Legend of the Asura

"Ding, congratulations to player Wind Spirit for reaching level 20.  HP +20, MP +20, Strength +1, Vitality +1, Agility +1, Intelligence +1, and Luck +1.  You have five free skill points to distribute."

After killing in the Death God's Tomb for half a day, Feng Xiao finally reached level 20, but the system notifications did not end there.

"Ding, congratulations to player Wind Spirit for comprehending the Dragon Flame Slash.  Prestige +10."

"Ding, you have awakened your fire attributed energy and comprehended the skill ‘Blazing Flames'."

"Ding, congratulations to player Wind Spirit for comprehending the Asura Skill ‘Desperation Abyss'.  Prestige +20."

"I learned new skills and three of them at that….." Feng Xiao quickly looked at the stats of the skills.

Dragon Flame Slash: Basic Fire Attributed Magic Martial Art.  Only those with the Demon God's Body and a high perception can comprehend this skill.  When used, the user's weapon will be covered in flames and will instantly attack the enemy three times, each time dealing an extra 50 fire damage as well as having a 30% chance of inflicting a ‘burning' status.  Costs 30 MP to use and has no cooldown.

Burning Flames: Support Skill

Creates dragon flames to surround the user's body, enhancing their various abilities.  

Effects: Attack +10%, Fire Resistance +10%, Burning Resistance +20%, Heat Resistance +30%.  Costs 10 MP to cost and lasts for 10 minutes.  No cooldown time.

Desperation Abyss: Asura exclusive skill

A desperate Asura gives up everything just for the strongest attack.  After being used, the user will enter into a "Broken Red Desires" state where HP, MP, Defense, Magic Attack, Evasion, and Accuracy will all be converted into attack power.  This state will last for one minute and in that minute, all six stats converted will become 1 for one minute.  There is no MP cost for this skill and the user's level will drop by three after using.

A strong support skill focused on attack power!

"Now there's another strange heat resistance.  With the similar cold resistance from earlier, what use does it have?"

"Ice Shattering Slash, Wind Wheel Slash, and the Dragon Flame slash represent water, wind, and fire.  Is there only earth and thunder left?  Could the Magic Warrior Job learn skills from all five attributes?"

Feng Xiao's thoughts were wrong.  The only Magic Warrior in history, Ao Feng only had a single attribute which was wind.

Desperation Abyss, Feng Xiao classified it as a strong skill used as a final resort to avoid death.  With his current stats, if he used it, it would increase his attack power by several times.  This was a terrifying effect, but it was a skill that he could only use in a truly desperate situation, otherwise he would be at risk of being killed at any second.

Not to mention the penalty of losing 3 levels.

The higher his level is, the slower he was increasing it.  He went from level 15 to level 19 yesterday, but for an entire morning, farming for an entire four hours, he had only gained a single level.  He had not returned to the city once in between.  This was because it would take an hour and a half to come back to the second floor and this would all be wasted on the road travelling.

As a result, the gap in levels between him and the other players increased.  The second place Hen Tian was already level 17 and the other players were around level 13-15.

Feng Xiao did not need to drink potions, so he didn't need to return to the city and buy more.  He was just depressed that he had a limited amount of space in his inventory and he could only throw away many top quality equipment.  Currently, his inventory was filled with potions and Bronze Grade Equipment.

"I should go meet Yao'er."  Seeing the in game time, he found that it was close to noon.  Feng Xiao quickly cleared the Spirit Spearman around him and prepared to log off.

A white light flashed not far from him and a giant spear wielding warrior appeared.  He was standing straight, raising the spear in his hand in the air, roaring into the sky.  He suddenly saw Feng Xiao standing not far away from him.

He had killed the Spirit Knight three-four times already over the past two days.  This time it seemed to recognize him and it immediately charged at him like he had dug up the graves of its ancestors.

-147.  A normal attack from the Spirit Knight hit Feng Xiao as he was logging off.

"Ding, you are in a battle state.  You cannot log off."

"Hei, hei, delivering yourself to me, you really are being familiar."  Feng Xiao was not angry being disrupted from logging off, but rather gave an evil smile.  The Boss represented item drops and large amount of experience, so how could he not fight it?  Moreover, this fellow could already no longer threaten him anymore.

"To pay you back for your enthusiasm, I'll show you my new moves."

"Blazing Flames, Dragon Flame Slash!"  Feng Xiao loudly shouted.  The Dragon Flame Slash was released and red flames enveloped the golden Xuanyuan Sword's blade, giving a dragon's roar…...The flames hit the Spirit Knight's body and then attacked three times.

-832, -842, -833.

The three normal attacks all had 50 fire damage added on, taking 50% of the Spirit Knight's HP.  The Death Knight gave a roar and raised it spear in an unwilling manner.  After he succeeded the first time, he hadn't use his special attack, "Meteor Throw" since.

"Pa, pa!"  A familiar spinning golden sword interrupted his throw and at the same time, it took off two thirds of his remaining HP.

"He should be summoning his pet soon….."  Feng Xiao smiled as he thought about it.  Every time he killed the Spirit Knight, he would leave it with a sliver of health so it would always summon the other Undead Wolf Boss out.  After all, another boss meant more equipment and more experience points.

