Chapter 45: Do You Know What Kiting Is?

Amidst the flames, a series of damage values popped up above the head of the sutured monster, Bato.

Necromancers were indeed the best at long-range attacks.

Unfortunately, after this round, Favis did not have that many mana points left.

At this moment, Zong Shen’s crossbow bolts and the short spears of the three Wolf Cavalry soldiers also struck the sutured monster.

[-12]

[-12]

[-12]

[-34]

Three damage values appeared.

Compared to the two necromancers, these attacks were pitifully weak.

This was especially true for the three Wolf Cavalry soldiers. After their throwing damage was reduced by the armor, it only dealt a pitiful 12 points damage.

But it was better than nothing.

After this salvo…

There was no need for Zong Shen to say anything else. Everyone collectively ran back into the corridor.

Including Zong Shen himself.

All of them ran back into the corridor and then began to crazily throw stones, discarded iron bars, discarded bed frames, and other miscellaneous items up the stairs.

The seven of them worked hard together.

Soon, the stairs were blocked.

Then, they quickly moved to the middle of the hallway and stopped about 20 meters away from the stairs.

They quietly waited for the opportunity for a second wave of attacks.

At that moment, the sutured monster’s fat body staggered down.

Faced with obstacles blocking his way, he appeared very confused.

He tried pushing with his body but to no avail.

His two arms raised his huge butcher knife.

He then started hacking at the obstacles.

It was like chopping vegetables.

In just half a minute, all the obstacles were chopped into pieces.

He hobbled down the stairs.

Zong Shen finally realized that this guy had no emotions and willpower and only had a pure killing instinct.

The moment he stepped onto the aisle.

The second round of long-range attacks came crashing down.

Tasya had plenty of mana points, so she still used the powerful Double Undead Arrows that consumed a lot of mana points.

Favis did not have many mana points left, so he could only use the Small Fireball with lower mana consumption.

Unfortunately, the Wolf Cavalry soldiers’ control skill – Casting Web – was still under cooldown.

Otherwise, they would be able to root the opponent in his original spot and use a more lasting Fire Rain skill to attack.

A large number of damage values appeared above its head.

After the second wave of attacks ended, everyone retreated again. This time, they returned to the prayer room.

Zong Shen turned around and closed the rune iron door.

Zong Shen had a key to this rune door, but that fellow didn’t!

As soon as the rune door closed, it shimmered with the light of the rune, making it look indestructible.

Zong Shen held the key in his hand.

A smile appeared on his face.

He slowly retreated.

These two waves of wandering attacks took away two-thirds of the sutured monster’s health points.

Now, the sutured monster only had about 274 health points left.

As long as the two necromancers were ready, another wave of attacks could send the sutured monster away.

Zong Shen could already taste the sweetness of having necromancers in his army.

The necromancers had high damage output and mana points, so they were like mobile cannons.

At this moment, the sutured monster also staggered to the rune iron gate.

He raised his butcher knife with both hands and slashed at the rune door.

The runes on the metal door flickered continuously.

But Zong Shen was very calm.

He moved a few chairs that weren’t too broken into the prayer room.

He casually sat down and crossed his legs.

At the same time, he made Tasya, Favis, and Iron Pole sit down to watch the show.

Especially the two precious necromancers.

They sat on the chair, closed their eyes, and began to enter a meditative state to quickly recover their mana points.

Zong Shen almost stood up to serve the two of them personally.

Both Favis and Tasya had the skill Mana Amplification.

After entering a meditative state, they could recover 33 mana points in a minute.

As long as the rune gate could stall for more than a minute, Favis could accumulate enough magic to launch another Exploding Fireball.

At that time, another wave of magic attacks would be enough to kill the sutured monster.

Then, he would use his hunting crossbow to deliver the final blow.

Perfect!

Although Zong Shen did not have any special moves.

But he was quick-witted and smart.

Moreover, he had a lot of gaming experience.

As Iron Pole at the side did not have any skills for long-range attacks, he could only follow along with the others.

At this moment, he was filled with extreme admiration towards Zong Shen.

The blue-grade Captain-rank sutured monster had lost more than two-thirds of its health points so easily.

His Lord was too powerful!

Iron Pole looked at Zong Shen with stars almost filling his eyes.

“My Lord, I can’t believe that we can actually deal with a powerful Captain-rank monster!”

Iron Pole could not help but say.

Zong Shen curled his lips nonchalantly.

“Do you know what kiting is?”

“It’s just a common skill to have, very common.”

Taking advantage of the terrain and kiting, aren’t these very common for us gamers?

Zong Shen thought nothing of it.

Furthermore, his plan was only successful so far because he had sufficient troops.

He had three Wolf Cavalry Soldiers, an Assassin, and himself, who was barely qualified to be a Warrior.

There were five close-combat fighters and two powerful necromancers.

They had basically formed a perfect battle team.

It was a rather extravagant battle team.

As long as they were not stubborn and unyielding, they would be safe without losing anything.

A minute later…

The runes on the Rune Iron Door gradually dimmed.

It began to creak under the strain of the sutured monster’s continuous attack.

It seemed like it wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer.

Favis opened his eyes. “My Lord, I’ve recovered 50 Mana Points.” He reported to Zong Shen.

“Very good. Iron Pole, take the key, open the door, and let that mad dog in!”

“You throw a short spear too, Arvid.”

“Cooperate with the necromancers and attack.”

“Everyone else, don’t move. Be on guard!”

Zong Shen threw the key of the rune iron door into the hands of Iron Pole.

At the same time, he loaded the hunting crossbow.

“Prepare yourselves for the final fight!”

Iron Pole received the key and ran to the door.

At this moment, the rune iron door was about to break open.

Iron Pole used the key to open the door and nimbly merged into the shadows.

The door was suddenly pushed open.

The sutured monster walked in quickly.

There was no need for Zong Shen to shout. In the next moment, the attacks from his side covered the monster like raindrops.

“Boom!”

“Rumble!”

“Swish!”

Accompanied by Tasya and Favis’s magic attacks, Arvid threw his short spear.

After a series of damage, Bato was left with dregs of his previous health points.

But he still fearlessly walked towards Zong Shen.

“It’s time for the last hit.”

“Die!”

“Bang!”

After a loud bang.

The string of the hunting crossbow pushed the bolt out.

It struck the sutured monster’s huge body.

[-33]

The final damage value flashed.

Sutured Monster Bato transformed into a ball of white light and collapsed to the ground.

The white lights gradually disintegrated into five or six different clusters of light and lay quietly on the ground!

Zong Shen put away the hunting crossbow and revealed a smug smile..
