Chapter 210 - Slaughter Fiend Medallion (Thief)
Nie Yan was absolutely confident in his ability to kill Scaled Frogs. Especially since leveling up, his speed had increased a lot, and he could disregard even a Lord-cla.s.s Scaled Frog. Now that there was only a one-level gap between them, he would no longer need to rely on anything but the blade in his hand.
Under the cover of stealth, Nie Yan crept up to the Lord-cla.s.s Scaled Frog until he was only ten meters away. The monster still hadn’t noticed Nie Yan, who then scanned it with Transcendent Insight.
| Scaled Frog (Lord): Level 30 Health: 50,000/50,000 |
Nie Yan estimated that it would only take him twenty minutes to whittle down this Scaled Frog’s health. Back when Tang Yao had first taken down one of these, it had taken him a full ten hours. Although his lower level and damage output at the time was part of this disparity, no Mage’s cast speed could compare to the rapid-fire offense of a Thief. Additionally, Nie Yan could now induce high amounts of continuous damage using Splitting Edge to cause bleed and the Scarlet Poison Ring to inflict poison. With these items, just a casual attack could cause an enemy to lose 50 hitpoints per second, which would increase to over 70 or even 80 health per second when stacked with a bleed skill like Eviscerate. Just the continuous damage alone would take a huge chunk of the boss’s health. Unlike attack damage, continuous damage ignored defense. This made it especially effective on high-level monsters with tough defenses.
“You be careful then,” Yao Yao fretted. She was worried about Nie Yan’s safety.
“Don’t worry.” With a faint curve of his mouth, Nie Yan snuck up behind the Lord-cla.s.s Scaled Frog. The monster had just felt something and was about to turn around to investigate when Nie Yan suddenly rushed at him with a burst of speed and struck out with a Concussive Blow.
The Scaled Frog froze in place, having been stunned for a couple of seconds.
Nie Yan’s dagger stabbed into the monster’s back with an Eviscerate, cutting it open and causing blood to spurt out.
