Nie Yan’s team originally didn’t hold any high hopes, simply because the reputation of a Level 180 Demonified Lord was too frightening . Mentally prepared for death, they were caught off guard by this shimmer of hope . Drakuru was already greatly weakened by his shackles . But after being debuffed by Kalenna, his stats were further reduced by another 35% and his mental attacks were sealed .
After taking two hits in a row, Explosive Counter procced as a whirlwind of power erupted from Lil’ Gold, knocking Drakuru back .
−5,149
“How much health does Drakuru have?”
“I don’t know . There’s no way to see it!”
Everyone glanced at each other in dismay . Since Drakuru’s exact health was hidden, that meant it was over 100,000,000 . As for whether it was just 100,000,000 health or several hundred million health, they had no idea .
They were frightened by Drakuru’s enormous health pool . Just how long would it take them to kill him?
Nevertheless, even with this knowledge, they were still determined to see this battle through to the bitter end .
Paladin Lafus raised his sword and restored Lil’ Gold’s health .
Drakuru didn’t use any skills, only lashing out with his whip, which would occasionally strike Bladelight .
“Mages, attack . Don’t use fire magic!” Nie Yan ordered . Demons were incredibly resistant or even immune against fire damage .
Ice and lightning rained down on Drakuru . BANG! BANG! BANG! A string of damage values ranging between 2,000–3,000 floated up above his head .
Nie Yan and the other Shadow Dancers didn’t dare to get close to Drakuru . That was because a single of his attacks could kill them, and since they were fighting on this five-meter wide bridge, there was simply no space . They could only stay off to the side and rely on the Mages to deal damage .
Since Drakuru’s attack speed wasn’t that high, the tanks at the front weren’t under much pressure . The team worked together like a well-oiled machine .
About one hour later, Drakuru’s health finally fell by one percent .
Nie Yan’s heart trembled . No wonder Drakuru was hardly trying . Their attacks barely tickled him!
“My god! How much health does he have!?”
“It must be at least 300,000,000 . ”
“What an overpowered bastard!”
Everyone felt their moods sink . Though Drakuru’s defense wasn’t unreasonably high, his vitality was . He could stand there and do nothing, and it would still take them 100 hours just to kill him .
“Boss, what do we do? We’ll run out of mana long before that bastard runs out of health . ”
“Let’s keep fighting and weaken him as much as we can!” This was a Level 180 Demonified Lord! Drakuru was simply too powerful, basically an existence on the same level as a demigod . Nie Yan had no idea how they were supposed to defeat him .
The Mages continued firing out their spells like there was no tomorrow .
Drakuru tried to attack the Mages in the back with his whip, but Lil’ Gold blocked him . With no way to get past this massive dragon, he charged at Lil’ Gold, only for the chains binding him to the obelisk to tighten . CLANK! His fist froze in mid-air, unable to move forward even half-an-inch .
The solid chains completely suppressed and prevented Drakuru from moving freely . If he were free to move, this Level 180 Demonified Lord would undoubtedly wipe out everyone here in an instant .
Seven hours later, Drakuru’s health had fallen by six percent . The firepower of the team members was starting to wane .
“Boss, I’m running low on mana!”
“Boss, what do we do? Even if we drink a Specialist Mana Potion, after two or three more rounds, we’ll still be nowhere near to killing Drakuru . ”
Eyes of despair fell on Nie Yan . These team members had never felt so powerless in front of a boss before . No matter what they did, they had no way of killing Drakuru . All their efforts would be in vain if it continued on like this .
“Boss, do we drink the potions?”
“Yeah . If they’re going to go to waste like this, we might as well give up right now . ”
“Drink the potions . Right now isn’t the time to concede defeat . Keep chipping away at his health . Worst comes to worst, I, Sun, and the others will go up,” Nie Yan said . The space up ahead was too cramped . If they went up, they would easily be pushed off the bridge . But surely, an opportunity for them to take action would present itself .
After hearing Nie Yan’s words, the Magisters thought for a moment before drinking their Specialist Mana Potions . Since Nie Yan had given the word, they could only obey .
Unless there was absolutely no hope left, Nie Yan wouldn’t give up so easily .
This was the final fight in the World of Darkness anyway . Nie Yan’s gaze fell on Battle Angel Kalenna floating by his shoulder . She fluttered her wings and feigned complete ignorance to his pleas .
