Assassin at Range: The Sniper's Lethal Power

Chapter 34 34: First Kill of the Dungeon!

As the final boss of Crimson Tomb, Kampakro's combat strength is quite formidable.

His skill combo of Shadow Shift and Frenzied Blade, a two-hit chain, is enough to instantly kill any unprepared ranged DPS.

However, this doesn't mean melee fighters are safe.

In the absence of ranged targets, Kampakro will still use Frenzied Blade, and the reaction time left for melee players is minimal—one wrong move and they're dead on the spot.

His magical shield is also highly effective against spellcasters.

On top of that, he summons minions during dinner time, increasing the pressure on the main tank. He's the very definition of a rogue boss.

But in front of Tristan, even such a strong boss couldn't put up much of a fight.

There was nothing to be done—Tristan's playstyle was just too cheesy.

After dealing damage, he would immediately Stealth, causing Kampakro to angrily roar, but he couldn't do a thing about it.

This was the first time Kampakro had encountered such a troublesome opponent.

As time passed, Kampakro's health steadily dropped, but the pillars in the tomb were also collapsing one by one under the combined attacks of Kampakro and his minions.@@@@

Luckily, based on Tristan's calculations, he would be able to kill Kampakro before all the pillars were destroyed.

...

"Master, I failed."

Kampakro let out a long sigh, his body collapsing weakly onto the ground.

The four mini-bosses he summoned froze in place, their figures becoming ethereal before vanishing completely.

" Ding, you have killed the 10-level Silver Grade Boss, Kampakro, and earned 20,000 experience points. The experience cap has been locked, and any excess experience will be transferred to your experience pool."

"Hunting Moment activated, you have earned 1 evolution point! Current points: 5."

It's a shame that Kampakro's summoned minions weren't independent bosses, or else this kill would have been a jackpot for evolution points.

Although a little regretful, it wasn't a big issue.

At the same time, Tristan's attention was drawn to two loot orbs on the ground.

Dropping two pieces of equipment at once was already an extraordinary performance.

What was even more exciting for Tristan was that both pieces of equipment were weapons!

"No way, the first kill and I got a weapon set?" Tristan couldn't quite believe it.

The odds of that happening were just too low.

As he was contemplating this, another game prompt sounded.

" Ding, you have completed the Nightmare Difficulty dungeon, Crimson Tomb!"

"This is the first server-wide completion, and you have earned an additional 10,000 experience points, 20 attribute points, and 10 reputation points."

"Announcement is about to be made. Do you wish to hide your username?"

They were talented, had better classes, and yet Blackshade was stealing all the limelight.

This couldn't be allowed!

ExoGenesis had opened its servers simultaneously worldwide, with players from Valoria, Rovinia, and Kaldoria all playing the game.

Before the nation war version, they all mostly played in isolation, with little interference between countries.

But this didn't affect the server-wide announcements.

ExoGenesis was very considerate, sending out these announcements in multiple languages.

At this moment, in Rovinia's newbie village, a three-person team had finally brought Kampakro's health down to its last sliver.

"Steady, the boss is almost dead."

"If it weren't for Ivan's SSS-level talent, we wouldn't have made it this far."

"That Blackshade from Valoria may be strong, but he's just one person. Our team has an SSS and two S-level players, plus high-priced gear. We're definitely getting the first clear of this Nightmare Difficulty dungeon!"

Upon hearing the praise from his teammates, Ivan, wearing a robe and holding a staff, had a proud look on his face.

He had the SSS-level talent, Heart of Winter, and with his hidden class as the Winter Mage, he could balance both damage and control. Even bosses couldn't move in front of him. He was confident he could become the strongest player in ExoGenesis.

But before he could unleash his power, all the first kills were snatched by someone named Blackshade.

Ivan was not happy about it.

Why did the other player get all the credit?

"Valoria has been developing well these years, and their people have grown more confident. But I'll make them realize who the true ruler of this world is!"

A cold smile appeared on Ivan's lips as he raised his staff, ready to kill Kampakro.

But before he could cast his spell, the server-wide announcement went off again.

[Player 'Blackshade' first completes Nightmare Difficulty Crimson Tomb. We hope other players will follow suit!]

This was impossible!

Ivan's mind was shaken, and he cast his skill incorrectly.

The uncontrollable Kampakro exploded, killing his two teammates instantly.

If it hadn't been for Ivan's quick reflexes, he would have been dead too.

"Congratulations, you have completed the Nightmare Difficulty Crimson Tomb!"

Ivan ignored the game prompt entirely. Even the Golden Grade loot from the boss didn't excite him.

All he could think about now was one thing:

Once the national war started, he would tear that Blackshade apart!

At the same time, not just Rovinia players, but top players from all regions had the same thought.

One day, they would crush Blackshade under their feet!
