Chapter 61: You Really Can’t Listen to a Single Word! |
Then the familiar parabola arced across the air.
“Damn it!”
At this moment, Aelia was already in a miserable state.
After forcibly tanking three hits, Jiang Chen could guarantee that if even a little fake material had been mixed into that mithril armor she was wearing, she would probably already be dead.
“Vivian, create another opportunity for me!”
“That attack just now already injured it! It shouldn’t be able to hold on much longer.”
“One more time and I’ll definitely kill it!”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen subconsciously looked toward Aelia, who was struggling just to get back up from the ground.
Then he looked toward the Octopus Monster in the distance that was currently being stalled by the other Enforcement Officers.
“One of life’s greatest illusions: I can win.”
“Again? With your damage, even ten more hits probably wouldn’t kill this thing.”
But clearly, Aelia did not believe that.
As she struggled to prop herself up, Aelia was filled with confidence.
“You don’t understand how powerful this move is.”
“This Monster may be very strong, but this time I will definitely kill it!”
As she spoke, Aelia looked toward Vivian with unwavering determination.
“Vivian, trust me!”
Honestly, judging from this NPC’s current performance—
If the damage number that popped out earlier hadn’t been over 4300, Jiang Chen really would have believed her.
Considering this NPC had appeared many times already, Jiang Chen suspected she was probably an important NPC, so after thinking it over repeatedly, he ultimately did not abandon her.
“I think you could try facing reality instead.”
“Facing reality?” Aelia froze for a moment, then seemed to realize something. “Vivian, you don’t believe me?”
“Yeah!” the latter answered very decisively.
Hearing this, Aelia subconsciously looked toward the genius young girl before her.
Then she suddenly closed her eyes.
Jiang Chen: ???
What was going on?
Aelia’s sudden change left Jiang Chen stunned as well.
Just as Jiang Chen was still confused, she suddenly opened her eyes, and her aura had clearly changed.
“Vivian, you’re right. This attack will definitely kill it!”
“Huh? When did I ever say that?” the latter asked in confusion.
“Um, what I said was face reality and stop going up there.”
“Yes, it will be defeated by me. That is reality!”
“When did I say that?! Damn it! I meant for you to stop charging in!”
“You think so too, right? I can easily defeat it. After all, I’m Aelia Cecilia!”
“The youngest genius of the Cecilia Family!”
At this point, how could Jiang Chen still not understand what was happening?
“Um, Aelia, I feel like whether you can beat it or not, you should already know in your heart. It’s fine if you lie to me, but don’t lie to yourself too.”
“You mean that this attack, carrying the honor of my family, will definitely defeat it!” As her voice fell, red flames instantly engulfed Aelia’s entire body.
“Thank you for your affirmation, Vivian!”
“Affirmation my ass! We’re completely not on the same wavelength here!” Jiang Chen looked speechlessly at Aelia as she charged forward again.
Immediately afterward...
“Betting the honor of my family upon this—Flame Explosion!”
-3156
“So the honor of your family only does this much damage...”
Watching Aelia get blasted away once again, Jiang Chen was utterly speechless.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, it wasn’t just Aelia. Several other Enforcement Officers had also been severely injured.
“Boss, we can’t hold on anymore!”
“No good, Boss! Let’s split up and run! This isn’t something we can defeat right now at all!”
Hearing the voices coming from afar, then looking at Aelia lying on the ground with no clue whether she was dead or alive, Jiang Chen was speechless.
“Um... your boss might be a little dead.”
“How about one of you comes over first and drags her away?”
Jiang Chen asked tentatively.
“Understood, Boss! You’ll retreat on your own while we go get reinforcements first. Got it, no problem!”
As soon as the words fell, the group of Enforcement Officers who had still been desperately holding the line immediately scattered and fled in all directions.
“No, wait...”
Watching the group of Enforcement Officers run away at lightning speed, Jiang Chen no longer even knew how many times he had been rendered speechless today.
“So this really is an inherited tradition.”
Looking toward the rear, Jiang Chen quickly spotted Lilith peeking around in the distance.
“You, come over here and drag this one away!”
Although Lilith was extremely terrified, she still hurriedly ran over.
“At least this NPC is normal.”
After grumbling internally, Jiang Chen also felt rather helpless.
This BOSS was very difficult to deal with.
Aside from its various skills, the biggest issue was that although the BOSS had an enormous body, its agility was not low at all.
Running away was basically unrealistic.
And the most outrageous thing was that Jiang Chen discovered the BOSS’s aggro had remained locked onto him the entire time.
It was precisely because of this that the other Enforcement Officers had not been completely wiped out during the brief clash earlier.
Although this aggro mechanic was somewhat ridiculous...
Since that was the case, then fight it!
【Equipment equipped: Swiftstep Shoes!】
【Equipment equipped: Deep Sea Ring】
Jiang Chen no longer cared about hiding his combat power.
This was not the Eternal Tower. Death here was real.
He could not afford to play recklessly.
After equipping the gear, Jiang Chen roughly checked his current stats.
【Vivian Violet】
【Magic Ring: Two-Ring】
【Class: Peace Princess】
【Health: 430, Mana: 750, Defense: 34, Strength: 35, Agility: 54, Intelligence: 110, Perception: 34】
【Skills: C4 Shaping (Merged Skill: Corrosion Curse) LV1 - Weapon Blessing LV1 - Candy Bear LV1】
【Divine Blessings: Goddess Blessing (Knowledge) - Gold Blessing LV1 - Montage Technique (LV1)】
【Equipment: Misty Moon Dream (Rare) - Source of Magic (Exquisite) - Grand Mage Casas’ Bracelet (Legendary) - Deep Sea Ring (Rare) - Swiftstep Shoes (Rare)】
【Total Combat Power: 7340】
Agility had skyrocketed from 24 to 54, while Strength had also increased from 25 to 35.
The two pieces of equipment had increased combat power by around 1040 points. Among them, the Deep Sea Ring alone added 800 points, while the practical combat equipment, Swiftstep Shoes, only added 240.
The disparity between inflated combat power and actual combat effectiveness made Jiang Chen’s scalp go numb.
If it weren’t for wanting to climb the Leaderboard, honestly, Jiang Chen would not want to wear long-entry equipment at all.
Looking at his current combat power, Jiang Chen could not help sighing.
“So now I’m already a full-on inflated-stat whale.”
“But forget it, an inflated-stat whale is still an inflated-stat whale. As long as it works.”
Vivian: ???
What did he mean by “as long as it works”? What did he mean by “inflated-stat whale”?
Vivian’s little face had already turned into a red apple.
At this moment, she was practically going crazy.
So... Lord Evil God, what exactly were you saying with those outrageous words?!
And this was during battle!
Recalling how Lord Evil God had tried to peek under her skirt while controlling her body at the beginning, then looking at the current situation—
Vivian had already branded Lord Evil God as a pervert in her mind.
Too hateful!
But before Vivian could think any further, Lord Evil God’s voice rang out once more.
“Now then, Round Two begins!”
