Li Yi immediately went forward to check the attributes.
[Boss: Demonized General]
[Rarity: Special]
[HP: 100,000]
[Physical Attack: 600]
[Magic Attack: 400]
[Physical Defense: 150]
[Magic Defense: 100]
[Boss Skill: ???]
[Special Skill: ???]
…
The attributes of the boss were simply too high. It had a high attack, high defense, and high HP. If they were to fight this boss, the chances of surviving would be low!
At this moment, Li Yi retreated back and said, “This boss has the same strategy as the last time we fought a boss together. I shall go and tank the main damage from the boss. Those who can only withstand more than one hit from the boss will go and block the position of the boss.”
Everyone looked at each other. There were only five players who had higher attribute points. They were A-grade talents, and they were also related to defense or stamina in terms of the skills they had. However, they were barely able to withstand one attack. If they were to receive a critical hit, they would definitely die. Knowing this, the players hesitated to get into formation.
“Enough! Remember, I’ll be in charge now. Get into formation right now. We must kill this boss as soon as possible!”
This boss was the bridge between the magic equipment and the gate of the magical realm. They must not die, or there would definitely be a big problem afterward!
Li Yi then arranged the players strategically and led the charge. When the Demonized General saw that someone was charging towards him, he immediately brandished the sharp sword in his hand. He looked down on the living beings as though he was the God of Death. He growled, “Lowly humans, your blood will become the stepping stone for the descent of the creatures from the magical realm!”
The eyes of the Demonized General instantly shot out a cold light, and this caused everyone to shiver uncontrollably. He suddenly raised the sharp sword in his hand, and with a piercing sound, the sword slashed down on Li Yi’s body.
“-1,570! Critical Hit!”
This damage caused everyone’s hearts to drop. Even their strongest Main Tanker would probably be insta-killed with a single strike.
Li Yi did not hesitate at all and directly slashed the boss as a counterattack and dealt a critical hit.
“-140! Critical Hit!”
“-90!”
“-150!”
“Hehe!!”
The Demonized General let out a cold laugh. He did not think that there would be a worthy ant that could have withstood his attack. The next strike from the boss had been instantly unleashed. Li Yi was prepared for the attack and immediately lured the boss further away from the rest of the players.
“Magic Apprentices, attack!!”
“-4!”
“-8! Critical Hit!”
“-2!”
…
This round of attack only took about 400 HP from the boss. It was like scooping the ocean with a spoon, it was never-ending! Fireball had a cooldown rate, and there were not many long-range attackers at the moment!
“Annoying little bug, go to Hell!”
The Demonized General turned around and headed towards the group of Magic Apprentices.
Li Yi immediately shouted, “Stop him!!”
When Li Yi gave the order, the strongest Main Tanker in the guild suppressed his fear and directly blocked himself in front of the boss. This stopped the boss in his tracks. Then, the boss roared angrily from this stunt.
“Measly ants, how dare you block my path? Die!”
He directly raised the sharp sword in his hand. The black aura on the sharp sword condensed, and a stream of black shadow suddenly hacked into the Main Tank, causing damage.
“-711!”
This person’s HP instantly bottomed out. He was only 13 HP away from dying. This was all thanks to his damage reduction talent. Otherwise, he would have definitely died!
A boss of this level already had some basic intelligence. It did not give the player any chance to escape. The next attack would definitely land on him as he only had 13 HP left.
The Magic Apprentices immediately began to heal the low-health player.
The healing skills of the early Magic Apprentices could not instantly heal others to full health. Instead, they could only recover +50 HP peruse and had a 10 seconds cooldown rate. Moreover, they could not stack their HP.
As for the instant healing skill, it was something that only some high-level bosses would drop. Only with this skill book could one be considered a qualified Healing Mage.
“-3013!”
Just as the player was about to die, the boss let out an angry roar from behind. A sudden attack appeared and interrupted the boss’s advancement to the player. Thus, saving the player’s life.
The player was so scared that he had turned pale. He immediately casted a grateful look towards the assailant and quickly retreated!
