"So OP!"
Beiming Xue retreated with less than 25% HP. She was one of the few archers on the walls who had survived. Their numbers had plummeted, and the boss's earth and rock attacks had covered almost a 1000-yard radius. Almost all of the archers and bards from other guilds were dead, and half of the 50k Dragonlight Archers who had stayed behind to keep up the assault had died. The remaining 50% or so were all at low health.
This was the advantage of mounted archers. They had mounts, so their max HP was far higher than a normal archer's. That was why they were still alive.
… …
Crash crash crash...
I climbed out of the rubble and brushed the broken bricks off my shoulder. Then, I raised my sword and pointed it at the Earth Boss. The three energy whirlpools that represented my life spun rapidly as I activated Full Attack Mode. Suddenly, countless ripples of green light rained down on the ground. It was the Art of Xuanyuan, and all players within a 1000-yard radius were healed for 50% HP!
Vienna's Sorrow and the others turned around and said, "Coldness of the Nine States is good!"
I silently activated the Divine Dragon Armor and charged toward the boss's right flank. Burning Blade Slash + Universe Break combo, I summoned the Phantom Wolf King and changed my position every time I swung my sword. I didn't let the boss get a chance to hit me. Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi, Chaos Moon and He Yi were doing the same. In a situation like this, being able to deal damage and protect oneself at the same time was the only way to survive.
Cyan Beast's Golden Cavalry arrived at the boss's lower jaw and started hacking away at it. Nearby, the Dragonlight Cavalry, Slayer Cavalry, Cyan Qilin Cavalry and more were also dealing damage to the boss. Even though the boss was powerful, its gigantic body meant that it could be attacked by thousands of players at the same time. Its HP continued to drop at a rate visible to the naked eye. Human wave tactics were truly awesome!
Nearly ten minutes later, the Earth Rock Devourer abruptly raised its head and let out a loud dragon roar. Then, it swung its head and slammed heavily into the city. With a loud bang, it opened its bloody mouth and spat out streams of cold air. The huge suction force caused the Cyan Qilin Cavalry in front of it to almost lose their balance. Laughing At The Heavens raised his spear and stabbed it deep into the ground. He yelled, "Brothers, the boss wants to suck us into its stomach. Find cover and stabilize your bodies!"
I furrowed my brows. Even a hundred-yard radius of about 25 degrees was affected by the suction force of the boss's bloody mouth. What kind of skill was this?
He looked at the battle notification again. [Earth Rock Devourer?
Blood Skull activated [Rock Swallowing], skill lasts for 10 seconds!
…
I had to pray for Laughing At The Heavens and his Azure Qilin Cavalry for a full 10 seconds!
Rustle rustle...
A powerful suction force swept through the area, sending rocks and dirt flying into the dragon's mouth. The Azure Qilin Cavalrymen could no longer control their bodies and were sucked into the Blood Skull's mouth along with their mounts. The ground cracked open, and huge boulders flew into the air. Laughing At The Heavens' spear was snapped in half, but he couldn't stop himself either. Even the boulders several meters in radius beneath his horse's hooves were sent flying into the air.
Bang bang bang...
The rocks and players that entered Blood Skull's mouth were ground to pieces by the giant dragon's sickle-like teeth. Not a single one survived. Almost a thousand Azure Qilin Cavalrymen were wiped out in an instant.
"This … this is too cruel, isn't it?
Laughing At The Heavens was bitten to pieces … "Lin Bing Dou Zhe stood there in a daze.
Warsky gripped his Longevity Saber and spurred his mount forward. He gritted his teeth and said, "Keep attacking! Keep the formation intact!"
However, ten seconds later, the Blood Skull continued its rampage after turning the ground into a deep crater. It suddenly opened its mouth and spat out sharp rocks, along with the bones and flesh of the players. It immediately turned into a storm of rocks that ravaged Warsky's square formation!
Boom boom boom...
Warsky raised his Longevity Saber to block the attack, but both he and his mount were knocked back more than a dozen meters. He had less than 30% HP left, and almost all the players around him were dead except for Lin Bing Dou Zhe. The Golden Cavalry that Warsky was so proud of was nothing in the face of a Nine Sovereigns.
October Rain shouted from afar, "We've lost too many people! We need to disperse!"
Warsky gritted his teeth. "How can we disperse? There are people everywhere! We're so unlucky!"
… …
As if to refute Warsky's words, Blood Skull turned its gigantic head in a different direction. The Hero Alliance players launched their follow-up attack after Rock Eater. Countless rocks flew out of their mouths like cannonballs and tore a straight line across the ground. The screams of the Steel Slayer Cavalry echoed in the air, and a thousand players died in an instant. Even the priests and bards at the rear were caught in the crossfire.
Vienna's Sorrow gritted his teeth in anger. He urged his black dragon to swing its sword a few times at the Blood Skull's head, and it was very effective. The Blood Skull immediately raised its head and glared at Vienna's Sorrow. Its right claw flashed like lightning, and both Vienna's Sorrow and his dragon were sent flying several hundred meters away before crashing into the city wall. He was in a sorry state and only had half of his health left.
Breeze and Rain opened his palm and activated Soul Refining Cage, but he immediately pulled back halfway through. He gritted his teeth and said, "Pooh! Soul Refining Cage is useless against Magic Immunity! Let's attack together! We need to disrupt the boss's attack rhythm, or we'll all die if it uses Rock Eater again! This isn't a matter of strength, it's a matter of luck!"
