Shifeng frowned when he saw the NPC Alchemist approaching him.
The NPC Alchemist didn't seem to be moving very quickly. It didn't seem like the Alchemist had noticed his actions. However, since the Alchemist was heading his way, it was still a problem.
Although the Alchemist before him wasn't as frightening as Raymond, the Alchemist's strength was still frightening.
[Berenwoka] (Human, Great Mage) Level 70 HP 7,450,000/7,450,000
NPCs might not have as much HP as Demons and monsters of the same level, but when it came to combat techniques and the number of Skills NPCs had, they were far superior to Demons and monsters. Many expert players might be able to defeat Tier 3 monsters, but against Tier 3 NPCs, they'd be trampled. NPCs were the enemies that players hated the most.
Although the Research Room was spacious, there was nowhere for Shi Feng to hide. Moreover, there was only one path leading to the Research Room.
With no other choice, Shifeng had no choice but to retreat from the Research Room and hide in the Alchemy Room on the other side.
However, as soon as Shifeng exited the Research Room, he discovered that the corridor leading to the Alchemy Room had been sealed off by a magic barrier. He couldn't enter the corridor at all. He also had a clear view of the Alchemy Room.
Should I leave this place first? Shifeng could not help but look at the corridor leading to the outside world. However, he quickly shook his head.
He had visited the Alchemy Room before, and the corridor leading to the Research Room had been sealed off. If he left the Research Room now, the corridor leading to the Research Room would most likely be sealed off as well. At that time, he wouldn't have an opportunity to enter the Research Room again.
Setting aside the fact that the Research Room contained plenty of Shenjing's precious alchemy tools and information, just the Seven Luminaries Source Stone in Raymond's possession made it impossible for him to leave. Otherwise, how was he supposed to deal with the Demon King?
It seems I have no choice but to give it a try. Shifeng turned to look at the Research Room's entrance.
Either way, he would die in this situation. His only hope was to defeat the NPC Alchemist. Otherwise, he would fail his quest.
Following which, Shifeng summoned Anna and Kate.
Previously, due to the teleportation array, Anna and Kite were still in the herb garden. They hadn't teleported over together, so he needed to summon them again.
Both Anna and Kite were Tier 2 players. Although they weren't as high-tiered as the NPC Alchemist, in terms of combat power, they wouldn't lose to a Tier 3 NPC. The reason Shi Feng hadn't wanted to fight the NPC Alchemist was that he was afraid of attracting Raymond's attention. If that happened, only death would await him. However, now that he had nowhere to run, there was no need to hold back.
"Huh? Can't summon them?" Shifeng looked at the two Summon Guard Scrolls in his hands in surprise. His heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, the doors to the Research Room opened. The NPC Alchemist stepped out of the Research Room and immediately discovered the existence of the Shifeng in the corridor that was less than 40 yards away.
"Damned intruders! How dare you come to this sacred place! Guards!" Berenwoka roared.
Berenwoka's voice was very loud, echoing throughout the hall.
"Damn it!"
Shifeng hadn't thought that Berenwoka wouldn't even give him a chance to fight the NPC Alchemist one-on-one. The NPC Alchemist had caught him off guard when his summons weren't working inside the Demon Sealing Tower. Now, the NPC Alchemist had summoned the guards.
Fortunately, the Research Room had a magic array isolating it from the outside world.
Shi Feng's reaction was also very fast.
Immediately, he activated the Aura of Time's Absolute Time. All enemies within the Aura of Time's range couldn't use any Skills, Spells, or tools.
Heavenly Dragon's Power!
Blade Liberation!
Instant Strike!
Shifeng didn't dare to be careless against a Tier 3 NPC. Moreover, Berenwoka had already summoned the guards. If he couldn't end this battle quickly, only death would await him. Hence, he activated Twofold Berserk, his Basic Attributes skyrocketing. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Berenwoka.
Sword's Orbit!
In the next moment, a dazzling starlight bloomed around Shifeng. It was as if a galaxy of stars had surrounded Shifeng.
Shifeng also felt that his Sword's Orbit was unprecedentedly perfect.
After eating five Moonlight Fruits in a row, his physique had permanently increased by 10%. Now, his physique rivaled that of a Tier 2 player. His control and flexibility over his body had also improved by leaps and bounds.
