Chapter 109: Piercing Arrow
Due to the special defense mechanism of the undead bone dragon, the entire battle was very simple.
In less than five minutes, the entire battle ended.
By the time Lorne rushed out of the cave, only ten minutes had passed.
It could be seen that there were hundreds of Bronze monsters wandering outside the cave.
As for the players of the World Destruction Guild, they should have all died under the hands of these Bronze monsters.
Lorne did not stop. With his high speed, he quickly left.
Five minutes after he left, suddenly, a large group of players rushed in.
Half of them were members of the World Destruction Guild and the Domination Guild.
Most of the other players were gathered by them with money.
Other than that, there was also a team of NPCs.
This was something they had spent countless gold coins to hire. Their goal was to capture the Boss that they had locked onto.
Although it cost a lot of money, the two guilds had at least a hundred Boss coordinates. If they could capture all of them, then the money would not be wasted.
…
On a distant hill.
Looking at the thousands of players surrounding him, Lorne’s heart pounded.
There were more than ten thousand high-level players who had reached Level 20.
If he was blocked by them, he would not be able to escape.
At this moment, it had to be said that running after stealing the kill was really exciting.
This was especially when surrounded by tens of thousands of players.
Indeed—
In this world, what was stolen was more enjoyable than what was bought.
With a pleasant aftertaste, Lorne quickly left.
There was still some time before the show began.
If he wanted to see their reaction after they realized that the Boss was gone, he had to wait until 1 pm.
He could use this time to test out the reward he had just received.
He checked as he walked.
After the Boss died, Lorne had gained a lot.
First, his divine power reached 24 points.
The legendary Dragon Crystal also had two fragments.
In addition, he had obtained a fragment of the dragon skeleton, which should be the reward that Lorne was most looking forward to.
This was because there were two undead creatures beside him.
As Small Artillery and Venom were Silver monsters, if he could synthesize this dragon skeleton fragment, he believed that their attributes would be greatly enhanced.
Lorne wondered if he should.
After all, this was a legendary material.
Although it was only a fragment, it was still not easy to obtain.
If possible, Lorne wanted to use it to create a Boss-level monster.
Only then would it not let down the reputation of the dragon.
With that in mind, Lorne put aside his thoughts and looked at the other loot.
Because it was a special Boss, the items dropped this time were very rich.
Among them, there were four Silver items, seven Bronze items, five Silver Enhancement Gems, 13 Bronze Enhancement Gems, and 10 Blessing Gems.
There was no need to elaborate on the use of the Enhancement Gem.
The use of the Blessing Gem was also relatively simple. It was used to forge and increase the success rate of forging.
In addition, Lorne obtained a skill book.
————
[Piercing Arrow] (Grade B)
Class: Archer
Effect 1: Pull the bowstring and begin accumulating strength. With every second of accumulation, the range and damage of the arrow will increase by 50%. It can last for up to three seconds.
Effect 2: The arrow will deal 50-200% physical damage to all units in the path and deal the same damage to targets behind.
Cooldown: 15 seconds.
Consumption: 500 MP.

In the Divine Realm, they were two classifications of skills.
The first was color.
Skills that were differentiated by color had special effects.
Typically, such skills had very powerful effects and were of high quality.
For example, the orange skill book [Hellhound Summoning] had effects that far exceeded those of Grade S and below.
The second type was the standard grade.
With the “E-SSS” grade as the standard range.
Such skills are often called conventional.
What Lorne obtained this time was a common Grade B skill, one exclusive to archers.
The effect of the skill was relatively simple.
It was like firing a charged arrow that dealt the same penetrative damage to all targets in the path.
This was an AOE skill.
The damage of the skill was very high, reaching 200%.
For archers who lacked AOE damage, such skill books were precious resources.
However, as a Summoner, Lorne could not learn this skill directly.
He could only let his pets learn this skill.
“Small Artillery.”
Small Artillery was a pet evolved from an undead archer and belonged to the archer class. It could completely learn this skill, just like how it had learned the [Eagle Eye] skill at the time.
Lorne made his decision.
Right now, it was the DPS with the highest damage in the team. It was the best choice to give it the skills to deal damage.
Compared to Small Artillery, Venom’s output was slightly weaker, because its poison dealt a fixed 5 points of damage. It could not compare to the Fire of Death, which dealt additional 20% damage.
Ding!
“Your pet has learned a skill: Piercing Arrow.”
It was time to raise the pets’ levels.
Without another word, Lorne led his pets deeper into the forest.
…
Near a depression, he found an ogre nest.
In this nest, there were dozens of huge ogres sitting together, boiling soup.
Lorne commanded Rimuru to attract the monsters.
After mobilizing all the monsters and adjusting their positions, Lorne controlled Small Artillery to draw its bow.
[Piercing Arrow]!
When the skill was activated, a wave of energy immediately condensed in its hand, and then quickly transferred to the entire battle bow.
One second!
Two seconds!
Three seconds!
When it was fully charged, Lorne let go of the bowstring.
Boom!
A powerful arrow shot forth.
It was like an electromagnetic cannonball, traveling at a terrifying speed.
Almost instantly, the arrow penetrated the bodies of a group of ogres.
Because the furthest penetration of the arrow had something to do with the attacker’s attack range, all the monsters within 40 yards of it received the same damage.
Countless numbers floated in the air.
The poor ogres, who had been cooking a pot of good soup, were pierced by the terrifying arrow.
Their health decreased by a large amount, and some of the ogres were directly penetrated, revealing a gaping wound.
At the same time, crimson damage numbers appeared above their heads.
“It can even deal critical damage?”
Lorne did not expect this AOE skill to deal critical damage.
With the upper limit of 1560 points of attack of Small Artillery, after triggering the critical hit effect, it could deal a critical hit of up to 6,000 points. Even if the damage was reduced by 40%, the final effect was very impressive.
This damage output was really powerful.
Among the monsters that were hit, some of the ogres who had their weak spots hit were instantly killed. Even their corpses were sent flying three to five meters away.
