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

Five hours passed, and the BOSS’s health grew lower and lower, with only a bit over thirty percent remaining.

However, this BOSS was extremely cunning. It always managed to kill a zombie during the gaps between Lucien’s skill cooldowns, never giving him any room to recover fully.

Now, all nine zombies had been completely wiped out.

To summon them again, he would have to wait for the cooldown period to pass.

"Ding! You have been specially marked. Damage dealt to you by the Thunder-Winged Wind Tiger is increased by fifty percent for 60 seconds."

The BOSS suddenly pounced toward Lucien, its massive tiger paw striking directly at him with overwhelming force.

In an instant, Lucien was sent flying more than a dozen meters away, crashing heavily onto the ground.

-23,000

A massive damage number rose above his head.

The professionals who had already finished clearing the common monsters saw Lucien being sent flying, and their hearts trembled.

They knew that although not many monsters had gathered for this tide, it was undoubtedly the most dangerous one they had ever faced.

And all of it... was because of this Immortal Rank BOSS.

This BOSS was simply not something people at their current level could defeat.

The only one who could possibly stand against it was Lucien.

"What should we do? Great God Lucien’s situation doesn’t look good. One hit took more than half his HP!"

At this moment, the professionals with Scouting abilities had expressions full of worry.

They were the ones who had chosen to stay, unwilling to abandon Gu Du City.

Originally, they had already prepared themselves to perish alongside the city.

But Lucien’s performance had given them hope.

Especially when they saw the BOSS’s health steadily declining, they truly believed victory was within reach.

They hadn’t expected the loss of the nine zombies to cause the situation to spiral out of control so quickly.

Just as panic began to spread—

A burst of green light suddenly radiated from Lucien’s body.

In the blink of an eye, his HP returned to full.

He stood up, slightly disheveled, dust covering his clothes, and let out a quiet breath.

A bitter smile appeared in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected the BOSS to actually use tactics.

It had deliberately used Chang Ghosts earlier to stall him and eliminate all his zombies step by step.

And now, it had launched its strongest attack at the most critical moment.

Lucien glanced at his mana pool.

It was nearly depleted.

He had used too many skills during the prolonged fight.

Only ten percent left.

As long as he could shave off another ten percent of the BOSS’s health, he could activate his ghost artifact skill.

At that point, he could instantly kill it.

However, in his current state, the situation was extremely dangerous.

Still... it wasn’t hopeless.

At worst, he could activate his magic artifact skill. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Although the resulting weakened state would be severe, it would guarantee victory.

But unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to rely on it.

Seeing that Lucien’s HP had fully recovered, the BOSS pounced again without hesitation.

-24,123

Another strike sent Lucien flying backward.

Before he could even regain his footing—

A bolt of heavenly thunder struck down from above.

-23,456

In an instant, his HP dropped below ten thousand, leaving only a few thousand points remaining.

Pain surged through his body, but Lucien forced himself to stay calm.

Taking advantage of the brief opening—

"Thunder God, Assist Me!"

Nine phantoms appeared behind him, unleashing destructive lightning toward the BOSS.

-30,000 (Critical Hit)

-60,000 (Critical Hit)

-60,000 (Critical Hit)

Every strike was a critical hit.

The BOSS’s HP dropped again, inching closer to the crucial threshold.

Seeing the BOSS charge once more, Lucien clenched his teeth.

Just as he was about to activate his magic artifact—

A zombie suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the incoming attack.

-20,000

The zombie was instantly destroyed.

Lucien’s eyes flickered with surprise, but he didn’t dwell on it.

"Lightning Fist!"

The Jade Ruyi in his hand erupted with lightning as he launched a rapid barrage of attacks.

-60,000 (Critical Hit)

-60,000 (Critical Hit)

-60,000 (Critical Hit)

Within three seconds, Lucien unleashed nine consecutive attacks.

At this moment, he had a strange feeling—

The lower his HP dropped, the sharper his instincts became, and the higher his critical hit rate seemed to rise.

Every strike felt perfectly timed, perfectly executed.

After finishing his attacks, Lucien immediately retreated.

The BOSS’s claws barely swept past where he had been standing moments before.

Failing to land a hit, the BOSS grew enraged and pounced again.

Lucien turned and ran without hesitation.

With his current HP, he couldn’t afford to take another hit.

Although he still had life-saving skills, it was best not to rely on them unless absolutely necessary.

If he used them recklessly now, what would he do if an even more dangerous situation arose later?

Finally, he managed to survive until the Healing Spell’s cooldown ended.

Without delay, he cast it again.

His nearly depleted HP instantly surged back to ninety percent.

At the same time, he unleashed another Soul Fire Talisman.

"Ding! Your Healing Spell has reached Intermediate level."

"Ding! Your Soul Fire Talisman has reached Advanced level."

The system notifications echoed in his mind, but Lucien ignored them completely.

Now wasn’t the time.

The BOSS’s HP had dropped to thirty-one percent.

It was still under the Electrified State.

He only needed one more push.

"Lightning Fist!"

This time, Lucien didn’t retreat.

Instead, he stepped forward and clashed directly with the BOSS.

Seeing the tiny human dare to confront it head-on, a flash of cruel delight appeared in the BOSS’s eyes.

Even at thirty percent HP, it still believed itself far superior.

The collision was brutal.

-8,000

-60,000 (Critical Hit)

-65,000 (Critical Hit)

-9,500

-59,595 (Critical Hit)

-65,432 (Critical Hit)

In just three seconds, Lucien’s HP dropped to eighteen thousand.

But at the same time—

The BOSS’s HP finally reached thirty percent.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Lucien’s lips.

Now.

Just as he was about to activate his skill—

The BOSS suddenly froze.

Its massive body trembled.

Then, instinctively, it retreated.

It sensed it.

A fatal danger.

Something that could truly kill it.

"Fate..."

Lucien’s voice was low, almost like a whisper from the abyss.

"Ugly Beyond Recognition."

-15,151,515

A massive white damage number appeared above the BOSS.

Its enormous body stiffened—

Then collapsed heavily onto the ground.

Motionless.

Dead.

Silence fell over the battlefield.

Everyone stared in shock.

"What... just happened?"

"Didn’t that BOSS still have thirty percent HP left?"

"What kind of skill is that? Over ten million damage?!"

"That’s enough to kill a hundred of us..."

"Is this even something a player can do?"

Then—

Cheers erupted.

"We won!"

"We actually won!"

Excitement, disbelief, and relief spread through the crowd.

Some even felt their legs go weak.

They had survived.

They had witnessed a miracle.

And at the center of it all—

Lucien stood quietly, breathing steadily as he looked at the fallen BOSS.

His expression remained calm.

As if everything that had just happened... was completely within his expectations.
