Although the battle that was taking place outside the walls of the southern gate of Eminentis City against the third wave of the monster attack had begun only about thirty minutes ago, the number of defenders who had died had already reached the hundred-thousand mark.
-665
Gu Qianxue waved her bone staff with her right hand and an arrow of energy charged with dark attribute hit a Mutant Seahorse Soldier, draining more than 2/3 of the monster's health bar.
Due to the high damage caused by Gu Qianxue's attack, the Mutant Seahorse Soldier who was about to attack a random player focused its gaze on her. A moment after locking onto its target, the monster's lungs swelled and it tilted its head back; it was clearly preparing to use its skill to execute a ranged attack.
However, just before the Mutant Seahorse Soldier managed to discharge the jet of water in its mouth, a dagger appeared from the void in the monster's back without warning.
[Reverse Stab!]
Reverse Stab, a unique assassin skill that if used in conjunction with Stealth, had a 100% probability of stunning the enemy for 2-3 seconds.
After being hit by a perfectly timed combination of skills, several stars appeared above the Mutant Seahorse Soldier's head indicating that the monster was currently stunned.
Immediately after that, a beautiful silhouette emerged from the shadows and after performing a full 360-degree rotation, drained the remaining life from the monster.
It all happened in less than two seconds!
Gu Qianxue, who was prepared to lose half of her health bar after receiving the monster's attack, was surprised by the sudden turn of events. However, she promptly woke up from her daze.
"Thank you for your help!" Gu Qianxue smiled sweetly and looked at the sexy woman in front of her.
Red Snow simply nodded and did not respond. On the contrary, she leaped into the air and her body landed directly on top of another Mutant Seahorse Soldier. While keeping her two legs clinging to the monster's neck, Red Snow unleashed a series of combined skills that drained the beast's 900 health points in less than three seconds. Immediately after, she made a somersault backwards and before her body touched the ground again, she had already disappeared into the shadows making use of her stealth skill.
A moment later, Red Snow appeared in another part of the battlefield and began to unleash a massacre among the Mutant Seahorse Soldiers who possessed high magic damage but low defense and low health.
Several elite assassins appeared in different parts of the battlefield and began to slaughter the magical monsters while making excellent use of their camouflage and explosive damage skills.
Seeing the Assassin Hall finally join the battle, Xie Feng couldn't help but sigh in relief as he inwardly complained about how these people only appeared so far.
Boom!
Several Great Whale Soldiers were sent flying as they cried out loudly after being hit by a full swing of the Calamity Spear in Xie Feng's hands.
The number of Great Whale Soldiers that Xie Feng had killed during a little over thirty minutes was several thousand. Xie Feng had even started to cast magic spells constantly.
-2001... -1999... -1996... -2000... -4002! (Critical Hit!)...
Xie Feng slashed with his spear, forming a large red arc in front of him and all the monsters in his path were mercilessly slaughtered. At the same time, he extended a hand and a fireball shot out towards a Steel Jaw Shark Warrior Soldier.
-1233
The Steel Jaw Shark Warrior Soldier who was about to assassinate a player was hit by the fireball and, having 50% less fire resistance was instantly killed even without a critical hit.
The player who was saved looked at Xie Feng with admiration and envy. Even without a critical hit the damage Shiva could cause was over 1000 points with magic attacks and 2000 points with physical attacks.
However, Xie Feng was frowning under his mask. He was not satisfied with the magic damage he had just caused. If it wasn't for the Steel Jaw Shark Warrior Soldier taking more damage from fire-type attacks, Xie Feng's previous attack would have only caused between 820 and 850 points of magic damage.
Although the damage that exceeded 800 was terrifying considering that Small Fireball caused 100% damage, but Gu Qianxue's Dark Arrow caused 200% damage and her damage was lower; Xie Feng was not satisfied.
The God of Destruction Ring was by Xie Feng's side from the moment he took his first step into this virtual world and helped him in many situations; in truth, if it were not for the God of Destruction Ring, even if Xie Feng had most of the credit, he would not be where he was today. Precisely for that reason, Xie Feng wanted that the Ring of the God of Destruction to become even more powerful because although it was still a godly and unique item considering its stats and high magic damage, with the progress of the players it was slowly being caught up.
