Level 1 to Infinity: My Bloodline Is the Ultimate Cheat - Chapter 114

Chapter 114: A Second Chance
The moment Ethan gave the command, Meatball who had already summoned his demonic army, snapped his fingers.

A dozen summoned creatures surged forward, charging at the giant turtle in a frenzy.

Leading the charge was a Demonic Guardian, dual-wielding massive cleavers. It activated Charge, closing the distance in an instant and landing directly behind the turtle.

“Damn it, Meatball! Don’t let it spin like a damn fan blade!” Skyblade howled in alarm.

He still had trauma from their previous fight in Larson Basin, where Meatball’s summon had unleashed an uncontrolled AOE attack, nearly turning Skyblade into ground beef.

If he hadn’t reacted fast and hit the deck, he would’ve suffered the same brutal fate as those Blade Syndicate players.

“Don’t worry, my Mastery is maxed out now. I have full control,” Meatball reassured him.

Meatball’s other summons didn’t deal high damage, but the sheer number of them made up for it.

Ethan glanced at Meatball’s setup. A full summoner build. He knew someday, he’d truly command an unstoppable demon army.

The giant turtle had a staggering 1.2 million HP, but with Meatball now fully engaged, its health noticeably started dropping faster.

Meanwhile, Lyla had drawn back her bow, charging up a Double Shot combined with an Aimed Strike. She hadn’t released the arrows yet, but Ethan had been keeping an eye on her.

He was eager to see just how much damage she could dish out.

Back when she first obtained the Frostbound Reverie, she had been level 15. Now, at level 28, the weapon should have grown accordingly.

Plus, her attack-boosting accessories had all been enhanced to +30.

Ethan estimated that her attack power was now at least 3,000.

Then—

Whoosh! Whoosh!

-2178!

-3267! (Critical Hit!)

“…What?”

“No way!”

“Damn, Boss lady, you might as well solo this thing!”

The entire raid team erupted in shock. The numbers were devastating.

And before they could even process it—

Rapidfire Barrage!

-871, -871, -895, -1306…

Nine consecutive hits, damage piling up in waves.

Even Ethan felt a pang of jealousy surge through him. So this was the power of a legendary weapon?

Running a quick mental calculation, he realized Lyla’s total attack power had exceeded 3,400. In open-world PVP, she could one-shot most enemies with a single arrow.

Even Feather, the so-called God of Arrows? He’d better step aside.

Wealth? Skill? Maxed-out gear? None of it mattered if he didn’t have a legendary weapon like this.

Ethan felt a mix of pride and envy.

With Lyla and Meatball joining the fray, the giant turtle’s health bar plummeted at a steady rate.

Ten minutes later, it was approaching the critical 50% threshold.

That’s when Skyblade suddenly yelled out.

“First Lady! Stop! STOP!”

Ethan noticed it too—something was wrong.

The turtle was becoming restless, shifting aggressively within the melee circle. It was on the verge of losing aggro, about to OT (OverThreat).

Skyblade had reacted too late.

As a tank, he should have noticed sooner.

Managing boss aggro wasn’t just about holding threat, it was about reading the enemy’s movements and knowing when to tell damage dealers to hold back.

But Skyblade was still a rookie.

By the time he realized the threat shift, it was already too late.

At that exact moment, Lyla fired.

Her Double Shot and Rapidfire Barrage had already been fully charged. Eighteen arrows streaked through the air in a perfect straight line.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

A massive 15,000 damage burst exploded onto the turtle’s shell.

And then, the boss lost control.

The giant turtle’s health had just dropped to 50%.

Then—

Woooooo…

Its entire body suddenly expanded, nearly doubling in size. The melee players, Skyblade included, were violently knocked back, sent flying across the battlefield.

“Shit.”

Ethan’s heart sank for a split second. Then, gritting his teeth, he shouted:

“Everyone, scatter! Stay out from under it! Lyla, move away from the group!”

The turtle’s stubby legs had now transformed into massive stone pillars, holding up its colossal frame as it charged straight for Lyla.

For a brief moment, panic flashed across her face, but she quickly regained control, sprinting out of the crowd the moment she heard Ethan’s command.

As expected, the turtle locked onto her, chasing her relentlessly.

Skyblade didn’t even bother taunting this time, he knew it was pointless.

Once aggro was lost, the only way to reset threat was for the targeted player to die. Taunts would be ignored. The turtle was immune to all aggro-control skills.

And with its size increase, the next thing it was going to do was drop its instant-kill attack.

If Skyblade somehow took back aggro now, the skill would hit him instead, and that would mean a full raid wipe.

Lyla was fast, but the turtle was faster.

In just two seconds, it had caught up, its massive shadow looming over her.

Then—

It tucked in all four legs, its tail, and even its head, vanishing entirely into its shell. The next moment, the entire shell came crashing down.

BOOM!

The impact shook the entire cave. The very ground trembled. When the dust settled, the turtle’s shell slowly shrank back to normal size as its five limbs extended once more.

Ethan’s voice rang out instantly.

“Skyblade, take aggro! Keep attacking!”

Skyblade didn’t even need the order, his Taunt was already flying through the air.

“Come at me, you bastard!”

But he knew, Lyla was dead.

In dungeon fights, corpses couldn’t be revived manually. You couldn’t corpse-run back either.

Priests could resurrect, but only after combat ended.

Their revival spells weren’t meant to bring back players mid-battle, they were meant to reduce time lost running back from graveyards.

Without Lyla, the raid’s total damage output would drop significantly.

Ethan opened the damage statistics window provided by Ethereal. Lyla alone had dealt 450,000 damage. The rest of the 29 players combined?

150,000.

She had tripled the entire team’s output.

That’s when a voice pinged in raid chat. “Big Bro, do you need me to revive Lyla?”

It was Heaven’s Dawn.

Ethan blinked.

“Wait… You have a battle resurrection skill?”

Battle res was one of the rarest healing abilities in the game.

In his previous life, most Druids were only invited to high-level raid teams because of this exact spell.

“Yup! Just learned it!”

Ethan almost laughed in disbelief. This little girl was seriously blessed by the game itself. Most Druids barely unlocked battle res at level 100.

She got it at level 20?!

“Do it. Bring her back.”

The moment Ethan gave the order, Heaven’s Dawn began chanting.

Vines and glowing flowers emerged from the ground, wrapping around Lyla’s corpse.

Twenty seconds later—

The plants withered and faded, revealing Lyla, back on her feet with 20% HP.

But the moment she came back, a new problem emerged. The turtle’s attack pattern had changed.

For the first half of the fight, it only targeted the tank.

Now?

It started randomly casting Thunder Stomp, an AOE shockwave that hit all melee players nearby. The healers were struggling to keep up.

Ethan’s voice rang out again.

“Dawn, focus on healing! All other healers, stop attacking and keep melee players alive!”

The real fight had just begun.
