823 Nearly Wiped Ou (1/2)
Very soon, the twenty-four players were in position behind Jiang Fei. In fact, Seven Stars Warrior even made sure they had designated Clerics. After all, the damage from the Swirling Bash was shockingly high. Without Clerics, the damaged players would very easily be killed by the boss' other skills.
Wham!
Swirling Bash was used on the players once again. This time, Jiang Fei did not ask Anew Returner to use Taunt again. After all, there were already two stacks of Insult to Injury on Anew Returner and the other players. If they were hit again, they would definitely be killed.

A large amount of damage appeared above Jiang Fei and the other players' heads. 20,000 damage was not a huge amount for Jiang Fei. However, it was a frightening amount for the players who stood behind him. Most of them were left with very little Health Points. After all, these were the leftover players that Jiang Fei had to select. All of them did not belong to Classes which had a lot of Health Points.
”Clerics! Heal them all!” Seven Stars Warrior shouted loudly in the group channel.
”The flames are coming! Everyone, dodge! Clerics, make sure everyone stays alive!” Right after the boss used Swirling Bash, it activated its Burn skill.
Although Burn was targeted at the furthest players, there was an element of randomness in it. Out of the three areas set aflame, two of them affected the furthest Hunters. However, one of the areas affected Anew Returner and the other tankers.

A significant amount of damage appeared above the players' heads. Although it was not as severe as Swirling Bash, there was a continuous burning effect.
”Everyone, get out of the flame zone!” Jiang Fei shouted loudly. If these players continued to stay in the circles of flame, it would put a lot of pressure on the Clerics.
Just as Anew Returner and the other players split up, a golden flame appeared around the boss' body once again.
”Damn! This is bad!” Jiang Fei frowned as he exclaimed. Right then, Anew Returner and the other tankers had split up to avoid being affected by the circle of flames. Therefore, they were unable to take the damage from Swirling Bash on behalf of Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei and the players behind him would have to take the hit on their own.
Wham!

As there was a stack of Insult to Injury, the damage the players received was doubled.
”Ding! Your teammate has died in battle!”
”Ding! Your teammate has died in battle!”
…
In an instant, the twenty-four players behind Jiang Fei were all killed.
”Holy crap!” Jiang Fei was beginning to panic. He immediately activated the Angel of Revenge state. He did not require the Resistance effect. Instead, he needed to strengthen his own Attack Power to kill the boss as soon as possible.
Under the state of Angel of Revenge, Jiang Fei's Attack and Defense attributes were doubled. Right then, Anew Returner and the other players who had dodged the circle of flames were now properly positioned.
”Taunt!” Jiang Fei shouted loudly. He could not take another hit from Swirling Bash as there was no one else behind him to split the damage taken. Jiang Fei could not possibly bear 500,000 damage on his own.
”Got it!” Anew Returner immediately used Taunt. After the cooldown time, Anew Returner and the other players were no longer affected by Insult to Injury.

…
After surviving the Swirling Bash this time, Jiang Fei continued to attack the boss furiously. Right then, its Health Points had already been reduced down to 60%.
”Taunt!” Seeing that the boss was about to use Swirling Bash again, Anew Returner once again took the brunt of the damage for Jiang Fei. At the same time, Insult to Injury had stacked up to two times.
”Oh no…” Jiang Fei knew that if the boss used Swirling Bash again, the players behind Anew Returner would die.
