Chapter 8: Critical King
"Alright, that's the plan. Do you understand?"Yu Zhen asked Yanyan after going over their plan.
"Yes stupid master." Yanyan replied casually
"Okay, let's do this." Yu Zhen said as he knew there was no point in trying to tell her to stop calling him stupid master.
Yu Zhen activated [Assimilate], [Calm Breath], and [Flame Cloak]. He looked as if he had an ethereal aura of black fire around him while ropes of black fire wrapped around his arms. He created a fire arrow knocked it and fired it it with [Power Shot]. The Goblin King noticed the attack but was a second too late to react, causing him to get hit in the head. It was a critical hit for 120 damage thanks to the piercing power's effect activating and causing both armour penetration and armour break on top of power shot's defence down debuff.
SKREEE~
Before the Goblin King could act, it heard a deafening and majestic cry as a beam of black flames engulfed it and the surrounding Goblins, draining it's health and destroying the Goblins.
It was Yanyan's [Breath Attack]!
After the Attack, the Goblin King's Health was just above 9000. However, a beam of black light pierced right through the middle of its eyebrows, getting a critical hit and triggering certain death effect. This effect does not work on bosses, so it damaged it for a fourth of its maximum health, dropping it to 5254 health.
Yu Zhen's [Heaven Piercing Shot]!
BAM!
Once again, before it could react, it received an arrow right above the first one, getting another critical hit and triggering the Certain Death effect, dropping it's health to 1500.
Mortal Shot!
BOOM!
Immediately after, as if it was a chain reaction, something fell on to the head of the Goblin King like a missile. It was Yanyan who had activated [Accelerate] and used [Dive Impact], stunning him for a second.
Yanyan activated [Fireball], followed by [Vanish Impact] activating armour penetration and armour break while erasing 500 of it's health in the second it was stunned.
The Goblin King came out of its stunned stated and swung it's huge sword at Yanyan before she could react. However, it suddenly froze, giving Yanyan enough time to activate shift and fly to an altitude it couldn't reach.
Heaven's Aura!
Yanyan continued to shoot small fireballs at it for 20- 30 damage, while Yu Zhen was firing arrows nonstop, all getting critical hits for 5-11 damage.
The Goblin King rushed at Yu Zhen, who activated [Escape] and teleported 30 meters away. The boss was much faster than he was, so he could only run around the area where Yanyan had annihilated everything. As [Assimilate] had run out the Goblin King was about to swing its sword, but it received the final blow from Yanyan and died.

"..."

And then there was an uproar once again.
"Are Divine Creatures that broken?" A person asked in shock
"Right? I figured he would get ahead, but for him to have killed a field boss already is insane!" Another person exclaimed
"Do you think he could be cheating?" One person asked curiously.
Everyone who heard that look at him and someone said"What level of idiot are you to have thought that up? If he was cheating, the EOS would have already found him and reported him to the game developers, who would either send him to jail or get him to pay a heavy fine, not to mention that the game only launched a few hours ago."
"I didn't know the EOS was so amazing!"
"It isn't impossible to find loopholes but to exploit them for over an hour before the EOS fixes it is impossible."
"Doesn't that mean that Fallen Arrow is either extremely skilled or extremely lucky?"
"Exactly!"
"Hey Guys, look in the forums. The big guilds are even offering inner member spots in their workshops for whoever can find Fallen Arrow."
"Hahahaha. Look at the most popular section of the forums. People are arguing about the gender of Fallen Arrow!" A guy said, unable to contain his laughter.
"Pffft! Fallen Arrow replied saying,'I am and will always be a man, so stop arguing about it. Why are you even arguing about this anyway? Don't you all have better things to do?'" Another guy said as he burst into laughter.
...
Back on Yu Zhen's side, He had just closed the forums.'What the hell is with those bunch of idiots.' he though to himself.
He had allocated 7 stat points to strength and 7 to agility. His status looked like this:

[Critical King]
Title Description: Given to those who have mastered the art of critical hist. Critical hit chances are unbearably low, and are dependent on where a creature is hit. However, the highest critical hit rate on any creature is 25%. For every debuff inflicted on a creature, the chance of critical hit on that creature's critical spots increases by 10%. For every buff a creature has, the chance to get a critical hit after hitting the critical spots of another creature is increased by 10%. This title is only obtained after getting 30 Critical hits in a row.
Title Effect: Doubles the natural critical chance of a creature's critical point.
"SO THAT'S IT! With assimilate, calm breath, and flame cloak on top of armour break and defence down debuff, my critical hit rate soared, allowing me to get so many critical hits. Honestly that went way better than planned. I had planned to use one of my firing or movement techniques at least but all those critical hits made it okay. I also forgot about the stats skills. I probably already had innate strength from before I fought the Goblin King." Yu Zhen said as he talked to himself.
After picking up all the drops, Yu Zhen decided on what he would keep. He got gloves, armour and a skill book. He also got a bunch of other equipment but these were the best ones.

"These are all going to sell for a ton of money. I don't really need any in game currency since I can sell the other 30 Ordinary grade and 7 Magic grade equipment. I also got a total of 17 silver from this. I sure hope, hunting is always this fruitful." Yu Zhen said as he set off back toward the Town.
