“I’ll go and attract the aggro now. Once I gain the aggro, quickly go and distract the other two!”
Li Yi instructed.
“Don’t worry, we got this.”
Sun Conqueror laughed. Hearing this, Li Yi could not wait any longer. He took a step forward and was about to rush over with Deaths Descent when he stopped in his tracks to look at someone.
“Snow Chaser, you don’t have to follow the other healers. You can follow me instead.”
Snow Chaser was stunned for a moment before she obediently walked up to Li Yi.
“That boss’s magic attack is very high. My HP might not be able to fully tank it. You have to heal me once in a while and protect me from afar.”
Li Yi spoke in such a serious manner that it made Snow Chaser nervously grip her staff.
“Yes, I understand.”
Li Yi patted her shoulder. “Don’t be nervous. I believe in you.”
Li Yi had no other choice but to choose Snow Chaser. There was no other way. The other healers had to help the tankers from the other two parties.
Under such circumstances, he could only take Snow Chaser out. She had a lot of healing capacity. An intermediate Healing Spell from her could heal up to 1000 HP. If she used her special skill, she could heal more than 2000 HP.
She also had the Holy Healing skill that could save their lives at critical moments.
After saying that, Snow Chaser no longer hesitated and nodded in affirmation to Li Yi. Then, he raised his sword and charged towards Holy Spirit Commander Robert in the middle. Snow Chaser followed closely behind and casted many supporting spells — Gale Blessing, Warrior Blessing, Defense Blessing, and Health Blessing.
A series of buffs were added to Li Yi’s body. In an instant, his attack became several times fiercer!
“Critical Hit!”
Li Yi took a step forward. The golden black sword aura of Deaths Descent appeared in his hand as he slashed at the Commander’s head!
“-12,031!”
The bosses on the fourth floor were no longer immune to skill damage. However, even though they were no longer immune to that, Critical Hit was a skill that affects the HP of the boss. When comparing Li Yi’s HP and the HP of this Commander, the difference was not that big.
With this attack, it will only be able to attract the aggro of the boss. At the same time, the Heroic Spirit Commander raised the longsword in its hand and blocked an attack that was flying towards it from afar.
“-1,943! Block!”
A figure flashed behind the boss on the right side, it was Li Yi. Then, the figure used Stun and Heavy Strike combined together!
“-300!”
“-6,553! Vital Strike!”
A boss without damage immunity was easy to defeat!
The Heroic Spirit Commander was enraged. With a loud clang, he pulled out his longsword. The blade of the sword shone with cold light, causing one to feel a chill down one’s spine.
Li Yi snorted coldly and activated Charge!
“-24,099! Vital Strike!”
Li Yi rushed to the front of the Commander with Deaths Descent firmly gripped in his hand. It stabbed into the Commander’s chest which caused his blood to uncontrollably spew out.
The Commander let out a miserable cry as was temporarily stunned.
“Lure the other bosses away!”
Li Yi shouted angrily when the token in his heart trembled slightly. Suddenly, flames covered the body of his sword. With a flip of his wrist, he slashed down his sword!
“-9,531! Vital Strike!”
“-500! Burn Damage!”
“-500! Burn Damage!”
“...”
The skill tore apart the Commander’s chest armor. Heat surged in, and the Commander instantly broke free from the stun.
It was obvious that he was a seasoned fighter and was worthy of being a Heroic Spirit. After receiving such an attack of this degree, he forcefully suppressed the pain and quickly retaliated. The longsword in his hand swung through the air, and the sound of the wind whistling could be heard.
The blade of the sword had blue light attached to it, and it mercilessly slashed at Li Yi’s shoulder!
“-34,121! Critical Hit!”
Feeling the intense pain on his shoulder, Li Yi chose to ignore it. However, when he saw the amount of HP that he had lost, he was shocked.
“+2,300!”
“+1,700!”
At this moment, a warm current spread throughout his body. Snow chaser had healed him!
Not long after, the Commander’s attack did not stop. The blade of the sword shone with cold light as it attacked again.
Li Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly. With a dash of his feet, he managed to skillfully dodge the attack!
At the same time, the Combo and Heavy Strike were unleashed!
“-4,931!”
“-6,931! Critical Hit!”
“-5,931!”
The Heroic Spirit Commander was stunned. He turned his neck abruptly and looked at Li Yi — who had already steadied himself — with menacing eyes. Immediately after, a violent aura pervaded the air.
The sky darkened, and the faint sound of thunder rumbling could be heard…
[System Notification: The boss’s HP has dropped below 80%. Activating the skill Thunder Pool!]
“Raging Blood Roar!”
