”f.u.c.k, he killed our boss! Attack! Kill him now!”

A G.o.ds of Destruction archer shouted on top of his lungs and rushed me with a party of elite players. Oh well. I wasn't surprised because I knew that they were going to try and roll me over with numbers one way or another. If I managed to survive this, we should be able to reach the Blood Dance Legion encampment.

Swhoos.h.!.+

The Purgatory Sword was bathed in b.l.o.o.d.y light. At Rank 8, Undead Energy increased my damage dealt to living targets by 8%, and it was a useful tool that I had been relying on since the start of the game!

My blade s.h.i.+vered a little as boundless undead energy circulated through it. I charged forward and swung it horizontally in front of me, causing 8 sword energies to appear in the air and rain down on my enemies in an arc. Thousand Mirage Slash had a range of 8 yards or so, so tens of G.o.ds of Destruction players were caught in the blast!

Boom!

The skill instantly annihilated all the players who were caught in the blast. Even the melee fighters whose cla.s.ses should prevent them from being one-shot died because of the following splash damage. Screams filled the air for a time. The ground was covered in holes, and countless potions and items littered the forest floor in the aftermath.

My greatest trump card went into cooldown just like that. Technically speaking, Purple Dragon Howl was stronger, but its cooldown was way longer than Thousand Mirage Slash. The battle would be long over before I got to use it again.

I pounced toward the group and swung my sword like lightning. An Ice Ray and a basic attack later, two archers collapsed with a gaping hole in their chest. I wasn't afraid of powerful warriors, but the same couldn't be said for long-range attackers, especially those with long-range crowd control skills that kept me from being able to do what I could do. For example, Archer's Devil Piercing Arrow ignored 50% of my Defense, and magic damage was my bane!

Crack crack!

That one dash cost me seven or eight slash wounds to the arm. Clearly, these players were no small fries. Unfortunately for them, I only lost 500 HP or less because none of them was strong enough to pierce my Defense. Some of them even dealt 20 or so damage only, a pathetic number to say the least.

”Charge him!”

Three warriors activated Charge in succession and dashed toward me like lightning. It would be bad if I got chain-stunned by the enemy, even though I was Level 85 and they were Level 68. The huge level gap between us meant that the chance of me getting stunned was only 50% or so, but I still didn't want to take any chances, there were seven or eight Ice Dragon Howls already heading my way. No one could survive such a magical bombardment, no matter how strong they were.

Rustle rustle...

I took a diagonal, 45-degree step to the back and slashed in front of me, the Purgatory Sword now glowing green. It was none other than the Slayer Slash, except that this time I was swinging with the blunt side of the sword instead of the cutting edge. The skill hit the first warrior squarely on the arm.

”Ah?!”

The warrior was completely confused when the powerful strike caused him to veer off course. Even better, he stopped in front of his two allies and caused their Charge to cancel on its own!

MISS!

MISS!

Very good, the chain stun crisis was overcome just like that!

But it wasn't without a cost. Four Ice Dragon Howls landed on top of my head at the same time and dealt a number of damage—

278!

312!

347!

943!

That wasn't good. One of these mages had a high enough level that he almost deleted a thousand HP from my health bar. He had to die if I were to survive this encounter!

I opened my palm and conjured a magical formation. ”Dark Wasp!”

The Dark Wasp flew out of the hexagram formation like a loosed arrow and charged straight toward a Level 75 mage called Dominating Soul, the one who had done the most damage out of his fellow mages. I couldn't allow him to keep blasting away at me!

I took out a Rank 6 Health Potion and drank it. At the same time, I moved to the right side of the enemy party and attacked again. The archers tried to kite me, but unfortunately for them I had locked onto the farthest archer from me and activated Charge. I reached him in an instant and plunged my sword into his body!

Puchi!

3128!

After the successful kill, I spun around elegantly slashed the second archer across the throat, dealing 2456 damage and one-shot him as well. Still not pausing to catch my breath, I moved smoothly to the back of the third archer and penetrated his chest with Desperate Gambit!

I was in the zone after killing three high-level archers in a row. I was able to kill another four archers and five mages, all the while staying ahead of the enemy warriors and pets who were trying to catch me with good movement. Tenacity of the Dead allowed me to restore a huge chunk of my HP instantly, Ghost Deity Armor was a solid skill that increased my Defense drastically, and Wild Roar gave me extra 15% attack power. I was like a G.o.d of death drilling holes into the 50-man party from every direction!
