Chapter 581: High intensity battle
Chapter 581: High intensity battle
I activated Shifang Flame Spiral Eye and when the monsters were 200 meters from me I got their stats and shared them with the guild–
Ice Demon (Legacy Grade Monster)
Level: 124
Attack: 17000-23500
Defence: 16000
Health: 3500000
Skill: Gouge, Backstab, Annihilation, Ice Blade Boomerang, Ice Armor Protection
Introduction: Ice Demon, experts from the northern wilderness, they are birthed from the ice elements and walk in the eternal darkness and frost, they are great at sneak attacks
……
“Damn!”
I wiped my eyes, “Am I seeing correctly? This fellow has annihilation?”
“En, you are correct.”
Lin Xi held her sword and said, “But what does this mean? Such monsters can drop Annihilation? If that is the case then it won’t be your specialty.”
“Maybe…”
I frowned, “My skills might slowly be released to normal assassins, if not it doesn’t really make sense.”
“Good that you know.”
Mundane Slaughter said, “Those Assassins that got insta killed by you, you can’t understand their game experience. One day if you suffer from White Cloak+Annihilation, you will understand.”
I laughed, “Okay then.”
When Mundane Slaughter and I were laughing about it, Lin Xi said solemnly, “The Ice Demon has five skills and they are all really strong. Focus and block them. The frontline mustn’t move at all, if not once they slice in, it will be tough.”
“En!”
Everyone nodded.
In the next moment, numerous Ice Demons surged over. When they were 40 yards from us, wind formed beneath their feet and their speed started to increase. After charging through our firepower net, they raised their frost blades and a flame light shone, it was Gouge!
“Gouge! Be careful!”
While I warned everyone, I spread my palm and used Muddy Waters to stop their casts. On the left, Lin Xi used Bladestorm+Heaven Sword Umbrella. She also used Weapon Protection to draw some of their firepower.
“Come on, silence and the eternal night will be buried along with all of you!”
The Ice Demons roared and struck into crowd. Along with frost shining, they used Ice Blade Boomerang and all of a sudden, our frontline started to shake. Once Ice Blade Boomerang’s AOE damage stacked, a bunch of heavy armored players’ health fell beneath half.
At that moment, this was the most fatal time. Ice Demons roared out in rage and their Frost Blades became exaggerated. That was a familiar attack pattern, annihilation!
“Pu pu pu—”
“81992!”
“79204!”
“90228!”
“89902!”
……
Dense Annihilation numbers jumped into the sky. In an instance, over ten With You heavy armored players fell to the ground. Moreover, they were all Sika Deer Cavalries, how tragic!
“Use poison!”
Lin Xi couldn’t bear to watch and said, “Use Midnight Ecstacy for this wave!”
“Yes!”
All of a sudden, the frontline players took out the poison and tossed it into the monsters. Midnight Ecstacy, Crane Wine, etc poisons were used. Many Ice Demons were stunned, their speed was reduced and attack reduced. Their damage to players is naturally greatly reduced!
My heart hurt. These fellows tossed over 100 poisons, those were all my hard work!
Forget it, good metal used on weapons isn’t a waste…
“Frontline Paladins, Envoy of Light!”
Lin Xi commanded.
All of a sudden, the Paladins pincered in the frontlines used Envoy of Light to heal their allies to deal with the strengthening Ice Demon attacks. Heaven Morque etc high level Paladins raised their blades and their bodies were bathing in light. Many Saint Hammers descended in the crowd to cause large healing. Instantly, a large amount of health was recovered.
“Control follow up!”
Light Lantern commanded. On the frontlines, at least five With You players were able to command. If not then things would definitely get messy.
On the walls, Gu Ruyi, Shen Mingxuan and Light Frost went all out to deal damage to the monsters below. The Priests were all solemn, drinking potions while healing. This battle was not just a simple experience and points battle, now was whether or not we could hold on here.
