Strategy for defeating the boss in Chapter 16
"Clang clang".
As the knight, enveloped in holy light, moved, the armor made a crisp clanging sound; the flowing light served as both spear and shield, combining offense and defense.
With the blessing of holy light, he was even able to briefly collide head-on with the war behemoth, but in the end he was no match for that immense force and retreated after just one touch.
"roar--!!"
The war beast roared as it pursued, its massive body giving it almost inexhaustible strength. The fierce winds whipped up by its two heavy weapons stung the man's face.
The terrifying destructive power forced the knight opposite him to fight and retreat, and the two sides quickly moved the battlefield from the town entrance street to a small square near the central ring.
"Thump!"
The war beast trampled the stone slabs of the square, and its large mouth at the front of its body exhaled hot and pungent breath.
He could sense that, despite the protection of the holy light, the human opposite him was surprisingly weak, far too weak for someone at level 30. If he continued his pursuit, the creature would surely be unable to resist.
But just as he was thinking this, he saw that the other person, for some reason, suddenly distanced himself from him and stood around the perimeter of the square.
Then, an arrow flashing with magical light flew from nowhere and gently pierced his back.
War Beast: "?"
What is this thing?
It looks like it's been enchanted, but its power is so weak it wouldn't even tickle him. The enchantment seems to be just for making it glow.
However, he soon found out what the arrow was for, because as a noisy echo came from the direction of the barracks, fiery meteors were thrown into the sky and fell down towards him with perfect accuracy!
"Boom—"
The exploding stones rained down on the war beast, exploding and engulfing it in flames and dust. The knight seized the opportunity, raising his legacy sword high.
As magic power continued to flow in, the patterns on the longsword became increasingly dazzling and continued to extend outward, condensing into a holy light giant sword several meters long!
The knight raised his holy sword high, and just as the war beast emerged from the flames and smoke, he slashed down with all his might!
"Buzz—"
A distant echo resounded, followed by the muffled sound of flesh being torn apart!
The war behemoth roared and staggered back a few steps, its front half of body torn open with a deep, bone-revealing wound!
It worked!
For a moment, everyone who witnessed this scene had the same thought.
However, the next moment, the war beast roared again, and the wound that had been cut closed up on its own.
Immediately afterwards, he slightly closed his massive abdominal maw, briefly gathered his strength, and then suddenly opened it wide, spewing out a flesh-and-blood cannonball shrouded in black smoke, heading straight for the knight!
knight:"!!"
There was no time to dodge, but fortunately he reacted quickly and activated the holy light shield built into his armor. Relying on this shield, he forcibly blocked the incoming cannonball.
"Bang!"
Even so, the enormous impact shattered the shield and sent him flying backward, crashing into a nearby house.
The soldiers who witnessed this scene were horrified: "Baron!!"
……
On another street in the town center, You Che was rushing towards them.
He didn't need to fight the previous mid-bosses, but he'll be indispensable to winning against the final boss of the prologue.
Of course, You Che knew very well that with his current level and attributes, even a slight brush from the BOSS would kill him on the spot, so he would not risk his life.
On a grand scale, without his command and control, the town's forces would have been wiped out; on a smaller scale, although he decided to follow his heart and join the war, he had no intention of dying here.
I must save lives, and I must win the boss battle!
On his way to the battlefield, several more people arrived from different directions. The magician, the militiaman, the thief, and the priest—the four main characters—came to meet him as he had previously arranged.
The group quickly arrived at the outer edge of the square. While maintaining his distance, You Che quickly assessed the current battle situation.
When he saw the knight staggering out of the ruins on the side of the street, he knew the timing was right.
He immediately gave the order: "—Proceed according to plan!"
At this moment, the knight who had been knocked away was leaning against the broken wall, panting heavily, while quickly gulping down a recovery potion to heal his injuries.
