Chapter 198 - Time for the Opening
Sudden Death King guards! Captain Doofus attacks! Lu Ran and his team had rehearsed this strategy countless times when facing the Diamond Dragon.
It was clear the Empire Faction had no way to breach the defenses of the boss-like Sudden Death King. With better preparation, they might have had a slim chance of survival. However, their poor intelligence gathering and reliance on Fire-type and Light-type weapons had led them into a major trap.
That said, the Empire Faction's beastmasters had one distinct advantage against Lu Ran—sheer numbers.
Although Sudden Death King possessed extraordinary defense, maintaining it continuously drained its energy. The opposing forces only needed to attack relentlessly to wear it down. Left isolated, Sudden Death King wouldn't last long; a sustained barrage of skills could eventually overwhelm it. Among the opposition, even a few Golden Generation members were capable of inflicting damage.
But the Empire Faction faced an even greater challenge—beyond the tank-like Sudden Death King was a fearsome offensive powerhouse.
“Awooo~!”
Captain Doofus, with swordgrass clenched in its mouth, unleashed dozens of Hurricane Sword Qi. Ghostly green light shimmered in the air, striking fear into everyone present.
Sword qi rained down in torrents. The four members of the Knights of Light had no choice but to fully shift their attention to Lu Ran.
With Sudden Death King blocking the front, they couldn't directly harm him. Their only option was to attack from the sides or rear. To facilitate this, the Rock Monarch and over a hundred imperial soldiers held the frontline, absorbing Lu Ran’s firepower.
“Now’s the moment!”
After shattering the Bone Sword’s seal, Captain Doofus reverted to sword control—a less energy-intensive tactic better suited for dispersed and numerous enemies.
