Chapter 193: Chapter 192: Shooting in Loneliness (Please Subscribe)

"Impossible!" The Sun King couldn’t believe it. Why wasn’t the Bone Dragon attacking Li Changhe? Was it going to betray him?

Impossible, the Bone Dragon was the Sun King’s trump card. The Sun King had expended countless sacrifices to unearth it little by little from other dimensions to ensure his victory.

The Sun King had personally calibrated its will, ensuring that it obeyed him with nothing short of absolute loyalty.

If it were the Grand Priest and Tudah betraying him, the Sun King wouldn’t be surprised. After all, they still retained their consciousness from when they were alive, naturally, they wouldn’t willingly serve him.

But the Bone Dragon...

The purple glow in the Bone Dragon’s eyes dimmed and brightened intermittently. Naturally, it didn’t want to be controlled by Li Changhe.

However, while attacking Li Changhe, Li Changhe stepped on the Bone Dragon’s claw.

The limbs of the Bone Dragon were exceptionally stiff.

[Riding A]

If he could ride a Tingdaros Hound, riding a remnant transformed into an undead after death wouldn’t be too difficult.

Of course, like riding a hunting dog, when Li Changhe stepped on the Bone Dragon’s claw, he too was influenced by the power of the Bone Dragon.

[Undead Death Curse Immune State] activated!

Activated!

Activated!

The [Status] in his mind was constantly pulsating. Had it not been for the ’character’s’ curse immunity, Li Changhe might have died at the moment he touched the Bone Dragon.

Li Changhe took a deep breath, suppressing the intense pain that was coming from all over his body, and pulled out the [Abyss Whisper] Mechanical Bow.

The Sun King was very powerful, inflicting severe injuries on Li Changhe with a single blow. But because of this, he had put himself at a dead end.

[Revenge Counterattack: At this moment, the injury amplification is 120%]

This was the reward Li Changhe won after completing the [Periodic Task: Sea Clan Invasion], and he had always despised it.

Because it was a trait which would strengthen attack damage after injury. If he wasn’t careful and got killed instead, it would be quite embarrassing.

But now, it became the hope to break the impasse.

The two evolution points from the [Achievement][Retreat the Hunting Dog] reward were all added to [Revenge Counterattack].

The theoretical maximum power of the counterattack is 300%. Unless a [Player] like He Feng who can be immune to death damage exists, no one should be able to reach this limit.

Li Changhe was finding it almost impossible to pull his bow at only 120%. If it were 200%, he’d probably have to be cut in half. 300... wasn’t even a consideration.

Li Changhe’s plan did not seem complicated now.

The main objectives were threefold: to get close to the Sun King, assassinate the Sun King, and weaken the Sun King’s defenses.

Kill him with one arrow.

The problem was, apart from Li Changhe who could hide his aura and TianTong who could perform high-speed slashes.

The long-range attacks of other [Players] would be blocked by the bone gate.

The chances of Li Changhe assassinating the Sun King were slim. After all, this was a monster that had been preparing for centuries.

Even [Boss Lead] might not be able to break through his defense in one go.

If he couldn’t assassinate the Sun King, he could turn it around and use the taunting ability of [Tolling Bell] to attract the Sun King’s attention, while stacking up the damage of [Revenge Counterattack].

The Moon God would use his [Noon Killing Order] and his wooden club.

[Firewood]

[Type: Accessory]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect 1: Enhances attack distance, consumes 10% energy]

[Effect 2: Attack will carry fire-type Mysterious System damage]

[Effect 3: The target damaged will suffer continuous burning damage]

[Note: Who said I can’t fight from a distance?]

And because of the effect of [Revenge Counterattack], the Sun King could not summon the bone gate to block the Moon God’s long-range attacks. He was forced to trigger the defense on his robe.

And so... the fifth step of the plan was completed.

The Sun King felt the astonishing power burst from the bow and arrow in Li Changhe’s hands.

"Insects! Daring to pull me down from my divine pedestal!" he roared, and five bone gates appeared before him in an instant.

