Chapter 855: Gravity Failure
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After avoiding the Blitz Storm, the boss battle returned to normal state again.
“Everyone, scatter as quickly as possible!” Seven Stars Warrior shouted. This was because there would be a lot of pressure on the Clerics if the players continued to stand together.
Previously, when the boss had used Blitz Storm, the players had to hide behind the barrier cast by the Clerics to not be instantly killed. However, since the Blitz Storm was over, if the players were still bunched together, the people around Jiang Fei would be hit by the Dragon’s Breath. Furthermore, the people who were targeted by Lightning Mark would also inflict damage to others around them.
Soon, the other players dispersed, while Jiang Fei continued to attack the dragon-form clone. Anew Returner continued to pull the boss’s aggro.
“Not good! The boss dodged my interruption skill!” A Bandit shouted. After all, the boss’s level was much higher than the players; hence, it was common for the skills to be evaded.
“Someone else, follow up!” Hazy Memory immediately shouted to his squad.
“F*ck! The boss dodged my skill too!” There would always be an unfortunate situation. Just like this time, due to a coincidence, the interruption skills of two Bandits were dodged consecutively.
“Anew Returner, cast your skill!” Seven Stars Warrior shouted. This time, they could not count on the third Bandit to interrupt. If they failed again, the Tank would have no time to deal with it.
“Okay!” Anew Returner immediately activated the Absolute Defense skill attached to the super Shield.
Boom! The boss’s skill was offset by the Shield.
“Continue! Don’t panic!” Jiang Fei was also paying attention to the boss at all times. After all, the boss’s Lightning had dealt quite a lot of damage. If Anew Returner died, the other Tanks might not be able to survive either.
As the boss fight continued, Jiang Fei and the others constantly responded to the boss’s various skills. There would be a little chaos occasionally, especially when someone was controlled by the boss. Some controlled players might be killed instantly as they were not able to dodge in time. Overall, however, the number of deaths was still acceptable.
“Everyone, get back into position! Quickly!” Soon, the boss about to cast Blitz Storm again.
The second Blitz Storm came, but this time the players already had prior experience. The Clerics quickly moved closer to the two Tanks, and the other players also chose a safe haven closest to themselves.
“Activate the shields!” Jiang Fei shouted. The Clerics once again activated the defensive shields.
Boom… The destructive Blitz Storm struck again.
“Good! Everyone spread out! One more Blitz Storm and the dragon-form clone will be dead!” Jiang Fei encouraged them. At this point, the dragon-form clone did not have much Health Points left.
Seeing that the dragon-form clone was losing more and more Health Points, the boss cast the third Blitz Storm before the dragon-form clone’s death.
“Quickly! Everyone, gather!” Jiang Fei shouted and killed the dragon-form clone.
“Urgh… This is impossible…” The dragon-form clone crashed to the ground.
“Activate the shields!” Under Jiang Fei’s orders, the Clerics activated the skill attached to the Priest’s Staff for the third time.
Boom… When the third Blitz Storm ended, the boss battle had also entered the final stage.
“Your strength has exceeded my expectations, but do you think you can beat me just like this? You’re too naive!” The boss yelled once again.
“Everyone be careful, focus on getting rid of the players who are controlled by the boss!” Jiang Fei did not forget to remind his teammates.
As the Clerics did not have much Mana Points left, Jiang Fei quickly pulled the aggro of the boss away from Anew Returner. Due to the regeneration effect of the Cauldron of Spirit, he did not need any healing. However, it was not the same for Anew Returner. The boss’s Lightning put a lot of pressure on him; hence, he required constant healing to maintain his Health Points.
“Come on! This boss is basically dead! The Bandits just have to focus on interrupting his Light of Destruction!” Jiang Fei encouraged everyone in the party chat.
“Don’t worry about it, guild master! We won’t miss it!” Hazy Memory assured him. Although there had been a small accident previously, he did not believe that the boss could evade their skills twice in a row again.
“Hahaha! Are you worms enjoying your time on the ground? How about you try playing around in the sky?” After the boss entered the final stage, he acquired new skills again.
Gravity Failure!
Boom! A huge light cover descended from the sky, and all the players, including Jiang Fei, were instantly pulled up into the air.
After losing gravity, Jiang Fei and the others could not fly freely like birds. Instead, they felt like they had fallen into a thick pool of liquid. Although they could float around freely in the sky, their Movement Speed was very low.
“Go to hell, you worms!” At this time, after the boss buffed himself with Impact Barrier, he began to cast Light of Destruction again.
“F*ck!” This time, Jiang Fei was dumbfounded. Due to the effects of Gravity Failure, he was far away from the boss. He could not hit the boss at all. It was not only him, but even his clone could not reach the boss!
“Guild master! What do we do? The boss is now immune to interruptions!” Without Jiang Fei’s attacks, the other players could not break the Impact Barrier, which had two million Health Points in six seconds. Under the protection of the Barrier, the boss was once again immune to the interruption effects. This Light of Destruction could not be stopped!
Taunt!
At the crucial moment, Anew Returner used Taunt and forced the boss to turn around.
Boom! Light of Destruction hit Anew Returner!
Buzz… However, right as Anew Returner cast Taunt, he had also activated the shield skill. Therefore, he managed to block this Light of Destruction.
“Anew Returner, drink Potions to save your own life, we have no more Mana Points to cast big heals on you anymore!” Although Anew Returner had tanked the instant-kill skill for Jiang Fei, he had fallen into a critical state. The Clerics had previously healed everyone, so all their Mana Points had been used up. They could only cast small healings to maintain the party members’ Health points. Even if they wanted to heal the Tanks, they were already unable to do so!
“Hang on for two more seconds! I’ll be there soon!” Jiang Fei shouted and slowly paddled in the sky toward the boss.
However, even though Jiang Fei had high Movement Speed, he could not move quickly as there was no gravity. At this time, he could only slowly swim to the boss like a clumsy novice swimmer.
Boom! Boom! After two consecutive bolts of Lightnings, Anew Returner’s Health Points was almost empty…
“Guild master, I’ve tried my best…” When Anew Returner saw the boss cast the third Lightning, he repeated what the boss’s minions said before they died.
“Whatever, just die already!” Jiang Fei rolled his eyes. Players would not suffer many losses in the Faction Area. They would not lose Experience upon death, and they could also pick their equipment back up. Anew Returner was just being dramatic.
