Chapter 804 - Legendary Scroll (1/2)
Lei Su ended up falling victim to the curses of the Warlocks. With his stats greatly reduced, several drow Thieves had ganged up on him and stun locked him to death.
Though Warlocks might not possess the greatest damage threats, their curses were beyond terrifying. Some of the more powerful ones could leave a player completely powerless in battle.
Only Priests and Paladins could dispel the curses of the Warlocks. Unfortunately, Nie Yan’s team only had three Priests and one Paladin, and they were kept busy by the enemy. They couldn’t possibly watch over everyone. So, casualties were inevitable.
「Bladelight, watch over the equipment Lei Su and Summer Bug dropped! Don’t let the enemy snatch them away!」Nie Yan shouted in voice chat.
「Don’t worry. With me here, no one will be taking anything!」Bladelight first bulldozed his way to Summer Bug’s corpse, and then to Lei Su’s. He was like an iron fortress, no one could stop him.
In spite of the fierce resistance of the Blood Reaver Corps, the battle was still sliding in Asskickers United’s favour.
Nie Yan and the other Masters were mentally tough. They took the battle slowly and steadily. Each of them faced off against at least three opponents at once. Some even held their own in a one on five. As for those who fell, they were unfortunately caught off guard.
The losses for the Blood Reaver Corps started adding up. After their casualties rose above 20, their battle formation began to collapse.
「Boss, we can’t hold out any longer!」Autumn Gust cried out anxiously in chat.
Blood Devil clenched his fists. His heart was filled with unwillingness. From the moment Conviction was released, they’d never lost a battle. He’d led his Blood Reaver Corps through countless battlefields. Their name instilled fear in everyone! They were never afraid to take on a force many times bigger than their own. Yet now, on this battlefield where they outnumbered the enemy more than three to one, they were crumbling apart. They couldn’t even withstand a single blow from these Masters in Asskickers United.
「We haven’t lost yet!」Blood Devil quickly retreated to the side, then shouted,「Shadow, cover me!」
Dark Shadow immediately knew what Blood Devil was planning.「Understood!」His gaze fell on Nie Yan. But he only saw a blur before losing track of him. Feeling nervous, he activated his ocular skill Blood Eyes and quickly locked onto Nie Yan. He brandished his dual blades and pounced forward.
Blood Devil had retreated a dozen meters. Taking out a golden scroll from his bag, he started chanting.
Seeing Blood Devil activating a high level scroll, Nie Yan’s heart trembled. He had to stop him!
When Dark Shadow saw Nie Yan change direction, he charged over from the side to intercept him while shouting anxiously,「Bat, Gust, help me stop him!」
Dark Shadow was far closer to Blood Devil than Nie Yan was. He blocked Nie Yan’s path forward and stabbed out with his two shortswords.
Nie Yan switched to a reverse grip. KLANG! He blocked Dark Shadow’s attack. Then, he leaned to the side and slashed at Dark Shadow’s neck with Zennarde’s Sword.
Dark Shadow hurriedly crossed both his shortswords to block. KLANG!
As Zennarde’s Sword came in contact with the two shortswords, Nie Yan spun around with a ruthless sidekick. BANG! Dark Shadow felt a powerful force ram into his stomach as he was sent flying.
Nie Yan pounced after Dark Shadow, about to follow up with another attack and finish him off. However, a drow Thief interrupted him.
Autumn Gust was nervous. His body felt somewhat rigid and stiff, as he tried to stun Nie Yan with a Smothering Strike.
“Even trash like this can become a Silver Wing? This battlefield is for adults. Go home, kid.” Nie Yan’s cold voice seemed to come from the depths of the underworld.
Before Autumn Gust could react, Nie Yan drove an elbow into his solar plexus. He immediately bowed forward like a shrimp. He let out a heavy groan as he clutched his stomach, holding back the urge to puke his guts out. The pain was so excruciating he could hardly breathe.
Nie Yan never considered the drow Thief before him as a worthy opponent. He slashed Autumn Gust’s throat and finished him off.
Another enemy killed!
Five more players from the Blood Reaver Corps rushed over. Nie Yan made quick work of them, cutting down three and sending the other two flying with a kick.
Nie Yan was like a death god walking on the battlefield.
Dark Shadow felt his blood freeze over. These normally unrivalled Silver Wings were nothing more than fish on the chopping board in front of Nie Yan. Many of them didn’t even know what happened. One moment they were running to intercept Nie Yan, the next they lay dead on the ground.
Finding only he could stop Nie Yan, Dark Shadow felt a lot of pressure. He took several small steps back, but he didn’t flee. He was the only thing keeping Nie Yan away from Blood Devil!
They were about 10 meters apart. Dark Shadow could hear his own heart beating in his chest.
Nie Yan suddenly accelerated as his silhouette blurred.
