17 017 Encounter with the Elite Monster Again

Skeleton Cave.
Looking at the system prompt before him, Dean McKenzie couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
Even though Dean had already guessed that the assignment of attributes could not be unlimited, he didn’t expect the limit to come so quickly.
He opened Doggy Two’s attributes for a look.
……
Strength: 3, Agility: 3.8, Physique: 0.9
Attack: 3.2
Defense: 1.05+4
Equipment: Rotten Leather Armor
…
“Doggy Two’s current attributes are quite powerful compared to the regular skeletons, but they might still fall short when compared to elite bosses like Rotten Corpses.”
“At present, the only ways to further enhance Doggy Two are either by collecting Elite Template Fragments to upgrade his template.”
“Or by improving his talent level!”
However, neither of these conditions can be fulfilled in a rush. Thus, Dean’s gaze immediately fell on Doggy Three.
“It seems that I can only enhance Doggy Three for now!”
Although Dean could currently choose only one target for enhancement.
But he chose “Summon Skeleton” as the skill for “Summoning Enhancement”, thus, Dean can actually enhance Doggy Three now.
This was something he had tried previously.
It requires paying 5 silver coins to activate Doggy Three’s enhancement feature.
Moreover, the enhancements applied only apply to the current generation Doggy Three.
For instance, if Dean activates the enhancement feature now, he can only enhance the current Doggy Three. If it falls in battle, Dean would need to pay 5 more silver coins to activate the enhancement feature on a newly summoned Doggy Three.
Previously, Dean thought it was both too expensive and a bit of a rip-off, hence, he didn’t activate Doggy Three’s enhancement.
Even now, he still finds it a bit expensive.
“But what else can I do? I can’t enhance Doggy Two any further for now, and it’s still a bit risky to try and defeat elite monsters with just Doggy Two’s current strength.
The only choice I have is to also enhance Doggy Three. That way, when facing elite monsters, I’ll have a better chance!”
Saying this, Dean went straight to work.
[You have consumed 5 Silver Coins to activate the Enhancement Feature for Doggy Three (3rd generation)!]
With the system prompt, Dean’s property plummeted to less than 30 silver coins.
Looking at the disappearing 5 silver coins, Dean felt heartache. He patted Doggy Three’s skeleton determinably and said, “Starting today, I’ll protect you. I’ll never let you take damage again… Eh…”
Before Dean could finish his sentence, he saw a pair of glowing eyes appearing at the end of the tunnel, followed by the glint of an arrow flying towards him!
“Holy shit, it’s an arrow!
Doggy Three, take it for me!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Dean let Doggy Three take the hit from the arrow.
Though he felt the pain of losing 5 silver coins, his life was far more important.
There was a “thud!”.
The glinting arrow shot into Doggy Three, penetrating its armor and stopping its arrowhead right in front of Dean’s eyes.
Dean broke out in cold sweat.
If not for his quick reaction, he would already be gone.
“Damn it, Doggy Two, where are you? Quick, go and chop off that bastard!”
Having narrowly escaped death, Dean gave orders to Doggy Two while chanting a curse to throw the Appraisal Skill towards his attacker.
[You successfully used the Appraisal Skill, obtaining the target’s attributes!]
……
Name: Icy Skeleton Archer
Template: Elite
Level: Level 5
Attributes:
Strength: 1.4, Agility: 4, Physique: 1
Attack: 2+4
Defense: 0.5
Spirit Power: 10 points
Mastered Skill: Frosty Bone Arrow (Level 1) (Shoots a bone arrow with level plus agility frost damage)
Equipment: Ordinary Bone Bow (Attack +4)
…
“A Level 5 Elite?”
It must be said, Dean McKenzie was truly startled when he saw this attribute.
He didn’t expect that what would emerge at this point was a Level 5 Elite Monster.
Even less did he think that its attributes would be so terrifying.
Meanwhile, as Dean McKenzie advanced, the bone bow in the hand of the skeleton archer opposite him was drawn once more.
Not only that, Dean McKenzie clearly saw a frosty aura spreading within the bow and arrow.
Dean McKenzie instantly thought of the enemy’s skill, and his face changed as he decisively issued an order.
“Doggy Two, retreat, Doggy Three, we’re going in!”
Under Dean McKenzie’s command, the two skeletons moved into action. Doggy Two, who had already gotten within ten meters of the Skeleton Archer, rapidly withdrew, while Doggy Three and Dean McKenzie, who were originally fifteen meters away, advanced.
“Quick, quick, quick, quick!”
As Dean McKenzie moved forward, he was directing two skeletons, chanting Bone Fang, and still keeping an eye on the Skeleton Archer.
Watching the frosty aura continuously spreading in the enemy’s hand, Dean McKenzie was extremely anxious.
A rough calculation showed that the power of this arrow reached as high as 16 points.
Dean McKenzie wasn’t sure what exactly a 16-point power attack looked like, but he dared not let Doggy Two take the hit!
“Puff!”
In the midst of the sprint, the sound of vibrating bowstrings echoed, and a flash of icy blue luster lit up again.
At this moment, the distance between Doggy Two and Doggy Three was less than a meter.
At this rate, the arrival of the arrow could end in a double kill. Dean McKenzie absolutely couldn’t let this happen, so he clenched his teeth and slammed into Doggy Three in front of him.
With Dean McKenzie’s impact, Doggy Three accelerated dramatically, putting distance between itself and Doggy Two before the icy blue arrow arrived. It collided with the chilly blue arrow that was initially aimed at Doggy Two, saving Doggy Two’s life.
Regrettably, poor Doggy Three was directly taken out by the icy blue arrow on the spot.
With 16 points of damage, it directly exploded when it hit Doggy Three, not even leaving behind its leather armor.
Dean McKenzie’s heart was bleeding. After all, that was worth 5 Silver Coins, no, including the leather armor, that was 11 Silver Coins.
Fortunately, Doggy Three’s death wasn’t in vain.
Dean McKenzie rolled into the range of Bone Fang, shot the Bone Fang, which had already finished chanting, directly hitting the kneecap of the Skeleton Archer’s left leg and getting stuck there.
This caused the Skeleton Archer, who had missed and wanted to retreat, to slow down dramatically.
Dean McKenzie seized the opportunity to command Doggy Two to strike again while re-chanting Bone Fang.
The Skeleton Archer lifted his hand and shot an arrow at Dean McKenzie, who neither dodged nor evaded, choosing instead to command Doggy Two to take the hit.
It wasn’t an icy arrow after all, just a regular one. Wearing a Rotten Leather Armor with a 5-point defense, Doggy Two could withstand it, provided its head wasn’t blown off.
After Doggy Two had forcefully taken the arrow, Dean McKenzie shot another Bone Fang at the Skeleton Archer’s hand, knocking the bone arrow in its hand away.
Soon after, Doggy Two charged into the face of the Skeleton Archer.
The outcome for an archer who had lost its mobility advantage, gotten close to, and had the bone arrow in its hand knocked away is predictable.
Doggy Two thrust the long sword that he had just equipped, which added 2 points to his attack, into the Skeleton Archer’s eye socket and began dealing damage fiercely.
After a while, the Skeleton Archer fell, bursting into two bursts of light.
The Golden Finger tip in front of Dean McKenzie flashed…..
