Chapter 416: Chapter 416 - Dance of Blades
Chapter 416 - Dance of Blades
While Shi Feng hunted the Battle Monkey Warchief, the ranged classes of Zero Wing within the gorge began to take action .
Cola and the other MTs had successfully held off the first charge . The healers in the back had also stabilized the fifteen MTs’ HP . The only thing left to do was to clean up the assaulting Battle Monkeys .
Standing in the rear, Blackie had begun to chant an incantation, waving his staff .
After becoming a Tier 1 Cursemancer, Blackie’s damage had increased significantly . At the same time, he had also learned a new Tier 1 skill, Magic Synergy .
[Magic Synergy]
Tier 1
Increases the efficiency of the caster’s spells, improving spell effects by 30% and reducing cast time by 30% for 15 seconds .
The density of elemental mana surrounding Blackie skyrocketed . Blackie then cast Stars of Light .
Due to Magic Synergy’s enhancement, both the effective range and power of Stars of Light had increased by 30% .
In the next moment, a dazzling ball of light descended from the sky . Noticing this, the Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys responded quickly and tried to evade the incoming attack . However, while inside the gorge, other than advancing, their only escape was to retreat backward . Natural rock walls surrounded the Battle Monkeys on both sides, and it was impossible for them to scale these walls . With Cola and the other MTs of Zero Wing creating a shield wall ahead, and their companions blocking their rear, these Battle Monkeys could only watch helplessly as the Stars of Light descended .
They also had no way to block this incoming bombardment . AOE destruction spells attacked from all angles . Unless one had magic immunity, invincibility, or countered with an AOE destruction spell of their own, there was no other way to defend against the attack .
Boom!
The instant the Stars of Light descended, a damage of over -5,000 points appeared above the heads of every Battle Monkey the spell struck . As for the monsters further away from the site of impact, they, too, received damages of over -3,000 points . Despite having increased Attributes due to the Warchief’s Aura, these Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys still lost close to a third of their HP .
However, this was only the beginning . Stars of Light had a duration of 15 seconds, and with each passing second, the spell’s damage would scale up by 10% . After only five seconds, all of the Battle Monkeys within range had turned to ash, leaving behind a plethora of loot .
A large section of the gorge was suddenly empty . Making a rough estimate, over a hundred Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys had died .
“AOE destruction spells are awesome! Though it would be great if their Cooldown times were shorter . ”
Although Cola had seen Blackie cast the spell many times, his heart still trembled with excitement whenever he witnessed this overwhelming destruction .
The scattered loot on the ground and his soaring EXP bar also exhilarated him .
The EXP from Level 22 Elites was originally quite significant . Meanwhile, after the meteorite shower, the EXP from the monsters inside the White Fog Canyon had increased by three to four times . In other words, killing a single monster here was the equivalent of killing three or four monsters of the same level and rank outside of White Fog Canyon .
After Blackie’s Stars of Light ended, Ye Wumian rose from Level 22 to Level 23, his HP breaking past the 5,000 threshold . Everyone else also watched their experience bars increase by a huge chunk . Originally, it would have taken them several hours to gain so much EXP . Now, however, they had only taken around a dozen seconds or so .
Stars of Light truly shone when used in a war . Not only was it massively destructive, but it could also shock enemies .
Take the Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys caught outside the range of Stars of Light for example . Despite having received no damage, they did not barrel forward after Stars of Light ended . They stood there with stunned expressions; their previous fierce momentum had completely vanished .
Unfortunately, AOE destruction spells like Blackie’s Stars of Light were rare . Moreover, these spells possessed long Cooldowns, needing a full half an hour . In a battle, such spells could be used once at most .
“Stop daydreaming! All ranged classes, attack those dazed Battle Monkeys!” Aqua Rose commanded .
Suddenly, spells and arrows bombarded the dazed monsters .
Momentarily, the Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys were at a loss of what to do . They had even forgotten to dodge or use their weapons to fend off the incoming attacks . In the blink of an eye, over a dozen more Battle Monkeys died .
However, one would be sorely mistaken if they thought they could get rid of these Crimson-eyed Battle Monkeys so easily . As soon as these monsters regained themselves, they charged at Cola and the other MTs with even greater madness .
Suddenly, the second battle of attrition had begun .
