Chereads / My Chaotic City / Chapter 59 - Boss Stage

Chapter 59 - Boss Stage

"The attacking Boss is the one from the global event! This is interesting!" 

Li Hanqiang looked at the Space-Time Wormhole. At that moment, an Infernal Tiger had come charging out. 

This Infernal Tiger looked like a Saber-Toothed Tiger but was even more mystical. It was covered in black fur and the tip of its tail and its claws emitted sparks. It left behind burning tracks as it ran. 

Their running speed was extremely fast so it was a good thing that the spawn rate of the Space-Time Wormhole was not too great. Only three to four of them appeared per second. The full 1,000 of them would appear in roughly five minutes. 

Li Hanqiang warily watched this wave of Infernal Tigers and assessed that the difficulty would be much greater than the ninth wave of Uni-horn Tigers. It was a good thing that his Defensive Towers were much stronger than previously. There were four more Sword Towers, four more Bright Lance Dark Arrow Towers, and a Basic Slowing Tower. 

Soon, the Sword Qi cut through the air while the Bright Lances and Dark Arrows fell like rain. The Infernal Tigers quickly fell. 

The Beast Hunter also began to get to work. The Beast Hunter's damage per second was up to 120, its kill efficiency rose greatly.

Rapidly, the first Elite-tier Infernal Tiger appeared. 

These Elite-tier Infernal Tigers were even more mystical than the normal Infernal Tigers. They were much larger, about the size of a water buffalo, and their speed was much greater as well. While they were still nominally Level 20, their HP value was up to 5,000.

Li Hanqiang could be considered to have figured out a few basic rules. A normal monster's HP was naturally 100 times that of its level. As for the Elite-tier monsters, their HP was at least 200 times more and Bosses were even stronger at 500 times or more. 

The Elite-tier Infernal Tiger's HP was 5,000 points, 250 times that of its levels. That meant that it was a decent Elite-tier monster. 

Li Hanqiang had from the first moment, locked onto the Elite-tier Infernal Tiger. He controlled two Bright Lance Dark Arrow Towers to concentrate their fire and easily killed the beast, even gaining a Small Money Pouch in return.

"A monster is a monster. It doesn't know how to block or evade and is basically a target. The Bright Lance Dark Arrow Tower's attack damage can be greatly increased," Li Hanqiang said to himself before he turned to look at young monk Huixin. 

Young monk Huixin had his eyes screwed shut and it seemed like he was mourning for the Elite-tier Infernal Tiger. He was sitting cross-legged, his hands clasped together as he chanted. 

"Chanting?" Li Hanqiang thought, remembering that the young monk had the passive skill to convert monsters attacking the city. Could it possibly be put to use at this time? 

"If he can convert an Elite-tier Infernal Tiger, would that not be a great gain for me?" Li Hanqiang's heart was filled with anticipation as he silently cheered on young monk Huixin.

It was a shame that young monk Huixin could not manage it. Despite chanting for a significant time, he had not managed to convert a single Infernal Tiger. On the other hand, Li Hanqiang had dispatched ten Elite-tier Infernal Tigers and gained ten Small Money Pouches. 

At this time, a deafening roar could be heard from the Space-Time Wormhole. The first stage BOSS, the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger, had finally appeared. 

Li Hanqiang looked over and could not help but be awed, mumbling to himself that a Boss was truly a Boss. The Infernal Three-Headed Tiger had 10,000 HP, looking regal and dangerous. Its eyes looked like it intended to conquer the world and were full of ferocity and coldness. 

Roar, roar, roar…

It roared multiple times as a show of might before it began to charge towards the War Corridor.

"What a Boss!" 

Li Hanqiang yelled. His heart was not dismayed and was instead filled with anticipation. 

Previously when the adventurer player attacked the city, their HP was too low and he slaughtered them like helpless chicks while controlling the towers. When it came to the Elite-tier Infernal Tigers, their HP was only 5000. While it was still a joy to kill them, there was no sense of accomplishment. Now what appeared before him was a very tough BOSS, and he thought to himself that controlling the Towers would make for a very enjoyable experience. 

