Chapter 731: The Dragon Race – Longador

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone including Zhang Yang himself, gasped at the array of skills that the boss had.

With the {Sloth Aura} in effect, players will be forced to move around every 4 seconds, or they will deal 200,000 AoE damage! Worse of all, if they are moving, they will receive double damage from both {Tail Whip} and {Death Blade}. The situation was so bad that the party was caught between getting killed by sharks in the ocean, or tigers on land.

Fortunately, the {Sloth Aura} bomb effect will only detonate after 4 seconds. All they had to do to remove the debuff was to move within 1 second after obtaining it. On the other hand, both {Tail Whip} and {Death Blade} had casting times, which allowed players to decide whether to take it or to avoid it. Naturally, taking the hit was far better than allowing the bomb to detonate! Anyone would rather take the double damage rather than inflict damage to anyone around them!

The match would be a messy one. When a character moves, they cannot attack. Hence, the entire party will be producing crippled DPS. Still, it was extremely fortunate that the boss did not have any HP recovery skills.

Since the quest was limited to only 10 participants, Zhang Yang believed that the final boss would not spawn if he had brought more players over the limit. Now that the final boss had appeared, all they had to do was to kill it to complete the mission!

"Alright. Time to shine guys!" said Zhang Yang as he activated his Transformation skill. Everyone else followed immediately after. They had all been reserving their skills for several days. All for the sake of defeating the final boss for the S class quest!

One by one, everyone shone brightly as their character glowed with a beautiful radiant light. All except Wei Yan Er and Fatty Han. Wei Yan Er was engulfed in e dark cloud, turning her entire character into a pitch-black entity. Fatty Han himself had grown fangs and had a black mental cloak that turned him into a vampire. Just like the boss, those two were like monsters!

"Go!" said Zhang Yang as he took the lead and charged towards the boss.

Zhang Yang did not bother explaining the strategy since the boss' skill was there for everyone to read. Everyone knew what they should and should not do, for they have been fighting for more than two years side by side! Repetition is the progress to mastery. Even Fatty Han had gotten used to controls and even the battle flow.

Was it you lot that tried to destroy my refinery!?" Longador pulled out his blade and swung it hard at Zhang Yang. "Lord Angus' plans shall never be foil by the likes of you. Leave! Or suffer a painful death by my blade!"

Longador's force was so strong that Zhang Yang was sent flying away. Even though he had managed to block the attack with his shield, he was unable to withstand the boss' sheer power. With a quick flap of his wings, Zhang Yang shot himself towards the boss and sliced the boss' chest open.

"URGH!" The boss grunted. Even though the boss was in a fit of rage, he was unable to attack for his attack intervals was determined by the 2 second attack interval. However, instead of attacking with his sword, Longador hurled his fist to strike Zhang Yang. The oncoming attack was so fast and unpredictable that Zhang Yang was unable to guard it.

With a loud thud, Zhang Yang was sent flying again.

"Aw!" Zhang Yang tried to move but it felt like every rib cage had been broken by the attack. His breathing was ragged. After merely 1 second, Zhang Yang managed to get back to his feet and rushed towards the boss and landed {Cripple Defense}. Wei Yan Er followed up and smacked out {Cripple Defense} to stack it up to 5 counts. Only after that, the party started to attack.

"Woah. I've never seen a boss could also use supporting attacks!" said Endless Starlight.

Zhang Yang was not the only person who had taken a fist attack. Everyone else was randomly targeted and will be disrupted for a brief moment. Although it was not considered as a real damaging attack, it would still affect the DPS of the player. What's more, the attack was completely random! If the boss hates your face, then prepare to take a fist to your face!

The situation had turned a little worse. Since everyone will be rendered motionless for a second after being struck by the fist, the bomb that sets in might go off! It would be a disaster if that happens. On the other hand, the attack will also directly affect the party's attacking ability. Magic attack classes will be the ones that suffer the most. When a player is casting a spell, be it healing or attacking, the fist attack will ultimately disrupt the spellcasting, forcing the player to recast the skill all over again.

It was unfortunate that the boss had long arms. In just a few steps, the boss could punch the range attackers who were standing at the maximum range. Hence, it would be impossible to escape the range of the boss' serious series punch!

Physical attack class player would be luckier of the fist landed on them for their attacks do not require any casting animation. They could still move around only after 1 second of recovering. The worst would always be the Spellcasters since they had to keep on monitoring the bomb on their character. They could not just ignore them to heal or attack.

"Haha! Little bugs! I'll smash you to bits!" Longador stopped moving and a progress bar appeared on his head, that sped up in the blink of an eye.

Everyone stopped moving instantly and was ready to take the hit.

The boss turned around and unleashed his tail to strike everyone. Everyone took the hit, taking the damage head-on. 140,000 was the lowest value and 220,000 was the highest. Even though they were all in their Transformed state, if the healer does not keep up the healing, the entire party will eventually plunge into a dangerous state. The party had not reached the level where they could easily be killed by boss with their HP.

"Weakling! You are nothing!" Longador grunted boldly. Another progress bar appeared and disappeared in a flash. The boss took out his sword and prepared for a swing.

It was the {Death Blade} and Zhang Yang was not afraid of it. With his legs carrying his character, he held his shield up high, ready to block the attack.

PANG!

The boss swung his massive blade and struck Zhang Yang's shield. The powerful strike was rendered powerless in the face of a Guardian.

"Stupid boss! Taste my axe!" Wei Yan Er hovered over to the boss in her smoke form and cleaved the boss at his neck.

Even though both Zhang Yang and Sun Xin Yu each had the [Book of Revelation] the damage aura could not stack on each other. Only the stronger one, Zhang Yang's 10% damage increase was applied to everyone. Hence, even though the little brat had lost its {Axe Mastery} 5% damage increasing buff, she still gained a boost of power from Zhang Yang's aura. Furthermore, a Holy tier weapon was far stronger than an Ethereal tier could be.

