Chapter 132 - Team Wiped Out (1/2)

Since Shadow Cloak failed, it wouldn’t be easy for Zhou Yebai to use Phantom Ghost. Phantom Ghost wasn’t an instant cast. It was a summoning skill that had a cast time. As a result, if he just openly began summoning, it would definitely be interrupted.

Even though there was no way for Phantom Ghost to be openly cast, his White Night Black Day was already standing out in the open. Seeing that his plan had failed, he immediately sent out a Ghost Slash.

Phantom Ghosts obviously weren’t the only skills that Ghostblades could use. They also had a few attack skills. Even though Ghost Slash was a low-leveled skill, its direct damage was quite high. However, it had a very long delay, so there were a lot of openings after using it. However, Zhou Yebai had calculated the distance and determined that there was enough time for the delay to finish, which was why he so bravely decided to use this skill.

A lot of Ghostblade skills were innately dark-attributed. Ghost Slash was one of them and fit Boneyard’s atmosphere well. A dark purple sword light came down like lightning with dense killing intent and extraordinary momentum.

Unfortunately, White Night Black Day had come out directly facing the Cross Formation’s right side, Lord Grim.

Ghost Slash arrived and the Thousand Chance Umbrella in Lord Grim’s hands suddenly opened. There was no other transformation. This time, it really was what it was. The umbrella really was an umbrella.

Zhou Yebai stared blankly.

In his eyes, this form, this usage, obviously didn’t make him feel as if it was an umbrella. In his eyes, it was clearly a s.h.i.+eld.

Apart from strengthening defense and absorbing damage, more importantly, s.h.i.+elds provided strong resistances to knock-backs, knock-ups, Stuns, Bleed, Dizzy, etc. all those status effects. Of course, the pre-condition was that you had to use the s.h.i.+eld to block the opponent’s attack first.

As a result, from this perspective, besides the stats a s.h.i.+eld provided, the surface area of a s.h.i.+eld was also important to look at. A large surface area usually meant that it had a large volume. A large volume usually meant that it was heavy. Heavy usually meant that it would be a huge burden. A huge burden affected movement speed, attack speed, jump height, etc. This was why weight was an important factor to consider. s.h.i.+elds were extremely heavy equipment. A slightly larger s.h.i.+eld wouldn’t mean that it would only be a tiny bit heavier. If you only sought after the largest s.h.i.+eld possible, then you would be moving extremely slowly like a turtle.

But Lord Grim’s Thousand Chance Umbrella was so large that Zhou Yebai even saw it as a bit shameless.

His White Night Black Day’s Ghost Slash finally hit onto the Thousand Chance Umbrella. Soon afterwards, he unexpectedly found that his Slash had caused Lord Grim to move back a bit.

Ghost Slash had a small Blow Away effect, but it wasn’t very strong. An ordinary Level 25 s.h.i.+eld could completely block this Blow Away effect. But with Lord Grim’s s.h.i.+eld, after being hit by the Slash, even though the Slash didn’t make Lord Grim completely fly away, there was still a slight knock-back. Zhou Yebai saw immediately that even though its surface area was large, it was very light, so its resistance to status effects were extremely lacking.

For this type of light s.h.i.+eld, first, it had poor defense. Second, its durability was too low for a s.h.i.+eld. s.h.i.+elds had their Durability used up relatively quick compared to other equipments. Seeing how the s.h.i.+eld in Lord Grim’s hands wasn’t able to completely resist his Glost Slash’s Blow Away effect, Zhou Yebai reckoned that if this s.h.i.+eld was given to an MT like a Knight, it might not even last for a single dungeon run.

Zhou Yebai’s judgement wasn’t wrong at all. The Thousand Chance Umbrella’s s.h.i.+eld Form, like the other forms, had a Weight of 2.3 kg. Its Durability was only 23. For s.h.i.+elds, this was a simply terrible number. However, the s.h.i.+eld’s base stats weren’t bad. The Level 25 Thousand Chance Umbrella s.h.i.+eld Form had a 24% Defense Increase and a 16% Damage Absorption, equivalent to a Level 35 Purple s.h.i.+eld.

The Thousand Chance Umbrella s.h.i.+eld Form had already been upgraded twice by “Strong Spider Silk” and “White Wolf Bristles” and was one of the first to reach Level 25.

Even though the Thousand Chance Umbrella blocked the Ghost Slash, Lord Grim still took some damage. But after eating the attack, the Thousand Chance Umbrella immediately closed. In that instant, it felt like the Umbrella had sucked in the Ghost Slash. The Thousand Chance Umbrella then transformed into the Battle Lance form, which directly stabbed towards White Night Black Day.

No matter how pro Zhou Yebai was, this was the first time he had seen such a change. In the end, he found that there wasn’t enough time for the delay to finish. His character was still in the middle of its animation, when Lord Grim had sent a lance flying forward.

Tang Rou’s Soft Mist had also moved out at this moment. Her character looked just like the initial Cloudy Heavens with seven Ice Chasers revolving around her. However, Xiao Yun’s Cloudy Heavens had been tragically juggled around by Lord Grim for thirty seconds and his Ice Chasers had disappeared one after the other. Right now, Soft Mist followed Lord Grim’s Dragon Tooth right after the Stun wore off with her own Dragon Tooth. An Ice Chaser flew out and the Stunned White Night Black Day had no way of dodging it. The Ice Chaser smashed into him, ice blossoming across his face. His body immediately began emitting a chilly aura, entering a Slowed state.

Zhou Yebai wasn’t even an opponent for Ye Xiu, let alone both Ye Xiu and Tang Rou. Ye Xiu controlled him, while Tang Rou put out damage, making Zhou Yebai’s White Night Black Day’s life drop down like flowing water. Ghostblades weren’t a cla.s.s with high defense. They wore Cloth Armor and were as defenseless as Mages.

Seven Ice Chasers fluttered towards White Night Black Days like s.h.i.+ning pearls. Chasers auto-chased the target. The only way for it to miss was to use an attack to destroy it. Zhou Yebai’s hands went out of control. Of the Seven Chasers, he was only able to hit down two of them. The other five all hit. Luckily, Chasers were cla.s.sified as Magic Attacks. Cloth Armor may have low Physical Defense, but they had high Magic Defense.
