I raised both swords and threw a [Wind Blade]+[Fierce Ice Blade]. The little demon in front of me wailed as I cut into it. Cutting it and killing it at the same time, I managed to drain quite a bit of health back——
“7625!”
“+1525!”
“7422!”
“+1484!”
……
The 20% Drain effect from the Ruler’s Ring was just too amazing. This greatly increased my ability to last in a drawn out battle. Even if I didn’t have the support of Healers, I could probably deal with 1-2 of them on my own.
However, while Wan Er and I could fend of our inch of territory, it was much harder for the rest of them. The close combat tier players near Qing Qian were continuously being killed by the Little Sickle Demons. It looked as though they were about to break through. [Wrath of the Heroes], [Hero’s Mound: Division One] and [Thousand Mound] had completely lost their defense. The frontline players had pretty much all been killed!
I quickly glanced towards One Second Hero, “Yong Jie, use your special skill!”
Without a second though, One Second Hero smashed his shield into the ground and roared, activated [Fierce Sun Wall]. All of the people around us obtained the shield’s effect, helping people hold up a little. Everyone focused on firepower as the effect remained. Once it finished, Simple immediately waved her staff, activating [Savage Domain]. It was another shield type of skill, that allowed all of the people around us to receive 5000 less damage.
Once the two great skills were completed, I glanced around and felt a little annoyed. My [King Domain] from the Ruler’s Ring still had 9 hours of cool down left. Whatever, no need to waste time thinking about it. I quickly activated a [Halberd Flame] to burn all of the little sickle demons around me. I did everything in my power to kill more of these little monsters. My Flaming Tiger God also roared and charged into the crowd of monsters. After using a [Bursfire Raid] it got killed by a group of little demons. Looking at Wan Er’s Purple Kirin Dragon flying in the sky, I realized it was much safer for it than my tiger.
……
“Boss, they’re about to break through our defense!” Li Mu’s eyes widened and he said, “These little sickle demons are practically like servants of the Death God. Every attack is accurate and brutal. How are we supposed to deal with them?”
Not far from us, Yan Zhao also shouted, “How’s [Zhan Long] doing? [Prague] can’t hold up much longer!”
I gritted my teeth, “Even if we can’t hold up, we still have to fight. Either way, it’s better than waiting for our deaths!”
……
“Yi?”
Right at that moment, Wan Er’s beautiful eyes glanced back at the introduction. She reached into her bag and grabbed a fistful of gold. “Shua!” She threw it towards the west. Right at that moment all of the little demons started screeching and lunging for the gold. Some of them even started fighting each other.
“Now, charge!”
Our beautiful little miss really was clever, to actually think of a method like this… I raised my sword and charged forward. This time everyone switched from defense to attack, killing quite a few. In the chaos, we killed a dozen of them and then returned to defense. The experience was extremely good. Plus, we decreased the damage to ourselves by quite a bit. All we had to do was spend a little bit of money….
Once Yan Zhao, Jian Feng Han and the others saw this happening, it was as though they grabbed onto a strand of hope. Isn’t it just spending a little money? As long as they could complete this quest, what wouldn’t they sacrifice?!
And so, gold flew into the air, decreasing the charging power dealt on the players. Even though players were still dying, we weren’t at the point of losing control of the situation any longer.
……
On the other side of the formation, Frost and Luo Lin gripped their swords, letting out a strong aura. They didn’t seem to have any intent on fighting for the players, and continued to fight their own fights.
Nearly 2 hours of fierce battle later, We had killed off all of the little sickle demons. But the 170,000+ Gold I had in my bag was almost all gone. Wan Er curiously glanced at me, “I lost 110,000 in total. Guild Master, now its up to you, how do you plan on compensating me?”
I felt a stab in my heart and nearly cried, “Let’s talk about it later. Why don’t we finish this quest first….”
……
Looking around me, I saw corpses everywhere. Without thinking, we lost a bunch of more players. Looking around [Zhan Long] at most had 150 people left. The player camp in total probably didn’t have more than 1000. Even [Vanguard] and [Prague] only had around a hundred players left. Our loss were great. Furthermore, there was still a few little sickle demons lunging at our formation. However, it looked as though the NPC camp managed to keep most of their army intact. There were at least 1000+ of them sitll fighting.
“Careful!”
Frost retreated several steps and shouted, “Lin Han is here!”
