Chapter 616: Soul Breaker Shield (2/2)

Not bad at all. I decided to throw it into the warehouse and put it up as a reward for those with enough contribution points. In fact, I was going to leave a note stating that it was a loot from the guild leader of Throne Seeker himself. Our players fought like hell to defend the city, so they had every right to receive a reward from me. I might not be rich enough to pay them a salary like Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch, but I had no problem rewarding them with an enemy’s equipment at all.

I abruptly decided not to hunt down the remnants of Greedy Wolf Cavalry. Gui Guzi and Heaven’s Rain could deal with them themselves. Instead, I set my eyes on my next target, the guild leader of Hall of Immortality, Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch. This was the man who orchestrated this whole war. This was the man who wanted to conquer Dark Moon City and caused the deaths of over 80% of our players because of it!

Not far away, Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch was hacking away at a couple of Snowy Cathaya players while urging his players, “Brothers and sisters of Hall of Immortality, do not give up until the very last moment! They don’t have many players left, and we are but one step away from conquering this city! There is absolutely no reason for us to give up now!”

High Fighting Spirits spat on the ground and said, “Pooh, I can’t believe that shameless bastard has the face to say that after everything. Chengfeng, Chaos Moon, wanna work together and take him out?”

But Li Chengfeng pointed down a certain direction. “Nah, there’s someone who wants to kill him even more than you do. Just cover for him, and he’ll get the job done!”

High Fighting Spirits looked at the direction Li Chengfeng was pointing and found me already running toward Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch. Judging from the killing intent in my eyes, I wasn’t going to stop until this fucker was dead.

“I’ll go first!”

High Fighting Spirits laughed loudly and charged Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch. To the surprise of no one, a couple of Hall of Immortality players immediately got into position and blocked his way. Undeterred, High Fighting Spirits summoned a cyclone of energy and let out a resounding Xiezhi Howl! The animalistic halo of light surrounding him was eye-catching to say the least!

Boom!

All the enemy players around him dropped to low health at once. Before they could react, Chaos Moon rushed forward and killed them all with Rock Crush. Because her Famous General Skill, Plunder was active, the players she killed dropped two or even three pieces of equipment. I was certain that her victims were absolutely crying and regretting their decision to participate in this siege battle right now. The WMD that was Chaos Moon was just too much for them to handle.

Xu Yang used his Charge after Chaos Moon and unleashed his Mountain Stagger Slash at the enemies. However, Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch was able to parry the attack and knock him back with a retaliatory strike.

“Hahaha…” Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch swung his sword and laughed. “Hot Sun, do you seriously think a second-rate warrior like you can kill me? Dream on! I can kill you with my eyes closed! My Top 10 ranking in the champion arena of Vanished God City isn’t for show, you know!”

Xu Yang was furious, but he was bogged down by a couple of Hall of Immortality players before he could do anything else. He had missed his chance to attack Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch.

Well, Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch was pretty skillful, but the main reason he was able to parry Xu Yang’s Mountain Stagger Slash with ease was because of his equipment. There were two factors that came into play during a parry. One, the player’s proficiency with the action itself. Two, the equipment power gap between the attacker and the defender. The bigger the gap, the easier it was to parry an attack.

……

I let out a growl after I finally reached them. “Let me through, people! I’ll kill him for you!”

Li Chengfeng and Chaos Moon immediately opened up a path for me. Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch’s face turned cold and angry as he yelled, “Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand?! Are you finally going to fight yourself?”

I laughed while running, “What the fuck are you talking about? I’ve been fighting since the beginning of this battle!”

I leaped into the air to get the height advantage. Then, I aimed a basic attack at Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch’s head.

“Hehe…”

Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch cocked his head to one side and knocked my sword away with his shield. Then, he counterattacked with a painful slash to my waist—10929!

As I thought, his equipment was really amazing. I couldn’t recall the last player who dealt this much damage to me with a basic attack.

I launched another attack before my feet could hit the ground. Thanks to Dark Pupils, I had identified a weak point in his equipment. It was the area just above his abdomen.

“You dare pull the same trick twice?!”

Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch tried to use the same shield parry + basic attack combo to counter me, but he saw the smile on my face too late. “Shit!”

I abruptly pulled my sword away and moved much quicker. Blood-red energy centering around my left fist, I punched the guild leader above the abdomen and followed up with a Burning Blade Slash. I doubted that Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch knew this, but every hit had landed on his weak point.

7902!

12048!

18089!

23678!

Surprisingly, the man was still alive after the quadruple strike. With only a sliver of health left in his health pool, Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch was nothing more but a defeated dog before me. Panicking, he cried, “Priests, heal me, quick—”

I shouted, “What are you waiting for, Chaos Moon!”

Chaos Moon dashed past me and engulfed the guild leader and his mount with Rock Crush. Nice, let’s go!
