Chapter 774: 774



Nie Yan returned home and ate dinner with Xie Yao . By the time they finished, the servers were about to reopen .

Nie Yan and Xie Yao entered the game . One after another, with bright flashes of light, the 21 Masters reappeared in Barthe .

“Have any of you thought of a plan?” Nie Yan asked, his gaze landing on the 10 Dark Druids in the distance .

Everyone had a bitter smile on their face . They looked at the others in the hope someone had thought of a method . In this kind of circumstance, what could they possibly come up with?

“Seems like we can only brute-force it . ”

“We don’t have any idea how deep the mana pools of those Dark Druids are . If they can continuously heal each other without limit, we’ll only be wasting our time,” Bladelight said . Brute-forcing it was a last resort method . He faintly knitted his brows . “Is there anything we can do to drain away their mana? That’d make it a lot easier . ”

“Draining mana? What about the Mana Burn spell Priests have?” Tang Yao suggested .

“Casters won’t work . They’re too easily killed . ” Lei Su shook his head .

Druids had powerful crowd control skills . On top of this, after transforming into cheetahs, they gained a stealth ambush ability similar to that of a Thief, which was the bane of casters . Not to mention there were 10 Dark Druids on the opposing side while they only had three Priests in the form of Black Hell, Young Seven, and Painted Muslin . There was no way their Mana Burn spells could drain away all the mana of these Dark Druids .

“Then what are we going to do?”

“What about a Mana Burn Arrow? Those could work . ”

“Mana Burn Arrows are crazy expensive though . Also, they might work on regular casters, but it’s definitely a no-go against a Level 160 Lord . ”

“Bah! This doesn’t work . That doesn’t work . Nothing works!”

Everyone heavily discussed with each other, but no one could come up with a good plan .

“I think my Mana Seal Domain might work,” Dark Requiem said . He was the team’s sole Guardian .

20 pairs of eyes fell on Dark Requiem . He and Street Vulture were recent additions to Asskickers United . They had almost forgotten he was here . Not to mention, none of them were familiar with the skills of a Guardian .

“Mana Seal Domain?” Nie Yan recalled this skill was the most famous Forbidden Magic of Guardians in the previous timeline . It could seal all the mana in the atmosphere in an area with a 500-meter diameter, leaving all casters incapable of casting magic and nullifying all active spells . It had a duration of one hour and a cooldown time of 30 days .

“What kind of skill is that? Share it with us,” Undying Scoundrel said .

Dark Requiem shared the skill information of Mana Seal Domain in chat . After seeing it, everyone was taken aback . What a powerful skill! No wonder it was a Forbidden Magic .

“Mana Seal Domain is pretty useful . It can stop the Dark Druids from healing, but the problem is that it also targets ally magic . If you activate it, we’ll lose the DPS of our Mages . That means we’ll be relying completely on the melee units for damage . ”


“Right, the transformation of druids is also magic . With the Mana Seal Domain active, they can’t transform or cast any support magic,” Young Seven remarked with excitement . Losing access to both these things meant the Druid’s strength would fall by at least 50% .

“Let’s give it a go . I’ll tank two Dark Druids,” Smoke Stub said . As a Master, he was no stranger to taking on Elites and Lords alone . But this would still be his first time facing off against two Level 160 Lords at once .

“I’ll take on two as well,” Lei Su said .

“I can take on three,” Bladelight said . He was a Champion . He had the highest health and defense out of everyone here .

“I can also keep one busy,” Dark Requiem said . He was a Guardian, a jack of all trades wearing a set of plate armour .

Like this, the plan started taking shape . Smoke Stub, Lei Su, Bladelight, and Dark Requiem would tank eight of the 10 Dark Druids . Sun, King of the World, Mistaken Smile, Shadow Killer, One Strike Vow, and Nie Yan would be the main damage dealers .



“I’ll have Lil’ Gold and Paladin Lafus handle the remaining two Dark Druids . Thieves, come here,” Nie Yan said . The six Shadow Dancers gathered together . “We’ll use wolf-pack tactics and take out the Dark Druids one by one . Quick and clean in and out . ”

“Got it!” The Thieves all agreed .

Nie Yan looked up information on the Two-Headed Hellhounds . They possessed powerful magic, even capable of breathing fire . This was precisely why the Dark Druids kept them by their sides . However, with the activation of Mana Seal Domain, even the most powerful magic would be rendered completely moot . Without any non-magic ranged attacks and chained up to the obelisks, they would be rendered useless .

