Chapter 482: Iceflame Strike (2/2)
Xu Yang and Li Chengfeng started organizing the players. Our formation tightened as 5000 players huddled together in an area that was only about eighty yards wide. We intended to narrow our formation as much as possible and allow the NPC troops to bear the brunt of the damage. After that, we would rain down hell on our enemies and try to get as much as we could.
After a few seconds, the sky gleamed with a bright light! The monsters of the ninth wave had finally arrived!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A few huge creatures rushed out of the sky. Shockingly enough, they were gigantic beasts whose bodies were completely clad in thick, frost-covered armor. Their limbs were thick and bristling with muscles and they stood about five meters tall, so players could only reach their thighs. Their heads looked extremely bizarre. They were fiery red and they resembled jack-o-lanterns which had candles lit inside of them. However, the flames that raged within their skull were like a voracious hellfire instead!
Boom, boom, boom...
More and more of these odd beasts started to appear, and they soon covered the land in front of us. The earth started to quake as the players stationed at the front exchanged glances. These giant beasts were extremely fast!
I quickly took a screenshot of this giant beast’s stats and shared them in the guild channel.
Giant Iceflame Beast (Shadow)
Level: 151
Attack: 1850~2240
Defense: 2200
HP: 17000
Skills: Shatter, Crush, Iceflame Strike
Introduction: Gigantic beasts which come from hell. These frenzied and rabid titans possess extreme strength. They are covered in frost armor that is as hard as steel, and they can attack enemies with violent flames. These Giant Iceflame Beasts have always played a decisive role in past conflicts with humanity. The very sight of them fills the hearts of the warriors of the Silver Moon Alliance with undying hatred…
…...
”They can even use magic-based attacks?” I felt a chill run through my body as I yelled, ”All comrades who are standing at the front, please be careful! These monsters can use magic attacks, so don’t use your potions at the wrong time and get one-shot because of that! Priests at the back, be ready to cast your instant heals at any moment, don’t let your comrades standing at the front die in vain…”
The very first Giant Iceflame Beast was already charging toward us by the time I had finished speaking. It had locked onto our guild leader He Yi, who was standing at the very front of the line. It suddenly raised a gigantic arm high into the air before it sent it hurtling down toward her!
He Yi’s reaction was quick and smooth. She raised up her shield to block the strike. There was a sharp ”clanging” sound as the arm struck her shield, causing He Yi and her Snow Domain Windchaser trembled a little under that strike. She had lost more than 3000 HP in a single blow. But the Giant Iceflame Beast’s attack had merely just begun. It raised its arm high in the air once more and this time, it’s frost-covered arm was suddenly wrapped in swirling red flames. This was its Iceflame Strike attack!
Bang!
5783!
How powerful! Even a player as strong as He Yi had lost so much health! If the Giant Iceflame Beast had struck a regular warrior, they would have lost at least 10k HP!
I turned around to discover a Giant Iceflame Beast charging straight for me. I hurriedly raised the Heaven-stealing Sword in the air to greet it!
Boom!
It opened up its assault with Iceflame Strike too! How terrifying!
Bang!
A gigantic frost-covered fist smashed heavily into my chest. Fiery energy shot out of it and exploded all over my body, causing intense pain to race through it. A huge chunk of my health disappeared. The attack had done 6907 damage!
Bloody hell, its attack power is frigging terrifying!
I didn’t wait for the priests in the back to heal me. The Heaven-stealing Sword danced in the air as I opened up with a Burning Blade Slash. Three fiery blades of sword energy smashed into the Giant Iceflame Beast’s leg, shaking it so badly that the loincloth it wore flapped wildly in the air.
7894!
+1105!
9840!
+1377!
12098!
+1693!
……
Tsk tsk, now that I had obtained a multi-hit physical attack skill, my attacks had grown even more lethal. Strong physical attacks also triggered the Heaven-stealing sword’s ”Heaven Stealing” effect, so I instantly recovered more than 4000 HP. My lifesteal was so strong that it was comparable to a high-level priest.
Mhm, just based on the Heaven-stealing Sword’s attack power alone, I would be able to heal myself completely without the aid of a priest.
What’s more, as an undead Asura, my regeneration was extremely strong. The Regeneration of the Undead skill restored a good amount of my health every second, so I would have no problem dealing with two or three Giant Iceflame Beasts.
However, this did not mean that other people wouldn’t have a problem facing them. Du Thirteen and Xu Yang were being knocked around by a few Giant Iceflame Beasts not too far away from me. They were being bashed so hard that they could barely tell left from right anymore.
In the distance, The Monarch Descends’ formation was violently trembling. Thankfully, their damage remained as incredible as usual.
That lass Ling Xueshang was holding on for her dear life, but I didn’t know if she could last past this wave.
