Chapter 475: Giant Purgatory Beas (1/2)
Crack!
Whirlwind passed through the boss's neck. Even He Yi had learned to attack its weakness, and her damage was amplified by the fact that she was riding the Snow Domain Windchaser. Suddenly, one of her attacks triggered another Hurricane and caused a cyclone of energy to surround the boss. Naturally, Fire Axe Hogg took the full brunt of the skill!
11098!
10733!
11542!
……
Everyone was just too powerful. Those with top-tier skill and equipment especially could deal over ten thousand damage. At this point the game had entered the era where it was normal to see five-digit damage numbers even in PvP battles, and any fighter who didn’t have at least ten thousand HP would find their lives much more difficult due to the constant fear of being one-shot.
Mages were protected by their Magic Shields, priests were protected by their Spell Shields and party members, and archers could kite opponents with their Leap. As usual, every class had their own way of surviving a deadly situation.
Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls was famous for their powerful offensives, and we proved ourselves again by deleting the Level 143 Purple Gold Rank boss's HP in less than five minutes!
Pu!
High Fighting Spirits’ battle axe abruptly shone brightly and launched an energy attack at the boss's head. He had triggered a passive skill, and it was just enough to delete the boss's last sliver of HP!
Ding~!
System Announcement: Player ”High Fighting Spirits” has killed Fire Axe Hogg. 5000 points and 1 Luck are awarded to the player!
……
Awesome, High Fighting Spirits got lucky and scored the final hit on the boss. He was rewarded with 1 precious Luck for his efforts.
The boss dropped a bunch of equipment, but I didn’t even look at them. I simply asked Li Chengfeng to pick up the loot, gathered the best equipment we had picked up so far and sent Xu Yang back to Dark Moon City to store them in the warehouse for now. It would be a shame if we dropped these items because we were killed in action.
……
By now, the battlefield surrounding Sky City was a complete mess. So far Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ formation and teamwork were almost perfect, so we had suffered almost no damage thus far. The mobs never got a chance to make contact with our backliners, and our frontliners were more than tough enough to withstand their attack.
The other guilds weren’t nearly as lucky, however, especially the solo players and smaller guilds. Those without a complete strategy or formation were simply incapable of fighting the Level 143 elites. The Barbaric Battle Souls had punched holes in their defense lines and were ravaging their backline with their blade arms.
I checked the system interface. There were over forty million players at the start of the war, but now that number had dropped drastically to around ten million. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls might have lost no one, but the same couldn’t be said for other players. In fact, one might say that the player faction of Sky City had suffered huge losses after five monster waves.
I checked our surroundings for a bit before giving Gui Guzi an order. ”Gui Guzi, run around with the Fire Blade Cavalry for a bit and help out the comrades of Sky City, will you? But you must come back the moment you hear the notice for the sixth wave. Everyone else, stay where you are and don’t break the formation!”
”Got it, boss!”
Gui Guzi addressed He Yi as ”guild leader”, but me as ”boss”. Clearly, he still thought himself as a core member of Bloody Mercenaries to this day. He was a ”fool” whose loyalty wouldn’t waver the moment he acknowledged someone. Nowadays, it was an extremely precious trait.
Gui Guzi left with the Fire Blade Cavalry. A thought later, I turned around to face He Yi. ”Eve, why don’t you go ahead and grind some mobs yourself? The sooner you hit Level 120, the better…”
”Mn.”
He Yi nodded, urged her mount and dashed into the sea of mobs like a flash of snow. He Yi was able to slaughter the Barbaric Battle Souls like ants, but the Barbaric Battle Souls couldn’t even do three-digit damage to her. He Yi’s Defense was already amazing, but Royal Road also boosted her Defense and HP by 30%. It was no wonder she could facetank the damage without any healing.
A couple of minutes later, a column of golden light surrounded He Yi as she leveled up. As expected, He Yi was an absolute powerhouse in this war, and her Green Wave Slash and Hurricane played a critical role in her success. No one could underestimate our guild leader anymore.
It was at this moment Li Chengfeng walked up to me. ”Lu Chen, do you know that Vanished God City and Wind City are experiencing a war quest as well?”
I nodded. ”Yeah, I read it in the official forums earlier. Wind City had rallied all their troops to attack a fortress of the Night Creatures called ‘Blaze Fortress’. It was apparently guarded by a super boss. As for Vanished God City, a war had broken out at the borders, and Stranger of Three Lifetimes, Predestined, and Wei-Jin North-South Dynasties were all fighting there. Every China server is bustling with activity right now…”
”Hehe, everyone’s doing their best to earn as much experience and equipment as possible. We have to do our best as well, right?”
