”d.a.m.n, a low-rank dragon...”
I took a deep breath. The last monster wave really was as cool as I thought. A boss like a land dragon had come out. Being of draconic bloodline, their stats were really powerful. Level 92 elite, 1190 Attack, much higher than attack of bosses of similar level!
Also, these land dragons possessed two super skills, Dragon Stomp and War Crush. While I didn't know their effects, just their names sufficed to conclude they were strong.
……
”The Swallow skill again...”
Gui Guzi gulped and said, ”It seems that we don't need to summon pets. Otherwise, they will be immediately swallowed and killed!”
I laughed. ”Even without Swallow, there's no need to summon them unless your pet's BN exceeds 100. They won't deal any damage to Level 92 dragon elites otherwise!”
”Ugh....”
The earth shuddered. On the city walls, giant beasts beat the war drums which echoed through the sky above the Violet Empire army as though they were writing a moving chapter for this war of blood and swords.
Clang!
Queen Sophia pulled out her sword and looked forward. ”For the honor of the undead, for the glory of the Violet Empire, warriors, kill!”
The undead soldiers of the Blood Dance Legion pulled out their swords and roared toward the swarm of land dragons. In response, the swarm of land dragons screamed, also extremely piercing to the ears. It was somewhere between a dragon's and a lizard's roar, extremely unpleasant!
In the next moment, the land dragon swarm attacked. The two sides clashed. The undead soldiers all slashed with their longswords, their bone swords banging on the land dragons' heads but couldn't do much damage. The land dragons' counterattack was brutal and cold-blooded!
Boom!
The land dragons raised their front paws and suddenly dropped down. Immediately, b.l.o.o.d.y light shone, forming an AoE of 5x5 yard. This was the Dragon Stomp skill. With each step, a dozen surrounding undead warriors would shake and their HP would drop!
The land dragons' attack power was too high. Used together with the Dragon Stomp, they were almost invincible on the ground!
And that wasn't the end of it. Five seconds later, the land dragons used their second skill. They raised their heads up high, then used them to crash into the ground. Rubble flew and sprayed everywhere, dealing great damage to surrounding enemies!
War Crush. It had powerful splash properties, much stronger than my Purgatory Slash's, at least 75%!
Behind me, the group of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls players looked at each other. Xu Yang said, ”f.u.c.k, the monsters are so strong, do we still need to fight?”
Honestly speaking, the first row of Blood Dance Legion fighters were killed in less than half a minute after encountering the enemy. But this wasn't an issue. The Blood Dance Legion had an advantage of numbers, many times that of the enemy, courtesy of players sacrificed to take care of the first seven waves!
I held the Purgatory Sword and said, ”Melee fighters, get your buffs. Ranged players, farm as many points as possible. More points mean better rewards when the quest ends. Everyone, keep this in mind!”
Before I finished, Luo River G.o.d of the Capital had already begun her a.s.sault. Snowstorm fell into the land dragon swarm and tore through them. The enormous lizards couldn't break through the st.u.r.dy formation of the Blood Dance Legion, and naturally couldn't do anything to Luo River G.o.d of the Capital. At this time, mages and archers were so fortunate.
……
I sprinted to the frontline, the Purgatory Sword flas.h.i.+ng with intimidating light. I used Thousand Mirage Slash. Immediately, eight streaks of sharp sword energy fell and caused strings of damage to float up. While the land dragons had 850 Defense, it wasn't much of a barrier to me. After Thousand Mirage Slash, the monsters had less than 50% HP. I just needed another attack.
Fifteen seconds later, another Thousand Mirage Slash caused an entire swarm to die. Magic stones, equipment, and treasures littered the ground. No one dared to pick them up, as seconds after they were trampled by the swarm of surrounding land dragons that filled the void. The frontmost dragons used Dragon Stomp, one of them hitting me!
657!
This damage was bearable but Dragon Stomp was an AoE skill. When the dragons at the front all used it, splash effects would overlap, and my HP plummeted. In less than 30 seconds, my HP dropped under 50%.
Behind me, He Yi's voice came. ”Moon Dew, ignore everything else, focus on healing Lu Chen. He's the main DPS, he can't die!”
”Okay!”
Moon Dew appeared behind me. She carefully maintained the healing distance, precisely 35 yards. The holy light made me feel comfortable all over. Very good. I could survive with a healer, no matter how strong the Dragon Stomp skill was!
I attacked at full power with Thousand Mirage Slash. The Purgatory Sword gave me face, and procced Purgatory Slash several times within a few minutes. The land dragon swarm roared endlessly, and my points shot up. This was the last battle. I had to earn as many points as possible!
Not far away, Lin Yixin also appeared on the frontline. The Moonlight Sword shone with milky light as an icy sword energy wrapped in flames descended from the sky, dealing damage to a vast area. At the same time, Lin Yixin took three hits from Dragon Stomp. Fortunately, she had her own priest from Snowy Cathaya behind her, making sure she could continue fighting!
As for Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Gui Guzi, Xu Yang, and the other melee fighters could only watch. They had no will to go up and fight. We didn't have enough priests and they didn't have AoE skills. If they joined, they would just waste heal spells' cooldowns. Even He Yi didn't join the fray and only used the Firelight Mouse to repeatedly cast Firewall from the backline. The land dragons wailed amid the fire, and He Yi's points kept rising!
Everyone was jealous. It was very fortunate to have a pet with such a powerful AoE!
