Chapter 7 Golden Relic: Burning Blood, Invincible!
Elite Monster: Goblin Giant (HP 48/48)
[Battle begins! Round one, your turn!]
The cold system notification sounded, and the hand was refreshed instantly.
Lin Ye glanced at his hand and a smile appeared on his lips.
Corruption, Barrier, Double Strike, and two defensive cards.
Another perfect start.
He turned to look at Su Qingyue, his tone crisp and decisive.
"Don't just stand there! Play all the poison cards, max out the poison stacks!"
Su Qingyue nodded immediately, looked at the two Poison cards in her hand, and without any hesitation, played them both on the goblin giant.
The [Neutralize] skill applies 1 stack of Poison and 1 stack of Weakness, effectively applying it to the goblin.
[Deadly Poison] is applied, instantly stacking 5 layers of poison!
In an instant, the goblin's green skin turned a deep, dark green, and he was covered in six layers of poison!
At the end of each round, it automatically loses 6 HP, and it just won't stop!
After finishing her card game, Su Qingyue immediately retreated behind Lin Ye, her eyes fixed on the goblin giant opposite her. Her heart was pounding, but she felt no fear whatsoever.
She knew that with Lin Ye around, she would be safe.
Next up is Lin Ye's performance time.
Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and played his core divine card again—[Corruption]!
[Card effect triggered: Corruption! For the rest of this battle, all your skill cards cost 0! At the start of each turn, lose 1 health!]
The crimson light once again merged into his body, and Lin Ye immediately raised his hand and played his second skill card—[Barrier]!
[Card effect triggered: Barrier! The block you gain this turn will be permanently retained and will not be cleared at the end of the turn!]
Free! Get it for free!
The moment the card was played, Su Qingyue gasped, her eyes widening in shock.
A block is permanently saved?!
With the addition of corrupted 0-cost skill cards, wouldn't that mean Forest Wilderness could stack Block infinitely, forever?!
There's no way this goblin can break through the defense!
Before she could recover from her shock, Lin Ye continued his actions.
He raised his hand and played two defensive cards, then threw out the 0-cost [Unyielding], frantically throwing out skill cards, and the block value above his head skyrocketed!
10 points!
20 points!
30 points!
In an instant, Lin Ye gained 32 points of permanent block!
His initial 3 points were still full, and he hadn't spent a single penny!
Immediately afterwards, he used his remaining 3 points of mana to unleash [Double Strike], stacking 2 points of strength, and slammed it down on the goblin giant, dealing a full 18 points of damage!
[The goblin giant has taken 18 damage! Current health: 30/48!]
Your turn is over! The monster's turn begins!
As expected, the goblin giant followed the fixed cycle, not launching an attack, but simply roaring and gaining 8 points of armor for himself.
Immediately afterwards, the poisoning effect was triggered!
[The goblin giant has taken 6 points of poison damage! Current health: 24/48!]
In just one round, the goblin's full 48 health points were reduced by half!
Lin Ye and Su Qingyue, on the other hand, did not bleed a single drop!
It has a permanent block of 32 points above its head, as steady as a mountain. Not to mention the 16 points of base damage, even if it stacks two layers of strength, it can't break through the defense!
Seeing this, Su Qingyue's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was completely relieved, and her eyes were filled with excitement and joy.
too strong!
Really too strong!
The elite monsters that strike fear into the hearts of players worldwide, killing them with a single touch, are in Lin Ye's hands without even a chance to fight back!
Round Two, Your Turn!
As the system notification faded, Lin Ye looked at the goblin with only 24 health points left and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"it's over."
He didn't even need to play skill cards anymore; he used all 3 points in his hand to play attack cards.
The stacked power-up attack cards could each deal more than 10 points of damage. After three cards, they directly broke through the goblin's armor and reduced its health to single digits.
Su Qingyue followed up with her attack, using her last [Neutralize] card to apply another layer of poison and finish off the last bit of damage.
[The goblin giant has taken 5 points of damage! Killed!]
[Battle over!]
[You have defeated the elite monster: Goblin Giant without taking any damage!]
[Rewards: 50 Gold Coins, Golden Relic [Burning Blood]!]
[Hidden blessing effect triggered! First kill of an elite monster grants an extra 30 gold!]
The moment the system notification sound ended, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the goblin's corpse and landed steadily in Lin Ye's hand.
It was a blood-red badge gleaming with a scorching golden light, engraved with ferocious patterns. It was the exclusive relic of the T0-level BOSS at the start of the game for warriors—[Burning Blood]!
Lin Ye looked at the belongings in his hand, and the smile on his lips deepened.
Make big!
In a normal game, this item only has a chance to drop from the final boss of the first floor!
The very first elite monster appeared right at the start!
[Relic: Burning Blood (Gold Rare)]
[Effect: After each battle, you will recover all your health!]
Upon seeing the effect of the relic, Su Qingyue screamed, her eyes widening in disbelief.
"My god! Restores full health after every battle?! That's insane!"
"With this, we won't have to worry about losing health when fighting monsters anymore! We'll be fully healed after each fight, it's like having unlimited health!"
Lin Ye nodded, collected the burning blood, and integrated it into his body.
That's right, this is the best relic a warrior can start with, bar none.
With this, he no longer needs to worry about the 1 point of health loss per turn caused by corruption.
The system fully restores your health at the end of each battle, effectively erasing all negative effects!
Just then, two cold, loud system announcements, like thunderclaps from the heavens, slammed into the minds of 70 billion people worldwide, sending chills down everyone's spines!
[Global Announcement! Congratulations to players Lin Ye and Su Qingyue for achieving the world's first elite monster kill! Reward: +1 Life, unlock access to all floors of the map!]
[Global Announcement! Congratulations to players Lin Ye and Su Qingyue for achieving the world's first no-damage kill of an elite monster! Reward: Relic Treasure Chest Key x1, Spire Reputation +100!]
Two announcements, one after another, caused a huge stir!
Instantly, the world chat channel, which had been flooded with messages, fell into a deathly silence.
Three full seconds later, the entire channel exploded, reaching a fever pitch, with the screen freezing due to the rapid-fire of comments!
"Holy crap? World's first kill of an elite monster? Did I hear that right?"
"I'm fucking dumbfounded! We can't even beat regular mobs, and they've already killed elite monsters without taking any damage? Is this the difference between people?!"
"Lin Ye? Su Qingyue? Who are these two? Wow, pros! Need a guide! Need someone to carry me!"
"Damn it! I was just one-shotted by a goblin, losing all three of my lives, and he's already killed me without taking any damage? Is he cheating?"
