The dark ghost charged at Xiao Yu with a roar. Xiao Yu turned around and fled right away.
None of his skills had finished their cool-downs yet, and he only had 33% health left. Xiao Yu was not foolish enough to fight against the creature in close-range combat. He reached the top of a sand slope as fast as he could.
But the dark ghost was truly fast. It only took the creature an instant to arrive next to Xiao Yu. Seeing the huge body of the dark ghost coming closer, Xiao Yu bent his legs slightly and jumped off the sand slope.
He rolled down the slope like a tumbling log after he dodged the attack of the dark ghost. He landed on the ground after tumbling down the sand slope. Feeling dizzy, Xiao Yu staggered to his feet and then ran forward as quickly as his legs could carry him.
Roar!!!
The dark ghost jumped down from the sand slope, but it pounced on an empty space and landed on the ground at the bottom of the sand slope. No sooner had the creature stood on its feet did it start to pursue in Xiao Yu's direction.
Two seconds… one second… the dark ghost drew nearer.
Hiding skill!
Finding that the cool-down of his hiding skill was done, Xiao Yu used the hiding skill again to evade the attack of the dark ghost, disappearing from sight.
The dark ghost roared in anger when it found Xiao Yu had disappeared again in front of its eyes. The creature punched the sandy ground with its claws, and countless sand grains landed on Xiao Yu, making a "pah" sound when they hit him.
"Damn! I've been discovered." The striking sand grains showed Xiao Yu's exact position. With a furious roar, the dark ghost charged at him.
Boom!!!
The dark ghost slapped Xiao Yu with a claw, sending him flying. He landed heavily on the ground with a "thud."
He had 2% health left. Xiao Yu quickly drank the instant health potion he had prepared for this occasion, and his health had instantly returned to full.
He didn't have time to mull over if consuming a vial of instant health potion in order to kill a dark ghost was worth it. However, if he hadn't done so, he would have been finished for sure.
For a chance to survive, Xiao Yu would rather consume this instant health potion.
After his health recovered, Xiao Yu ran as fast as he could while staring at the cool-down times of his skills. The backstabbing skill was done, and so were the evisceration and reversed backstabbing skills.
The dark ghost behind him didn't give up chasing him and rushed over with a roar. Xiao Yu turned around and retreated backward while facing the creature.
"I have to pull this off. Otherwise, I won't have another chance." Seeing the large body of the dark ghost leaping at him, Xiao Yu backed up a few steps and bent down a little. The force in his body suddenly burst out as if it were an exploding bomb, and he unleashed a tremendous amount of energy.
Roar!!!
Xiao Yu uttered a wild-animal like growl as the muscles in his right arm quivered.
Xiao Yu had no way to retreat right now, and so he believed that he should die a splendid death if he couldn't succeed.
Reversed backstabbing!
The pupils in his eyes enlarged suddenly. It was at this moment that he could clearly see the dark and gloomy eyes of the dark ghost before him. He rotated his body to barely brush past the sharp claws of the dark ghost. He could feel excruciating pain on his shoulder, but he couldn't care so much about pain at the moment. His dagger arched in the air and struck the back of the dark ghost with enormous force.
System: the success rate of reversed backstabbing is 100%, causing 300% skill damage and an armor-breaking effect.
"I was not interrupted this time. I've done it!" Xiao Yu felt his heart agitate a little.
Three hundred and eighty-nine points of damage emerged from the head of the dark ghost. Xiao Yu had lost 30% health after he was scratched by the claw of the dark ghost.
It seemed that the energy in his body hadn't fully released yet. Taking advantage of the pent-up energy, Xiao Yu rotated again and increased the force of the dagger as a red flash appeared on the blade.
Backstabbing!
He rotated by 180 degrees rather than 60 degrees. His body, seemingly guided by an enigmatic force, carried out the backstabbing skill in a strange but powerful way.
Xiao Yu, relying completely on his muscle coordination and fast reaction, had used the combo of reversed backstabbing and backstabbing, of which he wasn't even aware. He had done so unconsciously, and he had no idea whether it would be effective or not.
He was struck by an idea that the fighting model of close-range combat in the Legend of Enzes was not totally freestyle, but half freestyle. The game programmer offered some guidance for the players. The reason he had used the reversed backstabbing successfully was that he was guided by the game programmer.
Sizzle!!!
A stinky smell came out from behind the dark ghost as blood splashed all over Xiao Yu's face.
System: the success rate of backstabbing is 102%, causing 110% skill damage and 10-second bleeding effect. Player gains three combo attack points due to the successful completion of the combo attack of reversed backstabbing and backstabbing.
Xiao Yu had no time to check the notification of the system. Seeing 213 points of damage emerging from the head of the dark ghost, Xiao Yu was aware that he had succeeded.
The dark ghost let out a painful wail because he was badly injured by Xiao Yu's attacks.
The dark ghost turned around and leaped at Xiao Yu. Though its attack was not as powerful as before, the creature was still quite formidable.
Little was left of the dark ghost's health bar, and Xiao Yu had 70% of his health remaining. Seeing the dark ghost swatting away with its claw, Xiao Yu didn't step backward but charged forward instead. The dagger in his right hand forcefully stabbed at the dark ghost's eye. Xiao Yu was full of anger and cold intent.
Xiao Yu didn't feel any fear at the moment as he believed that he would die if he couldn't kill the creature.
Evisceration!
Xiao Yu completed the last skill as his chest was hit by a powerful blow, and he was knocked down. He had only completed 53% of the evisceration skill.
Xiao Yu landed on the ground heavily. After wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, Xiao Yu checked his health: 5% left. Feeling startled, he didn't expect the dark ghost to have unleashed a burst attack, knocking out 65% of his health.
After being hit by the evisceration attack, 221 points of damage popped up over the dark ghost's head. However, the dark ghost was not dead yet. It flung itself at Xiao Yu even though it was staggering a little.
Seeing the dark ghost charging at him, Xiao Yu was terrified. He climbed up from the ground and began to run away. With 5% health left, he couldn't afford to be struck again by the dark ghost.
-20
-20
Damage points kept emerging from the head of the dark ghost one after the other. The creature couldn't hold up any longer in the end and dropped onto the ground with a thud.
Xiao Yu was relieved when he saw the increasing experience points in his experience bar. He panted heavily as he sat on the ground. He had finally killed the dark ghost.
