Chapter 82 INFERNAL CHASM (II)
LUO JIN moved his little body slightly to the left, avoiding the attack of the monster with a pumpkin head. He pointed his two guns at the monster and used one of his more basic skills. [Dual Quick Shot] – it's a skill that allowed him to fire two consecutive shots with each of his guns at a very high speed and with an additional 5% increase in power. The monster was hit and it slowly disintegrated.
He glanced around to search for his brother. He was standing at one corner, only attacking and dodging if he needed to. He then looked at the other three people in their party. In contrast to Luo Yan, the three were fighting like their lives were depending on it.
It had been like this since the second peak. And now they're on their second to the last peak. His brother looked like he was walking leisurely on a park during a very good weather. While the other three appeared like they were trekking on a steep mountain during a heavy storm. Luo Jin couldn't think of a more apt analogy.
He shook his head. Now, he kind of feel bad for these guys. Especially after what he and Luo Yan were about to do later. But he still decided to also just stepped back and go to his own corner.
When all the monsters were defeated, Essaint casted a group heal skill – reviving all their lost HP.
"Essaint, you shouldn't waste your MP on those two. They didn't even fight properly. I bet their HP still remained the same without even you healing them," Bronzed Leaf complained.
"That's unfair. I killed two monsters and Jin killed about four," Luo Yan said, defending himself and Luo Jin.
"And you're really proud about that?" Bronzed Leaf said, full of sarcasm.
"Of course, I am," he replied without even a hint of embarrassment.
Bronzed Leaf gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. His patience was seriously at its limit. Just a bit more and he'd definitely slug this little white face.
"Okay. There's only the boss dungeon left. And then we'll be out of here," Essaint said, looking particularly at Bronzed Leaf. As if silently telling him to just bear with it a bit more and everything would be over. They just had to put up with these two clowns for just a little bit.
Bronzed Leaf took a deep breath and then looked elsewhere. If they didn't ungently need one of the rewards from this dungeon raid, there's no way he would put up with these two. But they're already here. Repeating this again with other two gullible strangers would just be a waste of time. But just like what Essaint said, after the boss dungeon, it would all be over.
They started walking towards the last peak. Unlike the other peaks, the last one had a wall of flame surrounding it. Apricot was still at the front, followed by Essaint, then Luo Jin and Luo Yan, Bronzed Leaf was still at the rear.
"Apricot will make an opening on the wall of flame. Once she did, we all need to dash forward as fast as possible."
Just like Essaint said, when Apricot was finally closed to the wall of flame, she casted a water spell and that made an opening big enough for an a.d.u.l.t human to pass through. She immediately ran towards it. The same went for Essaint. Luo Yan then carried Luo Jin and dashed forwards as well.
Before Luo Jin could even complain and tell his brother to put him down, Luo Yan already did.
But before he did, he whispered into Luo Jin's ear. "Let's help them with this one. So we could log out before dinner comes. But only until the dungeon boss' HP reached 1%."
"I got it. But how would I know it there's only 1% left in its HP?" Luo Jin asked, also whispering back.
"It would be surrounded by a red glow."
Then from above, a wraith-like monster flew down. It was wearing a dark robe and a mask with an eye drawn on it. It was also holding a bone skull staff. Immediately, it made a group attack, releasing a very powerful fire spell. Before it could hit them, Essaint quickly put up a shield. The fact that it held up meant that his level was higher than the required level for this dungeon. The other two must be the same.
When Essaint put down the shield, Apricot immediately attacked using a powerful spell. It was followed by Bronzed Leaf making a big slash downward, producing a wave that hit the dungeon boss square on its stomach. Luo Jin also fired shots.
Luo Yan didn't move nor did he attack. He was waiting. Waiting for the right timing.
After two more rounds of attack and defense, the boss dungeon suddenly raised its staff and a circular symbol appeared on top. Then a rain of fire came down on them. Essaint managed to put up another shield but not before some of the rain hit them. When the onslaught of fire rain was over, Essaint did another healing spell. Then Apricot hit the dungeon boss with some kind of ice spell, momentarily freezing it into place.
When that happened, Luo Yan immediately moved and used [Strike Kill]. He moved at a very fast speed and managed to land that hit. He quickly jumped back to avoid being hit back just in case.
The three seemed to be very surprised by what he just did. They were so distracted that they didn't even noticed the red glow that surrounded the dungeon boss.
Luo Jin who noticed this, maybe because he had been waiting for it to happen, immediately put on the Invisibility Cloak his brother lent him. Seeing this, Luo Yan turned to the three and gave them the sweetest smile he could possibly give.
"Bye bye!~"
And then he dived into the shadows.
Before the three could understand what was happening, the boss dungeon already used one of its life-draining skill on Essaint and then right after, it used the next one on Bronzed Leaf.
"Son of a—"
Bronzed Leaf didn't manage to finish cursing because his game avatar already died. The same as Essaint's.
Apricot was so confused that she didn't manage to dodge the next attack of the dungeon boss. Its attack doubled that's why it caused a lot more damage than it should. When she finally managed to slightly get over what happened, it was already too late. Because a big ball of fire already hit her. And the only thing she could think of while her game avatar was disintegrating was that; they'd been had.
By that sly fox of an elf.