Just like that, for ten minutes, we were able to hold on. Although we paid a heavy price and over 100 Sika Deer Cavalries died, but luckily the grave was nearby and they just needed 5 minutes to run over. As long as one was willing to sacrifice, one could return to the battlefield.
Since With You was like that, we didn’t have to even mention other guilds. In a short ten minutes, under the Ice Demon attacks, several holes appeared in Winds of Battle’s formation. Their losses were at least five times ours. Further north, Lingyan Pavilion, Forbidden City etc were being combed through like a comb and they suffered heavy losses. At least half of the heavy armored players died. Dragonrider Hall wasn’t any better either, Peng Haoren and Male Bear had to retreat with low health. Even if they could fend off this wave they would be badly hurt.
The entire defence line was tragic.
After losses started to appear, Lin Mu and Baijian gave orders to open the gates. Many undead cavalries came out with spears to make up the empty areas left by players. At the same time, the ghostfire cannons continued to fire and many purple flame mushrooms spread out.
Not only us, the NPC camp was finding it tough too.
There were at least 16 5000 men formations for a total of 80 thousand people. But in this battle, at least half of these formations were eaten up. 80 thousand elites of Black Castle and in the 4th wave half were dead!
One could say that if Lady Yun Yue didn’t have the formation, Fire Demon Witch Soora would have ordered the entire army to attack and break through Bright Moon Pass.
……
Time passed bit by bit and half an hour after the start of the wave, a message came from Cloud Arrogance, “Deputy July, I discussed with Astral Step, both of us can’t hold on, if we continue all our close combat players will all die.”
“No need.”
I said solemnly, “If both of you think you can’t hold on then head up the walls and used range players to attack. At least leave some elites to pick up gear.”
“En!”
He nodded, “Then we shall avoid their attacks, With You good luck!”
“En, rest up.”
“Okay!”
Not long later, Lingyan Pavilion and Forbidden City members left. Only With You, Winds of Battle and Dragonrider Hall were left. When I looked at the leaderboards I was delighted. This battle was a lucky win for us–
Follow Heart Level 122 Mage Points: 255882
July Wildfire Level 124 Assassin Points: 241929
Dawn Level 125 Archer Points: 221928
Lin Xi level 124 Warrior Points: 209181
Bright Moon Level 121 Archer Points: 199202
Light Frost Level 120 Mage Points: 198277
Feng Canghai Level 122 Warrior Points: 187636
Guan Guan Level 119 Archer Points: 186265
October Warm Sun Level 119 Mage Points: 185267
Xuande Level 119 Mage Points: 180288
……
Seems like this was an event that calculated points based on damage. Ruyi’s points were far ahead. Dragon Mage was just too overpowered that even I couldn’t catch up. Dawn could only see her back. In the front ten, With You had 7. All of us were on the Bright Moon Battlefield so one could see how intense it was. This was definitely not what Blood Dynasty battlefield could compare to.
“Tsk tsk–”
Wet July saw the leaderboard and smiled, “Seems like Brother Seven can’t catch up, Dragon Mage is just too strong!”
“Right.”
Light Lantern said, “In terms of AOE damage, Lu Li is slightly weaker.”
“Of course…”
I was speechless, “After all the only true AOE skill I have is Apprehension and the other are either super long CD or summoning types. I don’t have explosive skills. Ruyi is different, Dragon Flame Whirlpool, Lightning Dragon Storm etc, one skill can compare to us slashing for half a day!”
“Image…”
Haotian touched his nose, “I think so too, heavy armored players are so tough, not only is our damage low, it is dangerous too. We will get surrounded and even insta killed, all the tough work is done by us!”
“Can it be worse than us?”
Mundane Slaughter dug his nose, “We Assassins are the worse, each time we Backstab their core players and don’t even have a healer. Such despair and terror, all you close combat players don’t understand…”
“Right…”
Haotian and Light Lantern battled and the few of them nearly cried out with their heads in their hands.
