âWhat a sinâ¦â
I shook my head, âWe have to save another princessâ spiritâ¦If we kill her, then it would be considered a release. But, killing a magic type BOSS will be hardâ¦â
âHard?â Dong Cheng stuck her full 34Cs out and rebelliously said, âMy basic magic attack is around 5000. Why donât you praise me?â
Stunned I said, âThatâs a Valkyrie Tier BOSS and has hidden stat boosts. Are you a Valkyrie Tier player?â
âHmph!â
â¦â¦
Wan Er asked with a smile, âAlright alright, stop stop. Why donât we talk about how to kill it? Li Xiao Yao, how about you hold off the BOSS and Iâll kill it?â
I thought about it for a second, âWan Er, how about you do that? Iâll just deal damage. Youâre a Moon Elf, and so you have better defense against magic BOSSes. On top of that, your damage would deal enough damage to attract aggro.â
âAlright~â Wan Er cheerfully agreed.
Li Muâs eyes widened, âF*ck, this is the first time Iâve seen an Assassin be the tank. Alright then, why donât I keep my eyes open and watch carefullyâ¦â
âHua!â
Wan Er put away her dagger and pulled out the iron umbrella on her back. She activated [Absolute Step] and rushed straight at the Blaze Demoness. Before she even reached the boss, her dagger glowed [Flying Dagger]. âPa!â it pierced right into the Blaze Demonessâ chest. Right afterwards, she lunged forward and grabbed the returning dagger. She then threw a [Blade of the Death God], and landed three cuts!
â6122!â
â6721!â
â7012!â
It had to be said, Assassin cloth types are just too strong. Especially Wan Er, who had a special class like Hermit God. Just with one attack, she could completely lock the BOSSâs aggro completely on herself. The Blaze Demoness screamed and began to wave her mage staff. Angrily, she activated [Blaze Rush]!
Wan Er moved sideways and threw the dagger behind her. She spun around and gathered momentum. âPeng!â her iron umbrella rammed into the BOSSâs shoulder, but still couldnât interrupt the skill. Thus, the beautiful little miss jerked her shoulder, and opened up her iron umbrella with a âPa!â, which covered up her beautiful figure. The Demoness screeched, and threw a ball of fire right onto the iron umbrella, and dealt 2700 damage. She could still withstand the attack, as Wan Er had 8000 total health. It wasnât going to be that easy to instant kill her.
She raised her right arm, and forced her dagger into the BOSS. When the Demoness raised her staff to cast a fire spell, Wan Er immediately used her umbrella to parry the attack. The rhythm of her defense and attack moves was practically perfect. The battlefield was practically a one man show by Wan Er. If I were to look at the whole population, there werenât that few Moon Elves, however Wan Er is probably the only one that can fight at this level.
âWhat are you waiting for? Attackâ¦â I raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword and smiled, âDid you guys want to just happily wait for experience and items to just fall into your laps? Hurry up and deal some damage. Letâs finish this BOSS in ten minutes!â
âOk!â
The whole team ran forward to attack. There wasnât going to be too much danger anyways. Darling Duck basically used AOE heals for everyone. The Blaze Demoness was surrounded by a fiery shell, and could deal a lot of burn damage to all of us. Using AOE heals was the best.
I crossed my Dragon Reservoir Sword and Cold Iron Sword, and made the Blaze Demoness cry out. How could a Valkyrie Tier BOSS handle that kind of damage? It didnât even take 5 minutes for her health to fall to the bottom. The BOSSâs [Magma Abyss] was enormous though. The attack had a 20 x 20 yard range. On the bright side, all of us close range players could take the damage. Instantly killing us isnât that easy.
âLi Xiao Yao, deal the last attack!â Wan Er raised her umbrella and started to retreat. Her cloak revealed her hypnotizing figure.
I nodded and swung my Dragon Reservoir Sword. I threw a [Combo] and normal attack. With one set, I threw 10 slices. On top of that, I dealt 4 normal attacks. These 14 attacks cut the Demoness into pieces. âHua la laâ she dropped quite a bit of equipment. This time, it was mainly magic type equipment. I picked them up one by one and revealed the stats to everyoneââ
[Grip of the Undead Princess] (Valkyrie Tier) : Cloth Type, Magic Power: +72, Endurance: +72, Strength: +70, Increases magic attack by 12%
[Leg guards of the Undead Princess] (Valkyrie Tier): Cloth Type, Magic Power: +74, Endurance: +71, Agility: +68, Increases heal by 27%
[Princessâ Hairpin] (Valkyrie Tier): Cloth Type, Magic Power: +72, Endurance: +71, Strength: +69, Increases magic attack by 11%
[Blazing Guards] (Valkyrie Tier): Strength +75, Endurance +72, Agility +70, Increases attack by 14%, Increases attack speed by 7%
â¦â¦
âWoahâ¦â Dong Cheng couldnât close her mouth, âJust in one go, we got 4 Valkyrie Tier equipments! Brother Xiao Yaoâs charm and drop rate is really amazing!â
I nodded with a smile, âIt really is a good thing. After going through this Sword Saint Abyss quest, we should aim to switch at least 1-3 equipments per person. This way, [Zhan Long]âs officials will have all the top equipments in Ba Huang City. This way, our top tier strength will show itself, and it encourages the rest of the guild to become stronger as well!â
âSure!â
We began splitting up all the things. The Grip of the Undead Princess went to Dong Cheng, since she was the only one that really needed more magic attack. The leg guards were rolled away to miss Thousand League, since it gave a 27% increase in heal. This was a top tier Healer equipment. The Princessâ Hairpin was also given to Dong Cheng, and made her equipment look even stronger. I decided to not bother her. As for the [Blazing Guard], it was rolled away by Qing Qian. That was good, she also needs to raise her equipment. If the difference between her and Wan Erâs strength was too great, that wouldnât be good either.
