Chapter 739: Secret Weapon


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


In order to prevent the Fluttering Snow Alliance from wreaking havoc, the Iron Alliance and Windcloud Clan had the entire Seventh Demon G.o.d Altar tightly surrounded. However, the moment the Fluttering Snow revealed themselves, they charged at only one direction, and like a sharp blade, they violently pierced through the encampment.


The Great Commander, Pretty Good Mood maintained a calm expression. “Do not change your formation! Continue to maintain it!”


Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was equipped with silver armor, and she spearheaded the siege on Li Yi’s party. For every fist she sent out, there would be at least one player that fell. Behind her were all three branch leaders of the Fluttering Snow Alliance. They were following her lead and charging into the Iron Alliance as well.


The situation was tense, and the left flank had suffered severe casualties. As such, they were no longer able to hold the line.


Pretty Good Mood continued to shout, “Do not panic! Maintain your posts and guard your side properly!”


No matter the direction the Fluttering Snow Alliance came from, the other players must not rush to their allies’ aid. That was the decision that Pretty Good Mood and Li Yi had come to.


Each side was to stay rooted to their spot and observe the situation in silence!


Back on the altar, the Seventh Demon G.o.d was entering a berserk state. Its movements had become swifter, and it entered Stealth sporadically, carrying out sneak attacks.


Aside from the main tanks, no one else in the party could withstand its twin-trident chokehold, not even Li Yi.


Slash—


Nirvana Inaction was unable to move while healing the party. As such, he was instantly executed the moment the Seventh Demon G.o.d brought down its twin tridents.


Tch-tch-tch-tch—


With one of their healers gone, the party’s HP began to decline, dropping to 20% in a blink of an eye. They were now in a precarious position.


Little Elf from the Magical Realm thrust out her piccolo, and a pale blue aura enshrouded Nirvana Inaction’s body. It was the signature revival skill of Sky Vagabonds, Resurrection from Battle.


Nirvana Inaction stood back up with 50% of his health. He then activated Holy Light Illumination and brought the party’s HP back to healthy levels.


Everyone was expendable, everyone but the main tanks and healers, that is!


Li Yi shouted in the Alliance Channel, “Brothers guarding the altar, hold them back for 20 more minutes! Do that and the Seventh Demon G.o.d is ours for the taking!”


“Leave it to us!”


“You got it, Guild Master!”



Since Pretty Good Mood had given the order to not provide a.s.sistance, the players guarding the left flank did not last long. Before long, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut had broken through their line of defense.


After making it through the defensive line, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut charged ahead, making it to the bottom of the altar in no time.


There was only a pitiful number of 4 players standing guard at the bottom of the altar.


They were, Pretty Good Mood, Sister Windcloud Nine, an Orc Priest, and… the Natural Summoner, Chen Yang!


Due to his family issues, Chen Yang had been inactive for quite a while. However, now that they were finally settled, he could play to his heart’s content.


At present, Chen Yang was armed with an Orange Quality Quarterstaff. It was a Legendary Weapon that Li Yi had gifted him, and it was called — G.o.d of Elements!


[G.o.d of Elements (Legendary Quality): Increases INT and WIL by 2500 points. First special effect: Increases the HP of all elemental summon beasts by ten-fold. Second special effect: Owner receives 50% less damage while summon beasts are active.]


With the Orange Quality Quarterstaff in hand, any Natural Summoner would become as tanky as a main tank!


Li Yi had ordered Snickersnee to create three Orange Quality Weapons, a s.h.i.+eld, a staff, and a quarterstaff. At present, Li Yi had not given out any of the weapons, except the Orange Quality Quarterstaff that was gifted to Chen Yang.


“Brothers, throw caution to the wind as you rush the altar! By hook or by crook, we must disrupt their battle!”


Bai Xiaoya’s voice reverberated through the battlefield. Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut raised an eyebrow as she tossed out her Dragnet, intending to capture Pretty Good Mood and the other three.


“Move!”


Pretty Good Mood roared, and the Orc Priest pointed his staff at Sister Windcloud Nine.