Even though the little girl only a class A Inheritance, she was able to rely on her two-handed weapon to deal the strongest attack! Even Sun Xin Yu and Zhang Yang could not deal that much damage in a single strike! However, to compare a character as a whole, Zhang Yang had Felice and the Phoenix to add up to with his own devastating attacks. As such, Zhang Yang was still the highest DPS in the party, followed by Wei Yan Er as the second, and Sun Xin Yu as the third. Hundred Shots and Fatty Han were far behind them.

The most pitiful one was Lost Dream. Alone, he could take on two Hunters at the same time. However, now that both Fatty Han and Hundred Shots had Legendary Beast as their pets, their damage was too much for Lost Dream to compare. Daffodil Daydream, on one hand, had the A class Inheritance. Before Transformation, her damage would be on par with Lost Dream. However, after Transforming, the power boost she gains will overwhelm even Lost Dream.

Hence, Lost Dream was rank at the lowest in the damaging ranking board. To be fair, he was still higher than Endless Starlight, Han Ying Xue, and Fantasy Sweetheart because they were tanks and healers.

After some time, the battle had started to heat up. The boss' attacks had started to pick up the pace as it used its {Tail Whip} attacks rather frequently and dealt a great deal of cumulative damage. Right then, the battle had progressed for some time and everyone's attention was starting to wane. From time to time, they would take a blast from the bomb and even take double damage from the skills.

"Hahaha! Run like the insects you are!" The boss laughed after he sent Zhang Yang flying off his feet, showing off his grand stature as a Holy tier boss.

While Zhang Yang was busy trying to strike with {God of War Devastation} and {Heavy Axe} as frequently as he could, the battle was still progressing slowly. As for the newly obtained skill {Tribulation}, he wanted to keep it quiet and not use it for the moment.

Since the boss did not possess any HP recovery skill, the party's overall DPS was not being suppressed or rather "absorbed". However, the biggest problem with the fight was the fact that Longador could use supporting attacks which will give pause to the party's killing speed. That, and the occasional running around to dispel the bomb's effects on them greatly slowed their speed. At that point, their highest DPS rating was only around 1,000,000.

Then again, it was only 30 minutes of fighting before the boss will be killed!

80%...60%...40%...

When the boss' HP had dropped down to 30%, Zhang Yang activated {Tribulation}.

For the next 10 minutes, any damage that Zhang Yang receives from the boss, would simply be reflected back at him! The best part of the skill was that the damage value that is "reflected" was not calculated by the damage that Zhang Yang receives. The skill accounted the boss' basic attack or rather, the unsuppressed damage! For example, if the boss' attack is meant to deal 200,000 damage, Zhang Yang would naturally take only around 80,000 damage after going through his Defense and damage absorption passives. {Tribulation} will not cause the 80,000 damage, but instead, it will cause the full 200,000 damage.

The reflected damage that hits back will go through the Defense of the boss and only strike him for 181,530 if the boss' defense value is 18,470.

Zhang Yang defense was far greater than the boss. Even moreso when Zhang Yang is in his Transformed state. His Defense had reached as high as 80,050. The number was so high that any player with a one-hand weapon would not deal any significant damage to Zhang Yang! Hence, Zhang Yang was not worried about the boss going berserk. In fact, he welcomed it. The more damage the boss could deal, the better the damage that Zhang Yang could reflect back to his face!

{Tribulation} would work best when the boss' HP reaches under 20% and 10%, since the boss will go berserk, increasing his attack and skill rate. Technically speaking, if Zhang Yang has a higher HP than the boss, the overall reflected damage would be so great that Zhang Yang would not need to attack to kill the boss!

Sadly, to keep the skill secret, Zhang Yang had never once used the skill in PvP battle nor the Individual Ranking battles. If his secret was known to the world, none will even come to his challenge! That, and players will device a plan to counter his skill. It was his powerful, deadly secret.

The boss raged on as his HP dropped lower and lower. Although the boss still has over 500,000,000 HP, it was not showing signs that it was aware of the damage that was being reflected back at it. How could it be?

"Wow…noobie tank. I feel bad for calling you a noob tank. Your skill is clearly out of this world!" said Wei Yan Er with admiration and a little hint of envy.

Although having {Tribulation} could reflect damage, the caster would still have to sustain damage as well. Then again, it was like having an extra hand to attack!

Chapter 732: Two-Handed Weapon

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although the boss was clearing attacking with all it has, it would never stop the party from attacking him on and on until it reaches 20%.

It was time for the killing strike!

As mentioned before, like Zhang Yang and Wei Yan Er who possess {Killing Cleave}, other classes had the skill that could increase damage, once the target has lower or equal to 20% HP. When the conditions are met, the skill can be activated to increase one's power. As such, the party had activated their "killing" skills. Wei Yan Er took a bottle of [Amateur Power Potion Transmuted Grade 10] and unleashed {Indiscriminate}. She rushed over to the boss and consumed all her Rage to cast {Killing Cleave} on the boss.

'-3,226,163!'

The damage that she had dealt that instant was so powerful that even Zhang Yang had to stop and praised the girl.

"Good job!"

"Wahahaha! This but expected of me! Haha! Now I don't feel bad for calling you noob tank! I am the wonder girl who has learned the sacred arts of the Nine Suns! I am invincible! Call me the Invincible Wonder Girl!" Wei Yan Er proudly praised herself. The smug grin on her face was then immediately wiped out by a fist from the raging boss, causing her to spin around in the air.

Luckily, she was in her Darkness Transformation state, physically, she sustained no damage. However, the fist was so powerful that the cloud of smoke that was surrounding her was blown away! It took only an instant for the smoke to return to her, though.

"Haha! Serves you right for looking down at someone!" said Fatty Han.

"Hmph! Stupid boss! You may be strong, but I am stronger! Go ahead and curse the gods for making me your opponent today!" said Wei Yan Er as she collected her composure and proudly hovered in the air. She then swooped down to the boss and kept her attacking rhythm at the highest.