Nie Yan only kept persevering because he had a faint hope in his heart that at the very last moment Battle Angel Kalenna would intervene on his behalf .
Among all the Mages here, Xie Yao and Tang Yao had the most mana . As long as they could still cast magic, they could guarantee that Drakuru’s health wouldn’t go back up . Their damage was enough to mitigate his health recovery speed .
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! A shower of magic arced through the air .
This battle against Drakuru continued on . No one knew when it would finally end, only that if it went on for too long, they’d go deaf from Drakuru’s enraged roars .
At this time, Guo Huai sent Nie Yan a message . The Mona Stronghold in Moonlight City had been attacked by the Blood Reaver Corps . Their casualties reached 3,000, and they nearly lost the stronghold . Thankfully, they activated the stronghold’s barrier in time, and a large number of elite reinforcements came rushing over . However, the enemy likely still hadn’t left . The Mona Stronghold’s defenses had already been bolstered and Black Heaven, Beginner Student, and the others were already rushing over .
「Why did the Blood Reaver Corps attack the Mona Stronghold?」Nie Yan asked in bewilderment .
「I don’t know, probably the same reason as before . They’re slaughtering players from the Righteous Faction to gain Glory,」Guo Huai said . The Blood Reaver Corps had previously exchanged blows with Angel Corps and several other guilds, killing more players than he could count . It wasn’t strange to think they stuck to the same modus operandi in the Viridian Empire as in the Satreen Empire . Asskickers United was a logical target .
「They’ll probably launch another attack . You guys be careful,」Nie Yan warned . The Blood Reaver Corps was merely a small force . If it were 60 Magisters, Archbishops, or other similar caster Master classes, he might be a bit nervous . However, since it was only 60 Silver Wings, there was nothing really to be afraid of . At the very least, they didn’t have Forbidden Magic and as such lacked an easy method of dealing fatal damage to a stronghold .
「They’re dreaming if they think they can take down the Mona Stronghold so easily,」Guo Huai confidently declared . After all, with the defenses bolstered and six Masters and countless elites ready to fight, he had a good reason to be confident .
Nie Yan instructed Guo Huai about a few things to take note of . 「Go online and download videos of all the Blood Reaver Corps’ battles . Have some people go through them and clip anything unique, then share it with our elites . The reason we’re suffering against them isn’t because they’re ridiculously strong, but rather because their battle tactics are bizarre . When they first appeared, no one knew how to guard against them and the losses were to be expected . However, they’ve been on the surface for some time now . We should be able to find enough information on them to make the necessary preparations . 」
. . .
In the plains outside the Mona Stronghold, 60 players were hunting mobs .
“Boss, why didn’t we take down the Mona Stronghold in one shot?” Autumn Gust asked .
“There’s no need for that yet . ” Blood Devil shook his head . His thinking was something Autumn Gust couldn’t comprehend . He checked his private messages, then turned to face the team . “I just received a report . After our probing attack, Nirvana Flame didn’t appear . Only six of their Masters came to the Mona Stronghold . According to their information, Nirvana Flame hasn’t made an appearance since his visit to the Clemenci stronghold . It’s already been close to three months . He’s probably stuck inside a quest instance . ”
“Most of Asskickers United’s Masters aren’t here . This is a good opportunity . We can easily complete our mission . ” Dark Shadow laughed .
“It’s a shame we won’t get to battle Nirvana Flame . ” Blood Devil sighed . “Everyone, get ready . In 20 minutes, we’ll be launching our second attack . ”
At this moment, the Mona Stronghold was gearing up for battle . More than 2,000 Asskickers United elites were gathered here, while the ordinary players had already withdrawn . It was a frightening line-up of six Masters, 600 first-rate players, and 1,400 second-rate players .
Black Heaven, Beginner Student, and 30 other players were attending a meeting in a conference hall . Guo Huai put them in charge of the stronghold’s defenses .
“If those bastards dare to come back, we’ll teach them a painful lesson!” Tyrannical said . So far, 3,000 Asskickers United players had died at their hands . This debt had to be settled .
“The six of us probably aren’t their match,” Black Heaven said . Even in a situation like this, he could keep a cool head .
“Guo Huai told us our only aim is to hold the stronghold, which should be easy enough with its defenses . Without Forbidden Magic, those guys won’t be able to take it down,” Paladin of the Elegy said . He was fairly knowledgeable of the overall situation .
“I say, let them come! Who says we aren’t their match in an all out battle!?”
