Chapter 80: Chapter 80: A Word of Disagreement
Translator: 549690339
With their successful breach, both inflicted considerable damage on the boss.
However, Li Yao was not fighting alone. With an array of machinery at his disposal, his overall damage was two to three times that of Flaming Red Lips.
The Herdsman picked up his war axe and let out another roar.
ZZZaaaa zzzaaaa…
The sound of electric arc collisions echoed around. Dozens of arc-like mini-fountains sprouted and moved about, constantly shooting electricity around them.
These unpredictable arc fountains dominated the area.
Although they hadn’t experienced the power of these arcs directly, they knew from experience with the ancient gods that the boss’ skills were lethal. Their mobility was significantly limited.
They could only dodge the electricity tossed out by the arc fountains as much as possible. For Li Yao, the loss of the Arrow Tower’s output was a blow since the tower would collapse upon contact with the arcs.
Fortunately, the Fire Hawk remained unscathed, swooping and soaring above the ground, unaffected by terrestrial skills.
The spectators gasped in surprise. How could the Herdsman, a melee-character, unleash magic skills?
Caught off guard, Flaming Red Lips barely dodged the electric arcs. Luckily, her Blink ability had cooled down. She blinked out of harm’s way in time, averting the danger.
But that was just the beginning. Green light began to emanate from the ground without the Herdsman making any move.
Then, globs of venom exploded from the ground, and both had to dodge not just the electric arcs but also the constantly erupting venom.
Li Yao could manage since he could attack while on the move.
But Flaming Red Lips was at a loss. Her Fireball technique required casting time and with the battlefield being what it was, remaining stationary meant suicide.
“Little insects, it’s time to pay the price,”
The Herdsman began to drag his axe along the ground, generating a slow whirlwind around him.
The two players instantly recognized the boss’s intention. It was the Death Vortex.
Li Yao stared at the red dot. His two Shadow Wheels had reached the boss’ side when he suddenly pulled the trigger on his gun.
Bang…
The bullet hit the Herdsman’s balance point on his leg, causing him to howl in pain and tumble to the ground, shaking the earth.
The Fire Hawk attacked anew, Steel Ripping in the air while Li Yao kept his damage output high. Blood sprayed everywhere.
The boss, deprived of its defense bonus, suffered horrifying damage as monstrous numbers popped up.
At the same time, Flaming Red Lips showed a hint of despair in her eyes, as there wasn’t any chance to chant a spell under the current circumstances.
Breaking the boss’s move seemed impossible. She used the agility of the werewolf to quickly move away from the boss while dodging the electric arcs.
As the Herdsman’s spin became more intense, a whistling sound of tearing wind echoed.
At this moment, the Herdsman resembled a massive white cyclone. He spun so fast that he formed a real tornado.
As he moved, the grassland behind him formed deep trenches. At the same time, disordered wind blades shot out irregularly.
These wind blades were extremely sharp. Flaming Red Lips, who hadn’t moved far enough, was hit, almost depleting her health bar.
She jumped in fear, narrowly escaping instant death by a single wind blade, leaving her with a sliver of health.
Flaming Red Lips quickly drank a Life Potion and distanced herself from the boss at the same time. She was sharp; otherwise, if she was any closer to the boss, she would have surely been hit by more than two gust blades, resulting in her certain death.
However, that’s as far as it went.
Before she could react, a massive bolt of lightning dropped from above. Flaming Red Lips didn’t even realize what happened before she collapsed onto the ground.
Being low on health, she could not withstand the boss’s skill attack.
With the death of Flaming Red Lips, the phantom figure of her side’s boss disappeared, and she and her team were revived.
“How did he dodge that?” Flaming Red Lips saw Li Yao dodging through the electric arc swiftly, and without decreasing his output or losing health, she asked.
After all, she was too focused just now, couldn’t be distracted, and had no idea how Li Yao dodged the boss’s Shining Thunder Strike.
“It’s Shadow Roll.” Furong Rain said, she had been watching Li Yao all the time.
Worried that Flaming Red Lips might not understand, she further explained,
“This guy is too unpredictable. It’s like he has eves on the top of his head. As soon as the electric arc appeared above his head, he used Shadow Roll to dodge it. The lightning couldn’t catch up with his speed.”
“You mean, the Shining Thunder Strike is continuous?” Flaming Red Lips frowned.
“Yes, I saw him use Shadow Roll six times before stopping. Every time, the lightning missed him.”
“Then it’s not unfair for me to die. Even if Blink was off cooldown, I might dodge it the first time, but I wouldn’t be able to dodge the following lightning strikes.” Flaming Red Lips’ resentful eyes dimmed, the competition was already over.
No matter whether Li Yao could kill this boss or not, he was the victor. But seeing Li Yao’s agile movements, she couldn’t help but sigh, “I’m no match for him. He’s much better than I am.”
She was very clear that after transforming into a werewolf, she would be more agile and flexible than Li Yao now, but she couldn’t be as nimble as him.
There would be no delay in her damage output at all. If she could be like Li Yao, she could also cast Fireball Technique to continue her output, but unfortunately, she still couldn’t do it now.
Naiheqiao was in a very bad mood at this moment. Flaming Red Lips took the first place and he could accept it a bit, after all, the other party was also a guild, it wouldn’t be humiliating to say that.
But who is Li Yao? They were the elites of the guild. It was one person on their side and an elite squad on their side. They still lost to him, which was really humiliating.
They had hoped the boss could kill Li Yao, but as the boss’s health became lower and lower, he finally fell to the ground. Finally, Naiheqiao’s face was ashen.
“System: Prairie Squad has won the competition. Do you want to continue to meet the next wave of monster attacks?”
“No.” Li Yao chose to refuse. It is meaningless to continue. To surpass the rewards of this stage, he must endure twenty more waves, but the monsters in the next stage would be more perverted, and after the thirtieth wave, the elites would be refreshed. At this stage, he simply had no ability to go further.
The treasure chest on the altar gradually shrank to the size of a palm and disappeared into Li Yao’s bag.
This treasure chest was also a good thing. When he gets his own house in the future, he can use it as a storage box.
“You think you’ve won, don’t you? Feeling smug?” Naiheqiao said coldly.
“You’ve really guessed wrong this time. I don’t feel any sense of achievement after beating you. Would you feel proud if you won a race against a pig?” Li Yao, who had gotten the treasure chest, was in a good mood.
“Keep up your cocky attitude, wait until you’re teleported out, you’ll know what tears are.” Naiheqiao sneered.
“So, you brought people to ambush me?” Li Yao sighed.
“Seems you’re not as dumb as you look.” Naiheqiao smirked.
“You’re just too stupid.” Li Yao suddenly pulled the trigger of the heavy crossbow: “Your IQ really worries me.”
Everyone was shocked. They didn’t expect that Li Yao, who was alone, made the first move again. Regardless, there were five people on the opposite side, and they certainly wouldn’t give him a chance to string them together like sugar-coated haws this time…
