Chapter 579: Chapter 579: Victory
Although they were already aware of Li Yao’s prowess, his display of such a technique seemed to have opened a new realm for everyone.
The monster horde, far from causing any harm to him, had instead become a hindrance to the beast. It was precisely due to these monsters’ obstruction, that the beast’s actions were continually limited, and the very reason Li Yao could kite the enormous beast boss.
As a result, Li Yao managed to continuously attack, and ultimately, defeated the monster after nearly twenty minutes.
Moreover, everyone now realized that when agility reaches a certain level, certain qualitative changes could occur, such as performing tricks on monsters like this.
Li Yao had initially planned to head to Starfire’s side, but he noticed that the Enchantress and Mu Zi were starting to struggle, especially Mu Zi. His spells were incredibly fantastic and powerful, but they consumed too much mana, hence, he was now facing a mana crisis.
The addition of Li Yao instantly turned the tables. Soon, the three of them killed the giant beast that didn’t have much health left and then rushed to the last giant beast.
Naturally, without any suspense, upon killing the last boss, Li Yao was so tired he could barely stand. Despite the exhaustion, he forced himself to sit on the roof. The Unparalleled Enchantress, along with newcomer Mu Zi, were also worn out, and they sat at the hall entrance for rest.
Li Yao was so tired he could almost collapse. This fatigue wasn’t only physical but also spiritual.
Especially when he heard the Tanuki discussing the qualitative changes of agility strength, and speculating about future actions like wall running.
Li Yao shook his head in amusement, finding merit in his guesswork.
However, in reality, it wasn’t quite the case. The reason Li Yao seemingly walked on air over the monsters was not only attributed to his agility but also his spiritual power.
It’s important to note that the monsters were always changing, some even attacked him.
Li Yao had to select his next landing point. This choice couldn’t be made purely based on sight, but by simulating with his spiritual power. That was the core principle behind his technique.
If he couldn’t simulate the movements of the monsters around him, he could very well land amongst the monsters’ sharp teeth and claws in the next moment.
Furthermore, not all classes could achieve the same level of agility. This has a lot to do with the unique traits of each class. The same level of agility could produce different effects depending on equipment.
For example, a plate armor class, let alone having the same level of agility as Li Yao, wouldn’t be able to run on monsters even with twice the agility.
Magic classes, who main intelligence, could hardly muster Li Yao’s level of agility. Even if they could, by that time, probably the magic-based classes would be level 70 or 80.
By that point, a mage wouldn’t need such agility.
The most direct examples would be the rogues and the martial monks. With the same amount of agility, they’re inevitably more flexible than Li Yao.
Presently, there might be many leather armor classes with agility comparable to Li Yao, but achieving what Li Yao did is questionable. Li Yao wore a faint smile, guessing that many players would attempt it and many masters would die amidst the monster horde today.
However, Li Yao had no concerns about it. If anything, such minor tricks were merely gimmicks that one with sufficient spiritual power could pull off. In reality, there wasn’t a lot of practical use or opportunities to employ it, moreover, not all monsters could be manipulated this way.
“Big brother, you’re really cool! You must teach me this move.” Daimeng Pupil said, her eyes sparkling with awe.
“Okay, but you’ll have to practice your spiritual power every day,” Li Yao warned.
Faced with this, Daimeng’s eyes displayed a glint of bitterness, but she still agreed, “Okay, we’ll see when I meet your requirements.”
Li Yao just smiled. For an adult to practice spiritual power was extraordinarily excruciating and challenging and required immense willpower, much less for a child.
However, Pupil insisted on practicing the method Li Yao taught her. The method seems more effective on children than adults. As long as she persisted for a year, her abilities would undergo a qualitative change.
Afterward, the situation gradually stabilized. The most frightening part of a monster siege was the boss-level monsters.
Of course, if they concentrated on defense, with coordinated professional skills, it would be too challenging for ordinary monsters to break through the players’ defense line.
However, adding boss-level monsters to these ordinary monsters, as soon as there was a breach, it could potentially turn into a gaping hole.
Moreover, monster sieges were not a one-time occurrence. When a village upgraded to a town, a town to a small city, or a small city to a main city, each major change would trigger a monster siege of varying scales.
In the previous life cycle, numerous guild stations failed to upgrade, ending up downgrading instead. Not only did they fail the upgrade, but their reputation suffered, resulting in some NPCs unwilling to settle there, leading to a decline in their station.
Therefore, monster sieges became a major field of study, in which dealing with the bosses became crucial.
Having witnessed numerous sieges, Li Yao was not the least bit concerned, and this was also the main reason he triggered the monster siege himself.
The four guilds weren’t ill-prepared. For the monsters to break through their stations would be no easy feat. They would undoubtedly consume part of their resources, especially the bosses, which would also be worn down significantly.
Otherwise, Li Yao wouldn’t dare to act so boldly, despite being highly skilled, he was still outnumbered.
The rest of the battle was relatively straightforward, even though there were a few ups and downs and the occasional appearance of boss-level monsters.
The problem was, with help from the Hydra Scroll and the Charm Scroll, any boss monster posed little threat to Li Yao and his team. Thus, these bosses barely caused any major disruptions.
The number of monsters was dwindling, and finally, the last wave of monsters fell to the ground.
From Starfire’s side, triumphant cheers echoed, celebrating their well-deserved victory.
“I did not expect your calculations to be successful,” the Unparalleled Enchantress said, laughing.
“Haha, to be honest, I had no idea either. I’m just glad I didn’t let everyone down.” Li Yao’s heart also filled with joy, now Starfire could firmly plant its roots here.
“I believe.” The Unparalleled Enchantress smiled. She was glad for her decision even though she didn’t want to admit it. But having experienced this battle, she felt somewhat integrated into the Starfire family, and a sense of belonging emerged—just like before.
Looking at the members who were genuinely laughing, she understood that it wasn’t just her who felt this way. Moreover, she realized that the greatest gain from this battle was not the priority right for resources, or annihilating eighty thousand enemies and countless monsters. It was the unison forged amongst them.
After enduring an entire night of a fierce battle, the new guild members found belonging, and the gap between the new and old members vanished.
Starfire seemed to embody the vigor of the rising sun, prospering onwards…
