Chapter 544: Chapter 544: A Spectacular Performance
As it is now, the Fruit Knight continues to eye the boss’s attack. Otherwise, one hit from the boss can instantly kill a squishy.
The two secondary tanks are down, and there are countless enemies that nobody can control.
With toxins and obstacles scattered all over the ground, it’s impossible to form a reliable defense.
Members of Starfire tumble down one after another. Without adequate healing, the Fruit Knight eventually falls.
Although the boss’s health is less than 20,000, as the offensive players dwindle and the Nature System Treant’s healing takes effect, it’s like there’s no end to the boss’s health.
Eventually, only Li Yao is left.
Li Yao is in grave danger. With the death of the Starfire members, he has become the sole target.
Viewers from Starfire watching the video can’t help but marvel at Li Yao’s footwork as he skillfully evades each and every close-range attack from the Treants.
His dodges are just perfect. What seemed to them as an unavoidable onslaught, Li Yao easily disperses in a single step.
And it’s as if he knows the terrain like the back of his hand—the wooden posts and toxins that hindered them have become tools for his evasion and dodging skills.
Everyone watched as Li Yao danced among the monsters like a butterfly. Yes, like a dance.
Li Yao floated among the monsters like a butterfly, only being touched by wide-range skills now and then.
But the damage was limited. They saw Li Yao single-handedly kill a Healing Treant.
They realized that Li Yao didn’t hold back his attacks while dodging.
Li Yao killed one healing Treant and quickly repositioned, killing another one.
At this point, there was only half a minute left until the boss summoned new Treants.
Li Yao’s health is down to half. Even with his high offensive power, the most damage he could inflict on the boss was less than 300, usually around 100 to 200.
Trying to whittle down the boss’s 30,000 health point seemed hard.
Everyone became even more curious. How did Li Yao alone manage to take down the massive amount of health that they collectively couldn’t, ultimately achieving the first kill?
They watched as Li Yao, after killing the second Nature System Treant, morphed into a machine man.
“Death God 4000!” everyone exclaimed.
“That is Beast Mastery, isn’t it?” Unparalleled La Femme said.
Li Yao, who was also watching the video, commented, “Defeating the boss this time around was pretty much luck. The Skill Book played the most critical role.”
They were speechless. Other players didn’t even have a chance if they were just relying on luck.
“Bro, what kind of footwork was that? Can you teach me?” asked Curious Eyes.
“It’s called the Butterfly Walk,” said Unparalleled La Femme. “You should be able to do it too, right?”
Curious Eyes shook her head. “No way, I do know the Butterfly Walk, but I’m not that good.”
“But that is the Butterfly Walk,” Unparalleled La Femme insisted. “We just can’t bring out its true essence. Who here can use it like he does, like a dance?”
“Correct. This is the Butterfly Walk,” Li Yao confirmed. “I remember Qian Ji telling you guys about footwork techniques and tips. Just practice and you’ll be able to do it too.”
Their eyes lit up. If they had such badass footwork, no boss would pose a challenge to them.
On-screen, Li Yao transformed into Death God 4000. What originally looked cumbersome became incredibly agile in his hands.
The Death God 4000 held a shield in one hand and a rocket cannon in the other. Li Yao used the rocket cannon to attack while using the shield to bash about the Treants, interrupting their abilities and using the recoil to back away.
The Death God 4000 dealt more damage than Li Yao’s original form, causing damage of 400 to 500.
However, its attack speed was a bit slower. When the boss’s HP dropped below 15,000, the teleporter finally activated.
Li Yao rushed forward, the rocket bomb blasted the Nature System Treant while his shield flashed a glimmer of light and smashed into the Treant.
The Treant fell with a thud and was trampled on by the others. Using this power, Li Yao’s transformed Death God 4000 stepped back abruptly.
But due to the delay, he lost half of his health points.
A red light flashed under Death God as he activated Flame Spray and took off into the air.
Accompanied by the flying Rocket Bomb, Li Yao then crashed into another Nature System Treant that had fallen. This Treant also fell to the ground.
This time, not to mention the Treant, even the Death God 4000 got trampled on by countless Treants and couldn’t get up.
“Time Trace!”
Although Li Yao couldn’t use his own skills at this moment, he could still use the skills provided by his equipment.
Li Yao returned to the time before he activated Flame Spray and jumped towards the other side.
Because of his previous motion, the monsters had clustered to the other side.
Time Trace gave him the opportunity to recollect himself. While he was in mid-air, he fired Rocket Bombs continuously, killing the first Treant and then quickly outputting against the boss.
“You idiots!” The Ancient Tree boss was furious. With his health points running out, he was starting to panic.
But his attacks never ceased—striking with tree trunks, throwing wooden spears, and spraying poison.
However, Li Yao forced all his focus on evading, paying little attention to the smaller monsters’ attacks. If the boss attacked him, he could be dismantled instantly.
Boom, boom, boom, boom…
The Ancient Tree boss couldn’t move and could only be bombed by one rocket after another.
At this point, the Treants charged again, and the Nature System Treant was just struggling to get up.
Li Yao activated Flame Spray once again and soared over the Treants. In the middle of his flight, he repeatedly fired his Rocket Cannon at the Nature System Treant that wanted to stand up.
Following that, he killed the second Nature System Treant. There was still thirty seconds left until the next teleporter.
And the Nature System Treant has only released two Spring Techniques. Under Li Yao’s bombardment, the boss’s health was finally less than 10,000.
“No, how could I possibly lose to a mortal like you.” As the Ancient Tree boss’s HP decreased, he became desperate and started to go crazy.
The Treants also went crazy, and they began to self-destruct one by one.
Like a chain explosion, it was evident that the Ancient Tree boss wanted to use the Treants’ self-destruction to kill Li Yao.
If this happened when there were many players, such a concentrated attack would undoubtedly lead to a total wipe. But everyone saw that Li Yao could even use the blast waves to move himself. He used his shield to the maximum extent.
“I will not lose to you. Let’s die together.” A hint of madness flickered in the eyes of the Ancient Tree boss.
His body suddenly exploded, sending out a massive shockwave.
Li Yao raised his shield, and the light curtain enveloped him.
But the shockwave was too strong. Li Yao’s light curtain shattered instantly, and his health rapidly decreased.
Death God 4000 exploded, revealing Li Yao. He lay on the ground, but the shockwave had passed. The Ancient Tree boss self-destructed and died, while Li Yao was left hanging on…
