Chapter 381 (2/2)
Xu Yang nodded before breaking into a grin. ”Regardless, Li Chengfeng definitely proved himself to be a match for Farewell Song at least. Also, did we just beat Warsky Alliance in a direct battle? Does that mean we're overall stronger than Warsky Alliance?”
He Yi replied with a smile, ”That's right. Now focus! It's time to take down the boss!”
”Mn!”
……
Legendary Brave picked up the s.h.i.+eld Laughing At The Heavens had dropped and threw it into Gui Guzi's hands, saying, ”Dragon warriors can't use a s.h.i.+eld, so this is yours…”
Gui Guzi stared at the s.h.i.+eld in astonishment. ”2-star Outstanding Dark Gold–grade…”
Li Chengfeng hadn't even checked the s.h.i.+eld's stats before he pa.s.sed it to Gui Guzi. He was a wealthy man, so he didn't collect every penny he found on the ground.
Of course, Gui Guzi accepted the s.h.i.+eld gladly and promised to treat Li Chengfeng when he was free. Li Chengfeng nodded before patting Gui Guzi's shoulder. ”Don't forget your promise! The next time I'm in Suzhou, I expect you to treat me for a whole week!”
Gui Guzi laughed heartily at that.
I walked to the front and looked at the boss standing absentmindedly at the distance. After killing all the Warsky players it could kill and losing the aggro, the boss looked a bit lonely from here.
Therefore, I ordered, ”Get ready, everyone. You should've all seen it already, but this boss has a close-range skill that deals damage over time to anything within a certain range. It's actually a bad idea to swarm it, not to mention that our priests wouldn't be able to heal our frontliners in time to save them. The best way to tank this boss is to send our best tanks to the front one by one.”
”Yeah!” Legendary Brave nodded in agreement. ”I've tested out the boss's Attack just now, and I can tell you that it can delete over 70% of my HP in one hit. Long story short, it can one-hit or two-hit kill almost anyone!”
He Yi asked, ”Who should be the first tank then? Priests, please enter your respective positions and get ready to heal.”
Du Thirteen said, ”Little Gui has the highest Defense and HP out of all of us, so he should go first!”
I nodded. ”Alright then. Little Gui, you first!”
”Mn!”
……
Gui Guzi nodded and rushed the boss fearlessly. Then, he executed Flame Thrust and Blaze to draw its aggro on him. However, the boss was huge, and Gui Guzi was only tall enough to reach its knee cap. The damage he dealt to the boss was mind-bogglingly pathetic—
398!
411!
Gui Guzi's eyes turned as wide as saucers. ”f.u.c.k, my… my skill is Rank 9, and Boss Broken Halberd's Martial G.o.d is still active. How is my damage so low…”
Li Chengfeng smiled. ”Eh, I think it's fine. None of Warsky Alliance's archers managed to hit it for over 100 damage, you know…”
Gui Guzi: ”...”
Tickled by the ant that was Gui Guzi, the boss let out a roar and swung its fiery arms at him. To our surprise, it was the skill Desperate Gambit!
Bang!
Gui Guzi's s.h.i.+eld shook like a leaf when the blow connected. He also lost an incredible amount of HP!
7942!
Everyone was stunned by the boss's power. If even Gui Guzi couldn't tank the boss safely, then the rest of us would only fare worse.
Beiming Xue cried out, ”All long-range players, get ready! Mages, I want you to hit the boss with Ice Dragon Howls! Don't worry about OT and just hit it with everything you got!”
Murong Mingyue also brought Moon Dew and several other priests to the frontlines and focused all their healing on Gui Guzi while the latter was doing his best to keep the boss's aggro on him at all times.
Boom boom boom!
Our mages started unleas.h.i.+ng their Ice Dragon Howls on the Desert Giant King. Although we didn't have a super mage like Luo River G.o.d of the Capital, everyone was able to deal a sizable amount of magic damage. In Moonlight Stone's case, every Ice Dragon Howl she fired at the boss dealt around 1500 damage or so because she had good level and equipment.
Beiming Xue also dealt a lot more damage to the boss than Gui Guzi. For example, a single Evil Spirit Volley from her deleted around 1000 HP from the boss's health bar. It was to be expected, however. Gui Guzi was a 3-Stamina 2-Strength defender, so it was only natural that he had less attack power than Beiming Xue.
The rest of us frontliners simply stood at the sidelines and waited for our turn. If Gui Guzi died, then one of us would replace him. If someone tried to take the boss from us, it was also our responsibility to stop them. We wouldn't give up the boss's experience and equipment to anyone!
Suddenly, the Desert Giant King roared and charged toward the mages. It was an OT! With just one sweep of its arms, the boss had one-shot all the mages within its attack range except Moonlight Stone, who was saved by her powerful Magic s.h.i.+eld!
Xu Yang frowned. ”This isn't good. Gui Guzi can tank the boss without dying, but… he didn't have enough offensive power to keep the boss's attention on him at all times. If this continues, we will suffer huge losses…”
I gripped my sword and stepped out. ”I'll go!”
He Yi and Li Chengfeng nodded at the same time. ”Yeah, it has to be you!”
