Chapter 314 (1/2)

This party was extremely experienced. Instead of clumping up into one group, the archers and mages spread themselves in a honeycomb-like formation where they could one-shot the enemy or scatter out of the enemy's AoE spell if necessary. This formation was incredibly infamous for a time, and even to this day it was still employed very often in guild battles.
I slowly moved into position and waited for an opportunity to present itself, and it didn't take long. Ten seconds later, 7 archers, 6 mages and 3 warriors happened to be standing in a straight line. I jumped on the golden opportunity before it disappeared!
Swhoos.h.!.+
I burst out of the earth and used Thousand Mirage Slash immediately. The light of the Purgatory Sword split into 9 sword blasts and crashed into the crowd!
I had been using Thousand Mirage Slash very frequently, so it was at Rank 9 already!
Boom!
The attack turned the ground upside down and stunned the Flower Room players. Both the archers and mages were struck before they could react, and the mages hadn't even activated their Magic s.h.i.+elds because it continuously drained one's MP. In fact, many mages couldn't afford the gold to keep their Magic s.h.i.+eld activated at all times.
The skill dealt over 4000 damage to all the players caught within the blast. The archers and mages were one-shot as a matter of course, and two out of the three fighters were killed as well. The last remaining survivor was a magic knight who was running away from me with a sliver of health left in his health pool. The pale-faced man shouted when he saw my ID, ”f.u.c.k, it's Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand! Tell everyone now!”
My eyes turned chilly. I caught up to him and deleted the last sliver of his HP.
It was exhilarating to be able to annihilate 16 players in almost an instant. After losing over half their numbers to me, the long-ranged enemies looked like they had lost even the courage to attack me. Sometimes, a good show was all it took to demoralize an enemy.
It was at this moment the barbarian warrior charged me with bloodshot eyes. ”Attack, my brothers! He is one, and we are many! If we kill him, we'll be the party who has taken out a CGL Hall of Famer. Kill him!”
The a.s.sa.s.sin responded to his leader's call and turned invisible.
I took two hurried steps backward before swinging my sword gently!
Crack!
The a.s.sa.s.sin was knocked out of his stealth mode as a shower of blood burst out of his body. He was dead before he even hit the ground. Poor leather-armor player, only a top-cla.s.s a.s.sa.s.sin would have a chance of surviving a direct blow from me, even if it was just a basic attack.
”How did you…”
These were the a.s.sa.s.sin's last words. Farewell Song had asked me that question before, and the answer was very simple. You didn't need in-game detection skill or level advantage to detect an invisible a.s.sa.s.sin. All you needed to do was pay close attention to your surroundings. For example, the a.s.sa.s.sin's footprints were still visible even though he had vanished completely. With proper judgment, anyone could hunt down the invisible foe!
Farewell Song was one of the best, if not the best a.s.sa.s.sin in China, so he was of course aware of this. He just couldn't believe that I was able to determine a stealthed a.s.sa.s.sin's exact location in less than a second because he himself couldn't perform such a feat.
……
Meanwhile, the barbarian warrior had reached me while I was dealing with the a.s.sa.s.sin. He let out a growl and swung his axe at me. ”Wild Roar Slas.h.!.+”
Crack!
His axe hit me heavily on the chest and the shoulder, shaking the Obsidian Dragonscale Armor a little and inflicting a bit of pain. Unfortunately, he was a long way away from breaking my high-grade 2-star outstanding armor, and the double strike failed to do too much damage.
457!
512!
That being said, the barbarian's attack power was deserving of praise. These days, there weren't many players who could deal over 500 damage to me in one hit.
”Heh!”
The barbarian warrior turned a little pale when he heard my chuckle. We were so close to each other we could hear each other's breathing, so there wasn't a chance in h.e.l.l he could've dodged my counterattack.
Pardon! Basic attack!
MISS!
5468!
That was all it took to drop the barbarian warrior's to his knees. His body was still glowing with the energy of Wild Roar Slash, but it only took an instant to determine the victor. The gap between our level, equipment and in-game skill was so huge that no competence was necessary. All I needed to do was run him over with the overwhelming advantage I possessed.
Thud thud thud thud!
A couple of arrows. .h.i.t me in the chest and dealt around 100 or so damage per hit. Not bad. Not bad!
I turned around and took in their despairing expressions. One of them complained, ”f.u.c.k! Even Devil Piercing Arrow barely did any damage to him! Just how high is his Defense!?”
It was at this moment I heard a couple of dragon roars coming at me from the sky. It was the mages chanting their Ice Dragon Howls!
Bang bang bang!
Pain and cold ravaged my entire body when the Ice Dragon Howls. .h.i.t me. I actually lost quite a bit of HP as a result.
784!
579!
901!
……
f.u.c.k, these mages were better than I thought. I had 1165 Magic Resist, and they were still able to deal a sizable amount of damage! Were they broken magic angels or something?