Nie Yan started to understand why Mana Seal Domain was known as the most powerful Forbidden Magic of Guardians . Once it was activated, even a Magister couldn’t activate Forbidden Magic .

“Alright, listen up . We’re about to set out . ” Nie Yan explained the plan .

After everyone got into position, Dark Requiem leaped on top of the roof of a nearby building and started chanting out an incantation . One syllable after another left his mouth . After several sets of syllables, his entire body lit up with a dazzling radiance .

Mana Seal Domain only had a cast time of 70 seconds . This meant that if you saw an enemy Magister casting Forbidden Magic, you had plenty of time to stop them with this spell .

After Mana Seal Domain was activated, Nie Yan and the others could feel the mana in the atmosphere completely stagnate . Even the wind stopped blowing .

“Did it work?”

“How come I can’t tell?”

Tang Yao extended his hand and tried to conjure up a flame . Not even a spark lit up . Concentrating harder, he tried again . But alas, there was no reaction .

“It’s working,” Tang Yao said, gazing at Nie Yan .

“Let’s go!” Nie Yan said . As soon as the words left his mouth, Bladelight, Smoke Stub, Lei Su, and Dark Requiem each headed toward one of the five obelisks in the center of the square .



The restless reactions of the Two-Headed Hellhounds immediately alerted the Dark Druids . Their blood red eyes locked onto Bladelight, Smoke Stub, and the others . They attempted to transform and buff each other, only to discover their magic didn’t work . They then lumbered forward .

Dark Requiem discovered none of the Dark Druids noticed him . He quickly took out a hand bowgun from his sleeve and pulled the trigger, shooting out five bolts into the air .

Put put put! The bolts struck one of the Dark Druids . It let out an enraged roar and immediately charged toward Dark Requiem, who turned and ran away .

「I’ve aggroed one,」Dark Requiem said .

「Bladelight, you handle those three on the left . 」

「Smoke Stub, be careful!」

As five Dark Druids charged over, Smoke Stub bent his body and slid through the gap between them . At the same time, he activated Whirlwind Slash, accurately tagging two of them . After which he immediately fled away .

The two Dark Druids struck chased after Smoke Stub .

The remaining three Dark Druids also wanted to pursue Smoke Stub . However, Bladelight came charging in from the side and rammed into them, immediately attracting their aggro .

As for Lei Su, Lil’ Gold, and Paladin Lafus, they had successfully attracted the aggro of the Dark Druids they’d set their sights on .

「Help Dark Requiem take down that lone Dark Druid first!」Nie Yan said . The six Shadow Dancers immediately disappeared into stealth .

The Dark Druid repeatedly smashed down with his gnarled wooden staff as Dark Requiem evaded left and right . Dark Requeim’s skills were top notch . No matter how the Dark Druid attacked, it couldn’t land a single blow on him . On the other hand, he found openings to retaliate in between attacks .

−12,327
−10,193
−11,438


A string of damage values floated up above the Dark Druid’s head .

「This guy’s defense is way lower than Phantom Princess Ina’s . His health is only 15,000,000 too,」Dark Requiem said . Sure enough, without the ability to transform and cast buffs, these Dark Druids were much weaker than other Level 160 Lords .

Six silhouettes appeared around the lone Dark Druid . They nimbly evaded his attacks .

Nie Yan circled behind the Dark Druid, then shot forward with a Backbreaker .

BANG! The Dark Druid was immobilized . The cripple effect of the Rank 18 Backbreaker was pretty good, lasting for five seconds .

「Keep him CC’d!」Nie Yan checked his skill window . He still had many crowd control skills available . In coordination with the other Thieves, it’d be possible to keep the Dark Druid locked down indefinitely . Such were the crowd control skills of Shadow Dancers .

After the cripple wore off, before the Dark Druid had a chance to make a move, Sun struck him with a ruthless elbow to the spine, incapacitating him again .

A string of damage values floated up above the Dark Druid’s head . Sun, King of the World, and the others were dealing approximately 10,000 each hit, critting for up to 40,000 damage . Nie Yan was the anomaly . His normal attacks were hitting for 30,000 damage and critting for over 300,000!

The Dark Druid was quite frail with only 15,000,000 health . Its health rapidly plummeted . After only 30 or so seconds, it collapsed on the ground .

Nie Yan picked up the Dark Druid’s drops off the ground . A violet crystal among the loot caught his attention .

His heart trembled . An Evolution Crystal!

After such a long time, Nie Yan had finally obtained a second one . Not to mention it was violet coloured, which meant it was of a far higher quality than the one he got before .