That was why no one in their right mind would call Wei Yan Er a woman, even though she was already reaching 20 years old. The girl was practically a little girl on the inside! How could someone like her find a matching partner? Then again, the fact that she was extremely popular in campus, begged to differ. In campus, many young men had fallen for her charming young looks and did not care to see what her family background was. She had even managed to be elected at one of the Zhou Su University idols! Based on what Han Ying Xue had said, she was, in history, the "flattest" girl idol ever worshipped by fans! Sadly, the little girl was like a cow listening to Bach or Beethoven. Zhang Yang was initially afraid, but relaxed that the girl would never fall for the man trying to pick her up. All their efforts will only go in the right ear and exit from the left without being processed.

Romance and love would be determined by fate. When the gods have decided a partner for the little girl, she would fall for one who will accept the person she was. Right now, she is still young. There was no reason to worry for her future. Yet.

"Die! Die! Die!" the boss screamed out loud as the killing aura started to grow stronger. The flame in its eye sockets burnt brighter than before. The boss was raging since he was being defeated by a bunch of running ants! What sort of shame would a person feel!? Be it {Tail Whip} or {Death Blade}, all skills were unleashed repeatedly at an alarming rate.

Yet, the more damage it ditched out, the more it will receive from Zhang Yang. That was the reason why Zhang Yang had retained {Tribulation} until then. It was the best time and place to use it.

"Hell yeah!"

"Awesome!"

"Good job Little Yang!"

Everyone praised Zhang Yang for his skill and laughed as the boss was getting angrier.

Despite their sudden burst of jolly, their HP bars were still limited. Even though the entire party had unleashed their Transformation skills, they could not tank the rapid use of {Tail Whip}. However, it was not much trouble. If things get too dangerous for them, Han Ying Xue could simple restore everyone HP with {Milkmaid Deity's Ripple} and let the boss enjoy fighting them again from the start!

15%...10%...

When the boss' HP dropped below 10%, its attack rate was increased by one fold. Naturally, the damage reflected back on it increased as well.

{Glare of the Death God}!

Resist!

Ah…what a waste. But then again, it was not much trouble. The party's DPS power was so strong. It would not be a problem for them to kill the boss in a matter of minutes.

"Ants! Pest! I will kill you all! I will bury your bones and crush them all into sand that will build my new towers!"

"Bla bla bla! Enough with your grumbling. Don't you see that Death is coming to you soon! I want you to remember the name of your killer, that is Wei Yan Er! When you go down to hell and greet Yan Lou Wang (1), don't forget to report the manner of your death!" said Wei Yan Er while she dusted off her shoulders. It was a gesture of smugness that she had learned from watching Hollywood movies.

Daffodil Daydream giggled and said, "Yan Er dear, the boss is a western character. When he dies, he will meet Lucifer. Not Yan Lou Wang!"

"What? Oh! Meh…"

"Curse you!" cried the boss as it hurled fist after fist at the little girl. Even though the fists were as annoying as such, it was merely an act of desperation.

It was horribly easy for the party to quickly end his life.

The massive boney structure crumbled apart and fell to the ground in pieces. Longador's voice echoed through the land when he died. "The God of Death shall revive me…You will see me…again…Kill…death…"

A bright light glowed around his body before dimming down and dropping the loot and experience points to the party.

"Stupid boss. If you do come back, I'll kick your boney butt with my Celestial tier axe! Haha!" Wei Yan Er kicked the now lifeless skull of the boss with her might, to release her pent-up rage.

"Hey! Enough wasting time. Little girl, go and do what you love most."

"Heeheehee~" As expected of a little girl, when asked to do something she likes, she would do it with a flash.

Unexpectedly, the boss had dropped two Holy tier equipment, four Ethereal tier equipment, one [Skill Point Crystal, three High grade [Aura Stone, and one skill book. It was the [Aura Stone] that no one had expected to see from the boss drop.

The [Skill Point Crystal] was distributed accordingly and after major discussion, and it was decided that Zhang Yang will take all the [Aura Stones] to upgrade [Vitality Aura]. As such, the entire party could enjoy having an additional 40% Vitality boost. It was extremely useful for both boss fight and PvP battles. Although Wei Yan Er's {Strength Aura} and Han Ying Xue's {Life Aura} were equally important, those will come later.

The two Holy tier equipment were weapons. One of them was a black long blade which was the same as the boss. The other had a one-handed sword which had a half-opaque, blue colored blade.

Wei Yan Er first posted the long blade to the party.

[Deleia, Death Scythe] (Holy, Two-Handed Axe)

Weapon Attack: 23,810 - 33,810

Attack Interval: 3.8 seconds

DPS: 7,582

{Level 6 Socket 1}

{Level 6 Socket 2}

Equip: Increases damage by 40%.

Equip: Increases Critical strike rate by 10%

Equip: On a successful attack, grants a chance to direct reap the soul of the target, dealing 30,000 Chaos Damage.

Level Requirement: 180

Special: Level Requirement reduced by 20 Levels.

"Wuuu~~~" Wei Yan Er wept as she looked at the weapon in her hand and the axe on the floor. "Why must it be this way! Why must you make me choose?! I want both!"

"Nah ah! Only one."

"Grr… Fine! Noobie tank can have the new weapon. I am but a kind hearted girl. Plus, I've developed some feelings for this one right here."

Everyone laughed when she said she was kind-hearted, for everyone knew that she was the exact opposite. If you hang out with her long enough, even a monkey could read her face and know what she'll do next. The reason why she would not want the new weapon is because she did not want to spend more money socketing her equipment!

It's the characteristically stingy little girl!

Since only Zhang Yang and Wei Yan Er were the only players in the party who could use two-handed weapons, Zhang Yang took it after Wei Yan Er gave it up. Sadly, the Sword of Purging Devourer was unable to transfer its powerful effect to another weapon. Zhang Yang had outgrown the almighty weapon.

