Chapter 275 Celestial Starfire Key
Eric had just been blasted away and landed on the ground when the Crystal War Wolf, as swift as the wind, positioned itself behind him, its three gaping maws snapping down.
"President!" FlameDancer exclaimed in shock, leaping forward and quickly using a restriction skill on the Crystal War Wolf.
This restriction skill was ineffective against the berserk Crystal War Wolf.
Seeing that his head was about to be bitten off, at the critical moment, Eric crossed his dual swords and used Parry.
The ground beneath Eric's feet shattered instantly.
"That was quite a heavy blow," Eric said with a wry smile.
Although the Parry skill can block one physical attack, it cannot negate the force of the impact.
With no healer in the team, if he took another hit in his weakened state, he would surely be killed instantly.
Based on the force, Eric roughly gauged the strength of the berserk Crystal War Wolf. Its power hadn't increased much, but its speed had improved by at least 30%.
At this point, only equipping the Divine Breath of the Celestial Dragon could make a difference; otherwise, he was destined to be defeated.
Unfortunately, 200 points of agility were easy to achieve, but 120 points of intelligence were not something Eric, as a Swordsman, could easily reach. Moreover, Swordsman plate armor that increased intelligence was extremely rare and mostly useless.
The Crystal War Wolf, having missed its first attack, spun around, its diamond-like tail whipping towards Eric like a lash.
With Parry still on cooldown, Eric had no choice but to activate his life-saving skill, Swordsoar Ascension.
Currently at level 4, Swordsoar Ascension could negate 9 ranged attacks and 4 melee attacks.
He then raised the Abyssal Blade high, blue arcs of electricity crackling around the sword, meeting the Crystal War Wolf's gleaming claws.
Thunderbolt!
Swordsoar Ascension was a skill that provided complete immunity, whether from damage or impact.
This was one of the basic combat techniques of a Swordsman.
First, use Parry to gauge the enemy's strength, then use Swordsoar Ascension for protection. This was why Eric used Parry first, to assess the Crystal War Wolf's strength and make the best judgment.
Eric concluded that the only option was to fight head-on; running would only lead to a quicker death.
The blue arcs of electricity pierced through the Crystal War Wolf's body, dealing -572, -1623, -1204 damage. Although luck was average with only one critical hit, it also triggered the Abyssal Blade's Calamity of Misfortune, immediately reducing the Crystal War Wolf's overall attributes by 20%.
This significantly weakened the Crystal War Wolf, whose agility had increased by 30%.
But it wasn't over yet. Eric activated Phantom Slay, and a clone appeared beside the Crystal War Wolf, also starting to attack.
The clone had only 50% of Eric's attributes but could inherit all learned skills.
The weakened Crystal War Wolf's speed decreased significantly, but Eric still couldn't easily dodge its attacks. Helpless, he activated Gravity Release, making his body as light as a feather, dodging attacks that were previously unavoidable like a nimble monkey.
Wind-chasing Sword!
This further boosted Eric's attack speed.
Double Slash!
Earthshatter Strike!
Earthshatter Strike!
One skill after another landed, each dealing over a thousand damage.
Although the berserk state increased the Crystal War Wolf's speed and attack power, it weakened its defense. Combined with the damage amplification effect of Thunderbolt, which increased damage by 20%, the damage dealt was significantly higher.
With the combined attacks of FlameDancer and Rosewater, the berserk Crystal War Wolf's health kept dropping. The 30 seconds of Gravity Release reduced the Crystal War Wolf's health to 10%.
Seeing that Gravity Release had ended, Eric activated Nine Dragon Cleave, causing the phantoms of the Abyssal Blade to appear behind him and shoot towards the Crystal War Wolf. He then swapped places with his clone, which used Parry and Swordsoar Ascension to withstand the Crystal War Wolf.
Each phantom of the Abyssal Blade had considerable attack power, dealing over 150 damage per hit. With nine phantoms, that was over 1,300 damage per second, sustained for 28 seconds.
