Chapter 489: Repel (2/2)
We all held our breaths and looked at the light screen covering the entire Sky City. No one knows what monstrosity would cross through the spatial bridge and act as our final opponent in this do-or-die war.
It was at this moment two system announcements resounded throughout all China servers—
Ding~!
System Announcement: Player ”Stranger of Three Lifetimes (Vanished God City)” has successfully defeated the Spirit Rank Boss, Hazy Wanderer, and reached Level 120. They have also met the criteria to become a Famous General and become the sixteenth Famous General of China! They have gained Luck +1, Tactics +1, and the exclusive Famous General Skill, ”Repel”!
Repel: Beseech the power of the battle soul and increase all party members’ Attack by 25% and reduce all surrounding enemies’ Attack by 10%. Skill effectiveness is affected by Tactics. Skill exclusive to player “Stranger of Three Lifetimes”.
Ding~!
System Announcement: Player ”Luo River God of the Capital (Wind City)” has successfully defeated the Spirit Rank Boss, Magic Breaker, and reached Level 122. They have also met the criteria to become a Famous General and become the seventh Famous General of China! They have gained Luck +1, Tactics +1, and the exclusive Famous General Skill, ”Mage Soul”!
Mage Soul: Beseech the power of the mage god and increase all party members’ Magic Attack by 50% and movement speed by 20%. Skill effectiveness is affected by Tactics. Skill exclusive to player “Luo River God of the Capital”.
……
We finally heard something about the massive quest that was going on at Wind City and Vanished God City. Clearly, Stranger of Three Lifetimes’ Blazing Hot Lips and Luo River God of the Capital’s Purple Lily were currently in an advantageous position. Not only that, they managed to kill the latter bosses of the quest and became a Famous General because of it!
Stranger of Three Lifetimes’ Famous General Skill was fine. It increased her own Attack and reduced the enemy’s Attack at the same time. The amount wasn’t much, but the low base could easily be mitigated by a high amount of Tactics. Moreover, the Famous General Skill was similar to He Yi’s Royal Road. The only difference was that it affected only one stat, and its effect was poorer.
As for Luo River God of the Capital’s Mage Soul, if the woman wasn’t the number one Mage in China before—which she was—then no one could hope to dethrone her now. Mage Soul increased Magic Attack by 50% and her movement speed by movement speed by 20%. It was obviously the perfect skill for kiting and dishing out massive amounts of magical damage. Purple Lily had always had the lower hand in the fight for supremacy over Wind City, so I supposed this counted as a minor victory for Purple Lily.
Unfortunately, I heard that Luo River God of the Capital was in a bad mood lately. It was because Candlelight Shadow kept cursing her with Ghost God Prophecy and running away every time they ran into each other, causing her to die and lose a couple of levels during this half a month’s time. That was why her leveling speed had slowed drastically recently. Otherwise, I didn’t think I would be able to replace her as the highest level player in China.
……
The light screen shone brightly at this moment, and the moment everyone had been waiting for had finally arrived—
System Announcement: All players, the tenth monster wave led by a Level 155 Immortal Rank boss “Coldblade the Infinite Storm” has crossed the spatial bridge created using the Purgatory Dragon Scepter!
……
“Fuck…” Li Chengfeng sucked in a deep breath. “Fuck! I thought Coldblade the Infinite Storm would be a Heaven-rank boss at best, but Immortal? That’s two ranks above God Dancer! How the hell are we going to fight him?”
I was just as speechless as he was. “Simple: we don’t. The NPCs will handle it for us. We just barely took down God Dancer, so it’s suicidal to even attempt this boss. That being said, maybe we can find a way to claim ownership of the boss through the NPCs somehow. Everything is worth it if we can get even one Immortal-grade equipment…”
Gui Guzi laughed loudly. “Yeah! Give me an Immortal-grade metal armor and shield, and I swear I can solo all 40k players in Candle Dragon myself!”
High Fighting Spirits: “Of course you can, that’s two Immortal-grade equipment versus a truck load of Purple Gold-grade or even Dark Gold-grade equipment. You’re so shameless sometimes…”
Gui Guzi smiled. “I’m just kidding. To be honest, I don’t think I can beat Candlelight Shadow even if I have an Immortal-grade shield. That bastard is just too skillful. Boss Broken Halberd is probably the only one in the entire guild who can fight him on equal footing.”
Li Chengfeng nodded strongly. “You’re right, Candlelight Shadow is absolutely a top class player. There are probably less than 5 players in all of China who can threaten him, with Lu Chen and Lin Yixin being the greatest of them all. Well, I suppose I counted as a threat to Candlelight Shadow too, albeit just barely…”
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun: “No you’re not…”