Li Yi immediately activated this move when he heard the system notification. He had saved this move for this moment!
The Thunder Pool was obviously an AOE attack skill. If the Heroic Spirit Commander uses it, everyone present excluding him would die!
“-30,431! Critical Hit!”
A circle of energy rippled out, and the Heroic Spirit Commander got a critical hit. The Heroic Spirit Commander’s HP was instantly reduced by one-fifth on the health bar!
The skill that the Heroic Spirit Commander was about to use was thankfully interrupted!
Using a skill to overlap the boss’s skill was something that players would often do. In the later stages of the game, the bosses would have ridiculously high evasion rates towards crowd control skills. Unless it was a direct lock-on skill, it would be basically a miss!
“If that’s the case, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to kill him by myself.”
There was no damage reduction effect. Therefore, this allowed Li Yi’s HP and skills to give maximum damage output.
[System Notification: The boss has activated Magic Amplification!]
Hearing the system’s notification, Li Yi frowned and glanced at the boss’s HP. He noticed that the health bar had one-third left. With that information in mind, Li Yi suddenly stepped forward and swung out a series of aggressive slashes.
Sparks flew everywhere when metal met metal!
“-3,033!”
“-4,831!”
“-6,666!”
A string of numbers floated up, but the Heroic Spirit Commander did not budge one bit. Its entire body emitted a blue light and it made people’s hearts palpitate as to what might come next.
The blue light swam around the boss like a fish swimming in the sea. In the next moment, a majestic aura stirred up the waves and waves of wind.
The Great Hall shook, and the ground beneath their feet cracked like glass, extending from the ground all the way up to the stone walls.
The two teams that were attacking the other two bosses were shaken, and they could not help but turn their heads to look at the battlefield where Li Yi was.
Clutch King took a look, gritted his teeth, gripped his dagger, and moved his feet to the side to dodge the boss’s swift sword attack. Then, he knocked the boss unconscious and hit him hard on the back of his neck.
“-1,200! Vital Strike!”
“-5,831! Vital Strike!”
“-300! Bleeding Damage!”
“...”
Clutch King’s attacks became increasingly fierce. He wanted to kill the boss as quickly as possible and then go back to support Li Yi.
“Retreat, Carefree Dream!”
Snow Chaser’s beautiful eyes were slightly startled as she cried out anxiously.
The Heroic Spirit Commander repositioned his fighting stance, ready to go again. The Thunder Pool that had been interrupted earlier had been condensed by the boss again. Li Yi was aware of its after-effects, so he dared not to rush headfirst towards the boss right now.
However, while he retreated, the Heroic Spirit Commander had already moved. The terrifying lightning gathered on the blade of the sword. Right as he was about to release it, Snow Chaser shook her staff, and a bright halo appeared. It then turned into a ray of light and shot directly at the Heroic Spirit Commander.
It was a beginner Healing Mage skill — Halo Skill!
The Heroic Spirit Commander’s movement suddenly froze. The skill that had been charged up was interrupted, and he was stunned!
“Well done, Snow Chaser!”
Li Yi was overjoyed. He raised his sword and bravely charged forward. A golden black aura surrounded his entire body as he ran past everyone.
“Horizontal Sword Slash!”
“-13,941! Critical Hit!”
The sound of metal hitting metal rang out in all directions as one of the slashes managed to hit the Commander’s body. The wind picked up as it swirled around ferociously from the impact. In an instant, the armor on the boss was covered with densely packed sword scars!
Under the attack, with a breaking sound, the armor on his body finally could not bear the burden anymore. Numerous ferocious cracks spread out, it looked as though it was on the verge of collapsing!
[System Notification: Warning! Warning! The boss’s HP has been reduced to less than 20%, and the skill Lightning Strike will be used in 30 seconds!]
[29]
[28]
The ear-piercing sound of an alarm rang out, and a red bullet screen flashed past. At that moment, everyone’s hair stood, and a bad feeling welled up in their hearts.
Li Yi’s expression did not change. He turned around, grabbed Snow Chaser by her waist, and directly rushed to the boss that Clutch King was pestering.
He then put Snow Chaser down before attacking again.
“Critical Hit!”
“-64,213!”
Deaths Descent swung, and with a terrifying swing, it chopped off the head of the Heroic Spirit General!
“What the f*ck?! Bro, you’re freaking awesome!”
This move directly stunned Clutch King.
[23]
“Don’t be an *ss. All members, Go support Sun Conqueror and get there as fast as you can! Quick!”
After saying that, Li Yi picked Snow Chaser up and rushed toward the other General Behind him, dozens of people followed him.
The countdown was still ringing as they ran, as though it was counting down the deaths of the players around…
