Chapter 475 (2/2)
”Hehe, everyone's doing their best to earn as much experience and equipment as possible. We have to do our best as well, right?”
”Of course~”
……
It wasn't long before a ding resounded across Sky City—
Ding~!
System Announcement: All players, the fifth monster wave led by a Level 145 Spirit Rank boss, Bies the Giant Storm Beast, has crossed the spatial bridge created using the Purgatory Dragon Scepter!
……
Li Chengfeng and I exchanged a look with each other. The sixth monster wave had arrived, and the boss was a Level 145 Spirit Rank boss! The real challenge had finally begun!
”Gui Guzi, Eve, come back now!” I shouted inside the guild channel.
He Yi turned her mount around and rushed back toward us. Gui Guzi and the Fire Blade Cavalry were also making their way back. The locals could deal with the stragglers themselves.
The light screen created by the Purgatory Dragon Scepter shook for a moment, and circular holes appeared all over the place. Very soon, gigantic, sinister-looking creatures leaped out of the portals and landed heavily on the ground. Their th.o.r.n.y armor made it clear that they had high Defense and HP. Their legs were incredibly short—it almost looked like they were wriggling on the floor—but their powerful arms spoke a different story. They definitely couldn't be underestimated!
When the first mob came within scan distance, I locked onto it and read its stats—
Giant Purgatory Beast (Shadow)
Level: 145
Attack: 1650~1820
Defense: 2050
HP: 130000
Skills: Shatter, Crush, Sweep
Introduction: A giant beast from h.e.l.l. These berserk and mindless animals possess enormous strength. Their tough, steely armor earned them the nickname ”Steel Fortress”, and their role can't be understated, be it in major or minor wars. They are deeply hated by the warriors of the Silver Moon Alliance.
……
”Finally, our opponents are Level 145 shadow-rank mobs. The true battle has just begun…” I sucked in a deep breath. The first five waves were just the appetizer and a test of sorts. Its purpose was to weed out the thirty million low to middle–level players, leaving behind ten million or so true elites to defend against the remaining five waves.
Gui Guzi growled from the frontline. ”Tighten the defense and make sure there aren't any holes between our defense lines and those of Snowy Cathaya and The Monarch Descends! Frontliners, do not retreat even if it costs you your life! Backliners, do not fall behind in terms of damage and healing! The time to earn experience is now!”
The thick swarm of gigantic monsters started surging toward us. Everyone knew how much experience a Level 145 shadow-rank mob could yield, and every kill netted some contribution points. Even if their total points weren't high enough to make it on the ranking list, they could still obtain EXP reward based on their contribution points after the war was over. Therefore, this was a win-win situation no matter how you cut it!
I, Li Chengfeng, High Fighting Spirits, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Gui Guzi, Chaos Moon, He Yi and the others waited tensely as the mobs moved toward us. At the back, Beiming Xue, Moonlight Stone and the others were already shooting arrows and magic into the horde!
Boom boom boom!
Explosions filled the battlefield for a time, but this time the bombardment didn't do as much damage as before. The Giant Purgatory Beasts had over 2000 Defense, so many archers suddenly found themselves incapable of breaking the mobs' Defense. Many people were disturbed by this, and the failure further emphasized the huge gap of quality between the fifth and sixth monster wave, one that might just be deadly enough to kill us!
I steadied my footing. My Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf pounced forward to tear the mobs with its tooths and claws, and I kicked off with a Burning Blade Slash. Although the Giant Purgatory Beasts had over 2000 Defense, this number was about as good as paper before my Attack. Burning Blade Slash grew stronger with each hit, and the last hit dealt over 12k damage to the mob. Adding splash damage into the total, and the dozen or so Giant Purgatory Beasts I had hit were left with only a sliver of health!
After that, all I needed to do was stomp the ground using War Crush to one-shot them all. It was the season of farming, and I wasn't nearly kind enough to surrender my experience to the others. No way in h.e.l.l I was going to let people reap the profits of my hard work...
……
Bang bang bang!
Sparks flew everywhere as the Giant Purgatory Beasts rammed into our players' metal armors and s.h.i.+elds. Chaos Moon and High Fighting Spirits had just enough Strength to prevent themselves from getting knocked back more than a step or two, but the players of the smaller, more casual guilds fared much, much worse. A large majority of warriors were sent skidding a dozen or so steps, their party formation greatly disrupted as a result. Some of the weaker ones were even sent flying into the air. It was a terrible sight to say the least.
