Chapter 484 (1/2)

Boom!
Rocks shattered and earth flew high into the air as sword energy whistled in the wind. The attacker was no other than Snowy Cathaya's guild leader, Lin Yixin. The Fruit Knife G.o.ddess had launched an outrageous sneak attack against the boss of the ninth wave. She borrowed the Frostscythe Warhorse's extreme speed to get a jump on G.o.d Dancer before galloping away!
“Despicable…”
G.o.d Dancer's face warped into a grotesque and sinister mask as she let out a howl. She raised her jade flute in the air once more as another Flame Blast erupted from it!
Lin Yixin had activated her rear view so she was aware of G.o.d Dancer's every movement. She had already adjusted her warhorse's speed and the angle in which it was galloping. However, even though the Frostscythe Warhorse had a high level, it still had a pretty high turning inertia. Lin Yixin was going to get hit by that attack, no matter how fast her reaction speed was!
10982!
Lin Yixin flew into the distance with a soft groan of pain. She wasn't going to engage the boss in a long and drawn-out battle. G.o.d Dancer wasn't interested in chasing after her either, because she had to deal with the Floating Ice City's Black Cavalry that was charging straight for her.
……
Beep!
Lin Yixin continued to flee as she sent me a message: “Lu Chen, here. These are the boss's stats and abilities, share them with the rest of your guild. Be careful when engaging it, this Earth Rank boss is simply far too ridiculous…”
After that, she sent me a string of messages. As those numbers played out on my HUD, I couldn't help but break out into cold sweat. This girl was really daring, she even dared to challenge a Level 151 Earth Rank boss, a powerful being that had scared the rest of the players witless, by herself. And to think that this was all so she could obtain and share the boss's status window.
G.o.d Dancer (Earth Rank Boss)
Level: 151
Attack: 2350~2790
Defense: 2400
Health: 5000000
Skills: Rally, Flame Blast, Soul Arrow Rain
Introduction: G.o.d Dancer's origins have been lost in the sands of time, but legend has it that she was once a young magus of the human race who was tricked and killed by the demons. After her death, she transformed into one of the undead and gained an even stronger power in the afterlife. Coldblade the Infinite Storm took her under his wing and she is now one of the commanders of the armies of h.e.l.l.
……
I swiftly shared the boss's stats in the guild channel. The Black Cavalry would only be able to hold the line for a little while. In the end, it would definitely be up to us players to kill G.o.d Dancer. Furthermore, the prospect of the rewards obtained by killing this Earth Rank boss was ridiculously enticing, it simply wouldn't be like us to pa.s.s up such an opportunity!
The guild channel exploded into activity once everyone saw the G.o.d Dancer's stats.
Xu Yang gasped: “My G.o.d! Five million HP…”
Li Chengfeng: “What a tough nut to crack! 2790 Attack. Hmmm, given the level suppression, the hidden stats that every boss and her Rally skill, G.o.d Dancer's actual attack is probably closer to 8000 points. If not, there's no way that she could poke a warrior like Li Le to death with a single thrust of that flute!”
Gui Guzi spoke up excitedly, “When are we going to go and kill her?”
I replied, “Let's deal with all of the monsters in front of us first!”
“Okay!”
……
The players of Snowy Cathaya had also been shaken by this news. After consecutives brawls, they had even less players left than us. They would have to pause and consider their own situation before they decided to take on the boss. In truth, their core combat strength lay in Lin Yixin and the forty players under her direct command. The rest of them were good players but were inconsequential when it came to killing G.o.d Dancer. That was because this Earth Rank boss had 2400 points of Defense. After adding her hidden stats, her effective Defense might have exceeded 4000. Any player with less than 5000 Attack would not be able to deal any significant damage to her.
And if someone were to ask how many players in Sky City had 5000 Attack or more, the answer would be that there absolutely weren't more than fifty people in the entire city who pa.s.sed that threshold.
Giant Iceflame Beasts were slowly toppling to the ground one after the other as the players of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls poured their all into the fight. To our right were our guild allies, Snowy Cathaya. To our left were the Iron Cavalry of Floating Ice City. As long as we could maintain our battle lines, the only thing everyone needed to do was to pour out as much damage or healing as they possibly could. The frontline fighters of our guild were unrivaled under the heavens, so they were perfectly capable of holding the line as long as our priests kept an eye on their health bars. After all, these Giant Iceflame Beasts were still landbound monsters, so we were actually able to physically block them this time.
My EXP bar was jumping like crazy and it soon reached 47%. It was clear that the monsters sp.a.w.ned during this event were providing the bulk of the EXP. Every time I killed a Level 151 Giant Iceflame Beast, I gained 50% of the EXP it gave. But the truth of the matter was that these monsters were giving far more EXP than the usual shadow-rank monsters, so the 50% was deceiving. In fact, I could safely say that these Level 151 Giant Iceflame Beasts were giving at least ten times more EXP than the Level 151 shadow-rank beasts in the Dragonbone Mountain Range!
These opportunities to frantically raise one's level were simply too hard to come by. The players who managed to survive until now were killing monsters until their eyes turned red with bloodl.u.s.t. They were seeking their fortune amidst this danger, because it was relatively easy to get Dark Gold–grade items from these Level 151 shadow-rank monsters. In fact, Li Chengfeng was lucky enough to get Level 125 Purple Gold–grade leather wristguards. Unfortunately, they weren't an Outstanding item.
Everyone was killing as many monsters as they could to take advantage of our situation. It was clear that this opportunity hadn't been lost on any of our players.
When I checked the server, I saw that the number of surviving players had been shaved down to less than seventy thousand. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls still had about four thousand elites, while Snowy Cathaya had more than three thousand players left in the fight. The Monarch Descends hadn't fared so well during this wave and they had already dipped below three thousand surviving players, but the ones who had survived had clearly gained a lot of levels.
When I checked the point rankings, I saw that it had changed yet again.
