High Fighting Spirits let out a war cry as he charged toward the magic knight, Red Dust. His Invincible glowed with a blood-red light as he used Barrier Break. Red Dust was a famous expert, and he was the vice leader of Candle Dragon's first subguild. His HP and Defense were both incredible.
High Fighting Spirits' Invincibility skill pierced through Red Dust's shield and dealt over 15000 damage to him. However, it wasn't enough to one-shot him. Red Dust didn't let up in the slightest as he swung his spear and deleted almost half of High Fighting Spirits' HP with a flurry of attacks.
"Hmph, you're courting death!"
High Fighting Spirits cackled like a madman before suddenly grabbing Red Dust's arm. Then, he swung his battle axe and unleashed Xiezhi Howl at Red Dust. Red Dust's mount quickly lost its tenacity, and in the next moment, Red Dust's mount collapsed to the ground with a mournful whine before vanishing into thin air. Red Dust had also returned to his original form as a foot soldier.
As a result, High Fighting Spirits had nothing to worry about anymore. He raised his battle axe and killed Red Dust twice in a row. Even though Red Dust had a priest to heal him, High Fighting Spirits still managed to kill him.
… …
Chiang!
The Heaven-stealing Sword slammed into the enemy's sword and sent him stumbling backward. The warrior who managed to parry my attack was none other than Bloody Fights. He was also an expert of Candle Dragon's first subguild, and he had the name "Fang Zheng" above his head. He was a professional player who had signed a contract with the Fang Zheng Group.
After my attack missed, I dashed forward and launched a sneak attack from the side. I used War Crush and Thousand Ice Slash, killing Bloody Fights in an instant.
Thud thud!
A sharp pain radiated from my chest as two iron arrows smashed into it. It was Purple Dawn's arrow attack, followed by a Spiraling Arrow Blade. I lost another 4000 + HP in the midst of the Spiraling Arrow Blade Storm. Mn, this kind of top-tier archer really was a pain in the ass. His arrows definitely had a chance to ignore Defense, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hurt me so much. After all, I had two pieces of Earth-grade defensive equipment on me. The Soul Suppressing Cloak and Crimson Rock Dragon Armor weren't just for show. The average archer would only be able to hit me in the double digits. To be able to hit me in the four digits meant that they had ignored most of my Defense.
"Beiming, suppress Purple Dawn!"
Beiming Xue's beautiful figure dashed through the crowd after I shouted. Her Blazing Shadow Bow glowed with an intimidating light as she fired seven or eight arrows in a row. Purple Dawn had no choice but to retreat or else he wouldn't be able to defend himself at all. If Beiming Xue landed a critical hit, Purple Dawn would be dead for sure. The dark archer's arrows were all imbued with Rank 10 undead energy, and Beiming Xue's top-tier equipment was extraordinarily powerful.
Now that Purple Dawn had retreated, the pressure on our archer corps was greatly reduced. Gui Guzi immediately raised Rainbow and shouted, "Charge, brothers and sisters!"
Nearly a hundred Fireblade Cavalrymen launched Charge at the same time, shattering the sweet dreams of the Candle Dragon players. Their blades collided with the shields and armors of their enemies, and a single charge was all it took to knock out a lot of Candle Dragon's First Subguild players. With the help of their ranged comrades, the Fireblade Cavalrymen swiftly tore a hole in the enemy's formation.
A Level 125 Candle Dragon warrior raised his spear and shouted angrily, "Don't panic! We need to protect the Martial God and Blue Sky Scar until they finish the boss! As members of Candle Dragon, we can't retreat! For our beliefs and dreams, brothers! Charge!"
I didn't expect someone to have the courage to raise our morale at a time like this. It was true that Candle Dragon was full of talented players, and many of them had been attracted by Candlelight Shadow's fame.
The Warrior raised his spear and sprinted forward, but his surroundings suddenly became incomparably cold. The next moment, the grass turned into a river of ice, and stars flashed above his head. A biting cold storm erupted, and the Warrior's HP instantly disappeared. The Warrior's teammates around him also fell to the ground one after another. Then, a mighty Dragon's Roar followed, and the Level 125 Warrior with decent equipment also collapsed to the ground.
Thud!
Stranger of Three Lifetimes stabbed her scepter into the ground after she was done with it. Then, she said with a smile, "That's enough discipline. Continue!"
I couldn't help but sigh in amazement. That Level 125 warrior had over 19000 HP, but Stranger of Three Lifetimes was able to one-shot him with an AoE spell in an instant. What kind of magic attack was that?
I couldn't help but think of Luo River God of the Capital. Back in the arena, every time I fought Luo River God of the Capital, I was always scared witless. It was as if I could be killed by her magic combo at any moment. Once a mage's Magic Power reached a certain level, they would become a terrifying existence. Moreover, the class itself was a terrifying one. High-level mages were practically invincible once they had Strong Magic Shield. As long as they could dodge a warrior's Barrier Break, a mage would be more than enough to deal with any warrior. Fans of the book also loved to read:
… …
He Yi, Xu Yang, Li Chengfeng, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Chaos Moon, and the others were also standing on the frontlines. Barrier Breaks flashed across the battlefield as the core experts of the enemy were killed one after another. They had become a nightmare for the players of Candle Dragon's first subguild. It was easy to cast a shadow over the enemy's hearts when faced with such a fierce assault.
