Although they all let out roars.
They did not find any abnormalities.
All began to move irregularly in anger.
Among them, two stealthy vampire sentinels collided with each other.
The next second, they began to tear at each other, and when they realized they were of the same kind.
They pushed each other away, and let out guttural snorts from their noses.
Many others experienced the same situation.
Seeing this, Chu Tian felt as if he had discovered a new continent.
While the Moonlight Fire flashed, although it attracted their attention, it also acted as a flashbang.
Causing these creatures, accustomed to the dark, to be temporarily blinded.
Amidst this chaos, a massive werewolf appeared at the entrance to the second floor.
It was clearly attracted as well.
As soon as it appeared, Chu Tian hurled his Scout spell at it.
[Ralph]
Grade: Commander
Level: 55
Health: 825000/825000
Attack: 6700
Defense: 5700
Skills: Bloodlust, Bite, Claw Strike, Rend, Enrage, Vampirism.
Special Skill: Frenzied Claw Strike.
Frenzied Claw Strike: Creates phantom images rapidly around the enemy; each phantom deals 50% of physical attack damage. Duration is infinite, but can be interrupted by crowd control skills.
Description: Ralph is the guardian of the first floor of Blood Castle and a loyal guard of the Blood King. As long as the King exists, they can resurrect after a certain period.
This werewolf commander named Ralph was even more formidable than the Bloodthirsty Wolves from before. Not only was its grade one level higher,
It also possessed the special skill, Frenzied Claw Strike.
Can't afford to provoke... can't I just hide?
As Ralph stood by the corpse of a small bat, Chu Tian quickly hugged the wall and circumvented the stealthy vampire guards, arriving at the stairs to the second floor.
As soon as he turned the corner, he froze.
An iron gate had fallen there.
He pushed forward slightly.
[Ding... System Notification: Entrance to Blood Castle's second floor discovered, it is locked. Ralph's key is required to open it.]
Damn it...
Chu Tian was completely dumbfounded.
That Ralph was actually the gatekeeper.
How could he possibly fight such a powerful monster?
If it didn't have bloodsucking, Chu Tian would still dare to try.
With 30% bloodsucking, it was simply impossible to deal with.
After thinking for a moment, he took out the [Demonic Universal Key] from his backpack.
He hadn't used this item since the Mage gave it to him.
He decided to try if it could open the lock.
He inserted the universal key into the keyhole.
Oh... oh... ah... it's in...
Chu Tian's eyes lit up, and he shouted inwardly.
A countdown progress bar appeared on the lock.
One second... two seconds...
The universal key was constantly shifting.
After more than twenty seconds, the progress bar finally reached 99.9%.
[Ding... System Notification: Key level insufficient, cannot open!]
Damn it...
Chu Tian cursed inwardly, "If you can't open it, just tell me directly, okay?"
I've pulled down my pants and inserted it.
And now you're telling me the model doesn't match, what does that mean?
*Click click...* The universal key emitted two faint sounds.
Chu Tian flinched, seeing it retract from the keyhole and fall towards the ground.
Startled, he quickly snatched the key.
Cold sweat broke out on his back.
In the deathly silence of the castle, those two *click click* sounds just now
Were already jarring. What if it fell on the ground?
After storing the key, he went into stealth and slowly prepared to leave the stairwell.
He would find another way outside; it seemed he would have to defeat that fellow named Ralph.
The key would definitely be in his drops.
One step... two steps... three steps...
At the corner.
His raised forepaw had not yet landed.
A figure appeared, blocking Chu Tian's path.
Chu Tian looked up and met Ralph's gaze.
He lowered his head, as if pondering, what kind of creature this leopard was?
*Swoosh...*
The leopard's forepaw swept forward, clawing towards the enemy.
Before his stealth was broken, he raked across the opponent.
A five-second stun took effect.
A Level 55 Commander monster, being suppressed by Chu Tian.
With a sweep, it instantly entered a bleeding state, and each tick dealt over 600 damage.
Seeing this, Chu Tian's eyes narrowed.
