Chapter 268: Running Away When Youre the Quest? (2/2)

The blood wings on his back suddenly split and crystallized into a dozen long, narrow and sharp structures resembling spider legs, stabbing out at the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior who was caught off guard from every direction – just like a spider on the hunt!

“Black Dragon Hellfire!”

Having been waiting for this moment all along, Edward promptly raised his hand and blasted the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior on the back.

It didn’t hurt the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior since he was immune against all fire-type spells, but the impact force from the skill itself was real-two of the red razor-sharp joints only managed to scratch the Tiger Warrior, avoiding the fate of him becoming the first dish of the Revived Nightstalker in his awakening

But even though Edward had assumed that the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior would keep fighting, he didn’t expect him to drop to his knees with a look of anguish after avoiding the Nightstalker’s fatal blow. He was even shuddering, the flames over his body now fluctuating and looked like a mess all in all.

Edward then noticed that there was a debuff status named ‘Nightstalker Curse’ hanging over the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior’s status bar. It didn’t cause much damage, but the victim would suffer great anguish in spirit and lose the ability to fight for some time.

“Everyone be careful. The claws on his back is cursed!”

Once he saw that their powerful support was now incapacitated, Edward stiffened himselfbeing the only remaining spiritual leader of the Players, he led the Players to prepare the second phase of their strategy against the Revived Nightstalker.

“Ho? I thought that I would wake up finding arrogant dragons or cocky elves trying to stop me. I might even compromise and say that it wouldn’t be weird to see violent orcs or the stubborn dwarves standing before me… but to think that it’s mere humans who are here for a dance…”

The Nightstalker spoke, even as his distorted form was rapidly recovering at a speed visible to the eye. “What could food like you possess to gain the courage of standing before me? Hate? Glory?”

And in the next split second, he moved – instantly reaching Edward.

The arcane shield of Happy Flames immediately kicked into the life and rigidly stopped the attacking crystalized blood joints, but it was only when the appendages were inches away from Edward himself that he finally realized that he was being attacked.

The enemy was too quick, and on a completely different level.

Any other army would probably collapse in morale once they saw the insurmountable gap between themselves and their foe, and every soldier would in turn desert their cause and flee for their lives.

That, however, was not the case for the Players.

As long as the System had assigned a quest, anything which had its HP bar shining brightly as an enemy definitely could be beaten!

“Tide Callers and Spirit Swordsmen! Slow him down right now, don’t let him get away!”

The Players who had been left at a loss immediately understood Edward’s intention, in spite of the Revived Nightstalker’s dominance, he wasn’t immune to debuffs like the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior was, and the Players regained the feeling of being in a dungeon and farming a Boss.

Hence, all of them rushed up and encircled the Nightstalker, bent on defeating the last Boss in typical Player style!
