CHAPTER 257: CHAPTER 238: SIEGE OF THE BOSS

"When darkness covers the earth, it will be the day of the Hundred Races’ extinction."

Under the Ice Palace, Jonard coldly laughed, stood from his chair, and waved his hand:

With a "bang~" sound

The crystal glass in his hand flew off and shattered in the corner.

The blood-red liquid flowed from the cup, glaringly vivid against the pristine ice.

...

With the concerted efforts of the top teams from the major guilds, the last "Ice and Snow Manipulator" let out a final wail and collapsed at the steps in front of Jonard, scattering materials and equipment everywhere.

After clearing up the last minor foe, the leading teams of the major guilds surrounded Jonard closely under the Ice Palace.

The final battle is about to erupt!

Among these teams, the top ten guilds in the Hua Country District were prominently present, making this a rare and lavish spectacle.

Besides these guild teams, Tian Ci and others formed a team of their own, blending in among them.

With Lin Yi not participating, the command of the team fell into the hands of Shi Yu.

Because the key was with Lin Yi, everyone unanimously decided that Lin Yi should not participate in this battle as a precaution.

If Lin Yi were to die here and the key were to drop, then all the effort so far would be in vain.

To ensure Lin Yi’s safety, even though he was surrounded by three layers of elite guild members,

there were also about forty to fifty thousand independent players and small guild members present.

The rest of the players mostly went about their own business.

From everyone’s perspective, the outcome seemed as good as decided, and hanging around would just be a waste of time.

After all, Shengshi Drunkard promised to livestream later, and they could watch the forum then.

It is also worth noting that Jade Qilin and Wang Zixin stayed by Lin Yi’s side.

The appearance of Jade Qilin stirred a new wave of massive excitement and shock.

However, with the Elf Dragon already seen, the presence of Jade Qilin did not lead to irrational actions.

On the game forum, though, photos and discussion threads about Jade Qilin were springing up like mushrooms after the rain.

Through the discussion about Jade Qilin, the topic of the Battle Pet System also emerged, becoming a popular topic.

Speaking of battle pets, during this time, Lin Yi checked the Pet Egg of the Golden Behemoth.

With less than seven hours left, Lin Yi’s battle pet (Golden Behemoth) was on the verge of hatching.

This was something Lin Yi was slightly anticipating.

On the small hill, snowflakes continued to fall from the sky.

The crowd, gazing through the hazy snow at Drunkard and the others below, murmured softly:

"Do you think they can defeat this BOSS?"

Keep in mind that Shengshi Drunkard and the others are only at level 20 or so!

The highest might just be this level 30 mage "Shuaidiaozha," right?

Even so, Shuaidiaozha hadn’t undergone the Third Transformation as a mage.

A group of players in their twenties facing a level 40 Boss, under normal circumstances, this was an almost impossible challenge.

However, with the nearly all top-tier combat power of the Hua Country District gathered here, the odds were still fifty-fifty.

Their only advantage now seemed to be numbers.

The square was filled with nearly a thousand players from more than a dozen guilds.

To win, the only chance lies in relying on a human wave strategy.

As long as they can deal damage, no matter how mighty the Boss, it will eventually be worn down by endless attacks.

However, by that time, the casualties would be immeasurable.

When it came to fighting Bosses, major guilds were certainly seasoned veterans.

Looking at Jonard on the steps not far away, Shengshi Drunkard, with a serious expression, made the final pre-battle mobilization:

"Once it starts, we’ll stick to the initial plan, everyone get ready!"

Faced with a super Boss that far surpassed everyone’s level, no one dared to be careless.

Zhang Xinying had already applied buffs to Tian Ci and the others, making those around envious.

Subsequently, the Elf Priests from various guilds instantly filled the square’s surroundings with totems, looking equally impressive.

After a while, as Jonard slowly descended the steps, Luoshen Demon Fiend and Shi Yu almost simultaneously said:

"Stable Uncle, go!"

"Xiao Yi, go!"

Stable as a mountain instantly stepped forward, swinging his shield towards Jonard and activating the skill:

"Powerful Strike!"

"-18"

Luoshen Xiao Yi also activated a skill at the same time as Stable as a Mountain appeared:

"Charge!"

