Chapter 606: The Heroic Brother Blue Sky (1/2)
The sound of hooves striking the ground suddenly reverberated through the air as a group of mounted magic knights who were all holding golden shields suddenly flew out of Rose of the Holy Domain’s formation. There were about one thousand of them and my Dark Pupils instantly gave me information on them. Shockingly enough, all of these players were magic knights who added five points to Stamina every Level, and even the frailest player in this unit had around forty thousand HP! Furthermore, all of them were quite well-equipped, so their defensive stats were extremely good as well!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The magic knights instantly formed a single row as they angled their shields in front of them. They were forming an Iron Wall that would allow Rose of the Holy Domain to reach our city walls. Their archers and mages took advantage of the magic knights’ protection to begin firing on our walls with their spells and arrows. I winced when I saw a storm of Volleys streaking toward our walls.
Pccht, pccht, pccht...
Blood flew everywhere as their furious assault killed dozens of our archers. No one had expected the Rose of the Holy Domain’s players to get this close this quickly!
”Galaxy Storm!” Moonlight Stone activated her Magic Shield immediately after she cast that spell. She yelled, ”Let’s welcome those magic knights with our Galaxy Storms! Make sure that they hit the long-range players behind them too! I want all of our mages to activate their Magic Shields! Don’t be stingy with your magic consumables! If you’re stingy now, you’ll be dropping equipment later!”
In the next instant, countless Galaxy Storms shot out from our walls and exploded into the crowds of players below them. The arrows and spells were flying thick and fast between both opposing sides.
In the distance, more than a dozen catapults had been set up within 150 yards of our walls on Rose Thorn’s orders. In the next instant, we heard the creaking of gears and pulleys as more than ten huge boulders flew toward us. Each of these boulders smashed into our walls with such immense force that it caused the entire Dark Moon City to shake. I winced once again when I saw how much damage had been done to the walls.
Bang!
I looked back up to the city walls and yelled, ”Beiming Xue, can you use your Range stratagem to snipe those catapults in a single salvo of attacks?”
Beiming Xue was sitting on the edge of an arrow tower as she loosed one arrow after the other. Her tender and snow-white legs were dangling in the wind as she shot me a faint smile. ”Don’t worry, big bro! I’ll take care of them within five minutes!”
After she finished speaking, Beiming Xue turned on her Range stratagem. The base skill boosted one’s range by 25%, but Beiming Xue’s high Tactics stat meant that this skill boosted the range of all the archers in her party by more than 100%! With the high ground given to them by our arrow towers, Range easily allowed them to snipe at these targets that were 150 yards away. Furthermore, they didn’t need to specifically aim for a small target, they just needed to unleash a salvo of arrows in that direction since these catapults were fairly large.
In the next instant, I heard more twanging sounds than I could count as Beiming Xue’s archers unleashed their arrows. Beiming Xue put an incredible display of skill by actually using her Evil Spirit Volley. Amazingly enough, all of her arrows zoomed toward the rightmost catapult with laser-guided precision. A string of incredible damage numbers popped up in the air, reducing the catapult to zero health!
”Hot damn! Someone actually managed to hit us all the way over here!” one of the players guarding the catapults yelled.
A group of engineers and smiths immediately ran over to repair the catapults. Their hammers rose and fell rhythmically as they rushed to fix the damage that Beiming Xue and her archers had just done.
A small smile appeared on Beiming Xue’s face when she saw this. After that, her eyes focused as she drew back her bow once more. She let go of her bowstring, causing a Spiraling Arrow Blade to scream through the air and land right in the middle of those engineers! The attack exploded in their midst, instantly killing all of those frail engineers!
I couldn’t help but give a relieved chuckle. Alright! With Beiming Xue around, those catapults would no longer pose any threat to us!
……
Whooosh!
As I raised my Cyan Netherworld Sword in the air, I pointed my other hand toward Rose of the Holy Domain’s formation of magic knights and yelled, ”Comrades, let’s go break down that Iron Wall! Once we do so, our long-range attackers on the city wall will be able to target anyone with impunity!”
”Alright!”
Xu Yang, Gui Guzi, and Li Chengfeng had long grown tired of waiting for their turn. Looks of fervent excitement appeared on their faces as they charged toward the enemy like streaks of lightning. I also activated my Thunderous Charge to fly across the ground and slam straight into the magic knight who was standing at the tip of their formation. This punk actually managed to shift his shield slightly to absorb the impact of my Charge, while he thrust his spear toward me with a practiced ease.
Clang!
798!
That pitiful Blaze didn’t even deal four digits of damage to me. I couldn’t help but chuckle when I saw this, but the magic knight actually grinned at me as well! He even proudly announced, ”If you have the balls, come at me! I have a Defense of 9000 and more than 56000 HP! One-shot me if you can, asshole! Come on! Let me see how strong an expert from the CGL Hall of Fame really is!”
Looks of admiration appeared on the faces of the female mages and archers standing behind this brash magic knight. They cooed, ”Wow, Brother Blue Sky is so powerful! To think that he’d actually be brave enough to call out the Little Heavenly King Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!”
A smile also appeared on my face. ”Heh, you’re actually shameless enough to act this arrogantly when you only have 9000 Defense? You’re seriously thinking way too highly of yourself! Alright then, just watch how your daddy is gonna one-shot you!”
As I said that, I suddenly sprang forward, a universe formation appearing beneath my feet. A spiral of indigo energy erupted around the tip of my sword as I thrust it into the magic knight’s chest with no hesitation. Universe Break!
”Huh!? A more powerful version of Barrier Break?” the magic knight gasped as his eyes very nearly popped out of his head. Barrier Break was already an overwhelmingly powerful skill in its own right, and it would only deal more damage if you tried to defend against it. Its effect truly suited its name to a tee.
However, I had already predicted that this magic knight wouldn’t defend against this attack. But his fate had been sealed once he didn’t try to ward off the blow in any way! Just watch as I burn away nearly sixty thousand HP in one go!
Pchht!
