Chapter 424
Making complaints now would not do anyone any good . Since the boss was designed to be that way, they could only complain to the designers .
Zhang Yang shouted, "Little brat! Maintain {Destructive Smash} on Rayleigh!"
"Ok!" Wei Yan Er nodded her head vigorously and made sure not to waste any second of the skill’s cool down time .
Now that they had formed a new plan, Cherry’s {Holy Starburst} would heal one boss with 75% reduced healing, one boss with 50% reduced healing, and one boss receiving a full heal . Zhang Yang’s plan would prevent an extra 200,000 HP from being healed . It was a real shame that Zhang Yang’s party did not have one more player who could inflict {Destructive Smash} .
{Destructive Smash} had a cooldown time of 8 seconds, and its effects would last for 10 seconds . In theory, they could inflict all three of the bosses with {Destructive Smash} . However, both of them only had 2 seconds to spare . Furthermore, Dolor the Thief was extremely tough to detect, for he was always in stealth . There was little to no room for them to make the strike . None of these bosses was a good fight!
Rayleigh’s Defenses were too strong, Cherry was always using the area knockback skill, as for Dolor the Thief, he had been sneaking around, and had been stunning players whenever and wherever he wanted to! There was no room for a perfect attack!
Luckily, the party’s attacking power was stronger than Cherry’s healing power . The second {Holy Starburst} had only healed themselves for around 8%, while the team was able to take off 27% of the bosses’ HP . Comparing the damage to the healing ratio, it was nothing to be worried about .
50% . . .
"Foolish mortals! Pray to the Lord, and He shall deliver salvation!" Rayleigh roared to the sky .
Boom!
Rayleigh stomped on the ground with his right leg and created a gold-colored aura beneath his feet . The light glowed brightest from where he stood and faded after 5 meters .
"Hey…I think that’s my {Sanction}!" Endless Starlight cried .
"That can’t be right . The boss is a Guardian . How could he have a Defender’s {Sanction}!" said Lost Dream sarcastically, as he attacked . Right then, Rayleigh struck Endless Starlight with {Brutal Smash}, stunning him for 4 seconds and headed straight to the second aggro rank .
‘-10,000!’
‘-10,000!’
…
As the boss approached the group of melee attackers, the light around the boss had dealt 10,000 basic damage to everyone .
"Sh*t! It’s really {Sacntion}!" They cried in surprised and quickly ran from the vicinity of the boss .
"How could a Guardian have a Defender’s skill?" Fatty Han cocked his head .
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "That’s probably because the boss might be a Defending Guardian!"
"Wut?"
Everyone frowned . They were not sure whether Zhang Yang was joking if he was being serious . Only Wei Yan Er had voiced out and asked, "Is there such a class?"
After being stunned by the boss for 4 seconds, Endless Starlight had taken 4 seconds of {Sanction} damage . Good thing that he was a Defender with a high magic Defense . Out of the 10,000 damage, Endless Starlight had taken close to 5,000 damage instead . Still, he had taken 4 seconds of {Sanction} and had suffered more than 20,000 damage, which did not require any immediately healing .
Rayleigh’s {Sanction} skill was complicated . Occasionally, he would use it once every 10 seconds, forcing the party to move around endlessly, to escape the AoE skill . However, there was a trick in escaping the skill . There is a 1 second delay before the skill could inflict damage on a player . A player must be in the vicinity of the skill to receive the damage and will only continue receiving damage every second for a total of 10 seconds, if they continue to stand in the golden light . Once the light is seen beneath the boss, one could easily jump away to prevent any damage .
Unfortunately for Endless Starlight, who had to tank the boss, under the effects of {Brutal Smash}, would be stunned for 4 seconds, and will take 4 seconds worth of damage from {Sanction} .
Running around like rats being chased by a cat, the party had managed to bring the boss’ HP down to 40% .
"Heretic will be destroyed! Snow storm! Bury the sinners in your snow!" Cherry cried .
White clouds suddenly formed around the battlefield, and had hurled sharp and long icicles! Each of them dealt the same 10,000 basic damage . The problem was worse, the area of effect, was as wide as 10 meters .
"Move away! Move away!"
Before any of them could even see where they were landing, Rayleigh’s was there to attack, with his {Sanction} still active!
"What the f*ck! First, the Warrior has the Knight skill . Now the Priest has a Spellcaster skill! What’s next? The Thief having Hunter’s skill!? F*ck this!" Fatty Han madly yelled .
"D*mn! Don’t jinx it! Stupid pig!"
Unlike a player’s {Hail Storm} which required constant magic channeling . The boss’s {Hail Storm} has only required a 2 seconds cast time of creating clouds above to continue hurling more sharp icicles down the earth, as the caster itself would be free to move around . In this case, Cherry was able to move around to attack and cast {Holy Starburst} .
Everyone, including Zhang Yang himself, had to run around like cats and dogs . Out of the party, Endless Starlight had the short end of the stick . Once he was stunned by the boss, he would be susceptible to both {Sanction} and {Hail Storm} . He would be killed by all the attacks!
Zhang Yang checked the situation and found that he was ranked second, behind Endless Starlight in the aggro list, for Rayleigh . "Starlight! Kite the boss away!"
Previously, Zhang Yang had dragged all three bosses together to inflict enough aggro and to maximize damage dealt by {Horizontal Sweep} and {Tornado Cleave} . However, now that two bosses had revealed a new skill, the strategy to optimize usage of the two AoE skills was no longer worth its toll .
"Got it, boss!" cried Endless Starlight . He then dragged the boss away to the opposite direction . Now that he had kited him away from Cherry, he could reduce the chance of him getting hit by Cherry’s {Hail Storm}, since Cherry had shown the tendency to cast {Hail Storm} on an area with the most concentration of players .
