88 Chapter 88 - The Ninth Team (2/2)
”Big Boss Sword Demon is too domineering!” everyone exclaimed. Sword Demon had just killed off a Warrior, a job class that Thieves were weak against. An average Thief would usually get killed just from attempting to touch a Warrior. Warriors had high HP and defense, so Thieves that specialized in dealing physical damage found it hard to attack them. Equipment that increased the chances of Fatal Blow, like the dagger that Sword Demon possessed, was necessary for a Thief to deal physical damage to a Warrior.
Sword Demon waved at everyone for a bit, before hurtling himself toward another target.
Actually, Sword Demon did not randomly plunge his dagger into the Warrior; he had appraised the target first before coming to a decision to attack him. Nonetheless, it was a rather risky move on his part, since the probability of the Warrior turning around with Cyclone still existed. Although the Cyclone's duration was dependent on a Warrior's amount of Rage, it was still a skill that dealt the highest damage in Parallel World. Hence, any of the low-HP Thieves that received this attack would be insta-killed. Actually, only the absurdly skilled Gu Fei would consider Cyclone as an inflexible and easily defendable in-game skill.
After disposing the Warrior and raising everyone's fighting spirit in corollary, Sword Demon targeted a Mage next.
Although fighting spirit was important in online games, it could not actually do something like tapping into the players' inner potential. The least it could do was roused the players' passion for violence, encouraging them to courageously fight even in the face of death.
The job classes with high Agility on the Past Deeds' side were very fortunate, as their guild's Priests, Warriors, and other job classes with low Agility had a hard time escaping the assault of Sword Demon's group. Meanwhile, the more enemy players Sword Demon disposed of, the harder it was for him to figure out Past Deeds' plan.
As Sword Demon pondering on this, a message came from within Yueye City; a thirty-man team had appeared in the Archer Range.
”F*ck me! What skill is this?!” the players blocking off the Archer Range cried out. Bad news arrived a minute later, ”We were wiped out!”
”How is that possible?!” Sword Demon and the rest were flabbergasted. They had placed a fifty-man group at the Archer Range. Even if they could not fend off the thirty players dispatched by Past Deeds, they should at least not be losing so quickly, especially since they had numerical superiority.
With this, they had lost control of one of their spawn points. A majority of the allied players guarding the Archer Range were Thieves, so most of them revived over at the Thieves' Union. Since the Thieves' Union was one of the spawn points closest to the Archer Range, a lot of Thieves would go over there to provide reinforcement right now. At this point, the extraordinary thirty-man team that could wipe out a fifty-man team was only a minor concern for Sword Demon.
Sword Demon was more worried about the mere thirty men he had stationed over at the Priest Academy, which was also not far from the Archer Range.
”The Priest Academy's team, quickly retreat and head toward the Warrior Encampment!” Sword Demon gave this order to their players in Yueye City's Priest Academy. He then proceeded to gather his group members who were running all over the plains. At this very moment, Sword Demon realized that it would be difficult to quickly assemble the troops chasing after the scattered Past Deeds' players again. It would definitely take some time!
Is this what they're after?! Sword Demon's heart squeezed.
Another report came from within the city at this point: ”A lot of Past Deeds' players that were previously offline have begun to come online!”
”G*dd*mm*t! M*th*rf*ck*rs, move faster! Don't f*ck*ng kill anymore. We've got a big problem back in the city!” Dusky Cloud howled like a wolf out in the open, as he abandoned the group channel.
”We've got a problem!” Sword Demon quickly sent a message to Young Master Han, ”What're you guys doing?”
”What's wrong? I'm drinking!” Young Master Han replied.
”M*th*rf*ck*r!” Sword Demon had obviously been influenced by Dusky Cloud and his buddies. He quickly relayed the issue, ”A team of Past Deeds that we had lost track of before appeared and took back the Archer Range in just a minute.”
”That's impossible. How many people did you leave behind? It only took them a minute?” Young Master Han asked, feeling shocked.
”Fifty men!” Sword Demon said, ”We don't know where they are now!”
”B*llsh*t! Where else could they go after securing the Archer Range?!” Young Master Han retorted.
”Warrior Encampment!” Sword Demon finally got it. The job class' weakness was not something that only Sword Demon's side could utilize. Their opponents must have realized Sword Demon's plan of utilizing the job classes' weaknesses to suppress the relevant spawn points. Now that their opponents rescued a whole pack of Archers, they would naturally use them to attack the job class that the Archers had the most advantage against. Currently, the fifty-man group defending the Warrior Encampment was mainly consisted of Mages, whose arch-nemesis was the Archer job class.
”Newly respawned Thieves at the Thieves' Union, swiftly make your way to the Warrior Encampment!” Sword Demon immediately ordered. His heart rejoiced when he recalled that he had already sent the Priest Academy's defenders over to the Warrior Encampment.
”What's going on?” Dusky Cloud hurriedly asked.
After Sword Demon explained everything, Dusky Cloud quickly reacted, ”Fleetfoot! Every f*cking one of you better activate your Fleetfoot!”
”They just dropped a level when they had respawned. Fleetfoot can't be used, anymore,” Sword Demon reminded Dusky Cloud.
”M*th*rf*ck*r!” Dusky Cloud cursed, ”Where did they get such a bullish team of thirty players? Did they form them slyly?”
Sword Demon did not think so. If they could form the current thirty-man group by gathering from two different locations, it should be possible for them to send more people over. There was no need to just form a thirty-man elite team.
Those thirty men must have been the ones previously manning the underground prison. In any case, Sword Demon and company were more bewildered by that elite team's fighting prowess.
