Swhoosh swhoos.h.!.+
Warsky and Laughing At The Heavens activated their Charges in succession. October Rain was wise to launch an all-out a.s.sault the moment the boss dropped to 2% HP. She had successfully disrupted our control and given us a ma.s.sive headache.
Not far away, along with the experts of The Monarch Descends, Little Piglet and Shangguan Wan'er were charging us as well!
……
Keeping the Heaven-stealing Sword lowered, I ran to the front and instructed in a low voice, ”Everyone, it's do-or-die time. Li Chengfeng, I want you to hold off Warsky Alliance and Hegemon Palace. I'm going to one-shot the boss with Purple Dragon Howl. High Fighting Spirits, Chaos Moon, Xu Yang, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, I leave the task of s.n.a.t.c.hing the Territory Token to all of you!”
”Got it!” Everyone nodded in unison.
I was already rus.h.i.+ng toward the boss and stomping my foot right next to its feet. The skill animation of War Crush was incredibly obvious, so Warsky, Laughing At The Heavens, Little Piglet, and the rest of my enemies dared not rush me right away. They were well aware that the skill had the potential to one-shot them where they stood!
Li Chengfeng ran toward Laughing At The Heavens and Warsky and swung his sword three times in a row, knocking both of them backward. Little Piglet was blocked by He Yi and couldn't get to me immediately.
While they were hesitating, I slid behind Gui Guzi and said, ”Little Gui, cover me!”
”Got it!”
While Gui Guzi blocked in front of me with his mount and raised his s.h.i.+eld, I swung the Heaven-stealing Sword and channeled the Purple Dragon Howl. The next moment, a draconic roar filled the air, and vast swirls of purple energies surrounded me for a time. Once they turned into a giant purple dragon at the tip of my blade, I shouted and flung the energy straight at the Death Lord. The skill engulfed the boss and dealt a shocking amount of damage—
18674!
19832!
18308!
……
Purple Dragon Howl did well over 10 times my normal damage. There was simply no way the Death Lord could've survived the attack. When it groaned and collapsed to the ground, its soul entered all Ancient Sword Dreaming Soul members' bodies as streams of experience. It wasn't much, but it still b.u.mped my experience by 2% or more.
Pop pop pop!
The boss also dropped a ton of equipment and items. I had a high turn rate, and I was the first player to react to the drops. I immediately zigzagged past Gui Guzi and grabbed the closest equipment to me. Before I could do anything else, Warsky Alliance's mages had turned the entire area into a sea of fire, and October Rain stunned me with a Shock Arrow!
”Not good!” I swore inside my heart. It was because I saw a s.h.i.+ny token at a bush close to me. It was none other than the Territory Token everyone was fighting for!
Swhoos.h.!.+
A shadow appeared in front of me, seized the Territory Token and broke my poor heart. It was an a.s.sa.s.sin who managed to elude everyone's attention so far!
”Drop that now!”
Chaos Moon appeared out of nowhere and forced the a.s.sa.s.sin out of his stealth with a sweep of her sword. It was none other than Farewell Song himself. Clutching the token and parrying Chaos Moon's attack with his dagger, he said with a smile, ”Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls will not be claiming the territory today. We will!”
”Get lost, you idiot!”
Xu Yang attacked Farewell Song from behind with a devastating Blaze. Had the skill connected, Farewell Song's HP would've dropped past the safety line at the very least. Unfortunately, Farewell Song was a super a.s.sa.s.sin and the 11th place CGL Hall of Famer, so he easily dodged the skill by taking two steps to the front. After that, he activated Shadow Dance and started moving a lot faster than before. First, he stunned Chaos Moon with a Thrust and a Gouge. Then, he zigzagged past a couple of our players until he reached October Rain's side. After he was out of combat state, he slowly raised the Territory Token into the air and used it!
It was too late. I was stunned, Li Chengfeng was busy dealing with Laughing At The Heavens and Warsky, and Little Piglet was blocking He Yi. Everyone's hands were full fighting multiple guilds at the same time!
Swhoos.h.!.+
Farewell Song used the Territory Token, and a system announcement dinged across Sky City—
Ding~!
System Announcement: Player ”Farewell Song” has used the Territory Token, and the first territory in Sky City, ”City of Death” has sp.a.w.ned. The territory's coordinates are (76984, 60948), and the teleportation formation is now active. The guild “Warsky Alliance” is the first owner of the territory, so all “Warsky Alliance” members may now teleport to the territory. The owners.h.i.+p becomes permanent if the guild “Warsky Alliance” successfully defends the territory for 5 hours!
……
f.u.c.k, Warsky Alliance ultimately got one over us!
All Warsky Alliance members started teleporting back to the city under October Rain's orders en ma.s.se. We killed the rest who were still stuck in combat to vent our frustration.
Time was slowly but surely ticking down like a bomb. If we failed to conquer the City of Death in 5 hours, it would belong to Warsky Alliance permanently.
I brought up the world map and looked at the given coordinates. ”This new territory is about one and a half hours away from Sky City. It is also situated right between Sky Forest, Dragonbone Mountain Range, and Black Coast. This is such a perfect location that countless players would be attracted to it!”
