Background Introduction: When the dark elves were expelled, they took a branch from the tree of life. After thousands of years, the tree became a life source for the dark elves. Under the guidance of the sixth apostle, the Sanguine Hunter obtained a part of the tree"s power.
After seeing the nature of the Tree of Darkness, one of the members of the crowd went, "This tree is actually a BOSS?! How did you know that Fearless?".
Fearless smiled and explained, "The system would never possibly set such a special background for a BOSS. Plus, the Sanguine Hunter was of the elven tribe, so I just took a guess. I thought this Tree was simply his nest, but who knew that it was a BOSS itself.".
The elven tribe thrived upon nature and took to trees as their homes, this was universal knowledge. From the NPCs of the elven city, Fearless obtained the knowledge that elves were like willing slaves of their trees- the trees were more important that their own lives.
Ming Du said with some suspicion, "So what if we can attack the tree now? Isn"t the Sanguine Hunter still in the forest?".
Fearless laughed and said, "If your house was being invaded, would you sit back and watch?".
Fearless turned to the others and said, "Come and help everyone, I don"t think the Sanguine Hunter would just hide!".
Seeing the importance of this tree, everyone ran over and began attacking it.
Even though there was the Obsidian tag on the Tree of Darkness, it basically had no abilities apart from its high HP…
The Death"s Entanglement ability looked pretty menacing, but in reality, it was just a crowd control skill. It could use the tree"s roots to snare units within 500 radius and root them for 5 seconds, changing their attribute to "nature".
The thing about such crowd control skills was that if one paid attention to his feet, one could easily dodge the root due to the prolonged cast time.
At the first level of the Twilight Temple, the weapons of the ma.s.ses already received an attack buff from the G.o.d of sunset light. Before long, the BOSS" HP had fallen to around 70% of its original health.
"Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+".
Just as the crowd was having their go at the Tree, 3 bright green arrows appeared from the Forest.
From the previous battle, they had already determined that the range of the Sanguine Hunter was at least 30 metres, a range that would deem it as a sniper. In order to defend them from the Sanguine Hunter"s sneak attacks, Crotch Lord and Sanguine Wall had already guarded the rest.
As the three arrows flew over, Crotch Lord reacted immediately- he raised his giant s.h.i.+eld and swerved from side to side.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!".
The three arrows were blocked by the giant s.h.i.+eld as a crisp metallic sound resounded. At that same moment, the s.h.i.+eld"s duration dropped drastically.
In front of a high-level BOSS, low-level equipment was insufficient.
But everything was going according to Fearless" expectations. The Sanguine Hunter was a servant of the tree, seeing that its home was under attack, it had shown itself.
It seemed like w.a.n.g Yu didn"t even need to run up the tree to catch him just now, if they began a.s.saulting the three, he would"ve come down by himself.
After seeing his arrows deflected, the Sanguine Hunter entered stealth and disappeared.
As a Thief and Archer multi-cla.s.s BOSS, stealth was a useful a.s.set.
"Oh? Why was there just one attack? Perhaps this BOSS doesn"t care about the d.a.m.n tree," Crotch Lord said.
Fearless was a little surprised as he frowned, "This doesn"t make sense. Forget it, just remain on the lookout, if you see him, let us know!".
"That works," Crotch Lord and Sanguine Wall nodded, they knew that with their low attack power, they could not contribute much to the a.s.sault on the tree.
After another two rounds of attacks, w.a.n.g Yu suddenly said, "Do you guys realise that this tree seems to be very excited?".
w.a.n.g Yu had the feeling that the speed of the cast time of the Tree of Darkness" skills had increased, but this didn"t represent anything.
Suddenly, the Sanguine Hunter appeared behind Fearless.
"Watch out Fearless!" Vainglory, who was the first one to spot him, shouted.
It was futile, before Vainglory had even finished his sentence, the Sanguine Hunter"s blade had already landed on Fearless" back.
-6243
A number that was enough to kill annihilate a Guardian appeared above Fearless" head.
Fearless" body swayed from side to side, and before he could turn around, he collapsed on the floor.
Boson, who was beside him, immediately swung his giant sword at the Sanguine Hunter, unleas.h.i.+ng his tornado slash.
The Sanguine Hunter raised the dagger in his hand in attempt to block Boson"s tornado slash, but he flew far away.
After landing a distance away, the Sanguine Hunter kept his dagger and entered stealth. At this moment, Boson activated his skill and flashed to the last location of the Sanguine Hunter, initiating a charge.

Two damage numbers floated up as the Sanguine Hunter was knocked off the air.
After his stealth was disrupted, the Sanguine Hunter retreated hastily, fl.u.s.tered.
Boson followed him like his shadow and blocked his path, swinging his long sword four consecutive times.

Blood flowed as the Sanguine Hunter attempted to run in the opposite direction, but before long, Boson s.h.i.+fted positions again.
-1124
The damage numbers floated up as Boson blocked the Sanguine Hunter for the third time.
This was the ancient skill that w.a.n.g Yu had gotten from the hidden dungeons.
The three point slash was a skill that could launch three attacks, allowing the user to blink to different positions, either attacking a single target or up to three targets. It even allowed the user to use other skills in combination during the cast time of the three point slash.
Th most terrifying thing about this skill was that this skill was a targeted ability. Once the target was locked on, even after the target entered stealth, the first strike could locate him. Just like that, the Sanguine Hunter was trapped by Boson"s three point slash.
