MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 65: Dark Rune

Translator: 549690339

The War God had overestimated his own power, too confident, and miscalculated the power of the Fire Eagle. After all, the Fire Eagle was a boss. Although the Thunder God was given some elite bonuses while undertaking his elite quest.

But in the end, he was not yet an elite. Even if he became one, there would still be a considerable gap between his power and that of the Fire Eagle.

The Fire Eagle was pushed back several yards by the War God, but the War God’s own charge had come to an abrupt halt. Despite the immense force and momentum bestowed upon him by his charge skill, his body was still stumbling backward, and his shield was sent flying.

-125

Even though his shield blocked the Fire Eagle’s skill, despite the damage reduction of the shield, he still suffered high damage, resulting in the loss of a quarter of his total health.

“You’re getting ahead of yourself.”

At the same time, Li Yao let the arrows from the Arrow Tower and his handheld heavy crossbow loose.

The War God’s eyes blazed with an unquenchable fire, yet upon seeing the four Arrow Shafts shot at him, he dodged by flashing sideways by ten yards, ending up on the other side of Li Yao, while the distance between the two was only less than three yards.

“You’re done for this time, Thunder Strike.’

The War God stomped on the ground, and with a loud blast, the ground beneath his feet started to crack, creating a mesh of crevices.

But above Li Yao’s head shone a blinding light, his expression calm.

The War God’s Thunder Strike was different from an ordinary warrior’s. It had a paralysis effect due to the lightning. If Li Yao were to be hit by the lightning, he would be paralyzed for at least one second.

The War God wasn’t as formidable as in the previous world, but his consciousness was already exceptionally robust. A one-second paralysis could be enough to decide the victor and the loser between the two.

The Thunder Fighters could cause severe damage even though they were defense-oriented. Many early-stage players were not yet equipped with elite attribute bonuses, thus being damaged by a Thunder Fighter might take Li Yao down in seconds.

Therefore, even though Li Yao seemed casual at the initiation of the challenge, during the fight, he was anything but.

Zi la la…

A fiery figure flew above Li Yao’s head, the Thunder Strike crackling and hitting the Fire Eagle.

To be able to deal such explosive damage against a boss demonstrates the formidable offensive power of the War God. For all we know, he is a defense-focused class. At this stage, a regular warrior — let alone a defense-oriented warrior — even swinging a two-handed heavy weapon or wielding dual weapons, could hardly achieve such explosive damage. An average of thirty to forty points of damage is already considered extraordinary.

The reason why Li Yao could inflict such high damage was due to his robust equipment, weapon, and the additional effects granted by the Little artifact and the Creator armor set.

The electric shock could paralyze living beings by attacking their nerves, but it could only inflict damage on mechanical creatures, without invoking the paralysis effect.

The Fire Eagle suddenly sprayed a rolling Fire Breath, engulfing the not-yet-reacted Thunder God in flames.

Li Yao put away his heavy crossbow and turned to leave, as if the War God was already a dead man, no longer needing his attention.

-89-88

“You will pay for your arrogance.”

Seeing Li Yao turning his back before he had actually fallen, the War God was furious. His shield started shining a blinding white.

Heroic Shield Strike!

The War God’s body suddenly slid forward by three yards, as his shield reached out towards the back of Li Yao’s head amidst the flames.

Yet Li Yao turned around in an instant, his left hand already at his waist, holding a handgun radiating light.

Arcane Shot!

With the sound of a gunshot, the shield less than five centimeters away from Li Yao’s face stopped abruptly, followed by the War God kneeling painfully on one knee.

“You’re still too young, go home and practice more.”

Having said that, he turned around once again, no longer preoccupied with this duel, and began to think about how to get a Minotaur.

Li Yao had stopped his attack, but the arrow tower continued to rain down

Arrow Shafts on the immobilized War God, who was kneeling on the ground. -75-76-78-75-76…

The War God knelt on the ground for as long as three seconds, this was enough time for the Arrow Tower to fire three rounds, but by the second round, the War God’s health was already down to a sliver.

It was not that the Arrow Tower’s damage was insufficient, but rather that a friendly duel or challenge cannot kill the opponent, as it would forcibly leave them with a drop of health.

With the rise of a war flag, a Rune Stone flew into Li Yao’s bag.

“You’re strong, whether it’s awareness, calculation or career equipment, I’m inferior to you at all.”

War God sat directly on the ground while eating and drinking to restore health, all the while addressing Li Yao’s retreating figure.

Li Yao didn’t look back, just waved his hand and said, “It’s not that I’m too strong, it’s that you’re too weak, practice more.”

“I’ll challenge you again.” War God sent a friend request.

“Challenging me comes at a cost. Without a Skill Rune, you better not find me.” After Li Yao finished speaking, he quickly left.

“Prairie Fire, huh? I’ll remember you.”

The War God slightly furrowed his brows as he seemed to have heard this name somewhere before. But he soon shook his head dismissively. He just needed to know that Prairie Fire was strong, and he would eventually defeat him, that was enough.

Atop the Dragon Eagle, Li Yao toyed with the Skill Rune in his hand while keeping an eye on the monsters below.

Rune Stone

Type: Skill Enhancement

Property: Darkness

Effect: Enhance a ranged skill, can receive darkness energy and effects.

Seeing that this was a darkness rune stone, Li Yao understood. The War God, who went down the Thunder path, could neither use this skill rune nor have a use for it. No wonder he was willing to use it as a wager.

However, the task that he was about to undertake was that of a Dark Ranger, and this kind of Rune Stone was what he needed most.

Li Yao’s current skills certainly needed to be strengthened, but compared to the skills he would gain from becoming a Dark Ranger, they were lacking a bit. Li Yao’s plan was to keep it for now and decide how to allocate it later.

Suddenly, Li Yao’s eyes lit up as he saw a unique monster among the ones below.

This monster looked like a stone statue, only it had a bovine head resembling a minotaur.

Li Yao gave a whistle, and the Fire Eagle, who had been casually hovering around the Dragon Eagle, suddenly dived down like a bolt of lightning.

As it approached the ground, the Fire Eagle flapped its wings and a flurry of flaming feathers enveloped several monsters, including the stone bovine one.

Li Yao also leaped off, his crossbow firing towards the sky.

An onslaught of arrows rained down upon the several monsters.

The same moment Li Yao landed, he performed two consecutive Shadow Rolls to disperse momentum, before setting up three Arrow Towers around him.

The Arrow Towers started unleashing a constant barrage of attacks. Aside from the Stone Bovine, the other monsters were only ordinary monsters of level five, with very low health. Two rounds of area attacks killed these small monsters instantly. Stone Bovine

Rank: Silver Hero level 7

Health: 2000

Armor: 85

Skills: Savage Roar, Earth Stomp, Death Horn Ram

To other players, this would be an insanely tough monster, but for Li Yao, it was nothing. Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could take down this Silver Hero, the cow level would be set.

“Friend, we were the first ones to discover this Silver Hero. We’ve been tailing it to this place. You have stolen our Silver Hero.”

From a distance, a group of players were shouting at Li Yao.
