After I sent Lin Yixin away, the system bell rang. Finally, the seventh monster wave arrived as promised — "Ding ~, other readers, please read as usual!"
System Announcement: All players, please be informed that the seventh monster wave is the Level 147 Spirit Rank boss "Barbaric Stonebreaker?
Led by Oka, the boss stepped onto the spatial bridge created by the Purgatory Dragon Scepter!
… …
The sky shone brightly, and countless streams of energy swirled around it. Soon, huge figures rushed out of the light and were teleported over from another space. They were a group of half-beastman Warriors clad in rusty armor and chained to the waist. Every one of them was as tall as two grown men, and their skulls were half-rotten. Only a single strand of flesh connected their eyeballs to their eye sockets hung off their faces. Roaring, they charged us while dragging their heavy stone hammers!
"Roar roar roar …"
The roars of the half-beastman Warriors shook the sky and the earth. Just their appearance was enough to move many players.
Li Chengfeng grinned and said, "Why are these half blood beastmen using thick chains to tie themselves up? What is the purpose of this?"
I smiled. "There are only two types of people who use chains to tie themselves up. The first type are those who have masochistic tendencies, and the second type are those who are especially OP. Others have to use chains to restrict their movements in order to prevent them from going berserk. Which type do you think these undead half-beastmen belong to?"
Li Chengfeng's lips twitched. "It should be the latter …"
The monster army had arrived at this time. Once we were close enough, I read their stats — [Half-beastman Warrior] (Shadow Rank Mob) Level: 147 Attack: 1680 ~ 1900 Defense: 2180 HP: 150000 Skills: [Shatter], [Crush], [Sweep] Introduction: Half-beastmen from hell. These berserk and mindless half-beastmen are extremely powerful. Their bodies are covered in armor as hard as steel, and they are known as the Iron Fortress. In past wars, the Half-beastman Warriors have abandoned their pride and played an important role. The warriors of the Silver Moon Alliance hate them to the bone...
As expected, it was already a Level 147 Half-beastman Warrior with a maximum Attack of 1900. As a high-tier shadow-rank monster, its hidden Attack power would definitely be doubled if you factored in the level gap. Not a single player present could guarantee that they could withstand an attack of around 4000 Attack Power. Book buffs also loved to read: The Boss.
Pu pu pu...
The archer team under Beiming Xue's command rained down arrows on the half-beastmen. The iron arrows pierced into the half-beastmen's chests and arms, but their sturdy bodies had already begun to rot. It was as if they could ignore the iron arrows. They didn't even have the slightest hindrance to their movements as they charged forward with their war hammers!
"Roar roar!"
The first Half-beastman Warrior charged toward Gui Guzi and swung its war hammer in an arc. It slammed into the shields of Gui Guzi and the other magic knights in front of him!
Chiang chiang chiang...
Sparks flew everywhere as the magic knights shuddered violently. A string of damage numbers appeared above their heads — "1278. Fans of the book also like to read:!"
“2983！”
“3108！”
… …
Gui Guzi's Defense was as solid as an iron plate, but the magic knights were having a hard time. These half-beastmen were more than 30 levels above them, so the level suppression was terrifying. Their Defense was also greatly reduced, and their attacks had the Shatter effect. It was especially important to note that their attacks had a chance to ignore Defense.
Swhoosh!
Gui Guzi's shield moved instantaneously as he thrust his spear at the half-beastman's stomach. His spear energy exploded as he landed a Death Combo on the half-beastman's stomach. The tip of his spear pierced through the half-beastman's stomach and even pulled out its internal organs. For a time, the stench of blood assaulted everyone's nostrils and made them frown.
"Fuck me, Little Gui sure has a heavy taste …" High Fighting Spirits let out a loud laugh as he charged forward with his battle axe in hand. Xiezhi Howl lingered in the air as a cyclone of attacks swept through the horde of monsters, drastically reducing the health of a group of Half-beastman Warriors. However, High Fighting Spirits didn't have it easy either. Four to five Half-beastman Warriors swung their stone war hammers at him and smashed them into his shoulder armor!
Bang bang bang!
High Fighting Spirits' damage numbers rose like crazy. In the blink of an eye, more than half of High Fighting Spirits' HP was gone, leaving him with only 25% or so HP. As expected, a berserker who added all five stat points into Strength had more than enough attack power, but his HP was much lower. After all, he couldn't equip a shield and his armor wasn't as strong as mine.
Swhoosh!
I pounced forward and swung the Heaven-stealing Sword in a circle. Then, three flaming sword webs appeared in front of me as I activated Burning Blade Slash. The Half-beastman Warriors lost a huge chunk of their HP, but I couldn't one-shot them. Burning Blade Slash was powerful, but the Half-beastman Warriors had more than 150k HP. It wasn't something that could be killed in a short amount of time.
"Fighting Spirits, hold the line. Don't go out on your own. Fans like to read"! "
I protected High Fighting Spirits as we retreated. I said dumbfoundedly, "The next time you go out, you'll die if the mob crit you …"
High Fighting Spirits laughed out loud. "Got it! Thank you for saving my life, vice leader!"
Behind him, a group of priests kept healing High Fighting Spirits. His Defense wasn't very high, but as long as he didn't draw too much aggro, he could still tank a Level 147 shadow-rank mob with the priests' healing.
