Just like that, everyone stood quietly in the bright hall of the tomb, the atmosphere turning silent.
After some time …
"Brother Feng, what should we do now? This Boss is too terrifying. It is impossible for us to kill it," Hei Zi asked as she looked at Xiang Shifeng.
On the other side, Zhao Yueru helplessly said, "Snow, it seems that we won't be able to clear it."
The others also expressed their agreement. Despite knowing that it was impossible, they still tried.
"Are we going to give up just like that?" Gentle Snow's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, her bright eyes shifting towards the Kobold King's body once more. They had reached this point after much difficulty, yet they were going to give up just like that.
[Kobold King Patch Leo] (Lord Rank) Level 6 HP 120,000/120,000
Ignoring its frightening HP, just the three words' Lord Rank 'were enough to make players tremble. This represented that the monster was terrifying in a certain aspect. It was either its speed, strength, or magic. Just by looking at the terrifying aura the Kobold King emitted, its steel-like bulging muscles, and the pitch-black greatsword that was as tall as a person, embedded deep into the ground, one could tell that they were no match for it even before exchanging blows with it.
"Why don't we give it a try first? Ghost Chop, you go test the Boss's capabilities. Everyone else, leave the hall first," Gentle Snow said after giving it some thought.
Gentle Snow still intended to give it a try, seeing if she could find a way to raid the Boss.
"Then, let's leave," Shifeng said.
Gentle Snow's idea was exactly what he was thinking. First, let the MT give it a try, then they could observe. That way, he could use an appropriate reason to explain the method of raiding the Boss.
Following which, the Shield Warrior Ghost Chop activated his video recording, charging towards the Kobold King alone.
At the same time, the thick stone doors in the hall began to close.
Just as Ghost Chop was halfway through his Charge, the Kobold King abruptly opened its eyes. With a kacha, it casually pulled out its pitch-black greatsword, its thick and solid legs abruptly exerting force, charging towards Ghost Chop.
Its speed was like a gale, sweeping towards Ghost Chop.
Ghost Chop was shocked. He quickly reacted, raising his shield and blocking it in front of his chest.
In an instant, a black light with an explosive sound bombarded the shield.
Boom!
Ghost Chop was sent flying, a damage of -633 appearing above his head. His entire arm was numb. If not for his shield, he would've died instantly.
Ghost Chop believed that his technique wasn't bad, and he was also an elite of Ouroboros. It wasn't like he was trying to kill a Boss. If he couldn't even figure out the Boss' true strength, then he would lose all his face.
Following which, he abruptly stood up and gulped down a Basic Recovery Potion, recovering more than half of his HP. Just as he was about to attack the Boss, he suddenly discovered that the Boss was already standing behind him. The Boss raised its greatsword high in the air, and after exerting some force, it abruptly slashed at Ghost Chop.
[Shield Wall]!
Ghost Chop had no chance of dodging the attack. He had no choice but to use his Lifesaving Skill to receive the attack.
[Shield Wall] reduces damage taken by half for 12 seconds.
The pitch-black Runic Greatsword descended once more. Although Ghost Chop had used his shield to block the attack, he still fell to his knees. The stone tiles beneath his feet cracked like a spiderweb, and his HP instantly dropped to a critical level.
Following which, the Kobold King sent a kick towards Ghost Chop's abdomen. Without any suspense, Ghost Chop was imprinted on the wall, his HP instantly returning to zero.
Throughout the entire battle, not even three seconds had passed, and an MT with top-tier equipment had died.
Even before the hall's stone doors were tightly shut, they opened once more.
When everyone saw Ghost Chop imprinted on the wall, they were all dumbfounded.
What was going on?
The doors had just closed, yet they opened again, and the MT was already dead …
"Yue 'er, revive Ghost Chop," Gentle Snow said with a gloomy expression.
The fact that Ghost Chop was killed so quickly proved how powerful this Boss was.
After Ghost Chop revived, he unwillingly sent the recorded video to everyone with a gloomy expression, letting them analyze the Boss's strength.
