Chapter 478: Stonebreaker (1/2)
……
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh…
Holy light rained on my body constantly. The priests of The Monarch Descends had been focusing most of their healing on me and my people because Ling Xueshang ordered them to. The girl knew very well that she couldn’t let any of us die; that would only grow the debt she already owed us.
The situation was fine, but I couldn’t help but look at my equipment durability with worry. I was a warrior, but I had been fighting like a magic knight and absorbing the mobs’ firepower all this time. Long story short, I had taken too much damage, and most of my equipment was close to breaking completely. The 5-star Outstanding equipment like the God Suppressing Helmet and God Suppressing Necklace were still okay at 40%, but I had items with durability as low as 10%. It was worrying to say the least. I wasn’t sure my equipment would last until the tenth wave, let alone the boss of the tenth wave.
……
That being said, it wasn’t all bad. The protracted battle netted me an innumerable amount of experience, and I had leveled up to 121 and 73%. I didn’t even realize this until just now because the battle was too fierce. So far, everyone who was still alive—especially the damage dealers—had gained between 2 to 5 levels. This was why people said that monster attacks were a boon to both the monsters and the players with the power and skill to make full use of it. It was an elite player’s best chance to widen the gap between themselves and the normal players!
The number of Half-beastman Warriors at the east side of Sky City was slowly but surely decreasing. Our DPS wasn’t for show after all. We couldn’t do anything to help the players guarding the other sides, however. The Half-beastman Warriors were powerful enough that even Gui Guzi and He Yi would be beaten to death without a priest to heal them. Moreover, priests were so fragile and slow that it was impossible to reinforce the other sides in a reasonable amount of time.
I checked the UI and noted that there weren’t many players who were still alive in Sky City. The player count had dropped all the way from ten million to 2.37 million, and almost all of them belonged to the big guilds. Almost all of the small to middle–rank guilds had been slaughtered. There were thousands of guilds in Sky City at least, and every one of them had their own heroes. It would be impossible to list all of them.

Lin Yixin and He Yi were fighters, but they both possessed pets with high Magic Attack, and being mounted turned their basic attacks into AoE attacks. That was why they were able to enter the top four. Otherwise, neither of them were even close to matching me, especially in terms of AoE skills. Of course, I would enjoy the same benefits once I hit Level 150 and got a mount of my own. Assuming that I had a mount right now, my points would probably exceed 400k already.
Anyway, the Top 100 players on the point ranking would be rewarded handsomely, and it wouldn’t be just experience reward. Unless I was mistaken, everyone would get a varying increase of Luck, also the most desired stat of any first-rate expert. Equipment would grow outdated eventually, but Luck was a permanent power whose strength only grew with time.
Suddenly, Chaos Moon pointed toward the front and cried out, ”Wah! Look at that, Lu Chen…”
I looked at the direction she was pointing at. In the middle of a group of mobs I found a half-beastman wearing bloody red battle armor and a huge battle hammer. Its appearance wasn’t that distinguished, but it couldn’t hide the name above its head—Oka the Stonebreaker...
I couldn’t stop myself from laughing. ”Good! A boss finally came our way!”
The defense line stretching about a hundred yards to the left and right were all players from Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and the boss was right at the center of it. There was no way anyone could take this from us.
I raised my arm and tossed out a Dragon Slaying Slash!
Bang!
11988!
The skill hit Oka the Stonebreaker in the head and made it shudder a little. Huh, I wasn’t expecting to deal a critical hit. Anyway, the Level 147 Spirit Rank boss roared angrily and started charging toward me!
