Chapter 1166 -476: Kill Level 5 Again – Part 2

Facing the attack of these mutated plants, Lightning would dodge if he could, and if not, he’d just tough it out. With his current physical condition and HP, even if he were attacked by a large number of Tier-Five Elites, he wouldn’t flinch.

Wang Tao, seeing that Lightning was not in danger, finally set his mind at ease.

Lightning’s combat power was clearly not that of an ordinary Level 4, Lord. He was evidently higher than the Tier-Five Elite, probably only slightly inferior to a Level 5, Lord, maybe even on par!

Truly, as a growth type Awakener, ascending to his current situation, fighting above his level was hardly an issue.

With a sigh in his heart, Wang Tao didn’t bother with Lightning anymore and focused on dealing with the mutated plants in front of him.

But just then, Lightning suddenly cried out.

Wang Tao also felt the sensation of being watched, and he immediately looked in the direction of the feeling, spotting a thicker, bigger mutated tendril in his field of view.

[HP: 500,000/500,000]

[Mana: 300,000/300,000]

[Level: Level 5, Lord]

[Awakening: Resilience]

[Resilience: All basic attributes increased, strength, defense significantly enhanced]

This was a systemic type of mutated plant, possessing a whopping half a million in HP, the most Wang Tao had ever seen in a monster.

However, it wasn’t a big problem. Wang Tao quickly slew two other mutated tendrils nearby and then said to Lightning:

“I’ll leave the rest to you, I’m going to kill it!”

“Woof~” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Whoosh—

Wang Tao immediately rushed towards the tendril lord, sprinting as a fierce fiery flame ignited around him. From his recent tests in battles, Wang Tao knew that fire attribute attacks had bonuses against wood attributes!

At the same time, two high-temperature rays hit the tendril lord even faster than Wang Tao could.

[-10132]

[-10224]

[-10511]

[…]

A series of damage numbers appeared above the tendril lord’s head.

This tendril lord, like the previous awakened mutated tree roots, was a high-body, high-attack, high-defense type.

For others, such an opponent might present a considerable challenge, best handled by long-range sniping. But not for Wang Tao; he went right up to the tendril lord and engaged in close combat!

The tendril lord seemed a bit angry; it let out a strange cry from somewhere and then thrashed its body, sending wave after wave of tendrils at Wang Tao.

But these tendrils, landing on Wang Tao, were almost immediately burnt to cinders, hardly impeding his steps.

Wang Tao quickly got close to the tendril lord and then raised his long saber, which burned with both red and black flames, and slashed down on the tendril lord.

[-12289]

[-1228]

[…]

[Curse: Burning]

[-2382]

[…]

As Wang Tao’s saber came down, a pile of damage numbers sprang up instantly.

Although the damage from the blows after the first was not high, the sight was thrilling, and all the damage added up to about thirty thousand!

The tendril lord in pain twisted its body and coiled towards Wang Tao.

Given its level and size, if Wang Tao were entangled, even with defensive equipment and the value of Starfire Prairie, he could still be injured.

With no healer nearby, Wang Tao naturally couldn’t afford a tactic that traded injury for injury, so he immediately retreated, evading the tendril lord’s attack. Simultaneously, high-temperature red rays shot from his eyes, hitting the tendril lord, and once more, a string of damage numbers emerged.

Boom—

The tendril lord hated the scent of flames, it immediately dodged the high-temperature rays while also smashing the surrounding rock walls, causing countless rocks to fall like an earthquake.

Wang Tao agilely dodged the falling rocks while seeking opportune moments, rushing towards the tendril lord again.

But just at that moment, alarms went off in Wang Tao’s mind, and he forcibly stopped his advance.

And just as he stopped, a very slender tendril shot out from the rubble under his feet, straight towards the ceiling, piercing into the high ceiling overhead, forming a long vertical line.

“Damn, sneaky bastard!”

Wang Tao had not noticed this tendril before; it must have been lying in ambush underground.

