In the graveyard, the spirits of the fallen members of the three big guilds gathered together, watching their three defeated commanders.
“I can’t accept this.” Fury flashed through Watching the World’s eyes as he spoke. He considered himself a formidable Hunter, but they were beaten mercilessly in the three vs one fight, unable to fight back.
He’d watched Li Yao’s videos; he’d always scoffed at Li Yao’s ‘pinpoint accuracy.’
In reality, he was also an archer and knew that achieving the skill of “shooting a leaf from a hundred paces” was already astounding. Precision like ‘pinpoint accuracy’ was too theoretical, impossible to achieve in reality.
Such videos, he assumed, were premeditated by Li Yao and his team to boost Li Yao’s reputation; a video like that might take hundreds of takes to get right.
However, the strike he’d genuinely suffered moments before left him speechless. Thanks to the lightning attribute, his Paralysis Arrow was much faster than the average arrow.
Still, it was effortlessly caught by their opponent. He might’ve been able to accept it if his opponent had dodged or rolled away, but using a skill that he believed to be entirely impossible… it stirs up his unwillingness, confusion, even his anger. This hit his spirit harder than their failure against Starfire, because he saw no hope in defeating Li Yao.
“I can’t accept it either, but as far as personal strength is concerned, I admit his superiority.” Robert looked grim, but he was calmer, “This guy is so powerful, he truly lives up to his reputation. As a righteous knight, I am not invincible per se, but I have few rivals. But I couldn’t even withstand a single skill from their pet, I am just…”
“Alright, stop praising the enemy. Are you two okay, comparing your skills with his? Although he’s our rival, and we aim to defeat him, we need to acknowledge his strength first. Otherwise, we will make wrong judgments. For example, in this instance, we thought we had overestimated Prairie Fire, but we still underestimated him.”
Cousin Shi was one who knew when to advance and when to retreat. Although he was unwilling to accept their defeat, losing was losing.
“We still have two trump cards in our hand. Do you think we still have a chance?” Watching the World clung onto a glimmer of hope.
“Don’t even think about it. Now they are on high alert. If we resurrect now, we will have less than half health and will be widely scattered, unable to form a formation. You’ve seen Prairie Fire and the one who unleashed a Fire Tornado; they are now on full mana points. If we resurrect now, we would be walking into a death trap; no matter what trump cards we have, it’s useless. Just accept our defeat, let’s resurrect at the graveyard.”
“We have no other choice,” Robert nodded in agreement with Cousin Shi’s judgment.
Noticing the duo’s slight gloominess, Cousin Shi laughed, “Just look at you two! Is this how the leaders of big guilds should act? This is merely a minor setback as we underestimated Prairie Fire. It’s not a significant loss for us. We’ve a long journey ahead.”
He then addressed the guild members in the team channel, “Everyone listen up! Select the option to resurrect at the graveyard. Then use Hearthstone to go back to the city. We will compensate your loss of points. Report anything you lost, as long as it’s verified, the guild will fully replenish them.”
Upon hearing this, the spirits of the players from the three big guilds were slightly lifted.
………
The Starfire Guild players cleaning the battlefield noticed that suddenly all the bodies had turned into dry bones.
“Looks like they chose to resurrect at the graveyard. After being weakened for such a long time, they must have headed back to the city,” Sister Li sighed in relief.
“What a shame, I was hoping to collect some of their equipment,” joked Li Yao, slightly disappointed.
“There’s still one boss left. Time to come up with a strategy,” the Guardian Knight said, looking at the boss’ over ten million health points and feeling a headache coming on.
“With so many people dealing damage, what’s there to be afraid of? I’ll get ready to initiate the boss fight,” Fruit Knight said.
Li Yao nodded and commed to the team, “Everyone, the three big guilds have retreated, we’ve won. Now, it’s not the time to celebrate yet. There’s still a boss to defeat. I’ll break down the task.”
“We will now form into a regular team of twenty-five people each. You’ll scatter around based on your parties, but make sure to leave space for movement. Aside from the tanks and melee fighters I call out, stay in your group. Your only duty is to shield the ranged and healer characters from direct spells,” said Li Yao.
After all, there were so few Naga that the melee fighters could only encircle a handful. In ancient gods, just like many other games, characters could overlap in such situations, so how many melee fighters are available is how many will stand.
Many melee fighters resented their situation in the last life, especially in the open field. They were essentially treated as meat shields, intervening to protect the ranged fighters.
Under Li Yao’s leadership, nearly a thousand players gathered around the Wall of Mist that trapped the boss, each team spread out in different directions.
“Fruit Knight, Guardian Angel, you are to build the first and second aggro. …”
Li Yao quickly called out names. Dealing with this kind of boss, although many melee fighters can’t output any longer, other tactics began to take shape accordingly.
Like this human wall tactic, they used strong tanks to form a wall around the boss, restricting the boss’s movements. It indirectly protected the ranged fighters, reducing the occurrence of accidents.
This human wall tactic was jokingly referred to as the locked true dragon in the Eight Diagram Tactics; it was a dragon trapping formation.
Suddenly, Li Yao had arranged the formation and then dismissed the four Walls of Mist.
To let the tanks build aggro, Li Yao used the passive effect of the Dark Ranger to fade from sight.
“You puny beings, I will annihilate you all!”
The four-armed Naga was on the verge of going insane, having been trapped for so long.
With a Shield of Revenge in hand, Fruit Knight swung it directly at the face of the four-armed Naga with Consecration and Righteous Fury!
Quickly, she built up a significant amount of enmity. After a while, a volley of magical attacks flooded the area.
The four-armed Naga roared in rage. Even though dungeon bosses followed the aggro mechanism, they still have area spells, especially for field bosses.
She occasionally cast area spells in other directions, but Li Yao gave an early warning whenever he noticed her skills, making it easier for the small teams of 25 to scatter. There were casualties, but they were not unacceptable.
Although Li Yao scolded the players who died, he was actually quite satisfied. The Dragon Trapping tactic played a crucial role.
The boss’s movements had been restricted and some of her close-range major skills could not reach the range fighters.
Even though tanks had died several times, it didn’t affect the overall situation. Other tanks would fill in the open spots, and there was still many more tanks eager to take their places.
Under Li Yao’s command, the boss’s health was steadily declining.
“Uncle, you’re really cunning, coming up with such a twisted tactic,” Da Vinci was simultaneously taunting Li Yao and healing the team.
“No harm in being cunning if it helps to kill the boss,” Li Yao laughed, “Everyone keep your guard up. Who knows if there will be anyone so desperate as to try and sneak up on us.”
“Surely there won’t be anyone like that now.” Sister Li frowned.
“I’m just saying, it’s possible,” said Li Yao shrugging, “Maybe there are rogues from the three big guilds. But it doesn’t matter.”
“The retaliation that follows is probably going to be fierce,” remarked Qin Fengyi worriedly.
“That’s for sure, but of course, I won’t sit back and do nothing. If they make me uncomfortable, I’ll make them wish they were dead.” A cold glint flashed in Li Yao’s eyes…
