Chapter 23: Killing the Witch Boss During a Global Live Broadcast (1)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Reyker abruptly jumped, and it was as if he was flying as he had leaped into the air to a height of more than ten meters under the support of the werewolf’s huge strength.

Even the vines on the ground could not stop him.

Following this, Reyker landed a claw attack on the witch’s body.

A simple number [-88] was displayed.

Seeing this, the guild master of the Dragon Hunter Guild was ecstatic, “Just this? Let’s see what you’re going to do next!”

But his smile froze again because the witch suddenly froze and stopped attacking Reyker.

Did the paralysis effect work?

Reyker was delighted. He had initially jumped intending to close the distance because if he remained in a distance, it would take forever to beat the boss since he would be in a passively attacked position.

He didn’t expect that he would be so lucky to trigger paralysis. Could it be that the witch did not have paralysis resistance?

What happened next proved Reyker’s speculations. No matter how he attacked, the witch stayed frozen and did not move.

Reyker clicked on her status column and saw that the paralysis buff had been stacked to the upper limit of ten levels, and was still being refreshed.

“Is it a bug?” Many players asked in the comments.

“Bug! Yes, it must be a bug!” The guild master of the Dragon Hunter Guild, Colin, said excitedly.

“No, I can’t let him get a reward by relying on a bug!” Colin thought excitedly as he watched the scene in the live broadcast. Then, he came up with a plan.

He turned his head and said to his assistants who were standing at the sides and instructed, “Get everyone in the guild to go comment under this guy’s live broadcast that he is taking advantage of a bug and his account should be banned!”

With his command, the atmosphere of the comments in Reyker’s live broadcast room changed.

The discussion that was initially on the reason why the boss wasn’t moving switched to punishing Reyker.

Soon, the matter here attracted the attention of the developers of “The One”.

“Is it a bug? But “The One” has been in service for so long and I’ve never heard of such a thing,” The guild master of the Winged Dragon Guild, Dennis, rubbed his chin and said.

“Guild master, I think there’s probably some leading the discussion in that direction.”

“Hmm, I wonder how One Technology Company will handle this.”

In less than half a minute, One Technology Company released an announcement.

The announcement clearly stated that there were no bugs in “The One”. The reason for the situation was all due to the player’s skill and the design of the dungeon boss.

In the announcement, the company also stated that they would punish the players who had been leading the discussion with foul intentions by banning them from posting or chatting in the forum for a week.

With this, Colin found that he could not post anything as his comment bar had turned gray.

The scariest part was that the silencing included the daily gaming in “The One”.

This meant that he would not be able to communicate in the game with his subordinates for the next week. This was a disastrous blow to a guild master.

On the other side, Reyker had already reduced the witch’s HP to 30%. He estimated that he would be able to kill the boss in less than a minute.

Although the boss of a solo dungeon in “The One” might have the same skills as when it was the boss in a multi-player dungeon, its HP would definitely be greatly reduced.

Just as Reyker had reduced the witch’s HP to 20%, the viewers of his live broadcast were discussing in the comments.

“What will be the equipment dropped?”

“I bet it will be gold-grade equipment!”

“Gold? You’re underestimating the exclusive quest. I bet it’ll probably be platinum-grade equipment.”

“Platinum? impossible. There’s not a piece of single platinum-grade equipment in the whole game yet.”

Although Reyker could not see the comments, he also could not help but wonder what would be the reward he would get.

Just as he was about to kill the witch, she suddenly moved, raising her head and letting out a wild laugh.

Then her entire body expanded and the green-white fish scales pierced through her skin. Her originally beautiful face began to morph, and finally, her skin tore.

She turned into a huge fishman.

“My skin! My skin! You destroyed the skin that I’ve gone through such effort to make!”

“Eww, disgusting! So this is what the legends meant when they described someone turning into a fish? Where did this monster come from?”

Was this the real form of the boss?

Reyker fiercely struck forward, but the slippery scales made his claws bounce away.

He opened the status column again and looked at the specifications.

[Mutated Fishmen Witch]

[Characteristics]:

[Mermaid Gene]: 70% negative effects resistance. After receiving a series of negative effects, resistance will increase to a maximum of 95%.

[Fishman Scale Armor]: Reduces physical damage by 30, increases evasion of physical attacks by 15%.

[Fishman Mucus]: Duration of bleeding effect reduced by 50%, lightning damage increased by 50%, fire damage increased by 40%.

The moment this attribute panel appeared, Reyker was stunned.

Were these characteristics not specifically customed to counter him? After transforming into a were, all of his attacks were physical. The only special effect he could trigger, bleeding, was also restrained.

Soon, the advantage of the Fishman Mucus was displayed.

Though she had transformed into a fishman, Reyker had left many deep wounds on the witch in her original form.

However, after the wounds were covered by the mucus, a layer of transparent film was quickly formed, preventing blood from flowing out.

After entering the second form, the boss’s HP had recovered by half.

“I’m going to peel off your skin and make it into my new coat!” The fishman witch let out a sharp roar.

Black gas wrapped around the vines and flew towards Reyker.

Before the boss had entered its second form, Reyker’s speed was faster than the vines.

However, now that the vines were strengthened by the black gas, he could not dodge anymore.

The only fortunate thing was that he had a certain degree of resistance towards black magic in the werewolf form

“There must be a way,” Reyker thought for clues to counterattack while running and dodging the attacks.

Suddenly, he could feel his feet tied up, and then hundreds of vines wrapped around him. With a squeeze and a “crack”, Reyker could feel that all his bones were broken.

[-432]

Reyker turned into a pile of meat paste, and the witch returned to her seat in the cave.

Her HP quickly recovered, and a beautiful human skin covered her body again.

“The sister-con master is so strong, yet he can’t beat this boss?”

“That’s too terrifying. To think the boss of a solo dungeon can deal over 400 damage in one hit. Even a shield warrior with damage reduction can’t withstand such a blow unless he reaches level 19 or above.”

“Sigh, so what if a shield warrior with damage reduction can withstand the boss’ attack? The damage dealt would probably be insufficient anyway. I reckon I won’t even be able to trigger the second form.”

“Sigh, solo dungeons are really too difficult..”