It was really hard to believe that the weapon had been stuck with him for more than two years. In all MMORPGs, players swap weapons all the time. To be honest, there would definitely be more than one weapon used for two years. Then again, two years was really the upper limit. If the game developers had not released any new expansions of the game and increased the Level Cap, the strongest equipment will remain until the end of time. For example, the forgotten new class called the Shaman.

Naturally, the Sword of Purging Devourer was extremely rare for it had seals that can be broken to allow the weapon to grow stronger. That or the weapon would have been discarded long before the dinner of the same day.

"D*mn son. New weapon huh! The boss is gonna be OP af!" said Endless Starlight with admiration. Since he did not have special Inheritance effect which allowed him to equip two-handed weapons, he could only settle for the designated weapon for his class. Still, even though his equipment was good, his DPS contribution to the party overall DPS was extremely low.

"Imagine that. OP HP and OP DPS. What makes the guild master then? A god? Hahahaha!"

"Contain your excitement there, boy! There's one more sword for you!" said Wei Yan Er.

[Frost Bane] (Holy, One-Handed Sword)

Weapon Attack: 12,330 – 20,330

Attack Interval: 2.8 seconds

DPS: 5,832

{Level 6 Socket 1}

{Level 6 Socket 2}

Equip: Increases damage dealt by 40%

Equip: Increases Critical strike rate by 10%

Equip: Grants a chance to freeze a target for 3 seconds on every attack.

Level Requirement: 180

Special: Level Requirement reduced by 20 Levels.

The sword was strong and powerful if it is used by a quick sword user like Bandit. Even though the weapon attack of a one-handed weapon and a two-handed weapon differs greatly, the effect the weapon has does not. For example, the additional equipment effect for both Frost Bane and the Scythe was the same.

Bandits have quick attack interval speed, hence, they could gain an additional effect compared to the other classes. Both Endless Starlight and Sun Xin Yu could use one-handed swords but since Sun Xin Yu had the S class Inheritance, which grants her the bonus 5% Critical chance and damage, the priority was then given to her. Endless Starlight's class job only applied to Hammer.

As such, clenching his broken soul with pain, Endless Starlight gave up the sword to Sun Xin Yu. Wei Yan Er walked to Endless Starlight and pats his back to cheer him up. "Don't be sad for this. Next time, I'll find one one-handed hammer for you!"

The last item was the skill book, which was given to Daffodil Daydream. It was [Superior Inferno] which was her skill.

[Superior Inferno: Increases Inferno damage by 30% and grants a stunning effect. Lasts for 3 seconds.

Inferno is a skill that is only available to Pyromancers. With the caster as the center point, a wave of flame is shot out to 15 meters around the caster, dealing 100% magic fire attack. Now that she had obtained the upgrade, she could deal an additional 30% damage and a 3 seconds stun!

After distributing all the items, the boss' corpse disappeared as well. Like any other boss, if players do not loot all the item, the dead body of the boss would not disappear. They would not be able to continue with the quest, then!

[Goblin's High Explosive Bomb – 3rd Gen. Prototype] (Quest Item, Usable)

Use: Place the bomb and skedaddle guys! Technically, the bomb should explode after 10 seconds. But the bomb was contracted by the infamous Goblins. Their productions have always been notorious for being "overly" powerful. Perhaps you should be extra cautious of the bomb!

Note: Tick Tock Tick Tock. KABOOM? Explosion that you can trust! Goblin Tech Incorporation. The explosive that you can trust.

Chapter 733: Ancient Spiritual Beast King

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang planted the boss and quickly signaled the retreat. However, only after 2 seconds, the bomb exploded prematurely. The explosion was so strong that everyone, including the heavily armored Zhang Yang was blasted away like paper planes in a storm. Worst of all, the explosion almost took off all their HP.

What a useless Goblin tech…

Everyone stopped their tracks to rest and recover their HP. Fatty Han had panicked at the last second and quickly morphed into his bat form to suck on Endless Starlight's HP.

The quest had ended, yet their Transformations had over 1 hour of active duration remaining. Since it would be waste to let it expire, the party decided to go their own way to grind. After the Transformations ended, they regrouped back at Souron's Castle and teleported back to White Jade Castle to submit the quest.

'Ding! You have completed the quest: Destroy the Mithril Refinery. Obtained 10,000,000 Experience Points, 500 Military Points!'

Everyone got their reward successfully and was not impressed by the experience points. It was rather bad since 10 million experience points was only the same as two elite tier monsters. Still, they were all satisfied with the 500 Military points given.

"Haha! Not bad for some scrawny humans," said Gulaj. He then stood on a chair and said, "I have some bad news. Even though the Spectre have lost their main production of Mithril, they were still able to buy from…*ahem*. They were still able to obtain their Mithril from my brethren. The production of Darkness Fall is still going on!"

"Heroes. Do not fret. There is still hope for the land. Right now, you can still put a stop to Darkness Fall by destroying their Energy Crystal Processing Base Factory! Without enough Energy Crystals, they will be unable to continue their research for Darkness Falls!"

'Ding! Gulaj has a quest for you: Destroy the Energy Crystal Processing Base Factory. Will you accept it?'

What treachery! How could the goblins be selling their Mithril to the enemy!? What a money-minded bastard! Their greed for gold was far worse than the Dwarves!

Everyone nodded their heads to accept the quest.

[Destroying the Energy Crystal Processing Base Factory] (Difficulty Level: S)

Description: Gulaj wants you to destroy the Energy Crystal Processing Base Factory of the Spectre. By destroying their base, they were unable to continue their research to finish Darkness Falls. According to Gulaj, the Energy Crystal Processing Base Factory is located in the Antijar Basin of the Volcanic Dragon Mountain. Be warned, the Spectres have reinforced their defenses. You must bring a team of strong adventures to survive.

Participant Limit: 10

Progress: Destroy the Energy Crystal Processing Base Factory

Quest Reward: 20,000,000 Experience Points, 500 Military Points

"Here. Take his. I have made some modifications to it myself. I can assure you that it will not be like the last time," said Gulaj as he dropped a stack of rolled explosive that looks exactly like the one you can see in Looney Tunes. Acme, to be exact.

