Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 4)

Chapter 713 - Diffusion Crystal

"GROOOH!" The Kong King raised its arms to the sides and performed a double lariat, as though it were a character in a fighting game. The whirling fists caught Bladelight, Smoke Stub, and Lei Su off guard and knocked them off their feet.

Seeing the Kong King was about to charge out, Nie Yan had Lil' Gold go up.

BOOOOM! The two enormous beasts collided.

The Kong King lashed out with a flurry of violent blows. Refusing to show weakness, Lil' Gold retaliated by swiping out with its claws.

Explosive Counter!

Explosive Counter!

Violent tempests erupted out from Lil' Gold. With the Kong King attacking at such a high frequency, it was much more likely for Explosive Counter to be triggered. The damage from this skill couldn't be ignored, especially since it got upgraded.

Lil' Gold's health was fairly high. With Paladin Lafus supporting him from the rear, tanking the Kong King for a short time wouldn't be an issue.

Lil' Gold had given Bladelight, Smoke Stub, and Lei Su a moment to catch their breath. The three immediately rushed back in and surrounded the Kong King.

Execution!

Execution!

The trio didn't let up. Even though the success rate of Execution was pitifully low, it was bound to succeed eventually!

Hell Execution!

Hell Execution!

Nie Yan repeatedly slashed the Kong King with Zennarde's Sword, until finally the black flames shrouding the blade blazed brightly.

−5,352,098!

"GROOAaaaoh...!" The Kong King staggered unsteadily before crashing into the ground.

「We did it! Who got the last hit?」Undying Scoundrel excitedly asked.

「It was the boss.」

A crisp notification jingle rang out. Nie Yan glanced down at his character information. He had reached Level 109. Lately, he had been busy dealing with guild affairs. Apart from gaining a few levels from killing some skeletons, he'd basically stagnated in that area. It was about time he started levelling again.

The fallen Kong King's corpse was like a small hill.

Nie Yan collected three items off the ground. Two were pieces of Warrior equipment, the Mountain Guardian Chestplate and Mountain Guardian Gauntlets. Both were Level 180 Sub Legendary-grade. The third item was a green crystal.

"It's a Diffusion Crystal!" Nie Yan exclaimed in surprise.

Diffusion Crystals were extremely precious. They only dropped from Level 180+ Lord-class monsters with a 1 in 3,000 chance.

Diffusion Crystals were priceless treasures in the marketplace in the previous timeline. As for its applications, Nie Yan wasn't too knowledgeable. However, he did know it was one of the key catalysts for Grandmaster Tinkerers to craft Inferno Bombs.

With the guild offering an endless supply of materials and the help of the Wish Necklace, Violet Mist had already become a Grandmaster Tinkerer, the one and only in both the Viridian Empire and Satreen Empire.

Nie Yan planned to have Violet Mist start crafting Inferno Bombs.

With the Inferno Bombs in mind, a plan to powerlevel formed in Nie Yan's mind. Unlike most magic bombs, Inferno Bombs were especially terrifying in the single-target damage they dealt. So, it was an extremely useful supplementary tool for taking on powerful monsters.
