The King’s Avatar - Chapter 871
The health of Happy’s members were also jumping around messily. An Wenyi was the busiest one. In a chaotic situation like this, he struggled a little. Reaction time and hand speed were his biggest weaknesses.
It was a good thing they also had Ye Xiu
During their offense on Sealed Mountain Tiger, his Unspecialized would send a few heals when An Wenyi lagged behind.
Though the effects might be limited, An Wenyi’s heals were often just a second too late, allowing Lord Grim’s weaker heals to keep near-death characters alive in that one second before Little Cold Hands landed a heal.
In the end, there were no casualties.
This was in part because the players behind the characters were skilled, but more because the healer had a good grasp of the situation on the battlefield.
An Wenyi’s reaction time and hand speed might not be able to keep up, but his awareness and judgement were very clear. He knew how to keep everyone at a safe level of health. It was just that his skill sometimes wasn’t enough to turn thoughts into reality, but with Ye Xiu’s Unspecialized, they were fine. System Announcement!
Accompanying Sealed Mountain Tiger’s defeat was the eye-catching and timely announcement from the game.
The First Kill announcement for Boss Sealed Mountain Tiger and the entire Sealed Mountain Thieves Hideout jumped out in turn.
It was already 3:13 AM by now and the servers were still as crowded as ever. The players might’ve been expecting these two shocking announcements, but they still went berserk upon actually seeing them. These guys really did it!!!
At level 70, in a ten-person party dungeon, they had managed to clear it on the first try.
This was something impossible for normal players, but Guild Happy had done it. Were these guys really at the pro level already?
With the dungeon cleared, it was time for them to retrieve their First Kill rewards. Compared to these, the drops from the dungeon were pathetic. Sealed Mountain Tiger only dropped two pieces of purple equipment in the end. For normal players, this was enough for them to cry tears of joy. However, for Happy, for a team that wanted to achieve victory in the Challenger’s League, what they wanted was orange equipment.
Relying on dungeons to earn orange equipment was too hard. Yet now, five bosses plus the dungeon itself made six First Kill records. From what they had seen, the rewards from these kinds of records would be at least on par with orange equipment. They just weren’t sure if the total rewards would be decreased after they cleared every single boss.
The current rewards were what Happy truly cared about.
“I’m going to collect them!” Ye Xiu said.
“Go!” Everyone took a deep breath.
“First Boss Vanguard Brother Wolf’s First Kill,” Ye Xiu said as he clicked on the rewards for this First Kill.
In the party chat, the system sent a notice.
“Orange words!!” Chen Guo hadn’t even seen what it was, but was already screaming out seeing the color of the words.
“Stay calm!” Ye Xiu said.
“A Weapon!” Chen Guo took another glance and screamed in joy again. Weapons were the most important out of all the pieces of equipment. In the pro circle, the use of silver equipment was far from a hundred percent, but it infinitely neared that rate. The reason it never reached it, was because there would always be new teams that dragged the overall percentage down every season.
Vanguard Brother Wolf’s First Kill, rewarded equipment: Killing Wolf.
Level 75 Tachi.
Weight 2.4 kg, Endurance 24, Attack Speed 8;
Melee Attack 750, Magic Attack 800;
Strength +42, Intelligence +35; Melee Crit Rate +10%;
Attack Speed +3;
Downwind Sword Slash Skill Level +3;
Upon attack, there is a 5% chance of weakening the target’s Melee defense by 10% for 5 seconds.
Everyone’s cursor and attention were all on Killing Wolf, admiring the stats of the equipment, until Ye Xiu spoke up, “Does anyone of us use swords here?”
“Ah?” Qiao Yifan responded.
“Er, here, you take it?” Ye Xiu asked. His question wasn’t because he didn’t want anyone else to use it, but because Killing Wolf didn’t really suit One Inch Ash’s Phantom Demon.
Tachis were a rather well-rounded kind of sword, used for both melee and magic and an apt choice for any of the four swordsman classes. Which exact sword one should use still depended on the bonuses that the sword gave though. From the bonuses on Killing Wolf, it could be seen that Killing Wolf was more suited for Blademasters. If not, then Berserkers and Sword Demons were a good choice as well. However, Phantom Demons and Spellblades wouldn’t earn much of an advantage from using this tachi.
One Inch Ash was currently using an Orange short sword. Short swords had the strongest magic attack and Intelligence bonuses among the sword types. If you were really to compare Killing Wolf to One Inch Ash’s short sword, then Killing Wolf wouldn’t even provide advantages in the basic stats. One Inch Ash didn’t need to switch weapons at all.
“I don’t think I have any use for this…?” Qiao Yifan was, of course, clear on this as well.
“Just hang onto it for now!” Ye Xiu said.
Though they had gotten a weapon their team didn’t really need, Glory didn’t bind equipment to player accounts, so the weapon still had value to it. If it was another game, they might not be as happy about it.
With the first Boss giving them a piece of orange equipment, everyone was very confident. It seemed that even the individual Boss rewards were very bountiful.
“Second Boss!” Ye Xiu announced as he collected the rewards for the First kill of the second Boss, Head Guard Sand Leopard.
“Ah! So much!!” As soon as the notice popped up in the party chat, Chen Guo expressed her surprise again. This time, there were three rewards. Yet with another look, all the rewards were something something stone, something something wood; they didn’t sound like equipment. Hovering their cursor over the names, they were three materials, as expected.
The materials that came from a dungeon record rewards would be on par with wild Boss drops. However, with what little they knew about level 75 materials, the three materials: Sealed Mountain Stone, Sealed Mountain Wood, Blue Fang Moon… The worth of these materials that sounded like local specialities would have to be researched.
Then it was the third Boss, Tactician Frigid Eagle.
Though, out of the five Bosses, Frigid Eagle was the weakest individual, he still had a First Kill record, so the rewards wouldn’t be bad. Plus, with all the ambushes that Frigid Eagle had planned, and teaming up with the fourth Boss after that, it was a major test of player endurance. If they were less skilled at controlling their own pace, then this round would probably have been even harder than the Final Boss.
Frigid Eagle’s First Kill reward was a pair of leather boots with a very character-specific name called Frigid Eagle’s Boots.
The stats were, of course, orange equipment level. Apart from the basic melee defense, it added a bonus of 30 Intelligence, 12 movement speed, and 10 jump power.
For a pair of shoes like this, the bonus to Intelligence was great for a Witch. However, for Battle Mages, Intelligence was also important. Without a doubt, this pair of shoes went to Soft Mist.
“Next one!” Ye Xiu said as he clicked on the First Kill reward for the fourth Boss, Vice Chief Brown Bear.