"-11"

The two charged at Jonard from left and right, shields crashing into him fiercely.

Jonard’s clean, refined face showed a hint of a mocking smile.

Receiving the attacks from both, Jonard merely let out a dismissive snort, without showing any apparent reaction.

Stable as a Mountain and Luoshen Xiao Yi seemed to have suffered severe blows, as they were shockingly sent flying back.

"-2983"

"+1180"

"-3639"

Two enormous damage numbers floated up from above their heads.

At the moment Stable as a Mountain was on the brink of death, Zhang Xinying pulled him back to a one-third health, saving his life.

Unfortunately, Luoshen Xiao Yi wasn’t as lucky and was directly killed.

This scene made everyone around gasp in shock.

"What terrifying damage!"

"This Luoshen Little Yi is one of the elite shield warriors in the Luoshen Guild, yet he was instantly killed, how frightening!"

Everyone knew the huge difference between the two sides from the beginning.

But reality gave everyone a harsh blow.

However, the next scene slightly eased the hearts that were hanging up.

Because just when Jonard counterattacked, hundreds of ranged attacks from various guilds hit Jonard almost simultaneously:

"-101" Critical Hit~

"-59"

"-116" Critical Hit~

"-32"

"-121" Critical Hit~

...

Numerous damages floated densely above Jonard’s head.

Although each damage didn’t seem high, this wave alone took away nearly 20,000 of Jonard’s health, which is considered quite substantial.

At least, this wouldn’t make people feel hopeless.

Jonard, who was under attack, suddenly exclaimed with a hideous expression:

"Blood, I smell blood."

A terrifying energy suddenly erupted from Jonard’s body.

The robe on him rustled loudly in this energy.

Suddenly, someone shouted:

"Next group, go up, others continue attacking."

Five or six shield warriors emerged from the crowd, raising their shields and charging towards Jonard without hesitation, all activating their skills.

Meanwhile, everyone else immediately scattered in all directions, while streams of magic attacks continuously targeted Jonard.

But at this moment, Jonard suddenly transformed into a wisp of black smoke, disappearing from the shield warriors’ encirclement.

Everyone’s hearts were shocked: Where is the Boss?

Then screams came from behind:

"The Boss is here, quick!"

"Get away, everyone quickly get away."

Everyone reacted and turned to look.

Right at this moment, Jonard suddenly appeared among a group of mages, and several mages didn’t even have time to react before they were instantly killed and sent back to the city.

Seeing Jonard’s pervertedly smiling face, Shengshi Drunkard hurriedly shouted:

"Nearest shield warrior, go up and draw aggro, quick!"

"Priests, save people, all mages fall back and spread out, don’t bunch up!"

Looking at the chaotic mage team, Silence quickly said to Handsome and the others behind:

"Everyone fall back, I’ll handle this, Rabbit, watch my back."

"Understood!"

Zhang Xinying quickly retreated, her beautiful eyes nervously watching Silence’s movements.

Zhan Chen hastily reminded from the side:

"Be careful."

At this moment, Silence already dashed towards the fierce-looking Jonard with a shield, crashing into him hard:

"Shield Strike!"

"-14"

System: Passive triggered, target stunned for 1s.

Jonard was instantly stunned in place, and at this moment someone shouted:

"Retreat quickly!"

"Other shield warriors, quickly get in there and hold the aggro."

"Everyone else keep attacking, watch your output, don’t steal aggro."

The mage shooters who retreated to the safe zone all activated their skills:

"Flame Roar!"

"Ice Arrow!"

"Triple Shot!"

"Long Rainbow Piercing the Sun!"

"Earth Spike!"

...

One skill after another bombarded Jonard incessantly, with explosions echoing non-stop.

Then, suddenly a dragon’s roar came from the sky.

The Elf Dragon flew out from a rift in the sky, spewing a scorching dragon flame that struck Jonard.

"Boom!"

"-812"

A massive damage floated above Jonard’s head, drawing cheers from the surroundings.

Shengshi Drunkard and others couldn’t help but sigh upon seeing this:

"Monster!"

Just after summoning the Elf Dragon, Lin Yi felt an inexplicable tightening in his heart, his expression changing dramatically: "Not good!"