Of course, the giant beast did not give up the pursuit and wait for him to recover. Rather, seeing the knight being knocked away, the soldiers charged forward again without hesitation and entangled him.
Even the catapult troops in the distance, who had already exhausted their explosive catapults, were now attacking with ordinary stones. With the combined efforts of all sides, they finally managed to temporarily hold back the behemoth.
But naturally, such tactical damage would be considerable, and it wouldn't last long.
The knight watched as the charging soldiers fell one by one, his sword trembling. The heavy blow he had just received had indeed seriously injured him, and he had not yet fully recovered his fighting strength.
Just as he was about to lose his temper and force himself to go up and fight, a warm light suddenly fell on him, causing most of his injuries to subside quickly.
The knight was startled, then turned around and saw the priest retracting his staff, and immediately understood.
"You've arrived!"
He immediately gained confidence and steadied himself. The priest placed his hand on his armor, whispered a few words of prayer, and the armor, which had dimmed, shone brightly once more.
The knight seemed to be recharged, his eyes shining brightly again beneath his helmet.
It wasn't over yet. As the knight emerged from the ruins, several more rays of light fell upon him, wrapping around him and further enhancing his fighting prowess.
However, the knight had no time to think about where these buffs came from. He simply gripped his longsword tightly, let out a high-pitched battle cry, and charged once again at the rampaging war behemoth!
With the support of several enhancement buffs, the knight's combat power seemed to have increased even more than before. After a few sword strikes, he successfully inflicted significant damage on the war beast, prompting it to relentlessly pursue the knight again, which temporarily stabilized the situation.
—On the rooftop of a residential building at the edge of the square, You Che is observing.
Beside him, the mage, wielding the staff of the Crown of Chaos, was repeatedly testing his bloodline; the militiamen, meanwhile, were striving to maintain the effects of the Blessed Badge and their own abilities, sharing the buffs with the targets designated by Yuche.
The priest returned at this moment and, seeing that the light on the militia boy was starting to fade, immediately swung his staff and quickly restored the buff.
[Devoted Prayer (Passive): Prayers are more likely to be answered. The speed of casting prayers is slightly increased, and the cost is slightly reduced.]
Then, without any regard for appearances, he plopped down next to them, took out a few blades of grass from his backpack, and started munching on them.
That's the unprocessed mana-restoring item "Moon Eater Grass." It tastes bitter, but its effects are quite good, and the key is that you can carry a lot of it.
As for the buffs he added to the militia, they were naturally beneficial effects. One of the targets of the militia sharing buffs was the knights, and these buffs were the guarantee for maintaining their combat effectiveness.
Some people may wonder, don't priests have any group buff skills?
Of course there are, but most group-buff prayers are significantly weaker in numerical value than pure single-target buffs.
Moreover, the priest is only level 6, so the group buffs he can cast are basically just empty words.
However, single-target buffs are different. Even the most basic "Holy Blessing" has a significantly higher single-target value than "Divine Protection," which can only be learned at level 5. Even after the nerf to the Militia's talent sharing, it is still superior.
Therefore, having the priest apply a single-target buff to the militiaman, who then shares it with his teammates, is more effective than directly casting a group buff.
Since the militia also need to maintain the effect of the Blessed Badge, this way the priest consumes less mana, and the saved mana can be used to cast other buffs, achieving multiple benefits at once.
"Got it!"
Just as the priest was grazing, the magician suddenly shouted, and his staff shone with a dazzling light!
Perhaps because she had washed her face beforehand, or perhaps because You Che was nearby, she only needed three tries to successfully activate the staff this time.
"Get out of the way—Chaos Fireball!"
A small, sun-like lava fireball reappeared, illuminating the night sky.
Without needing to shout a warning, the knight in the midst of battle used all his strength to hold back the war beast, while simultaneously moving his feet to use the beast's massive body to shield himself from the scorching flames.
The next moment, the huge fireball slammed into the war beast!
"boom!!"
