Chapter 111: The Banquet Pt 7 (1/2)

As Xinya was lying there wondering what they were going to do a beautiful melody sounded in his ears, followed by a bright white light. Wandering Sound had used his skill Liturgy of the Damned, destroying the wisp-like monsters that were going to attack them.

Wandering Sound was about to go help Wei when he saw that she could handle the shadowy wisp monsters on her own. So instead of helping her, he ran towards the Tall Man. The bright light of his shield started damaging the monster, distracting it away from Melting Snow.

The Tall Man tried to swat Wandering Sound away, but his shield was too strong and it only caused pain to itself. As Xinya watched, he was grateful that Wandering Sound had this skill, he didn't know what would have happened if he hadn't been here.

By this time Wei had already dealt with the two tiny monsters and had run over to Xinya who was still unable to move. More of those wisp monsters had started appearing and the other players couldn't handle them all, some begin to come over to where Xinya and his group were at.

While Xinya was incapacitated, Wei made sure to protect him by shooting any and every wisp monster that came in her sights. While she was doing that, Wandering Sound mana was draining quickly, in another couple of seconds his shield would break and Melting Snow would be in trouble.

Knowing that his shield was about to give out, Wandering Sound called out to Wei, ”Roaming Wind, come switch places with me. I'll protect Drifting Cloud, while you help Melting Snow.

Killing off two wisp monsters that were attacking her, she checked to make sure no more was coming before aiming her guns at the Tall Man. Taking the shot, she knocked him back, allowing Wandering Sound to put down his shield and drink a mana potion.

Between looking out for Xinya, and the shadowy wisps, they brought down the Tall Man's health to 50%. At that time the Désorienter Goo that the Tall Man hit Xinya with wore off. With Xinya back in the fight, they knew they would be able to take out the monster no problem.

It seemed that they spoke too soon, one of Wei's shots missed, allowing the monster to attack. One of the Tall Man's tentacles stabbed right through the neck of Melting Snow's Flare dog. It was a critical hit draining the dog's health, much to the dismay of Melting Snow.

The Flare dog wasn't permanently dead, once a partner loses 99% of its health it is placed in a crystal orb and sent to its owner's inventory. A partner can only be revived three times by a beast tamer before it can no longer be saved.

To revive a partner is also very expensive, so most players would rather just get a new one, especially if the partner was a low leveled monster. Although his flare dog wasn't dead, Melting Snow was still distracted by it's lost, allowing the Tall Man to hit him with a sneak attack.

Five of the Tall Man's tentacles came at Melting Snow stabbing him in the stomach, it was like he became a pincushion. Melting Snow screamed at the pain, Xinya hurried and threw a floral attack potion at the Tall Man, while Wei shot it, knocking it back.

Wei kept shooting it as Xinya rushed to Melting Snow, luckily he was left with 6 health. Pulling out a potion Xinya, gave it to Melting Snow to drink. Once his health was back to full, Melting Snow was ready to dissect the Tall Man into pieces.

As Melting Snow was about to rush back into the fray, one of the Tall Man's tentacles lashed out at Wei knocking her gun away. The Tall Man than let out a loud roar, causing the floor beneath them to move around them. It was so strong that it caused them to lose their balance and fall down hard against the floor.
