Chapter 20 - Shadow

The defected pet!

When he saw the mission target, Luke was also stunned.

This thing is so different from what I saw in my previous life.

If the wolf in front of him is a giant wolf, the one in the previous life was at most a small husky, and its blood volume was not so exaggerated. This is the difference between an ordinary monster and an elite template.

It's normal to think about it. In order to allow players who enter the game later to quickly catch up with the main force, the game has continuously weakened the difficulty of low-level tasks during several updates. By the time Luke enters the game, the rebellious pet can be killed at will.

"Hello, are you in a group?" It was difficult to fight alone, and there were other people here, so Luke asked casually.

"But, but my brother... is dead," the girl frowned slightly, her eyes full of tears.

"It's just a game. Your brother is alive and well. He will be here soon." Luke threw over a team application, and the next moment it was confirmed by a player named "Lixian". He looked at the other player in the team, Sayu, and it turned out to be the beautiful girl in front of him.

Who would have thought that this timid little girl would become a top pastor in the future.

"Please help me look after my sister, I'll be there soon," Lixian was the player who was trampled to death just now.

It is not a big problem for three people to team up to deal with an elite monster.

"Yu, you are a mage, so just go all out after I kill the monsters. Sayu, you can heal me when I ask you to," after chatting for a few sentences, Luke began to give orders without any hesitation.

"Don't call me Yu," the mage hated this kind of familiarity.

"Okay, Yu, get ready," Luke sneaked up behind the monster and stunned the giant wolf with a sneak attack. Lixian also started to attack.

Lixian obviously has never been to a dungeon or fought elite monsters. He has no bronze weapons and his damage is pitifully low.

"The damage is so high, did you use some kind of cheat?" Seeing that his skill attack was not even as good as the other person's normal attack, Lixian became uneasy.

"Give me 1 gold coin and I'll sell you the cheat. Do you want it?"

"One... Just one gold coin?" Lixian was very disappointed. If Luke asked for a higher price, he would still believe in the existence of such a thing as a plug-in. One gold coin? Forget it.

System: Backstab skill completion rate is 65%, causing 72% weapon damage.

Luke successfully used the new skill, but unfortunately the effect was mediocre and the damage was only over twenty points.

Looking at the combo points that have always been at full value, he sighed silently in his heart. The rogue has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes after level 5, but if there is one thing that truly determines whether the rogue can rank among the top output, it must be the finishing move.

Finishing moves consume combo points and cause great damage to the target. The output of the rogue mainly depends on the power of the finishing move.

To put it bluntly, as long as Luke now has a finishing move, it would be no problem to instantly kill a white-clad mage like Lixian , and he doesn't even need a critical hit.

"Add blood!" Luke ordered.

"But, but you didn't lose any blood," Sayu looked confused.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Luke's health bar suddenly dropped by more than half. He hurriedly swiped it three times before he could raise the health bar back up.

Luke was not angry, and patiently explained: "There is a common concept in healing, called prediction, which is to judge the skills of the boss and add blood before the skills are released. This wolf's attack is average and its skills are not strong. Otherwise, I would have been lying down after two consecutive attacks just now."

"No wonder, but how can we detect when a monster is about to use a skill?" Sayu seemed to love the priest profession very much. She was too shy to speak at other times, but when it came to the question of professional techniques, her little face immediately lit up.

"Generally speaking, only monsters or NPCs with elite templates are qualified to release skills. These targets are all relatively intelligent, and their movements, expressions, and language all have unique references. For example, just now, the giant wolf roared, which was longer than the average roar, which means it released a skill. And combined with its health bar, it can be seen that it is fighting desperately even though it is trapped."

"You know so much..." Sayu paused: "More than my brother knows."

Lixian looked unfriendly. Was this guy here to snatch his sister away from him?

"Study it carefully. Treatment is also a test of skill and can often determine the final outcome of a battle."

Sayu was originally only interested in the priest profession, and never thought that there was anything great about a priest who was not even wanted to join a team. After hearing what Luke said, he realized that there was a mysterious road to heaven in front of him.

Luke had no idea what kind of impact his words had on the little girl in front of him.

"The defected pet is over here, big brother, come quickly, it will be killed soon!" As the words came, several players appeared in the field of vision.

Seeing that the giant wolf's health had dropped to 20%, other players appeared unexpectedly. Lixian and Sayu's faces turned pale.

"Yu, take the giant wolf for a walk, follow your brother. I'll go kill them first," Luke took two steps back and used Shadow Escape to sneak. The BOSS's hatred immediately shifted to Lixian.

"They haven't done anything to us yet," Yu murmured softly.

"It's only a matter of time. Remember, this is a game." Luke replied in the team channel, and then he could no longer hear what he said.

The people who came were a small team, including a priest, a warlock, a hunter, a mage, and a druid, who should be the MT judging by his health.

Druids are jack of all trades, but some people choose the MT route and can fight monsters by turning into bears.

Several people approached with a smile on their faces, not taking Luke and the other two seriously at all. When they saw Luke disappear, the mage ordered the druids and hunters to surround the priest and protect him.

As long as the priest is alive, the rogue's attacks will add blood, so he is not a threat at all at the moment.

Just after finishing the arrangement, the mage noticed that something was wrong with the warlock next to him.

His eyes were dull and his head was shaking from side to side, as if he had been hit by a stick and was stunned.

Sap!

The mage immediately read the skill, preparing to release a blizzard towards the place where he and the warlock were. The area damage skill could easily force the rogue out.

Blizzard is an instant skill that only requires a gesture and can be released very quickly.

The wizard's reaction was actually pretty good, and his judgment and response were pretty standard. Unfortunately, he bumped into Luke, and just as he raised his staff, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his head.

Swish, swish, swish...

-67-82-74... A series of astonishing injuries appeared quickly. The hunter had just pulled out his arrow and the mage had already fallen to the ground.

Luke had three bronze items and two black iron items, while the mage only had one bronze item with ordinary attributes. The equipment gap was huge. Luke was one level higher than the opponent. The entire killing process was just five ordinary attacks.

After the mage fell, Luke immediately pounced on the warlock who was still in a dizzy state.

System: Shadow Strike completion rate 89%, causing 112% skill damage, the target is stunned for 2 seconds!
