Nie Yan and Xie Yao appeared on the stone bridge in the volcano alongside the rest of the team . The moment they entered the game, their battle with Drakuru continued .
Bladelight rushed over and attracted Drakuru’s attention .
Drakuru’s health hadn’t recovered . This was because the servers came to a full pause when they were offline .
Nie Yan quickly summoned Lil’ Gold . With a loud roar, the golden dragon charged toward Drakuru .
Drakuru immediately aggroed onto Lil’ Gold . The damage Lil’ Gold dealt to him, mostly thanks to Explosive Counter, was higher than that of Bladelight .
The two titans clashed as the stone bridge shook violently .
Nie Yan then summoned Paladin Lafus, who immediately started supporting Lil’ Gold .
With the aggro secured, the Mages in the backline also started attacking Drakuru without worry .
They spread out over the bridge and continued dealing damage . Nie Yan took out his Dullahan Crossbow and shot out several volleys of bolts . However, he almost dealt negative damage . Drakuru’s resistance to piercing damage was too high .
Nie Yan thought for a moment before entering stealth . He snuck around to Drakuru’s side, plunged down with Zennarde’s Sword, and then ran the blade across his flesh .
−3,369 −2,961 −3,764 …
Drakuru stomped down with his feet . Nie Yan hurriedly rolled out of the way . BOOOM! Feeling no little bug squashed beneath his feet, he stomped down again .
Nie Yan frantically weaved between Drakuru’s feet before finally getting out . Panting, he looked haggard and miserable .
This was the result every time Nie Yan tried to approach Drakuru, to say nothing of the other Thieves . When Drakuru stomped down onto Bladelight, he could push back with his shield . However, they didn’t have that kind of strength .
Drakuru’s health was slowly falling, but it was almost unnoticeable, only dropping by a small sliver .
This was the first time Nie Yan and the others had encountered a boss with so much health .
Nie Yan pulled open Paladin Lafus’ skill window to try and find something useful . There were 100 skills altogether, quite a dazzling sight . The stronger Nie Yan grew, so too would Lafus . At certain levels, he would also acquire brand new skills, many of which Nie Yan had never seen or heard of before .
After skimming through the list, Nie Yan’s eyes landed on a skill called Demon Bane Formation . It was a formation that reduced the health recovery speed of all demonic creatures within a 50-meter radius .
To activate it, Nie Yan needed 10 Radiant Scrolls, three Silverbright Stones, and five Radiant Stone .
“Any of you guys got Radiant Scrolls, Silverbright Stones, and Radiant Stones?” Nie Yan asked . These materials were mainly used by Paladins, Priests, and Holy Mages to cast certain spells .
“I have three Radiant Scrolls and two Silverbright Stones,” Young Seven said after glancing at his bag .
“I have nine Radiant Stones,” Xie Yao said .
. . .
With everyone pitching in, Nie Yan gathered all the required materials . Following the skill’s description, Nie Yan found an open space about five meters away from Drakuru and set up the formation . Paladin Lafus walked over and activated it, after which the formation released a brilliant radiance which slowly enveloped everything within a 50-meter radius .
Drakuru let out a furious roar . He wanted to charge forward and destroy the formation . However, he couldn’t even take one step before the chains binding him to the obelisk went taut, leaving him unable to move even half an inch further .
After the formation was activated, Nie Yan and the others could clearly see that Drakuru’s health was falling much faster than before . A portion of their damage was freed up and no longer used to mitigate his health recovery .
At this speed, Nie Yan and the others could shave away 1 . 5% of Drakuru’s health every hour . Even though this was still slow, it was much better than before .
Seeing that the formation was effective, Nie Yan immediately continued searching through Paladin Lafus’ list of skills . He eventually found three more formations that could greatly reduce the stats of Drakuru . After gathering the required materials from Xie Yao and the others, he set them up .
Debuffing formations were useless to most players, simply because they attracted too much aggro . If a boss were to discover such a formation in its vicinity, it would make it a priority to destroy the formation first . Add on the fact they were a pain in the ass to set up, and it explained why very few players used them to deal with bosses . However, in this situation, they were incredibly effective .
Drakuru was bound by chains . All they had to do was to set up the formations out of its reach, and there was nothing he could do .
Nie Yan and company continued chipping away at Drakuru’s health . After an entire day, they brought his health down to 62% .
Even though it still went painfully slow, they at least saw a trace of hope . With Drakuru’s health steadily going down, perhaps they really did stand a chance to kill him! If they did, who knew what kind of loot he would drop . One had to know, this was a Level 180 Demonified Lord!
Apart from Drakuru’s drops, Nie Yan would also obtain the legendary Assassin’s Heart . This would surely be an incredible boon for his growth .
“Boss, I’m out of Specialist Potions . I only have a dozen or so Advanced Mana Potions left,” Undying Scoundrel said after looking in his bag .
“Same here,” Summer Bug said .
“I’m almost out as well,” Lustboy added .
Their mana potion usage was extremely high . Even though they were doing their best to use them sparingly, they still eventually ran out . Normally, these kinds of mana potions would only be used in case of an emergency . No one would use them so willy nilly . They’d brought with them enough mana potions to last them up to two months, yet now they were all out within two days .
Aside from Tang Yao and Xie Yao, all other casters were running on empty .
“I still have nine Specialist Mana Potions on me . You guys can use them,” Tang Yao said . He passed them over to Undying Scoundrel, Summer Bug, and Lustboy .
“I still have eight Specialist and six Advanced Mana Potions,” Xie Yao said .
There was no point in Tang Yao and Xie Yao saving these potions .