Actually, after I thought about it for a while, Wan Er, Qing Qian are both the guildâs top tier Assassins, but they didnât seem to have any conflicts at all. Wan Erâs class was extremely special too. She could practically be used as a heavy armor type. On top of that, Wan Erâs maneuvers and strategy were better than Qing Qianâs. Weâll just let this killing goddess go onto the frontlines to battle. Qing Qian can continue being the number one ambusher.
â¦â¦
I picked up the red crystal that the Blaze Demoness dropped and crushed it. A teleportation circle appeared in front of us. I activated the [Dragonâs Whistle of Thunder and Wind] BUFF again. I raised my sword and took my Flaming Tiger God to rush in. It took us very little time to sweep the map. Of course, it had to be fast, otherwise this entire quest would take 3 - 4 days to finish.
âShua!â
When I entered the third floor of Sword Saint Abyss, I started hearing a âJie Jieâ sound beside me. I looked into the distance, and saw a few scorpions crawling around. They were only a few meters away from me. These scorpions were covered in a black shell and had two horns growing on its head. They looked like big c*ckroaches.
âWuâ¦â
Wan Er followed behind me. She immediately furrowed her eyebrows and hugged my arm, âWu, this monster is really gross. Can I not kill it?â
âYouâll get used to itâ¦â I patted her soft arm, then raised my sword and rushed forward. I laughed and said, âEveryone prepare your area skills. Iâll lure the monsters over. Letâs get some experience!â
Once a group of Lv 93 Thunder Tier Steel Scorpions saw us coming, they began rushing at us. They used their sharp claws to attack, but only dealt around 500 damage. Compared to my 17312 health, it was like a little scratch. I threw a few cuts, and lured nearly 10 of those steel scorpions over. Dong Cheng immediately used her [Magma Abyss] and [Magma Lance] AOE skills. Li Mu released his [Covering Sword Slash], while Qing Qian used her [Grip of the Firefox]. Wolf used his [Ten Way Sword] and Wan Er unleashed [Ice Pick Whirlpool].
Within moments, the brilliant light from the skills all melded together. The scorpions all screeched, while our experience bars rushed up. After clearing out all of those steel scorpions, I glanced at my experience bar and saw that I was already 92% to Lv 88. Looks like Iâll level up to 89 on this floor. The speed at which Iâm leveling up is faster than I thought. After we sweep out the entire floor, and if I donât die leveling up to 92 shouldnât be a problem. If Iâm lucky, I might even reach Lv 94.
Without us noticing, two hours passed by. âShua!â a ray of golden light fell, and I was already Lv 89. I looked at all of the team player levels, and it looked as though they had made up quite a bit of their levelsââ
General Li Mu Level 83
Yue Qing Qian Level 83
Song Han Level 82
Dancing Forest Level 82
General Wang Jian Level 82
â¦â¦
Yup, after sweeping out this new level, Qing Qian and Li Mu will probably get into the top ten in Ba Huang City. However, I couldnât be too optimistic. This was only the third level. I canât even tell how hard the sixth and seventh levels are going to be.
âBrother Xiao Yaoâ¦â Qing Qian yelled out.
âYes? Whatâs wrong Qing Qian?â
She giggled, âI got some really good news. In 20 minutes, the Chinese Server Guild Rankings will refresh. This is the first time it has refreshed in half a month. All of the calculations are happening right after we captured Dragonâs Den, and so, just you wait. [Zhan Long] will probably make it into the top ten guilds. This ranking is really important for us!â
âYup, weâll find out very soonâ¦â
As I killed monsters, I waited for the rankings to refresh. Close to 25 minutes later, I refreshed my page once again. Just what I was waiting for, the new guild rankings!
Chinese Server Guild Rankingsââ
[Legend] Guild Master: Fang Ge Que
[Heroâs Mound] Guild Master: Q-Sword
[Vanguard] Guild Master: Jian Feng Han
[Judgement] Guild Master: Ye Lai
[Zhan Long] Guild Master: Xiao Yao Zi Zai
[House of Prestige] Guild Master: Bai Li Ruo Feng
[Appearance Alliance] Guild Master: Mu Xuan
[Prague] Guild Master: Yan Zhao Warrior
[Emerald Porcelain] Guild Master: Deathâs Contract
[Enemies at the Gate] Guild Master: Misty Cloud
[Moonlit Lake] Guild Master: Gong Zi Ying
[Flying Dragon] Guild Master: Soaring Dragon
[Blood Contract] Guild Master: Han Bei Song
[Dao Jian Xuan] Guild Master: Blade Hero
[Valley of the Gods] Guild Master: Lu Dong Bing
â¦â¦
Just as we thought, [Zhan Long] made it into the top ten. On top of that, we rose all the way to the top 5. We were actually ranked higher than [House of Prestige], [Appearance Alliance], and [Prague] those established guilds. This ranking was truly astonishing!
Li Mu smiled and made a fist, âF*ck, ranked number fifth! Weâre too amazing!â
Wan Er gave a big grin and said, âYup, this ranking really is high. Is it possible that the system administrators are also fans of [Zhan Long]?â
âWho knowsâ¦â
I happily swung my sword and continued killing monsters and said, âLetâs keep up the work. We got this ranking mainly because of the two city battles. [Zhan Long]âs ranking was the result of blood and sweat, and that is something we should be proud of. Afterwards, our main goal will be to recruit more members. As long as we have around the same number of members as [Legend] or [Heroâs Mound], then weâll be able to compete with them!â
âYes!â
