Chapter 32

Alpha unexpectedly threw a stone at the mage Firekill. Everyone thought this stone was a 3rd-level spell, "Stone Bullet," which was supposed to explode. However, when the stone hit Firekill's chest, the expected violent explosion did not occur.

Firekill, who had closed his eyes waiting for death, found that he had only lost 60 HP and was still alive, feeling both surprised and relieved. He had forgotten that he only had a little over 140 HP, and had lost more than half of it.

— Mages and Wogin Priests both have low HP, making them as fragile as ducks.

The strange "Stone Bullet" only caused 60 damage, which left everyone stunned. It felt like jumping off a small hill for the first time and finding out it was actually a cliff, and then jumping off the same hill again, prepared for a cliff, only to find it was just a small hill...

However, the fight wasn't over yet.

-76!!!

-18!!!

Firekill's remaining 80 HP was quickly reduced to zero by Barbarian Huang Basan's "Jump Slash" and a follow-up axe attack. The few ranged attacks the Barbarian Warrior had were enough to send the mage back to the Resurrection Temple.

Although Firekill had "Mage Armor" on, which provided some protection, being hit by a Barbarian in a rage state was a death sentence. Moreover, Firekill was still stunned by the series of strange events, especially the stone—no, the "Stone Bullet":

A stone that took away 60 HP from Firekill clearly wasn't a "Stone Bullet" at all, but a regular stone thrown by Alpha using "Sleeve Arrow" with 60 points of internal energy.

— Alpha was just testing if anything could be used as a "Sleeve Arrow," and it worked well.

In fact, no one, including Changqing, noticed the trick with the stone, the golden light, because everyone was focused on the "Stone Bullet." Only after it hit did they find it strange. What kind of "Stone Bullet" was this? It didn't explode, and the damage was low.

Alpha thought that if the stone had hit Firekill's chest and caused a critical hit, it would have been more convincing, with over 100 damage, fitting for a 3rd-level spell, even if it still wouldn't have been a critical hit.

In one exchange, the 5-person team of the "League of Legends" was down to two: the Shield Warrior and the Ranger "Rolling Youth," who looked at each other, unsure of what to do with their weapons.

"It's 3 vs 2 now, 'League of Legends' is truly a bunch of noobs," Alpha said with a smile.

Behind him, Changqing's "Heal Light Wounds" had already restored Alpha and Huang Basan's HP. He stood quietly, not saying anything, but was puzzled by Alpha's exaggerated taunt.

— Alpha, who was clearly hiding many secrets, didn't seem like someone who would speak recklessly.

Huang Basan, however, nodded in agreement: "The Ranger didn't even use 'Stealth,' and the mage didn't use any control spells. Is this even a PK?"

Alpha pointed at the Ranger "Rolling Youth": "And that guy with the rolling thing, didn't even set any traps. 'League of Legends' is this bad? It's easier to fight monsters."

"Damn... ah!!"

"Rolling Youth" shouted in anger but was caught off guard by a slap on his left cheek. In shock, he looked around, but saw nothing. Only the mage, who was still alive, smiled at him: "Although it doesn't cause damage, hitting you with an invisible servant is quite fun."

"Damn you..."

"Rolling Youth" shouted, but was knocked away by Huang Basan's axe as he charged in. Like the mage, "Rolling Youth" had little chance of survival once the Barbarian got close.

The Shield Warrior quickly used "Shield Bash" to stun Huang Basan, a very practical control skill.

"Your teammate has been attacked by player 'Foshan Huang Feihong.' You can retaliate against the members of his team within 5 minutes."

The names of the "League of Legends" were indeed impressive, and now another one, "Foshan Huang Feihong," had appeared. Just as "Foshan Huang Feihong" stunned Huang Basan, Alpha's short crossbow bolt was already on its way. However, the target was not "Rolling Youth" but the Shield Warrior "Foshan Huang Feihong" who had just stunned Huang Basan.

Although the 155 damage from the bolt, which hit a critical spot, was not high for a Shield Warrior, what followed was even more shocking:

After using "Sleeve Arrow," Alpha quickly rushed to the Shield Warrior's side, his right hand already touching the Shield Warrior's left chest.

"Cardiac Arrest!"

The loud spell incantation shocked everyone again.

A 5th-level spell, "Cardiac Arrest"!!! That was a spell only mages who had reached level 50 could learn!

