BXBX NOVEL Chapter 21: Hero Chieftain BOSS
Chapter 21: Hero Chieftain BOSS
And the two rare Goblin Berserker BOSSes, following closely by the Chieftain's side, were enveloped in a ring of red light, their bodies swelling up a bit, then just like the Chieftain, a simple basic attack could shatter any melee skeleton.
Zi Liyuan watched this scene until he was numb.
Without skills to enhance the skeletons, which were the most basic cannon fodder of the Undead Species, they were truly more brittle than instant noodles.
Fortunately, the magical skeleton squad dealt considerable damage, with a round of magical bombardment causing 5000+ damage.
As long as the melee skeleton cannon fodder could hold back the BOSS's advance, four rounds of magic bombardment could take out the two rare bosses.
The Goblin Chieftain seemed to sense the impending crisis, swung his Wolf Fang Club in a big circle, smashing all the approaching Skeleton Cannon Fodder into pieces, then made a leap, trying to jump out of the encirclement formed by the melee skeletons.
The hope was rich, but the reality was stark.
Just as the Chieftain leaped into the sky, four Skeleton Behemoths also jumped up, their massive three-meter frames directly colliding with it in mid-air and forcibly knocking it back to the ground.
The Skeleton Behemoths shattered into pieces in the air, but the momentum of their jump was also consumed, and the Chieftain fell back down.
It failed to leap out of the encirclement of melee skeletons, and as it fell, the melee skeletons swarmed around once more.
Even if letting two rare bosses break out of the encirclement, it was absolutely essential not to let the Chieftain escape; such was Zi Liyuan's plan.
Moreover, from the beginning, Zi Liyuan had also joined the offense.
Summon Skeleton, Shadow Arrow, Shadow Arrow Rain, and Deathly Shadow Arrow—all cast in line with their cooldowns.
While ensuring the battlefield was full of skeletons, his damage output wasn't low either, and he mainly targeted the two rare bosses.
Especially the damage from the Deathly Shadow Arrow, a single shot could deal 1800+ damage, as for drawing extreme aggro, thus being chased by the boss.
Zi Liyuan wasn't afraid though, his silver shoes increased his movement speed by 40%, making him not at all slow, and even slightly faster than the two rare bosses!
The only thing that troubled Zi Liyuan was that the Chieftain's throwing attack skill aimed at him every time.
Even with 163 points of physical resistance, he still lost 300+ health when struck.
Fortunately, it didn't take long to kite before the two rare bosses were bombarded into dust by the magical skeleton squad.
After that, dealing with the Chieftain became even easier.
Melee skeletons, recklessly serving as cannon fodder, surrounding it in four or five layers, with Skeleton Behemoths ready to leap at any time on the outermost layer to disrupt the Chieftain's attempt to break through the encirclement.
The magical skeleton team was scattered around the Chieftain, frantically lobbing magic attacks.
Zi Liyuan also began the stationary combat mode, as he had to constantly replenish the broken Skeleton Cannon Fodder, his spellcasting wasn't continuous, but the damage he dealt was still the highest in the group.
Compared to the heroic Goblin Priest, the Goblin Chieftain's attributes were a bit stronger, with health breaking through to 100,000.
But likewise, it couldn't withstand being beaten by hundreds of skeletons, its health declining impressively solid.
However, facing the shameless tactics of the Undead Scourge, the Goblin Chieftain, despite its overwhelming individual strength, had no choice but to fall in defeat.
But Zi Liyuan had seen the Goblin Chieftain's last trump card, his ultimate move, and had to admit it was really powerful, it almost broke through the encirclement of the melee skeletons.

Unfortunately, under the relentless onslaught of the Skeleton Cannon Fodder, the Chieftain could do nothing but accept his fate.

Zi Liyuan gained 20,000 more experience than from the Goblin Priests and dropped a complete set of silver hero's gear, along with four blue-quality Spatial Backpacks.
However, what Zi Liyuan checked first were the Skill Books dropped by the Chieftain, especially "Attack Aura".
Attack Aura (Blue, Level 1, 0/1000): Once activated, consumes 1 Spiritual Energy per second and covers all friendly units within a hundred meters, increasing their physical attack by 10 points, learning requirement: All occupations.
Without a moment's hesitation, Zi Liyuan learned this skill and hurriedly set about upgrading it with his experience points.
Attack Aura (Blue, Level 5, -/30000): Once activated, consumes 1 Spiritual Energy per second and covers all friendly units within 500 meters, increasing their physical attack by 30 points, learning requirement: All occupations.
Each level only increased the physical attack by 5 points, but the coverage range expanded by 100 meters; overall, it was an excellent strategic buff skill.
As for the other five skills, they could all be learned only by close-combat professions, which greatly annoyed Zi Liyuan.
In particular, the skill "Boiling Beast Blood" was incredible: when health dropped below 10%, body strength increased by 30% for an impressive 30 seconds duration, effectively a burst god-tier ability.
Unfortunately, he could only look on enviously.
After cleaning up the battlefield and regaining his status, Zi Liyuan led the Skeleton Army near the Stone Hall.
Two Vulture Skeletons were flying left and right in the air, closely monitoring every move of the Goblin Wizards and the Giant Goblin Warriors.
Seeing these two Hero BOSSes move towards the vicinity of the Stone Hall, Zi Liyuan had already set up a trap, ready for them to deliver themselves right to his doorstep.
The battle wasn't set at the entrance of the Stone Hall.
Instead, it was near another stone and wood structure building not far from the Stone Hall.
This stone and wood structure had two floors, and the first floor appeared to be a massive slaughterhouse specifically for processing the creatures caught by the Goblins.
The second floor, on the other hand, was an independent stone room with over a dozen stone beds inside, likely a resting area for the butchers.
Zi Liyuan stood on the top of the second floor, which allowed a clear view of the streets on both sides.
The two Hero BOSSes were trapped on adjacent streets, with the slaughterhouse between them, making it impossible for the two BOSSes to see each other.
The melee skeletons lying in ambush on both sides were pretty much identical.
There were 10 Shield Combat Skeletons, 5 Skeleton Behemoths, and 5 Skeleton Knights, all ready to block the BOSSes' escape and ensnare them near the slaughterhouse.
Additionally, 2 Vulture Skeletons flew in the sky, constantly monitoring the battle to avert any unforeseen circumstances.
The remaining 102 skeletons were all of the magical type and were all concentrated inside the slaughterhouse, on both the first and second floors, filling the space with their presence.