It... wasn't as strong as he had imagined.
He moved his body, positioning himself behind it.
Rend... Rend...
-9449!
-16259!
Rend's base damage is 200% of physical attack.
Combined with the Divine Talent, Spirit Condensing's attribute: Skill effects increased by 50%.
Rend became 300% of physical attack.
And now Chu Tian's Rend was Level 17.
The damage increased to 217%.
Including the Divine Talent Spirit Condensing's bonus, it reached a staggering 325.5% of physical damage.
These two Rends dealt explosive damage.
Seeing these numbers, Chu Tian was first taken aback, but then, a moment later.
He laughed. The leopard's mouth split into a grin that reached its ears.
That smile looked more like baring bloody teeth than genuine amusement.
Perhaps his long habit of fighting monsters above his level had made him instinctively want to evade, to use glitches.
He hadn't faced an enemy head-on in such a long time.
So much so that he bypassed a Level 55 monster.
After four Rends, he accumulated four energy stars.
Starting with a sweep also yielded one energy star.
Exactly five stars, full.
The leopard leaped.
Its hind legs pushed off Ralph's waist.
-985!
-695!
Sharp claws dug into its muscles.
They even dealt damage equivalent to a normal claw strike.
Using this boost, the leopard straightened its body, its forepaws resting on Ralph's shoulders.
Its sharp claws extended with a *scccrrrape*!
And firmly gripped it.
-564!
-7185! Red critical damage, triggering the Fatal Talent.
Because Ralph stood over three meters tall, Chu Tian, in this posture, was just level with the enemy.
Fierce Bite...
*CRACK*, the leopard bit down on Ralph's cervical spine.
[Ding... System Notification: Fierce Bite, completion level: Perfect! Gained +10 skill experience!]
[Ding... System Notification: Fierce Bite level increased, reaching Level 4!]
-507078! Red critical damage, triggering the Fatal Talent.
"Aooo..."
Ralph's five-second stun from the sweep ended.
Ralph cried out in pain, swinging its claws to grab Chu Tian, who was on its back.
Chu Tian, who had flipped and landed, thought: Close call, almost got grabbed!
But his eyes were filled with excitement.
A Fierce Bite dealt over five hundred thousand damage.
He wanted to shout loudly: Who else?
At this moment, Ralph's health was: 251458/825000.
Only five seconds...
Chu Tian's attack power in leopard form was now: 4647-6736.
Fierce Bite Lv.3
Attributes: Finishing move. Consumes accumulated energy stars to deal massive damage to the enemy. Usable with 1 star, deals 103%-203% physical damage. Each additional star increases damage by 13%-53%. (Higher completion results in higher damage.)
When Chu Tian cast it just now, the completion level was Perfect.
Meaning it could deal maximum damage.
A 1.5x damage bonus for critical hits.
The Divine Talent, Fatal, increased the damage by another five times.
It was all luck, and everything coinciding together that resulted in that extraordinary damage.
However, this single blow was enough for Chu Tian to brag about for a while.
In fact, it was mainly because his level far surpassed the monster's level.
The crushing effect significantly increased his critical hit chance against the lower-level Ralph.
Moreover, there were no misses!
Having suffered a surprise attack from Chu Tian and lost more than half its health, Ralph instantly activated its Bloodlust and Berserk skills.
Its body lunged fiercely towards Chu Tian.
A blur followed behind it.
Chu Tian knew that it had also activated the Frenzied Claw Strike skill.
He did not panic, a smile playing on his lips.
Just as the enemy was about to reach him.
He transformed... into Bear Form!
Slam!
Ralph's body directly slammed into Chu Tian. In bear form, Chu Tian was two meters tall and over four meters long.
As soon as he transformed, the entire corridor became crowded.
The giant bear stood on its hind legs, its two paws stacked together.
With one swipe, it slammed Ralph's small body to the ground.
*Bang...*
Ralph grunted, a muffled sound escaping its nose.
Slam skill effect: No damage, 3-second stun.
This was no longer in doubt...
