Fatal Shot

Chapter 574: Golden Sword

There was no doubt about the strength or the might of the effect of the attached skill on a Legendary Grade item.

If it were not for the Black Eagle gloves, the shake just now would have been enough to throw White Crescent into the sea.

Since they were located at the end of the military boat, and with the Shark Turtle pursuing close behind them, if she were to fall, White Crescent might have followed in the footsteps of the previous Heavy Armor Warrior.

As a Doctor with a special healing talent, disregarding White Crescent’s combat ability, her talent in healing alone was enough to make her at least as important as some of the best combatants in the expedition team.

Moreover, they were all considered friends, sort of, which was why Feng Luo did not hesitate to lend a helping hand, leaping off the ship after White Crescent in order to save her.

As the military ship’s shaking gradually subsided, Red Queen shouted anxiously at Black Panther, who was beside her, “Black Panther, quickly! Get the rope!”

However, Feng Luo shook his head and said, “No need!”

A silver traction anchor had popped out of the special agent watch on his left hand grabbing on to the side of the military boat’s hull. The anchor quickly wrapped around a part of the military boat and quickly retracted and pulled both Feng Luo and White Crescent back to the deck of the military boat.

Just as they landed on the deck, a Heavy Armor Warrior “flew” towards them and almost pushed them off the ship again.

“Bam!”

“-14567!”

“F*ck… So strong…” The Heavy Armor Warrior who just missed Feng Luo and White Crescent and slammed into the side of the ship slowly got back on his feet while cursing.

Of course, he was not talking about Feng Luo or White Crescent, who were beside him. Instead, he was talking about the Quasi-Boss giant Sea Serpent that just sent him over with a swing of its tail, and had already taken out one-third of his HP.

At that moment, the Level 50 Quasi-Boss was showing its might on the deck of the military ship.

The giant Sea Serpent that had got on the military ship was over 40 meters in length. Its gigantic body took up one-third of the empty space on the deck.

Its tail that was as thick as a water pail sent a few players into the ocean with just one sweep. Two white lights of death appeared as it was swinging its tail. At the same time, its head also glided along the deck aggressively. As it moved, it directly bit a Light Armor Warrior and brought his body high up in the air.

“Hiss!”

Snakes don’t eat living things. As such, when the Sea Serpent opened its mouth that was capable of directly devouring the Light Armor Warrior, it did not devour him directly, instead, it snapped its jaw shut first.

“-12344!”

Its two-layer teeth that could easily bite through the tough body of the Flying Knife Swordfish did not face much difficulty when dealing with a player, even when the player was fully equipped in dynamic armor.

“Ta, ta, ta…”

After the giant Sea Serpent got on the ship’s deck, the defensive weapons on the military vessel no longer kept silence. A double barrel close-range cannon on the deck quickly fired a barrage of shots at the giant serpent.

“-2144, -2043, -2017…”

The 30 mm plus caliber close-range cannons, though not the main cannons of the military vessel, still packed quite a powerful punch.

When the cannons hit the Quasi-Boss giant Sea Serpent’s body, its scales were sent flying as wounds quickly appeared on the spots where it was hit.

A firing rate of over 20 shots per second struck the giant Sea Serpent. A series of hits numbering in the thousands quickly took out one-tenth of the giant Sea Serpent’s HP in a few seconds.

“Hiss!”

However, the giant Sea Serpent was not an easy opponent. Hissing sounds could be heard as it breathed out in anger.

“Boom!”

At the same time, the giant Sea Serpent’s thick and strong tail was raised into the air. It swung towards the close-range cannon at high-speed, ignoring the cannon barrel that became searing hot due to constant shots and wrapped its tail around the double barrel close-range cannon and pulled it off the ground along with the seat at the bottom.

In that moment, attacks from the military ship ceased.

This was also the reason why the Federation was not able to completely wipe out the mutated monsters in the non-urban regions, even though they possess all sorts of high-tech weapons.

The Boss class monsters in the game were just too strong, their combat abilities were comparable to military fighter jets.

Even a military ship was at risk of capsizing at sea.

The only positive to the group right now was probably that the Quasi-Boss Shark Turtle behind the military ship had ceased its attempt in trying to capsize the military ship.

After its previous attack on the military ship as well as the attacks of the giant Sea Serpent, around one-tenth of the players had fallen into the ocean. The Shark Turtle had shifted its target temporarily after seeing these fallen prey.

This had inadvertently provided the players on the military ship a chance to face and get rid of the giant Sea Serpent.

However, the opportunity was not exactly easy to grasp.

Apart from the hard, palm-sized scales covering the giant Sea Serpent’s body which greatly reduced the damage inflicted by the players, as well as it’s ridiculously high HP, the Overlord Sea Serpent’s huge body size was the biggest problem.

The entire military vessel was 200 meters long, however, the deck had limited space.

The giant Sea Serpent’s body occupied one-third of the space.

Under this condition, it did not need to move much. Simply waving its body and tail would have been enough for it to throw all the players on the deck into the ocean.

To be precise, it was enough to send all the warrior professions into the sea.

The reason was that the attack power of the giant Sea Serpent’s tail was not any weaker than its bite.

Being hit directly by the Sea Serpent’s tail, unless the player was a warrior, a low-HP long-range profession was most likely going to be killed instantly, even if it were a Manipulator with an energy shield on.

“Ta, ta, ta…”

The defensive weapons on the military ship – a few high caliber automatic six barrel electromagnetic machine guns rose from beneath the military ship’s deck. They fired at the giant Sea Serpent on the deck.

Before a few hundred shots were fired, they would be pulled from the ground up by the tail of the angry giant Sea Serpent.

One special part about War, as compared to other games, was that friendly fire was activated.

Even heavy weapons like ship cannons and high-energy bombs would not have any damage reduction when the damage was inflicted upon a friendly unit. As such, highly lethal weapons could not be used against the giant Sea Serpent that had got on the military ship.

While the Nine-Star Guild rented the military ship, they were not necessarily authorized to use some of the special defensive weapons.

Nonetheless, the ship had gathered the top 500 Expert and Elite players from Storm City. It was not possible for them to not be able to kill and defeat a Level 50 Quasi-Boss monster.

“Break through!”

As the giant Sea Serpent opened its mouth to devour a six barrel electromagnetic machine gun rising up to the ship’s deck that was continuously firing shots, a Light Armor Warrior fully equipped in a set of silver Rare Grade armor had crawled onto a tower-like structure around ten meters above the deck. No one knew when he got up there, but as he got to the top of the tower-like structure, he leaped down suddenly. Like a tiger, he held a golden alloy sword with both his hands and slashed heavily at the giant Sea Serpent’s head as he descended.

“Slash!”

“-5055!”

The sword instantly cut into the giant Sea Serpent’s head. Half the sword cut into its flesh while a beautiful and magnificent red damage number popped up above it’s head.

While the Quasi-Boss giant Sea Serpent’s defense stat was not as insane as the Shark Turtle, the scales on its head, in addition to its skull, were still a great defense combo.

However, at that moment, the slash was enough to actually penetrate through both at once.

While part of it was thanks to the skill – Devastating Slash, the destruction coefficient of that alloy sword was incredibly shocking.

One might even gander that the sword may possibly be a Legendary Grade weapon.
