Chapter 323: Battle for the Divine Sites 1 (2/2)
Defense: 950
HP: 24000
Skill: Cleave, Discipline, Rage of Judgment
Introduction: The holy warriors of the beastman tribe belong to an ancient warmonger race, and they possess the best explosive strength and recovery speed out of all other beastmen. These holy warriors had been protecting the War Holy Temple and waiting for adventurers to receive their trial all this time. To that end, they are willing to give even their own life. The temple can only be occupied if the guardians are all killed.
……
Thousand Mirage Slash, go!
Boom!
Nine sword auras rained from the sky and hit the beastman warriors hard. Some of them had already lost more than half of their HP. Very good!
War Crush!
Three hits later, the only beings still alive around me were my allies!
High Fighting Spirits, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun and He Yi immediately blocked the entrance. We were absolutely going to enter the hall first before anyone!
Unfortunately, reality was a heartless bitch, and it didn’t hesitate to slap our faces in the form of a chilling system announcement—
Ding~!
System Announcement: Player ”Drunk in Mortals” has entered the Divine Site Hall. The guild ”World of Ages” has taken control of the Divine Site Hall. If the occupation lasts over 60 minutes, War Holy Temple will belong to the guild ”World of Ages”!
……
”Fuck! Someone got in already?” I swore.
He Yi said, ”They must’ve slipped in using stealth the second I opened the door. Hmph hmph, ‘the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind’ perfectly describes this situation!”
I broke into a smile. ”Assassin? Oh thank god…”
”Why do you say that?”
”Just wait!”
A few seconds later, my suspicions were proven true by a ding—
Ding~!
System Announcement: Player ”Drunk in Mortals” has died. The Divine Site Hall is currently occupied by no one!
……
”See what I mean?” I smiled. ”The chances of an assassin surviving in this divine site hall are almost zero. These Level 100 elite guardians aren’t decorations, you know?”
He Yi burst into laughter as well. ”Alright alright, you were right…”
Suddenly, the system dinged yet again—
Ding~!
System Announcement: Player ”Ghastly Demon Blade” has entered the Divine Site Hall. The guild ”Warring States” has taken control of the Divine Site Hall. If the occupation lasts over 60 minutes, War Holy Temple will belong to the guild ”Warring States”!
……
”Another assassin…” I thought for a moment before leaping into the air and stabbing the ground without warning. Not only did War Crush deal a great amount of damage to the mobs, it also killed three concealed assassins right next to us! The poor fellows were sent screaming back to Sky City!
Anyone who was killed at the Four Divine Sites wouldn’t leave a corpse behind. Instead, they were revived immediately in the city. This was to prevent players reviving and fighting endlessly at the Divine Site Hall.
Meanwhile, we had successfully forced ourselves into the inner area of the divine site hall. He Yi’s Firelight Mouse was incredibly helpful in this battle as it was able to unleash walls of fire upon our enemies, making them scream and drawing them toward us. The problem was that there were way too many mobs in the hall, and our small party was obviously lacking in firepower. Murong Mingyue couldn’t join in on the attack because the mobs were quite powerful, and most of our frontliners were losing health at an accelerated rate. High Fighting Spirits and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun especially were almost burdens because they dropped all their stat points into Strength, but their equipment wasn’t good enough to keep them alive. They were basically glass cannons that needed our priest’s attention at all times.
Inside the party channel, Gui Guzi asked, ”Boss Broken Halberd, what’s going on inside the hall? How the heck did we not occupy it first?”
I replied, ”It’s because some assassins slipped in ahead of us. Don’t worry, what’s ours will be ours no matter what!”
”Got it!”
……
Boom boom boom!
Thousand Mirage Slash, War Crush, Xiezhi Howl, Rock Smash. While our skills were exploding amid the mobs, we noticed a small assassin being chased by a couple of guardians at the distance. It was none other than that Ghastly Demon Blade. Damn, the bastard was a lot more agile than I thought he would be!
However, a bloody light suddenly flashed at his neck. It was the skill Throat Stab!
3721!
It was a one-shot! A figure emerged from stealth, and it was none other than Warsky Alliance’s CGL Hall of Famer and super assassin, Farewell Song!
Ding~!
System Announcement: Player ”Farewell Song” has entered the Divine Site Hall and killed the current holder, ”Ghastly Demon Blade”. The guild ”Warsky Alliance” has taken control of the Divine Site Hall. If the occupation lasts over 60 minutes, War Holy Temple will belong to the guild ”Warsky Alliance”!
……
Just like that, the divine site hall had changed hands yet again. Interesting!
I ditched the mobs while saying, ”Eve, keep clearing out the mobs with High Fighting Spirits and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun. I’m going to take out Farewell Song!”
”Be careful!”
