Chapter 812 - Halved (1/2)

”Heal them!” Jiang Fei commanded.

Players that were selected by the Shadow Detonation were taking DoT damage from both Shadow Detonation and Shadow Aura. Their health was dropping so fast that if the healers were not focusing their healings on them, those five players would die.

Just as the healers were working with each other to cast AoE heals and focus on single-target heals, the boss unleashed another skill. This time, it was Dark Clouds.

Without Jiang Fei notifying them, everyone proactively ran away from the clouds. Based on past experience, which they had plenty, anything that the boss threw was never good. The dark clouds that the boss had cast was large. So large that not all players were able to run out. Unfortunately, the boss was not kind enough to wait. One second after the clouds were put out, the effect started to take shape.

”Oh, no! I can't control my character!”

”Me too!”

***

A few selected players had their character's control robbed from them. In the next second, their names appeared to be red.

”Use Hex or transfiguration on the controlled players!” cried Jiang Fei. The players that were controlled by the boss had gained increased attack and movement speed. If they were left unchecked, they could be far worse than monsters.

Hex: Sheep!

Voodoo Art: Frog!

***

Various disabling skills were cast to turn all the players that were being controlled by the boss into cute little harmless critters. Even though they could run faster than they look, they were still harmless and were unable to attack.

”Take note, the boss is about to use his ultimate skill! Those who are picked must run at the corner of the map!” said Jiang Fei. The boss had less than 70% health points left. Based on his past experience, Jiang Fei knew that at every 10% health point loss, the boss would unleash something new and powerful. The next on the list should be Deathly Spit.

”Ding! Cutie Pie, the Black Dragon Ousveil has set his sights on you!”

”Mengmeng! Run! Go the corner! Do not run into the players,” ordered Jiang Fei.

”Huh? Me? Oh! That's right,” Cutie Pie was baffled for a while before she realized that there was a red-colored icon on the top of her head. She then quickly used movement speed-increasing skill and turn backward to run.

The dragon flew downward and breathed fire in Cutie Pie's general direction. As Cutie Pie ran, the dragon followed, leaving a trail of black flames in the ground where it had struck.

”Heal Cutie Pie and keep her alive. Everyone else, please do not touch the black flames,” said Jiang Fei.

Not long after the flames were up, eight Leader tier mini-boss was spawned from the hellish flames.

”Alright guys, this goes without saying but, please take care of the spawned monsters while I handle the boss,” said Jiang Fei. Anew Returned with a few other tanks and warriors took charge and taunted the monsters away from Jiang Fei and led them to the attackers.

”That's all the boss's skill. Remember the effects. Please take care of the healers!” said Jiang Fei

”Gather together now, the second cycle of skills is starting soon!” said Jiang Fei.

”Priests, ready your AoE purging and dispelling skills. Once everyone is cleared of the debuff, all of us need to run away from each other!”

”Drink your mana potions. You guys are going to need all the mana you can get.”
