Chapter 276 – Dark Raider
“Ah, an Assassin skill ……”
With the Emperor Qin’s Sword in hand, I smiled, “To summon blades surrounding a target and dealing AOE damage over time, this is a great assassination skill, especially in close range. Assassinations will also be possible with this [10 Way Blade] attack, which increases your strength tremendously.”
Li Mu grinned, “Our guild has no shortage of assassins. Sister Matcha, how will you handle this skill book?”
Matcha blinked, and smiling towards the two sisters Yue Qing Qian and Yue Wei Liang, said ,”You two are so strong already, let’s give this to Wolf. He is [Zhan Long] studio’s top Assassin, though his current strength is too weak, so…don’t take offense okay?”
Yue Qing Qian chuckled, “Ah, no problem! My sister and I will rely on our own strengths to obtain new skills!”
“Great!”
In a flash the [10 Way Blade] Skill book was transferred over to Wolf.
“Shua”
A ray of light signified that Wolf successfully learned it. Trying it out, a “Ding” sound rang out as three sharp blades suddenly appeared and floated around Wolf. I could only imagine what the pain those that ventured too close would feel.
…….
“Alright! The second BOSS has been conquered. Everybody get ready for the third wave of monsters!”
I quickly examined our rear guard, and found that it was lacking the most people, so I called out to Matcha, “Call up our 1100+ member reserve force, we might need them later. Besides, taking this opportunity to gain some experience isn’t bad for them either!”
Matcha nodded, “They are just outside the quest area watching. I’ll get Dancing Forest to bring them over!”
“Okay.”
A few minutes later, the Archer Dancing Forest led the whole party over; on every member’s shoulder floated an image of a ferocious dragon – the emblem of [Zhan Long]. With 1000+ people behind her and a longbow in hand, Dancing Forest asked, “Guild Master, how will you organize this group of people?”
I directed them towards [Zhan Long]’s left flank, “When the third wave comes, our left flank won’t be able to hold them off and will be completely wiped out. Dancing Forest, you guys will be over there and take some Monks and Knights from the main guild. With the Monks and Knights tanking up front, we should be able to hold for at least 3-5 waves. The experience here is so plentiful; even if some die, they will not lose out.”
Dancing Forest nodded, “Ok, I understand!”
………
Right at this time, the north gates slowly opened as the third wave of monsters marched out. It was a group of ugly orcs waving swords, halberds, axes, and other weapons. They rode on huge wolves, covered by heavy fur that exuded an overpowering stench. The roar of the orcs echoed loudly across the battlefield, sending a shiver down every player’s spine; the difficulty of the monsters seemed to have increased again!
“Every person hold your defensive formations!” Matcha loudly commanded.
The front group of Knights hunkered down with raised shields. From afar, the dense mass of monsters marched closer, the thunder of their roars splitting the sky. At the same time, I was able to obtain the stats from the closest orc; compared to the previous wave, these monsters were truly much stronger!
【Dark Raider】(Phantom Tier Monster)
Level: 68
Attack: 1650-2140
Defense: 1120
Health: 19000
Skills:【Heavy Strike】【Flame Blade】【Cruel Shock】
Description: Dark Raiders are ancient orcs that conquered the wolves and made them into their own mounts to loot human civilization for food and weapons. These Dark Raiders have been summoned by the evil forces of the ancient city to become the basic guardians. Dark Raiders’ quick movement speed and brutal attacks have left many human armies trembling in fear – be cautious when dealing with them.
…..
“Be careful!” I loudly shouted, “Their attacks have upper limits of 2140 and their healths are almost 20000. They know [Heavy Strike] and [Flame Blade]; the third skill Cruel Shock may be AOE. Healers, be prepared to use group heals indiscriminately on the front line, otherwise we won’t be able to hold them …..”
Darling Duck lifted her staff, “We know, Boss…..”
“Hou, hou …..”
The first group of Dark Raiders arrived. Raising their axes and swords, they landed heavy blows, slicing and chopping at the frontline tanks’ heavy armor and shields. The damage from [Heavy Strike] and [Flame Blade] was terrifying, fatal numbers appeared one after another —-
1726!
1337!
1937!
…….
Some people even sustained 2000+ points of damage, truly frightening! Fortunately Darling Duck and other Healers prepped group heals for the front line, otherwise, we would have had many casualties for sure. However, some had bad luck and died from receiving multiple critical hits.
“Keng, keng keng ……”
Grinding against the heavy shields, the battle axes of the Dark Raiders riding on their huge wolf mounts created long red sparks. The various high level attacks left [Zhan Long]’s front line continuously shaking; we could only struggle to fight back. Old K jumped in, activating [Whirlwind Blade] and [Savage Jump Slash], while Yue Qing Qian and Yue Wei Liang also charged in with their skills.
Wolf continuously slashed at the Dark Raiders in front of him and with a wave of his hand, [10 Way Blade] was activated. Suddenly the sharp blades surrounding Wolf started to slice through enemies. 1500+ damage numbers flied up and two Dark Raiders cried out, completely unable to withstand the damage, and fell down.
“Hong!”
My [Seven Star Fragment Slash] and [Great Realm of Desolation] swept through the front monsters. The latter skill’s AOE effect dealt massive damage to the surrounding Dark Raiders as well. My Flaming Tiger God roared mightily, once again thriving in the midst of the monsters. Bounding forward with [Burstfire Raid], he lifted his head and roared, showing his true colors with the death of more than a dozen Dark Raiders.
“Pa ta….”