He wasn’t adept at defense, wearing the flexible but not highly defensive Night Demon Set, nor was he a System Awakener.

This slender tendril could pierce even the ceiling, even if just slightly, which meant its attack power was somewhat higher than the momentary burst of the [Scorching Eyes].

If he were to be stabbed by it, even though it wouldn’t pierce from his tailbone up to the top of his head, it would certainly stab into his tailbone…

Just thinking of that scenario, Wang Tao shivered.

The flames on his body instantly became much hotter, scorching the surrounding stones black. Then, he pushed off with his right leg, cracking the ground, and like a cannonball, he smashed onto the Tendril Lord.

Boom—

The flames erupted, and the massive form of the tendril was smashed back, shattering a lot of stones. Some nearby Tier-Five Elite tendrils were even directly ignited by the flames, and a large number of damage numbers appeared.

With his body burning with fiery flames, Wang Tao pulled out the long sword that had pierced the Tendril Lord’s body and unleashed a wild barrage of slashes at it.

The Tendril Lord twisted its body like a snake, trying to throw Wang Tao off. But Wang Tao clung tightly to its body, chopping at it over and over again.

By the time the Tendril Lord finally managed to throw Wang Tao off, it had less than half of its body left, and a lot of negative statuses appeared above its head:

[Scorching]

[Bleeding]

[Curse: Armor Break]

[Curse: Burning]

[Curse: Blindness]

Hiss—

The Tendril Lord let out another strange cry, and from the debris around, several of the previously sneaky, slender tendrils emerged.

These tendrils had no HP and acted almost like the Tendril Lord’s weapons, extremely tough, and Wang Tao couldn’t cut through them.

Wang Tao didn’t need to fight them head-on since his own speed was sufficient, and with his sixth sense for danger, he could always dodge the slender tendrils’ attacks in critical moments.

This only made the Tendril Lord angrier, to the point it no longer tried to dodge Wang Tao’s attacks and simply sought to entangle him with its body.

Of course, Wang Tao didn’t want to be caught. In terms of physical conditioning, he admitted he was no match for this kind of monster. If entangled, he would lose his advantage.

Whoosh—

Again, a dual-attribute shockwave of fire and darkness shot towards the Tendril Lord.

Wang Tao was very skilled at seizing opportunities in combat. He could always find a chance to take down the Tendril Lord, and the monster rarely hit him, which was another reason for its frustration.

Bang!

After the dual-attribute shockwave hit the Tendril Lord, its [Curse: Burning] status disappeared, replaced by [Curse: Slaying].

“Eh?”

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.

The Tendril Lord initially had a total of five hundred thousand HP, and the Slaying Curse could kill twenty percent of the total HP, amounting to one hundred thousand. But now, it still had two hundred and ten thousand HP left!

So—

Cloaked in flames, Wang Tao immediately sprung forward, reaching the Tendril Lord in a blink.

He held his sword with one hand, blade pointed downwards. His fiery eyes locked on the Tendril Lord.

“Sorry, but this ends now.”

Hellfire!

Whoosh—

The body of the Tendril Lord suddenly stiffened, as a multitude of flaming patterns slowly emerged on its dusky hide.

[-122837]

First, a terrifying number of one hundred twenty-two thousand floated up from the Tendril Lord.

[-90374]

Soon after, a ninety thousand damage number appeared.

[0/500000]

The Tendril Lord’s HP instantly dropped to zero, and it collapsed thunderously.

Facing a Tier-Five Lord with five hundred thousand HP and yet dealing two hundred thousand damage in an instant made Wang Tao feel incredibly refreshed.

With the Lord’s death, the momentum of the surrounding elites weakened significantly.

Wang Tao, along with lightning, quickly cleared the remaining tendrils and then finally had the chance to check the spoils of war.

“Hmm?”

Wang Tao noticed, not far behind the Tendril Lord among the debris, another treasure chest.

“Killing a monster yields a treasure chest? Isn’t this just delightful…”
