Legendary Grade weapon in his hands.

Feng Luo guessed that not that many players, among the 500 on the military ship, had Legendary Grade gears. Moreover, for those who possessed them, he estimated the number to be less than ten.

For the trump card of the guild’s Sword Ki Long River, a player whose ID had the word “sword” in it, the Nine-Star Guild would spend whatever was necessary to get their hands on a Legendary Grade weapon for him before the expedition.

“This Legendary Grade weapon sure seems unlucky.” Feng Luo looked at “Storm City’s number one master” who had switched to a purple alloy sword.

The alleged Legendary Grade golden alloy sword stuck on the giant Sea Serpent’s head now, along with the sword handle, was fully submerged into its head after a series of banging and collision caused by its reaction to pain. Sword Ki Long River’s sword that may be the only Legendary Grade longsword within Storm City might only be retrieved after they kill the giant Sea Serpent.

“Apart from that... From the words of this Earth Manipulator, it looks like he’s quite close to Sword Ki Long River. He’s probably another one of those superstar players.” Feng Luo thought suddenly.

In the gap between shots, Feng Luo turned around to glance at the Earth Manipulator. He found that the face of the Earth Manipulator was certainly familiar. However, since he did not follow news about these superstar players, he quickly turned around to look at the giant Sea Serpent’s status info through the sniping scope after that one glance.

“Hiss!”

By then, the giant Sea Serpent’s HP had reduced to 35%.

The hundreds of players on the military ship were not there to mess around. The players faced the constraints of the environment, which made it impossible for all of them to join in the attack at once. Additionally, since most wanted to avoid accumulating the aggro, hence, the attention of the giant Sea Serpent, they did not maximize their firepower.

Despite that, they were still top, or at the very least, first-class players with the best skills and equipment available. In terms of dealing with a Level 50 Quasi-Boss grade monster, they would not have to spend too much time on it.

If it weren’t for the giant Sea Serpent’s 1% HP recovery per second, it might have entered the Heavy Injury status or died by then.

“34%... 32%... 29%...”

On the military ship, the giant Sea Serpent was still constantly destroying the ship’s facilities and equipment as well as a few players who were unfortunate enough to accumulate too much aggro.

Just as the giant Sea Serpent swung half its body along with its head into the left side at the end of the ship’s rear while pursuing a Heavy Armor Warrior, Sword Ki Long River, who was waiting on top of the defense cannon, finally moved.

“Whoosh!”

“Devastating Slash!”

As his body descended from the sky, his alloy sword slashed downward. Whether it was his speed or his movement, Sword Ki Long River’s attack was almost the same as his last one.

The only difference was his target. Last time, he chose to target the giant Sea Serpent’s head. This time, the Storm City’s number one master chose to target its tail. The front and the end were very symmetrical.

“Slash!”

“-4334!”

With the momentum he gained from the leap from over ten meters above the ground as well as the attack and destructive power of the skill that had reached the Expert Level, the attack of this slash was in no way inferior to the attack from the Legendary Grade weapon earlier.

The 1.5-meter alloy longsword cut directly into the tail of the giant Sea Serpent which was as thick as a bucket. It perfectly thrust through the flesh and into the hard metal ground of the deck.

At the same time, the giant Sea Serpent’s tail was firmly fixed onto the deck while a Weak Point Damage of over 4,000 popped up above its head.
