Chapter 415: Tough Battle

“Holy Light Winged Armor!”

In the nick of time, Lin Jie called out Holy Light Winged Armor and dodged the long spear before quickly retreating. Although the movement of the long spear seemed random, there was a rule to it. It would only move forward. Strictly speaking, if one followed the direction of the spear, they would not receive any damage.

However, the movement speed of the long spear was random. It could suddenly speed up or slow down. The moment one lost focus, they might end up getting hit and suffer.

Baili Changcheng ran with all his might. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain at his buttocks from the long spear. Terrified, he immediately cast Ice Armor. He relied on that 1 second of invincibility to dodge the attack.

Lost Camel had it the worst. As a Beast King Hunter, he had to control his pet at the same time. With his focus split into two, he would occasionally receive a hit from the long spear. Luckily, a Beast King Hunter was under a protective contract. Once the master’s health dropped below a certain level, his pets would automatically move to protect him. Otherwise, Lost Camel would have died in the hands of the long spear.

In comparison, Zheng Ziliang had it much easier. Other than a series of strengthening skills and summoning beasts, every other skills of a Contract Summoner were protective. The Mechanical Gargoyle could fly as well and had small chances of receiving attack. His DPS immediately spiked up, and he rose to second place.

The first place was Lin Jie! He had Holy Light Winged Armor’s effect along with Feather Drop, Hunter’s Forward Charge, and Wild Charge to maneuver around the long spear, leaving it far behind in the dust. While the other members were busy dodging the long spear and unable to attack, his DPS did not waver, and he continued to deal heavy damage.

In the second stage, the Boss would always maintain his long spear attacks either until his health points dropped below 20,000 or more than 20 players were dead. Lin Jie’s requirement for his team members was “to not die”. As for the damage output, he alone was enough.

Lin Jie dodged the attacks left and right, just like a monkey. Watching him, the others were in awe. The two guild leaders at the side praised, “The difference in strength between us is too great. Only a beast like him is capable enough to be the boss of Savage Blade. Too powerful.”

In the second stage, Zheng Ziliang dealt a total of 30,000 damage while Lin Jie dealt 160,000. The rest of the members ensured their own survival and somehow managed to deal more than 10,000 damage together in total.

“Knighthood won’t be tainted by you so easily!” The Boss cried out in fury as he entered the third stage. He stabbed his long spear into the ground, causing the ground to break. The spearhead flew out of the ground like a bamboo shoot and pierced their leg. The damage from the spearhead was lower than 1,500 points. However, it caused the target’s speed to reduce by 70%. Once the spearhead dealt a Critical Hit, the target would be rooted to that spot.

Lin Jie was prepared and had commanded the team to split. They dealt damage as they moved around, allowing them to reduce over half of the damage received. This would prevent them from being killed instantly. The spearhead focused its damage on one point, so once the target dodged it, they would not be killed instantly.

In the fourth stage, the Boss would switch to dealing AOE attacks. Each hit would deal a total of 12,000 damage to his enemies in a 5×5 yards radius, which could even instakill main tanks. The method to counter this attack was easy, all they had to do was to disperse. As if they were trained soldiers, they split into 5-man teams immediately to share the damage. Once they were hit by the Boss, they would heal themselves instantly. With that, they successfully passed that stage.

“Huff… huff…”

The Boss’ health had dropped to 40,000 points, and he was out of breath. Suddenly, he went crazy and clawed viciously at the Savage Horse’s brain with his right hand. The Savage Horse’s eyes glowed as it let out a sound that resembled that of a human. “Die, humans!”

The fifth stage could only be triggered if the Boss was riding on the mount, which was exclusively for Hero-Level. Mona entered an invincible state and controlled the Savage Horse to battle. On top of that, the Savage Horse gained additional skills: Blazing Dash, Fire Jet, and Flame Fury.

Dong— Dong— Dong—

The Savage Horse’s speed increased by one fold. Whenever it dashed, it would leave behind a trail of flames. In the sea of flames, the Savage Horse would recover 3,000 health points every second while the players would receive 3,000 damage every second.

“Ice Control, 10 Miles Frozen!” Baili Changcheng yelled and used the ice control skill he had displayed in the Mesosaprobic Shrine.

The surroundings turned cold, and the water vapor in the air condensed into snowflakes! The sea of flames on the ground slowly lost its heat and extinguished. Because of his skill, Baili Changcheng was frozen in the spot as well.

The Savage Horse kicked forward furiously, but The Heavenly Shield blocked it with all his might. His health fell drastically to the last hundred points!

“Power Word Shield, Speed Healing! Heavenly, retreat!” Bu Yi cried out.

The Heavenly Shield also took out a high-grade health potion and downed it in one gulp. His health recovered back to 2,000+. He raised his shield and retreated immediately.