The shock from this "Cardiac Arrest" was even greater than the earlier "Stone Bullet," so much so that everyone overlooked the awkwardness in the incantation and the fact that Alpha only touched the Shield Warrior's left chest with two fingers.

-431!!!

A pale golden critical damage number appeared above the Shield Warrior's head. The total damage of 586 was more than any player below level 20 could withstand, and it was enough to kill the Shield Warrior, who prided himself on his HP and defense.

"Shield Warrior Foshan Huang Feihong" never expected his 504 HP to be depleted so quickly.

In theory, with maxed-out Constitution and Dexterity, high HP and defense, the Shield Warrior's special "Toughness" specialization, the powerful support spell "Word of Toughness" from the Wogin Priest, and good HP-boosting equipment, no one should have been able to one-shot him.

But reality was cruel—586 damage was indeed too much for "Foshan Huang Feihong" to handle.

Of course, "Foshan Huang Feihong" didn't know that internal energy damage ignoring all defenses and reduction effects was also a major reason for his death.

"Shield Warrior Foshan Huang Feihong" died!!!

A blue-glowing helmet lay on the ground. The "League of Legends" team had finally dropped equipment, clearly a penalty for attacking others and being killed. The previously killed mage "Firekill" and others were lucky, as they didn't drop any equipment.

Alpha picked up the helmet:

[Crimson Helmet (Fine Plate Helmet):

Durability: 240/240;

Level Requirement: 10;

Class Requirement: None;

Alignment Requirement: None;

Defense: 20-24;

HP +10;

Dodge Chance +3%.]

"Here,"

Alpha tossed the helmet to Huang Basan, who looked at it, smiled, and put it on. Among the three, only the Barbarian Warrior Huang Basan could wear plate armor. The HP and dodge chance bonuses were quite useful for a Barbarian Warrior.

After killing four and dropping equipment, the 5-person team was now down to a half-HP "Rolling Youth," who was too shocked to even think of cursing, his mouth agape in horror.

"If you're not satisfied, come for revenge. I'm not going anywhere,"

At this moment, "Rolling Youth" showed a clean and quick reaction, turning and running...

Alpha didn't chase him. Changqing narrowed his eyes, not understanding why Alpha let "Rolling Youth" go. He looked back at Huang Basan, who was equally puzzled. Huang Basan shrugged, indicating his confusion. Alpha smiled and said:

"Let's kill the Bloodbird first."

Looking at the newly resurrected Bloodbird, Huang Basan and Changqing finally reacted, joining Alpha in the fight.

— Not only were they puzzled by Alpha letting "Rolling Youth" go, but the "Cardiac Arrest" spell had also left a deep impression on them.

Of course, the so-called "Cardiac Arrest" was just Alpha using "Illusionary Sound" to shout a name and then using "Pressure Point Strike" with full internal energy to hit the Shield Warrior's heart.

A full internal energy "Pressure Point Strike" that could cause over 200 damage when hitting a corpse's arm could easily cause over 400 damage to the Shield Warrior's heart, thanks to the critical hit bonus.

In short, it was all for show.

After the PK, Alpha was left with only a few points of internal energy.

Four full internal energy "Sleeve Arrow" attacks, one full internal energy "Pressure Point Strike" on the Shield Warrior, totaling 440 points of internal energy, plus the "Swift Shadow" acceleration and the "Internal Energy Shield" to resist "Burning Hand," which cost another 100 points. Even with the auto-recovery, his 568 points of internal energy were almost depleted.

It seemed that martial arts relied heavily on internal energy consumption, and his maxed-out Constitution and Willpower were well-suited for this class.

Apart from its speed and attack power, the Bloodbird wasn't a particularly difficult boss. It was less challenging than the fully powered "Corpse Fire" in terms of skill—after all, it was a resurrected corpse without a soul, making it a rigid traditional MMORPG NPC.

Thus, the three quickly killed the Bloodbird and could return to Jennifer to complete the quest. However, Alpha had no intention of leaving:

"You two go back. Be careful on the way. The 'League of Legends' will probably come for revenge."

Alpha used "Magic Trick" to change the appearance of Huang Basan and Changqing.

One carried a giant sword, and the other transformed into a Wogin Priest holding a divine gold coin. As long as they didn't attack others, the "Magic Trick" effect would not disappear.

"What about you?" Changqing asked, clearly seeing that Alpha had no intention of leaving. Combined with his earlier taunting, Changqing felt that Alpha had something in mind...
