TL: Last chapter before the “retirement”, I’ll still post chapters while in studying but the updates will be much less frequent, maybe at most 1 chapter per day… Sorry!
Damn it!
The moment when Soaring Dragon appears, everyone’s hearts dropped. Soaring Dragon, a player of the Ba Huang City leaderboard, is better known as Ba Huang City’s #1 mage. From level 1, he’s been at or near 3rd place on the leaderboard and this player is the guildmaster of [Flying Dragons]. Looking at Ba Huang City, there are basically 3 major guilds battling it out, [Prague], [Vanguard] and [Flying Dragons] and then there’s [Wrath of the Heroes] on the side.
But no one would have guessed that [Flying Dragons] would ignore all the boss rules and bring 100+ people to steal our near-death boss.
……
Whoosh!
General Li Mu’s face looks horrible and he angrily says, “We…Xiao Yao and us got it to the verge of death and now…now we just let them take it?!”
General Lian Po draws and fires his bow, looking with a cold expression and says, “Li Mu, you’re our boss. Go down and stall [Flying Dragons] for a bit. Xiao Yao and us will work hard to quickly finish off the last 6% of the boss. This’ll take around 3 minutes. Get us 3 minutes!”
Li Mu nods, takes his sword and goes down the hill. Facing the large group of [Flying Dragon] players all by himself, he puts his sword on his shoulder and smiles “My friends from [Flying Dragon], what are you trying to do?”
Within the crowd, a berserker comes out. He holds his battle axe and he has the leaderboard emblem for Ba Huang City. Ranked 7th, it’s Fierce Tiger. He rushes towards Li Mu and laughs, “Li Mu, we are here because of a friend. They were only halfway through killing the boss and they couldn’t kill it anymore. We are here to finish up their job. Please leave this area, we don’t want to be troubled by you.”
Li Mu frowns, “What friend? They entrusted you to finish this up?”
Soaring Dragon raises his staff and bellows, “We received Tyrant of Western Chu’s invitation to kill the boss and now you’ve taken the boss that was originally ours. I have nothing more to say, leave now or face the consequences.”
He glances at the boss’s HP bar and the killing intent in his eyes burn brighter.
General Ba Qi yells, “Ha! Finish the boss? We fought this boss from 100% HP to now, you [Flying Dragons] are obviously trying to steal the boss! As one of China’s top 10 guilds, you do such underhanded things? Ha!”
Soaring Dragon steps on the ground with one foot and instantly a [Mana Shield]’s golden glow surrounds his body, guaranteeing within a certain amount of time he will take no damage. It’s a skill gained from the second promotion, a mage with [Mana Shield] is pretty much guaranteed to not die for a while. I heard this morning, a level 40 berserker attacked a level 40 mage and after 14 hits, the level 4 [Mana Shield] broke. I cannot imagine how tough the shield is.
He raises the staff and with a whoosh, ice and fire appear and twirl!
Bang!
The glow of fire and ice appear under Li Mu and pushes him back a few steps and also taking away 900+ HP. This is the power of the top class mages. Against warrior type players, they can pretty much kill after 2-3 attacks. When a level 40 mage has [Mana Shield], they are the #1 enemy of heavy armor type classes!
“Damn it…”
Li Mu backs a few steps and a whiff of frost forms on his battle boots; that’s the slowing effect of the [Pillar of Ice and Fire]. Li Mu is ranked 3rd in Ba Huang City while Soaring Dragon is ranked 4th but the difference in strength isn’t too huge.
With eyes full of anger, Li Mu drinks a health potion and says while grinding his teeth, “You shameless [Flying Dragon] guild, you really don’t know any shame!”
Soaring Dragon’s eyes are cold, “What are you waiting for? Kill all the players that aren’t with our guild. This Purple-tier boss is ours!”
Clang!
Li Mu pulls out his heavy sword and raises his head. With a proud tone, he laughs, “Come! I’ll die, but I will let you bunch of people know. A game might be a game but a person’s heart is the same. A person who bullies the weak will never be strong and only scum bully. I, Li Mu, hold the most contempt for people like you!”
……
In the hill, General Wang Jian takes his sword and jumps down. He yells, “Ba Qi, come with me, we’ll go help Li Mu! We’ll leave the boss to Xiao Yao and Lian Po!”
I strike on the boss’s head and nasty blood spurts and splashes everywhere. I say, “You all be careful, try your best not to die. It’s really too hard to train your level these days!”
Wang Jian holds his longsword and laughs, “Xiao Yao Zi Zai, to be able to be friends with you is really a good thing in life. Sadly you can’t come with us and die in battle!”
With a clang, air whooshes from my feet and it also starts to glow, I use [Strength of a Thousand Men] on the boss’s chest. I laugh loudly, “Don’t worry, if you all die then I won’t be able to live either. [Flying Dragon] isn’t merciful at all, but before I die, I will kill a few more scum!”
“Good!”
……
“Kill Li Mu first!” Soaring Dragon waves his staff around and attacks with [Rock Spikes] at Li Mu’s leg. The chain of damage numbers that pop up are extremely terrifying and in a blink, the #3 Li Mu is in a critical condition!
Whoosh!
“+600!”
A hired healer heals Li Mu from afar and it barely pulls him back.
Ba Qi raises his battleaxe and screams while charging. The axe cuts into a monk’s shoulder and with a spin of his body, Ba Qi uses a level 5 [Flame Axe] + [Fire Axe] to attack continuously. The monk cries out and dies like that. It can’t be helped, berserkers’ explosive damage are extremely strong. Ordinary attacks can do 800+ HP and with [Flame Axe] an attack can do over a thousand!
Soaring Dragon’s eyes go cold and says, “Fierce Tiger, hurry and kill General Ba Qi!”
On the side, Fierce Tiger rushes up and rams into Ba Qi. With a clang, both of them get knocked back a few steps and while being knocked back, an [Icicle Spell] hits Ba Qi’s chest. He gets slowed significantly and also drops 774 health. Soaring Dragon’s magic attacks are powerful and accurate!
“Die!”
Fierce Dragon takes his battleaxe, goes up and uses [Flame Axe]!
