Assassin at Range: The Sniper's Lethal Power

Chapter 83 83: First Kill of a Dark Gold Grade BOSS!

Before the battle even began, Tristan had already predicted every possible outcome.

One of the possibilities was Bonecrusher performing a sacrifice and ascending to a higher grade.

The jump from Gold Grade to Dark Gold Grade was a massive leap in terms of life and stats—everything became much stronger.

So, Tristan knew that Bonecrusher wouldn't reveal all its trump cards right away. It had to be holding something back.

Because of the limited number of skills, Tristan had to adjust his approach.

The first thing he focused on was the attack range.

With his current stats, Tristan could easily hit the enemy with Shadow Dagger from over a hundred meters away.

But he didn't do that. He kept the distance around fifty to sixty meters from the start.

Before Bonecrusher ascended, this range was already at its limit, but it was enough for Tristan to dodge its attacks.

Next, Tristan controlled his movement speed.

Now that Bonecrusher had ascended to Dark Gold Grade, its Brave Leap and Charge had wider ranges. That meant Tristan could start using his trump cards.

With a quick dash, he left behind afterimages, causing Bonecrusher's confident attack to miss completely.

Then, from a hundred meters away, Tristan threw a knife, not only placing himself in a perfectly safe position but also doubling his damage output.

With the range increase, from fifty meters to a hundred, the Sniper God bonus kicked in, and his damage shot up to 140,000.

This was outrageous damage, and Bonecrusher could barely keep up.

On top of that, the increased range doubled the damage from Toxic Blood Plague, dealing over 20,000 damage in just five seconds.

Bonecrusher's eyes nearly popped out of its skull.

Who was this enemy?

It had never faced a Stealthster with such an insane attack range.

Originally, Bonecrusher thought it had figured out the enemy's weaknesses, but now it realized it had been deceived.

Bonecrusher was thinking, "With that range, why even be a Stealthster? Why not just be an archer?"@@@@

With that kind of natural talent, this guy would definitely be a top-tier shooter.

But then it dawned on Bonecrusher—if the enemy were an archer, it could easily lock on and chase it down.

It was confident in its speed; after all, its legs were incredibly fast when it ran.

But the enemy was a Stealthster, able to reposition after every attack and strike from a safe distance.

Bonecrusher couldn't break through the Stealth, meaning it couldn't chase and was stuck being beaten passively.

No matter how fast it ran, it was futile.

If it tried to run in the opposite direction, it would just be helping the enemy create more distance.

"This guy's crafty!"

Bonecrusher sighed in frustration.

It had never imagined such an illogical fighting style existed.

Now, Bonecrusher had two choices:

Fight to the death and be toyed with until it died. Run away and be chased down until it was killed.

Damn it!

Either way, it was death!

Bonecrusher was stunned.

This outsider wasn't afraid of Dark Horizon at all?

Wasn't Dark Horizon famous for terrifying people into submission?

Bonecrusher had fallen for those human lies, bringing its army here to try and build its own little empire.

Now it deeply regretted its decision.

Realizing that even invoking Dark Horizon's name wouldn't work, Bonecrusher immediately resorted to its final move.

"Stop! I surrender!"

Bonecrusher dropped its warhammer, raised its hands, and waved a white flag.

At the same time, Tristan received a game prompt:

Ding, you have triggered a choice quest. Please choose carefully!

Choice 1: Spare Bonecrusher. Reward: Bonecrusher's Treasure.

Choice 2: Kill Bonecrusher and bring its head to Horreo. Reward: Horreo's Affection +20, Davi City Reputation +100.

Did Tristan want Bonecrusher's treasure?

Yes, but not really.

The treasure was valuable, but now that Bonecrusher had ascended to Dark Gold Grade, its dropped equipment was also valuable.

Why go for the treasure when he could deal with this right now?

What if Bonecrusher tried to cheat him?

It was better to take it down for sure and get the loot.

And the first kill of a Dark Gold Grade BOSS came with great rewards—free stat points and skill points.

Killing Bonecrusher was the more rewarding choice.

With one final Rain of Corruption, Tristan dropped another 100,000 health, sealing Bonecrusher's fate.

The enemy had no intention of letting it survive!

Bonecrusher raised its foot, kicked the warhammer into the air, and caught it with both hands.

Even if it was going to die, it would die with dignity.

Boom.

Bonecrusher's massive body fell to the ground, its eyes quickly losing their light.

Ding, you have killed the level 20 Dark Gold Grade BOSS Deathbringer Bonecrusher Gada. You have earned 50,000 experience points. An additional 25,000 experience points for killing 5 levels above your own.

A total of 75,000 experience points added to Tristan's progress, bringing him closer to his next level.

While it wasn't enough to reach level 16, it was still great.

Hitting level 15 had far exceeded his expectations. What more could he complain about?

*This kill is the first kill on the server. You have received an additional reward of 200 free

stat points, 20 skill points, and 200 reputation points.*

The entire server will now be notified. Do you want to hide your nickname?

No.
