Chapter 54: Recovering 250,000 Health Points per Second—Is This Even Human? The Caribbean Pillar Was Stunned!

Within the rocky cavern, a middle-aged uncle—wait, a man with a neat middle parting and sharply defined features, whose overhead ID read "Caribbean Dezhu"—was currently swinging a long sword, standing his ground as he fought a rock behemoth head-on!

With every attack landed by the rock behemoth, in less than five seconds, this Caribbean Dezhu could recover his lost health at an astonishing, terrifying speed!

Such a horrifying life-steal speed was simply outrageous, making it impossible not to feel amazed.

However, good times never last...

Scarcely a few seconds after Su Nian and the others arrived, the rock behemoth instantly fell into a frenzy, directly dealing a critical hit with a single slap, followed by an instant-cast rock summons that completely wiped out Caribbean Dezhu's morale...

"What the fuck!"

A stream of pure, native profanity burst forth.

With his health bar dangerously low, Caribbean Dezhu watched as the enraged rock behemoth raised its massive hand for another heavy slap. Abandoning even the sword in his hand, he raised his arms and resolutely made a break for it!

He instantly transformed into an esports Usain Bolt, covering three footprints every hundred meters, the kind of runner who would sprint right through three consecutive red traffic lights.

While fleeing for his life, Caribbean Dezhu noticed Su Nian's group of four standing on the stone ledge and hurriedly shouted out a warning, "Hey, you guys up there, stop standing around like idiots! If you aren't going to run, come down and give me a hand!"

"This damn thing is way too tough!"

The four of them: "......"

"Tch... Since we're already here, and besides, this uncle looks quite amiable, let's go down and lend a hand."

With that, Su Nian took the lead and jumped down.

Of course, he wasn't someone who unconditionally chose to help just because someone looked amiable.

It was mostly a matter of coincidence.

In his previous life, this Caribbean Dezhu was an absolute powerhouse capable of ranking in the top five of the world swordsmen leaderboard!

He possessed the S-rank talent, Bloodthirsty Fiend, which granted thirty percent omnivorous life-steal.

And people's general evaluation of him was... a fiercely loyal, forthright, and ultimate gaming obsessive.

Because he looked somewhat prematurely aged, people gave him the nickname: the Internet-Addicted Uncle.

Regrettably, three years later during the invasion, he sacrificed his life for the sake of protecting a city.

Down below at this moment...

After shouting out that warning, Caribbean Dezhu didn't dare to divide his focus any longer; preserving his life was paramount.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the rock behemoth's massive fist slammed down right beside his hemline, blasting a giant crater into the ground!

"What the fuck, so fast?"

"Did this rock monster turn on overdrive?"

"I'm done for!"

Caribbean Dezhu's heart skipped a beat.

Fortunately, at that very moment......

[Skill — Frostbite.]

"Crack!"

Noticing that the commotion behind him had abruptly ceased, Caribbean Dezhu glanced back while continuing to run.

Then, to his utter astonishment......

The rock behemoth had been frozen solid?

Even more incredible things were yet to come!

[Skill — Scorching Sea of Flames.]

[-1288.]

[-1300.]

[......]

Caribbean Dezhu: "Oh my god!"

What was he witnessing right now?

In just a few short seconds, with a single skill, the boss's health bar plummeted by several thousand points directly?

"Roar!"

The rock behemoth was furious!

It was this very human before its eyes who had repeatedly humiliated it today. Even if it, Old Rock, were to die today, it would die standing!

"Boom!"

The rock behemoth threw down a punch.

However......

[-250.]

[Health +257,643.]

The rock behemoth: "???"

Caribbean Dezhu: "???"

Wait...

How much?

The thing deals two hundred and fifty damage to you, and you instantly recover twenty-five... thousand?

Is this even human?

Caribbean Dezhu stood frozen in place, dumbfounded, as he rubbed his eyes and stared at the person before him.

"Emperor?"

"It's actually this supreme expert!"

When he clearly saw the ID hovering above the newcomer's head, Caribbean Dezhu's shock deepened, and the scene that unfolded next nearly scared him out of his wits!

He saw Su Nian wave the staff in his hand, unleashing over a dozen basic attacks simultaneously.

Then......

[Percentage execution talent successfully triggered!]

"Rumble!"

The rock behemoth's massive body instantly collapsed.

[Rock Behemoth drops: Gold Coins ×50, Blue Staff (Blue) ×1, Cuirass (Blue) ×1, C-rank Skill ×1.]

Su Nian turned his head, glanced at the jaw-dropped Caribbean Dezhu, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

A probability of zero point something directly triggering an execution.

From someone else's perspective, it simply looked like he casually tossed out a basic attack, and the boss vanished...

Nobody would suspect him of cheating, right?

"The boss... just died like that?"

After several seconds, Caribbean Dezhu finally snapped out of his shock and muttered to himself.

Pray tell, what had he witnessed within these past few short seconds?

A single skill dealt several thousand damage to the boss, followed by an instant recovery of two hundred and fifty thousand health.

Immediately after, this supreme expert's attack speed was like a machine gun; with a mere wave of his hand, the boss was straight-up gone?

If he remembered correctly...

Wasn't he also considered a supreme expert by others?

Yet could the gap between experts really be this astronomical?

"Big Boss, look, you've scared the uncle silly." Yu Yourong had just arrived and immediately blurted out the unfiltered truth.

Caribbean Dezhu: "???"

Upon hearing the word "uncle," he instantly snapped out of his brain-lagged state and recovered his wits.

"Hold on, little sister, who are you calling an uncle? I, Zhao Dezhu, am only twenty-four this year, okay? A genuine post-2000s kid!"

Yu Yourong: "???"

Now it was Yu Yourong's turn to be utterly bewildered.

"Twenty-four? Are you sure you aren't forty-two? We're actually the same age?"

Zhao Dezhu: "Holy shit, you're already an adult?"

Su Nian and the other two: "......"

The atmosphere instantly lapsed into a momentary stalemate.

At this point, Hou Xiaoyu chimed in with a practical question: "This un... uncle-brother, why did you come to fight the boss all by yourself? Don't you have teammates?"

Zhao Dezhu was the type to warm up to people instantly.

He smiled at Su Nian, scratched his head, and said, "This supreme expert was able to solo a boss on the very first day of the game's launch, so I figured since it's already the third day... and my S-rank talent isn't any worse than anyone else's, I thought, I can do this too."

"Who would've thought I couldn't beat it at all!"

Su Nian, standing nearby, was momentarily stunned.

He mused to himself that this guy had been so daring—and it was all because of him?

"Uhm, Supreme Expert."

Suddenly, Zhao Dezhu seemed to have made up his mind, or perhaps he was deeply moved by the shocking spectacle he had just witnessed.

He walked up to Su Nian, looked at him with complete seriousness, and said, "I'm a man who believes in clear debts of gratitude and enmity. You just saved my life. Real-life favors aside, you certainly wouldn't care for whatever little possessions I have in the game, so......"

"Seeing as my talent is passable..."

"Would it be possible......"

Hearing this, Su Nian's eyes instantly lit up.

Ho ho... well, would you look at that.

He hadn't even started recruiting yet, and someone was already volunteering to join?

An S-rank talent? He'd take anyone, no questions asked!

The world's future number one divine guild—

It simply had to belong to their Dragon Country!

With that thought, Su Nian didn't hesitate at all.

"Yes, of course it's possible!"

Yet who could have expected that right as his voice trailed off, the very next second......

"What the fuck?"
