Chapter 213: Chapter213-Bloodthirsty Blade, Kill!
8635427!
Triggered HP absorption! Blood drain: 690834!
Triggered blood shield! Current blood shield HP storage: 690000!
The emerald-tier snow wolf let out a mournful cry!
Its blood hadn't even hit the ground before it froze into ice crystals.
Glistening with a reddish glow, they looked like fine rubies.
John gazed at the Bloodthirsty Blade in his hand, faintly glowing red.
He hadn't expected a single strike to trigger 0.08% blood absorption and convert it into a blood shield!
He had never had the chance to use it before, but now it seemed this snow shield could be lifesaving at critical moments.
The others couldn't see the damage John's attack had inflicted, but they could see that the emerald-tier elite monster's HP had dropped significantly in an instant!
"My God..."
Everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths, afraid they might scream.
What terrifying damage!
Half the health of an emerald-tier elite monster gone in one strike?
My goodness, could a human even unleash such power?
Many glanced unconsciously at the scoreboard to check John's level.
Indeed, he was still level 35!
Why was his damage so vastly different?
This level of damage was just unreal!
Even with a 100% damage boost, it seemed too horrific.
But soon, they calmed down, and a sense of joy filled their hearts.
John growing stronger was a good thing for them!
At least in some ways, their burden felt a little lighter.
The snow wolf howled mournfully, its eyes showing a flicker of fear as it looked at John.
Wolves are creatures that bully the weak and fear the strong, displaying a natural reverence for power.
John's strike made the snow wolf retreat, whimpering.
But John did not relent; he struck again, cleaving the wolf's head.
Bright red blood sprayed onto the ground, quickly turning into frost.
The surrounding snow wolves backed away, growling threateningly at John yet daring not approach, as if facing a fearsome monster.
The lower-level platinum-tier snow wolves bowed their heads, nervously retreating.
Had the Snow Wolf King not been present, they might have already submitted to John.
Even the emerald-tier wolves stepped back.
The Snow Wolf King was displeased, not expecting anyone to challenge his authority right in front of him.
With a furious howl, the surrounding wolves shuddered but involuntarily stepped back.
While they were bound to obey the Snow Wolf King's commands, their instinctive awe of a stronger adversary made them retreat.
Everyone on the city walls watched this unfold with great joy in their hearts.
Look, this was their commander, capable of instilling fear even among these ferocious creatures!
Everyone felt an immense pride, their movements becoming faster as they unleashed their abilities.
Each person thought that by killing just a bit more, they could alleviate some of the pressure on John.
They couldn't venture out to fight the enemy directly, but under the protection of the shield, they could achieve all they set out to do.
The Snow Wolf King's eyes blazed a vivid red as it watched John.
At this distance, John could finally see clearly that indeed, there was a creature clinging to the back of the Snow Wolf King.
The creature, about the size of the smallest snow wolf, clung tightly to the king's back, gripping the fur, and its movements seemed to guide the Snow Wolf King's decisions.
Truly, this was the Baize from "Wolves and Baizes in Collusion."
John smirked slightly at the sight of the protrusion.
"If that's the case, let's have a meeting then!"
"Light Sword Rain!"
Countless swords of light gathered in the air, crashing towards the Snow Wolf King.
Enraged, the king howled, taken aback that these seemingly feeble beings dared to attack it directly.
In its attempts to dodge the attacks, it was particularly careful to shield the creature on its back, which made its movements seem awkward and constrained.
The Snow Wolf King's claw swung towards John, but he was unafraid.
With a squelch, the sound of a weapon piercing flesh rang out, and the Snow Wolf King's blood sprayed over John.
At the same time, the king howled in agony and stumbled backwards.
Upon closer inspection, its paw now bore a bloody hole.
John flicked the blood off his Bloodthirsty Blade, feeling a slight regret that the bloodsucking effect hadn't triggered this time.
However, he was quite satisfied with the damage dealt.
With a 100% damage enhancement buff, he was not to be trifled with.
Nearly every strike he delivered carried a hint of the power of control, inflicting greater damage on these monsters.
He was the sovereign of this domain, and although he did not possess 100% of the power of control, his authority naturally suppressed the monsters.
This was why, with just a single strike, the surrounding snow wolves had cowered away.
The Snow Wolf King lunged again, its enormous claws sweeping towards John.
The sharp claws sliced through the air, and John also sensed the unique oppression from the diamond-tier boss.
After all, he was only at the platinum level, and the pressure from the level disparity was tremendously heavy.
The intense pressure felt like a massive mountain crushing down on him, briefly flashing a thought of submission through John's mind.
But that feeling lasted only a moment— the next second, he swung his Bloodthirsty Blade again.
With a resounding crash, the Bloodthirsty Blade clashed against the Snow Wolf King's sharp claws, sparking and ringing like metal on stone.
Neither combatant backed down; instead, they adjusted their stances and charged again.
The surrounding wolves had already retreated far from the fray, viewing it as a battle between two titans, unrelated to them.
They only needed to submit to the stronger power.
The emerald-tier snow wolves wanted to advance, but hesitating upon sensing the scent of the Snow Wolf King's blood on John.
Though possessing some intelligence, it wasn't much.
Now both fighters bore the scent of the Snow Wolf King, and the wolves could not discern which was their true leader.
To them, it seemed a battle for kingship, where only the survivor would command the pack.
After two unsuccessful attacks, the Snow Wolf King was utterly enraged.
It opened its massive jaws and lunged at John, its claws also moving to block all possible escape routes.
A single misstep from John would mean death.
The nearly 5-meter-tall Snow Wolf King loomed like a colossal beast before John, who showed no signs of retreat.
Instead, he charged directly toward the gaping maw of the Snow Wolf King.
Riding the Thorned Rock Serpent, John ascended toward the giant.
Just as he was about to make contact, he deftly dodged aside with a swift leap.
The Serpent burrowed into the Snow Wolf King's mouth, thrashing violently.
The king's mouth, already wounded, now tore open further as the serpent roiled within.
Blood gushed from the gaping wounds, but the Snow Wolf King seemed indifferent to its injuries, brutally crushing the Serpent to dust.
John's Bloodthirsty Blade then slashed from the corner of the Snow Wolf King's mouth backward, leveraging his upward momentum to rip a long gash across its cheek.
8976345—
Massive damage!
The Snow Wolf King's HP dropped visibly, albeit only slightly.
Compared to the terrifying health pool of the Snow Wolf King, this was but a scratch.
Wounded twice in such quick succession, the Snow Wolf King was thoroughly enraged, its eyes nearly bleeding with fury.
It roared desperately, signaling the surrounding wolves to attack once more.
This feeble creature before them must be slain!
