Chapter 483: God Dancer (1/2)
Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ battle line had shrunk dramatically, and this was done deliberately to reduce unnecessary casualties. We already lost half of our troops during the last wave, so we had to play this more carefully. If we lost half of our troops again, there was no way we’d be able to beat the tenth wave of monsters.
Moreover, none of the remaining players wanted to die at this stage in the game. The less players that died, the better. These surviving players would increase the overall strength of the guild. The ones who managed to survive such a large-scale and difficult event like the Coldblade War would no doubt become seasoned elite players, a rare commodity in the game.
……
Clang, clang, clang...
Three blades of fiery energy shot out of the Heaven-stealing Sword. They buried themselves into the skull of the monster that was farthest in front. After that, I used Sword Boomerang and flung my sword out. It spun in the air as it shot across a line three yards wide, sweeping through an entire row of Giant Iceflame Beasts. But I wasn’t finished yet. The moment I caught the handle of my sword, I immediately unleashed Thousand Ice Slash. I performed every single attack with a smooth but rapid fluidity.
Xu Yang’s lip pursed up as he saw me string together attack after attack. “Damn, Lu Chen. Your DPS is insane. Are you even human anymore?”
Gui Guzi let out a roar of laughter. “Brother Xu Yang, don’t be discouraged. If Boss Broken Halberd’s Attack wasn’t high, he wouldn’t deserve to be placed seventh in the CGL Hall of Fame!”
Du Thirteen laughed as well. “That’s right! If our brother didn’t have incredible skill, there’s no way he would have raised such a large organization like the Bloody Mercenaries!”
Chaos Moon suddenly said, “Hey guys, look! There are a bunch of people coming over here. What’s their deal?”
Everyone looked in the direction that Chaos Moon had pointed at. To our shock, we discovered that a large amount of players had appeared on our eastern flank. There were about a thousand of them. What was even more surprising is that these players belonged to Flower Room. Li Le was leading these troops, and Spring Mud, Night Sorrow, and Moon Shadow were right behind him.
Roaming Dragon was riding a black warhorse, sword in hand. As he galloped forward, he sheathed the sword before reaching out a hand to scoop an archer, Coldmoon Rose, into his bosom. After that, he raised his spear in the air and shouted, “Brothers, most of the NPC troops are concentrated on the eastern front. We will stick close to them and use them as shields so we can survive all ten waves!
It was clear that Mad Dragon and Flower Room could no longer survive on the northern front of the battlefield by themselves. If not, they would never come to the eastern front, where Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Snowy Cathaya were.
……
“What should we do?” Li Chengfeng asked as he looked at me. “Should I lead some players out of our formation to destroy them?”
I shook my head. “Forget it, the Giant Iceflame Beasts will destroy them for us.”
I had just finished speaking when several hundred Giant Iceflame Beasts smashed straight into the frontlines of both Flower Room and Mad Dragon. Li Le and Roaming Dragon’s faces instantly went a sickly green when they saw that. After that, Li Le raised his sharp sword high in the air and yelled, “Halt! Get into battle formation! Don’t panic! Melee fighters, go and greet the enemy. Err… We will link up with Mad Dragon and push these monsters back together!”
Even though Roaming Dragon looked extremely reluctant to cooperate with Flower Room, the situation compelled him. He could only helplessly wave his spear and yell, “Form up next to Flower Room and get into battle formation! We need to stop these charging Giant Iceflame Beasts! Hurry!”
Clang, clang, clang...
A group of mountless magic knights rushed to the very front of their respective formations as they fiercely slammed their heavy shields into the ground in front of them. After that, they leaned their entire body into their shields as they braced themselves for impact!
“Roooooaaaarrr…”
As an earth-shaking roar filled the air, the first group of Giant Iceflame Beasts slammed into Mad Dragon and Flower Room’s combined front. Flames erupted on their arms as they viciously smashed the shields of the fighters in the frontline with their Iceflame Strike.
Boom!
Sparks flew everywhere and a Level 114 magic knight got hit so hard that his entire body was shaking wildly after the impact. He’d lost 13478 points of health, and before he could even react, the arm of the Giant Iceflame Beast was already descending toward him once more. This time it was a sweeping attack, so it not only sent the magic knight flying to heaven, it also blasted two other fighters into the distance.
The battle was terribly fierce. Arrows and magic were wildly raining down on the Giant Iceflame Beasts’ heads, as the frontline fighters of Mad Dragon and Flower Room were dying in droves. It seemed as if all of the HP bars of all of their fighters had evaporated the moment the Giant Iceflame Beasts charged into their lines. The priests in the back were casting healing spells as fast as they could to rescue their comrades from the brink of destruction.
The two guilds were about five hundred yards away from us. They were struggling bitterly, but if their situation didn’t change soon, they would be wiped out in under twenty minutes!
……
“Eh, Flower Room and Mad Dragon are doing pretty well. They’ve even managed to last until now…” Du Thirteen said with a chuckle.
Gui Guzi replied, “Hmph. They’re just a bunch of losers. Just wait, these Giant Iceflame Beasts will definitely get rid of all of our obstacles for us…”
Xu Yang swept his longsword forward to strike the monster in front of him as he grinned. “That’s right. Roaming Dragon is an overbearing bully, while Li Le is fickle and heartless. Any guild led by such people is destined to never amount to anything. In fact, I’d be utterly shocked if either guild lived to see the tenth wave!”
In the next instant, as if to prove Xu Yang’s words, the situation dramatically changed for Flower Room and Mad Dragon.
