MMORPG: The Elementalist

How big was Silentdeath Jungle"s area? No one knew! In this world, there were no detailed maps as there were no satellites or helicopters that were capable of aerial photography. Hence, a player could only vaguely guess based on the coordinates.

On top of that, due to the abnormalities of the Mythical Battlefield, no player in their right minds would go on a long adventure, spending lots of energy and wasting time in exploring this small area of the Mythical Battlefield.

Anyone who had been here knew that Silentdeath Jungle was huge and dangerous. It was full of Malevolent Archdemons, Darkshadow Archdemons, and some shadow creatures that were hard to deal with.

So when Qin Ruo activated Aquamorph as he followed the source of the uproar into the depths of the jungle, the scene presented before him put him in a state of bewilderment!

A group of more than fifty red-tagged players(players from a Demon Faction party were systematically divided into three groups. They surrounded a three-meter-tall Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon whose whole body was s.h.i.+ning with a silvery white metallic l.u.s.ter.

Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon, a Level 47 Elite Boss!

Good grief!

When he just arrived at the periphery of the battlefield, Qin Ruo could feel strong waves of magic hit him!

There were seven burly men 1 that were fully equipped with Gold Equipment while holding giant s.h.i.+elds, desperately propped around the Boss. As they stood firm against the Boss attacks, they s.h.i.+fted their formation constantly while roaring at the top of their lungs to order the Priests located a distance away to cast AoE healing on them…

It was an Elite Boss whose strength was close to the pinnacle of Tier 4! No regular melee cla.s.s player would dare to confront it. As for the long-ranged Cla.s.ses that were responsible for damage output, only a few Bowmasters would not dare to enter the effective attack range. This was because there was a chance of them being instant-killed if they entered this range to charge their skills.

On the other hand, the Elementalists were relatively safer. Not only did they activate their double Tier 4 defensive magic to ensure that they would not die after one or two hits, but they could also instantly enter the effective attack range at the moment when the magic attacks were charged and ready to cast!

Even so, the Elementalists were still frequently attacked by the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon who was trapped and roaring angrily on the spot. After all, it was a dark creature of high intelligence that mutated after evolving to a Boss. Therefore, the increase in its wisdom was proportionate, to the level of a “demon”.

This creature was attacked by the Demon Faction party several times. However, it could not rush out of the circle formed by the Beastblood Berserkers who were holding s.h.i.+elds. Hence, it switched its target to focus on the Elementalists" frequent attacks.

Its bright silver wand was lifted high!

It let out a loud and strange howl which led to several little black imps appearing on top of the seven Beastblood Berserkers" heads, giggling in a peculiar manner. Without hesitation, they stabbed their dark-element pitchforks into the Berserkers" heads.

At this moment, the same fate befell more than ten Elementalists within thirty meters who were casting their magic—their outer Barriers were broken.

At the same time, the inner Tier 4 defensive spells such as the Fire s.h.i.+eld, Darkfrost s.h.i.+eld, and Thunders.h.i.+eld emerged on the surface of these Elementalists" bodies which exploded with a loud bang!

Extremely shocked, these Elementalists quickly retreated several meters back. Next, they reactivated the double defensive spells again since without the protection of the Barrier, their safety was not guaranteed in front of the Boss.

The seven Beastblood Berserkers were also not in a safe zone. Although their HP did not drop much under the little dark imps" attack, the Radiant Priests" various buffs vanished when the tiny pitchforks struck…

The scene that Qin Ruo caught sight of made him feel awestruck…

s.h.i.+eldbreaker!

After evolving, this Darkshadow Archdemon actually got the s.h.i.+eldbreaker ability which was an AoE skill!

d.a.m.n it!

Just one spell from the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon, caused a slight uproar among the Demon Faction"s player party all of a sudden. The utterances of the Beastblood Berserkers switched from “Attack it further!”, “Focus fire!”, and “Surround it!” to “F*ck! Buff me quickly!” and “My HP depleted too fast!”

Not only were the Beastblood Berserkers panic-stricken, but the firepower of more than thirty Elementalists in the periphery were also reduced to half. These few magic spells failed to deal significant damage to the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon.

However, it was fortunate that even if they were in Berserk mode, the Beastblood Berserkers were able to continuously consume potions and withstand the perilous attacks of the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon.

