Chapter 187: Chapter 168: The Feasibility of a Death Ritual Bird Dying from a Fall?_2

But this leads directly to the warehouse. At the end, you can still faintly hear Father Gascoin’s panting, no need to risk fighting the Monsters outside.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both paths, it all comes down to personal choice.

Luluwo quietly opened the manhole cover, and there they were, appearing behind the priest.

This position could be used for a sneak attack!

And...

Luluwo looked around, the sewer’s location wasn’t far from where they last pinned the priest at the tombstone, they could still have a chance to escape after the sneak attack.

This spot is perfect!

At this very moment, in the adventurer’s eyes, there were red dots appearing behind the priest.

A few seconds went by.

"Boom boom!"

Because of the sneak attack, the beast-transformed priest, enraged, was chasing the adventurers.

This time, Luluwo certainly wouldn’t foolishly hand over a weapon to someone else; she was in great shape and could take on the priest alone.

But in order to create a strategy guide, she had to slow down the fight’s pace and figure out the enemy’s combat style, and if possible, make a note of his attacking habits.

The beast-transformed priest retained a straightforward charging attack but no longer used weapons, switching to a combat style involving wildly scratching with its claws, even more ferocious.

Luluwo noticed that the opponent would charge two or three times in succession, so she led him to crash into tombstones.

"Thud!"

A loud noise, the tombstone shattered, but the priest was also left half kneeling on the ground, wobbling, and in his dazed state, the adventurers had enough time to deal with him.

"Guiding him into charging the tombstone and causing a concussion is something to take note of."

The experiment continued.

"After transforming, the priest’s moves are quick and fierce, using a shield to block is not recommended, it’s better to circle around him."

"I wonder if mind control for beasts works on him, Em try it...okay, it doesn’t work."

"Splash some oil on him, I want to see if he will slip."

Gradually, a combat strategy centered around using tombstones to stop his charges was proposed, and it was quite useful in the fight against the beast-transformed priest.

Specifically, it meant waiting for the priest to dash and collide with a tombstone, leaving a big opening and attack him while he’s staggered; any agile adventurer should be able to pull it off.

But the priest wasn’t foolish. After crashing into tombstones two or three times, he would come to his senses and no longer fall for the same trick.

So, this method could be used at most three times; if the priest isn’t defeated after that, they would have to rely on their terrain advantage and slowly whittle him down.

Overall, even with the strategy, beginners would hardly stand a chance of passing through, at least not without some combat experience.

Luluwo and her team had done well enough, the value of their strategy guide was greater than they had expected.

The graveyard area was still at the map exploration stage, with not many people creating strategies for bosses or Elite Monsters, especially not for a side quest Elite Monster like the Warrior Pot event.

But the rewards for the Warrior Pot event were really good, hence the high demand for the priest’s strategy.

The beast’s body crashed to the ground, Father Gascoin ultimately fell at the hands of the despicable outsiders.

Luluwo took the Wei Pot Material, handed it over to the Warrior Pot, and received Warrior Pot shards, and along the way, tossed the last Flower Field Magic Scroll at the Pot settlement.

Unexpectedly, although she didn’t interact much with the Big Pot and Little Pot this time, she received a [Friendly Pot] from the Warrior Pot before leaving.

Watching the Pots come out collectively to see her off, Luluwo awkwardly turned her head away and uttered a classic tsundere line:

"I-it’s not like I wanted to be on good terms with you guys."

The gloom in her heart cleared away, and she happily hung the Friendly Pot in the most conspicuous spot on her chest, only taking it off when entering the Death Knight BOSS room to start the battle.

The Death Knight fell, the start of the Tomb Room passage; this path once brought them a nightmarish torment, just standing here made one’s legs feel weak.

This time, they chose to hold up torches, constantly vigilant of the possible appearance of crawlers in the darkness.

However...

"Is it coming out?" Mila said in disbelief.

Just like that, without any risk or even seeing a shadow of a Monster, they made it out!

It turned out that simply holding a torch all the way ensured safety...

At that instant, they felt so silly for not heeding the advice before.

The tunnel ascends all the way up, Luluwo observes the surroundings, feeling a sense of familiarity.

Ahead lies an open clearing, with a steep precipice on the edge where one false step would mean shattering bones and death.

Wait, isn’t this the place!

By the time Luluwo realizes, the aura of death descends over the clearing, a veil of darkness covering the sky, and within that darkness, a deformed and twisted figure slowly emerges.

A gaunt body akin to a skeleton, a head resembling that of a baby, and wings merged with countless dead...

The Death Ritual Bird majestically enters the stage!

The members of the New Strategy Group are stunned. How could there be a direct connection from the Death Knight to the ultimate boss?

Isn’t this shortcut a bit too convenient?

They only defeated the Death Knight, so they face the Death Ritual Bird weakened by a third.

However, there are actually two challenge modes to choose from.

Two stone tablets stand in front, with the inscriptions:

[Challenge the Death Ritual Bird surrounded by death]

[Challenge the Death Ritual Bird wrapped in death]

Translated into human language, that means:

[Fight consecutively against the Call Ship, Death Knight, Sub-human Swordsmen, and finally challenge the Death Ritual Bird weakened thrice]

[Challenge the Death Ritual Bird that has fused the power of three Elite Monsters]

If the elite monsters have been defeated in previous explorations, there is no need to fight them in the first consecutive battles, and the Death Bird can also be weakened in the second option.

"Shall we fight?"

"We’ve come this far."

The New Strategy Group charges!

The New Strategy Group rushes forward!

The New Strategy Group... gets instant-killed by the Spiritual Fire!

Only Luluwo escapes!

Luluwo feels a swear word stuck in her throat unable to come out, one of her arms scorched by the Spiritual Fire, turned into a strange color, immobile.

They had fought the Death Ritual Bird once before, fighting one that was weakened twice, and that battle was quite a lengthy one.

It seemed that being weakened once or twice didn’t make much of a difference?

Underestimating the enemy led to their instant defeat by the Spiritual Fire blast to the face.

Luluwo struggles vigorously but can’t hold on for long, she’s sent flying by a strike from above with stick technique, breaking numerous bones.

She is dying, but still in her final moments.

Just then, her eyes suddenly fixate ahead.

Because the Death Ritual Bird, it made a Sky Flying Dash to the edge of the clearing! Half of its body hanging in the air!

Luluwo’s breathing becomes heavy, if, if it could fall off...

Sadly, the Death Ritual Bird flutters its wings, struggling to fly, but also distancing itself from the cliff edge.

Trying to knock off a bird still seemed somewhat abstract.

"So it really won’t work."

Amidst her disappointment, Luluwo breathes her last.

Her figure once again appears near the campfire, her previously dead companions already waiting there.

"What do we do next, captain?" Berto asks.

Luluwo is contemplating; she thinks of the Death Ritual Bird’s long-distance dive and that bottomless precipice.

Let’s give it a try, what if it works?

"Let’s move out," Luluwo says: "Target, the Death Ritual Bird."
