With a fierce roar, Flaming Tiger God rushed up to the front-line howling. It was already at the extremely high level of 65, and its attack was 3250. [Burstfire Raid] roasted a whole herd of Blazing Tortoises. After following up with a combination of other skills, the healths of the Blazing Tortoises immediately began to drop. Seeing each tortoise receive an average of 3000+ damage, I knew for sure Flaming Tiger God was not much weaker than me at all.
Only a few seconds later, Flaming Tiger God retreated with low health, similarly unable to endure the battle; the damage from [Flame Burst] was too high. Leaving the healing range of the Healers would very likely result in death. It was times like these that really showcased the importance of Healers. It was a good thing that we managed to survive the previous 6 waves of monsters. [Zhan Long]’s Healers didn’t suffer many casualties, and their formation remained mostly intact. This was also one of our guild’s advantages in later stages of long events.
Despite our best efforts, the front line players died continuously and even Matcha had to activate [Holy Shield] to survive. Fortunately, the burning effect of the Blazing Tortoise couldn’t stack; each player could only be burned once per second. Otherwise, our formations would have definitely collapsed!
“Huacha! ”
I used [Blade Rush] forward once and immediately turned around. As I slashed my way back like a tornado, I activated another [Seven Star Fragment Slash]. This method of attack was skillful and effective; a large herd of Blazing Tortoises had already turned into corpses under these attacks. At the same time, there was a “pata” sound as one of them dropped a fiery red card. I picked it up and looked at it; it’s effects weren’t bad at all—–
【Blazing Tortoise Card】: Increase the user’s defense by 10% and HP limit by 5%. Level Requirement: 60. Effect duration: 120 minutes.
……
I immediately threw it to Matcha. There wasn’t much point in her pursuing a higher attack, so why not improve her resilience? That way, she could become [Zhan Long]’s front line protector.
Healing myself, I recovered 1050 health points.
Dancing Forest pulled back her longbow as she stood in the rear. With a “pa”, a Blazing Tortoise in the distance was stunned by a [Scattered Shot]. The tortoise behind it kept ramming against it, but couldn’t get past it at all. Watching this filled Dancing Forest with hope, as she lifted her longbow up and gave a loud command, “Every Archer use [Scattered Shot] and aim 5 yards ahead of the front line in order to trap the Blazing Tortoises within our attack range! That way our front lines won’t suffer too much damage!”
A group of Archers followed her command, and naturally, it worked! This managed to reduce fire damage the tanks took by more than 50% and much pressure was lifted off the Healers. The rest of the teams copied the tactic to stabilize their positions, making sure they wouldn’t break formation again.
One by one, the Blazing Tortoises died by my blade and my experience kept rising exponentially. Opening up the rankings to look, I had finally overcome my hurdle; I was finally Ba Huang City’s number one. No matter how strong Jian Feng Han was, his Flaming Cloud Sword was no match for my Emperor Qin’s Sword. Jiang Feng Han had no hope of returning to the top, especially since the ability [Kill for Blood] was just too OP. My usurping of the throne was inevitable.
Lifting my sword, I looked into the distance; the plains had once again plunged into chaos. [Zhan Long] and [Flying Dragon] barely got by the seventh wave of Blazing Tortoises; the newly arrived reinforcements had been wiped out. The damage that the Blazing Tortoises dealt in close combat was just too horrifying. Without enough skilled Healers to give support, there was only one fate: death.
……
“Kill faster….” I frowned, “The pressure on the north side of the [City of the Ancients] is just too much. We need help from everyone to decrease the pressure…..”
“Okay!”
Matcha picked up an armor that one of the Blazing Tortoises dropped and smiled, “A Lv 64 Gold Tier armor, it’s almost on the same level as a Lv 50 Purple Tier armor. So strong…..”
Bai Qi slapped his leg and said, “Ha, my leg guards were just replaced. Hehe, the stats were much stronger than my original Lv 47 Purple Tier leg guards, adding an extra 9% physical defense and 7% magical defense. Low level Emperor Tiers are about that good…”
