Li Yao saw the progress bar and hurriedly said, “Treat this as a life value. Once it reaches a hundred percent, it will die. So, as time goes by the progress bar increases, and it will also increase when hit by Dream Ghost. So, you just need to do two things. Bring out your explosive output and kill the Dream Ghost as soon as possible to escape this space.”
“Alright, besides the freakish Prairie Fire, let’s see who gets out of this Dream Space first,” Sky Wide Ocean Sky added.
“Bring it on, I’m not scared of you.” Dumb-moe Pupils was full of fighting spirit.
Li Yao shook his head; they were oversimplifying things. This Dream Ghost, even though it didn’t have a mana drain effect.
Its extremely high armor and resistance significantly reduced every profession’s output. Although the skills of the Dream Ghost didn’t cause any significant damage, they would continuously attack, and with each hit, the progress bar would increase a bit.
In the past, the reason they were stuck was this Dream Space. If their output wasn’t enough or if they couldn’t dodge, they would die directly in the Dream Space, reducing their numbers.
However, it was precisely this Dream Space that made Li Yao confident they could pass it in one go, as he challenged their output.
Thump, Thump, Thump …
Three Arrow Towers were immediately set up by Li Yao, and the Fire Hawk also launched an aggressive attack on the Dream Ghost.
Meanwhile, Li Yao continuously shot rapidly. His output was even higher than a pure output squad, reaching a terrifying level.
Every second, three arrows, Li Yao’s skill attacks, and the attack of the Fire Hawk were unleashed, making the damage numbers blink and jump.
The Dream Ghost let out a roar and started attacking. However, Li Yao simply stood still and didn’t dodge at all.
Only ten or so seconds passed, and Li Yao’s Dark Corrosion was only at 20%, but the Dream Space had already shattered.
Li Yao appeared in the original hall. At this moment, Andariel’s figure had significantly changed. Her body had lengthened considerably, and she no longer looked like a woman at all, completely transforming into a demon.
She raised her six arms as spheres from the spirit space floated around her, continuously rotating.
Following the rotation of the dream space, due to her transformation, her health had recovered significantly, and as the spirit space bubbles kept rotating, her life was still increasing.
Another difficulty was if one was trapped in the spirit space for a long time. Not to mention causing casualties, even if that didn’t happen, and due to being trapped inside, the boss’s health was recovering, causing an infinite loop.
Crackle, crackle, crackle…
Three Arrow Towers fell next to him with the shattering of the Dream Space, and the Fire Hawk also swooped over and started attacking with Li Yao.
Feather Fire Scattershot, Fire Breath, Arrow Rain, Rapid Shooting, Scatter… Scatter… Scatter… Scatter…
Batches of Flaming Feathers covered the boss and all the Dream Spaces, causing damage to all of them.
Being able to attack the Dream Space from outside was equivalent to attacking the Dream Ghost inside, which was a form of assistance to the teammates. Feather Fire, Breath, Arrow Rain, and every barrage went crazy in this area, covering it completely.
“Big Brother is so awesome and domineering,” exclaimed Dumb-moe Pupils in the team voice chat.
“You freak, no wonder you said we could pass it in one go.” Sky Wide Ocean Sky roared excitedly, also ignoring the skills of the Dream Ghost and attacking it frantically.
Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump…
Under Li Yao’s special attention, the bubbles of the two MT were the first to burst.
After the Fruit Knight came out, he charged straight at the boss without needing Li Yao to instruct him. After the Dream Space shattered, everyone came out safely.
“Damn, the health recovery in Elite Mode isn’t this freakish.”
Sky Wide Ocean Sky was about to curse out loud. They knew when they went in, the boss’s health was already around 30%, but now it had recovered to 60%, which was simply insane.
“No problem, this is her demon transformation. The increase in health is normal. The next Dream Space won’t increase as much. We can certainly drain her first,” Li Yao hurriedly explained to prevent his team members from losing confidence.
“Who’s scared of her? Now we have the equivalent of an extra squad’s output. What’s there to fear?” Da Vinci was also extremely excited, cherishing the remaining few minutes.
Li Yao’s output was indeed horrifying, as the boss’s health decreased rapidly. Only one minute had passed, and the boss’s health had already dropped to 35%, upon which the boss again triggered the Dream Space.
But this time, the team members’ confidence skyrocketed.
“This time, don’t dodge the skills of the Dream Ghost. I want everyone to unleash full firepower.”
Following the previous situation, all the team members were filled with confidence, and they all began the mode of crazily standing and fighting.
This was Li Yao’s confidence, while in the beginning it was due to his skills and strategy, but now it became leveraging the powerful output of the Mechanical hunter, breaking down the difficulty of this boss.
The Carnival venue was filled with cheers and excitement as the raid competition had ended with an unexpected first place going to a guild from Africa.
The Chinese guild, the Red Mansion, had achieved second place, just a few seconds behind, while the American guild followed closely.
Being able to obtain second place was satisfying for most Chinese gamers, seeing as China’s esports scene had been lagging in recent years and so, second place was worth celebrating.
Moreover, those who can stay with us in the stadium to watch the relatively boring raid competition are undoubtedly die-hard fans of esports. The entire stadium was filled with cheers and the names of the Red Mansion raid members.
Just as joyous were the members of the Red Mansion’s raid team, many of whom still didn’t have an idea of what had taken place.
Currently brimming with happiness, they waved their hands at the audience as they ascended the podium. They cherished this moment, for the Red Mansion guild didn’t rank very high, they were outside the top ten. The fact that they could achieve this feat was due in large part to luck.
In reality, other guilds also weren’t too far from ending the raid by a few seconds, but those few seconds made a world of difference.
While the members of the Red Mansion basked in high-spirits accepting the audience’s cheers, teams that had missed by a few seconds, watched them enviously.
This was the Carnival, an opportunity for their first actual appearances. It was being claimed by such a guild, and some teams were only a few seconds late because they wasted a bit of time when distributing equipment. Now, they were all full of regret.
In the crowded area, the members of the Red Mansion failed to notice that their guild leader was showing a face of terror.
The guildleader hadn’t expected his team to be so efficient today. Normally, he would have burst with joy, but now he felt disgust as if he’d swallowed a fly
The other leaders beside him, though feeling the heat, felt slightly relieved as the brunt of the focus wasn’t on them. They even started comforting the Red Mansion’s guild leader.
The elite unit of the Red Mansion, brimming with joy, got on the stage, only to discover that the faces of the two commentators and the host didn’t look good. There wasn’t a trace of a smile on their faces, as if someone in their family had died. They immediately became disgruntled.
What’s the meaning of this? We’ve achieved world second place with blood, sweat and tears, shouldn’t we be welcomed and celebrated? Why the long faces…
ps: When I woke up, it was already past one o’clock. Now, we’re just over thirty votes away from sixth place. Brothers, continue your support and vote! Mario is thankful!!!
