Chapter 476: Setting The World to Rights (1/2)
Li Chengfeng knocked aside a Giant Purgatory Beast’s arm with his shoulder and retaliated with a powerful blow to the chest. He then followed up with a Dragonbone Flurry to the armor that was so devastating that the mob couldn’t help but stumble a couple of steps despite its weight. The high-level warrior’s offense was as reliable as ever.
”Mages, slow them down with Arctic Rain!” He Yi yelled.
It wasn’t long before ice started raining on the battlefield. Practically everyone’s Arctic Rain was sitting at max rank, and although the speed reduction effect wasn’t much, it still greatly reduced the pressure our frontliners were facing.
……
Whoosh…
He Yi’s Firelight Mouse was standing on its master’s shoulder. Shaking its head left and right, it cast the Fire Rain spell that dealt massive damage to the metal armor–type Giant Purgatory Beasts. The pet’s Magic Attack was in stark contrast with its unassuming size as it was a high-tier boss pet!
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh...
Bursts of healing lights slowly healed our frontliners dropping health and kept them from dying. All things considered, our priests were one of our stronger classes, especially because the girls were led by Murong Mingyue and Moon Dew. They were powerful figures whose breasts kept all the men and women in the world alive.
I hacked away at the Giant Purgatory Beast’s body. For me, the Silver Dragon Storm that triggered occasionally was just a bonus because I could’ve cut down these Giant Purgatory Beasts with ease even without it. The Heaven-stealing Sword was so powerful that the mobs’ Defense might as well be paper.
The battle became locked in stalemate even though we were mowing down the Giant Purgatory Beasts one after another. Right now, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Snowy Cathaya and The Monarch Descends had joined together to form a triangular formation with us as the point. The three of us were also the few battle lines that hadn’t been washed away by the mobs. A dozen or so middle-rank guilds were struggling to hold on, but it was thanks to them that we were in a much better place than we could’ve been had we been forced to spread out and plug the gaps that had appeared in many places.
Still, the Giant Purgatory Beasts had successfully broken through over 60% of the battle lines on the east side of Sky City. It was a massacre. Level 145 shadow-rank mobs were supposed to appear in the higher places of Dragonbone Mountain Range only, but now they were pouring out of the light screen and hitting the normal players like a tsunami. Of course it was going to be a massacre.
Observing one such scene from afar, Du Thirteen couldn’t help but comment, ”Fuck, what a terrible sight…”
At the back, the tamer Xue Lu looked at the frontline worriedly and said, ”Thirteen, Lu Chen, stay alive, okay?”
”Don’t worry, Lulu!”
Du Thirteen mustered his courage and began duking it out with a Giant Purgatory Beast with all his might. He could lose face, but not in front of his girlfriend. Otherwise, he would be kicked out of their bed and forced to kneel before his keyboard. That would just be tragic.
……
Chaos Moon squeezed her way to my side before smiling mysteriously. ”It looks like Du Thirteen and Xue Lu are very close…”
I replied, ”Of course!”
Then Chaos Moon said, ”It’s to the point where I can feel vibration through the walls every night…”
”...” What could I even say about that?
A few seconds later, I asked, ”Thirteen and Xue Lu are staying in the same room in the base?”
”Yeah. It’s not like there are no spare rooms—in fact, there are over 20 empty rooms for them to choose from, but…” Chaos Moon curled her lips. ”It’s not like I can’t understand their passion for each other after a long separation, but they clearly don’t understand our pain. Do you know how much mental torture us singles have to endure every day…”
”Why don’t you find your own partner then?”
”There’s no one who’s up to my expectations. Xu Yang’s too stupid, Gui Guzi’s too green, High Fighting Spirit’s too idiotic, and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun is too vulgar. You are the only one who qualifies, Lu Chen…”
I couldn’t stop my facial muscles from twitching. ”I don’t mind you praising me, but why must you shittalk everyone else in the guild at the same time?”
Countless people were shooting death glares at us as a matter of course. Gui Guzi, High Fighting Spirits and everyone else who got criticized looked like they wanted to drop their Giant Purgatory Beasts and challenge Chaos Moon to a duel.
I let out a bitter chuckle. ”I understand how hard it is for a bunch of thirsty and resentful single men and women to live together, but just give it some time, will you? Once you’ve gotten used to their stupidity, greenness, idiocy and vulgarity, you’ll find them a lot more pleasing to the eye than before. This is just how humans are; there is no environment that we can’t adapt to…”
Chaos Moon: ”Fine, I’ll wait for my one true love to show up I guess…”
”Good luck!”
”...”
……
A while later, Li Chengfeng’s face turned frigid. ”Fuck, a spy of mine just told me that the Giant Storm Beast was lured away by Warsky Alliance…”
