Several [−0]s appeared above Ghostly Walker’s head, and he dashed toward Li Yi, swinging his blade twice.
“Pfft! Pfft!”
[−120]
[−150]
The white damage figures appearances above Li Yi’s head. Both Ghostly Walker and Li Yi were taken aback.
That damage was ridiculously low...
Ghostly Walker’s equipment was just too trashy compared to Li Yi’s; they were miles apart. Bear in mind that Li Yi was wearing his HP Set too. If he was wearing his entire Hall of Fame Set, the damage probably would not have reached double digits.
Li Yi released his Chrono Territory and enveloped Ghostly Walker in it.
Ghostly Walker was immune to Genghis’ attacks because he had used the Thief-only Territory Skill, Guaranteed Death.
It was a very rare Territory Skill. Once it was released, the player’s character would become invincible. Only Divine Spells could stop it. Guaranteed Death lasted for different periods of time according to the player’s Territory Power, and could be as short as a few seconds or as long as forever. Nevertheless, no matter how long it lasted, once the user’s Territory Power ran out, they would die instantly.
Guaranteed Death was an assassination skill that allowed the user to drag their target down to hell with them!
The Territory Skill was very powerful, but his ATK was just too weak...
The Mountain, who was still lying on the ground, began to nag again. “My boy, is your ATK over 100 even? Oh goodness, with an ATK like that, how would you dare to ambush this freak? Do you have a death wish?”
Li Yi’s Territory was Rank 12, but Ghostly Walker’s was not even at Level 30. If it came to a showdown of Territories, was it any surprise who would win?
He activated the Chrono Territory and used the acceleration effect, instantly consuming all of Ghostly Walker’s Territory Power. When the Guaranteed Death state ran out, before Li Yi could even attack, Genghis’ bone spur took Ghostly Walker down.
“Poor kid, you should have just stayed down and everything would’ve been alright. See, you even dropped your equipment. Tsk-tsk, it’s Blue Quality Equipment. How rare.” The Mountain was extremely sarcastic. As soon as he saw Ghostly Walker fall, he immediately sneered at him.
The cocky Ghostly Walker fell silent again.
“Your equipment mustn’t have been easy to get. Look at all those different colors! How pretty. Tell me, how long did it take you to get the set?
“Say something, my friend. I want a set like yours for fun...”
No matter what The Mountain said, Ghostly Walker did not say anything back. He did not release his soul either and just lay there on the ground.
Having seen what Ghostly Walker was truly capable of, Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief. Although The Mountain was his enemy, The Mountain had always been a man of his word. If he said he was not going to stir up any trouble, he was going to keep to that. As long as he did not get up, Li Yi did not have to worry about being ambushed from behind.
As for Ghostly Walker... did it make a difference whether he got up or not?
The seven Genghises lost health at about the same rate. The mercenaries were slashing randomly, but Li Yi kept a close tab on their health, making sure that they were dying at the same rate.
After all, when Genghis died, its heart would explode. If he did not kill them all at the same time, they would explode one after the other. Li Yi would be fine, but what about the mercenaries?
In order to prevent any accidents from happening, Li Yi had to keep an eye on the seven Genghises’ HP.
“Crap, craap, you’re doing pretty well! Could it be that I don’t stand a chance? Dark Wing, why don’t we try this? You can die first, then I get a shot. If I can’t beat them, you can resurrect and try again. How’s that sound?”
Since Ghostly Walker ignored The Mountain, the latter began to nag Li Yi’s ear off instead.
“You’ll only try once I die. You gave your word, so you better stick to it.”
Li Yi did one better and made sure The Mountain could not go back on his word.
His retort shut The Mountain up.
Li Yi kept shooting as he ran, making use of the gaps between the Genghises’ attacks. He took off his HP gear and put on his Hall of Fame Set to increase his ATK.
The Genghises lost HP at an even faster rate now.
When the Seven Genghises had less than 30% of their HP left, The Mountain groaned in agony and resurrected on the spot, emulating into a tree and crawling out of the Demon God Halls on his roots.
He did not run fast, but he chose the perfect moment to run. None of the Genghises’ attacks reached him.
The Mountain did not stay to watch, turning into a tree and running back to his own country.
He had given up on the hunt and left the opportunity to Li Yi.
All else aside, if he really did fight Li Yi, there was no telling who would win.
The Mountain left but Ghostly Walker was still lying on the ground. He had probably been there for half an hour now.
A player could only stay in corpse form for half an hour at the most. If they went over this time limit, the system would force the player back to their country.
Just then, Ghostly Walker suddenly spoke. “I’m only here for a quest, so I won’t take your equipment. Will you let me stand?”
Stand? A quest?
Li Yi nodded at Ghostly Walker without even thinking about it. “Of course.”
He had seen what Ghostly Walker could do earlier, so Li Yi was not scared that he would try anything funny.
Forget his set of useless equipment, even if he was wearing a Hall of Fame Set, Li Yi was still sure he could kill him with one hit.
Equipment and Attributes could be a bluff, but Territory Power could not be hidden.
Li Yi’s quick response left Ghostly Walker slightly slow to respond. About a dozen seconds later, he finally said, “Thanks.”