The clone, after losing its Parry and Swordsoar Ascension life-saving skills, was instantly killed by a single swipe.
After all, the clone only had 50% of the main body's attributes.
However, it bought Eric a significant amount of time.
The Crystal War Wolf then shifted its gaze to the real Eric, who immediately activated Zephyr Stride and turned to run.
With the Crystal War Wolf's attributes reduced by 20% and Eric's speed increased by 30%, Eric was slightly faster, allowing him to kite the wolf.
Under the attacks of Rosewater and FlameDancer, the Crystal War Wolf's speed continued to decrease.
9%...
8%...
7%...
Until Eric's Zephyr Stride was about to end, the Crystal War Wolf had only 3% of its health left.
"That should be enough."
Eric stopped running, turned to face the Crystal War Wolf, and pointed the Abyssal Blade at it.
Abyssal Bind!
Nine pitch-black chains, like serpents, suddenly emerged from the ground, instantly binding the Crystal War Wolf.
The Crystal War Wolf, which had previously been immune to restriction skills, was now immobilized.
In Divine Realms: Legends, immunity to restriction skills doesn't mean the skills are ineffective; it means immunity to lower-tier restriction skills, such as magic-based Ice Arrow, Ice Sphere, and the Assassin's Kidney Strike, which are all basic skills, or Tier 0 skills, too low to be effective.
As a level 25 Overlord, it could only be immune to restriction skills below Tier 2.
If it were a Tier 2 or Tier 3 restriction skill, the Crystal War Wolf would still be restricted.
Although the tier of Abyssal Bind was unknown, as a Demonic Weapon skill, it was naturally not low. Eric guessed it was at least a Tier 3 skill, meaning it could restrict all current Bosses.
With the Crystal War Wolf immobilized, Eric stepped forward and used Pyroblast Burst, a finishing move that could only be used once every four minutes.
Like twin suns, his dual swords instantly slashed six times at the Crystal War Wolf.
-2238, -4452, -2198, -2212, -4408, -2216.
Six hits, each dealing over two thousand damage, totaling over sixteen thousand damage, instantly killing the Crystal War Wolf with 3% health remaining.
System: Overlevel kill of level 25 Overlord Crystal War Wolf, experience gain increased by 700%, gaining 485,630 experience points.
The experience bars of the three players shot up significantly, with Rosewater even leveling up to 18. However, Eric had just reached level 18 recently, so he remained at level 18. A few more kills of Overlords like the Crystal War Wolf would quickly bring him to level 19.
"Who knew an Overlord could be killed like this," Rosewater said, clearly impressed.
But if it weren't for Eric's ability to continuously lure the Crystal War Wolf and easily dodge many of its skills, they wouldn't have been able to kill it.
"President, let's see what it dropped," FlameDancer said, not surprised. As a fan of Eric, she always believed he could do it. After all, Eric's skill level was what she aspired to, so how could an Overlord stop him?
Eric nodded and began to check the drops.
"No way, this Boss is so stingy, it only dropped one piece of equipment and a key," Rosewater said, clearly displeased upon seeing the drop information Eric shared.
The most annoying part was that the drop was just a level 20 Adamantite plate armor bracer, not even Obsidian Level Equipment.
"Not bad, don't forget this Celestial Starfire Key can open a locked dark gold chest three times, and there's one right in front of us," Eric said with a smile.
Because Rosewater had been following him, her standards had unknowingly risen. If she had seen Adamantite Equipment before, she would have been overjoyed. Now, she didn't even care about anything below Obsidian Level.
"You're right," Rosewater said, her gaze shifting to the nearby chest. She had almost forgotten about the Obsidian Level chest. Opening it would at least yield one piece of Obsidian Level equipment, with a chance of getting Epic Level items.
Epic Level items were something Rosewater didn't even dare to dream of.
