Chapter 1431: Forbidden Ground Devil Sovereign
Chapter 1431: Forbidden Ground Devil Sovereign
The snow grew bigger and bigger. It was to the point where the Ancient Divine Dragon’s forehead was covered up by a thin layer of snow. After it was done shaking off the snow, I shifted to a more comfortable position on its back and asked, "Should we head down and help?"
He Yi pouted. "Pop Culture helped Candle Dragon attack us. There’s no way I’m helping them fight the boss!"
I smiled. "You misunderstood me. I mean we help the boss fuck up Pop Culture…"
He Yi: "..."
……
Beiming Xue narrowed her eyes for a moment before blinking away the snowflakes that became attached to her eyelashes. She said, "It doesn’t look like we need to act. Look, a large group of people are closing in on the boss…"
"Oh?"
We looked. A huge troop of elite cavalrymen was rushing out of the thick snow with their weapons at the ready. Their guild emblem was a dragon’s head. It was none other than Purgatory Mad Dragon.
"Roar roar…"
The roar of Mad Leopards filled the air. Leading the way was Ray of Sunshine on his Cloud Devil Leopard. A powerful weapon in his grip and the Heaven Suppressing Necklace glowing red and golden around his neck, he declared with a small but confident smile, "Looks like this boss is ours, guild leader!" (Author’s Note: Earlier, I stated that Ray of Sunshine’s mount is an Ink Qilin. That was definitely a mistake, and I’m fix ing it here. Much apologies.)
Beside him, Wand Dongliang replied with a smirk of his own, "Yes. Form up and prepare to attack! Brother Chao, can you tell your men to come over as soon as possible and post another 20,000 players at the entrance in case Dark Mercenaries show up? Also, we should message Warsky Alliance Little Piglet’s coordinates and leave Warsky and Farewell Song to deal with Little Piglet for us. That idiot thinks he can destroy us? Hmph!"
Roaming Dragon sneered, "Tch! Who the hell does Little Piglet think he is? He’s just one of the many dogs Vienna’s Sorrow raised in the outer lands. He bites whoever his master orders him to bite. Take revenge for Shangguan Wan’er? That’s a baldfaced lie if I ever saw one. His true goal is to build an army of his own in the outer lands and call himself king. In fact, I dare say that he plotted this for a long time now… hmph. For love? I suppose that Shangguan Wan’er was tight enough to leave an impression…"
Wang Dongliang frowned, and Profound Puff clenched his fists furiously. "Motherfucker…"
"Calm down, Puff!" It took a stern rebuke from Wang Dongliang before the priest finally unclenched his fists.
Purgatory Mad Dragon had no idea we were watching them from the hills. Technically speaking, both sides were within visible distance, but they had to look up to see us. No one was going to do that while a snowstorm was going on.
So far, it looked like Purgatory Mad Dragon was nowhere as united as they would like the outsiders believed them to be. Shangguan Wan’er used to be one of Hegemon Palace’s central pillars until that terrible incident. Although Hegemon Palace ultimately chose self-interest over friendship, they weren’t robots after all. Profound Puff obviously found it difficult to swallow Lu Chao’s casual insult of his former comrade, and even Wang Dongliang looked like he was just holding his temper because of their business relationship. Otherwise, there would’ve been a fallout already.
……
Chiang!
Wang Dongliang abruptly unsheathed his weapon and declared, "Go! Don’t leave a single Pop Culture player behind! Oh, but leave Lone Moonshade for me to kill!"
The moment the order was given, Ray of Sunshine Charged and skewered Lone Moonshade from behind, stunning him. The snowstorm gave him only a visibility range of a dozen or so meters, so he wasn’t expecting to be ambushed from the back at all. The guild leader slowly turned back and saw Ray of Sunshine.
"You again, Purgatory Mad Dragon!?"
Lone Moonshade uttered with hateful eyes, "Just you wait! One day, I’m going to slaughter you all!"
Ray of Sunshine snorted. "You’re just one of Candle Dragon’s dogs, a disobedient dog no less. Forget Candlelight Shadow, I bet even you don’t value yourself. Your guild is so useless that it’s beneath us to declare war on you, so just die already."
Swhoosh!
Right after he finished, Wang Dongliang hit Lone Moonshade with a Charge and stabbed him in the stomach with Barrier Break. A massive damage number rose above the guild leader’s head, and he was dead just like that—
294,377!
After Lone Moonshade died, a group of archers focused the last few Pop Culture players at the scene down.
Boom!
Suddenly, a heavy axe smashed into Wang Dongliang’s back and sent him stumbling a couple of steps forward. He was a Level 231 cavalryman called "Devouring Holy Emperor", and he had struck Wang Dongliang with Blazing Slash that dealt 210k damage. The brawny man said furiously, "Wang Dongliang, you human trash! I won’t forget today! One day, my brothers and I will settle the score with you!"
