Chapter 314 (2/2)
I called them broken because Beiming Xue had finally shown herself at the edge of the forest and fired an Evil Spirit Volley at the mages. Purple, ghastly projectiles either tore apart their Magic s.h.i.+elds or penetrated their cloth armor with ease!
MISS!
2563!
MISS!
3103!
The mages who activated their Magic s.h.i.+elds first had survived, but not those who chose to attack me with Ice Dragon Howls even before activating their own defenses. Beiming Xue's sneak attack had appeared from behind the enemy formation, and her attack power was comforting to say the least!
At the same time, a das.h.i.+ng figure burst out of her hiding and stunned a mage without their Magic s.h.i.+eld with Charge. My beautiful guild leader stabbed her prey right through the chest with the Soul Stealing Spear and one-shot them with ease!
4102!
I was a bit surprised by how much damage she dealt. In fact, it wasn't too far behind my own damage. The Soul Stealing Spear, a Purple Gold–grade weapon, was just that incredible.
While the enemy fighters were letting out a battle cry and running toward me, I had locked onto another archer and activated Charge. Charge had a very short activation speed, and most players simply didn't have the skill to force a MISS. Moreover, if the Charge's user successfully predicted the enemy's movement beforehand and landed a series of follow-up combos, then it didn't really matter if the opponent dodged the initial stun and damage.
I swung the Purgatory Sword at the archer's neck and one-shot him instantly. However, the fighters behind me had locked onto me and used Charge!
”f.u.c.k!”
There was no way in h.e.l.l I could dodge this or avoid getting stunned by so many Charges!
So I raised my sword in front of me and activated Guard!
Clang clang clang...
As expected, most of the fighters did no damage to me. However, I was ultimately stunned after seventh or eighth MISS!
The stun only lasted a second, but someone actually managed to seize that short time window and used Crus.h.i.+ng Blow on me! How shameless!
1204!
d.a.m.n, that hurts. Crus.h.i.+ng Blow truly was the bane of all Guards!
My HP had dropped to one-third in just two seconds. Two enemy magic knights laughed excitedly at my misfortune, ”Wahaha, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand is almost dead! Let's kill him and take revenge for boss, brothers!”
But three columns of holy light flashed atop my head and warmed my whole body. It was of course Murong Mingyue, one of the best priests in the entire Sky City!
1104!
1784!
1890!
Gladdened by the sight of my full health bar, I smiled eerily at my opponents before jumping into the air and hitting the ground with my sword. Blood and thunder instantly split the earth in half—War Crus.h.!.+
All the fighters around me turned pale with shock and despair. Everyone could tell from the visual effects alone that it was a powerful skill, not to mention that it was executed by my own hands.
4104!
4430!
4137!
……
A column of damage numbers appeared above everyone's head, and not a single player managed to survive my attack. War Crush was a triple-hit skill, so a highly skilled player such as Farewell Song could absolutely dodge the second and third hit. Unfortunately, none of the players around me were capable of such a feat, so they ate the full brunt of War Crush and died. It wasn't a skill that even a full-health magic knight could endure!
Crack!
He Yi killed the last player of the party, a tactician and smiled at me. ”That was simple. Now let's go. Gui Guzi and the others are still waiting for us!”
”Yeah!”
I gripped the Purgatory Sword and charged into the forest. Not only could I hear the sounds of battle directly ahead of us, I could see flashes of skills peeking through the foliage despite it being nighttime inside the game. Even the edges of Blackwater Bog were rife with conflict.
The second I burst into a clearing, I saw Gui Guzi holding up his spear and tanking a s.h.i.+tton of attacks using his Undying s.h.i.+eld at the forefront. He and nearly 50 fighters were aligned in a triangular formation, and he was looking everywhere and shouting angrily, ”Show your face if you're a man, Life of Luxury! Only a coward would let another person do his dirty business!”
At the distance, Li Le was also shouting angrily, ”Charge! Archers and mages, shoot down that undead knight first! Show me that the so-called 'Undying Knight' of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is not truly immortal!”
Gui Guzi almost single-handedly absorbed all the damage coming his party's way, his HP rising and falling like a pendulum. The enemy kept bombarding with Ice Dragon Howls, and he was in grave danger even though dozens of priests were healing him and keeping him healthy all the time. All it took was one coordinated, all-out focus-fire, and Gui Guzi might collapse where he stood.
……
Even further away, I saw Du Thirteen falling to a group of archers and losing his armor.
Life of Luxury walked up to him, picked up the drop and spat on his corpse, sneering, ”Trash, you shouldn't haven't stolen my woman! This is the punishment you deserve!”
