Don't Heal The Others

It was dim in the city, like a cloudy day without sunlight, but compared to the Mist of War, where nothing could be seen but darkness, it was much better.

Xiaofeng, who finally got out of the Mist of War, was unexpectedly caught by shock when he saw the city in front of his eyes, he even forgot to add his Health Points.

The city was so splendid with high walls, covering an enormous area, and its pillars were like spines with vivid huge skulls on them. Xiaofeng did not know how big the city was, but he could tell it was much bigger than Tianlong City.

Scenes of wars were engraved on the walls, which were besmeared with dried blood. The entrance of the city was like a giant mouth, making the city look like a huge sleeping beast crouching in the abyss.

“Hey! You"ve completed your story-line mission—Herald of Darkness!”

When Xiaofeng caught the sight of the city, the system reminded him of the completion of the mission, and he could go back to submit the mission now.

The ring of the system prompt brought Xiaofeng back to his senses from the shock of the hugeness of the city. He never expected there would be such a giant city hidden in the Mist of War.

Though Xiaofeng had completed his mission, he was not a man who would back down from adventures. He was curious about what he did not know, just like others. He filled his Health Point bar to full and approached the city, City of Gloom, cautiously.

It was rather quiet and empty outside the city. There was no monster in sight, and the quiet made Xiaofeng shiver.

Soon after, he reached the entrance of the city. The gate was open, and he looked inside but it was so dusky that he could see nothing.

He could not be more cautious as he approached the gate, and he listened carefully but heard nothing. The place was in dead silence and did not offer him any information.

Xiaofeng ground his teeth and decided to take a risk. The moment he was about to enter the dusky mist, a huge power pressed toward him and a vortex appeared above the gate. The next moment, all the mist was gathered into the vortex, which finally turned into a ball, and from inside, a tall figure walked out step by step.

It was the guard of the City of Gloom.

Introduction: A powerful and extremely horrifying dead thing that guards the City of Gloom; it is afraid of divinity and light.

It was a skeleton warrior taller than 10 meters, as towering as a three-story building.

It wore an ancient armor that wrapped around all its body, and only its neck and joints were exposed in the air. Dusky mist was emitted from it continuously, which made it hard for it to be seen clearly.

With a metal mask on its face, its blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Xiaofeng.

Both its appearance and horrifying attribute shocked Xiaofeng and exerted much pressure on him.

It was at the 30th level and could be detected by Xiaofeng"s advanced scouting, and its attribute was really terrifying.

A Faerie BOSS at level 30! Not to mention its long Health Points bar, its attack and defensive power only was invincible and could make people feel helpless when facing it.

Though Xiaofeng"s attribute was very powerful among that of all the gamers, he only had 300 to 400 Health Points. However, this guard had more than 3,000 points of attacking power, 10 times that of Xiaofeng.

As for Xiaofeng"s defensive power, it could best that of all the other gamers, so it was really hard to cause him even one point of forced damage.

Facing such an opponent, Xiaofeng was not scared, and dazzling light flashed in his eyes.

“It"s a Faerie BOSS. Killing it may bring me artifacts!”

Since the service of the Myth was opened for gamers, one of Xiaofeng"s immortal pieces of equipment had ranked first on the list of equipment, and no one could surpa.s.s him. Moreover, the attribute of this immortal equipment had doubled Xiaofeng"s fighting power because it had doubled his ability to survive.

An artifact would only increase one"s power much more.

Xiaofeng got that immortal equipment from killing a Golden BOSS, Golden Skeleton King. If he could kill this Faerie BOSS before the others could, he probably could get some artifacts from it.

His eyes glittering, Xiaofeng felt his heart pounding heavily, and he did not worry about whether he was the guard"s match or not.

Though the guard"s attribute was much more powerful Xiaofeng"s, its attribute was Undead Soul.

That was to say, Xiaofeng could kill the guard easily with holy light.

Unconsciously, Xiaofeng began to drool as if he could see the artifact waving at him!

“An adventurer broke in? There is a strong aura of holy light. It seems that you come from those hypocrites" holy temple.” The guard suddenly spoke and looked down at Xiaofeng from above. Its voice was so cold as if it was coming from a corpse. Of course, the guard was a creature of the dead anyway.

Xiaofeng was shocked at first, but then he realized that a Faerie BOSS had to be intelligent and that he could not take it as a normal monster.

“I really hate the smell of light. It looks that those hypocrites have noticed this place. The Dark Legion should be quicker in their actions.” Seeing that Xiaofeng did not speak, the guard said to itself, “Adventurer from the human group, you should know light will turn into hypocrisy, and only dark can be eternal. If you"d like to join in our legion, you"ll gain great benefits.”