Everyone rolled their eyes. So what if Gulaj has personally modified it? It would just be the same! The only difference it had was the name!

Just when the party was about to leave for the quest, a group of women players came to the NPC. They were the elites of Crimson Rage, including Snow Seeker. It would seem that she, Mellow Venom, and Thorny Rose were the main attacking force for Crimson Rage. At that moment, they had just reached Level 160 and probably was rushing over to start the Spectre Invasion quest line.

"Hello, guild master Zhan Yu. What kind of quest did you receive? Would it coincide with ours?" said Snow Seeker with such elegance that she was Zhang Yang elder sister. It was extremely polite and sweet yet Zhang Yang knew better. She was merely acting that way. If anyone falls for her sweet talks, they would be completely swallowed by her!

Wei Yan Er was the fastest then and had already shared the quest description to her. After a long, hard look, Snow Seeker laughed bitterly and said, "Ah. It seems that there will be a problem. It's the same as ours."

Everyone was puzzled. They knew that they had only just killed the boss for the previous quest. It was impossible that the system would refresh the quest when some else receives the same quest. Hence, Zhang Yang reached a conclusion. The previous quest will only unlock the subsequent quests which could then be taken by anyone. There will never be a case where one side will be the best. That will eliminate all contenders. It would be fair since if a party is unable to complete the quest, they could never proceed any further. To be fair, if the party fails to destroy the Mithril Refinery, the Spectre would have won, then, wouldn't they?

Hence, the last battle with Angus required players to complete all the quests until Angus himself is forced to show up on the battlefield. That, or the minions of Spectre will keep spawning in towns to disrupt peace. Nothing too damaging, but just enough of a bother for players to get off their *sses and solve.

Using the quest unlocking system, every player will have a chance to try out the quest even if they could never succeed in beating it. Hence, they will gain familiarity with either the monsters or the final boss fights until they could actually complete it. That is, if they were strong enough to endure the repetition.

Yet, the main story quest for the Spectre Invasion was available for all, but could only be completed by one party, and that party will be the only party receiving the reward. Technically, there was no limit as to how many parties could try to defeat the boss.

Two parties stood still, 20 pairs of eyeballs glared at each other awkwardly. When Wei Yan Er made a sudden jerk, the Crimson Rage party responded by quickly taking out their [Teleportation Scrolls] to leave the place immediately. Lone Desert Smoke followed later, a split second slower. Only one party could receive the reward. That would only mean that the quest completion will be a race! A race of countless parties around the world that had reached Level 160! The competition is hot and running.

Zhang Yang was the only one amongst them who chose to stay at White Jade Castle to socket his new equipment. After enhancing them, he would then teleport to Han Ying Xue using the [Lover's Charm]. A Level 6 Strength Gemstone could provide 200 Strength. Same goes for Dexterity. By enhancing the Gemstone, Zhang Yang could increase the value by 50%. Since the equipment could socket two Gemstone at a time, that would be 600 attribute points. Be it Strength or Dexterity, both were fairly important for Zhang Yang and Sun Xin Yu!

After equipping his new weapon, Zhang Yang's attack power was at 154,194 – 182,194 after calculations. Since {Vitality Aura} had reached its max level, the bonus it provided was now up to 40% Vitality. Even though weapons will not provide Vitality points, his HP was already boosted to 1,140,490. And that was only in his normal state!

Zhang Yang was quick with his hands during socketing and quickly teleported back to the party and found Crimson Rage's party was slower. They were frantically chasing them.

Snow Seeker was determined to stick to Zhang Yang's party - no matter what. Since the quest had a participant limit of only 10 players, if the quest i similar to the previous quest, Snow Seeker would still have a chance to plant the bomb first after Zhang Yang defeats the boss.

Main story quests had a Unique attribute to them. Once they have been completed by a party, the quest will automatically be deleted from all players who have accepted the quest.

The problem lay with both Zhang Yang and Snow Seeker, or rather Lone Desert Smoke and Crimson Rage. During the fierce battle in Souron's Castle, Crimson Rage was the one guild that stood by Lone Desert Smoke till the end. They were a great help to Lone Desert Smoke. That goes without saying. Hence, Lone Desert Smoke would never turn their backs to them or play them out!

Snow Seeker had anticipated that, and pressed on the chance that they could still obtain the quest reward. Even though technically both guilds had a 50% chance to complete the mission, in reality, Crimson Rage only had a small 10% chance to overthrow Lone Desert Smoke.

Naturally, Snow Seeker was no god. She could not have known the difficulty of the boss and that Zhang Yang's party had already used their Transformation skill. Toe to toe, Snow Seeker's party would have the upper hand since all of their party members had their Transformation skill ready for the final boss. However, based on the conditions of the battlefield, they might need a few days to clear all the monsters, just like the Refinery. That time alone was enough for Zhang Yang and his party to finish their Transformation cooldown. Hence, Snow Seeker's plan will still go on.

After flying for 10 hours, the party had finally left Mar Gaia Forest, through the Forest of Clouds and entered the Antijar Basin. The party took 3 to 4 hours more to reach their final destination, the Volcanic Dragon Mountain.

"Pfft. How does the mountain look like a dragon?" said Endless Starlight, unimpressed when he saw the scenery. The mountains were covered with red maple trees that dyed the entire landscape with a deep crimson red. However, only the color matched its name, not the shape or size. There was nothing of the mountains that depicted a dragon.

"Don't mind that. Find the factory!"

At that moment, Lone Desert Smoke was still leading, with the girls of Crimson Rage far behind. Zhang Yang reached the peak of the mountain and spotted many elemental beings. There were stone, fire, water, and air elemental beings all busy roaming around on a mushroom-like structure.

Zhang Yang selected the structure and was shocked to see that the structure was a living being!

[Spiritual Beast] (Elite, Elemental Being)

Level: 175

HP: 50,000,000

Defense: 10,000

Magic Attack: 60,175 – 90,175

Skills:

[Light Energy Ray: Blasts out a destructive ray and deals 200% magic Natural damage to a target. Range: 50 meters. Instant. Cooldown: 2 seconds.

