Chapter 118 – Bro, hurry up and flush!
---
Whoosh—
Just like the last time Zhang Yi was here, a red light shot out from one of the tombs and then fell back down. Immediately afterward, a strong red wave of light burst forth from the mound of graves.
Fortunately, this time they were prepared. The wave that swept over them was completely blocked by the shields of six high-level knight players from King's World and the Storm Family, successfully protecting their teammates in the rear.
The wave that had once instantly killed Zhang Yi now only took away an eighth of the knights' health!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In the backline, Han Yaru, along with three other priest players, quickly cast spells to restore the health of their frontline teammates!
The next moment, from the two tombs ahead, red light flew out from the one on the left, transforming into a warrior clad in fully enclosed blood-red armor and helmet, wielding a flaming longsword, exuding an impressive aura, and standing in front of the light curtain.
Above the red-armored warrior's head was a line of red ID—
[Dragon Blood Swordsman, Guardian of the Dragon Emperor] (Physical Type · Lord Monster)!
The sudden appearance of a level 30 lord monster left King's Glory and Storm Angel in shock.
"So this is what you meant by asking us to help you clear the map, to kill this lord monster?" Storm Angel asked as soon as he finished speaking. Zhang Yi, who had already started casting spells in the backline, replied, "Not entirely. After we kill it, I need your help to get through the hidden dungeon behind it."
Hidden dungeon!
The players from King's World and the Storm Family looked at the white light curtain behind the Dragon Blood Swordsman, their mouths agape in surprise.
"Brother Cheng, is that a hidden dungeon?!"
As King's Glory was utterly shocked, Zhang Yi said, "Its attack power is high. Rearline mages and archers, don't get hit. Watch your positioning, and healers, keep the heals coming."
"It's coming, attack!"
With a light command from Zhang Yi, he watched as the Dragon Blood Swordsman, wielding the flaming longsword, charged towards them. He immediately swung his Undead Staff, casting a [Freeze Spell] to predict the Dragon Blood Swordsman's movement, aiming it about three body lengths ahead.
"Crack!"
The Freeze Spell successfully hit the Dragon Blood Swordsman, causing the first damage to appear above its head—
-984!
However, it did not trigger the freezing effect, only slowing the Dragon Blood Swordsman by 30% for three seconds.
Seeing Zhang Yi already in action, King's Glory and the others didn't hesitate and coordinated with Zhang Yi to attack the Dragon Blood Swordsman.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Six warriors brandished longswords, greatswords, or axes, coordinating with three knights in the formation to approach the Dragon Blood Swordsman, while three knights stayed behind to protect the rear, preventing any sudden enemy skills from breaking through.
This is the difference in awareness between professional players and solo players. In a normal player team, not only would they neglect the rear, but everyone would just charge blindly forward.
Meanwhile, eight archers and mages within effective attack range in the backline launched their ranged attacks.
Boom, boom, boom!
Fireballs mixed with arrows rained down on the Dragon Blood Swordsman, causing damage to explode above its head—
-421!
-375!
-547!
-880 Critical Hit!
Compared to Zhang Yi, their damage was much lower, but only in comparison to Zhang Yi.
After the City of Energy dungeon ended, the overall strength of players from King's World and the Storm Family had greatly improved thanks to the high-level 2-star equipment exchanged with energy points.
With the power of numbers, their concentrated attacks quickly reduced the Dragon Blood Swordsman's health by 4000!
The Dragon Blood Swordsman, with over 50,000 total health, had its health bar noticeably reduced.
At this moment, the warriors and knights closed in, launching a close-range assault on the Dragon Blood Swordsman, while the assassins accelerated from both sides to sneak around the back for a surprise attack.
Compared to mages and archers, the warriors and knights dealt slightly less damage, only inflicting two to three hundred damage on the Dragon Blood Swordsman.
Only the level 28 assassin King's Supreme, wielding the enhanced level 25 3-star Skeleton King's Battle Ring, posed a significant threat to the Dragon Blood Swordsman.
Sneaking behind the Dragon Blood Swordsman, King's Supreme executed a backstab, unleashing a damage higher than Zhang Yi's—
-1102 Critical Hit!
"Insignificant humans!" Roared the Dragon Blood Swordsman, under the concentrated assault of the players. "You dare trespass the Dragon Emperor's Tomb? I won't let you near Lord Sigula!"
As soon as the words fell, the Dragon Blood Swordsman raised its longsword high and plunged it into the ground, releasing a strong blood-red sword aura that pushed back all surrounding players, causing damage between 500-800 points above their heads!
Simultaneously, under the effect of the [Vampiric] talent, the Dragon Blood Swordsman's health rapidly recovered, with numbers in the hundreds popping up above its head, quickly restoring much of its lost health.
Following this, the Dragon Blood Swordsman launched a Charge Slash, dashing towards an assassin player from King's World in the backline, slicing the unprepared assassin to the ground with two swift strikes—
-786! 197!
-825! 206!
By the time the priest's Healing Spell was completed, it was too late.
Whoosh—
A white light flashed, instant kill!
"Damn!" King's Supreme, standing next to the slain assassin, couldn't help but exclaim, "Good thing it wasn't me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Dragon Blood Swordsman turned its gaze towards King's Supreme.
Boom, boom, boom!
With the 55% attack speed bonus from the Undead Set, Zhang Yi used Blink to teleport into effective attack range, quickly casting [Chain Lightning] in combination with [Fireball Spell] and a basic attack, causing high damage to explode on the Dragon Blood Swordsman—
-2024 Critical Hit!
-870!
-1364 Critical Hit!
Three cumulative attacks totaling 4000 damage left the players from King's World and the Storm Family stunned.
"Wow! Is he a mage or an assassin? Beastmasters having such high damage is one thing, but such a high critical rate too!"
The Dragon Blood Swordsman's aggro was successfully drawn to Zhang Yi, abandoning its pursuit of King's Supreme and charging towards Zhang Yi.
Knight King's Return and Warrior Storm Dragon King quickly intercepted, preventing the Dragon Blood Swordsman from getting close to Zhang Yi.
At this moment, King's Glory glanced at Storm Angel beside him, "Brother Shi, it's time to shine, charge!"
Storm Angel shot a glare at King's Glory, "Why don't you charge?"
"Fine, just don't say I stole your glory later. Brother Cheng said whoever contributes the most gets the Undead Set!"
With that, King's Glory fired an arrow at the Dragon Blood Swordsman in the frontline—
-99!
