Chapter 45: The Commander—The Kobold Overseer
Sherlock turned into a jungle cat and quietly leaned in, and when he looked closely, a huge kobold carrying a hammer was pointing at a group of kobold miners and reprimanding, and there were two kobold warriors standing one size smaller next to him.
Kobold Overseer (Commander): Level 16
"Sure enough, it's a boss!" Sherlock saw the attributes of the monster under a reconnaissance scroll, and immediately began to think about it in excitement.
With just one kobold overseer, he is not difficult to deal with the two shapes of the jungle cat and the swamp giant frog, but with the two elite monsters around him, it is a bit troublesome, being besieged by three kobolds, even if there is a catwalk, he is not sure that he can dodge all the attacks.
"Let's see if the hatred is chained." Sherlock picks up a stone and throws it at the nearest kobold warrior, if the hatred is chained, he really has to give up the plan to single the boss, but this time his luck seems to be good.
The kobold warrior who was guarding the side was watching the show, when he was suddenly hit by a stone, looked back and found nothing, grunted and walked alone in the direction where Sherlock was.
When he reached the entrance of the passage, Sherlock, who was hiding on the side, was already ready to attack, and his body twisted violently.
"Whew", the blade slashed through the air, and the ice spirit came out.
-52!
As an elite monster, the equipment has obviously improved qualitatively, but fortunately, the texture of the head armor is the lowest, and it can still play weakness damage with the benefit of ice spirit.
When the kobold warrior was attacked, he did not howl like an ordinary monster, but instead stimulated the ferocity in his body, and slashed diagonally with a backhand.
Catwalk! Sherlock dodged the blow with one spike, then lunged behind his opponent, and threw the entanglement technique away.
The weeds instantly entangled the feet of the kobold warrior, firmly controlling the opponent in place, perceiving that as the main attribute of the druid's spell, he was as high as 14 points, and the ordinary wild monster did not have the strength to break free directly.
Taking advantage of these few seconds, Sherlock turned on his wild frenzy, his claws coming out together, and staring at the kobold warrior's key point was a fierce attack.
After four seconds, the effect of the entanglement spell was over, and the kobold warrior who had regained his freedom immediately turned around and swung his sword to sweep away the enemies in front of him.
Sweep: Attacks all enemies in a sector area, dealing 70% physical damage to each target.
The scope of the sweep is still very large, and it is not easy to hide, but Sherlock has no idea of backing down.
The damage of an elite monster sweep will not be very high, and there is no problem with eating hard, but if you withdraw and retreat, although the injury is avoided, it will give the other party a chance to breathe, and the attack rhythm he has been maintaining will also come to an abrupt end, which is a bit more than worth the loss
-42! Sure enough, a slash on his body did not pose a threat to his nearly three hundred health, and he carried the injury and bullied the body to drag the other party into the close combat again.
Although his Ice Spirit has always been used as a primary weapon, it is actually more suitable as an off-hand weapon based on the length of its shape, which is why he has always wanted to learn to fight with dual weapons.
After more than a dozen rounds, the elite monster kobold warrior who was not good at fighting finally died in humiliation under Sherlock's knife, and in such a close fight, the short and sharp ice spirit was indeed better than the powerful long knife.
Sherlock hurriedly picked up three pieces of refined iron ore and a bracer and rested on the rock wall panting, although the battle did not last long, but in order to kill the opponent as soon as possible, he had already used his attack speed to the limit.
The high frequency of knives and displacements greatly increases the load on the body, and the fidelity of up to 90% reflects this state on his body.
"Hu ......" "Hu ......"
After resting for more than a minute, Sherlock's body eased up, and if he was replaced by such a high load of normal people in reality, his body potential would not be able to recover in more than 1 hour.
But in the game, the state of the body is just a reaction on the mental level, so there is no need to be so troublesome.
After resting, he approached the past again, and saw that the boss was still angrily abusing the kobold miner, and he didn't notice that his guard was missing at all, so he repeated the trick and lured out another kobold warrior and solved it smoothly.
This elite monster brought him an extra surprise, in addition to three pieces of iron ore, he even exploded a fine leggings.
Battle Leggings (Fine, Light Armor): Texture 83, Defense 17, Health +30, Strength +2, Requires Level 15
Although the explosion rate of elite monsters has increased, but only two of them have exploded with excellent equipment, Sherlock can only pray in his heart that his character value is still balanced, and there is a bigger one waiting for him next.
After getting rid of the two kobold warriors, only the kobold overseer remained, and Sherlock turned into a swamp frog in his half-human form before he stepped forward again to pull the overseer out.
The boss's high HP bonus means that this battle is unlikely to be as quick as the previous miners and warriors, and the ability to reduce physical consumption in the half-frog form is more suitable for this kind of protracted battle than the high-burst jungle cat form, and the powerful vision brought by the frog eye can also better avoid some crises.
"Miscellaneous, you killed my two guards, and I want you to taste the consequences of angering me." At this time, the kobold overseer finally noticed that his two guards had disappeared, and he shouted angrily.
I didn't expect this thing to speak a lingua franca, Sherlock was stunned for a moment and then concentrated, even if it's just a commander-level, it's also a boss, and it's taboo to take it lightly
Charge! It seems that most of the humanoid monsters or types of humanoids in the early stage will have this skill, and every time they start fighting, they will charge.
Sometimes the purpose of charging is not just to attack, but to get close to the target quickly, and this warrior's magic skill is a nightmare for all spellcasting classes and one of the most desirable skills for other melee classes.
One is that the charge skill will have additional bonuses to strength and agility when used, and some control skills such as slowdown, imprisonment, and paralysis are difficult to take effect.
Second, dodging the charge is not a simple matter of moving the position, the user can make a fine adjustment to the direction of travel during the activation of the skill, so it is also important to dodge the charge and master the timing.
However, this was not a difficult task for Sherlock, this was not the first time he had encountered this skill, and in terms of charging speed, the previous gnolls were much faster than the kobold overseers in front of him.
At this time, in his frog eyes, every movement of the kobold overseer was decomposed into four pictures of different levels and mapped to his brain, and after a quick calculation, he could even simulate every step of the other party.
With a sideways step to dodge the opponent's attack, he raised his hand and threw the entanglement technique towards the calculated position.
That position is the limit distance of the kobold overseer's charge, just when the old force has weakened and the new force is living, the weeds that grow are exactly entangled in its feet, although it was instantly broken in just one moment, but the whole body fell forward due to inertia.
Sherlock had just come up with this move, and although he had embraced the all-free mode of play, he had never thought of intentionally using the laws of inertia in combat, or that he had no idea that the Forgotten Realm would restore these things to the game world.
Theoretically, the entanglement technique only has a faint imprisoning effect, but the kobold miner accidentally tripped over his entanglement technique and gave him this interesting idea in an instant, and it turned out that his conjecture was completely correct, and with the help of frog eyes, an entanglement technique was really used by him to stumble and fall.
But now was not the time to be proud, Sherlock closed the eyes of the giant frog and rushed forward with the ice spirit.