The dazzling starlight devoured Berenwoka. However, Berenwoka wasn't an ordinary NPC. He was a Tier 3 Great Mage. Even though Berenwoka had been Silenced, his Level 70 Basic Attributes were still incomparably high. Berenwoka brandished his staff to block the attack.
In God's Domain, although magical classes used Spells to attack their enemies, that didn't mean that they couldn't engage in melee combat. They simply weren't proficient in melee combat. Hence, after Berenwoka had been Silenced, his combat power had been greatly weakened. However, every profession had its own specialization. In God's Domain, a powerful mage was akin to a strategic missile. In a war involving tens of thousands of players, a powerful mage's effectiveness was far superior to a melee class's.
Meanwhile, Berenwoka's staff had blocked Shifeng's attack with exquisite precision. It was obvious that he had used some kind of Advanced Combat Technique. The sword light, which players couldn't see clearly or see through, was nothing to Berenwoka. Berenwoka's staff had accurately blocked Shifeng's attack.
"What a brilliant defensive skill!"
Shifeng was shocked. He hadn't thought that Berenwoka had already grasped a combat technique.
However, at the end of the day, Berenwoka had only used a Tier 2 Taboo Skill. Moreover, his Sword's Orbit had been perfected.
Despite using an Advanced Combat Technique to block Berenwoka's attacks, he couldn't keep up with Shifeng's lightning-fast attacks. If an ordinary expert were in Berenwoka's place, he wouldn't even be able to harm the Swordsman.
In the blink of an eye, three of Berenwoka's six attacks had landed. Including the Defense of his cloth armor, three massive damages appeared above Berenwoka's head.
-91618！
-184983！
-93189！
In the blink of an eye, Berenwoka's HP decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Guards! Guards! " Anxiety flashed across Berenwoka's wrinkled face as he hurriedly shouted. He even tried to retreat to the Research Room to seek help.
"Don't think you can get into the Research Room that easily!"
Shifeng's Abyssal Blade and Killing Ray collided with Berenwoka, sending the Swordsman flying over a dozen yards away from the Research Room's entrance.
Berenwoka had learned his lesson. He immediately turned to ask for help, but Shifeng didn't give him the chance to do so. Instead, he pointed the Abyssal Blade at Berenwoka.
Abyssal Bind!
Suddenly, nine pitch-black chains appeared around Berenwoka, immobilizing him. He had no choice but to let Shi Feng attack him.
Phantom Kill!
Nine Dragons Slash!
Berenwoka couldn't resist for three whole seconds. As a result, Berenwoka's HP decreased, bit by bit.
95% … 90% … 80% …
Despite such frightening damage output, Shifeng didn't feel the pressure on him decrease in the slightest.
As long as a Tier 3 Great Mage's Silence was lifted, he'd have plenty of opportunities to call for help and save himself. Hence, Shi Feng needed to kill Berenwoka while he was Silenced. Meanwhile, Absolute Time might be effective against players of the same tier, but Berenwoka was a Tier 3 player. Any Skill used on him would be weakened to a certain extent.
Although Absolute Time could Silence Berenwoka for 30 seconds, according to Shifeng's estimates, it'd be a miracle if Absolute Time only lasted for half that time. Meanwhile, killing Berenwoka within ten seconds was a test of his explosive power.
If he won, he'd live. If he lost, he'd die!
When Abyssal Bind and Instant Strike's effects ended, a cold sneer appeared on Berenwoka's face.
"Despicable intruder! Just you wait! You'll become Lord Raymond's test subject!" Berenwoka shouted as he blocked Shifeng's swords. Simultaneously, he began to retreat. "Guards! Hurry up and save me! "
He was less than 20 yards away from the corridor's exit.
Previously, Instant Strike had increased his Attack Speed by 500% and damage by 400%, allowing him to deal such frightening damage. Now that Instant Strike's effects were gone, he naturally had a much easier time dealing with Berenwoka. Even against Shifeng and his doppelgangers, he could block at least half of their attacks.
Seeing that Berenwoka only had 43% of his HP remaining and was about to leave the corridor, Shifeng no longer held back.
Abyssal Curse!
Suddenly, Berenwoka felt as if he had fallen into a swamp. He couldn't move or attack at all.
Dragon Breath!
Divine Providence!
