Chapter 179 The God of the Undead is Nothing Special
Alan didn't want to chat with the old servant in green.
He was just trying to provoke him.
If the old servant used his undying body to escape, it would be a hassle.
It'd be a waste not to use such a valuable monster to rack up life points.
Plus, with the power from the God of the Undead, killing the old servant would guarantee a special loot.
Alan didn't want to miss out on such a golden opportunity.
So, he had to rile him up a bit.
Sure enough, the old servant in green got pissed and charged at Alan, looking furious.
The old servant yelled, "Undead Roar!"
A range attack hit both Alan and James.
[-108598!]
[-69850!]
Seeing the damage numbers, Alan felt a bit numb.
He took over forty thousand more damage than James, which was a lot.
This was the difference in their resistances.
Warriors usually learned damage reduction skills.
But most of those skills were pretty weak.
The really strong ones could cut damage by eighty percent.
Alan knew this because a guy in his past life had a damage-reduction skill.
His talent, Double Increase and Decrease, boosted damage while cutting the damage he received.
Alan didn't know the details of how it upgraded, but once maxed out, it reduced the damage by eighty percent and increased the damage by eighty percent.
It was scary.
He should've taken one hundred thousand damage, but only took twenty thousand.
He should've dealt one hundred thousand damage, but could deal one hundred eighty thousand. Brutal.
Alan calculated, 'Plus, my damage reduction is special, not tied to resistances, so it can even cut true damage, crits, burns, and other types.'
These thoughts flashed through Alan's mind without slowing him down.
Alan attacked, his arrows flying through the air.
This damage wasn't enough to kill him.
Zoe commanded, "Death's Fate: Shattered Soul!"
While Alan fought the old servant, Zoe attacked from the side.
James countered, "Guardian's Shield!"
James reacted fast, appearing next to Alan instantly.
A huge shield phantom appeared, trying to block Zoe's attack.
Zoe sneered, "A mere Guardian's Shield can't stop my attack."
Zoe's attack hit the Guardian's Shield.
Next moment, she was stunned.
She saw only a few cracks on James's huge energy shield, and that was it!
"Impressive. I once faced a level fifty silver BOSS, and it couldn't scratch my Guardian's Shield," James complimented and was also surprised.
But Zoe was even more shocked. She complained, "Impossible! After such a strong hit, your shield only has a few cracks."
Zoe couldn't believe it, but she quickly reacted. Blocked by James, she unleashed a new skill.
Zoe countered, "Three Souls: Overlapping Rift!!"
Zoe's new skill had just been unleashed when James's Guardian's Shield shattered.
James took over eighty thousand damage too.
"Terrifying," he gasped, but still stood in front of Alan.
"No matter how high your defense is, it's not enough against a divine messenger," Zoe sneered, raising her hand as her shield flew towards James.
Alan's eyes narrowed in disbelief. This attack was different.
But James wasn't scared. He quickly switched to a beginner's shield, colliding with Zoe's flying shield.
This time, James lost over a hundred thousand health points.
Not only that, the impact from Zoe's shield knocked James away.
While James was still in mid-air, the old servant in green's bone sword was already aiming for Alan.
Their goal was clear; kill Alan.
But they underestimated him.
Alan switched to the God-Slaying Whip, clashing with the old servant's bone sword.
With a light sound, cracks appeared on the bone sword, making the old servant's expression even more sinister.
Zoe yelled, "Undead Curse!"
Although Alan forced the old servant back, Zoe's new skill had already hit him.
[-19659!]
[-19659!]
Alan started losing health continuously from the curse.
It was somewhat like the Book of Life and Death, but not quite.
"If you want to play the health drain game, let's play," Alan said, retreating and pulling out the Book of Life and Death, ready to write Zoe's name.
Zoe shouted, "Now!"
Zoe and the old servant in green seemed prepared.
As soon as Alan took out the book, gray-white chains flew from their hands.
"Soul Chains!" they shouted.
Two soul chains wrapped around the Book of Life and Death in Alan's hand.
Alan squinted, a faint smile on his face.
"Ice King, this is the item you used to make me lose health. Now, it's mine," Zoe claimed as she grinned, excited about stealing Alan's powerful item.
They both exerted their strength, trying to snatch the book from Alan.
As soon as they did, cracks appeared on the chains.
Finally, the chains shattered with a bang.
They both wondered, "How is this possible?"
Zoe and the old servant in green were in disbelief.
Zoe remarked, "These soul chains are special equipment from the great God of the Undead. They can't just break like this."
Alan smiled nonchalantly, thinking, 'Is the special equipment of the God of the Undead impressive? Trash!'
His Book of Life and Death was divine equipment, far surpassing any ordinary special gear.
Plus, it was bestowed by Gaia. What was the God of the Undead compared to Gaia?
Although the God of the Undead was a deity, the gap between him and Gaia was enormous.
A faint smile appeared on Alan's face. He mocked, "If this is all you've got, then the battle can end now."
With that, Alan charged forward with the God-Slaying Whip.
Not far away, a shadow rushed over. It was the resurrected Robert. He said, "Alan, I'll support you. Let's take these two down!"
