Chapter 824 - A Sham Ending
That was the moment Luo Lin felt his first sliver of fear. Most of his strength had originated from Despair. Now that it was destroyed, his original feeling of invincibility was now replaced with terror. He trembled slightly and suddenly opened his palm. Streams of flames unfurled from his palm.
Surprise flashed across Frost’s beautiful face, but she didn’t make a move. Luo Lin’s attack was easily parried by the armor that surrounded her body, not leaving a single mark. Once the smoke dissipated, Luo Lin had disappeared. He must have escaped to the depths of the Revered One’s City.
“Now, we can kill Gawain!”
While Frost’s words were very cool, it was like a death sentence the second the words flew out of her mouth. Queen Zi Shu leaped onto the city walls and raised her long sword, challenging Gawain to a fight. While Gawain was a strong BOSS, he wasn’t much stronger than Queen Zi Shu, much less when Frost joined the opposition. Clearly, Gawain had no choice but to die. With the fourteen Dragon Knights hovering over the sky, Gawain didn’t even have a chance to escape.
……
I raised my long sword and continued the charge against the mobs of monsters. This battle must be the last opportunity we have to gain achievement points, right? There was no way I was going to let this slip away…. As for Gawain, I’ll join in when he’s at the end of his health bar. Right now, Gawain still had the strength to kill us.
Qing Qian sat on the side of the wall with monster corpses all around her. It looked almost as though she was getting a little tired. After wiping away some of the sweat on her forehead, she smiled at me, “Brother Xiao Yao, I just received some news that the Eighth Hybrid Demon King, “Demon Frost Emperor” is leading a mob of Ice Ram Corps in an invasion on the Western Shores of the Sea of No Return. Looks like they’re planning on crossing the sea to attack the American Server’s main city——Iron Skull City!”
I replied, “Demon Frost Emperor? I didn’t see it in our research before. That must be another server’s BOSS, right?”
“Something like that….” Qing Qian giggled, “This Demon Frost Emperor even brought a country weapon from the American Server. Killing him leaves a 100% chance of dropping it. All that’s left is to see if there’s someone in the American Server who has the ability to kill this Demon Frost Emperor.”
I was stunned, “With the combined forces of an entire country, killing a single BOSS should be an easy task. Just what kind of country weapon does that Demon Frost Emperor have?”
Dong Cheng Yue chimed in, “It’s a weapon all us mage players dream of owning. It’s a country weapon tier staff called, ‘Staff of the Ice Queen - Aisha’s Staff.’ Without a doubt, this staff will eventually become a pain for our Chinese Server!”
“Aisha’s Staff?”
I smiled, “No worries, if we get the opportunity, we can poach the weapon from them. Aisha’s Staff, it will one day belong to our Dong Cheng!”
Dong Cheng giggled, “Well well, my dearest Brother Xiao Yao has finally resorted to using country weapons to pick up girls? Alright, if you give me Aisha’s Staff, then I’ll agree to live with you for a month.”
I broke into a grin, “Alright alright, focus on killing monsters and stop joking around.”
Dong Cheng left with a smile on her lips.
……
Everything was proceeding smoothly. Even after Gawain cast several tornado skills, an entire section of the city wall had collapsed. His right arm had taken serious damage, and he could barely lift the Purple Wind Sword. This once aloof Hybrid Demon King was now forced into an almost pitiable state of retreat.
“Grr!”
As her dragon roared, Qing Luo charged ahead. Her Dragon Sword was filled with energy as she cut deep into Gawain’s body. Gawain let out a howl and was thrown into the rubble with 35% of his health left.
“Can we go fight Gawain now?” Li Mu asked.
I nodded, “Let’s go. After that, we’ll enter the city!”
A crowd of [Zhan Long] players all charged up onto the city wall and began entering the inner city. In the distance, I could see a group of the Revered One’s warriors charging out to meet them. They must’ve been the inner city guards, similar to the palace troops. Most of them weren’t even Level 157, and they were all Tier 7 Hybrid Demons. Luo Lin stood behind the group of men with a new sword in hand as he roared, “Kill. Go and help Gawain! Messenger, call for the Sword Spirit Knights. Have those lazy bugs get the f*ck out here. If the Revered One’s City falls, they won’t have the chance to happily live out their lives anyways. Don’t forget, the last king of Tian Ling City died in their hands, do they really think that King Rob will show mercy?!”
“Kill!”
In the city, a group of players and knights had prepared their formations and were ready to meet the enemy. The Steel Blade Horsemen, the Azure Ox Corps, and the Ice Ram Cavalry were all gathered together. They immediately launched the final attack on the Revered One’s Troops. I was among them and activated my [Frost Wing]s as support. With my swords in hand, I cut into the mob. One after another, I dealt deathly blows, steadily increasing my achievement points.
Under the protection of Enchanted Painting, Fang Ge Gue led an attack to flank the enemy. This was perhaps the greatest weakness of mages. They couldn’t fight on the frontlines and needed to be protected by other players in order to launch their spells. As such, even though Fang Ge Que’s damage far exceeded my own, he was no match for the number of monsters that I already killed.
……
“Boom!”
Several Greedy Wolf Raiders burst out of a nearby blacksmith shop. Call Me Master raised her spear and leaped out of the group. She wiped away some blood from the corner of her mouth, “D*mn, Gawain’s got a lot of strength….”
