413 Chapter 413 - Fight! Continue to Fight... (1/2)

Eternal Dominion had the ability to take on many at once, so there was usually no need for him to cooperate with anyone. Even if they engaged in group battles, most of his comrades were mainly Fighters, so he essentially had no experience when it came to coordinating with other job classes.

When Southern Lone Blade and the other five dashed out of the wall of flames, Eternal Dominion actually had no idea that this was the result of him tossing Fire Singed Clothes to his death.

Now that Southern Lone Blade was able to get past that wall of flames, he hurtled straight towards Gu Fei. Their escape had already been cordoned off by the Electric Wall, so what other choice did he have, other than dashing forward?

Southern Lone Blade Charged, as Blackwater gripped his dagger tightly and circled around to Gu Fei's flank. Glue continued to pepper Gu Fei with his arrows to hamper the Mage from making any moves, while the Knight continuously bestowed blessings, casting his Blessing of Spirit on his squadmates that were engaging in combat, increasing their Magic Defense even as Paddy Scent Pastures and the other Priest kept their Heals up on the rest of them, no matter if they had suffered any damage or otherwise.

The six had no idea how many times they had drilled this formation, taking down countless of experts various MMOs under their encirclement.

Even Gu Fei could not afford to be careless as the three players that were attacking him coordinating flawlessly with one another. Unfortunately, it was Blackwater, who was attempting to ambush him on the left, that seemed to be just a beat slower.

It was such a pity! Had the Thief been quicker by that bit, I might really have no way to escape this formation, Gu Fei thought to himself as he darted over to his left.

Almost at the same time, Southern Lone Blade forcefully halted his steps, cancelling his Charge.The shield on his left hand reached out and shot towards Gu Fei's face, as the sword on his right came slashing in as well. Blackwater had also arrived, but his positioning was off so he could not use Backstab or Bludgeon. All he could do was a basic attack.

It was still a stabbing attack, but Gu Fei did not have any trouble resolving it. The attackers had all positioned their attacks high, so all he needed to do was stoop low and unleash his Twin Incineration… Just as Gu Fei was thinking this, he suddenly heard a loud cry from Eternal Dominion, ”Incoming arrow!”

Gu Fei was surprised to hear this, hurriedly twisting his body to the side as he heard the sound of rushing air that an arrow produced come flying from under Southern Lone Blade's shield, clipping the very corner of Gu Fei's clothes.

That was close!

Gu Fei broke out into cold sweat at this. He would have never expected that the flaw in this three-pronged assault of theirs had actually turned out to be a trap that they had rehearsed. After stepping into position, Southern Lone Blade had immediately punched his shield out in such a way that it blocked Gu Fei's line of sight. Neither Blackwater nor Southern Lone Blade were the ones that were meant to deal the killing blow, that role had actually been relegated to Glue. The two melee players had been nothing but a diversion to cover up this ploy of theirs.

Had it not been for the warning from an onlooker, Gu Fei had no doubt he would have eaten that arrow in its entirety.

But while Gu Fei may have managed to dodge this attack, he was now placed in a vulnerable position as this twist of his body sent him perfectly into Blackwater's attack. This allowed the Thief to ruthlessly stab Gu Fei with his dagger, but thankfully it was just a basic attack, so the damage was nothing too alarming. When Gu Fei saw Southern Lone Blade raise his shield once more to cover his own face, he instantly realized how futile it would be to get entangled here and hurriedly retreated several steps in response.

Gu Fei could see Eternal Dominion was already racing over to Glue in an attempt to offer some sort of assistance. But the enemy they were facing was very strategic when it came to their tactical coordination; the Knight had recklessly came forward in an attempt to block Eternal Dominion, and even though that man was soundly thrown out in two or three moves, it was the intent that counted. Had they not been facing this two immensely formidable kung fu duo, there was probably no chance Southern Lone Blade and his men would have lost here.

After flinging that Knight out of his way, Eternal Dominion rushed up to take on Glue, but of course the Archer was not foolish enough to take on Eternal Dominion in melee. He held the clear advantage when it came to movement speed compared to the Fighter, so he immediately turned and ran. At the same time, Gu Fei's Electric Wall had finally ended, which opened up room for Glue to dash ahead.

However, his comrades were still locked in battle at the moment, so obviously he was not going to flee entirely. But if he was able to lure Eternal Dominion away and allow the rest of his squadmates to focus on Gu Fei alone, they just might have a chance to actually kill their target. Hence, he ran on and continued to fire his arrows at Eternal Dominion in an effort to provoke the man.

Sadly, Eternal Dominion was resolute and firm. His only thought was to kill Southern Lone Blade and earn money, so he did not even bother when he saw Glue run away. More importantly, Glue's arrows were essentially no threat to him, so all he had to do was casually twist and weave to dodge the projectiles sailing towards him.

Gu Fei was not even in the least bit disadvantaged even though he was facing two opponents at once, but he only had enough mana for a single Twin Incineration, so he had no desire to waste it and was searching for the perfect opportunity.

Eternal Dominion had came over to grant him aid, while Paddy Scent Pastures and the other Priest risked their lives trying to obstruct him, which only resulted in Eternal Dominion casually sending them to eat dirt with a simple punch and kick.

But one of the Priests was persistent. He did not give up despite falling on the ground like that, his hands deftly shot out to grab onto Eternal Dominion's calves as he shouted at Glue, ”QUICK SHOOT HIM!”

Plenty of players argued about this method of PvPing: withstanding all the damage dealt while attempting to restrict the motion of the enemy. Real experts would not attempt to use such a method, but Southern Lone Blade's seven-man squad had no qualms about it. They did not care what method was used to obtain what they wanted, since the result was all that mattered.
