Chapter 77 - Grab It and It's Yours
His weapons shifted forms freely, and each transformation yielded a unique effect, dazzling and overwhelming to behold.
The combination and timing of various skills, the grasp of combat rhythm, the positioning and movement – it was all textbook perfect!
This blood skeleton blew their minds and redefined what they thought was possible!
“My god, this skeleton is utterly amazing! I’ve never seen anything like it – it’s giving me chills! I never thought a skeleton could be this ridiculously cool!”
“I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel like this blood skeleton is so handsome. The way that little cape was fluttering was just too charming!”
A female mage player gazed at Jiang Cheng, a hint of admiration on her face, mixed with a flash of excitement.
“Damn, your tastes are too hardcore!”
“Wait for me, I just need to finish burying my boyfriend – one more shovelful and I’ll be right there.”
“I need a skeleton like that in my party, stat! One that can switch weapons, look cool, and take down bosses – sign me up!”
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Three arrows pierced the air. Under the players’ awestruck eyes, they pinned the Blood Hell Sword Guard to death!
[Congratulations on slaying Blood Hell Sword Guard Arman. Obtained 30,000 Evolution Points, 30,000 EXP, 1,500 Enhancement Points.]
[Soul Power +15.]
*Boom!*
The ground suddenly exploded in a frenzy of light, as countless beams erupted from the earth. Hundreds of players were transfixed, their shining eyes glued to the spectacle unfolding before them.
Any gamer worth their salt loved to see a boss erupt with loot.
Therefore, as soon as the Blood Hell Sword Guard died, countless players screamed with elation.
Gazes filled with excitement, anticipation, and envy all turned towards Jiang Cheng.
“Loot’s dropping everywhere!”
“Whoa, a blue item just spawned!”
“Blue’s nothing, check out that purple Rare over there!”
“No way, it’s a green item! A legendary just dropped!”
“Grab it, grab it! It’s legendary gear!”
As the myriad lights flashed, the players could no longer restrain their eagerness. They all stepped forward, surging towards the spot where the boss died.
Many players felt for the first time that their legs were too short.
Swordsmen activated Gale Step one after another.
Knights summoned their mounts, horses or donkeys, and charged as soon as they mounted.
“It’s mine, get your hands off!”
“Back off, I saw that green item first!”
“Screw you!”
“Legendary, here I co–”
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
“Aah…ahh…argh…”
Three overlapping 30-meter Explosive Flames detonated amidst the players.
“-600!”
“-585!”
“-486!”
“-488!”
Several dozen blue numbers representing magic damage popped up. Instantly blasting a swath of them to smithereens, over thirty players were sent to the afterlife.
The players rushing from behind all stopped in their tracks, staring at this ruthless blood skeleton in shock.
“We bust our asses fighting the boss, and the ones shouting ‘POG’ get the loot?” The corner of Jiang Cheng’s mouth twitched. “Where in the world does something so nice happen?”
“Loot pickup time is 3 minutes.” Jiang Cheng looked at the group of players and opened his right hand in a gesture of ‘help yourself’.
“If you can grab it, it’s yours. I happen to be short a few skeleton slaves anyway.”
Jiang Cheng discovered that he gained more Soul Power from killing players. Normal mobs usually only gave 1 point, bosses merely 15, but a dead player yielded 3 to 5.
Moreover, the odds of triggering the resurrection of a skeleton servant were also higher with players compared to mobs!
So, after making that gesture, Jiang Cheng picked up a dark token and went off to help A Silly Cutie who was desperately holding on.
He left behind a group of stunned players, utterly bewildered.
“What’s he getting at?”
