Battle Online: My Luck Is So High It's Basically Cheating

"Ding! You have killed a Merman, gaining experience points +..."

"Ding! Congratulations, you have leveled up."

An unknown amount of time passed, and by now, a field of Mermen had fallen around Lucien. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Lucien finally reached Level 22; it had taken a full day.

Thanks to the Rushing Thunder Fist, he was able to kill a large number of monsters every minute.

Even so, it took an entire day just to level up once.

Looking at the loot filling his backpack, Lucien glanced through it casually.

There wasn’t anything that particularly satisfied him, but quite a few potions had dropped.

Many were recovery potions that could be used during combat.

He had a full stack of both blue and red bottles.

These potions alone could be exchanged for over a hundred thousand gold coins.

Others might earn only dozens of gold coins a day, but with his high Luck, Lucien was far stronger than ordinary players.

Just then, a figure appeared at the bottom of the water.

A humanoid female Merman holding a trident appeared not far from Lucien.

She exuded a terrifying aura.

Seeing that Merman, Lucien’s whole body tensed up.

It was as if he were being watched by some wild beast.

He quickly summoned the nine zombies that were attacking the ordinary Mermen to his side.

The moment this female Merman appeared, all the Mermen stopped their attacks.

Other types of monsters that were originally present also moved far away from the battlefield.

This female Merman was like a natural-born ruler, making all aquatic monsters submit.

Lucien looked at her.

Tidal Merman Nami (Immortal)

Level: 40

Health Points: 100 Million

Attack Power: 9,000

Skills: Surging Tides, Ebb and Flow, Tidal Wave, Wrath of the Water God, Berserk Essence, Summon Water Elemental, Immortal Spirit Eye, Merman Tear.

Introduction: Daughter of the Sea God, she should have lived in the Boundless Sea.

Seeing her attributes, Lucien’s first reaction was to run.

This attack power was simply perverse; with 9,000 attack power, even his 30,000 HP wouldn’t be enough to withstand her.

Furthermore, her HP was ridiculously high, a full 100 million.

He likely wouldn’t even be able to break through her defense; the gap between them was just too large.

Only by using the special skill of his magic artifact could he possibly break her defense; as for killing her, it was probably unrealistic.

Even if he reached Level 40, he might not necessarily be able to kill her.

Lucien hadn’t expected such a terrifying monster to be in this lake.

"As expected of an Immortal Grade monster, she’s not something a mere Level 22 like me can withstand. If I can just survive this encounter, I’ll have to count my lucky stars."

"And perhaps this monster is one of the weaker ones among the Immortal Grade! Or rather, more of a support-type existence."

Tidal Merman Nami naturally saw Lucien, but she didn’t attack immediately.

Instead, she sized him up continuously.

Then, with a mere wave of her hand, two monsters five meters tall and as transparent as water appeared before her.

Water Elemental (Weakened Version)

Grade: dark gold

Level: 35

Health Points: 30 Million

Attack Power: 3,000

Skills: Water Pillar, Water Dance, Water Elemental Burst, Spirit of Water.

As soon as these two Water Elementals appeared, they lunged forward, their meter-wide fists smashing toward Lucien.

Lucien naturally didn’t stand still, narrowly evading the attacks of the two Water Elementals.

Even though they only hit the lake bed, it caused the bottom of the lake to shake violently.

A meter-deep crater appeared exactly where Lucien had been standing.

This was underwater; the two Water Elementals summoned by Tidal Merman Nami had such power even though their basic attacks were significantly weakened.

This was truly terrifying; if he hadn’t dodged just now, he would probably have been smashed flat!

Seeing the two Water Elementals closing in again, Lucien commanded his nine zombies to swarm them.

The nine zombies clawed and bit at the Water Elementals, keeping them pinned down for the moment.

"Thunder Duke Assist Me!"

While the Water Elementals were occupied, Lucien immediately released a skill.

A ripple spread behind him, and a giant divine statue appeared at his back.

Electrical currents flickered out of the void from time to time.

With a roar, a thick bolt of electricity struck the nearest Water Elemental directly.

-6,000

-24,000 (Critical Hit)

-24,000 (Critical Hit)

-24,000 (Critical Hit)

-24,000 (Critical Hit)

-24,000 (Critical Hit)

-24,000 (Critical Hit)

-24,000 (Critical Hit)

With just one skill, he had dealt over two hundred thousand damage.

Lucien was stunned to see such high damage.

This damage isn’t right, is it?

How could the damage be so high? Then, remembering the skill description of Thunder Duke Assist Me, he suddenly realized.

It deals 300% lightning damage to the enemy, after which they enter an electrified state for one minute; while electrified, they take double damage from the lightning attribute.

This was why the subsequent eight damage numbers were different.

Because the two Water Elementals were close together and water conducts electricity, the other Water Elemental also took over a hundred thousand damage.

Lightning Rushing Thunder Fist.

Watching the lightning glow on his sword blade, Lucien slashed at the Water Elemental.

-22,000 (Critical Hit)

-22,000 (Critical Hit)

-22,000 (Critical Hit)

Since his Agility attribute exceeded 1,000, Lucien could now swing his sword three times per second.

In three seconds, all nine enchanted attacks were completed.

The Water Elemental’s HP dropped by over four hundred thousand.

However, just as Lucien stopped, a green light emanated from the Water Elemental.

+30,000

+30,000

+30,000

+30,000

+30,000

Seeing this, Lucien was completely dumbfounded.

He had worked so hard to deal over four hundred thousand damage, yet in just a few seconds, the enemy had recovered 150,000 HP?

How the hell am I supposed to fight this?

Looking at the Immortal Rank BOSS watching from a distance, a hint of apprehension flashed in Lucien’s eyes.

These were just two summoned beasts; she hadn’t even made a move herself yet!

It seemed he couldn’t have any delusions about this Immortal Rank BOSS.

It looked like he needed to find a chance to escape while she still hadn’t acted.

With that thought, Lucien first cast a Poisoning Technique on the Water Elemental.

The Water Elemental’s HP, which had been steadily recovering, suddenly came to a halt.
