Chapter 123 – Proud of the Crowd Family Strikes
Roar!
A Dragon Flame descended, instantly covering all the remaining players from King's World and the Storm Family on the field, including Zhang Yi.
In the next moment, seven or eight white lights flashed from all directions, and more than half of the remaining dozen players were instantly killed. Even King's Glory couldn't withstand the blast of this Dragon Flame and was directly taken out!
Zhang Yi's HP bar above his head dropped sharply, but thanks to the enhancement from his level 25 1-star Undead Set, he narrowly escaped death. Han Yaru, who wasn't instantly killed by Sigura, didn't even have time to care for herself and hurriedly cast a spell to heal Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi frowned slightly.
Although he didn't know who had entered the dungeon, causing its difficulty to suddenly spike, the star-upgraded Sigura still had only 5% HP left. The most urgent task was to quickly take down the Boss!
Thus, Zhang Yi swiftly swung his Undead Staff to launch an attack.
Boom boom boom boom!
With Sigura upgraded to a 2-star quality, its defense had increased significantly, and the damage Zhang Yi could inflict was now halved compared to before!
At this moment, Sigura launched another counterattack, unleashing a wide-range [Dragon Roar] skill, killing everyone on the field!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Four more white lights flashed, and the damage from the 2-star Boss Sigura was unbearable for anyone. The HP that Han Yaru had just restored for Zhang Yi was halved again in an instant, and after casting an [Undead Healing] on Zhang Yi, Han Yaru herself was killed by the Boss, turning into white light and disappearing right in front of Zhang Yi.
In the blink of an eye, only three people were left on the field.
Zhang Yi, King's Return, and a Knight from the Storm Family.
King's Return, with his 3-star [Skeleton King's Armor], was always the tankiest Knight on the field.
At this time, a commotion could be faintly heard from behind, as if a large number of players were rushing towards them.
They didn't seem like players from King's World or the Storm Family. Could they be from the Proud of the Crowd family?
No time to worry about that now, Zhang Yi continued to focus on the Boss.
No matter what, the Boss must be taken down first!
So, Zhang Yi continued to wield his staff, targeting the barely alive Sigura!
However, due to Sigura's increased defense, Zhang Yi's damage was significantly reduced, barely making a dent in Sigura's HP bar.
When the Boss's HP was down to 3%, the group of players from behind had already arrived.
Looking back, there were at least seventy or eighty players, all with a unified red ID prefix: Proud!
It really was the Proud of the Crowd family! And all of them had red names, indicating they had been in a group battle before entering the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, killing quite a few people.
It must have been the players from King's World guarding outside the Dragon Emperor's Tomb who were wiped out.
Zhang Yi was taken aback.
King's Return turned back and was equally shocked to see the Proud of the Crowd family arriving: "Damn! Why are the Proud of the Crowd family here??"
The last remaining Knight from the Storm Family, Storm Iron Knight, hurriedly said, "What do we do? The Boss only has a little HP left!"
"We can't even touch the Boss; staying here is pointless," King's Return gritted his teeth, looking at the rapidly approaching Proud of the Crowd players, and said to Storm Iron Knight, "Leave the Boss to Yinuo Qingcheng, we'll hold them off!"
Storm Iron Knight was bewildered, "Two of us holding off so many of them? Are you joking..."
"We have no choice; we have to hold them off! We can't let those bastards from the Proud of the Crowd family steal the Boss. Even if we die, we must take down the Boss!" King's Return said to Zhang Yi, "The Boss is yours, make sure to take it down!"
With that, King's Return charged fearlessly towards the Proud of the Crowd players with his shield and hammer!
This scene actually moved Zhang Yi. He hadn't expected the people from King's World to have such a selfless side. Why hadn't he noticed this in the previous life?
Seeing King's Return charging forward, Storm Iron Knight hesitated for a moment, then steeled his heart and followed.
Taking this opportunity, Zhang Yi used his positioning to dodge Sigura's attacks while continuously attacking with his ultra-fast attack speed.
Since Zhang Yi was now alone, without a Priest for support or a frontline for protection, if the Boss hit him twice, he would be dead.
Soon, two screams came from behind, followed by two beams of white light shooting into the sky. King's Return and Storm Iron Knight were both taken out.
Nearby, a level 29 Archer from Proud of the Crowd, Proud of the Crowd, picked up a black armor dropped by King's Return and was stunned upon seeing its attributes—
[3-star Skeleton King's Armor] (25)!
"Hahaha, a level 25 3-star armor dropped!" Proud of the Crowd couldn't contain his joy, "Awesome!"
At this moment, a level 29 Warrior from Proud of the Crowd, Proud Divine Sword, pointed at the Boss Sigura ahead and urgently said to Proud of the Crowd, "Brother Xiong, the Boss has only a little HP left!"
"Go! Snatch the Boss!"
With Proud of the Crowd's command, sixty or seventy high-level players from the Proud of the Crowd family rushed towards the Boss with their weapons!
Despite Zhang Yi's efforts to increase his output, Sigura's HP bar was dropping slowly. By the time Proud of the Crowd's players were within range, Sigura still had 2% HP left!
"Kill Yinuo Qingcheng first, then take the Boss. Don't let him get the last hit on the Boss!" Proud of the Crowd ordered.
In the next moment, countless magic balls mixed with arrows rained down on Zhang Yi.
At the critical moment, Zhang Yi quickly used Blink to dodge all the attacks and continued casting Fireball Spell on Sigura.
Boom!
When the Fireball Spell hit Sigura, a sudden, intense dragon roar echoed from above.
Hellfire Dragon Flame!
Whoosh—
Luck triggered the Hellfire Dragon Flame, and scorching flames descended from the sky, sweeping around Zhang Yi, engulfing all the Proud of the Crowd players within a 100-radius!
Those touched by the Hellfire Dragon Flame had a true damage of 1868 points pop up above their heads, followed by a burning damage of 534 points per second. In an instant, dozens of white lights flashed among the Proud of the Crowd family, with more than half of them instantly killed!
"Damn!" Proud of the Crowd gritted his teeth, "Yinuo Qingcheng, you're dead!"
"Brothers, kill him, snatch the Boss!"
The remaining players used potions to recover their HP and continued their assault on Zhang Yi.
Since all the Proud of the Crowd players had red names, Zhang Yi, who had just wiped out over thirty Proud of the Crowd players with one Hellfire Dragon Flame, still had a white ID above his head.
At the same time, with a loud dragon roar, Sigura, engulfed by the Hellfire Dragon Flame, had its HP bar emptied, and its massive body crashed down from the sky.
