Watching the towering figure of the Death Knight crash to the ground, the notification sound rang in his ears, and Yi Tianchen couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
There was no denying that this Death Knight was indeed formidable. Not only did it possess powerful attributes, but it also had impressive combat intelligence. If it weren't for the five bottles of Corrosive Potion given to him by Evil Alchemist Zazali, Yi Tianchen would never have been able to defeat it in such a short time.
However, just as Yi Tianchen thought everything was settled, a soft white light suddenly emanated from the corpse of the Death Knight, creating an eerie spectacle.
For players, this indicated resurrection; for monsters, it was a sign of respawning!
In an instant, Yi Tianchen's eyes widened in disbelief at what he was witnessing. Yet, amidst his astonishment, he quickly retreated three to four meters, preparing for any unexpected changes.
Before long, the notification sounded---
System Notification: Target [Death Knight] has activated skill [Undead Resurrection Lv-3], regaining life and recovering 30% Health Points while sacrificing 200 points of defense to convert into physical attack power!
"Damn it!"
Yi Tianchen shuddered; those were the only two words he could muster after realizing what had happened. Not only did it come back to life, but it also converted 200 points of defense into physical attack power. Coupled with its already formidable attack strength, the Death Knight was now undoubtedly a lethal force of destruction.
However, Yi Tianchen quickly realized that this was a generous gift from the System. The Death Knight had only recovered 30% of its Vitality upon resurrection. Although its attack had increased, its defense had correspondingly decreased. This effectively compensated for Yi Tianchen's previous issues with insufficient attack power and difficulty in breaking through defenses.
What thrilled Yi Tianchen even more was that the System had already notified him of the rewards for defeating the BOSS. Glancing at his experience bar, he confirmed that the hefty 550,000 experience points were indeed in his possession. Now getting another chance at resurrection was equivalent to being given another level 30 Silver BOSS!
And this time, it would be a Silver BOSS with only 30% Vitality!
"Wow..."
In an instant, Yi Tianchen's heart was filled with excitement and worry. The excitement came from the prospect of facing another Silver-level Boss, while the worry stemmed from the Death Knight's significantly increased attack power. How could he cope with the brutal battle that was about to begin?
Lost in thought, Yi Tianchen gripped his weapon, Wrath of the Wilderness, tightly, his gaze burning as he stared at the Death Knight before him, who had been granted life for the third time, ready to engage at any moment.
"Die!"
That word rang out, chillingly fierce!
The Death Knight glared at Yi Tianchen, an unprecedented aura of dominance mixed with rage pouring forth. With a mighty swing of its heavy sword, three golden arcs of sword energy shot out like lightning.
"Bang! Bang..."
In just a moment, Yi Tianchen was struck twice in quick succession, his body lifted off the ground and sent flying. Fortunately, the green grass beneath him and a layer of decaying leaves cushioned his fall, preventing him from being shattered upon impact.
-785! -852!
System Notification: Target [Death Knight] used skill [Rift Slash Lv-3], dealing two consecutive attacks to you. You lost 1637 points of Vitality!
"Ugh... so fast!"
Yi Tianchen exclaimed speechlessly, completely unprepared for the Death Knight's sudden burst of power. Before he could even get back on his feet, he downed a Fourth-Level Life Potion. But in that fleeting moment, another tearing sound echoed as the Death Knight launched its second wave of attacks.
Cleave Lv-3!
"Clang!"
Before Yi Tianchen could rise, the Death Knight charged forward, its heavy sword emanating a strong crimson glow, wielding the power to split mountains and rocks as it swung down towards his back.
Yi Tianchen felt a sinking sensation in his heart. Without any hesitation, he rolled over and raised the Rage of the Wilderness, lying on the ground to block the deadly strike. The immense force transmitted through the sword, and Yi Tianchen could distinctly feel his body sinking several inches into the earth.
"Roar..."
The Death Knight howled in fury, a strong stench assaulting Yi Tianchen's face, nearly overwhelming him to the point of surrender. Seizing this brief moment, Yi Tianchen quickly deflected the Death Knight's heavy sword with a swing of his own and immediately cast Necromantic Binding, rolling to the side and scrambling away in a panic.
"Damn..."
Yi Tianchen gasped for breath, seemingly trying to purify the foul odor he had involuntarily inhaled earlier. But his gaze remained fixed on the Death Knight before him, with only one thought racing through his mind: this guy has completely lost it!
"Whoosh..."
Savage Charge Lv-1!
Two seconds later, just as the Death Knight was about to break free from its bindings, Yi Tianchen activated Savage Charge and dashed forward at high speed.
However, unexpectedly, in that brief moment, as the Death Knight freed itself from the restraints and merely sidestepped less than twenty centimeters, a "MISS" indicator flashed out. Yi Tianchen was taken aback; a slight miscalculation in timing had allowed this monster to slip away?
Was it just a coincidence?
Yi Tianchen found it hard to believe. He knew how much control was required to evade in such a short span of time. Yet, he couldn't afford to doubt what was unfolding before him; in just a moment of distraction, the Death Knight's powerful strike came crashing down.
-1399!
The Death Knight had increased its attack by 200 points, and although it only had 30% Health Points, Yi Tianchen found it even more difficult to deal with than before. The sudden burst of power, the mastery of the battle rhythm, and the timely and precise counterattacks all indicated that this was an incredibly formidable opponent.
In a daze, Yi Tianchen suddenly realized that perhaps it was because he saw it had only 30% Health Points that he unconsciously developed a sense of overconfidence. It was precisely for this reason that in just a brief moment, he, who should have held various advantages, found himself being suppressed at every turn.
Having figured this out, Yi Tianchen quickly dodged away, executing several sharp turns as he ran into the Bush, where he pulled out a bottle of Fourth-Level Life Potion and drank it, stabilizing his Vitality at around 40%. He finally managed to alleviate the danger to his life.
Adjusting his Tactics, Yi Tianchen began to use positioning to waste the Death Knight's attacks while waiting for an opportunity. With the Death Knight's defense reduced by 200 points, the damage Yi Tianchen could inflict was even better than when he used the Corrosive Potion earlier.
“Roar…”
After being struck by a few of Yi Tianchen's blows, the Death Knight let out an enraged roar that hinted at a growing impatience, which was extremely deadly on the battlefield. Previously, Yi Tianchen had learned that overconfidence mixed with impatience could lead to chaos in one’s mind…
Moreover, it served as a signal for a full-scale attack.
“Very well! Next… it's my turn!”
With a slight smile, Yi Tianchen murmured to himself as he charged forward with Wild Fury. He shifted his foot and leaned his body to circle around a large tree for cover, delivering three swift strikes in succession. Each strike landed perfectly, “slash slash slash,” as he ground against the Death Knight's Black Armor, creating bursts of sparks.
