Battle Online: My Luck Is So High It's Basically Cheating

Arriving before the Boss, Lucien cautiously took out the Jade Ruyi.

His muscles tensed, every nerve in his body on high alert as he fixed his gaze on the massive beast in front of him.

The Boss’s yellow-and-black fur stood on end, crackling faintly with residual energy.

At this moment, it had clearly sensed Lucien’s strength.

No longer resembling the sickly tiger from before, it straightened its body, its sharp eyes locking onto him like a ruler examining a challenger.

From this seemingly insignificant human, it felt danger.

A real threat.

Because of that, it didn’t dare act rashly.

For a brief moment, the battlefield fell into complete silence.

One man and one tiger stood facing each other, neither willing to take the first step.

Even the distant sounds of battle seemed to fade.

The air grew heavy, thick with killing intent.

After several seconds, the Thunderwing Tiger finally lost its patience.

It threw its head back and released a deafening roar.

The ground trembled.

In the next instant, its hind legs pushed off violently, and its massive body shot forward like a bolt of lightning.

"Ding! You have been marked by the opponent; your defense is reduced by thirty percent for half an hour."

Lucien’s eyes sharpened.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand.

Nine Five Elements Zombies appeared instantly, forming a defensive wall in front of him.

-6000

The zombie at the very front lost six thousand health in a single strike.

Lucien shifted his footing and moved to the side, narrowly avoiding the follow-up attack.

At the same time, he issued a command.

The zombies counterattacked immediately.

-2000

-1800

-2100

...

Damage numbers rose steadily, but Lucien’s expression didn’t relax.

Too little.

Far too little.

Compared to the Boss’s enormous health pool and its natural regeneration, this kind of damage was barely scratching the surface.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand again.

Poisoning Technique activated.

A faint dark aura spread across the Boss’s body, suppressing its regeneration almost instantly.

Only then did Lucien feel a slight reduction in pressure.

"Thunder God, Assist Me!"

A surge of terrifying power erupted from his body.

One phantom appeared behind him.

Then another.

And another...

Until nine phantoms stood aligned behind him, radiating overwhelming pressure.

The sky dimmed slightly, as if even the heavens were reacting to the gathering energy.

The nine phantoms raised their hands in unison.

Lightning descended.

-15000

-60000 (Critical Hit)

-60000 (Critical Hit)

-60000 (Critical Hit)

...

Under the Electrified State, combined with his extremely high Luck, nearly every strike triggered a critical hit.

The barrage of lightning continued for several seconds.

By the time it ended—

Over five hundred thousand damage had been dealt.

The Boss’s health dropped visibly.

It let out a furious roar, clearly enraged.

Not far away, the players fighting ordinary monsters couldn’t help but turn their heads.

"What kind of damage is that?!"

"Half a million in a few seconds... that’s insane!"

"SSS Talent is just unfair..."

"That’s not even a player anymore—that’s a walking boss!"

Lucien ignored the noise.

His focus never left the Thunderwing Tiger.

Without pause, he followed up with Soul Fire Talismans and Five Elements Talismans.

-8000 (Critical Hit)

-3500

-8500 (Critical Hit)

...

Each skill triggered multiple hits, but compared to the earlier lightning burst, the damage was noticeably lower.

Still, it was consistent.

Stable.

Controlled.

Lucien knew he could deal even more damage.

Lightning Fist would be far more effective in the current Electrified State.

But this wasn’t a dungeon.

This was reality.

A single mistake could cost him everything.

He chose stability over greed.

The Thunderwing Tiger’s intelligence was clearly high.

After a few exchanges, it abandoned its frontal assault.

Its massive body twisted mid-motion, attempting to bypass the zombies and strike directly at Lucien.

But it failed.

Every route was blocked.

The Nine Zombies moved with coordination, forming a constantly shifting defense.

No matter how the Boss tried to break through, it was intercepted.

Unable to reach its true target, the Boss grew increasingly agitated.

It focused all its attacks on a single zombie.

Claw after claw descended.

The zombie’s health plummeted rapidly.

Just as it was about to be destroyed—

A green light flashed.

Its health instantly returned to full.

Lucien’s Healing Art had landed at the exact critical moment.

The Boss froze briefly, then turned its gaze toward Lucien.

Its killing intent surged.

Another roar echoed across the battlefield.

In the next instant, a ghostly figure appeared in front of Lucien.

Chang Ghost

Level 25

HP: 1,000,000

Attack: 4000

Description: A spirit formed from those killed by the Thunderwing Tiger.

The pressure increased immediately.

But Lucien remained calm.

His skill cooldown had already reset.

"Thunder God, Assist Me!"

Lightning descended again.

-90000 (Critical Hit)

-180000 (Critical Hit)

-180000 (Critical Hit)

...

The Chang Ghost didn’t even last long enough to react.

By the seventh strike, it had completely dissipated.

Lightning damage was devastating against spirit-type enemies.

But before Lucien could capitalize—

A bolt of lightning struck him from above.

-12000

A sharp pain shot through his body.

His expression tightened slightly, but he didn’t panic.

Healing Spell activated instantly.

His health returned to full.

However, in that brief moment—

One of the Five Elements Zombies had reached its limit.

Before his next heal could come off cooldown—

It was destroyed.

Lucien’s gaze darkened slightly.

As long as even one zombie remained, he couldn’t resummon the full formation.

Leaving combat to reset them wasn’t an option either.

Not with the Boss pressing this hard.

The battle had officially entered a war of attrition.

Lucien adjusted his rhythm.

Attack.

Heal.

Position.

Repeat.

Every movement was precise, controlled, deliberate. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The Boss, on the other hand, grew more violent as its health dropped.

Its attacks became faster, heavier, more relentless.

Yet no matter how it struggled—

It couldn’t break through.

Time passed slowly.

Bit by bit, the Boss’s health continued to fall.

Ten percent.

Another ten percent.

The gap narrowed steadily.

In the distance, the players who were still fighting couldn’t help but glance over repeatedly.

"Did you see that? That skill just did nearly a million damage!"

"Forget watching—focus on clearing these monsters!"

"These mobs are insane for farming—high experience and better drops!"

"If we survive this, we’re definitely getting stronger!"

Even so, their attention kept drifting back.

Because they all understood—

This wasn’t just a fight.

This was a battle that would decide the fate of Gu Du City.

And at the center of it—

Only one person stood against an Immortal Beast.
