Chapter 625: The Body Becos Smaller
After leveling up to 30, Song Jian used the extra skill point to upgrade “Sword Silk”. The sixth level Sword Silk was more powerful, increasing the number of sword silks from three to five, and each one dealt more damage. Moreover, the attack range increased by two ters, making it even stronger.
Once Sword Silk is upgraded to level ten, it evolves into a more powerful skill: “Sword Web”. Song Jian was eagerly anticipating this advanced skill.
With only one-third of its Vitality Points remaining, the Earth Elental Lord Boss was nearing defeat. Once it’s shattered again, it would be possible to deal massive damage as it crumbled into pieces, thereby finishing off the boss.
Surging abruptly to level thirty left Song Jian feeling frantic. The system kept issuing alerts, but the Boss’s attacks were so intense that Song Jian didn’t have ti to check and could only destroy the Boss first before dealing with anything else.
With the effects of the Immortal Sword Body worn off, Song Jian could no longer face the Earth Elental Lord Boss head-on and had to navigate around its enormous body.
His long sword kept chopping at the body of the Earth Elental Lord. Previously, Song Jian was only able to reach its lower legs, but now he could slash at the thighs.
For the mont, sparks flew off the body of the Earth Elental Lord. Intense counter-impact forces kept hitting Song Jian’s right arm, but he gnashed his teeth and persistently kept slashing.
At this ti, the Black Dragon, continuously spewing Dragon Breath, suddenly extended a few phantom spider legs from the Spider Spear Armor it was wearing. Each leg, with the likeness of a spear, targeted the Earth Elental Lord’s body.
Clang, clang, clang~
The phantom spider spears kept hitting the body of the Earth Elental Lord, giving off a tallic clanking sound and leaving only superficial marks but not even a small dent.
A series of “-1” floated above the head of the Earth Elental Lord Boss, and its defense wasn’t breached.
Although the Spider Spear Armor is a silver-grade piece of equipnt, its level is too low, just level 15. The spider spear attack it triggered inflicted almost no damage on the Earth Elental Lord Boss, but inexplicably drew its aggro. The Earth Elental Lord, which had fist clenched and was about to smash Song Jian, suddenly roared at the Black Dragon, locked its gaze on it, and started absorbing Earth Elental Energy from the swamp.
In just a short while, a stone ball with a diater of over one ter appeared in its right hand, and the surface of this stone ball constantly oozed foul-slling mud.
At this ti, the Black Dragon looked exhausted after casting the super-grade skill Vortex Fireball and continuously spewing Dragon Breath. In its weakened state, it failed to notice that the Earth Elental Lord Boss had shifted its attention to it.
Song Jian had a quick thought, and the mont the Earth Elental Lord took action, he put the Black Dragon into the Pet Space. The mud-covered stone ball passed through the afterimage of the Black Dragon and slamd into the distance.
After being put into the Pet Space, it would take at least ten minutes before the Black Dragon could be summoned again. Moreover, once the Black Dragon entered the Pet Space, it would fall asleep and couldn’t be counted on for the battle.
Song Jian aid at the right leg of the Earth Elental Lord and continued his relentless chopping there. Each stroke landed almost at the sa spot. When it lost track of the Black Dragon and turned to attack him, Song Jian had already chopped a three-inch-deep cut at the root of the right leg of the Earth Elental Lord.
“I refuse to believe that, without triggering the passive talent skill of the Holy Sword, I cannot hack off one of your legs!” Song Jian declared forcefully. He moved agilely around the massive body of the Earth Elental Lord, continuously dodging its attacks.
A boss of such size is naturally less agile. Using the boss’s huge body to dodge its attacks isn’t a new trick invented by Song Jian. This kind of dodging thod requires not only a high level of player perception and insight but also agility attributes that are at least one level higher than the monster.
This is like dancing on a knife’s edge, playing with a broadsword on a tightrope. A montary lapse can not only fail to dodge the boss’s attacks, but it can also lead to heavy injuries.
Most importantly, this thod is only effective against bosses like the Earth Elental Lord, which have massive bodies and lack agility.
Song Jian’s nerves were on edge. The skills of the Earth Elental Lord mainly dealt area-of-effect damage. If he wasn’t tily with his dodges, he could be affected, and most of its skills also had dizzying and slowing effects—he found it a headache.
Just as Song Jian thought that it would take him more than half an hour to sever the right leg of the Earth Elental Lord, suddenly a flash of gold flickered. With a hefty swing of his sword, he surprisingly slashed through the base of the thigh of the Earth Elental Lord without any resistance.
Song Jian’s eyes lit up—The effect of “Holy Sword” had been triggered!
Boom, boom, boom~
A thick stone leg fell, and the boss let out an angry roar. Its entire body crumbled into countless stones which were about 30 to 40 centiters in size and rolled all over the place.
Song Jian’s heart leaped with joy. A golden Sword Qi blood from his left index finger. With a sudden swipe, several stones around him shattered.
Sword Silk!
Whoosh, whoosh~
Five golden silks, each carrying a vicious Sword Qi, whipped out in all directions, shattering seven or eight stones instantly. These five golden sword silks were highly condensed Sword Qi, with a sharpness equaling the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword.
In just a matter of seconds, Song Jian shattered dozens of stones.
On the one hand, going up a level had undoubtedly made him stronger. On the other hand, the stones from the Earth Elental Lord, once it crumbled, beca even more brittle, almost no different from ordinary rocks.
Song Jian used his full strength to continuously shatter each stone. This was the Earth Elental Lord Boss’s weak point when it was crumbling into stones. It was the only ti when massive damage could be inflicted.
Otherwise, facing the Earth Elental Lord Boss, whose body was as hard as the toughest alloy in the world, Song Jian would likely need to grind for several hours to kill it.
However, in front of a Tier One Boss, it was impossible to hold out for several hours, let alone several minutes, without the Immortal Sword Body enhancent.
Ten seconds later, all the remaining stones began to gather towards the center. In no ti, they solidified into an Earth Elental Lord over three ters tall.
This height would already be considered that of a giant among humans, but compared to the Earth Elental Lord, which was previously over ten ters tall, it was rely a child.
The mont the Earth Elental Lord returned to human form, a damage reading of 1800 floated above its head.
Song Jian swung his sword, giving it a harsh slash. With a “swoosh” sound, a golden Sword Qi created a wound over three feet long and deeper than a finger at the chest of the Earth Elental Lord Boss.
“Huh, it seems its super defense has vanished after it shrunk?” Song Jian’s eyes brightened, and a smirk appeared at the corners of his mouth.