[Exploding Energy Crystal: Hurls Energy Crystals from its body to all targets within 50 meters. Deals 100% magic Natural damage. Stuns the targets for 3 seconds.

Note: The Spiritual Beast can naturally produce Energy Crystals via combining the light of the sun and Carbon Dioxide. Only Elemental Beings and the Spiritual Beast are close. Any other beings that attempts to get close will lead to his self-induce explosion. Permanently stationary.

"Oh! So the Energy Crystal that we have been using to power the Teleportation points comes from this big *ss dickhead!" Fatty Han exclaimed.

The man was never one to sugarcoat his words. Hence, the women around him were greatly offended. Of which, he did not give a single f*ck.

Zhang Yang scouted the area and could not find a boss or a point of indication of where to plant the bomb. Zhang Yang sighed heavily as he realized that this mission will be the same as the previous one. Only by killing monsters, will the quest proceed.

"So, where do we start?" asked Hundred Shots.

There were four large areas, separated by elemental beings.

"Let's start with the Air elementals first." Said Zhang Yang. Fire and Water Elemental being will surely be magic attack type. Earth elementals will have superior defense, hence, the most logical and easiest target to start with would be the Air elementals.

Now, Crimson Rage was separated from Zhang Yang. The girls chose to attack the water elementals first, but will immediately change their position if the boss does appear.

Sadly, unknown to Zhang Yang, Fatty Han had betrayed Lone Desert Smoke by succumbing to the draws of the lustful woman of Crimson Rage. He had offered up the information of the quest of the Mithril Refinery to them, allowing the girls to understand everything they needed to know about the mission.

Chapter 734: A 'Fun' Situation to All Parties Indeed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After getting down from his pet mount, Zhang Yang went up to the head of his party. He threw his {Spear of Obliteration} as the signal to charge.

"Mourd'za leidenla!" the aggro of the two spirits were locked to each other. When one of them was lured over, the other one would follow. They were speaking in a strange and unexplainable language while they were charging towards Zhang Yang. These spirit beings were probably as tall as 5 meters. Their entire bodies were formed from a mixture of different gases. Some of the gases were gray, while some of them were white. These spiritual beings had two hands but no legs. They were levitating around mid-air.

[Volcanic Dragon Mountain Air Spirit] (Elite, Elemental)

Level: 170

HP: 5,100,000

Defence: 7,000

Melee Attack: 40,822 – 60,822

Skills:

[Jetstream: Causes 100% Melee Attack of Physical Damage on a target and blasts the target 10 meters backward.

[Self-destruct: Detonates upon death. Causes 50,000 Nature Damage to all targets within the range of 100 meters.

[Recuperate: If there happens to be a Spiritual Beast in the vicinity of 50 meters from the monster, it can flee into the Spiritual Beast to recuperate its own HP.

Because the monsters had the capability to blow themselves up, the party could not afford to lure too many of them at the same time. Well, the players could time the intervals between each of the monster's death. However, the purpose of luring a bunch of monsters over would be to kill them all as quickly as possible. If players want to plan out the interval between the deaths of each monster that they encounter, they would not be able to lure many monsters and kill them all at once. In simpler words, killing monsters all at once with AoE attacks would not let players control which monsters to kill first because AoE attacks would just bombard whichever monsters that were within the effective range of the Skills. With every monster detonating themselves after they die, it would make the entire situation to go out of hand if they ever try to kill so many of them at the same time.

Hence, it would be better to lure a little lesser of them monsters before letting themselves all out on the monsters. Zhang Yang had to be aware that Wei Yan Er would lose herself, once her excitement on killing monsters takes over her sanity. She might just go on and kill everything, causing everything to explode at the same time. Her action would surely lead to everyone's death.

Elite Tier monsters could be extremely dangerous for normal players. However, they could never post any threat to Zhang Yang and his gang. It did not take long at all for Zhang Yang and his party to take out these monsters. However, their {Self-destruct} were really powerful. Each explosion would cause 50,000 Nature damage to each of Zhang Yang's party members. There were a total of 22 targets if the Battle Companions and Pets were included. So each explosion managed to deal as much damage as 1,100,000 damage!

"What the hell! Terrorist! Bombers!" Everyone began to laugh.

After clearing a few more waves of these monsters, the party arrived before a Spiritual Beast's giant mushroom cap. They lured 3 Volcanic Dragon Air Spirits at the same time. However, right before monsters were about to die, they turned around and hid in the 'rod' of the mushroom cap.

Instantly, the Spiritual Beast that seemed to be dead was suddenly activated. It shot a beam of ray towards the entire gang.

Everyone could see the process with their own eyes. The three Volcanic Dragon Air Spirits were inside the 'rod' of the mushroom cap. They looked like three extra moles that suddenly appeared in the 'rod'! Meanwhile, the HP bars of the three monsters were recovering at a rapid pace.

"What the… so this is like a healing rod for them?"

Well, this 'rod' packed more of just a punch in the art of healing! Not only could it heal many targets at the same time, it also had very strong attacks!

However, even though this mushroom cap 'rod' had a very high amount of HP, it had a fatal weakness. It cannot move around like normal monsters do! It was just planted firmly on the ground! If players could not defeat it, they could just retreat by backing off. Players would not need to worry that this powerful Spiritual Beast would pursue and kill them.

Although this Spiritual Beast was labeled as an Elite Tier, its HP and Attack were much more powerful than a Mythical Tier boss. It was not easy for the players to take it head-on. However, even though this monster had over 50,000,000 HP, Zhang Yang and his gang could deal over 900,000 DPS even without activating their Inheritance Transformation. It would only take about a minute to kill this monster.

However, it seemed that things were not as simple as they thought. The 3 Volcanic Dragon Air Spirits came out of the 'rod' with their HP bar full again!