Little Piglet was standing at the edge of the battlefield, slashing at the giant dragon with his sword, causing it to tremble in fear. It whipped its tail at Little Piglet's shoulder, but as the leader of the Dark Mercenaries, Little Piglet seemed to want to prove something. He plunged his sword into the ground, leaving a trail of over a dozen meters in the ground as he forcefully blocked the boss's attacks. He grabbed the giant dragon's tail and pierced through its scales, activating Ice Blade Break and dealing over 400,000 damage to the boss. It was a powerful attack that ignored Defense.
"Roar roar …"
In pain, Blood Skull raised its claws and swiped at Little Piglet three times in a row. Little Piglet's HP dropped to around 10%. Just one more swipe and he'd be back to full health.
I couldn't let Little Piglet die, or we'd lose a force that could keep Cyan Earth City in check.
I hurriedly leaped forward and activated Coldness of the Nine States. Burning Blade Slash + Universe Break! Since I was in Lu Buyi's party, all of my stats were boosted by 150%. My Attack, Defense, and HP had all reached unprecedented heights. Naturally, the boss couldn't handle this series of attacks. Four damage numbers flew above his head. Universe Break, in particular, dealt 7x damage to the boss.
“286637！”
“342121！”
“371887！”
“3788932！”
… …
Blood Skull's aggro instantly fell on me, and the damage I dealt stunned Breeze and Rain, God of War, and Tear Stain. Tear Stain pursed her lips and sighed. "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand will always be a scourge to us if he stays in the China server. It doesn't matter if he's a friend or a foe. He's so strong, and he's so intelligent that he can turn the tides of a battle …"
Not far away, Red Maple licked his lips and said, "Let's find a chance and crush Sky City with Japan and Korea!"
Tear Stain chuckled. "Maybe …"
While everyone was chatting, I was enduring the BOSS's tyrannical attacks. Sharp claws, huge jaws, and four consecutive attacks. My [Battle Spirit Astral Wind], which was at full toughness, could be shattered the moment I summoned it, so I only took two hits. The remaining two attacks were still very painful.
“MISS！”
“MISS！”
“790821！”
“831675！”
… …
The Coldness of the Nine States was held horizontally in front of his chest, blocking the Blood Skull's attack. A scorching sensation came from the blade of the sword, and a crack appeared on the blade. The durability of the Divine Weapon had suffered a huge blow, and the Azure Dragon Shield had taken a hit from the Blood Skull's claw. There were three claw marks on the shield.
Above the city, Murong Mingyue healed me for over 700k HP before shouting, "Don't die, Lu Chen! Control your DPS and don't stand out too much. Do you need me to teach you that the tallest tree in the forest will be the first to be destroyed?" Murong Mingyue's super long-range healing skills healed me for over 700k HP.
I swung my sword with almost all of my strength and forced the boss's claws away.
"Roar!"
Blood Skull raised its head and roared angrily as if its authority had been challenged. Then, it opened its bloody mouth and tried to bite me!
"Perfect timing!"
I abruptly took a few steps back, my Ghost War Boots stepping on the hard rock. I bent my body slightly and channeled the power in my arm into my sword. Cold of the Nine States flew out, and Coiling Dragon Revolution whistled out. The sharp sword carried a spiraling storm as it accurately struck the boss's giant mouth!
"Bang!"
Blood Skull's huge body suddenly trembled, and blood spurted from its mouth. Coldness of the Nine States had actually penetrated through the Boss's head and flew back with the force of a spin. This attack had already exploded with a critical hit and a 7x damage stacked. This was an attack that had never been seen before!
“8574398！”
… …
Even though the boss had hundreds of millions of HP, I could still see a huge chunk of its HP drop. The attack stunned all the experts in the server who were attacking the boss. No one thought that a player could deal this much damage to a boss.
Breeze and Rain shot God of War a serious look. God of War lowered his voice and said, "I knew it. The West King will always be a huge threat to us if he stays in the China server! He's a disaster!"
Chiang chiang chiang...
Sparks flew off the Azure Dragon Shield as my HP dropped below 50%. As I retreated, I shouted, "What are you waiting for? People of Cyan Earth City, Hero City, and Burning City, are you here to watch the show?"
Tear Stain, Breeze and Rain and the others only resumed their assault after I shouted at them. Their chaotic attacks quickly distracted the boss and allowed me to escape from the lethal threat.
… …
The Mad Purgatory Dragon players appeared at the broken walls. Roaming Dragon stared at the boss in the distance and sucked in a deep breath. "As I thought, the devil sleeping beneath the Godslayer Fortress is one of the Nine Sovereigns of the Purgatory, the Earth Rock Devourer. Go, Sunshine! Let's follow our strategy. The bard will be fully buffed, and all the priests will focus on healing you!"
Sunshine spurred the Black Qilin around his neck. It was the Heaven Suppressing Chain, one of the Seventy-two Demon-grade weapons. It had 100% lifesteal, and it was the Mad Purgatory Dragon's proudest attribute. After killing so many powerful bosses in a row, Wang Dongliang had even arrogantly declared that "with sunshine in hand, the world is mine". It was clear how strong Sunshine was right now.
