Chapter 548 (2/2)
After taking out 4 warriors with Burning Blade Slash, I discovered that I had punched through the enemy's formation completely and appeared on the opposite side. I looked to the open s.p.a.ce in front of me and found a giant dragon swiping and spitting its breath at the players on the ground while the main tanks—Candlelight Shadow, Blue Sky Scar, Tempest Shadow, and so on—tried to endure the attacks.
Rumble rumble rumble...
Candle Dragon's super mage, G.o.d's Dance, was throwing fireball after fireball at the boss. The Great Earth Wind Dragon was a wind-type monster, so fire magic countered it perfectly. Clearly, G.o.d Dance was the main damage dealer of this fight, and almost every magic spell she cast dealt over ten thousand damage to the boss. It was amazing.
……
He Yi, Gui Guzi, and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun quickly joined up with me on their horses. Behind me, Li Chengfeng, Chaos Moon, and the others were cleaning up the remainders of Candle Dragon's first subguild. After giving us some minor a.s.sistance, Stranger of Three Lifetimes and Blazing Hot Lips also came to us and stopped just shy of three hundred yards away from the boss. Currently, the boss's HP was hovering at around 30%, and even with the power of Candle Dragon it should take them 15 minutes or so to defeat it. We still had time.
”Why didn't you attack Candle Dragon, Momo?” I asked.
Stranger of Three Lifetimes curled her lips. ”There's no way I'm going to play the cannon fodder, okay? Look, that's Purple Lily over there. Oh, I also spot Snowy Cathaya and The Monarch Descends chatting with each other in the southeast direction. Even Warsky Alliance has shown up already. All we need to do is wait, and someone will lose patience and make the first move for us, especially since the boss is giving Candle Dragon a lot of trouble.”
”Yeah.”
I nodded and counted heads for a bit. Although I had expected this from our earlier conversation, I still couldn't help but be impressed by the fact that over 2000 Candle Dragon players had come to the B8 floor. It wasn't easy to gather this many players this quickly on the eighth floor no less. Loathsome Candlelight Shadow might be, there was no denying the power of his influence and strength.
Soul of the Wild smiled a little. ”Hmph, who would step out when Candlelight Shadow still has his Ghost G.o.d Prophecy? Or maybe you would like to be a gentleman and tank the spell for us, Lu Chen?”
I shook my head rapidly. ”No way, I'm definitely not dying here. I'll wait until Candlelight Shadow uses his Ghost G.o.d Prophecy on someone…”
Lasting hid a giggle with her hand. ”Exactly. Everyone's afraid of Ghost G.o.d Prophecy because top-cla.s.s players such as Lin Bing Dou Zhe and Laughing at the Heavens have already died to it, and they won't be the last. Just wait, the next person he's going to kill is either a guild leader or even a CGL Hall of Famer!”
I replied, ”Who knows? Just wait, someone will lose their cool before us. We have three dragon scales, so we can still send three parties to the B9 floor even if we lose this boss. But most of these guilds don't even have one dragon scale, so they'll definitely act before us.”
”Well, you're right!”
Currently, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had three dragon scales, Snowy Cathaya had one dragon scale, Warsky Alliance had two dragon scales, and Candle Dragon had one dragon scale. Everyone else—Purple Lily, Peach Garden, G.o.ds of Destruction, the Top 10 guilds of Vanished G.o.d City, and so on—had nothing at all. That was why I was in no hurry to commit suicide. Someone would play the cannon fodder for us, and all we had to do was wait.
……
As expected, a group of players started charging Candle Dragon before the boss's HP had even dropped to 20%. It was Peach Garden led by Indigo Collar, and they were about 700 strong. Unfortunately, they didn't nearly have enough players to deal any real damage to Candle Dragon.
Candle Dragon shot a glance at Peach Garden before ordering, ”Blue Sky, Tempest Shadow, you two go eliminate Indigo Collar. Hmph, this annoying fly never picks a good time…”
”Got it!”
Blue Sky Scar ran toward Peach Garden. Tempest Shadow led a group of riders and clashed against Peach Garden's players. It was immediately obvious that Peach Garden stood no chance at all as the initial charge alone cost them plenty of frontliners. At the very least, they were weaker compared to Blue Sky Scar and Tempest Shadow.
Seeing that Peach Garden was about to collapse, another person finally lost their patience—
Clang!
Li Chengfeng pulled out his Tempest Sword and growled, ”I can't wait any longer! I'm going to f.u.c.k Candlelight Shadow up right now!”
Then, he and his party charged forward before me or He Yi could say anything.
”f.u.c.k, this guy…”
I should've seen this coming. Li Chengfeng really, really hated Candlelight Shadow, and in the end, he just couldn't control himself.