“G.o.d’s Protection!”


A ray of Holy Light blasted through the heavens and enveloped Sister Windcloud Nine. It was the Territory Skill of Light Priests, and its effect was to prevent its target from taking any damage for 5 minutes. However, there was also an obvious caveat to the skill, as the protected target would be unable to attack or move during that period of time.


“Swamp King!”


Chen Yang slammed down his quarterstaff, and a lump of mud burst out of the ground, spreading to its surroundings in mere moments and hiding Chen Yang’s figure along with it.


It was then that Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s dazzling net came flying over. It held Pretty Good Mood and the Orc Priest in place and dragged them to her side.


Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut gave each of them a punch, and with that, they slumped over, dead.


Bubble…bubble…bubble…bubble….


The mud continued to spread. However, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut only furrowed her brows at the sight, and she proceeded to dash up the altar.


“Slas.h.!.+ Slas.h.!.+”


An extreme-looking black sword popped into existence and slashed twice, forcing Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut to take a step back.


The secret weapon was not the dumb-looking Sister Windcloud Nine rooted in place. Instead, it was her Tuhr Sacred Sword. Since it was a support tool, it was unaffected by G.o.d’s Protection, and as such, it could freely attack.


The Light Priests’ Territory Skill, G.o.d’s Protection, was an Advanced form of Hand of Protection. However, unlike Hand of Protection, G.o.d’s Protection had stronger effects, and it was much more practical.


Slas.h.!.+ Slas.h.!.+ Slas.h.!.+


The Tuhr Sacred Sword boastfully unleashed Blade Auras onto the Fluttering Snow Alliance, and before long, the Fluttering Snow Alliance had been reduced to heaps of corpses. They were unable to approach the altar at all.


G.o.d’s Protection was not a trash skill. After all, it was the perfect skill for Sister Windcloud Nine. Without it, to put it bluntly, the Tuhr Sacred Sword would be utterly useless.


For this reason, Li Yi and Brother Windcloud Nine had joked about Sister Windcloud Nine being the alliance’s greatest weapon once it was made known that they had a Priest with G.o.d’s Protection in their guild.


The Swamp King’s body covered a wide area. It spanned for over 70 yards, and it had sealed all the paths to the altar.


The Tuhr Sacred Sword had the upper half of the altar secured, and on the lower half, the Swamp King was blocking the road. With these two powerhouses in place, the Fluttering Snow Alliance troops were significantly impeded, and they were forced to wander back and forth.


Many of the Fluttering Snow players unleashed long-ranged attacks at the Swamp King. However, only a small number of them had managed to inflict any damage. The Swamp King’s body might be extremely huge, but it would only take damage if one of its cores was. .h.i.t.


To the east of the altar, Reigning the World and the Legendary Tribe had appeared. They were also launching an a.s.sault on the Iron Alliance’s defensive line.


To the north of the altar, was the a.s.sembled G.o.ds Guild and the Three Major Guild Alliance…


While Li Yi and his crew had their hands full with the Seventh Demon G.o.d, the same could also be said of those below the altar. The players who were guarding the altar had now engaged in battle, and they fought hard to prevent any intruders from making their way up.


Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut slammed her fists onto the ground, and it quaked off a few chunks of the Swamp King’s body. However, even after spamming it five times or so, she was still unable to make it past Chen Yang and Sister Windcloud Nine.


Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut clenched her fists tightly, and the silver armor she wore gradually turned red.


Bai Xiaoya tapped her shoulders and halted Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut from finis.h.i.+ng her move. She then gestured forward, and Drifting Snow rushed out along with Not Gray Wolf.


The Territory Skills possessed by these two were Absolute Invincibility and Immortal Body respectively. Together, they were known as the Immortal Duo.


Bai Xiaoya commented, “Save your trump card until you cross fists with Dark Wing. If you activate it now, our chances of winning would be greatly reduced.”


Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut nodded her head and relaxed her clenched fists. With that, her silver armor gradually returned to its former shade.