Although the battle was vicious, compared to Shi Feng’s battle, it paled in comparison .
Shi Feng’s current opponent was the Battle Monkey Warchief, a Level 25 Chieftain that had gone berserk . Inside a Dungeon, the Warchief was definitely worthy of the role of a Boss . Only, its HP was slightly lower than a typical Dungeon Boss .
Shi Feng moved in front of the Battle Monkey Warchief with a flash, blocking its path . He then activated Chop and sent three silvery-gray blades of light slashing at the Warchief’s thin frame, completely sealing off its exit .
“Zhi! Zhi! Zhi!”
The Monkey Warchief suddenly squinted its blood-red eyes as it screeched, releasing an intimidating power . It then took a step back, its right fist punching towards the convergence point of the three blades of light .
Peng!
The three blades of light shattered . The Monkey Warchief then took a step forward and swung its left fist, flames covering the fist as it flew towards Shi Feng’s head .
The whole process had happened in the blink of an eye, and the Battle Monkey Warchief had launched its attack was a lot more accurately and faster than many expert players .
However, the instant the Monkey Warchief’s fist struck Shi Feng’s head, it felt as if it had struck air . Taking a closer look, the Monkey Warchief discovered that had only hit Shi Feng’s afterimage .
Meanwhile, Shi Feng had used Silent Steps and arrived behind the Battle Monkey Warchief . He then used Thunder Flame Explosion .
The Tier 1 Thunder Flame Explosion possessed a brief area suppression effect when cast, slowing all enemies’ movements within a 10*10 yard area .
Moreover, Shi Feng was now a Tier 1 player . Despite being only Level 22, the effect of the attack-type skills he used would not have weakened in the slightest even against the Level 25 Battle Monkey Warchief . Furthermore, Shi Feng also possessed the Golden Stigmata, which allowed him to ignore up to 20 levels of suppression .
Suddenly, the Battle Monkey Warchief’s speed had fallen, having only one-sixth of its original speed . It was no longer capable of blocking or dodging incoming attacks in time .
Boom!
The power of lightning and fire assaulted the Monkey Warchief . However, it had a surprisingly high Defense for such a thin frame . Despite being a Tier 1 Blade Saint, Shi Feng only managed to deal over -3,600 damage to the Monkey Warchief .
Fortunately, Thunder Flame Explosion forced the Monkey Warchief into a Fainted state for six seconds .
Originally, Shi Feng had intended to follow up his victory with hot pursuit, taking the opportunity to damage the Monkey Warchief heavily while it was incapacitated for six seconds . In the end, however, the Battle Monkey Warchief activated Berserker Rage, becoming immune to all control effects and increasing its Strength and speed . It then unsheathed the war saber hanging on its back and brandished it at its adversary . Suddenly, nine blades of light wrapped around Shi Feng .
This was one of the Battle Monkey Warchief’s skills, Dance of Blades .
If struck, even an MT like Cola would die without question . However, Cola possessed a large shield that he could use to defend himself; he would have no problems blocking the majority of the blades of light . Shi Feng, however, did not possess a shield . He only had his two swords .
“Good timing!”
At this moment, Shi Feng could feel impending doom approaching . Yet, he neither defended with his swords, nor did he activate Defensive Blade to save his life . Instead, he activated Purgatory Power and charged at the Monkey Warchief’s Dance of Blades .
Void Steps!
Previously, Shi Feng would have never thought of confronting a berserk Level 25 Battle Monkey Warchief head-on . After all, the Monkey Warchief was terrifying after going berserk . Not only did its speed surpass Tier 1 players, but Tier 1 players also could not block its incredible attacks .
After his match with Soaring Snake, Shi Feng had finally succeeded in learning the advanced footwork Void Steps . However, he had not found a chance to test his footwork again since that match . Meanwhile, the agile Battle Monkey Warchief was the perfect opponent for Shi Feng to practice Void Steps on .
The usefulness of Void Steps wasn’t limited to PvP . It was also effective against monsters .
After the Battle Monkey Warchief swung its saber, it suddenly discovered that Shi Feng had disappeared .
By the time the Monkey Warchief discovered his opponent again, the latter had already appeared beside it, casually walking past . Meanwhile, several bloody gashes appeared on its body .
