The players from Dark Recital fled from the Kong King as fast as their legs could carry them .
“Netherluna, how do you think the 13 of them will kill the Kong King . . . ?” Canon asked in a curious tone .
“I don’t know . Let’s observe . I don’t really have high hopes . That’s a Level 180 Lord . If we didn’t use the Sanction Magic Formation, we wouldn’t even have dealt any damage to it!” Netherluna said . She remained skeptical of the strength of Nie Yan’s group .
No one had ever successfully killed a Level 180 Lord to date . Many guilds had tried using all sorts of methods, only to be met with failure .
Netherluna felt Nie Yan’s group was overestimating themselves a bit thinking they could take down a Level 180 Lord .
While Netherluna, Canon, and the other survivors retreated far into the distance, Nie Yan and his group were discussing how to deal with the Kong King in voice chat .
「Boss, what if those guys try to steal the Kong King from us at the last moment?」Lustboy asked . This was an issue that couldn’t be ignored .
「Don’t worry . Apart from our enemies like God Executioner Sword and Angel Corps, no other guilds would dare to kill steal us, unless they’re suicidal,」Bladelight confidently said .
「Bladelight is right . 」Nie Yan nodded . 「I don’t think that woman from Dark Recital would be that slimy anyway . 」
「If they dare to try and steal the boss from us, we’ll slaughter all of them!」Undying Scoundrel exclaimed, brandishing his staff . He was certainly a battle maniac .
At this moment, Sun and King of the World had already taken action . Appearing behind the Kong King, they immobilized it with Concussive Blow, then unleashed a flurry of attacks .
−1,832 −2,144 −1,897 …
Afterwards, the two quickly disappeared back into stealth .
The Kong King immediately aggroed onto Sun and King of the World, losing all interest in the fleeing Dark Recital players .
“GRAWWAH!” The Kong King let out a deafening roar, causing a powerful sound wave to sweep out in all directions .
About 100 meters or so away, Sun and King of the World materialized out of stealth . A damage value of 100 floated up above their heads .
The Kong King immediately charged toward Sun and King of the World .
「Lure the Kong King up that slope!」Nie Yan commanded after scanning the terrain . Although the slope didn't offer much help, it was still better than nothing .
Huge monsters like the Kong King had a 3-5% chance of missing when attacking players from an elevated position like a slope . Even this kind of minor advantage was extremely important when facing a boss . Dark Recital had also previously made use of this same slope when dealing with the Kong King .
Seeing Sun and King of the World dashing towards the slope, Lei Su, Bladelight, and Smoke Stub rushed toward it as well .
The Kong King was hot on Sun and King of the World’s tails . The three soon ran up the slope .
At this moment, Lei Su, Bladelight, and Smoke Stub came charging forward from different directions .
Intercept!
Intercept!
Intercept!
Lei Su, Bladelight, and Smoke Stop executed a three-man pincer on the Kong King .
“GRWOOO!” The Kong King smashed down on Lei Su .
Lei Su leaped back three meters and evaded the attack .
BOOOOM! The Kong King’s fist left a deep depression in the earth .
「Target is in position!」
「Assault!」
Lei Su rushed back in and took the Kong King’s left flank . Meanwhile, Bladelight circled round to the front . Shield Bash! He rammed his shield into its chest, forcing it several steps back only for it to be stopped by Smoke Stub . The three Warriors locked the Kong King down .
“GRWAAAH!” The Kong King slammed down its mallet-like fists on Bladelight .
BOOM! Bladelight’s feet sunk into the ground . A damage value of 30,000 floated up above his head .
Bladelight had 120,000 health . His defense and resistances were also astonishingly high . So, the amount of danger the Kong King posed to him was limited .
Nie Yan didn’t need to give any commands . Young Seven quickly restored Bladelight’s health back to full .
Black Hell waved his staff . A shadow energy fell over the Kong King, causing its movements to turn sluggish .
Tang Yao, Xie Yao, Lustboy, and Undying Scoundrel waved their staffs . A shower of magic rained down on the Kong King, dealing 3,000–5,000 damage each tick, occasionally critting for up to 10,000 .
This kind of damage output left the players from Dark Recital speechless .
“My god . Even with the help of the Sanction Sealing Formation, our Mages only dealt damage in the double digits . These guys are crazy strong!” Canon remarked in shock .
Netherluna let out a deep sigh . “No wonder Asskickers United is so famous . I thought those stories about their top ranked players were exaggerated . ”
Nie Yan summoned Lil’ Gold, Paladin Lafus, and his Shadow Clone . Lafus raised his sword and buffed everyone with his blessings . Lil’ Gold opened his mouth and blasted the Kong King with Dragon Breath .
