Chapter 457: Fool
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
"F*ck!".
Fearless and Thunderlord cried in unison upon seeing this.
Thunderlord was shocked, he already had the very best equipment, who would have thought that it could only withstand two waves of attacks from lowly LVL 30 monsters?
Fearless, on the other hand, was surprised that a wave of powerful attacks like this only managed to get 50% of his healthbar. What kind of monstrous equipment did he have?
Of course, the better his equipment were, the more excited Fearless got…
"Priest, heal me, quick…" Thunderlord took a step back and shouted to Fearless, but to no avail.
Following the next wave of attacks, Thunderlord's healthbar plummeted again. Just as he was about to get killed, he consumed a bottle of rare potion and his healthbar was restored to 60%.
"Hurry up, what are you waiting for?" Thunderlord shouted urgently.
"My skill's on cooldown…" Fearless shugged.
"F*ck," Thunderlord spat, he was going crazy.
The two bandits were already halfway there, but they still needed about half an hour to get to the end of the valley.
Every wave of attack took 50% of Thunderlord's HP, in a minute, Thunderlord could be killed multiple times.
Even with a powerful potion, without considering the cooldown, the price of one was so astronomical that a squad like Apocalypse could not afford to let him drink it like water.
Another wave of attacks flew over and Thunderlord bit down and raised his shield.
A shield's strength was based on durability, the higher it was, the higher the strength. Thunderlord's shield was at least than 10% durability, and with a wave of attacks, the shield's health was gone. At the same time, the Skeleton Warriors charged forward with their blades.
The startled Thunderlord brandished his two swords once again…
Seeing that Thunderlord could receive this many waves of attacks under such circumstances, the Quan Zhen Sect's members couldn't help but watch.
This man was truly powerful.
Fearless' cooldowns were refreshing soon, he tossed a healing spell on Thunderlord as his health rapidly regenerated…
Even though he was recovering some Hp, the situation looked grim for Thunderlord, Fearless' heal was too weak.
Even though the Priest class was a support class, the amount of skill and mechanics were not incomparable to that of a DPS class.
The Priest's skills were mainly separated into two broad categories- instant healing and continuous healing.
Usually, under such conditions, a continuous healing spell was enough to sustain the damage, instant healing spells were saved for the most dire situations. By using an instant healing spell like this, Fearless was wasting its potential.
Even though Thunderlord was at full health now, the skill was on cooldown, if not for his potions, he would be beyond dead.
Unsurprisingly, after Fearless' skill went on cooldown, Thunderlord's shield could not sustain the damage any longer. The potion was on cooldown as well, and without a healer, no matter how durable the tank was, in the face of such attacks, he was going to struggle.
Nine Solitary Spears had no healers in his squad, they could only watch him struggle alone.
Within four waves, Thunderlord was blasted to a corpse as a 30 second respawn timer appeared above him.
Seeing his death, Crotch Lord immediately raised his shield and stepped forward.
Everyone renewed their buffs onto Crotch Lord, this time, the Quan Zhen Sect's members did not fool around… Crotch Lord pulled the aggro of the Skeletons firmly.
Frost Blade and Darknorth fisher hastened their movements and reached the White Bone Altar upon seeing Thunderlord's death.
At the White Bone Altar, A dark, black heart stood there palpitating. Sensing that the two assassins were nearby, the spectral knights raised their spears and charged towards them.
"I'll lure them, you grab the heart," Darknorth fisher shouted to Frost Blade as he danced with his dagger and took on the four spectral knights.
A lone bandit against four spectral knights, the outcome was clear. Darknorth Fisher blocked the first attack with his dagger, but was sent flying by the subsequent attack.
With the aggro of the four spectral knights on Darknorth Fisher, they chased him upon seeing that he was sent flying, leaving the White Bone Altar defenceless.
Frostblade hurried over and reached out to grab the Heart of Darkness.
After it went into his hands, the Dark energy around it dissipated, as the Skeletons in the valley crumbled and disintegrated.
System Notification: Heart of Darkness successfully obtained…. Dungeon progress +20%, current progress…
At the same time, Thunderlord respawned as he came running from the entrance of the dungeon.
"How was it? Are we holding on?" he shouted.
Fearless turned around and said with a tint of regret, "Oh its you Thunderlord, your respawn timing is unfortunate, we just passed through.".
"…" Thunderlord's expression grew dark upon hearing this piece of news.
In "Rebirth", if a player dies and exits the dungeon, the quest would disappear temporarily. If it was completed by his squad within this period of time, the system would automatically log it as a quest failure when he respawned.
Following the rules of a stereotypical internet game, when such a situation is met, players would get a "revive a teammate" option.
But in "Rebirth", there is no such option. By logic, they should have waited for Thunderlord to respawn before completing the mission, but who knew that the Quan Zhen Sect were such scoundrels?
Thunderlord didn't notice that his dungeon quest had disappeared in his flurry, and he was now enraged by Fearless' words.
After sustaining so much damage to his equipment and burning so many precious potions, this was all that he got- nothing. Everyone around could empathise with his anger.
He was no fool either, he knew that Fearless had planned this from the start.