In stark contrast, He Yi and Gui Guzi stood at the frontlines, Whirlwind dancing in the air and sending chilling sword auras into the horde. The Snow Domain Windchaser neighed loudly, and the Half-beastman Warrior roared angrily as he raised his stone war hammer high into the air and smashed it into our beautiful guild leader!
Clang clang clang...
The Glacial Rampart Shield appeared on He Yi's left arm and blocked the Half-beastmen's attacks rhythmically. The Half-beastmen only managed to deal around 1000 damage to He Yi with each hit, but He Yi was able to deal over 8000 damage with every hit. Her Royal Road was a Famous General Skill while she was mounted. Her Attack power was just too high.
Clearly, He Yi had become a symbol of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls because she was absorbing a ton of damage from the mobs.
Rings of light rippled from the Snow Domain Windchaser's hooves as He Yi's Royal Road weakened the Half-beastman Warriors within several hundred yards of her. This was why we were able to hold the mobs relatively easily. Moreover, I was an undead Asura, so my passive skill, Deterrence, could also weaken the mobs to a certain extent. It was just that it wasn't as effective as He Yi's Royal Road.
Chaos Moon, Xu Yang, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Du Thirteen, and the others also raised their swords and charged at the frontline. The group fought with everything they had, protecting the party members behind them from attacks. Once the frontline had stabilized, the Guild members unleashed a barrage of spells and arrows at the monsters, dealing massive damage to them.
In the distance, Snowy Cathaya's army was also engaged in a bloody battle. Lin Yixin was riding at the very front of the Frostscythe Warhorse, slashing left and right with her Frozen Sword, causing a group of Half-beastman Warriors to stagger left and right. Dirty blood stained Lin Yixin's snow-colored armor, but she couldn't care less about it. The mobs in this wave were just too strong, and if she fell, Snowy Cathaya would most likely fall as well. A party that had lost its spiritual leader had no future.
Purple Marquis brandished his longsword and stood out on the frontline, fighting seven or eight Beastman Warriors alone. Vacuum Slash whistled through the air as it tore through the group of monsters, and Universe Thrust pierced through the chest of the Beastman at the very front. Immediately afterwards, he raised his arm and activated Absolute Zero, freezing the group of Beastman Warriors around him for three seconds, buying himself some time to recover.
The sky was ablaze with flames. Shadow Chanel had summoned a rain of fire and indiscriminately attacked a large group of Half-beastman Warriors. Countless Half-beastman Warriors screamed in pain as countless Frost Earth Spikes burst out of the ground and started a fierce massacre. That was none other than Lin Yixin's pet, the Ice Fox. Now that the little fox had matured and gained an AoE skill, it was as powerful as it could be!
… …
On the other side, our ally, The Monarch Descends, was starting to lose.
Hundreds of warriors tried to stop the Half-beastman Warriors at the frontline, but the Half-beastman Warriors were smashing them into pieces with their war hammers. A ton of damage numbers over 5000 appeared above their heads, and any critical hit was almost guaranteed to kill a warrior. The Half-beastman Warriors' levels were too high, so it was very easy for them to deal critical hits to lower-level players.
"We can't stop it …"
A party leader let out a miserable howl. Several of his melee teammates had already been crushed by the Half-beastman Warriors' war hammers!
Their stats weren't high enough, and they were losing HP too quickly. The priests at the back couldn't heal them in time, so the tragedy was obvious.
Moreover, The Monarch Descends didn't even have a single Famous General. This made it even more impossible for them to stop the high-level mobs' AoE attacks. After all, the only reason Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls was able to hold the frontline was because He Yi and Gui Guzi, two super Famous General Skill players, were tanking the mobs at the front and Bow God was dealing damage from the back. The mobs couldn't hold their ground, so of course we were able to hold them off.
… …
"Not good, The Monarch Descends is about to fall. Their first and second defense lines have already collapsed …"
I cursed inside my head. If The Monarch Descends falls, how will Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls be able to hold the eastern side of Sky City?
If the mobs spread to our front and surround us like a tidal wave, we wouldn't be able to hold them off either.
Li Chengfeng said angrily, "Goddamnit, we have to go save them! Once The Monarch Descends falls, we'll fall too …"
He Yi nodded and said, "Lu Chen, take a hundred warriors with you and assist us!"
“OK！”
I raised the Heaven-stealing Sword and shouted at the players around me, "My party, come with me! We're going to help our ally!"
Almost a hundred players, including the 40 players in my party, immediately followed me and hid behind the frontline as we charged toward The Monarch Descends' camp.
At the distance, countless Half-beastman Warriors were roaring and tearing apart The Monarch Descends' frontline.
I rushed toward them and fired a Thousand Ice Slash at them. I didn't stop there as I led the Half-beastmen toward the frontline and used War Crush to aggro more Half-beastmen. Behind me, Xu Yang, Chaos Moon, and the rest of the melee players followed me and set up a defensive formation. It wasn't long before a hundred-man frontline was formed, and I stood at the very front. My Silver Dragon Ring glowed brightly as I unleashed a Silver Dragon Storm!
… …
Ling Xueshang was so anxious that she wanted nothing more than to turn into a warrior and block the enemy's muzzles. But when she saw that Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' reinforcements had arrived, and they were all first-rate experts no less, she said gratefully, "Lu Chen, you're here!"
"Yes, healer!"
"Mn!"
