Chapter 364, Shadow Soul Reaper

Translator: Silavin

 

Lu Fan watched the scene, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

 

Though the opponent was fierce and aggressively targeted him, with how strong he was, he did not really need Ye Wuxian’s protection.

 

However, this Monster appeared to indeed be extraordinary. The other Monsters all hid their forms in the shadow mist, waiting to ambush others.

 

As for this Monster, it was different. It directly attacked, trying to entangle Lu Fan with its hooked sickle, completely unlike typical Shadow Isle Monsters.

 

The sickle was caught by Ye Wuxian and could not be retracted, which Andrei and the other three Fourth Profession Players clearly saw.

 

Seeing this sickle, the four obviously lost their earlier composure.

 

“Is it that Boss!?” The Demonic Feather spoke first, his eyes glowing like an eagle, with a faint light in them. He was looking toward the other end of the sickle, seeming able to see through the darkness to find its owner.

 

The other two Fourth Profession Players were also fully alert, standing in front of Andrei, not giving the opponent any opportunity to attack the Young Master.

 

Andrei himself held his warhammer, and activated the second stage of his Flame God True Form, clearly treating this as a major threat.

 

Lu Fan remained calm, asking. “What are you all so up in arms about? Is this some extraordinary Boss?”

 

“You could say that.” Andrei said, gripping his warhammer tightly. “Last time we came to explore Shadow Isle, we encountered this Boss and suffered serious casualties. It alone had forced us to retreat.”

 

“It is a Level 85 Diamond Grade Boss called Shadow Soul Reaper. It is extremely difficult to deal with. Last time we encountered it, we nearly lost a Fourth Profession Player.”

 

Lu Fan was puzzled and asked: “A Level 85 Diamond Grade Boss is indeed strong, but Fourth Profession Players should still be able to escape safely when encountering one, right?”

 

Andrei smiled bitterly and explained. “There’s something you don’t know. Last time, when we encountered it, we were much deeper inside Shadow Isle. At that time, our Attributes were decreasing rapidly. The three Priests could not keep up with the Cleansing. So during that battle, we were at a major disadvantage. If we had not run fast enough, you might not have been able to see me again.”

 

Lu Fan nodded and said. “I see…”

 

Even with three Fourth Profession Players and multiple Third Profession Players, having their Attributes severely weakened indeed made it difficult to contend with this Level 85 Diamond Grade Boss.

 

At this point, the Demonic Feather was visibly anxious and said to Lu Fan. “Last time we encountered the Shadow Soul Reaper, we suffered greatly and lost several people. Meeting it in the outer region now is actually a good thing. This is the best opportunity to kill it. But, our Attributes have already dropped to about 70%, so dealing with a Boss of this Level won’t be easy. Didn’t you say your Pet Dragon could function as a Priest? Quickly remove the Debuff so we can kill this Boss!”

 

Though his words were cordial enough, Lu Fan could clearly sense that he had been somewhat dissatisfied with him throughout their journey.

 

Because from the start, when everyone’s Attributes were weakened by the shadow mist, Lu Fan had not let Xiao Cui cleanse their Debuff. Now, upon encountering a Boss, this person took the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction.

 

This was understandable, and Lu Fan did not blame him.

 

Lu Fan drew out a Summoning Array to summon Xiao Cui, while saying. “Let us handle this Boss. We just need to use one Skill anyway.”

 

After speaking, the Summoning Array formed and Xiao Cui flew out, staying close to Lu Fan’s side.

 

“Xiao Cui, don’t cling onto me now, remove everyone’s Debuff, then release Spring of Life and Jade Shield.” Lu Fan stroked Xiao Cui, showing no sign of facing a major enemy.

 

“Oh right, also let’s bring out one of the Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon Kings, as I’ll be joining the battle too.”

 

As soon as Lu Fan gave the command, Xiao Cui perfectly executed it.

 

Instantly, Jade Light, Spring of Life, and Jade Shield were applied to everyone present.

 

The Debuff from the shadow mist was instantly cleared by Jade Light, and everyone’s Attributes received an extremely High Enhancement, surging dramatically!

 

The ‘fueling’ Effect provided by the Spring of Life Skill also swept away the fatigue from the three Fourth Profession Players, who had been fighting continuously, restoring them to peak condition.

 

While they were not clear about the specific Effects of the Jade Shield Skill, they could see it was clearly a Defensive Skill.

 

Just the Jade Light Skill alone, which cleared Debuffs and provided a huge Attribute Enhancement, left everyone astounded.

 

This was a Support Skill from a Dragon!? Why was it so overpowered!?

 

Although the shadow mist’s Debuff would continue to accumulate and their Attributes would continue to fall, at least now, the Debuff had been momentarily Cleansed and everyone’s Attributes had at least doubled compared to their peak!

 

Not just Andrei’s group, even Ye Wuxian was amazed and surprised by Xiao Cui’s Skills.

 

She did not have that many chances to fight alongside Lu Fan before, so she had never experienced Xiao Cui’s Enhancement Skills.

 

“These are Xiao Cui’s Enhancement Skills? How incredible! I’ve never felt such overwhelmingly High Attributes before…” Ye Wuxian said with a smile after expressing her surprise. “With just Xiao Cui, I feel like I could definitely win against Huang Yutian if I fought against him again!”

 

“Hehe!” Lu Fan laughed, “When the time comes, I’ll have Xiao Cui Buff you and let you personally give Huang Yutian a beating.”

 

As he spoke, along with Xiao Cui summoning a Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King. Lu Fan also equipped him with a Dragon Saddle, making him Rideable.

 

The three Fourth Profession Players were already shocked speechless by Lu Fan’s Pet Dragon’s overpowered Enhancement Skills. Yet, now, Lu Fan had summoned another Combat Specialised Pet Dragon. This left them feeling even more incredulous.

 

If a Support Specialised Dragon’s Skills were this overpowered, how terrifying would a Combat Specialised Dragon’s power be?

 

The three Fourth Profession Players unconsciously gulped, wanting to see what kind of power this Dragon Tamer could display.

 

However at this moment, Andrei’s words left them completely stunned.

 

“Brother Lu, why did you summon this Dragon this time? Where’s your Black Dragon, and that Starry Sky Dragon that could tear apart Transport Arrays with its bare claws?” Andrei had not seen Lu Fan’s Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King before, only having seen Xiao Ye and Xing Chen.

 

Seeing Lu Fan summon a Dragon that was not Xiao Ye or Xing Chen, naturally had him asking questions.

 

Lu Fan smiled and replied. “A mere Level 85 Diamond Grade Boss does not warrant those two. Just this casually brought out Dragon will be enough to kill it.”