However, even after so long, Xie Feng had no idea or clue on how to unlock the seals that restricted the ring's strength.
'Forget it. I'll think about it later.' Xie Feng shook off the thoughts of regret and quickly continued slaughtering monsters at the fastest speed possible. Although it was a shame, there was nothing he could do right now except focus on the task in front of him.
The defense battle continued.
After another thirty minutes, the number of players that had died in total during this 3rd wave of attack was 150,000! The total number of defenders who had died between the 1st and the current attack wave was approximately 300,000 players!
Considering that there was still the ongoing wave to finish and 2 even more difficult attack waves to fight, the situation was incredibly complicated!
The only good point was that the quantity of monsters was finally starting to decrease so much that the players playing the role of defenders in this battle started to surround the monsters and kill them at a faster rate, with much less deaths.
However, another unpredictable event happened.
"Shit!" one player shouted in panic as he hurriedly retreated. "Here appeared a 3 SUN boss!"
"Here appeared another 3 SUNS boss!"
"Here too!"
Several players began to shout as they reported the appearance of sun-grade bosses. The sudden change caught many players off guard and over two hundred players were killed within moments.
Xie Feng's face turned ugly and he silently cursed at how could this mission be so difficult when they were just nearing the end. Without delay, he charged in the most chaotic direction of the battlefield. As he advanced, he did not forget to slaughter all the monsters he saw on his way.
Soon, Xie Feng saw several different monsters and upon inspecting them he identified them as level 12 grade 3 SUN bosses. Because in the 1st wave the 3 SUN boss that appeared was killed quickly, Xie Feng did not get to see it. But this time he saw that the monster had approximately 7000 life points.
Swoosh!
Activating Cloud Path, Xie Feng's speed burst to new heights and dashed towards the boss like an unstoppable gale. When the monster that was causing chaos noticed that someone had sneaked up behind it, it was already too late.
-3970
-3970
-3970
When he used Redemption Stab which dealt 200% damage based on Xie Feng's physical damage and with a 50% chance that the Trishula special function of the Calamity Spear activated, the 3 SUNS boss took almost twelve thousand points of damage and died instantly.
The players were stunned as they watched Xie Feng disappear into the crowd without even stopping for a second.
"I- Insta Kill..."
"Ha ha... Insta kill a boss..."
The players didn't know how to react. Even if it was a SUN grade boss, it was still a boss! Killing a boss in one hit was insane!
In the end, all the players came to the same conclusion as they began to reorganize.
"Well, he is Shiva after all."
"Right?"
Thanks to the timely support of Xie Feng, Gu Qianxue, Red Snow, and elite players with high-quality equipment, the situation was brought back under control and the players began to slaughter the remaining monsters.
However, due to the momentary chaos, a single monster escaped.
A single Lord-grade Imperial Triton Soldier that had appeared in an area considerably farther away began to run towards the back of the defense line.
There were only two people standing there.
Yang Tian and Xie Yao.
"Well, I knew it was a good thing I stayed here." Yang Tian mumbled casually as he looked at the monster that was getting closer and closer.
"This... Young Master Yang, is this okay?" Xie Yao couldn't help but ask. Just because Gu Qianxue had been able to devastate the Imperial Triton Soldier at the end of the 2nd wave didn't mean that she or the rest of the players had forgotten the chaos that this monster caused in a matter of a minute. What's more, Xie Yao had no battle skills!
In short, except for Yang Tian, there was no one who could stop the Imperial Triton Soldier! However, Xie Yao did not believe that Yang Tian could slay the monster by himself.
"Just call me Yang Tian. That garbage young master this and young master that is a nuisance indeed... In fact, I can't kill that stuff." Yang Tian nodded, to which Xie Yao had a look that suggested saying 'I knew it'. However, Yang Tian pointed out. "But... Although I can't kill that monster, it should be fine to resist here until your big brother or someone arrives."
Yang Tian casually pulled out the shield on his back and slowly walked to meet the boss. "Well, I should at least be able to resist... Like until nightfall?"
