Chapter 1064: Epoch Hunter

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

“I found myself here when I woke up in the morning. A strange voice told me that I’d have to stay here for some time,” Taretha explained as he she gently touched the arms of Thrall. “Leave with your friends, I’ll be find here.”

Of course, Thrall didn’t agree; he held tightly onto the weapon in his hands.

“Thrall, come out and face your destiny, hahahaha...” a loud voice echoed from the outside. It seemed like a Boss had arrived.

“What is this?” Thrall stared in confusion at the monsters that appeared before him after he rushed out. His knowledge came from humans, but he had never seen a dragon like this.

This was the Epoch Hunter, or as some called it, the Dragon of Eternity.

Appearance wise, the Dragon of Eternity looked like any other dragon. It had claws and wings, and was followed by other dragons of varying sizes.

However, they were all black in color, and every now and then, black beads would surface from their body and spread out into the nearby space.

These dragons had always been a mystery. They had the same capability as the bronze dragons to travel in time, but because they had made many attempts to change crucial events of history, they stood on opposing sides.

Some also said that the Dragon of Eternity was a bronze dragon. Ten thousand years later, the bronze dragons would fall and travel back in time to fight against the current bronze dragons.

“Taretha’s life is in danger; you must be worried. If you want to save her...beg me,” the Epoch Hunter tempted as it flapped its giant wings.

“No,” Thrall refused, shaking his head. “I can achieve the same by killing you, can’t I?”

A murderous intent immediately flashed across the eyes of the Epoch Hunter.

“I wanted to finish you in a more subtle way, but it seems like an upfront encounter can’t be avoided. Your fate ends here, Thrall. You and all your friend will die here!”

Lu Li and the others didn’t sit back doing nothing either. While the two were talking, they quickly ate their bread and drank water to recover their health and mana, while preparing all sorts of food, potions and poisons.

They were about to face the hardest fight in this dungeon.

Lu Li had fought against flying dragons before, so he had some experience that he didn’t hesitate to share with the others.

The Epoch Hunter seemed to be brewing some sort of ultimate spell, and he summoned a wave of Dragonspawn to take damage for him. Once the first wave died, he continued to summon more. After a few waves, his ultimate skill finally ended and he flew towards Thrall.

The dark bolt of energy was covered by specks of silver white lightning and looked terrifyingly powerful.

Thrall was very cautious about it and took a few steps back. However, the energy bolt kept flying faster and faster, until it reached a speed that made Thrall’s anxious heart beat faster.

“Let me handle it,” Lu Li said as he flashed before Thrall and let the energy bolt hit himself.

Immunity!

However, the damage that resurfaced made Lu Li turn cold; it dealt damage more than once. He thought he would be safe due to the immunity provided by his ring, but he had underestimated the situation.

March Rain couldn’t save him in time at all and he dropped to the floor.

Activate Darkmoon Card!

Lu Li made the decision without the slightest hesitation. Followed by a soft white light, his body began to float.

A successful revival!

He looked at his experience bar; it had only grown by 2%. As long as his experience didn’t drop, he was content. Lu Li wasn’t upset about losing a charge on the Darkmoon Card.

“What do we do? The monster is channeling that spell again,” Azure Sea Breeze said as his face went pale.

“We’ll have to roll points. The one with the lowest number will have to block it. Anyone who has blocked it before isn’t counted.”

Lu Li couldn’t do anything about this either; they had to fight with their lives. The ultimate skill of the boss was called Death Timer, and dealt 7500 points of damage every 3 seconds over 15 seconds.

There was no one at the moment who could take this spell and not die, not even Thrall.

The only hope that everyone had was that this spell moved very slowly in the beginning. Although it was impossible to dodge due to its tracking nature, it didn’t prevent players from sacrificing themselves for Thrall. Lu Li tried to use pets to block the spell, but unfortunately, this didn’t work. The spell passed right through them.

This time, Lonesome Flower had the lowest points. He flashed before Thrall and took the spell, not even bothering to defend since he knew he was going to die.

He resurrected with the Darkmoon Card and even smiled.

His experience bar had risen by 7% and his level surpassed his sister, March Rain. He was now placed at number one on the level rankings. As someone who was obsessed with his sister, he had to make sure she admired him.

Lu Li finally understood why Remulos handed a Darkmoon Card to all of them.

“All the ranged players aim for the Boss’ shield, while the melee players clear out the summons. Who’s next to block the skill?”

“Me,” Remnant Dream said as she raised her hands.

“Why are your points so low for someone so lucky.”

Remnant Dream poked out her tongue and watched with interest as the third Death Timer was formed. As soon as the spell appeared, she boosted her movement speed and pounced on it.

The skill landed on her and instantly killed the little Hunter.

After using the Darkmoon Card, she smiled.

“How much?”

“10%!”

“My goodness!” The team was surprised.

Lu Li could comfort himself at first, but now that he had seen what happened to Lonesome Flower and Remnant Dream, he began to question if he had done something wrong in the past to be treated this way.

“There’s still about 30% to the durability of the shield, and probably one more death timer. Make a decision,” Kitty Likes Meat said as she attacked the magic shield on the Boss.

This time, the lowest point total was Lu Li. However, he had already died once, so he wasn’t counted and the task landed on Unforgettable Maple.

“Haha, give me a 10% too. Save me a few day’s work,” Unforgettable Maple laughed.
