Xu Yang reported the information he got immediately. ”The Level 139 Purple Gold Rank boss Void Dancer has sp.a.w.ned on the west side of Sky City. October Rain and Laughing At The Heavens are tangoing with it. What should we do?”
”f.u.c.k! I can't believe Warsky got the boss…” Gui Guzi said while clenching his teeth in frustration.
I considered s.n.a.t.c.hing the boss for a moment but decided against it. ”Forget it. We're in the east, and Warsky Alliance is in the west. It'd take us almost 20 minutes just to get to the other side, and by then the boss would have been killed already. Some things can't be forced, and this is one of them.”
”Mn.”
……
We continued murdering the mobs in silence, and it wasn't long before their numbers started dwindling rapidly. There was a growing worry in my mind, however. The third monster wave was Level 139, and a.s.suming that the mobs grew 2 levels per wave, the final monster wave would be Level 153 at the very least. The system sure thought highly of us. If this war quest were to end in failure, every player in Sky City would have to hang their heads in shame!
This was an SSS Rank, or divine tier, quest. The path to completion must be paved with countless lives.
Li Chengfeng also noticed this. ”It looks like the last few waves will be incredibly difficult to deal with. Once the mobs reach Level 150, they can basically one-shot anyone just by swarming them…”
I nodded. ”It's fine. As long as we do our best and fight until the end, no one can say that we've let down Sky City!”
”Sure!”
Li Chengfeng smiled at me. ”The thought to retreat never even crossed my mind. If we die, we die rich at the very least!”
”Hahaha…”
……
Not long after, two system announcements. .h.i.t us and caused a wave of surprise. The first announcement was the usual boss kill notice, but the second announcement was a Famous General announcement. It looked like Lady Luck was favoring Warsky today—
Ding~!
System Announcement: Player ”Laughing At The Heavens (Sky City)” has successfully defeated the Purple Gold Rank Boss, Void Dancer, and reached Level 116. They have also met the criteria to become a Famous General and become the fifteenth Famous General of China! They have gained Luck +1, Tactics +1, and an exclusive Famous General Skill, ”Hundred Battles”!
Hundred Battles: Beseech the power of the battle soul and increase the Attack by 25% and attack speed of all party members by 10%! Skill effectiveness depends on the user's Tactics. Skill exclusive to player “Laughing At The Heavens”.
……
Tsk tsk, Hundred Battles was a pretty good Tactics Skill. 25% Attack and 10% attack speed was pretty powerful considering that even the highest-ranked Encourage boosted allies' Attack only by 20% at Rank 7, not to mention that a Famous General could party twice the number of players. All in all, Laughing At The Heavens' timely promotion was a huge moral boost to all Warsky Alliance players.
This meant that Warsky Alliance now had three Famous Generals and three Famous General Skills. They were Warsky's Hegemon, October Rain's Heartpiercer and Laughing At The Heavens' Hundred Battles. It was a near-perfect offensive combination.
Our Famous General Skills—Martial G.o.d, Royal Road, Bow G.o.d, Knight G.o.d and Blitz—were still far, far stronger than our enemies. Still, this meant that Warsky Alliance would still be our greatest compet.i.tor in the fight for supremacy over Sky City!
It wasn't long before the mobs were annihilated, and the battlefield was swept clean of all loot. The fourth monster wave went more or less the same way except that this time, the boss went to The Monarch Descends. Since we were allies, we didn't s.n.a.t.c.h the boss from them. We even acted as their guards so that they could secure the boss for sure. It was their fortune to take, and we didn't begrudge them for it.
The fifth monster wave arrived, and they were all Level 143 elite mobs. It was going to be a challenging battle to say the least!
Ding~!
System Announcement: All players, the fifth monster wave led by a Level 143 Purple Gold Rank boss, Fire Axe Hogg, has crossed the spatial bridge created using the Purgatory Dragon Scepter!
……
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh…
Hordes of barbarian warriors started rus.h.i.+ng out of the light screen. They were undead creatures that looked and smelled rotten, but the battle axes in their hands and their huge muscles made it clear that they were no small fry!
I quickly scanned one of the barbarian warriors to read their stats—