Naturally, the Spirit Knight raised its head and gave a roar, summoning the Undead Wolf that Feng Xiao was waiting for.  As soon as it appeared, Feng Xiao would immediately take care of the Spirit Knight with a flick of his sword.

…...

What seemed strange was that the Spirit Knight's previous roars only took a second, but this time it was taking an entire three seconds.

"Qiang".  While Feng Xiao was filled with doubts, a golden glow suddenly appeared on the roaring Spirit Knight's body.  The bronze armour surrounding it slowly turned gold…...

"This is bad, it's evolving!"  Feng Xiao quickly attacked, sending out a Dragon Flame Slash.  The Xuanyuan Sword clashed against the golden light…..

"Dang!"  -505.

A 505 damage figure appeared above Feng Xiao and he was sent flying back four-five meters.  When he quickly stood up, he found that the Spirit Knight had already finished evolving.

"Ding, you have enraged the Spirit Knight by hunting it many times and under that rage, the Spirit Knight has evolved to a level 35 Gold Boss, Golden Spirit Knight."

I hunted him down?  It was him sending himself to death more like!  Feng Xiao rolled his eyes, but his heart was already beginning to beat fast.  The event with an one in ten thousand chance actually came to him.

A Gold Boss was an existence that was a grade higher than Silver Bosses, and it was at level 35.

Golden Spirit Knight: Level 35 Gold Boss

HP: 25000

Has a stronger attack and defense, but attacks less frequently.

Skills:

Spirit Body: Negates 50% of death attributed attacks and adds 200 death attributed damage to attacks.

Soul Spear Attack: Uses 50 HP to release a strong spear attack, dealing twice the normal damage.

True Dragon Storm Fist: Spins the user's weapon to sweep back all surrounding enemies.  Has a high chance of triggering the ‘repel' effect.

Unique Skill:

Comet Passing: Uses one's full strength to throw out the giant spear, dealing a fixed 3000 damage to all targets in a line with the power of a comet.  Has a 100% chance of applying a 3-5 second stunned state.  After being used, the user must take 3 seconds to form a new weapon with undead aura.

Seeing the stats of the Golden Spirit Knight, Feng Xiao finally had a new understanding for how strong Gold Bosses were.  He also understood that if it wasn't for the Xuanyuan Sword's ‘Dominating the World', even his current self would not be a match for the Golden Snow Wolf Emperor.

A Gold Boss was really a powerful existence!

With a cold flash, when Feng Xiao reacted, a spear head was becoming larger in his line of sight!

"Peng!"  -3000.

The Golden Spirit Knight hated Feng Xiao to his bones, so he would not give his enemy a chance catch his breath, so he released his special unique skill, "Comet Passing", without any warning.  Bosses of certain grade had set intelligence and higher grades meant higher intelligence.  It would not be like other bosses that would give players a chance to form a counter strategy first.

Feng Xiao was shocked.  He never thought that the Golden Spirit Knight would be so direct, taking most of his HP and applying a "stunned state" to him.

After 3 seconds, the Golden Spirit Knight formed a new spear in its hand and charged out with a roar.  Misfortune did not come alone as a new squad of Spirit Spearmen respawned and also charged at Feng Xiao.

Feng Xiao was still in the "stunned" state.  With the level disparity, even if it was a level 28 Silver Boss, he would still suffer a 5 second stun, not to mention a level 35 Gold Boss.

The fourth second: -847, miss, miss, -43, -46.

The Golden Spirit Knight and the normal Spirit Spearmen's attacks made Feng Xiao's HP drop close to the bottom.

It's over…..After the shameful event with the rabbits in the Beginner Village, another tragedy was about to happen.

Fifth second…..Feng Xiao was pleasantly surprised to find he could move again.

The Golden Spirit Knight's attack speed was quite slow.  When it raised its spear, countless thoughts had already passed through Feng Xiao's head…...

Run?  That was not possible.  The Gold Boss would have a higher move speed and he wouldn't be able to return to town («Rebirth» did not allow one to log off or return to the city while in combat.)

Dominating the World?  It was no problem for him to instantly kill it with the Xuanyuan Sword's attack, but his stats would be decreased for the next 3 hours and the strong soldiers would kill him…..

…...Could he only die?  Feng Xiao was filled with conflict.

Suddenly an idea flashed in Feng Xiao's head and he instantly crushed a scroll he summoned.

The Golden Spirit Knight's attack hit thin air and he angrily discovered that the enemy he wanted to kill ten thousand times had disappeared!

Unbounded Scroll: Spiritual Item

A special scroll produced by the Beginner Village Chief.  It will send the user to a random location on the Heavenly Dragon Continent.  Each scroll can be used once and will disappear after being used.

What Feng Xiao used was the Unbounded Scroll that he suddenly thought of.

Feng Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.  The item that he thought was useless had actually saved his life today.

The place that he had been sent randomly was a gloomy cave that was completely silent.  How could he care about where he was sent to?  He had wanted to log off, but now he had been delayed, so now he had to rush to pick up his treasured little sister.
