I Am A Legendary BOSS Chapter 111 - Struck A Fortune

Chapter 111: Struck A Fortune

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Ah…” Hideous screams came out from Augustine’s mouth.

This handsome and powerful legendary BOSS had been almost driven mad.

The soldiers beside him had disdain in their eyes, and they moved as far away from him as they could.

It was because there was a witch on the back of Augustine. Its flesh had rotten, and hideous black maggots squirmed out of the witch’s body. She had used her rotting tongue to lick Augustine’s face…

Augustine became so frightened that his battle energy burst into flames itself. It was as if he had turned into an inferno monster, but his battle energy did not have any effect on the witch.

The witch had only suppressed his strength and attributes. And even though it had done no harm to Augustine, it was still terrifying…

“What the heck is this?” Augustine tried very hard to keep his head from turning. But, he felt his face become wet and got the sensation of maggots crawling on it. He could stop his head from turning, but couldn’t stop himself from having wild imaginations.

“Commander, is it… a curse?” Fear had struck the soldiers too.

At the same time, a warrior came running over in a panic. He was still short of breath as he said, “Commander… our comrades… our comrades on both sides can’t hold their lines anymore. Hundreds of our soldiers have been killed.”

The situation had turned for the worse, and even the bounty hunters had no intention to continue fighting.

They had only received half of the bounties. But since the Dragon was gone, they would not receive the other half.

If they still continued to fight the Dawn Army, it would not spell good for them.

Even if they managed to kill William, they would suffer ma.s.sive casualties in the process. The legions of Iron Nation would get the chance to oppress and bully the bounty hunters.

The Devil Warrior Adolf was the first one to flee. He transformed into a single black flash of lightning and fled down the mountain…

The surviving bounty hunters too did not negotiate with Augustine. All of them fled like Adolf.

The Devil Warrior was not only powerful, but he was also very astute. When things did not look good, he was the first one to escape. But perhaps, that was the reason for him being able to survive all this time.

Because he… was not greedy!

As the bounty hunters fled, the morale of the Iron Nation legions started to plummet.

The soldiers guarding the flanks couldn’t ascertain whether the desertors were bounty hunters or their own comrades.

Augustine realized the gravity of the situation and glared at William. Not wasting any time, he waved and shouted, “All legions, retreat to the west.”

“Aaron, get the soldiers to fend off the enemy for ten minutes.” Augustine gave his order and fled in panic. The witch was still attached to his back, and he became worried about whether he could remove the curse. It would be h.e.l.l for him if he could not.

Aaron clenched his fists. He had also discerned that if everyone fled, it would lead to more casualties. He had to use the third legion as cannon fodder. He ordered, “Third legion, hold the lines while our comrades retreat.”

“D*mn. Holding the lines. F*ck you. Third legion, Augustine is abandoning us. Let’s retreat.”

A loud voice boomed all over the battlefield.

This voice relieved the soldiers who already had the notion of escaping. They immediately fled together with the second legion…

The voices for retreat only became stronger and louder.

The voices condemning Augustine became overwhelming.

Aaron located the direction of the disruptive voice. He found it coming from the Lord of Light. He was shouting leisurely while being protected by a hundred of his henchmen.

“Unscrupulous!” Aaron clenched his fists and cursed.

But it was too late to change the situation.

He could only retreat for now. As for what about the military insubordination, he’d have to survive first to deal with it…

When the Iron Nation legions retreated, they avoided William who was right in the center. William did not give any order to attack them either.

But there were some soldiers who could not run fast enough, and they pa.s.sed by some Elves.

William walked out of his protective ring of soldiers. He pointed with his hooked finger at the unfortunate soldiers. “Where can you run?”

A team leader stopped in his track. He found the icy stares from the crowd on him, and his lips quivered as he said, “Oh, darn.”

The team leader threw down his weapon and lay down on the ground with his legs wide open. He was tired…

All his subordinates too stopped running. They also threw down their weapons and stripped down their equipment. In a while, only their briefs remained, and the s.h.i.+vering soldiers huddled together while rubbing their hands to create heat.

They had no choice. It was their fault for being slow and not being able to escape. They could only surrender if they didn’t wanna die.

Ultimately, William’s reinforcements arrived at the cave entrance. Lautner was relieved to see that William was intact. He said, “I’m glad you’re well. Should we pursue the retreating soldiers?”

“Of course. We are pursuing them. We’ll chase them for an hour. And no matter how many soldiers we kill or capture in this time, after it, we’ll make our retreat by the coast.” William ordered. Leaving his personal guards and the 130 elite Elfin soldiers, all of the remaining 5,000-strong legions pursued the enemies.

Was it wise to pursue a cornered enemy?

The main concern in it was being ambushed back by the enemy.

But the Iron Nation legions were not capable of laying ambushes. In this case, whether William chose to capture or kill, it would only result in profits.

“It’s a pity we couldn’t get Augustine and Makhu Redd.” William was befuddled. He had not expected Makhu Redd to appear here at all. But it was a great shame that this chance to kill the trouble-making black warlock was missed as well.

“The rest of you will guard the cave entrance. Your job is to prevent the Dragon’s clansmen from pillaging our loots.” William immediately dashed into the cave. He wanted to pillage Dragon’s treasure.

He believed that Augustine did not get the time to look for the Dragon’s treasure in all that mayhem.

But William could not afford to stay in the cave for too long.

Even though the Dragon’s clansmen had retreated, once they got over their fear and shock due to the dragon’s death, they would come back for the treasure.

William made sure to be very fast. He pillaged the interior of the cave and descended further inside.

The temperature rose steadily as he went deeper.

Without the restraint from the Great Dragon, the volcano lava had become active again. William felt like he was walking into a sea of fire.

But he made haste and evaded the spouting lava along the way with the help of his sixth sense.

Then he stopped in front of a wide lava stream before leaping and landing on a black rock in the middle of the lava stream.

He did not pause for long.

When he jumped again, the lava had engulfed the rock below him. Willam landed on another piece of rock.

Green smoke appeared at William’s feet. He kept jumping from rock to rock until he had crossed the lava stream.

Finally,

There were no more obstacles. William had reached the treasure vault of the Fire Dragon!

“Fortunately, I have multiple experiences of dying in the lava stream from my previous life…” William smiled. In his previous life too, he had been involved in the Dragon slaying in the snowy mountains of the East Sea.

But it was through a legendary Instance Dungeon. Only the legendary Instance Dungeon provided the one-in-a-thousand chance of obtaining the Dragon’s blood. Most of the norma; Instance Dungeons of East Sea snow mountains only had Dragon scales.

There were many grades of Dragon scales. The harder the Instance Dungeon, the higher the quality of the Dragon scales.

That was the reason why he explored the Instance Dungeon. It was to create better equipment!

And since the cave had become an Instance Dungeon, it meant that the Fire Dragon had been killed. Even if the players explored the place many times, there would not be much rewards.

The Dragon’s treasure would include some treasure chests…

There might even be high-quality precious stones, equipment and gold coins.

William walked around a corner.

When he saw the mountain of gold coins, treasure chests and precious stones, he could not help as his eyes widened. He just kept staring. “My Gos.h.!.+…”
