Chapter 69 Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle
After sending James off, Alan continued grinding monsters.
He had already defeated the Bloodback Tortoise twelve times, and with just six more, the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle would appear.
Given Alan's current output capability, the most time-consuming part of summoning the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle was waiting for the Bloodback Tortoise to respawn.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.
[Due to your extensive killing of Blood-Eyed Tortoises, the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle in Blackwater Lake has awakened. Please evacuate immediately.]
Evacuate? That was impossible. His goal this time was to hunt the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle.
Ahead, the waters of Blackwater Lake rippled, and a turtle shell the size of a basketball court emerged from the water.
[Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle (Bronze): Level 45.]
[HP: 6,850,000/6,850,000.]
[Attack Power: 17,590.]
[Skills: Rapid Water Cannon, Healing Body, Dragon's Roar Tsunami, Nine Pillar Impact, Blackwater Whirlpool, Bloodthirsty Dragon Armor, Water Arrow Array, Blood-Eyed Poison Mist, Super Armor, Rage.]
Alan raised an eyebrow in surprise. Nearly seven million HP, over seventeen thousand attack power, and not to mention its unlisted magic power.
The Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle was a magical creature, and its magic power was undoubtedly higher than its attack power.
However, Alan was not afraid. Even without equipping the Tear of the Goddess of Life, his HP already exceeded 530,000.
He had a good chance if he played it smart.
He released an arrow.
[-16,369.]
A massive damage number appeared above the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle's head. At the same time, two conspicuous healing prompts appeared.
[+5,258.]
[+3,000.]
The lifesteal from the Bloodthirsty Dragon Armor and the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle's innate healing ability kicked in.
Alan felt a chill down his spine. He knew the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle had strong healing abilities, but he hadn't expected it to be this extreme.
For an average level 45 player, their damage might not even outpace the turtle's healing.
Of course, this was without considering anti-healing effects.
Generally, anti-healing weapons or skills start appearing around level 30.
With anti-healing suppression, the boss's healing would be significantly impacted.
This gave Alan an interesting idea. Should he consider getting some anti-healing gear to take down world bosses from a distance?
World bosses had terrifying self-healing abilities. The damage from the Code of Life and Death was less than their passive healing, making it nearly ineffective.
But what if there was a high anti-healing effect?
Of course, this was just a thought. Anti-healing was a special attribute that became harder to stack as the game progressed.
Before the second job change, achieving 30-40% was already impressive.
However, that amount of anti-healing wouldn't help Alan much.
As he pondered, the battle continued without pause.
Alan's arrows kept flying, and he didn't recklessly approach Blackwater Lake. Instead, he used the attack range boost from his normal attacks to maintain distance.
The Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle roared, causing the waters of Blackwater Lake to churn and send waves several meters high crashing toward Alan.
This was an area-of-effect skill.
Alan was fast, but avoiding such a large-scale water attack was unrealistic.
[-19,859.]
A massive damage number appeared above Alan's head as he was sent flying by the waves.
Such a wide-range skill with such high damage was truly a headache.
After a brief knockback, Alan landed on the ground. But as soon as he touched down, he noticed a ring of water forming beneath his feet.
"Not good," Alan muttered as he leaped away.
A water column shot up from the ground where he had just been standing. If he had been a bit slower, he would have been blasted into the air.
Just as he landed again, another water column erupted beneath him. Alan leaned back and flipped, narrowly avoiding the second column.
Supporting himself with one hand on the ground, still in a handstand position, Alan saw another water ring forming below him. A massive water column struck him, sending him flying and depleting a significant portion of his health.
[-18,850.]
Another damage number close to twenty thousand appeared. While Alan was still airborne, the fourth water column surged up.
From the the skill's name, it was clear that the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle's water column attack likely had nine strikes.
Alan twisted his body 360 degrees in mid-air, narrowly dodging the fourth water column. Upon landing, he immediately retreated.
With his fast movement speed and preemptive dodging, the remaining water columns posed no threat to him. Alan even managed to fire arrows at the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle during the dodging intervals.
Arrows flew continuously, and while Alan dealt significant damage, the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle's healing was also substantial.
The area around Blackwater Lake was its territory, and its skill range was matched Alan's enhanced attack range.
After enduring the water column attacks, Alan launched a relentless assault, aiming to inflict as much damage as possible.
[-16,398.]
[-16,407.]
Alan's damage was impressive. The Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle's healing was good, but its passive healing was calculated per second, while Alan's attack speed was over five attacks per second.
He could deal over eighty thousand damage per second, making the turtle's passive healing negligible. The main healing came from the Bloodthirsty Dragon Armor, but even that was insufficient against Alan's high damage output.
The Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle, possessing some intelligence, realized this combat method was ineffective. To Alan's surprise, the turtle retracted its limbs and head into its shell.
In the next instant, the turtle shell floating on Blackwater Lake turned into a streak of light, rushing towards Alan in the blink of an eye.
Alan only had time to roll sideways, but the turtle shell was as large as a basketball court. The sudden impact partially hit him, sending him flying.
[-19,999.]
Alan's health bar dropped significantly. Upon landing, he resumed his attacks.
The Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle's attack range was large, but its output wasn't as high as Alan had expected.
Then Alan understood why the turtle had charged at him. It stopped and immediately slapped Alan on the head.
[-34,980.]
Critical hit!
Alan felt his head buzzing from the hit, but he didn't pause. He immediately retreated, continuously firing arrows. He needed to create distance; close combat was highly disadvantageous for him.
However, despite the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle's seemingly slow movement, its massive size allowed it to cover the distance of Alan's ten steps with just one of its own.
As a result, Alan couldn't create any distance.
"If you want close combat, then I'll play along." Alan sneered, abandoning his attempt to retreat.
Instead, he charged toward the side of the Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle, using its massive body to block its line of sight.
