Chapter 246 – Death Rhythm
“Ready your swords!”
With my command, the members of [Zhan Long] and the members of [Ruined Bones] at the entrance of Waning Moon Valley all pulled out their weapons: swords, sabers, spears, halberds and blades flashed under the moonlight. Our group was responsible for delaying the enemy’s front line.
Behind me, Darling Duck raised her Healing Rod, with a “Whoosh” I was bathed in a shining light creating a protective wall around me. A battle notification appeared: Player Darling Duck has cast Lv 6【Protection】on you, raising your defense and magic resistance by 12% for 30 minutes.
“Tsk”, 3rd job advancement Healers could cast [Protection] and at Lv 10 it could raise a player’s defense and magic resistance by 20%; it was a skill that greatly increases ones survivability. The potential of a Healer’s support skills were becoming much clearer.
Sadly, there were too few high level Healers in [Zhan Long]; Darling Duck was the only Healer with the 3rd job advancement. Otherwise, we would be able to cast [Protection] on everyone. That would make us unkillable!
……
My Frost Rain Sword twitched as the distance between [Vanguard]’s players and us decreased. When there were only 10 steps between us, Fox asked in the party chat: “Xiao Yao, when are we going to start our attack?”
I sternly said: “Don’t be impatient, once [Vanguard] clashes with our frontline we will strike from behind, making it so that they won’t even have the chance to retreat!”
“Ok!”
“Here they come!” Matcha lifted her Glass Spear of the Dragon’s Soul and directly unleashed a [Phantom Ray] attack!
“Hong!”
Dust blanketed the fields, while the attack, with such a poor angle, only struck two people……..
My face almost turned black: “Matcha, you…”
Matcha’s face turned red: “Boss, my hit was a bit off….”
“Don’t miss again next time, picture the spot you want to hit before you activate the skill……”
“Ok, sure….”
My Frost Rain Sword trembled as a group of Swordsmen and Berserkers arrived before our eyes. I immediately cast [Seven Star Fragment Slash]. The sword glowed with energy as it carved into the center of the group, inflicting a large amount of damage to each of them
1827!
1939!
2001!
……
Crouching slightly, I activated [Blade Rush], seizing the opportunity to finish off a few [Vanguard] members.
“Clash!”
My body charged 5 meters past the group, leaving a trail of bodies in my wake. [Seven Star Fragment Slash] and [Blade Rush] were sufficient for killing most of [Vanguard’s] players; only elite players like Jian Feng Han, Fushen Thousand Blades and others like them could survive that combination.
“Damn!”
Don’t Be Foolish lifted his spear and yelled: “Hey Monk! Cast [Put Down the Knife] on Xiao Yao Zi Zai! His attack power is too high and our Knights cannot defend against him! This will not do!”
Goodbye Tears nodded: “Ok!”
With an “om” sound, a golden Buddha light descended from above me, lowering my attack by 10%!
In the party chat, Thousand Suns Over Snowy Lands said, “Boss, let’s work together to kill Goodbye Tears. Once the caster dies, [Put Down the Knife]’s effect will disappear!”
“Okay!”
Surging forward, I lifted my fist; summoning my Flaming Tiger God. He roared as he appeared. His body grew larger as his claws, clad with fire, pounced on Goodbye Tears, knocking off 1429 points of his health. This bastard’s defense was truly high!
I crouched down and punched the ground, activating [Binding Chains]!
“Bang!”
Chains broke out from the ground, shooting straight at Goodbye Tears and binding his legs. I waved my hand and cast [Great Realm of Desolation]!
1821!
Not good, my attack power had been reduced by 10%; [Great Realm of Desolation] barely did 2000 damage….
Behind me, Thousand Suns Over Snowy Lands jumped to the front lines with a “whoosh”. Words spilled out of her mouth, while her staff danced through the air, creating an indigo magic arrow that shot through the air. Goodbye Tears’ eyes widened as he saw the beautiful Mage’s attack and he cursed under his breath: “F*ck, double-teaming me, that’s cheap….”
“Bang!”
The [Indigo Sea Arrow] pierced the Monk’s chest, causing a big damage number to appear—-
2428!
From the mountain peak, two shots sounded as Fox activated [Double Shot], sniping and finishing off Goodbye Tears.
……
Deep within the ranks of [Vanguard] players, I was surrounded by flashes of swords striking me, but the damage was insignificant to me. With the 12% boost, my defense was at 2278, similar to that of high level Knights like Don’t be Foolish. How could average Swordsmen break through my defense?
Waving my sword, I used [Combo] and [Fierce Ice Blade] to kill 2 Swordsmen in front of me. I didn’t even bother to retreat and kept moving on forward. At the same time, I cast a Lv 7 [Heal], recovering 1050 of my own health. My self-sufficiency was high enough that there wasn’t anything I was afraid of!
Behind me, with his whirlwind and glowing battle axe that terrified all, Old K had already engulfed a crowd of enemies with [Whirlwind Slash]. Immediately switching over to [Savage Jump Slash], he managed to kill and scare off many [Vanguard] players. A Knight stood at the front and roared bravely, “Stand strong! I will block Ran Min’s attack; Swordsmen attack! Use your [Flame Blade]s to kill him!”
“Clang!”
Old K swung down onto the Knight’s shield fiercely, however it did not affect the Lv 60 Knight at all. From the sides, many Swordsmen and Berserkers from [Vanguard] attacked him, bringing his health down rapidly!
I hurriedly retreated and cast [Heal] on him while shouting, “Pull back! [Whirlwind Slash] is on cooldown, wait for it to come back on before attacking again!”
Old K glared at the Knight with a murderous intent, “But I want to kill this bloody Knight before I go!”
“Brother Old K, allow me!”
From behind, Dong Cheng Lei raised his battle axe and charged, both of his hands swung his weapon down onto the Knight. With a bang, his super strength completely overwhelmed and shattered the Knight’s defenses, knocking his shield out of his hands. Thousand Suns Over Snowy Lands and Matcha took this chance to kill him!
