Cherreads

Chapter 48 - Raid

Red, green and violet energies were rotating on him. His tail is wagging, and on all fours.

Behind him were a pack of Hounds, Hyenas and Foxes that are ready to strike anytime.

"AWOOOOOOOOO!"

Every hound, hyena and fox inside the valley howled.

"You're the leader, huh?"

[Warning. Host, the leader is a Level 20. And by now, your skills are not up to par yet.]

'Shh, Daisy. I know what I am doing.'

Saying this, Zypher took two materials our of his inventory.

[Blood Hound Fang]

[Blood Hyena Fang]

Two fangs, two hands, and two ways to attack.

'Daisy, Appraisal!'

[Blood Cerberus Lvl. 20]

HP - 5000/5000

Status - Enraged

Seeing this, Zypher did the unthinkable.

He threw the fang straight to the Cerberus.

Clang!

-12!

'Haha.'

He laughed inside his head as he saw the damage, yet, instead of being scared, he took another one and threw it.

And for Zypher, who has 10 times the drop rate, he has too many fangs to throw towards Cerberus.

But, then, a boss won't take this lying down.

The Fox Head, who has a green gem on its forehead, howled loudly.

Suddenly, wind came and went away as fast as it did.

For others, this looked like a joke, but for Zypher who had his companions fight this thing, it is the second phase of the fight.

Zypher threw another fang, but the fang, was like thrown into rubber. It did not hit and was bounced back.

This means that the cerberus now is protected against projectiles.

In his past life, his companions almost died to this, because there were mages in the mix, but they can't damage the Cerberus at all.

Even the marksman and snipers did no damage, creating a space for the melee damage dealers.

And so, Zypher was already going to fight in melee.

But then, the second head, the Hound, who has the purple gem on its head, howled.

Suddenly, all of the monsters - fox, hound and hyenas - in the vicinity ran up towards Zypher.

'Tsk!'

With no other choice, Zypher used his stats.

His speed, is 147, his attack is 93.

These monsters are all level 12 and below. This means their overall stat points is 120 and below, and it didn't even touch the threshold of his speed.

And so, each and every one of these hounds were killed in succession.

[Congratulations! You have one-shotted 1,000 Enemies!]

Reward - Title.

[Title - One Man Army.]

Effect - Raises Attack, Speed, Defense and Intelligence by 30% when you face more than one enemy.

[Congratulations! You have killed 1,000 enemies within an hour.]

Reward - Title

[Title - Massacreur]

Effect - Raises Attack Speed, Movement Speed and Critical Strike Chance by 15%.

'Wow, a stat title.'

Titles, have different functions.

First is the Conditional. Like for example, the One Man Army - it only activates if it meets a certain amount of conditions.

The second one is, the Stat Title. It gives a certain amount of stats without the condition. Sometimes, stat titles also gives out certain amount of damage to some monsters or players.

And this stat title gives him so much. Attack speed is the gap between attacks, so much higher attack speed, lower gap between attacks. Movement speed is self-explanatory. Critical Strike Chance is the chance to do a critical strike.

Critical strikes are attacks that deals double damage.

But, Zypher is clearly dealing quadruple damage when he strikes critically.

[Congratulations! You have killed 1,000 enemies by targeting their weak spots.]

Rewards - Title and Ability.

[Title - Exploiter.]

- Deals double damage if a weak point is hit.

And the one that compliments this title, is the skill.

[Ability - Weak Point.]

- sees a weak point on every enemy.

This howling gave Zypher a thousand enemies, but these thousands cannot even compare to his damage.

And now, with his new ability, he can now see the weak points of the enemies, added with the Essence Tracker of Lysander, and the Scientific Goggle of Daisy, he can "see" almost everything.

These abilities complimented each other, and adding the power of the 1.8 APH that gave him twice the sensing power, his eyes were practically like scanners that can see everything.

With Lysander and Daisy suppressing the 1.8 APH and vice versa, they arrived at an equilibrium that gives Zypher the best data possible.

Within a few minutes, bodies were strewn all upon the floor, and the reaper is there, holding two fangs.

After a moment, when the other monsters saw that there is a monster stronger than them, they decided to back up.

And although the Hyena Head, with the red crystal on it's forehead, boosted them, Zypher just one shotted them all the time.

Weak Point, and Critical Strike.

These two just quadruples the damage, and gives Zypher an easy time killing them.

But, there is also a problem in his side.

Stamina.

These are the three main energies of a player: Health, Stamina, and Mana.

Health, is indicator of danger and healthiness of a player. Low health means danger, and is the ones being chipped when damaged.

Mana, is the energy to control skills. It becomes lower when the player uses a skill, a spell, a manifestation or sometimes, by abilities.

And the last one, is Stamina. This energy is expended when a player moves, or make movements.

And so, balancing these three is a task for ordinary players.

Pro players have another mindset - if I can survive then I am willing to use everything.

This mindset gave them a 75% of having a way to escape everything. The 25% is the timing of when they will fight, run or empty their energies.

As long as there is 1 HP left, they will give everything to win, or escape.

But, for the ones in Zypher's circle, they do not care for these ones.

His stamina is long gone, and his movements are now sluggish.

He can hit weak points, but because of the Stamina Deficiency, he can only deal half the damage - but half the damage is still twice the normal damage, because of Weak Point and Critical Strike.

There were also times that he missed the weak points, but this just made him attack the enemy twice.

But, what Zypher was waiting for came in a package. He smiled as he saw the notification.