"So strong!" Zhao Yueru could not help but exclaim, "This speed, this strength, this reaction speed, and this variety of attack patterns, is this really an NPC? It can't be that martial arts expert in disguise, right?! "
Before personally witnessing it, everyone already felt that the Boss was very powerful. Now that they saw it with their own eyes, aside from shock, there was only more shock. With Ghost Chop's technique, he actually couldn't even cause any damage to the Boss. It was simply too frightening.
In front of the Kobold King, even the strongest Chieftain ranked monster she had ever seen was nothing more than a little rabbit.
Meanwhile, Shifeng's party, who had fought against a Lord ranked Boss before, felt their hearts grow heavy after watching the video.
They had to admit that the Lord ranked Boss of a Team Dungeon was much stronger than the Lord ranked Boss of a Party Dungeon. Not only was it a matter of speed and strength, but its attack patterns were even more so. It was as if they were fighting against an expert. Moreover, this expert's physique was several times stronger than theirs. How could they possibly fight against such an expert?
Even if Brother Feng was very powerful, he might not be able to last long. After all, this Boss's HP was as high as 120,000, while their HP did not even reach 1,000.
"Let's retreat," Gentle Snow said after thinking for a while. Gentle Snow pondered for a long time and made various simulations. In the end, all of them would result in a team-wipe. She did not intend to waste any more time, preparing to raid the Normal Mode of the Dark Moon Graveyard. The Boss of the Normal Mode of the Dark Moon Graveyard should be a Chieftain Rank, which was much weaker. With their current equipment, they had at least a twenty to thirty percent chance of killing the Boss.
Hearing Gentle Snow's words, everyone could only give up and take out their Return Scrolls.
At this moment, Shifeng suddenly said in the party chat, "I've seen this Kobold King's attack patterns. If Miss Snow, the two MTs, and I work together to switch battles, we should have some chance. I wonder if Miss Snow is still interested in raiding the Boss?"
Although Shifeng's voice was soft, it was like a light in the darkness, illuminating everyone's hearts.
"Brother Feng, are we really going to fight?" Hei Zi gulped as he looked at the Kobold King. Just this distance was enough to make his legs tremble. If the Kobold King were any closer, he might just kneel.
In fact, it wasn't just Hei Zi who felt this way. The other members of the party also felt uncomfortable after being hit by the Kobold King's aura. They instinctively believed that they could not defeat the Kobold King and wanted to escape.
"You have a way?" Zhao Yueru's eyes flashed with shock as she looked at Xiang Shifeng and asked.
This was the Lord of a Team Dungeon. Its HP was several times higher than that of a Field Lord. Its Attack and attack patterns were clear for all to see. It was so strong that it caused despair. Zhao Yueru did not believe that Shifeng had a way to raid it.
Shifeng shrugged his shoulders. He looked at the Kobold King and said, "I don't have much confidence. However, we can give it a try. Isn't it just a loss of 10% of EXP? We've fought all the way here, and the EXP we've gained is more than 10%. Even if we die, we've still obtained a lot of equipment.
Are you really going to give up? "Gentle Snow was stunned. She did not think that Shifeng could give her so many surprises. Even if they were unable to raid the Boss this time, she would definitely pull Shifeng into Ouroboros.
"How confident are you?" Gentle Snow's iceberg-like expression finally revealed a trace of a warm smile.
"20% confidence." Shifeng had already given his most conservative estimate. In reality, his true estimate was 50%. He was worried that if he said it out loud, it would be too frightening and arouse suspicion.
"What? You said 20%?! "Zhao Yueru rolled her eyes at Shifeng. With such a low success rate, who would dare to attempt it?
"Alright, tell me how you plan to do it. I will fully support you," Gentle Snow said softly, interrupting Zhao Yueru's words.
Gentle Snow estimated that the success rate of killing a Lord ranked Boss was zero. However, she had a 20% to 30% chance of killing a Chieftain ranked Boss. Judging from Shifeng's previous performance, Shifeng was not someone who would exaggerate. With the same 20% chance of success, wouldn't it be better to kill a Lord ranked Boss?
Moreover, she was very interested in the four-person switch that Shifeng mentioned. She wondered what kind of combat method this was to actually have such a high success rate against a Lord ranked Kobold King.