Of course, with the scene before him, the smaller Infernal Tigers were few in number and there was only one Infernal Three-Headed Tiger attacking. This meant that there was no difference whether he was controlling the towers or not. 

Even though the Fire Tower was a Level 2 Defensive Tower, given the current circumstances, it was no different from a Basic Arrow Tower. A damage value of "-30" appeared above the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger, not even changing its HP Bar. 

This Boss charged forward coldly. However, a trap like that of an alligator's mouth suddenly appeared and clamped onto the Boss' front paw. Following that, a large web descended from the sky and the Beast Hunter's silhouette appeared. The silhouette jumped onto the neck of the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger as it began to beat at it with its fists and kick at it with its legs. 

[Ding, your Beast Hunter has successfully captured the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger and is dealing 120 points of damage to it per second. As the monster is a BOSS, it will escape the Beast Hunter in 10 seconds.]

Li Hanqiang roared in laughter. The Beast Hunter was a Trap Defensive Tower and was best suited to deal with single beast type Monsters. 

"Dumb Boss, die!" 

Following Li Hanqiang's shout, the Basic Slowing Tower, five Sword Towers, and nine Bright Lance Dark Shadow Towers instantly concentrated their firepower. 

-80, -50, -100, -1000…

A large chain of damage values appeared above the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger. This formidable Boss let out a howl as its HP bar was drained and it collapsed to the ground. 

Instant kill! 

Li Hanqiang was slightly disappointed. 

He checked the damage record. Nine Bright Lance Dark Arrow Towers was nine groups of Bright Lances and Dark Arrows. All of them had hit and in a single attack cycle, it had dealt 10,350 points of damage. This was an explosive amount of damage that far exceeded the maximum HP of the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger. It was equivalent to the concentrated firepower of 258 Basic Arrow Towers. If one were to take into consideration the physical defense of the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger, 300 or 400 Basic Arrow Towers would not be able to deal that much damage. 

A global event Boss was so easily dispatched and that was truly embarrassing. 

"The damage is too great!"

Li Hanqiang sighed. He wanted to see what the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger would drop but realized that the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger's body did not spawn any new drops and was now in an invincible state. A timer also appeared above its body, starting from "30" and constantly decreasing…

"What's going on?" Li Hanqiang was confused. 

Young Monk Huixin was on the Chaotic Stone Slab next to the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger. He was only concerned with chanting and it was unclear if he was using his Passive Skill Convert or was so terrified that he could not open his eyes. 

When the timer above the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger ended, a black light began to appear around its body. It suddenly stood up and its HP was at exactly 5000.

"Half health resurrection!" 

Li Hanqiang immediately understood. The Infernal Three-Headed Tiger had the ability to resurrect itself! 

Furthermore, when it just resurrected itself, it was in an invincible state and the Defensive Towers could not attack it. 

It was a shame that the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger was too cocky. After resurrection, all three heads began to roar toward the heavens, as though announcing its return. Therefore, before it finished roaring, it had already lost its invincibility and with clack, the alligator-like beast trap on the ground had clamped onto its rear leg, the Beast Hunter appearing once more. 

Li Hanqiang rushed to stop all the Defensive Towers from attacking and shouted at young monk Huixin, "I'm controlling the towers for ten seconds. Young monk, come one and make a miracle!" 

Young monk Huixin trembled when he heard that. He opened his eyes and looked at the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger, only to be so terrified before screwing his eyes shut again as he began to chant scriptures that Li Hanqiang did not understand even louder. 

Ten seconds passed by very quickly. The Infernal Three-Headed Tiger escaped from the Beast Hunter's trap and roared as it continued its attack. Li Hanqiang sighed to himself and was about to unleash the Defensive Towers once more to finish the job. Suddenly, a golden flash came from the Infernal Three-Headed Tiger and it stopped in its tracks. 

[Ding, your Chief Officer has activated his Passive Skill and has successfully converted a monster attacking your city. The Infernal Three-Headed Tiger has joined your Chaotic City. Congratulations!]