The kid was not tall, and he looked to be only 14 or 15. He was definitely a minor. That was also why The Mountain called him “kid”.
Ghostly Walker stood up on the spot. This was his last chance to resurrect on the spot. If he died again, it did not matter whether he had any Holy Talismans left on him. All that awaited him was a free ticket home.
Ghostly Walker ran all around the map as soon as he got up, and he even downed a Sacred Potion.
Li Yi asked him, “How long have you been playing?”
“Half a year.”
“Then why is your equipment so bad?”
“I made it up here by running quests.”
He had just tried to ambush Li Yi, but once the two of them started chatting, everything seemed to go smoothly. They asked and answered each other perfectly naturally.
Li Yi asked again, “You have to kill Genghis, so I take it you’re doing a Mythical Quest?”
Ghostly Walker stared at Li Yi in shock, almost forgetting to run.
This time, he did not reply. Instead, he kept his head low and continued to run.
He did not have nearly as much health as Li Yi did, so he had to run with all his might in order to avoid the Genghises’ attacks. If he stopped for even a second, he would die for sure.
“This is too dangerous. You should leave for now and I’ll call you back when the boss is about to die.”
Li Yi sent Ghostly Walker a party invitation.
“Thank you...”
Ghostly Walker nodded at Li Yi gratefully and ran out of the Demon God Halls quickly.
As soon as he saw Ghostly Walker leave, Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief.
He wanted Ghostly Walker to leave, not because he was afraid that Ghostly Walker would steal the equipment the boss dropped, but because he wanted to prevent Genghis from using another attack.
When fighting Genghis, players must never jump, or else it would emit a poisonous black fog. Li Yi was worried because Ghostly Walker did not know that, and if he just jumped suddenly, the entire boss battle could come crashing down on them.
Li Yi shouted in the Party Channel. “Kid, stand watch out there. If you see someone coming, tell me immediately.”
“Alright!” Ghostly Walker replied.
“Squeak squeak squeak squeak...”
“Roooaaar—”
Genghis began to summon monsterlings. This was the most dangerous segment.
The seven Genghises had summoned monsterlings at the same time, so the entire Demon God Halls were instantly filled with monsterlings.
Ghostly Walker was still worried, so he ran in to take a look, but when he saw the screen full of monsterlings, he immediately ran out again.
He finally understood why Li Yi asked him to wait outside.
If he had been running around when these monsterlings appeared, he would have died without a doubt.
Li Yi activated his Chrono Territory at full power, freezing all the monsterlings in their tracks. At the same time, he increased his firepower and attacked the seven Genghises even more fiercely.
This process was very difficult because Li Yi did not have much space to run. If it were not for the fact that he could teleport as he pleased within the Chrono Territory, he would have been killed a dozen times over by the monsterlings.
After hanging in there for a tough dozen minutes, the Genghises finally ran out of HP. The entire screen full of monsterlings had also died to Li Yi’s and the Genghises’ indiscriminate attacks. That was when Li Yi called Ghostly Walker in and warned him, “Remember, don’t jump. Just keep running.”
Ghostly Walker chuckled and nodded. “I know.”
“You know?” This time, Li Yi was the one taken aback.
“If I jump, it’ll emit a poisonous gas, right? I’ve known that for a while now. Before you came, I tried this fight several times. Too bad I failed each time.”
“Haha, no wonder you tried to make a deal with me. If I hadn’t agreed to your terms, would you have resurrected and jumped just to mess with me?”
“Yep.” Ghostly Walker was quick with his answer.
Li Yi nodded. If he was Ghostly Walker, he would have done that too.
“True Overlord Arrow!”
The phoenix of flames flew forth and lit the Demon God Halls bright red.
This was the final segment, so Li Yi gave up on controlling the enemies too. Instead, he simply used his strongest skill and tried to burn down the seven bosses’ health as rapidly as he could.
The seven bosses had to die at the same time!
“Ba-thump ba-thump... Ba-thump-thump...”
The seven hearts began to pulse intensely.
“Get out!”
Li Yi yelled at Ghostly Walker, turning around and running out.
As soon as Li Yi ran out, Ghostly Walker followed right behind him. About seven seconds later, Ghostly Walker smiled. “Thanks, my quest is complete.”
System Notification: [Ghostly Walker has left your party...]
Ghostly Walker did not reenter the Demon God Halls. Instead, he took a yellow Return City Stone from his pocket and rubbed it, his character disappearing soon after.
“That’s a Legendary Homecoming Stone that allows you to go home no matter where you are. Kid’s got some decent stuff.”
Li Yi murmured to himself as he walked into the Demon God Halls.
Although some unexpected things happened during the boss battle, the result went just as he expected. Li Yi successfully took down the seven Genghises and completed a challenge that regular players could probably never achieve in their lifetimes.
Inside, the Demon God Halls had been completely flooded with black blood. Li Yi walked to the seven Genghises’ spawn point and bent down, rummaging through the blood before quickly locating what he was looking for.
“Ding!”
[You have obtained a Sealing Sword.]
“Ding!”
[You have obtained a Sealing Sword.]
“Ding!”
[You have obtained a Sealing Sword.]
...
The jingle to indicate that he had received an item rang seven consecutive times!
