"What's going on?" Lin Yixin asked in the party channel.
I quietly hid at the edge of the dark wall and gripped Coldness of the Nine States tightly. I whispered, "The fifth floor … is about to appear. Warsky Alliance's 37-man party is planning to kill it. Everyone else, just watch."
He Yi asked, "Who's there?"
I glanced at the party and said, "Warsky, Lin Bing, Farewell Song, Laughing At The Heavens, and October Rain are all here. There are 9 priests and 7 archers in total. With so many eighth-promotion archers, they should be able to … suppress the boss. Farewell Song can use Traps to … affect the boss's movements, and Warsky has the Longevity Blade. I'm worried that … Warsky Alliance will kill them. What should we do now?"
Murong Mingyue asked, "What do you want to do?"
I clenched my fists. "From a moral standpoint, we shouldn't interfere if Warsky Alliance is killing … unless they can't kill us … but from a logical standpoint … we should fight for the boss. Warsky Alliance has always treated Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls as an imaginary enemy and competitor, and if we show mercy now, we'll lose a great opportunity to gain an advantage. A Divine or Saint-grade equipment could very well be a super-tier expert. Warsky Alliance is already full of talents, and if we add a few animals like Farewell Song to the mix, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' position in Sky City will be very difficult to maintain."
Lin Yixin giggled. "You can't have your cake and eat it too. What are you planning?"
I smiled. "I'm planning to watch from the sidelines. If they can kill the boss … we'll let Warsky Alliance do it. If they can't, we'll take on a half-health boss. It'll be easier to kill it. Also, with Warsky Alliance around, Blood Alliance might not dare to attack us recklessly. It's actually a bit of an advantage for us …"
"Mn, okay …" Lin Yixin bent down, and her purple eyes looked extremely seductive and enchanting in the night. She led He Yi and the others to the edge of the wall. When she saw Warsky Alliance's movements in the distance, she shushed them and signaled for everyone to be quiet.
I kept a distance of at least 50 yards so that the enemy archers wouldn't be able to see me. This map of Dragon God Cave had terrible visibility, and it was impossible to see any red dots beyond 50 yards. Warsky Alliance was out in the open, and Warsky Alliance was out in the open. Warsky had thrown caution to the wind, and even if someone tried to steal it from him … Warsky would fight with everything he had. Warsky's confidence was off the charts after he obtained the Twelve Divine Armaments, the Longevity Blade, and it was a qualitative increase in his strength. A true expert fought with confidence and vigor, and the victor was always the one who dared to fight.
In the darkness, Warsky gripped the Longevity Blade and carefully walked toward the edge of the cliff of the fifth floor. We were so close to reaching this place, but Warsky Alliance had beaten us to it. The Dragon God Cave's players … all appeared on the cliff and guarded the entrance to the next floor. The fifth floor was no exception.
Warsky's cape fluttered behind him as he said, "It's time to fight the boss. Spread out, and don't get one-shot by the dragon breath. However, don't get too close to the edge of the map. We've paid enough for the Blood Halberd Dragons to kill a hundred of our comrades, so there's no need to pay here!"
Suddenly, a frightening dragon roar came from the darkness. Then, a gigantic dragon head popped out of the darkness. It was a meter in diameter, and its head was even bigger than Warsky and his horse. Its blood-red scales glowed with a cold light, and its eyes glowed with a cruel, bestial light. The dragon suddenly opened its mouth and cackled. "Good, I smell fresh meat again. It's been three thousand years since I've tasted meat, and I can finally eat something fresh!
Come, adventurers. I know you're here for Mingyu, but Mingyu used to be my old friend. If you want to kill him, you'll have to step over my dead body into the depths of the Dragon Abyss! "
Warsky shuddered. "Fuck …"
"What's going on?" Farewell Song asked.
Warsky's eyes glowed with cyan light as he replied, "My Eagle Gaze has detected a Level 297 Immortal Rank boss with over 70,000 Attack. This is going to be a tough fight. Everyone, be careful. I'll hold it back … Archers, take turns to stun it with Shock Arrows. It'd be best if you can stun it until it dies. Farewell Song, tell the brothers on the fourth and third floors to come over quickly. We won't be able to hold on for long!"
Farewell Song: "I've already given the order. Should we fight now, or should we wait for them?"
"A long night is fraught with dreams. Let's fight now!"
"Got it!"
… …
The Longevity Saber glowed brightly, and Warsky abruptly leaped off the ground. A cyan glow enveloped his blade, and a bestial roar reverberated through the air as he executed Cyan Tiger Shatter on the Level 297 Immortal Rank boss. The Longevity Saber's Attack wasn't low, and even the Level 297 Immortal Rank boss let out a pained groan as it lost over 390,000 HP. Cyan Tiger Shatter ignored Defense and was even more powerful than Barrier Break.