Wang Dongliang chuckled, and Ray of Sunshine fired Dragon Flame Flurry that instantly dropped the cavalryman to just 20% HP. While turning away to escape, he said, "Where there's life, there's hope. We will meet again!"
"Seriously?"
Coldmoon Rose jumped off Roaming Dragon’s thigh and grabbed an arrow from her back. After she stunned the escaping cavalryman with Shock Arrow, Iron Pardon Charged him and unleashed a triple-hit combo. With that, Pop Culture was officially wiped from the map.
……
"Magic knight legion, tank the boss! Archers, mages, priests, form square formations and surround the boss from different directions! Let’s go!" Wang Dongliang ordered loudly.
Meanwhile, my Dark Pupils finally succeeded in penetrating the thick snow and capturing the boss's stat screen. The Sovereign Rank boss was a six-armed monster that looked like half of its body was sewn together. It had two regular arms, two arms that were attached to its upper torso, and another two that were attached to its waist. It wore red battle armor, wielded two axes and two shields. All in all, it looked like the all-rounder type of boss. After it let out a furious roar, it swung its battle axes and charged straight into Purgatory Mad Dragon—
Forbidden Ground Devil Sovereign, Minotaur Knight (Sovereign Rank Boss)
Level: 315
Attack: 59,000~83,500
Defense: 100,000
HP: 550,000,000
Skills: Sovereign Arrival, Twinblade Crush, Iron Shield Defense, Depravity of the Forbidden Ground
Introduction: The leader of the ancient minotaur race. Knight was a hero of his race until one day, the undead invaded and defeated him and his elites in battle. His subordinates were decapitated and fed to the Corpse Eaters, but Knight was able to hold his ground in the forbidden ground and killed at least a dozen undead generals. In the end, it took the Purgatory Ruler Lin Na himself to finally subjugate him. Lin Na had torn his arms from his body and sewn the arms of a Doghead Devil to his body to humiliate him for eternity. Thankfully, Knight had already lost his soul by that point, so he couldn’t feel the shame that Lin Na had subjected his body to.
……
"Have you come to feed me, puny humans?" The minotaur boss glared hatefully at the Purgatory Mad Dragon players while attacking them with both axes.
A Level 227 magic knight rushed up to the boss while saying, "I’ll be the MT. Make sure to keep me healed!"
However, a pair of bloody lights skewered the magic knight’s shield and his body when the boss's axes crossed the air. It was none other than the skill "Twinblade Crush”. The magic knight’s eyes widened as a huge damage number rose above his head. He couldn’t believe that he couldn’t withstand even a single hit from the boss—
3,792,773!
It wasn’t even a critical hit, so he couldn’t claim that he had died because of bad luck.
……
I watched the boss fight in silence. I had no doubt that Twinblade Crush was a skill that largely ignored the target’s Defense because it had hit a magic knight for almost 4 million damage. Of course, the magic knight himself was more fragile than normal. If it was me, the skill would probably hit me for a million damage at most. It was definitely within my capability to endure.
At the valley, Roaming Dragon ordered loudly, "We need a main tank! Ray of Sunshine cannot equip a shield, so he won’t be able to tank the boss properly! Inconstant, you go! You just got a Level 230 Ancient Immortal-grade shield, so you should be able to take it on!"
Inconstant Charged the boss without hesitation!
Swhoosh!
Amazingly, the boss was actually stunned by the Charge. An overjoyed Inconstant immediately dished out a triple-hit skill before it could recover, but—
1,276!
987!
1,122!
……
I nearly burst out in laughter when I saw the damage numbers. It took a lot of effort to contain myself.
The moment the boss recovered, it roared and executed yet another Twinblade Crush.
Crack!
2,784,099!
Inconstant turned as white as a ghost. He was a 5-Stamina magic knight, and the boss still managed to drop him to less than 500k HP in one hit. I’m guessing here, but it looked like his max HP was even lower than mine. When the Forbidden Ground Devil Sovereign struck out at Inconstant again, the Gemini Star shouted, "Sunshine, help me!"
The Cloud Devil Panther roared, and Ray of Sunshine arrived just in time to parry the strike and save Inconstant’s life. However, the boss was an all-rounder fighter. The moment its axe was blocked, it immediately executed a shield bash and knocked both Ray of Sunshine and his mount backward a couple of meters, dealing around 700k damage or so. The warrior turned white when he saw this.
Wang Dongliang grew anxious. "Motherfucker! Priests! Where are the priests? We’re going to have 300 priests focus all their healing on one person! No way this won’t work!"
……
I finally couldn’t hold myself back any longer and commented, "OMG, my stomach is hurting so bad from all this hilarity. I can’t wait to see the boss kill them…"
Beiming Xue was also chuckling. "Yeah, I would be sorry for them if they weren’t Purgatory Mad Dragon…"
It was at this moment a smooth, milky hand clasped my shoulder, and a sweet voice said, "Hmph hmph, why didn’t you guys message me that you were here? I was wondering why you guys haven’t shown up yet on another hilltop…"