At this moment, Li Yi also took advantage of this situation when the boss was stunned and immediately launched an attack from behind.
“-101!”
“-110!”
…
The boss had recovered from being stunned and seemed to have been insulted. It immediately roared and charged towards the ant that was attacking it. At this moment, Li Yi had already bolted far away from the attack range of the boss. This was because he was waiting for the rest of his skills to cooldown.
However, no matter how amazing his speed and skills in dodging were, he could not make up for the difference in the boss’s quality. It was a situation where he would definitely take damage.
“-799!”
“-40! Counter Damage!
“-1,677! Critical Hit!
“-81! Counter Damage!”
…
With such a terrifying damage attack, even Li Yi found it difficult to withstand the blows that came his way. Right now, the boss was enraged as he had failed to kill the tiny ant in front of him, several times now. He raised the sharp sword in his hand, and the black clouds in the sky immediately moved above him. The black clouds began to condense thicker around his surroundings.
Li Yi knew that this situation was not right. When the boss raised the weapon in his hand, he immediately commanded everyone to flee the scene.
What followed after was countless black bolts of lightning that struck down from the black clouds. However, there was still one person who did not manage to dodge the attack, and he was instantly killed by the terrifying attack.
“-844.”
When Li Yi saw this situation, his heart dropped. Currently, there were not many pieces of equipment that could increase his defense from a magic attack. Even if all of the Warrior Apprentices were to increase their defenses against magic attacks, they would still be as fragile as a piece of paper.
Moreover, this boss would not be easily killed in an instant. The damage dealt by the other guild members was also extremely low. No matter how good Li Yi’s command was, it would be impossible to defeat this boss in less than a day or two if they were to follow the same strategy.
Moreover, there was a mandatory limit on the game time in the early stages of the game whereby players had to log off after a set period of time to avoid fatigue in real life. If there was a chance that all of the players right now became offline during the mandatory time limit, everything would be for naught!
“Carefree Dream, what should we do now?”
Sun Conqueror did not want to retreat just yet. As long as Li Yi had a plan, even if he had to risk everything in the guild, he would not hesitate to follow whatever path Li Yi created. Recruiting an expert like him would make up for the losses he might have.
Li Yi pointed at the sword and commanded, “I will go and pull out that sword. With this sword, I will definitely be able to kill the boss!”
Then, Li Yi rushed towards the direction and quickly came to the side of the magic weapon. He grabbed the magic weapon and pulled it up.
[System Notification: When pulling out the magic weapon, it shall follow you forever. Do you still wish to pull it out?]
“Yes!”
[System Notification: Please wait for a moment. The magic weapon will be equipped in 60 seconds!]
In the next moment, the surrounding black demonic aura surged crazily towards the magic weapon, sucking all the dark aura around it. Meanwhile, the door behind him trembled a few times. It seemed like the gap in the door was about to close.
However, seeing this, the boss’s eyes had turned red. He let out an earth-shattering roar. “Ant!! I want every single one of you to die!!!”
Then, he took large strides towards the altar that Li Yi stood upon! Sun Conqueror quickly shouted, “Quick!! Someone, go and block the boss’s advancements. Whoever that’s willing to fight back and were to die, I shall give 1,000 USD as compensation for each death!!”
The guild members were not afraid once they heard the enticing offer. They all immediately charged forward.
“Let’s do it! It’s just a drop in level. Anyways, we’ve obtained a lot of equipment along the way. We’ll definitely not lose out on anything!!”
“Yeah, let me cause a scene to help all of you!” A Magic Apprentice shouted. He mimicked the movements of the previous Main Tanker. This caused the boss to get distracted by the little ant in front of him. With that, he roared in anger, “Ant, get lost!”
The sword slashed down.
“-798.”
The Magic Apprentice had died!
“It’s my turn!”
“-1870! Critical Hit!”
The Warrior Apprentice had died!
“It’s my turn…”
Player after player, each of them sacrificed their lives to buy some time for Li Yi..
