Chapter 1250 (1/2)

Chapter 1250: 401. Mechanical boss

“Captain! The Prayer Elite Monster is shielded by a force field; the Burst Bullets can’t harm it!” a female Player Gunner yelled amidst bursts of gunfire.

“We should clear out the minions first, then we can engage the boss! Shift fire! Stop wasting bullets on that mini-boss!” The Player Commander’s voice was calm and composed.

Following his command, the three gun barrels targeting Noland Lee turned and began spewing flames at the surrounding Prayer Skeleton Soldiers.

Noland Lee called up the system message in his mind.

Though he no longer had the Systems Interface, he could still determine how much longer the “Power of Senati” would last by the dynamic countdown information in the system message.

In at most two minutes and ten seconds, he would regain his ability to move.

The Prayer Skeleton Soldiers in the Treasure Room were dim-witted fools, only capable of slowly walking toward the metal cage and making clawing motions with their hands, posing little threat.

Relying on these dumb minions to buy time was clearly unrealistic.

Sure enough, just as the countdown was about to reach zero, the last Prayer Skeleton Soldier was taken down, turning into charred debris on the floor.

The Star Thieves and Players taking shelter behind the metal cages were extremely cautious, even after clearing out the minions, they remained hidden within the cages.

The combatants inside the cage adjusted the layout of their shooting ports. On the side facing Noland Lee, they opened up several more ports.

In total, thirteen large-caliber Burst Guns were trained on Noland Lee from about 50 meters away.

“Stop firing! Listen to me!” the Player Commander shouted from inside the cage:

“Unless you hear my command, no one is allowed to leave the Combat Cabin. This cabin has an Anti-death Corrosion Interlayer; as long as we stay in here, the Death Energy outside can’t hurt us! Also, when firing, follow the predetermined Shooting Sequence; do not shoot at random, and make sure there are no gaps in our fire. Everyone got it?”

“Understood!” A chorus of responses came from the cage, with approximately eight players among them.

The Star Thieves inside the cage probably couldn’t understand the players’ language, clamoring loudly for the players to get a move on and stop dawdling.

The players couldn’t be bothered with the rants of the Star Thieves.

They completed their self-checks as per their Commander’s request.

Once they confirmed that everyone was ready, the Player Commander shouted:

“Let’s fire a test shot, this boss shouldn’t be hard to take down!”

“Bang!”

A Burst Bullet trailing flames rushed towards Noland Lee.

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, Noland raised his hand, and in front of him, an invisible, transparent Barrier materialized, stopping the Burst Bullet dead in its tracks mid-air.

The high-speed rotation of the Burst Bullet was clearly visible, but it quickly ceased under the influence of the invisible Barrier, and then fell to the Floor harmlessly.