Xiaofeng was dumbfounded at the words and got dizzy. “What"s going on? Is this BOSS trying to sway me?”

“Join your legion?”

“Yes. By then, you"ll possess dark power and a hidden profession that you"ve longed for, and have formidable fighting power,” said the guard as the flames in its eyes glittered brightly.

“Compared to that, I"m more interested in if there will be artifacts after I kill you.”

Possessing a hidden profession might have been attractive to many gamers, and so was joining the Dark Legion.

That was because when a gamer chose a role, he or she could only choose to join the Light Legion, but now, it turned out that they could choose to join another legion, which would attract many gamers, as being the minority always meant looking cool.

However, Xiaofeng was obviously not one of them. First of all, his profession as a Sacred Ritualist made him powerful enough; second, the Xiaobai of the Temple of Light restricted him to make such a choice. Therefore, what the guard said did not attract Xiaofeng at all.

“It seems there is no need to talk with you. You"re just a poor bug, how dare you offend the City of Gloom?”

A suppressing aura swept from the guard. It indeed lived up to its t.i.tle as a Faerie BOSS in that even though Xiaofeng was within its attacking range, it had yet to launch an attack.

“Save your words. Present your artifacts and experience points quickly.”

With no more words, Xiaofeng drew back quickly to stay farther away from the guard because the guard"s attacking power was so formidable that Xiaofeng would be killed if he were to be hit by it. Thus, he could only stay away from the guard and attack it with holy light.

“-24300!”

(Skill of Immortal Strength could reduce the harm one received by 10 percent.)

A huge number immediately flashed over the guard"s head, and with it, the guard howled bitterly.

“Ow! It"s the d.a.m.n holy power! Who are you?”

The guard shouted loudly and chased after Xiaofeng, causing the land to seemingly shake.

Xiaofeng did not answer the question but felt quite happy. “It seems that holy power could harm even a Faerie BOSS. I can kill it in just a few minutes!”

However, the next moment, Xiaofeng was dumbfounded.

“Hey! Affected by the Undead Smell of the guard of the City of Gloom, you"re losing 100 Health Points per second.”

“Hey! The Health Points you"re losing are doubling per second due to your divine attribute.”

Damage texts appeared over Xiaofeng"s head in succession.

“-200!”

“-200!”

…

“Sh*t!”

Xiaofeng was stunned. He had learned of the power of the Undead Smell from Golden Skeleton King, whom he got his immortal equipment, earrings. It was a skill that could decrease an enemy"s Health Points. Maybe because Golden Skeleton King was a monster at a low level, its skill was not that powerful. However, when the guard used this skill, it caused Xiaofeng to lose a hundred Health Points every second.

What was worse, due to Xiaofeng"s divine attribute, the points he lost was doubled.

As a result, before Xiaofeng could react, he had lost almost all his Health Points.

All his Health Points and Mana Points added up to about 700, and he lost all of them within four seconds. He had just used holy light and the cooldown had not pa.s.sed. As for Water for Life and Water for Purification, they could not add enough Health Points for him, which would only help him to hold on for one more second.

“Wait, don"t…”

Xiaofeng cried. He knew he was done this time. The area covered by the Undead Smell was so wide that he could not run out of it. Everything went black as Xiaofeng"s Health Points and Magic Points were cleared to zero.

“Hey! You have no Health Points now, you"ve been killed. Do you choose to revive at the nearest bind?”

Xiaofeng chose “Yes” in the system prompt and appeared at the bind of a town at sunset with a darkened face.

“The Faerie BOSS is indeed tough. I not only failed to kill him and get an artifact but also was killed for the first time, and lost 20 percent of my experience points and an armguard.”

All of this made Xiaofeng upset. Of course, he would not tolerate it but would take revenge to kill the guard. Thinking that he was no match for the guard, Xiaofeng wanted to turn to Captain Bolton for help.

Captain Bolton was a Faerie BOSS at level 30 as well and could compete with the guard of the City of Gloom. With Xiaofeng a.s.sisting him from behind, he could defeat the guard. Moreover, holy light could cause much harm, so it was easy for them to kill the guard. The only problem for Xiaofeng was how to convince Captain Bolton to help him.

From the team panel, Su Tingting knew that Xiaofeng had been killed, and in a few seconds, she appeared beside Xiaofeng through the teleport scroll.

“You were killed? So it"s really impossible to complete this mission, right?”