Boom—

-2,019!

The Heavenly Shield’s body flew and landed on the ground pathetically. The Savage Horse’s eyes glowed, and it opened its mouth to spit out fire. In an instant, the ground was covered in a sea of flames. The Heavenly Shield could not react in time and was killed instantly!

The main tank was dead!

Everybody’s heart sank.

Fire Jet caused the entire area to be covered in flames. Whoever stepped into this area would be burnt for 30 seconds. This was an utterly disgusting skill. Once someone touched it, they would not be able to escape even if they survived. They would have to endure 1,500+ fire damage every second. Once they moved, the flames would follow them and burn the ground, which would restrict their teammates’ movements.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The surroundings turned into a fiery hell in an instant. The raging flames trapped everybody and sealed their escape route. Immediately after, the Savage Horse let out a roar, Flame Fury!

Boom! Boom!

There were countless fire explosions, shooting flares in all directions.

“Everybody dodge. Those who are hit by the flares remain in your spot and wait to be healed. Don’t move even if you die,” shouted Lin Jie. He twisted his body and dodged five flares. He reached out his hand and used Death Grip to pull Bu Yi away. In the next second, the spot that she was standing on burst into flames as countless flares landed there.

“Thank you,” said Bu Yi and hurriedly healed the rest of the team. The flares from Flame Fury were too overwhelming. It was three times harder to dodge than the long spear in stage three! Furthermore, these flares could not be hit. Once touched by weapons, they would be set on fire as well.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Netherblue and Red Dust did not manage to dodge in time and were engulfed by the flames. Their health dropped, and they quickly stopped in their tracks to drink health potions.

Bang!

Inksnow was hit as well, and the pressure to heal increased! The health of Mixed Breathless and Inksnow was decreasing at high speed. Bu Yi waved her wands and put in all her effort to cast Power Word Shield on everybody. Then, she focused all the healing spells on the main tanks. “Sister Netherblue, Red Dust, you two hang in there for a while and try to attack. I can’t save you guys.”

There was a limit to her healing. Now that everybody was in receiving damage, her only choice was to look after the main tanks!

Netherblue and Red Dust understood that they might as well use up their last trace of energy to deal damage before dying to the flames. What a terrible fight!

Lin Jie observed the Boss’ health and roared, “Ziliang, Baili, guard me.”

The two of them were shocked. They knew that Lin Jie was about to use his most powerful moves and immediately reacted. They rushed to Lin Jie’s side and cleared all obstructions.

“Sea King Scaly Armor! Death Rage! Blood Power! Heart of Enrage!” Light blue scales appeared on Lin Jie’s body, and he released an overpowering aura. The muscles on his body grew larger, and he let out a beast-like roar.

“Ang——”

With his dragon roar, Dragon Armor Removal descended from the sky!

The huge and powerful dragon tore through the Savage Horse’s skin and reduced its Defense to zero. Immediately after, the cloud that was dyed red from the flames split, and a large supreme golden blade came crashing down. It had an intimidating and powerful aura as it sliced and killed the Savage Horse! The surrounding flames immediately extinguished.

Clomaros’ Kill!

-200,012! (Critical Hit)

Inksnow gasped in shock. This was ridiculous! He killed a Boss with 20,000 health points instantly. With a leader like this, which Boss could fight against them? Even if it was a Boss in Enraged Mode, it would be killed instantly in one move, right?

Dumb Fox was scared speechless. His body trembled as he watched the Boss’ health drop to nothing. He was shocked and filled with disbelief. The same look could be seen on Ghost Eyes and Heaven Plume’s faces.

“Fox, heard you wanted to create your own Savage Blade? Hmm, you should find a leader like this first.” Heaven Plume laughed.

Lin Jie’s final move had convinced them fully. In The New Age, who would be able to guard against this attack or even deal one of this caliber?

“The more powerful Lone Wolf is, the more confident we are. If those greedy people waiting to destroy Brotherhood saw this, they would shatter their teeth from grinding too hard. Let’s hurry and attack, I don’t want to be killed.” Ghost Eyes was greatly impacted by Lin Jie. He drew out his longbow, and a whirlwind spun around the arrowhead. He sent the arrow flying with a whizz as if he were shooting out a metal rod.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Jie, who had unleashed all his power, was just like a human-shaped beast. He was now holding his blade high up with both hands. He gathered all energy in his Broken Blade and even shattered the air! His attack was extraordinary!

Cut!

-5,374!

Army Obliteration!

-10,292!

-5,392!

-10,485!

-10,975!

Ssss—

The Savage Horse’s body crumbled onto the ground. Its head was decapitated by Lin Jie!

The fifth stage, cleared!

To Lin Jie’s surprise, the head of the horse slowly turned into a mount icon—a mount was dropped!
