Great Victory

The Dragonkin monsters have collapsed.

Although the Skeleton Soldier can only exist for 44 seconds, those few dozen seconds are enough to determine the outcome of the entire battle.

Bai Xiaowen maximized the use of these Skeleton Soldier, driving them as close as possible to the Dragonkin leader Nakitasi... Even if they managed to land a single blow and deal a dozen points of damage before being killed by Nakitasi's broadsword, it would be a bonus.

Little by little, Nakitasi's Life Value were already significantly depleted by the Butcher's Rot, and with the relentless suicidal attacks of the Skeleton Soldier, his Life Value were dropping even faster.

The Butcher's Life Value was also running low, so Bai Xiaowen promptly removed him to participate in killing other Dragonkin monsters, slowly increasing his Life Value through the Slaughterhouse's passive ability.

Unfortunately, Qiao Rui's "Life Healing" skill is essentially based on life energy, and like holy healing spells, it has a negative effect on undead filled with darkness and negative energy. Even if Qiao Rui subjectively considers the Butcher an ally, she cannot change this fact.

To heal undead creatures, only skills like Shadow Healing and Withering Coil are effective, but these skills often cannot heal living creatures...

However, as long as the Butcher doesn't die, it's fine. The more than one hundred newly appeared Skeleton Soldier are enough to change the course of the battle. Moreover, as time goes by and the number of dead increases, even more Skeleton Soldier will be transformed. Delifa's Corpse Revival skill will remain effective after activation, but it will continuously deduct Divine Might.

Of course, the Skeleton Soldier that are generated later are not as lucky as the Howl bonus from Rageclaw and the Commander’s Cloak's Cloak bonus from Commanding Roar, so they are weaker.

"A filthy monster!"

Nakitasi Frost Breath, freezing seven or eight Skeleton Soldier in a cone-shaped area in front of him into ice sculptures. He raised his broadsword high and with a Cleave, scraped all the unfortunate Skeleton Soldier into bone fragments.

But it was all for naught. The two skills only took down less than ten Skeleton Soldier, and dozens more were filling the Skeleton Soldier... Nakitasi's Divine Might was limited and simply not enough to support him in casting too many skills.

After the Dragonkin monsters were at a great disadvantage, some monsters began to flee. Among them were the surviving Elite Snow Kobold Wizard and Gnoll Warrior. These two groups belonged to the Dragon Clan ' "vassal groups" and were also called dragonkin (the Dragon Clan do not recognize that Kobold have Dragon Bloodline). They were inherently cowardly, and fighting to the death was not their style.

The remaining Dragonkin monsters that put up a stubborn resistance fell like wheat being harvested.

In the end, only Nakitasi remained alive among the Dragonkin monsters on the frozen lake, but his Life Value had already dropped to about one-third.

By this time, the Skeleton Soldier ' duration had long expired, and the main force besieging Nakitasi had become Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures—as for the Elite Ghost and Spider Demon under Goliya's command, Bai Xiaowen didn't want them to even scratch the boss.

"○(^Van^)っ..."

Having fully recovered and become energetic again, the Butcher stood before Nakitasi once more, baring his teeth and revealing a smile on his fat face that filled Nakitasi with resentment.

Despite his anger, Nakitasi felt a surge of powerlessness—this was not an illusion, but rather the Butcher's Rotting Toxin taking effect again, significantly reducing Nakitasi's defense and the damage he could deal to the Butcher.

"The dragon will return, and you will all become its food!"

With his final curse, Nakitasi's last bit of Life Value was depleted, and he fell backward to the sky.

With that, all four Leader Tier Dragonkin monsters were dead. Bai Xiaowen didn't want to pursue the escaped Snow Kobold and Gnoll anymore; it would be bad if it left the Ice Lake defenses undefended and they were able to take advantage of the situation.

The White Phoenix Squad patiently waited for the mission time to end. During this time, Qiao Rui continued to use the Falcon Spirit to survey the surrounding area, preventing a possible next wave of Dragonkin monsters—although the possibility was relatively low.

During this time, Bai Xiaowen took out the treasure chests he had obtained in this battle and opened them one by one.

There are four Golden Tier treasure chests and seven Silver Treasure Chest.

"Including the previous Black-Scaled Earthwalker Dragon Chieftain, this mission actually requires killing five Boss Tier to complete..." Li Shuyi exclaimed.

"More Boss Tier mean more rewards," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "Let's open these three level 7 Boss Tier chests first, one for each of us, to relax a bit."

The three level 7 Boss Tier chests are all rated C-Tier, and you get one chance to draw from each without missing out. Of course, the Boss Chest also come with a Psionic Points.

Li Shuyi chose the treasure chest of the Half-Dragon boss Maji, and after opening it, she drew a Skill Book.

[Venomous Burst Skill Book: Teaches you the Venomous Burst skill.]

[Venomous Burst: Passive - You can poison your blade. Your basic attacks will poison the target, dealing 6 points (equivalent to the user's class level) of poison damage every 5 seconds for 15 seconds. This effect can stack up to 10 times. Actively activating Venomous Burst will detonate and remove all poison stacks at once.]

This skill is very powerful, combining sustained damage with burst damage. Bai Xiaowen was extremely wary of Tsushima because he saw this skill. Of course, Maji has other skills to complement it. He has a Multiple Piercing skill that can add multiple damage hits in a single attack, allowing him to apply 10 stacks of poison passive in the shortest time, making it particularly terrifying.

Clearly, this skill, which relies on attack speed, is best suited for Li Shuyi.

"I don't have the space to learn this anymore. Unless I forget how to use the Double Slash," Li Shuyi said.

"No, your Double Slash skill is now Triple Slash. Although the star rating is a bit low, it matches your fighting style and the output style of this new skill very well. You absolutely must keep it," Bai Xiaowen said. "The other two skills are a dash and a defensive/area-of-effect attack, respectively. Their skill roles are very suitable. Unless you encounter a better skill of the same type, you definitely won't change them."

"Then... I'll just have to wait until I advance to the Hero Class and have an extra skill slot before I can learn this," Li Shuyi said after thinking for a moment.

"Your hands are quite rosy, little junior," Qiao Rui said with a smile, handing over the Golden Treasure Chest. "You can open this one too."

"No, Sister Qiao, why don't you open the box yourself?" Li Shuyi was very tempted. The fun of opening boxes and drawing cards was indescribable and easily addictive...

Qiao Rui, being perceptive, could easily see through Li Shuyi's true intentions. She smiled, shook her head, and handed the box over again.

"Then I won't be polite."

Li Shuyi opened the chest with a smile. This treasure chest, which had been dropped by the Kobold Diviner Mibo, contained twenty-two gold cards.