At the same time, the bone ashes beside him began to converge, as if summoning some horrible ghost. His strength was no longer being held back; he no longer deluded himself concerning the possibility of escaping the plot with [Player] body. He was under a deadly threat right now!

"Useless. You’ve been hit by [Boss Lead], and weakened by Moon God. You won’t be able to fend it off," Li Changhe exhaled, and let go of the bowstring.

At the same time, all of Li Changhe’s attributes dropped. He activated the effect 3 of the [Abyss Whisper].

["Hunting Dog Stare" high-level attack boost, releasing the most potent arrow. The attack will disregard all physical resistances.]

[Negative side effect: using this effect decreases all attributes by 1 point.]

[Hundred-Headed Shooter] enhances long-range attack damage.

The [Abyss Whisper] naturally enhances long-range damage.

["Hunting Dog Stare"] delivers a high-level attack enhancement. The cost is a decrease of 1 point in all attributes, lasting for 24 hours.

["Revenge Counterattack"] boosts 120% of attack damage once. The cost is that Li Changhe is struggling even to stand up now.

After being enhanced by four different effects, Li Changhe’s arrow could compete with the [Lightning Sword] of Hailing Mountain!

It seemed as though all sounds and lights in the tomb chamber vanished, and all that could be seen were three red eyes lighting up in the darkness. It was as though some monster was awakening from the dark.

The next second, the sound of an arrow piercing through the air filled the entire tomb chamber. Wherever the arrow passed, the ground was torn apart.

The three arrows, as if being propelled by three abysses, pierced towards the Sun King.

The bone gates, which had been a headache for the [Players], were shattered without having any effect.

"Crack"

The glow of the robe, which the Sun King had expected to provide help, shattered instantly.

"No! Just one step away, only one step away!" Cries of despair from the Sun King echoed as half of the bronze mask on his face was blasted off, revealing his hopeless expression.

At the same time, the armoured guards outside the altar that were fighting with the assassins suddenly felt the ground shake violently.

Their revered Sun King altar, exploded and gradually crumbled.

The citizens of the Sun Kingdom were stunned, as were the armoured guards. Their faith crumbled along with the altar.

The Sun King, who had protected the Sun Kingdom for nearly a century... lost!

Among the assassins, someone whispered, "The time to strike... is now!" and a towering figure vanished in a flash.

Inside the ancient tomb.

Li Changhe was blown away by the massive airflow and crashed heavily into the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, the blood trickling down from the bronze mask.

"Damn it!" Li Changhe muttered under his breath, the decrease in all attributes made him feel exceptionally weak.

The prompt for [Task Complete] did not pop up. The bone dragon also remained frozen in place.

Did the Sun King survive that arrow? Impossible! When Li Changhe was blown away, he had clearly seen the Sun King’s skull getting shattered.

This was the most powerful attack involving mysterious-type damage. Undead units wouldn’t have survived an attack of this kind.

"Can any of you check his condition for me?" Li Changhe shouted with all his strength.

"His corpse has been shattered," Dark Night Wood was relatively fine. As she dragged Li Changhe backwards, she looked around.

He shouldn’t still be alive. Li Changhe’s most potent arrow had penetrated the tomb chamber, leaving a long, deep trench in the ground that had even caused a landslide.

This power left all the [Players] astonished. It was enough to rival a [Holder]. Nobody could survive this attack.

If he was still alive, they would indeed be out of options. The only one left able to fight now was Dark Night Wood.

Moon God severely injured, Tiantong severely injured.

Li Changhe severely injured and half-disabled, Dew greatly exhausted.

"Besides the bone dragon in the tomb, there are no other units." After Dark Night Wood said this, the [Players]’ expressions changed several seconds later.

No... there was another enemy... an enemy that had always been there! The [Players] had overlooked him.

The Grand Priest!

"Ha... ha..." From the hollow abdomen of the bone dragon, an old laugh out:"Close call... I was almost dead. It even consumed the power I accumulated over a century! But... I still won!"

The Grand Priest, wearing half of the Sun King’s bronze mask, slowly crawled out from the abdomen of the bone dragon.

To be precise... it was the Sun King!

"So the true entity was the half-face mask?" Li Changhe sighed, "So did I just waste my shot?"
