Chapter 21: A Piece of Cake

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Once Zhang Yang gave his order to attack, everyone started to deal damage with all their might.

'Ding! You are affected by <Death Stare> (Stack 1). All damage received increased by 100%, lasts for 12 seconds!'

Not long after their attacks begun, Zhang Yang had received a debuff effect enveloping his entire body with a dark gas. Zhang Yang did not mind it but Crimson Fire was panicking internally, thinking, "The boss already has a high attack. Adding this stack of debuff means Zhang Yang would be instantly killed in just one strike!"

However, it was proven that his worries were irrelevant! Zhang Yang was dodging and attacking repeatedly without any sign of panic as he moved around agilely under the boss' brutal attacks. The scene would have led people to believe that he was just having a stroll in his garden!

Oh come on, this is a Hard Mode boss! Crimson Fire shouted in his heart. His own guild had formed a so-called elite dungeon explorers team1 but they were wiped2 several times facing this first boss. If it had not been to witness Zhang Yang's capabilities and to recruit him, he would have remained at the first boss, repeating the round endlessly.

How could he just dodge the boss' attacks that easily? Crimson Fire could not comprehend it, as he had observed that Zhang Yang had not spent much effort at all – a slide to the right, a dodge to the left, how relaxed! How was it that the two tanks from his guild became ruthlessly crushed by the boss even though they had given their all?

"As expected of brother expert!" said Snowy Death with a look of extreme pride on his face, as if he was the one fighting the boss now instead of Zhang Yang.

As Crimson Fire unrelentingly attacked the boss, his gaze towards Zhang Yang became filled with a burning passion and his desire to recruit Zhang Yang into his guild grew stronger!

The ease Zhang Yang had in dodging the boss' attacks was, in fact, built upon his 5 years of experience of metagaming! Based on his instincts, each time the monster had made slight jerk, Zhang Yang would have been noted of where the next attack would come from and could dodge correspondingly in advance. This was all experience and metagame knowledge!

Suddenly, Black Claw stopped its attacks and turned. With a 'ptui', a black spit shot towards Defiant Monk.

A red damage text with '-300' then floated across Defiant Monk's head immediately. Luckily his own HP was high enough to withstand the attack. After deducting the 300 points of damage, he was still left with a mere 40 HP. With several heals from both Ocean Despair and Silky Snow, the party returned to its original attacking momentum.

To be honest, this boss' key difficulty lay with the tank!

Due to <Death Stare>, the party would usually have two tanks. These two tanks would need to coordinate the aggro to prevent the tank's death from over stacking <Death Stare> on one of them. Once one of the two tanks died, the other tank would surely end up with the same fate – unless the party was strong enough to have killed the boss before any tank had fallen.

However, Zhang Yang was an exception! Having 5 years of superior metagaming experience, dodging the boss' fierce attacks was a piece of cake – effortless! He had speculated that even if it were a boss from Hardcore Mode, he could also still perform a 90% and above dodge rate!

Now that he had solved the issue of the tank's death, this boss would definitely be a piece of cake!

90%, 80%, 70%, ...10%!
