Chapter 477: Collapse of the Defense Line (1/2)
Ding~!
System Announcement: All players, the seventh monster wave led by a Level 147 Spirit Rank boss ”Oka the Stonebreaker” have crossed the spatial bridge created using the Purgatory Dragon Scepter!
……
Light shone brightly as countless portals appeared across the light screen. Very soon, huge monsters were teleported into Sky City through the portals. They were two-human tall half-beastman warriors covered in rusted armor and wrapped in iron chains. Half of their head was completely rotted, and a single line of flesh was all that was connecting their eyeballs to the sockets. The half-beastmen roared on top of their lungs before charging us with their giant stone hammers!
”Roar roar roar…”
The roars from the half-beastmen were literally earthshaking. This alone was enough to worry many players.
Li Chengfeng bared his teeth for a moment before asking, ”Why are these half-beastmen wrapped in heavy iron chains? Just why?”
I replied with a smile, ”There are only two types of people who would be wrapped up in chains: one, a masochist. Two, a person who was so dangerous that locking them in chains was the only way to stop them from causing havoc. Which type do you think these undead half-beastmen are?”
The corner of Li Chengfeng’s lips turned upward. ”Probably the latter…”
By now, the monster army had come close enough for me to read their stats—
Half-beastman warrior (Shadow)
Level: 147
Attack: 1680~1900
Defense: 2180
HP: 150000
Skills: Shatter, Crush, Sweep
Introduction: A half-beastman from hell. These berserk and mindless people possess enormous strength. Their tough, steely armor earned them the nickname ”Steel Fortress”, and their role couldn’t be understated, be it in major or minor wars. These half-beastmen have given up their honor completely, and they are deeply hated by the warriors of the Silver Moon Alliance.
……
As I had predicted earlier, our next opponents were Level 147. The Half-beastman Warrior was a high-level shadow-rank mob with a max Attack of 1900. Its level was way higher than the players’, so it wouldn’t be inaccurate to double its hidden attack stat and assume that its effective Attack was around 4000 or so. There was literally no one present in the war who could claim that they could survive this mass assault with absolute certainty.
Thud thud thud…
Beiming Xue’s archers attacked first and pierced the brawny half-beastmen’s chest, arms and other body parts with their iron arrows. However, the Half-beastman Warriors’ bodies were already half-rotted, so the rain of arrows did nothing to slow their charge at all. They couldn’t seem to feel the attack either because they continued charging us as if the arrows didn’t even exist!
The first Half-beastman Warrior to approach the frontline came face to face with Gui Guzi. It swung its battle hammer and hit Gui Guzi and all the magic knights beside him!
Clang clang clang…
Sparks flew everywhere as the magic knights shuddered violently. Damage numbers appeared above their heads—
1278!
2983!
3108!
……
Gui Guzi’s Defense was impeccable, so he was still fine. However, everyone else who got hit could hardly claim the same thing. Their Defense was greatly reduced because the mob was at least 30 levels above them, and it possessed the passive skill ”Shatter”. It was a skill that gave the mob a percentage-based chance to ignore Defense, and that was very troublesome.
Swhoosh!
Gui Guzi moved his shield to the side and stabbed the half-beastman’s stomach ruthlessly with Death Combo. When the spearhead came out, it actually pulled out the half-beastman’s innards as well. The unexpected, terrible stench caused nearly everyone to frown at the same time.
”Fuck me, Little Gui is so hardcore…” High Fighting Spirits barked out a laugh before bringing his axe forward and spinning into a Xiezhi Howl. A wave of cyclic energy instantly swept over a bunch of mobs and reduced their HP drastically. The barbarian warrior himself wasn’t doing very well, however. It was because four to five Half-beastman Warriors had repaid the favor by swinging their stone hammers toward his shoulder!
Bang bang bang!
A column of damage numbers rose above High Fighting Spirits’ head, and his health dropped drastically to 25% or so. As expected, a 5-Strength barbarian warrior had excess in attack power but the same couldn’t be said for his survivability. After all, he couldn’t equip a shield, and his armor wasn’t as good as mine.
