Chapter 81: Good Luck (1/2)
Heavily-armored warriors charged toward the boss only to be torn by its tough pincers. The Giant Cave Monster attacked once per 2 seconds, and there wasn’t a single player who could withstand its attacks. But still, 2 seconds was a lot, it was just too slow!
Roaming Dragon had become much wiser since our last meeting. If this situation continued, the Level 70 boss would fall in less than 15 minutes!
I muttered to myself while frowning, “This doesn’t look too good…”
Lin Yixin’s expression was just as stern as mine. She asked softly after hearing my mutter, “What do we do? The situation is extremely disadvantageous toward us. Roaming Dragon put several parties on the outside so that no one can disrupt them. Our chances are dwindling.”
I nodded. “Their combat rhythm is pretty much perfect right now. If we don’t disrupt it, we’ll become the losers of this battle.”
In this case, I was a lot more experienced than Lin Yixin because I was a veteran in VRMMO games. Lin Yixin probably hadn’t dabbled in this type of games until Heavenblessed, so she couldn’t compete against me in certain areas no matter how talented or intelligent she was.
“Charge them from the right and distract the players on the outside for a moment. I’ll use this opening to assassinate their high-level archers and mages. Our chance will arise if their DPS falls behind!”
I looked at Lin Yixin’s beautiful face and voiced my thoughts.
Lin Yixin looked a little confused. She stared at the black mass not far in front of her and said, “Me? Wouldn’t I be shot into a porcupine the moment I revealed myself? Isn’t this a little too dangerous?”
I nodded. “Your chances of survival will be extremely low!”
“Then why are you making me do this?”
“Because I would fare even worse than you. You’re a Wanderer, right? You have a lot of Defense thanks to Protective Aura!”
“Hmph!”
Lin Yixin slowly pulled out her sword and looked into the distance. She said quietly, “Lu Chen, I can tear a hole in their right side, but only for 30 seconds. I can’t guarantee anything more than that. Are you sure you can slip into their formation during this time?”
“Mn, no problem. Go!”
“Alright~”
Lin Yixin and I split up and went our own ways while our people watched our backs.
Not bothering with pretences, Lin Yixin charged and launched a direct attack against the enemy. Milky-white Killer Wind surrounded her blade before passing through two mages in a beautiful arc, killing them instantly. Lin Yixin then forced her way into the middle of their formation and swung her blade twice, claiming another two archers’ lives in the process.
“Ambush! We’ve been ambushed!”
The formation at the Mad Dragon guild’s party panicked. Clearly, Lin Yixin’s aggressive movements had put a lot of pressure on them.
Rustle rustle...
541!
It was an unquestionable one-shot!
The moment the tamer was dead, a small, green totem on the ground vanished into thin air. It was a Detection Trap that could negate my Earth Escape!
I noticed this earlier, but the Mad Dragon guild’s party only had 3 tamers despite being thousand men strong. Moreover, this Level 41 tamer was the strongest out of all of them. Now that he was dead, no one could detect me anymore!
Swhoosh!
My body turned into red light and sank into the ground. I activated Earth Escape the second the tamer was killed, so swiftly and sneakily that most of the present players didn’t even realize what had transpired before my figure was already gone. Lin Yixin was pulling off a wonderful distraction with her Killer Wind Swordplay and her natural beauty. It was no wonder that everyone’s attention was on her.
Suddenly, a cold beam hit Lin Yixin’s shoulder and caused a blood spurt. Damn, that Devil Piercing Arrow is strong! This was the first time Lin Yixin took this much damage since the start of the fight. The skill had broken through her Defense entirely.
Some distance away, an Archer was pulling her bow and aiming at Lin Yixin. It was none other than Coldmoon Rose, Mad Dragon’s best archer!
“Tch!”
Lin Yixin clenched her teeth and downed a health pot. Then, she charged toward Coldmoon Rose!
My eyes widened. Is she trying to kill Coldmoon Rose while surrounded by all these people? That’s crazy!
Coldmoon Rose was no newbie. Backing away rapidly, she fired a Volley at Lin Yixin and worked together with her allies to shoot her down.
123!
41!
12!
4!
7!
A bunch of numbers popped above Lin Yixin’s head. She was losing HP way too quickly!
I couldn’t help but shout in the party channel, “Are you crazy, Lin Yixin!? Get back now! You’ll die if you proceed further!”
Instead of talking, Lin Yixin changed her weapon into a dagger. She was going to use her trump card!
It was at this moment a Level 42 magic knight stood in front of Coldmoon Rose and yelled, “Protect!”
Knightly Protect was an incredibly powerful skill that nullified 100% of the melee damage dealt to its target. In return, the caster would be taking double damage during the skill's duration!
What a hero. He’s literally throwing his life away to protect Coldmoon Rose!
“Hehe…”
