This was our first time setting up a formation, so it was somewhat disorganized. Many people didn’t know their role, and there were coordination problems among the teams.
But the good news is, we had formed a preliminary battle formation ten minutes later.
“Sis Li can take over the command. I have to hold off the boss, I won’t have time to do anything else,” said Li Yao.
“Alright,” Sis Li nodded in agreement.
“Most of you might not know what we’re up against. Let me explain. We’re going to ambush a transport team from the Naga Clan. There are hundreds of Silver Naga, and one boss leading the team.”
“I will hold off the boss. Your task is to take down the Silver Naga as quickly as possible and then aid me in attacking the boss. So, Sis Li will coordinate the following actions.”
“There’s one more thing. This is a public map, which makes it dangerous. Monsters are not the main concern here. The real threat could be other guilds attacking us to claim the boss. I don’t want to see anyone running away when the battle begins.”
“Participation in this event is voluntary. Anyone of us, including me, could be killed. So, if any of you don’t want to take a risk, you can opt out and do guild tasks instead. Don’t feel forced, you have three minutes to make a decision.”
“But let me be clear. For those who stay, you must obey commands and cannot retreat from the battle. Otherwise, don’t blame me for deducting guild points. That’s all I have to say. Make your choices.”
There was silence in the crowd. Suddenly, someone quipped, “What’s there to be scared of? We have thousands of elite players. We’ll kill them, no matter how many come.”
“Exactly, that’s the spirit,” another chimed in.
“It’s a game. Afraid of player killing? That would be a big joke.”
“Mr. President, just carry on. No one will withdraw.”
A wave of excitement swept over the guild members, even those who were initially hesitant. Influenced by this atmosphere, they also voiced their commitment.
You should know that there were a significant number of girls in this group. If they were to show fear, they wouldn’t be able to maintain their dignity in the guild later.
“Prepare for battle!” Sis Li called out after a while.
Li Yao used a Swift Scroll on himself, continuously scanning the emerging Naga, trying to locate the boss.
Suddenly, he found his target.
“A Quad-arm Naga, impressive.”
It was a female Naga. Even though she was distorted, and her body was covered with colorful scales, there was a seductive beauty about her.
It’s easy to distinguish between the professions of the Naga. Males were massive and formidable, wielding their Water-splitting Forks and serving as meat shields. They excelled in close combat and possessed immense strength.
The female Naga were complex, mostly spell-casters. Divided into Two-arm, Four-arm, Six-arm, and Eight-arm Naga, the more arms they had, the higher their status.
The Naga Clan has always revered females. Their supreme ruler is the queen. This queen survived from ancient times and formerly ruled the Elf Clan. She was beloved by her tribe. However, she betrayed her tribe due to certain reasons, leading to endless disasters.
Land shattered, and the world was on the brink of destruction. Subsequently, she sank into the sea. The surviving Elves also split.
“Why are there always some fools who want to die, trying to stop the unstoppable? Kill them for me.”
With the call from the boss, the male Naga bellowed and charged towards the guild’s line-up.
Li Yao picked up his Flame Crossbow, aimed briefly, then pulled the trigger.
Thud…
The Four-arm Naga who was observing the battlefield was suddenly shot. She looked at the Steel Arrow stuck in her, pulled it out calmly, and coldly said, “After ten thousand years, you lot have disgraced the queen’s reputation by becoming so weak.”
Lithely propelling her serpentine bottom towards the side of the battle formation, right where Li Yao was.
The guild members, caught sight of the boss’s hit point, gasped collectively.
Four-arm Naga
Rank: Level 15 1-star boss
Hit points: 220,000 for an individual or small team. Current hit points: 1.1 million.
Armor Rating: 288
Resistance: Basic Ice Resistance, Basic Toxin Resistance
Skills: Ice Armor, Ice Arrow, Ice Orb, Blizzard, Blink, Ice Ring, Ice Array Murder, Ice Barrier.
Li Yao was unsurprised. It was normal for the boss to have a horrifying amount of hit points since there were over a thousand players trying to defeat it.
Otherwise, her hit points would be drained in an instant by a single skill from each player. That would make the game boring.
“Queens? Sorry, we pledge our loyalty to the Sun King.” As Li Yao retreated, he kept launching attacks.
“You traitors.” The Four-arm Naga became incredibly enraged.
“The queen and you are the real traitors. You pushed our race towards destruction and division.” Li Yao, aware of the history of the ancient gods, easily refuted her claim.
“Poor little thing. You’re not even as old as a fraction of my age. You have no idea about the greatness of the queen. Everything she did was for our race. Go ask your elders about it, let them teach you how to respect your predecessors.” An icon of Ice Armor appeared on the Four-arm Naga, and the damage Li Yao caused was immediately halved.
“History has already made a verdict. You’re the eternal sinners who had us banished and caused our downfall, making us wander in the East Continent. Also, please take a look at yourself in the mirror. You are no longer the noble and great Elves, but Naga, right?”
“Impudent. In our hearts, we will always be Elves.” The eyes of the Four-arm Naga turned icy. “Since you don’t know better, let me teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders.”
“Bring it on.” Li Yao never stopped attacking the whole time.
The Four-arm Naga halted for a moment and started casting an Ice Arrow.
In team mode, it was impossible for him to break the spell, and the knockback of Force of Bull couldn’t protect every arrow.
Snap…
Ice Arrows were aimed precisely at Li Yao’s position.
But, Li Yao also shot an arrow at the same time the Ice Arrow was released, followed by a second one.
Upon two striking sounds, the Ice Arrow finally shattered.
Li Yao, after upgrading and changing his gears over this period, had significantly improved his agility. He had become much faster than before.
“You’re pretty good. Let’s see how you handle this next move.”
The Naga raised all four of her arms, and a blue Magic Circle Pattern appeared over Li Yao’s head.
Li Yao’s body emitted a red light, indicating the activation of Force of Bull. He fired an arrow simultaneously.
Boom…
The arrow hit her neck directly, causing her body to recoil, and the blue Magic Circle Pattern disappeared.
“Useless.” The Four-arm Naga stepped back and broke the spell. But she raised her four arms again, and the pattern of the Magic Circle appeared once more.
“Who said it’s useless?” As the Magic Circle Pattern appeared, Li Yao immediately performed a Shadow Roll, dodging out of its radius. The bone-chilling blizzard brushed past him, landing on the ground with a crackle.
Suddenly, the guild members and the male Naga clashed…
