Chapter One Hundred and Three: Slaying the Lizard King, Obtaining a Demonic Core

You must know that Yang Feng possessed a passive skill for magical defense.

When faced with magical attacks, he could offset more than double the damage.

Even so, the Raven Warriors still suffered injuries.

Without this skill, the wounds on the Raven Warriors would have been far more severe.

If it had been any other class, they might have been killed in an instant.

Yang Feng’s expression shifted. He quickly retreated two steps, positioning himself behind the Raven Mages.

Skill: Armor of Light!

Yang Feng cast another set of Armor of Light upon himself.

The raging wind swept over the Raven Mages. Though their defenses were not as strong as the Raven Warriors, they still swayed under the onslaught.

Fortunately, the Raven Mages were some distance from the Lizard King, so the power of the skill was somewhat diminished.

The Armor of Light flickered with a steady white glow, blocking the Lizard King’s attack.

Yang Feng understood that he was the greatest weakness of his team.

Even with the Armor of Light, his defenses remained the weakest.

If he took damage, he could transfer it to the Raven Warriors, who would then share in the harm.

This damage was calculated based on Yang Feng’s own defense, not that of the Raven Warriors.

Thus, Yang Feng had to avoid harm as much as possible.

The howling wind lasted for a full thirty seconds before finally subsiding.

The Raven Warriors were knocked to the ground but quickly sprang to their feet and charged forward once more.

They felt neither pain nor fear.

They obeyed only Yang Feng’s commands in battle, the perfect warriors.

The Raven Mages were no different, casting spells without pause.

In an instant, wind, rain, and lightning rained down on the Lizard Guards.

The Lizard Guards’ skill duration had ended, and their defenses crumbled under the assault.

With a pained scream, one Lizard Guard was killed.

The defensive aura surrounding the other two also faded. Yang Feng did not hesitate.

Skill: Fireball!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Three fireballs flew forth in quick succession.

The first one killed two Lizard Guards outright.

The second and third fireballs struck the Lizard King.

The Lizard King let out a wretched howl as its wings were blasted off, its body torn and bloodied.

The two back-to-back fireballs left the Lizard King half-dead.

Suddenly, the Lizard King’s body began to shrink.

Skill: Tail Whip Attack!

At the same time, a protective barrier shimmered around the Lizard King.

This shield was immensely powerful—even the Raven Warriors could not break through.

Not even the attacks of the Raven Mages could pierce the Lizard King’s defense.

“Another defensive skill. Let’s see how long you can last!” Yang Feng sneered.

Such defensive skills always had a time limit, and the stronger the assault, the shorter that duration.

The Raven Warriors and Raven Mages continued their relentless assault.

Spell after spell crashed against the Lizard King.

Curled in upon itself, the Lizard King’s roars echoed through the entire Forest Lizard cavern.

Moments later, the sound of countless creatures crawling reached Yang Feng’s ears.

He turned to see a horde of lizards pouring from every tunnel.

They seemed crazed, surging toward him.

This was one of the Lizard King’s abilities: Summon Lizards!

With this skill, the Lizard King summoned every lizard in the lair.

Yet Yang Feng showed no sign of panic; instead, a mysterious smile played on his lips.

“Hahaha, all these are just free experience points!”

He had never expected such a windfall.

Dozens of Raven Warriors, who had been attacking the Lizard King, vanished instantly.

A heartbeat later, they materialized at Yang Feng’s side.

With a shrill cry, they charged into the incoming swarm of lizards.

The Raven Mages also turned and unleashed spells upon the creatures.

In the first barrage, a flying lizard was killed instantly.

Then came a barrage of explosions.

Fireballs rained down one after another.

With each blast, swathes of lizards were killed or wounded.

No matter how many came, they could not break through.

Yang Feng’s experience bar shot upward as if fueled by rockets.

More and more Forest Lizards converged at the Lizard King’s roar.

Yang Feng couldn’t tell how many there were—only that the ground was densely packed.

When he had entered the Forest Lizard lair, his experience was around thirty percent.

Now, it had already reached sixty percent, and it was still climbing.

If he could always find such monsters to slay, his leveling speed would surely outpace everyone.

At last, the Lizard King’s skill ended, and no more lizards arrived.

Yang Feng felt a slight disappointment at that.

His experience had reached forty percent, thirty percent higher than when he had entered.

Once the skill faded, the Lizard King returned to its original form.

Most astonishingly, all its previous injuries were healed—even its wings had regrown.

“It even has a healing effect like this?” Yang Feng marveled.

With a wave of his hand, the Raven Warriors and Raven Mages once again launched their full assault upon the Lizard King.

The Lizard King beat its massive wings, striking the Raven Warriors and sending them flying, though they suffered little damage.

They quickly returned to the battle.

Soon, the Lizard King was again grievously wounded.

With its skills on cooldown, it could not defend itself.

Its wounds grew ever more severe, and its anguished cries filled the cavern.

Over a hundred Raven Warriors and sixty Raven Mages unleashed a relentless storm of attacks.

After enduring for more than ten minutes, the Lizard King finally collapsed.

Yang Feng gazed at the white, crystal-like object resting in his palm—the Lizard King’s demon core.

If given to an alchemist, it could be refined into magical pills.
