Chapter 114 - A Godly Weapon Has Come

This chapter was sponsored by William Wang, Cesare Miotto, Matthew Luther and Alberto Pinilos Lorenzana! Thanks!

TL: Hmm, I seem to be going back on my word of last chaps a lot... and also for everyone who has applied thanks! I'll read over the things later... Tonight's kinda late

"Bang!"

The sudden sweep from the Green Qilin* sent me flying ten meters above ground. My skull rammed into the rock. Fortunately, my Fire Beacon Helmet protected me, but that did not stop my health from dropping below one hundred points.

Under the rainfall, I glanced behind me to see many green vines swinging in the sky. I cannot fight this Boss; I have to retreat!

Using both legs, I coiled myself against a bit of rock protruding from the wall. With all my strength, I leapt and shot toward the vines like a rubber band.

My aim was perfect. Reaching out, I grabbed one of the vines with a "Pa." My body was drenched in a cold sweat. When I looked at my health, I discovered that I had only 44 points remaining. The Qilin's stats completely dominate my own. Without healers, I had no hope of defeating it.

"Shua!"

+750!

I used [Heal] and waited for the cool down on my health potion to refresh. Sheathing my Jade City Sword behind me, I began to climb. After about 30 meters, I paused to take a rest.

......

"Hou Hou....."

Below me, the Qilin jumped and swiped its sharp claws at me. I could feel the breeze from its swipes as they brushed against my legs. If I can't fight you, shouldn't I at least be able to avoid you?

I suddenly feel a tinge of regret for running. Looking down from my position, I could see that the Qilin's jump and attack range were both less than 30 meters. Apparently, it could not reach where I hung.

Hmmm. If I used a bow, would I be able to kill this Purple Tier Boss without taking any damage?

As the thought churned in my head, I quickly opened my inventory and saw a bow in the corner. It was my Wind Chaser, a Lv 37 Silver Tier bow with an exceptionally high attack of 197-285. I also found a few bundles of steel arrows I had collected, which can add up to 25 more damage. Haha! Here was my chance!

My pulse quickened as I became more excited. Let's try this out!

I knotted the vine and tied my legs to it, securing them in place. Releasing my grip, I flipped upside down, a quiver of arrows appearing on my back as I pulled out my Wind Chaser. Despite my lack of the 25% damage boost for the arrows from not being an Archer, my 1.0 growth in strength gave me the attack damage I needed. I did not know any archery skills, of course, so I could only shoot regular shots.

"Sou!"

An arrow flew from my bow and embedded itself in the forehead of the Qilin with a "Pa." A decent damage indicator popped up –

"117!"

As I had expected, the damage I could do with a bow was severely limited. Additionally, the Qilin's defense must have been extremely high. I could tell this battle was going to take a while.

......

"HouHou....."

The Qilin leapt again and again, its claws missing me by a hair. Heh. It did not know how to fly, which made it almost perfect for me. Wouldn't this mean that Mages, Archers, and Musketeers could've also taken advantage of the bug to safely kill the boss?