Nie Yan, his shadow clone, Sun, and King of the World lingered just outside the Kong King’s attack range . From time to time, they dashed in and tagged it with several bleed skills .
The damage output of Nie Yan’s group was astonishing . The Kong King’s health steadily fell .
After killing so many players from Dark Recital a moment ago, the Kong King’s health had recovered back to 92% . Now it fell back down to 79% .
Bladelight repeatedly staggered the Kong King with his Shield Bash, not allowing it to take even half-a-step anywhere . Plus, with two Archbishops supporting him from the rear, he was as immovable as Mt . Tai .
After the Kong King’s health reached the 70% mark, it let out a world-shaking roar . Its eyes turned blood red, and its body swelled in size .
Seeing the Kong King going berserk, the spectating players from Dark Recital all believed Nie Yan’s group was about to suffer a calamity, and the first to fall would be Bladelight .
Bulwark of the War God!
Bladelight’s body also increased in size . Clad in a dazzling radiance, he looked like a golden armoured titan wielding an enormous greatshield .
“What kind of skill is that?” a player from Dark Recital cried out . All of them could feel a heavy pressure bearing down on them .
The Kong King smashed down with its fist .
Having personally experienced the might of the Kong King, the players from Dark Recital already imagined Bladelight’s body sent flying far away . KLAAAAAANG! Bladelight’s body only swayed a little .
A damage value of 20,000 floated up above Bladelight’s head . The damage wasn’t higher than before . In fact, it was 30% lower!
“That tickled!” Bladelight exclaimed . He then rammed his shield into the Kong King’s abdomen .
As the battle went on, the Kong King’s health fell down to the 30% mark . It entered the second phase of its Outrage ability . Its fur shone with an emerald glow while its eyes lit up with a green radiance . It grew even larger in size as its stats rose by another 50% .
“Damn! The boss has a second phase!?”
The players from Dark Recital glanced at each other with looks of shock . Only then did they realize how much of a joke it was for them to think they could take down this Level 180 Lord-class Kong King . They couldn’t even handle the first phase of its Outrage ability, let alone the second phase .
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The Kong King delivered a flurry of blows onto Bladelight, each dealing 50,000–60,000 damage .
With the Kong King’s attack power increasing once more, Bladelight had to fully rely on Young Seven and Black Hell . If the healing didn’t come fast enough, he would be pummelled to death .
Young Seven and Black Hell never stopped healing . The two timed their heals perfectly, never two of them hitting simultaneously . It was delicate work . Cast two heals simultaneously and Bladelight would be vulnerable in the next moment, but they couldn’t wait too long between heals either . This was an extremely fine balance .
Young Seven and Black Hell’s heals came one after another at a steady tempo, leaving the players from Dark Recital dumbstruck .
“Damn, the heals from those two are more effective than the heals from our 30+ Priests combined!” Canon sighed . Their Priests were nowhere near the same level as Young Seven and Black Hell .
Comparison is the thief of joy . Netherluna gazed at her own guildmates . Compared to Nie Yan and the others, she felt an overwhelming sense of inferiority .
Seeing Young Seven and Black Hell somewhat straining to keep up the healing, Nie Yan had Paladin Lafus lend some aid . He also targeted the Kong King with Apocalyptic Extenticion . Five different high rank curses immediately sapped away at its strength, causing its stats to fall by 20% .
“Boss, that curse is pretty effective,” Lustboy said .
“Yeah, hit it with another one!” Undying Scoundrel added .
“What do you take these curses for? You think I can just pull out another just because you said so?” Nie Yan rolled his eyes .
Nie Yan gazed at Battle Angel Kalenna floating beside his shoulder . Even in this critical moment, she showed no signs of taking action . If she was willing to join in, even 10 Kong Kings would have to obediently kneel down before her . He still couldn’t commander her . So, he could only give up for now .
Their teamwork was flawless . The Kong King’s health was steadily falling .
“Everyone, keep going! The Kong King is almost dead!” Smoke Stub shouted .
Tang Yao, Xie Yao, and the other Mages picked up the pace, firing out an endless stream of magic .
Nie Yan circled round behind the Kong King, then slashed away with Zennarde’s Sword, spamming Hell Execution .
Miss! Miss! Miss! . . .
Hell Execution kept failing .
The Kong King’s health fell below 20% . Bladelight, Smoke Stub, and Lei Su also started spamming Execution . Even though the success rate was low, as long as it succeeded, the Kong King would instantly be killed, saving everyone a lot of unnecessary trouble .
Facing a boss also required luck . If you were lucky, you could achieve twice the results with half the effort .
“Damn, it won’t die!” Lei Su raised his greatsword and came down with another Execution .
