"Seriously, you almost made me deaf! Suddenly, having such sensitive ears doesn’t seem like such a good thing" Ye Lan nded on the ground, clutching her furry ears with both hands.
Her hearing was ten times sharper than that of a human, which meant the pain she felt was also amplified tenfold.
Damn it! This is killing me!
Ye Lan muttered under her breath as the Drill Rat King slowly rose from the ground. Above its head, its health bar started to recover.
[Skill Activated: Ultra Constitution]
Ultra Constitution: A continuous Hp regeneration skill. It was common among humans but extremely rare among the beastkin race.This was because low-level beastkin couldn’t acquire this ability, and those of noble lineage considered it beneath them to use such a skill.
Recovering 1% of HP every 10 seconds was a problem that required devastating-level attacks to overcome.
Ye Lan clenched her fists tightly, the sound of cracking knuckles echoing. Her eyes turned red as she activated [Blood Armor].
In an instant, all her stats surged, and her attack value soared to an impressive 2,000 points.
Ye Lan held a crimson scythe in her hand, with red vapor emanating from her entire body.
[Teleportation]
Whoosh!
In an instant, her figure vanished, only to reappear directly in front of the Drill Rat King’s face. The monster froze in confusion, but Ye Lan wasted no time. Without hesitation, she swung her scythe mercilessly.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
A dozen crimson sshes tore through the Drill Rat King’s massive body. Its health bar began to plummet at an arming rate.
-1500 HP-1500 HP-3000 HP (Critical Hit!)...
The Drill Rat King roared furiously, and the fur on its body hardened as if it had become armor. The resulting shockwave sent Ye Lan’s small frame flying through the air.
Boom!
Ye Lan’s smmed into the wall of a nearby building. Before Ye Lan could recover, the Drill Rat King raised its enormous cw and swung it directly toward her.
[Teleportation]
Ye Lan’s eyes gleamed, and in an instant, her figure disappeared, reappearing on the Drill Rat King’s shoulder. Despite its enormous size, its reflexes weren’t bad. It immediately turned its head toward her. Ye Lan fshed a mischievous smile and gave the creature a wink.
[Charm]
This was a skill Ye Lan rarely used because... well, it was a bit embarrassing. However, it was undeniably effective. The Rat King’s fierce eyes softened, and tiny peach blossoms seemed to float in its pupils.
Ye Lan leapt gracefully into the air. Concentrating all her magical energy into one hand, she formed a water cannon, channeling the power of 10 full units of magic, her most devastating attack.
"Take this full-powered hit!"
An attack with 10 units of magic wasn’t just a simple sum of 1+1=2, its power multiplied exponentially.
Bang!
The water cannon struck the Rat King directly in the face. At that moment, not only did it regain its crity after the [Charm] effect, but it also felt the sting of humiliation.
[Dust Explosion]
The Rat King unleashed its ultimate skill. A massive dust storm erupted from its body, expanding outward in an unstoppable wave of destruction.
Nearby buildings began colpsing, unable to withstand the magnitude of the destruction. Meanwhile, Ye Lan could barely maintain her bance as her body slid across the ground, struggling to get closer to the Rat King.
"Damn it! The duration of [Blood Armor] is about to run out! I need to finish this guy off now!" Ye Lan jumped again, only to be pulled directly into the heart of the dust storm.
"She’s insane! How does she pn to survive a skill like that? Once someone dies, that’s it… Hmm… wait, if a human dies, it’s the end… but what about beastkin?" From a distance, General Ironblood, clinging to a metal column and being dragged by the winds, muttered in confusion.
Meanwhile, Ye Lan had entered the outer limits of the storm. The relentless gusts smmed into her with incredible force, each blow steadily chipping away at her HP.
-10 HP!-10 HP!-10 HP!...
In mere seconds, she had lost nearly a hundred HP. Even with [Blood Armor] active, her total health barely reached ten thousand, this couldn’t continue!
Ye Lan gritted her teeth, gripped her crimson scythe tightly, and pushed forward against the powerful winds. As she drew closer to the Rat King, she unleashed all her strength and delivered two ferocious sshes with her weapon.
"Damn… die!"
Swish!
Ye Lan unleashed two powerful cross-sshes, far more powerful than before, directly striking the Drill Rat King’s body. The monster staggered back several steps before colpsing to the ground.
Ye Lan nded heavily, gasping for breath. Her body was exhausted after the final assault. In the process, she had lost around three to four hundred HP. However, it wasn’t too serious, the Rat King in front of her wasn’t that strong. It was only slightly stronger than the level 31 demonic species she had fought before.
Deactivating [Blood Armor], her health bar dropped back to its usual 4000 points. In front of her, the Rat King y sprawled on the ground, heaving as it clung to life with just a single HP remaining.
"It must be some kind of survival skill… something like [Beastkin’s Never Be Sves]. But this is the end for you, my gigantic bundle of experience. Here I come~!" With a confident smile, Ye Lan began approaching the dying monster.
Suddenly, two overwhelming, suffocating auras exploded onto the scene, freezing everyone in pce, everyone except Ye Lan.
Confused, she turned toward the source of the presences, only to see the two figures rushing past her like a whirlwind, heading straight for the Drill Rat King.
"How dare you attack the honorable priestess?! This rat is begging for death!"
“This old ox can’t tolerate this! Hey, old horse, can you?”
"Are you kidding? Bring out the weapons!"
Two overwhelming presences loomed over the Drill Rat King, which y sprawled on the ground, staring at the newcomers with an expression of despair and resignation.
Friends, look closely! I’m the one being attacked here!
In an instant, a scene unfolded that no one would ever want to expin to children. From a distance, Ye Lan watched the whole thing, witnessing a terrifying and incomprehensible phenomenon.
-100/5000!-1000/5000!-8888/5000!
"What the hell?! Can health bars even go into negative numbers?!"
In the blink of an eye, the Drill Rat King was utterly annihited, losing every st trace of life. Ye Lan couldn’t help but cover her eyes. On one hand, she felt an odd pang of sympathy for the monster. On the other, a heartbreaking pain at having lost her boss. It only had one HP left!
How is it possible that you, being so strong, still stole my boss?! This is too much! You’re bullies! Waaah!
While Ye Lan was drowning in her frustration, the two culprits responsible for the 'theft' approached her with respectful smiles. Without hesitation, both knelt before her, bowed deeply.
“Honorable Priestess! At st, we have found you! Please return with us to the country and accept your rightful pce as the successor of the sanctuary” said the bull-headed and horse-headed duo, their faces filled with solemnity.
For some reason, despite the massive disparity in levels, Ye Lan could clearly discern the levels of the two individuals before her.
Level 82... Level 83...
Father-level!1I still don’t understand this part( chinese: 爸爸级啊). After further research, I’ll update the chapter with the correct text if this one isn’t accurate...
"Uh… What priestess are you talking about? I... can... can I refuse?" Ye Lan asked timidly, awkwardly scratching her cheek awkwardly while stammering.
At that moment, the atmosphere shifted instantly. The pressure emanating from the two in front of her made her swallow nervously, thinking she was already doomed…
To her surprise, the two figures threw themselves at her feet, clutching them desperately as they sobbed.
"Priestess! Please, we beg you! If you don’t return, we’re finished! We’ll do anything for you—anything! We’ll even be your literal bull and horse!"
Huh? What? Excuse me? Is this how this script was supposed to go?
Ye Lan stood there completely bewildered, frozen in pce…
