Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Do You Know What Kiting DPS Is?
Editor: Atlas Studios
Amidst the blaze, a series of damage values emerged from the top of Sewn Monster Pato.
The mage truly deserves the title of king of long-range damage output.
Unfortunately, after this round, Favide’s mana was nearly depleted.
At this moment, Zong Shen’s crossbow arrow and the short spears of the three Wolf Cavalry also hit the sewn monster.
[-12]
[-12]
[-12]
[-34]
Three damage values appeared.
Compared to the two mages, it seemed utterly weak.
Especially the three Wolf Cavalry, whose throwing damage was reduced by the armor value, leaving only a pathetic 12 points.
Better than nothing, I suppose.
After finishing this wave.
No need for Zong Shen to say anything, everyone hurriedly ran back into the tunnel.
Zong Shen included.
They all dashed back into the corridor, then began frantically throwing stones, discarded iron bars, abandoned bed frames, and all sorts of debris toward the steps leading upwards.
Through the joint efforts of seven people.
They soon blocked the stairs leading up.
Then they quickly retreated to the middle of the corridor, stopping more than twenty meters away from the staircase.
Quietly waiting for the moment to launch the second wave of attack.
Meanwhile, the sewn monster’s fat body staggered down.
Facing the roadblock, it appeared quite bewildered.
After trying to brute force push with its body a few times but to no avail.
Its two arms raised the huge butcher knife.
And began mercilessly chopping at the obstacle.
It was like slicing through vegetables.
It took only half a minute to chop all the obstacles into fragments.
It staggered down the stairs.
Zong Shen could see it clearly; this creature had no emotions or will, just pure killing instinct.
The moment it stepped onto the corridor.
The second round of long-range attacks rained down on it.
Tasuya had sufficient mana and once again unleashed the powerful but costly Double Death Spirit Arrow.
Favide, with limited mana left, could only use the least expensive Small Fireball.
Sadly, the Wolf Cavalry’s control skill, Capture Net, was still in cooldown.
Otherwise, they could have pinned it in place and used the longer-lasting Fire Rain skill for damage.
A large series of damage values emerged over its head.
[-55]
[-55]
[-35]
[-4]

[-12]

[-34]
Once the second wave of attacks ended, the group retreated again, this time directly back to the Prayer Room.
Zong Shen turned around and closed the Rune Iron Gate.
This Rune Gate, Zong Shen had the key, but this monster didn’t!
Once the Rune Gate was shut, it shimmered with rune glows, seemingly indestructible.
Zong Shen held the key in his hand.
A smile appeared on his face.
He slowly backed away.
These two rounds of hit-and-run attacks had directly knocked out two-thirds of the sewn monster’s life value.
Now, the sewn monster had 274 life value left.
As long as the two mage darlings prepare their states, another round would finish off the sewn monster directly.
Now he had tasted the sweetness of mages.
A mage with an output position and mana is undoubtedly a moving turret.
At this time, the sewn monster staggered to the outside of the Rune Iron Gate.
Baring its butcher knife, it frantically hacked at the Rune Gate.
The runes on the gate flickered continuously from the impact.
Zong Shen remained calm.
He brought over a few chairs from the Prayer Room that weren’t too damaged.
Sat boldly in place, crossing his legs.
Meanwhile, he had Tasuya, Favide, and Tiezhu also sit down to watch the show.
Especially the two mage darlings.
Sitting on the chairs, they closed their eyes and began entering a meditation state to quickly restore mana.
Zong Shen was just short of personally serving these two.
Both Favide and Tasuya had the magic effect amplification skill.
In meditation, they could restore 33 mana points per minute.
As long as this Rune Gate could hold for over a minute, Favide could accumulate enough mana to launch an Explosive Fireball.
By then, another magic burst would beat the sewn monster to almost death.
Then, he would use the Hunting Crossbow for the final blow.
Perfect!
Zong Shen didn’t have any particular specialties.
But his thinking was agile.
And he had rich gaming experience.
On one side, Tiezhu could only accompany him throughout since he lacked long-range attack methods.
At this moment, he admired Zong Shen immensely.
The blue, captain-level sewn monster had over two-thirds of its life value knocked out so easily.
His Lord was truly powerful!
Tiezhu’s eyes were almost sparkling with stars as he looked at Zong Shen.
"Lord, I can’t believe we are now able to handle such powerful captain-level monsters!"
Tiezhu said instinctively.
Only to see Zong Shen nonchalantly pout.
"Do you know what hit-and-run output is?"
"Basic operations, basic operations."
Using the terrain for hit-and-run output, isn’t this basic operation?
Zong Shen didn’t care.
Moreover, operation was one thing.
Having sufficient forces was another.
Three Wolf Cavalry, an Assassin, plus himself barely qualifying as an incompetent Shield Sword Warrior.
Five melee fighters and two mages with strong output.
That’s practically a full-fledged battle squad.
And quite a lavish one too.
As long as they didn’t recklessly charge head-on, it was foolproof.
A little over a minute later.
The runes on the Rune Iron Gate began to dim.
It started to emit creaking sounds under strain.
Seemed like it wouldn’t hold much longer.
"Lord, I have recovered my mana to 50 points."
Favide opened his eyes.
Reporting to Zong Shen.
"Good, Tiezhu, take the key, open the door, and unleash the beast!"
"Avid, you also throw a short spear."
"Coordinate with the mage for output."
"Everyone else, stand by, be prepared."
Zong Shen tossed the key of the Rune Iron Gate into Tiezhu’s hands.
At the same time, he started loading the Hunting Crossbow.
"All set, ready for the final blow!"
Tiezhu took the key and jogged to the door’s side.
By now, the Rune Iron Gate was nearly breached.
Tiezhu skillfully unlocked the door, and the next moment he blended into the shadows.
The door suddenly was pushed open.
The sewn monster hurriedly stepped in.
No need for more directions from Zong Shen, the moment it entered, their attacks showered over like raindrops.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
"Whoosh!"
Accompanied by Tasuya and Favide’s magic attacks, Avid also threw out a short spear.
After a series of damage, Sewn Monster Pato was left with just a sliver of health.
Yet it continued fearlessly rushing towards Zong Shen.
"Time for the final blow."
"Die!"
"Wham!"
With a loud snap.
The crossbow’s string released the arrow.
The final damage flashed across the screen.
Sewn Monster Pato turned into a ball of white light and fell to the ground.
Gradually fading into the floor in a glow of five or six different colors, lying there quietly.
Zong Shen put away the Hunting Crossbow, a satisfied grin appearing at the corner of his mouth.
