184 The Terrifying Heart Manipulation (1/2)

Kashmir's [Dark Tornado] moved much faster than anyone had expected.No one else had the same kind of reaction speed as Wang Yu so it was virtually impossible to avoid an AOE spell like this one.

When they received Fearless' orders, Crotch Lord immediately lifted his shield and blocked his body.

The other Knights followed suit and the squishier jobs huddled closely behind their bodies.

Spring Halo had added some of his attribute points into vitality and even had his six demons with him. Together with Crotch Lord, and even Fearless, their group was the one with the highest survivability. It wouldn't have been a problem for them to face this skill head-on in the first place.

With the odd formation that they had split into, the spell ended up only grazing Fearless' group as it passed them by without actually hitting them!

After the tornado passed by Fearless group, it charged straight for the rest before they even had the time to react. However, because of the weird formation that they had adopted, the tornado barely even did any damage to any of them before it ended up dissipating.

In a dungeon, knowing how to choose the appropriate formation was a prerequisite. The most basic formation had the players form up into two rows so that the tanks could protect the DPS and the healers. There were also formations that were meant to deal with bosses that had high single target damage. All these formations were the fruit of years of experimentation and were the bread and butter of parties and guilds everywhere.

Although these formations were decent, none of them could deal with a boss that had massive AOE skills.

In traditional games, bosses had very low intelligence and would always have a long wind-up before they unleashed an AOE skill so players never had an issue dodging. However, in >, the existence of Independent Mode bosses completely smashed all the expectations and strategies that players had developed over the years.

Who would have imagined that such a haphazard and shoddy formation would have been so effective at avoiding Kashmir's [Dark Tornado]?

”Leader Fearless how did you learn this formation?” Darknorth Fisher sent to the guild chat.

”After being hunted down for a few hundred times you'll naturally learn a thing or two!”Fearless snickered.

”Urk...” Fearless' proud tone caused Darknorth Fisher to be at a loss for words.

The way he had said they had been hunted down a few hundred times made it sound like something like that was nothing more than a walk in the park… Just how many enemies did the Quan Zhen Sect even have? Darknoth Fisher had originally thought that being chased for the past few days had been incredibly miserable, but in the eyes of these monsters, such an experience was nothing more than a drop in the ocean…

”Won't those whores from the Sanguine Alliance steal this formation? They're right there you know. And you even guided them to the correct spot!” Darknoth Fisher worriedly asked.

”Heh, they can try! Without being hunted down like us they'll only be sending themselves to an early grave!” Fearless chortled. Without being in the Quan Zhen Sect, no one else would have had their experiences after all.

After surviving Kashmir's [Dark Tornado], the party didn't bother celebrating and immediately started their counter-attack.

When Kashmir had cast his spell, Wang Yu had immediately run up to him and began to attack. Oddly enough, even though Kashmir wasn't particularly fast, not a single one of Wang Yu's attacks had landed on him…

It wasn't that Kashmir had dodged them either. For some reason, every time Wang Yu's fist was about to touch Kashmir's body he would suddenly lose control of himself and end up punching the air. This situation vexed Wang Yu to no end and started building up an uneasy feeling in his chest.

At this time, the skills of the rest of the party had arrived in front of Kashmir as well.

The fastest of all of their attacks was naturally Ming Du's [Lightning Blast]. However, as the lightning bolt was right about to hit Kashmir's head it suddenly lightly swerved to the right and struck the wall.

Wang Yu didn't find anything fishy about this since it wasn't as though Ming Du had perfect accuracy anyway.

The next two attacks to approach were Yang Nuo and Ivory Emperor's arrows. Once again, right as their attacks were about to hit Kashmir, they suddenly veered away from his body. However this time, the arrows flew straight towards Wang Yu!

”The f**k???”

As Wang Yu stretched out his hands and grabbed the two arrows the rest of the attacks flew towards Kashmir.