Before they could take out the Spiritual Beast, it would be futile even if they try to take out the three monsters first. These monsters could just jump back into the 'rod' to fully recover their HP bars again, every time they are about to die. Therefore, everyone aimed their attacks at the Spiritual Beast first.

The Spiritual Beast did not just sit on its *ss, waiting to meet its own demise, of course. It began to throw out some crystalized Spiritual Energy into its surroundings. Those crystalized Spiritual Energy immediately exploded right after they landed. Instantly, the attacks caused quite a number of damage to the gang! Han Ying Xue and Sweetheart Fantasy began to heal everyone as quickly as they could. Well, the three monsters would be detonating themselves when their HP bars are emptied. There would definitely be casualties if their HP bars are not healed back up.

After running around in the surroundings like cats and dogs, they finally took care of the giant fellow and the three little monsters. Everyone was exhausted after the busy session. Truth to be told, the correct way of taking care of that situation was to lure the three little monsters 50 meters away from the Spiritual Beast. By doing so, the three monsters would not have the opportunity to heal themselves at all.

As for the Spiritual Beast, it would depend on whether the players want to take it out or not. Well, the system designed the monsters to stay in one spot. Maybe the players could just plant a bomb on the monster and blow it to kingdom come. There was actually no need to engage the monster at all.

However, Zhang Yang and his party have been known to be extremely powerful. Even though it was quite troublesome to take on the Spiritual Beast, they would have to take the long way around if they don't kill it. That would cost them a lot more time than just killing it. As long as they stay cautious while dealing with the Spiritual Beast, nothing should go wrong.

Zhang Yang and his gang wiped out any monsters that got in their way. However, the monsters were too numerous. Zhang Yang and his gang took one day to clean up a quarter of the entire Air Spirit Region. On the second day and the third day, the two parties of Lone Desert Smoke and Crimson Rage had been camping at the site. The number of monsters in that area was just too abundant. Furthermore, there were no other players interrupting them to take their share. Therefore, the two parties managed to enjoy the abundant Experience Points from killing hordes of monsters!

-- the area had implemented a mirroring technology. Those players who had not reached Level 160 and had not received the quest would not be able to see nor enter this battle area.

However, on the fourth day, a third party had entered the area -- Land of Savages from the India Region!

They did not try to pick a fight with the other two parties. They chose to clear out the monsters in the Fire Spirit Region. It did not take long before a fourth party entered the vicinity. It was the Hell Family from Europe Region. They chose to clear the Rock Spirit Region. Right after that, the fifth and the sixth parties had also entered the 'arena'. They were the Justice League from the America Region and the Wolf Warrior from the Africa Region.

As the entire region was too big to begin with, the Air Spirit Region itself was enough to have 10 parties killing monsters in the vicinity, without having to compete with each other. Therefore, none of the parties provoked any other party into a fight. Everything was peaceful among the parties so far. They were just minding their own businesses -- no one would want to engage in a battle that would not benefit them at all. Well, high Tier players rarely engaged in battle with each other. Meanwhile, normal players would have raised their weapons and charged at the other players from their enemy Region without any hesitation.

However, when a boss or a location of a countdown bombing is spawned, the peacefulness between these high Tier players would be broken right away. When that happens, everyone would not be able to avoid a fierce battle among themselves. After all, only one party could complete the main story quest.

On the fifth day and the sixth day, more and more parties entered the Spiritual Region. Currently, only the top Tier players managed to reach Level 160 and enter this region. If there are any conflicts happening between them, the battle would become as fierce as it would be whenever there is a Territory Conquest!

Meanwhile, the current situation did not have a 3-hour timeframe, like Territory Conquests did. There was no time limit at all in such a battle in this region. Furthermore, it still remained unknown whether there would be a boss in the region or not. Even if the players are a little bit weaker than the others, they could just lay low until a boss is spawned. When the others are busy battling the boss, they could just interrupt the battle and kill those players. With the boss's 'help', they should be able to take out their opponents without much of a problem.

Even though none of them had provoked any battle among themselves, everyone knew that a high degree storm was about to explode soon. The moment when a boss is spawned, everyone would start killing each other.

As expected, more and more parties were entering the region on the seventh and the eighth day. They were all top Tier players from different Regions as well.

'Ang!' In the morning of the ninth day, a long and muffled roar echoed throughout the entire region. It was ear-piercingly loud! Right in the middle on top of the Volcanic Dragon Mountain, a gigantic Spiritual Beast was suddenly spawned. Compared to those Spiritual Beast that were only 50 meters tall, this mushroom capped Spiritual Beast was approximately thousands of meters tall! It looked like a gigantic mushroom had grown on top of the Volcanic Dragon Mountain. The mushroom cap had reached out to a radius of 500 meters wide. The size of that cap had completely covered the entire mountain.

[Ancient Spiritual Beast King] (Holy, Elemental)

Level: 180

HP: 18,000,000,000

Defence: 18,470

Magic Attack: 85,228 – 125,228

[Skills:

[Light Energy Ray: Shoots out a beam of destructive ray towards the target, causing 200% Magic Attack of Nature Damage to the target. Range: 1,000 meters. Instant chanting. Cooldown: 2 seconds.

[Timed Energy Charge: Throws out its spiritual energy into its surrounding, causing 200,000 Nature Damage to all targets in 1,000 meters. All targets will be stunned for 3 seconds.

[Energy Mine: Plants a spiritual energy on the ground. When a player gets too near to the spiritual energy, the spiritual energy will explode and causes 150,000 Nature Damage to all targets within the range of 30-meter radius of the blast.

[Elemental Constitution: Recovers 1% once in every 30 seconds. The amount of HP recovery will not be affected by any other effects.

Note: As the only remaining ancient Spiritual Beast, this Spiritual Beast has a gigantic body mass that would send fear into the hearts of men. Its only weakness is that it could only move in and out from the hole it dug itself out of.

The moment when the boss was spawned, all parties immediately stopped what they were doing. However, none of them went up to battle the boss.