Chaos Moon's strength had skyrocketed after she obtained a new set of Spirit-grade equipment. Moreover, she had also obtained a new skill called Rock Crush. For a time, she was invincible. She swung her sword and unleashed a Rock Crush that looked like a mountain range. When the image of a cyan mountain fell on a group of players, everyone could clearly see the color draining from the faces of the Candle Dragon players. The power of this skill was simply too shocking.
Even Du Thirteen, Yamete, and the others charged forward and joined the fray.
The main force of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls joined the fray, and after a round of fierce attacks, Candle Dragon's first subguild finally couldn't hold on any longer. Ten minutes later, their frontline completely collapsed, and over 1000 players were killed by Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. It was a one-sided battle.
Kacha!
After killing four warriors with a Burning Blade Slash, I had completely broken through the enemy's formation. When I looked to the front, I saw a giant dragon floating in the air and attacking the players on the ground with its claws and dragon breath. Candlelight Shadow, Blue Sky Scar, Tempest Shadow, and the others were all acting as MTs as they struggled to block the boss's attacks.
Boom boom boom...
God's Dance, the super mage, waved her scepter and bombarded the boss with fireballs. This Great Earth Wind Dragon was a wind-type mob, so fire magic was the perfect counter to it. It was obvious that God's Dance was the main force in this battle. Every single one of her spells dealt over ten thousand damage to the boss. She was way too powerful. The other readers looked at her normally.
… …
He Yi, Gui Guzi, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun and the others galloped toward us. Behind them, Li Chengfeng, Chaos Moon, and the others continued to harvest the remaining players of Candle Dragon's first subguild. Stranger of Three Lifetimes had also arrived with Blazing Hot Lips after a brief rescue mission. They stopped when they were about three hundred yards away from the Great Earth Wind Dragon. The boss still had around 30% HP, so Candle Dragon would be able to kill it for at least 15 minutes.
"Why aren't you joining in, Momo?" I asked.
Stranger of Three Lifetimes curled her lips. "I'm not going to be cannon fodder. Look, didn't Purple Lily appear on the other side?
Oh, look to the southeast. Snowy Cathaya and The Monarch Descends are chatting with each other. Hmm, Warsky Alliance is here too. Let's see who can't hold back first. Either way, this boss is going to be a huge headache for Candle Dragon. "
"Mn."
I nodded and did a quick count. As expected, there were over 2000 players from Candle Dragon's main guild. I had to admit that Candlelight Shadow's ability was impressive. The fact that he was able to gather so many players from the B8 floor in such a short time was something that only someone with a certain amount of charisma and strength could pull off.
The beautiful Soul of the Beast chuckled. "Hmph, who wants to go first? Candlelight Shadow has Ghost God Prophecy and it's a sure-kill skill. I don't think anyone will be able to take the lead. Why don't you go first, Lu Chen?"
I quickly shook my head. "No, I'm not going to die. It won't be too late to kill Candlelight Shadow after he's done using Ghost God Prophecy …"
Lasting covered her mouth and giggled. "That's right. Everyone is a little afraid of Candlelight Shadow's Famous General Skill. He's already killed top-tier experts like Lin Bing Dou Zhe and Laughing At The Heavens with Ghost God Prophecy, and he's going to keep killing. Just wait and see. He's definitely going to be a guild leader or even a CGL Hall of Famer!"
I smiled. "Not necessarily. Let's just wait and see. There will be people who are even more impatient than us. Don't forget that we have three dragon scales, so we can send three parties to the B9 floor. There are a lot of guilds who don't even have a single dragon scale, so I'm sure they're going to fight with their lives on the line.
"Mn, that's true!"
Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had three dragon scales, Snowy Cathaya had one, Warsky Alliance had two, and Candle Dragon had one. The other guilds like Purple Lily, Peach Garden, Gods of Destruction, and the top ten guilds of Vanished God City didn't have a dragon scale, so I wasn't worried at all.
… …
Just as I expected, a swarm of players charged toward the boss before its HP dropped to 20%. It was Peach Garden and Indigo Collar's army. There were about 7000 of them, but it looked like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. It would be very difficult for them to deal any real damage to Candle Dragon.
Candlelight Shadow glanced around and growled, "Blue Sky, go kill Indigo Collar with Tempest Shadow. Hmph, this annoying fly is a hindrance …"
"Got it!"
Blue Sky Scar raised his sword and charged forward, while Tempest Shadow led a group of riders. A large group of players clashed with Peach Blossom's players, and it was clear that Peach Blossom's players stood no chance against them. A single round of Charge was all it took for Peach Blossom's frontline players to die. Compared to Blue Sky Scar and Tempest Shadow, Peach Blossom's players were at least slightly weaker.
Seeing that the depths of the peach blossom land were about to collapse, someone finally lost his patience — — Clang!
Li Chengfeng abruptly unsheathed his Tempest Sword and growled, "Fuck Candlelight Shadow, I can't wait any longer! I'm going to kill him right now!"
Li Chengfeng didn't wait for me or He Yi to give the order and charged toward Peach Garden with his troops.
"Fuck, this bastard …"
There was nothing I could do. Li Chengfeng's hatred for Candlelight Shadow wasn't small, so he couldn't control himself.