It was just that the firepower from the periphery was capped…

After nearly ten seconds, more than ten Elementalists who had been affected by the s.h.i.+eldbreaker returned back to their initial position and began casting their spells!

Taking advantage of this moment, Qin Ruo quietly walked around the periphery and calculated the nearby sentry in detail. There were seventy-six people in total—which made it a large-scale party!

“Little Ruo? What is the situation in front?” Slayer"s Heart asked in the party channel, as he did not get any messages from Qin Ruo for a long time.

As soon as he asked that, Qin Ruo returned.

Qin Ruo explained the situation, which made everyone"s stomachs churn.

A large-scale party of more than seventy people was very rare on the Mythical Battlefield, especially for the Demon Faction. Fortunately, the other party was fighting with the Boss. If Qin Ruo"s team encountered them directly, it would a catastrophe…

“How can there be a large Demon Faction"s party? They"re too bold. If anyone on our side finds and surrounds them, they wouldn"t know what hit them!”

Dinosaurcerer was not that strong, but he had some detailed understanding of the Mythical Battlefield, and he knew that the large-scale team did not have any advantages at the Mythical Battlefield.

Not only were they less agile compared to a ten-man team, but also due to the many Cla.s.ses in their party, they moved pretty slowly and could not farm Honor Points at a faster rate. That was because the enemy faction players would run away if they see such a huge team. Thus, experienced players and clans would generally not send such large teams into the Mythical Battlefield.

“This is not entirely true. Under special circ.u.mstances, many clans would also send a large team to enter the Mythical Battlefield,” Slayer"s Heart explained, “If you activate a difficult party quest from an NPC or want to annihilate a high-level boss, a big team is necessary.

When he finished his words, Brother Da muttered doubtfully, “Still, it"s Silentdeath Jungle, an area close to Angel Faction, yet they dare to attempt this Boss? Have they gone mad?”

“If I"m right, our current position should be the center of the Mythical Battlefield… Or we may be very close to the Demon Faction"s border city.”

Violet Orchid"s words struck them, reminding them that they had gone deep into Silentdeath Jungle for a long time. Who knows where their exact position was right now. So it was highly possible that they ventured deeper!

“So what"s our plan?”

Violetmoon Devilite gazed at Violet Orchid and Slayer"s Heart, before her eyes fell on Qin Ruo.

“Run. Besides that, are there any options? On one hand there are a total of seventy-six people from the Demon Faction, On the other, there is a pinnacle Tier 4 Elite Boss. Gos.h.!.+ Let"s just go back and sleep. I need to work tomorrow. If the manager sees Little Qin"s and my eyes, he might chide me for leading Ruoruo astray.”

“Ugh… Don"t call me Ruoruo…”

Qin Ruo"s protest was dismissed by most of them. Only the Violetmoon Devilite and Gold Digger Babe narrowed their eyes and smiled.

“Little Qin, what do you think?”

Dinosaurcerer agreed to Brother Da"s proposal to return to the city, which was seconded by Gold Digger Babe. The five, including Slayer"s Heart then turn to Qin Ruo, expecting some sort of a conclusion from him. In a way, it made all of them feel awkward.

It was very obvious!

Slayer"s Heart and the other four people seemed to have given up the intention to return back to the city immediately. It seemed that they wanted to stay. Nonetheless… The other party was not the small-scale fifteen-men Demon Faction"s party that they met before. This time, they were five times the previous enemy"s number! Brother Da stared at Qin Ruo in astonishment, and then looked at Slayer"s Heart and others, feeling very speechless. “Do they still intend to ambush the large-scale party of the Demon Faction with their weak force of only ten people?!”

Qin Ruo did not expect that Slayer"s Heart would ask him this question. After watching the formation of the Demon Faction"s party and the strength of the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon"s AoE s.h.i.+eldbreaker, he only had one thought in mind, ‘If I go to bed now, I will not have panda eyes tomorrow!"

However, when Slayer"s Heart asked him, Qin Ruo immediately understood the meaning of the words of the five people…

‘Urgh!

‘Very good! Very strong!"

He quickly pondered in spite of himself, by coming up with a few ideas for ambush attacks and diversions. Then he rapidly concluded…

All of a sudden!

Qin Ruo"s eyebrows were raised as he blinked several times. He then gazed at the Demon Faction party and said, “It seems that… Our chances are at zero!”
