Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 3)

Chapter 581 - War God!

The entire expedition team was working as a unit. However, every now and then, one or two players would still get hit by a stray glob of poison. There was no saving them.

About three minutes later, the Miasma Scorpion King's health fell to 25%. Everyone became nervous.

"Watch out for the poison mist!"

"Bladelight, careful!"

The Miasma Scorpion King opened its mouth. Its abdomen swelled as it prepared to spray out its poison mist.

Bladelight immediately took up a defensive posture, preparing to tank the Miasma Scorpion King.

"Smoke Stub, activate Rage of the Berserker!" Nie Yan shouted.

"Hah!" Smoke Stub bellowed out as his body started glowing red. He activated his Rank 6 Seismic Slam, rending the earth below him as web-like cracks spread out. With a loud bang, the Miasma Scorpion King was knocked several meters back and briefly stunned.

Nie Yan had circled around to the Miasma Scorpion King's back while in stealth. Seeing it get hit by the Seismic Slam, he pounced forth with Backbreaker.

−13,155

The Miasma Scorpion King was inflicted with the cripple status effect.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds!

It lasted a whole five seconds!

"What powerful crowd control!" Bladelight and Smoke Stub were shocked. This skill was way too powerful!

"The Miasma Scorpion is CC'd! Everybody, let loose!"

The Mages all cast their highest damaging spells.

Tang Yao chanted out a long incantation as a red cloud gathered in the sky above. Shortly after, meteors started raining down.

−3,831
−3,674
−3,648
...

Seven meteors struck the Miasma Scorpion King in a row. Compared to the couple hundred damage the ordinary Mages were dealing, Tang Yao's damage was quite frightening.

Within the short span of three seconds, Nie Yan unloaded all his various skills, like Backstab, Eviscerate, Vital Strike, and so on. Each one dealt close to 10,000 damage. Everyone's jaws gaped in shock.

"The boss' damage is too frightening!"

"It's more than 50 times my damage..."

Nie Yan's high damage boosted the team's confidence in victory.

Only Nie Yan, Bladelight, Smoke Stub, and a few others understood that all they could do was to give it their best. As for what the final outcome would be, they could only leave it up to fate.

As the Miasma Scorpion King was about to recover, Nie Yan struck out with Smothering Strike.

Miss!

"Crap!" Nie Yan cried out in alarm.

The Miasma Scorpion King's abdomen swelled. It was just about to spray out its poison mist, when a silhouette appeared beside it. Sun plunged his dagger into the back of its head.

The Miasma Scorpion King's body type was atypical. They could only rely on their intuition to find its weak spots.

After the Smothering Strike landed, the Miasma Scorpion King was stunned.

Thankfully, Sun reacted in time, or else they would've been in a lot of trouble.

The stun barely lasted for a second. As the Miasma Scorpion King was about to recover, King of the World followed up with a Concussive Blow.

This stun also barely lasted a second.

"Everyone, be careful! Each crowd control skill only works against the boss three times. After that, they'll no longer have an effect!"

The Miasma Scorpion King was about to recover again, when Nie Yan followed up with another Concussive Blow. The stun lasted three seconds.

It was the same skill, but the effect was worlds apart.

"Stop using Smothering Strike and Concussive Blow, use other crowd control skills!"

Over the course of the battle, the Miasma Scorpion King's resistance against crowd control had grown extremely high. Misses would constantly appear. Even after chaining all their skills together, they could only CC the Miasma Scorpion King for 15 seconds. Nie Yan's contribution was the highest at 90%. The effects of his several skills were extremely powerful.

Under the nonstop assault, the Miasma Scorpion King's health fell to 12%.

Hell Execution!

Zennarde's Sword glowed scarlet red as Nie Yan slashed down on the Miasma Scorpion King.

Miss!

Hell Execution failed!

Hell Execution!

Nie Yan repeatedly used Hell Execution but failed every attempt. The Warriors around him were also spamming their execution skills. Since the Miasma Scorpion King was a Level 110 Lord, the success rate was extremely low. However, if they somehow got lucky, they would be golden.

The Miasma Scorpion King's tail whipped out in a horizontal arc, instantly killing more than 10 Warriors.

The Miasma Scorpion King's abdomen began swelling again!

"Does anyone else have a crowd control skill?" Nie Yan anxiously shouted.

If they couldn't stop the Miasma Scorpion King from casting Poison Mist, its health would recover back to full!

Everyone understood this was a crucial moment!

Hell Execution!

Miss!

The Miasma Scorpion King's abdomen was already full. Nie Yan had used up all his powerful crowd control skills. If no one stopped it, all their previous efforts would go to waste.

"Dammit! We're so close too..." Nie Yan sighed. Sure enough, they weren't strong enough to challenge the Miasma Scorpion King at this level. If their Mages were Level 100, during the 15 seconds Nie Yan and the others kept it CC'd, they would've already killed it by now. It was a pity most of them weren't even Level 80. Their damage output was too low.

The Miasma Scorpion King was on the verge of spraying out its poison mist. Nie Yan lamented, "It's over."

As everybody was about to abandon all hope, Smoke Stub suddenly bellowed out like tiger. His entire body shone with a brilliant radiance, as if he were clad in golden armour. A three-meter tall phantom manifested behind him. Wielding a massive sword, it looked just like a golden war god. It mimicked his actions like a mirror-image.

War God's Assault!

Smoke Stub rushed toward the Miasma Scorpion King. Every step shook the ground as if the very world were being rocked. His momentum crescendoed to a thundering charge as he blazed forth with devastating might.

At this moment, Smoke Stub was the embodiment of a war god!