Back on the altar, Li Yi and the crew’s battle against the Seventh Demon G.o.d had reached a crescendo. The Seventh Demon G.o.d’s attacks had grown more violent, and its movements left a faint afterimage as it rocketed above the altar.


Brother Windcloud Nine’s movements were slightly delayed, and as such, he was only able to block the Seventh Demon G.o.d when it glided down. On the other hand, Unending Unmatched’s responses were exceptional. Before the Seventh Demon G.o.d had even made its move, Unending Unmatched had already predicted its movements and could intercept it mid-way.


The gap in skill between them was extremely obvious, but since Brother Windcloud Nine possessed G.o.d’s Blessing, he had a way safer time taking hits.


Down below, the Immortal Duo were stuck within the swamp. It was all they could do to raise their hands and flail around…


To the Natural Summoners, the value of the precious summon beast, the Swamp King, came not from its attack prowess, but its potential for crowd control.


As Natural Summoners themselves did not possess any control skills, the only method they could control their targets was by relying upon summoned beasts.


As powerful as Drifting Snow’s Absolute Invincibility or Not Gray Wolf’s Immortal Body was, they were nothing in the face of the Swamp King. The moment they blindly entered its body, they were doomed to be swallowed by the mud.


After observing for some time, Bai Xiaoya ordered, “Long-ranged Cla.s.ses, target the point in the center of the swamp!”


Indeed, Swamp King’s cores were at its center, and even Chen Yang had to admit that Bai Xiaoya had good observational skills.


Li Yi could observe the current situation from above, and he rejoiced while doing so. The Seventh Demon G.o.d was no trouble for him, it was just that the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s disruption had given him quite a headache.


From the looks of things, Chen Yang and Sister Windcloud Nine should have no trouble holding back their enemies.


Li Yi snuck a glance at Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, and he noticed that all the familiar-faced elites were present. Every big shot was there, except the legendary Summoner, The Mountain.


‘Why isn’t The Mountain here?’


Li Yi could not help but wonder.


The results of his bout with The Mountain had left a sour taste in Li Yi’s mouth. While Li Yi had managed to defeat The Mountain by carrying sneak attacks with Keep Going If Alive, his celebration had been cut short when he noticed a seed attached to him which had not exploded. He was just about to hand in the quest to Aragon too…


Had The Mountain chose to detonate the seed then, Li Yi would undoubtedly be the loser of the match.


‘Maybe he couldn’t detonate it?’


The scenario seemed unlikely, as the moment Li Yi tossed the seed onto the ground, it had immediately exploded.


‘That d.a.m.n beast, to think that he did not possess a Territory when he fought me…’


“Has anyone seen an enemy Natural Summoner who carries an Orange Quality Staff? I’m not talking about Tall and Mighty!”


Li Yi shouted in the Alliance Channel. The greatest threat in Li Yi’s opinion was not Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, but rather, the legendary summoner, The Mountain.


“Nope, nada.”


“Nope…”


“I didn’t see anyone like that…”


The Alliance members quickly replied, and none of them had seen him.


‘Maybe he’s absent this time?’


The doubt in Li Yi’s heart could not be vanquished.


After commanding her troops to attack the Swamp King’s core, the Swamp King’s HP dropped much more quickly.


Chen Yang gripped his G.o.d of Elements and increased the Swamp King’s HP by ten-fold while reducing his own damage taken by 50%. However, even with those skills activated, there was only so much he could do under his opponents’ heavy a.s.sault.


Lasting five minutes against an a.s.sault of over a thousand of players were already plenty impressive.


After 5 minutes had gone by, the holy shroud around Sister Windcloud Nine vanished, and she was instantly slain the moment she broke free. With that, the boastful Tuhr Sacred Sword was forcefully dispelled.


Bubble…gurgle…


The Swamp King could no longer hold out as well. Its body began to shrink, and in the end, it vanished without a trace.


The Swamp King was dead, and so was Chen Yang.


Realizing the situation, Bai Xiaoya cried out as she pointed at the altar, “Brothers, charge!”


“CHARGE!”


“F*cking h.e.l.l, let’s go!”


The Fluttering Snow players clamored as they rushed up the altar…