Warsky returned to the ground after the attack landed. He pulled the boss's aggro and started retreating. Then, he waved a hand and buffed himself with a Snot Dragon Card. At the same time, he shouted, "Archers, hold it back!"
A group of archers fired their arrows at the dragon's head. The boss, known as the "Red Crystal Dragon", shook its huge head, and only a few … and minuscule damage numbers appeared on its scales. The archers' attack power was clearly not strong enough.
Warsky gritted his teeth and shouted, "Little Rain, break its Defense!"
October Rain's Armor Shatter Arrow hit the boss before he could finish his sentence. Thud! The Armor Shatter Arrow reduced the boss's Defense by a whopping 14.9%, and the archers' damage finally reached four digits.
"Roar roar roar …"
The Crimson Crystal Dragon roared angrily and swiped its steely claws at Warsky's shield, forcing him to stumble backward. Warsky's face turned ashen as he lost half of his HP … Then, the Crimson Crystal Dragon opened its jaws and unleashed a scorching dragon breath at us. Warsky was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, and he hurriedly raised his shield to protect himself. Unfortunately, Defense was useless against a magic attack like dragon breath, and another 1,000,000 + damage number rose above his head.
"Fuck, what kind of attack power is this?!"
Warsky was scared out of his wits. He only managed to maintain less than 10% of his HP after being healed by 9 priests at the same time. The fight had only just begun, but it was already in mortal danger. Behind Warsky, two magic knights collapsed to the ground. Without a bard's buff, there was no way they could survive … dragon breath. Plus, Warsky was equipped with three ancient Immortal-grade equipment. Not everyone had such resistance.
Just when Warsky thought he was going to die, the Crimson Crystal Dragon suddenly froze in place. A giant stunned icon appeared above its head, and behind it, Farewell Song had already transformed into Milky Way. His dagger slid across the Crimson Crystal Dragon's retreating position and successfully stunned it for 2.9 seconds. The skill barely saved Warsky's life.
After executing Blade Vortex + Shadow Dance combo, Farewell Song dashed away from the boss like an arrow. This was the power of a top-tier assassin. It didn't matter if his attack was successful or not, he knew that he wasn't as strong as his opponent, and he knew that he couldn't win, so he chose to leave immediately.
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh...
Countless white lights fell from the sky, and Warsky regained almost 2,000,000 HP in just three seconds. He immediately raised his shield and continued fighting. Nine eighth-promotion priests were healing him at the same time, so his DPS was at least two to three times that of Murong Mingyue's. It was very impressive.
… …
The Crimson Crystal Dragon swung its claws and slaughtered everything in its path. It didn't care about Warsky at all. Right now, Warsky had my HP, but he didn't have my Attack. More than 20% of the time … the aggro wasn't on him, and it was why Warsky Alliance's players were dying one after another. In less than five minutes, only 21 of our 37-man party were left.
"Are they not here yet?" Warsky asked loudly as he used his shield to block the Crimson Crystal Dragon's claws with 33% HP.
Farewell Song replied indifferently, "They'll be here in 30 seconds. The first 50-man party will be here soon!"
"Mn!"
Soon, a group of Warsky Alliance players charged toward us from behind. Beiming Xue's face immediately turned pale. "Shit, we can't hide anymore. We'll be discovered for sure …"
I pressed her shoulder gently. "Don't worry, calm down. We're just spectators, not thieves …"
As I said that, I walked out of the darkness with Cold of the Nine States. I walked to the bright stone wall, leaned against it, and watched Warsky Alliance kill the boss with a smile on my face. Behind me, Lin Yixin, He Yi, Beiming Xue and the rest of the girls also joined me on the battlefield. In fact, Lian Xin was even lazily kneeling on the ground with her long, white legs spread out in front of her. The archers of Warsky Alliance were so mesmerized that they almost lost their minds when they saw her.
… …
"Fuck, why are they here …"
Warsky grumbled incessantly as he slaughtered his enemies. "Damn it! Lu Chen, what are you guys doing here?
Are you just going to watch us kill the boss? "
I smiled indifferently. "Of course. Are we supposed to help you kill the boss?
A Level 297 ancient Immortal Rank boss is no joke. If we die, we'll suffer huge losses. You want us to help you? No way … "
October Rain: "..."
Warsky gritted his teeth and didn't say anything. However, he seemed to say something in the party channel.
… …
Rustle rustle...
The withered leaves on the ground trembled slightly. It was small, but it didn't escape my eyes. Two Warsky Alliance assassins were approaching us with unknown intentions. Farewell Song might be among them.
