Diamond Behemoth Boss

Meeting the Diamond Behemoth again, the group no longer felt the fear they had before.

Xiao Fan immediately activated his skill, and the other four took advantage of the speed boost to kite and deal damage.

Five minutes later, the first Diamond Behemoth fell.

"Easy as pie." Garfield Without Fat held his head high, looking like a villain who had just gotten his way.

"Next one."

It was evening again when a Diamond Behemoth over three meters tall appeared before them.

Name: Diamond Behemoth (Boss)
Level: 4
HP: 680/680

The expressions on everyone's faces turned solemn in an instant.

This level 4 Fierce Beast Boss was the most powerful creature Xiao Fan had encountered so far.

He glanced at his mana, which was still at 740 points.

Including natural regeneration, he could likely cast Gift of the Saint about 8 more times.

"Everyone, get ready to engage."

Xiao Fan warned in a deep voice, and Han the Person and the others immediately gripped their weapons, their eyes locked onto the giant shadow slowly closing in.

"Roar~"

The Diamond Behemoth let out a heaven-shaking roar, its crimson giant eyes fixed firmly on the five of them, and then it swung its mountain-thick arms and charged forward.

"Zai Zai, you go first. Garfield Without Fat, take the aggro. Remember, don't get greedy with your damage!"

Xiao Fan called out a reminder.

In Cloud Sea, due to the unique healing mechanics, there was no concept of a tank Profession, nor were there any taunt-based aggro-locking skills.

After several days of observation, Xiao Fan discovered that the aggro of Fierce Beasts was mostly determined by distance and damage dealt.

He had always wanted to train Zai Zai to be the team's main tank, but Zai Zai currently lacked defensive skills, and he himself lacked stable healing skills.

I still need to level up. Only by leveling up can I create more skills.

The moment Xiao Fan spoke, he activated the skill Gift of the Saint, and Zai Zai charged out without hesitation, wielding his long spear.

Facing a level 4 Boss, he didn't dare use his Chrysanthemum Spear, fearing that the aggro would lock onto him alone.

The long spear pierced the thigh of the Diamond Behemoth Boss.

-7HP

The damage wasn't high, but the aggro instantly locked onto Zai Zai.

This window was the best time to deal damage, so Garfield Without Fat and Swift as Wind hurried to attack.

-8HP

-9HP

-8HP

-9HP

Numbers constantly floated up above the Diamond Behemoth Boss's head.

-20HP

Because Han the Person lacked a speed bonus, he didn't dare to output damage recklessly, but since he had put all his points into strength, his damage was quite impressive.

The Diamond Behemoth Boss's massive fist smashed toward Zai Zai.

To allow his teammates to deal more damage, Zai Zai had no choice but to take the hit head-on.

-200HP

A massive number flew up from above Zai Zai's head, scaring him so much he almost dropped the long spear in his hand.

"Damn, the damage is so high."

Even Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment.

Violent! Too violent!

Fortunately, the skill Gift of the Saint had mitigated 70 points of damage.

After Zai Zai leveled up to three, he had put two points into vitality.

He originally had 330 HP, and after the Diamond Behemoth Boss's punch, he only had 200 HP left.

+10HP

+10HP

The Gift of the Saint healing effect activated, and Zai Zai showed no abnormalities in his body.

"Zai Zai, move out of the attack range. Swift as Wind, take the aggro. Everyone else, stop attacking."

Xiao Fan did a quick calculation; as long as each person took one hit and utilized the healing skill, it wouldn't affect their physical condition.

After Zai Zai ran away, the aggro naturally shifted to Swift as Wind, who was still dealing damage.

Seeing this, the others resumed their attacks.

Swift as Wind utilized his speed advantage to dodge the first punch from the Diamond Behemoth Boss, only taking the second one.

He only had 300 HP, and after taking one punch from the Diamond Behemoth, he was left with only 130 HP (the shield had absorbed 70).

This health level made his body feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Garfield Without Fat, take the aggro." Xiao Fan shouted while helping Swift as Wind up.

+10HP

+10HP

Under the healing of the Gift of the Saint, Swift as Wind's health bar continuously recovered, and his body felt much better.

Seeing that the skill effect was about to expire, Xiao Fan hurriedly shouted for everyone to dodge and stop attacking.

Next came the task of running for their lives.

The Diamond Behemoth Boss was too fast; holding out for over 100 seconds was going to be extremely difficult.

Fortunately, Garfield Without Fat was already at a distance, and since he had invested his free points into Agility, he barely managed to hold on until the Gift of the Saint skill cooldown ended.

Activating the skill again, Zai Zai successfully took back the aggro, and Garfield Without Fat realized his back was already drenched in a cold sweat.

He had almost, just almost, been caught by the Diamond Behemoth.

With the negative status removed and the speed boost in effect, Garfield Without Fat quickly ran far away.

"This won't do. We can't keep going like this."

The scene just now had been too close for comfort. It made Xiao Fan realize that any mistake now could lead to casualties.

Once someone fell, everyone else would die at the hands of the Diamond Behemoth.

"What should I do?" Cold sweat streamed down Xiao Fan's face.

They might not be so lucky next time.

He glanced at his status page.

ID: Jiu Chen
Level: 3 (0/1000)
HP: 310/310
MP: 678/2524 (+2179)
Strength: 10
Intelligence: 14
Spirit: 14
Agility: 12
Constitution: 10
Trait: Saint
Skills: Halo of the Saint, Gift of the Saint 3
Equipment: None
Core Power: 568

"I've got it!"

Xiao Fan looked at his attributes.

"I may lack offensive skills, but my attributes aren't worse than the average Player. I can be the last one to take the aggro."

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan spent 50 Core Power to buy 10 points of Agility. Just in case, he spent another 50 Core Power to buy 10 points of Constitution.

This brought his Agility to 22 and his Constitution to 20.

He was now nearly twice as fast as he had been before.

Xiao Fan was instantly filled with confidence. Seeing that the skill effect was about to end again, he ran toward the Diamond Behemoth Boss.

With 22 points of speed plus the 60% speed boost from the skill, Xiao Fan felt like he was flying.

Garfield Without Fat saw the skill effect ending and was just preparing to bite the bullet and take the aggro when he suddenly saw an afterimage fly past.

"Holy crap! What was that, so fast!"

Garfield Without Fat, already tense, nearly tripped over himself. Looking closer, he realized that afterimage was actually Xiao Fan.

"Brother Chen?"

Right now, he couldn't spare the time to wonder why Xiao Fan was so fast.

"Brother Chen, hurry and dodge! Why is a Doctor running under the feet of a Boss?"

Han the Person and the others hurriedly shouted when they saw Xiao Fan appear.

"Brother Chen, run!"

Xiao Fan's expression remained unchanged as he watched the skill effect, which had only one second left.

"Everyone, stop attacking."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other four instinctively ceased their attacks.

Immediately after, they saw Xiao Fan raise his fist high and slam it into the Diamond Behemoth Boss.

Aggro instantly locked onto Xiao Fan.

"What are you waiting for? Everyone, run away!"

Xiao Fan shouted, taking the lead as he sprinted toward the distance.
