Chapter 41 : Golden Skeleton (4).

Translator’s note: BM means bad manner. It’s used as a verb in the gaming community, and it literally means to do bad mannered acts.

­ Golden Skeleton (4)

Hyrkan’s plan was to make the Golden Skeleton hunting team reluctant to continue or to stop their hunt. If they did continue, they would surely make one of them face the Golden Skeleton while the rest fought against him.

Hyrkan’s target was the one person left to aggro the Golden Skeleton.

He placed two Skeleton Warriors and a Skeleton Magician on the east side in their defense mode. Hyrkan himself prepared to cause a ruckus on the west side along with another Skeleton Warrior. It was literally threatening the east while striking the west*.

[T/N: Korean idiom derived from Chinese (聲東擊西)].

The battle had begun when Hyrkan snapped his fingers twice.

While Hyrkan distracted the four members of the Golden Skeleton hunting team, his two Skeleton Warriors and a Skeleton Magician charged towards the swordsman facing the Golden Skeleton.

The starting signal was the Fireboom used by the Skeleton Magician. Fireboom exploded between the Golden Skeleton and the swordsman, and the two Skeleton Warriors quickly attacked the swordsman’s helmet and side with their hammers.

Although the two Skeleton Warrior’s attacks weren’t light, the final blow was dealt by the Golden Skeleton. With its height of 4 meters, it swung its long arms holding its long sword like a whip.

Crack!

The thick shoulder pad on their swordsman’s left shoulder broke apart like a piece of paper. The armor was crushed, and the Golden Skeleton’s attack seemed powerful enough to sever the man’s arm.

“Shit!”

The swordsman momentarily felt a shocking pain on his shoulder. In Warlord, such level of pain signified a severe amount of damage.

“Help me!”

That was only the start. As a boss monster, the Golden Skeleton didn’t overlook his opponent’s weakness, and it swung its sword continuously. Unable to use his left shoulder, the swordsman was not able to hold up his shield. As a result, he had to endure five of Golden Skeleton’s attacks with his armor and helmet. Endure was a nice way of putting it, as he was simply beaten up.

Plus.

Bang, bang!

As if to irritate him, the Skeleton Warriors beat on the swordsman’s armor with their hammers, not giving him a chance to balance himself. Once he began to be bombarded, he was unable to control the situation anymore.

He was in a critical situation.

However, his allies weren’t in any position to help him.

“We’re screwed!”

“Should I cancel the shield?”

Currently, two priests and a magician stood inside a level 30 barrier magic. A total of 3 people.

Plus, their shield…

Bang, bang, bang!

Was being bombarded by a Skeleton Warrior under a Madness Helm effect. The Skeleton Warrior swung his hammer to a beat, as if to use the shield and hammer as instruments.

In such a situation, the only way of going outside the shield was to cancel the shield magic. As long as the shield magic was being maintained, the only thing that could go through the shield were magic spells and skills.