A Holy Tier boss was a disastrous threat to any of the parties at the current stage of the game. Meanwhile, the first party that engages themselves in battle with the boss would immediately become the primary target of the other parties as well. The other parties would take advantage to take out their competitors, without a doubt in their minds. So whoever who goes up first would be wiped up in a matter of seconds!

From that moment on, none of the parties moved out. All of them were waiting for someone to make their first move. However, the boss would not stay idle either, even though no one was attacking it. After all, this mushroom capped Spiritual Beast had over 1,000 meters of attack range. That would also mean that its aggro range would reach out by 1,000 meters!

Instead of the players making their first move on the boss, the boss launched its first attack out. It shot out a beam of ray towards a Priest from a party that hailed from the Europe Region. A damage of 220,000 instantly took away half of the Priest's HP bar! Shoof! Another beam of ray was shot out right after that. Well, because none of the players were attacking the boss, the mushroom head did not have a specific target to focus on. So it was randomly shooting its attacks out at anyone who was on its aggro list.

So now, the real question had changed. Should they fight or should they escape!?

Without a further moment of hesitation, most of the parties had made up their mind. They began to fly away from the boss on their Flying Mounts. Well, who would be stupid enough to charge in and die?

However, everyone who tried to flee had discovered a very awkward situation. The area of 1,000-meter radius around the boss had been cut off by a layer of invisible air wall! In other words, whoever who was within the aggro range of the boss had been trapped! There was no way that they could escape from the boss now! Players who were outside the vicinity could not get in while the players within the vicinity could not get out!

Obviously, this was the battle stage. Without taking out the boss or the boss taking out all the players, the air wall would stay!

Well, that was awkward as f*ck. It would not even matter whether you hit the boss or not. The boss would just come over and hit you! Furthermore, the boss had its trustworthy {Light Energy Ray} that could allow the boss to focus its attack on one target. Then the boss also had its {Energy Mine} and {Timed Energy Charge} to deal AoE attacks to the players in its surroundings. As long as you're engaged in the battle with the boss, you'd be the one suffering!

Chapter 735: A Seize

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The boss did not give everyone within its attack range a moment to hesitate. It began to throw countless of small pinkish crystalized square boxes to its surroundings. It did not take long before the entire space of the area was filled with these small pinkish crystalized square boxes. Suddenly, every single one of those crystals exploded. It was the boss' {Timed Energy Charge}!

Boom!

Violent currents of energy whirled across the entire area. Everyone could see that space itself was being torn apart by the whirling force of the energy flow with their own eyes. A crack that looked like a black hole appeared right in the middle of the air. Everyone in the vicinity sustained over 200,000 basic damage! That wave of attack was fatal to most players in the surroundings. Well, a DPS player that is well equipped with a full set of Level 150 Ethereal Tier equipment could only have over 400,000 HP. Meanwhile, Spellcasters like Priests would have even lower amount of HP, even if they have a full set of Level 150 Ethereal Tier equipment on them! They would most likely have about 340,000 HP, give or take!

Although everyone in the vicinity had mounted on their Mounts to boost their Maximum HP, how many of them would be able to have a full set of Ethereal Tier equipment? It would have been very fortunate if they even have a Mythical Tier Pet Mount. Furthermore, mounting on a Mythical Tier pet could boost one's Maximum HP up by 200,000 HP, at best. A player would only have at most, 600,000 HP after that.

Even if that is the case, the players would still be suffering a great deal of damage after sustaining a total of 200,000 damage.

Everyone was an easy prey to the boss now. If they do not fight back now, they would be as good as dead! Furthermore, they would not be able to rejoin the boss battle if they ever get killed. The main reason being, that there was an invisible air wall surrounding the entire area now. If any of the party manages to hold their ground until the very end, they might even get to kill the boss and claim everything for themselves!

Therefore, all parties within the vicinity decided to strike back at the boss. They began to bombard the boss with everything they had.

The body mass of the boss was just too big for anyone to comprehend. Its mushroom head had already occupied an area over 500-meter radius wide. Therefore, there was no way that anyone would have missed the target. The entire target was even bigger than what everyone could see!

"We'll be attacking from the top!" Zhang Yang shouted. Then, he led his party and flew towards the top of the mushroom cap. A large number of players began to launch their attacks around the bottom of the mushroom cap as aggressively as they could.

Zhang Yang did not intend to fix the aggro of the boss onto him. However, his damage output was just too powerful. Furthermore, his passive Skill {Shield Oath} even provided him a 20% additional aggro value. Therefore, it did not take long before he became the primary target of the boss. The boss began to spam its {Light Energy Ray} on Zhang Yang!

Fortunately for Zhang Yang, his Defence was high enough for him to hang on. Each {Light Energy Ray} could only deal approximately 140,000 damage to him. Furthermore, he had Han Ying Xue supporting him from his rear. She managed to heal him up good, all by herself. Other than that, Fantasy Sweetheart and a few other Healing-type Battle Companions were also supporting Zhang Yang from the rear as well.

None of them had activated their Inheritance Transformation just yet. That was mainly because, no one understood how powerful the other parties are, and how long would the boss battle take. If the boss battle takes longer than 2 hours, then their effort would become pointless if they activate their Inheritance Transformations a little too early. They would end up doing the heavy work for the other parties instead!

Everyone was on the same page, hitting hard. However, everyone understood as well that when the HP bar of the boss is reduced to a certain level, this fragile 'bond' between them would be broken in an instant. Everyone would be competing against each other to be the one slaying the boss. After all, everyone was striving to be the ones who complete the main story quest of the game!

Fortunately, even though the Ancient Spiritual Beast King was a Holy Tier boss, it was not deemed as one of those super powerful World Tier bosses! World Tier bosses would definitely have the capability of bombarding everyone with countless waves of AoE attacks! They would not have any AoE Skill that have a long cooldown of 30 seconds!

Long before this, Zhang Yang had encountered a boss named 'Martyr Unduin'. Although Martyr Unduin was just a Gray-Silver Tier boss, it was a World Tier boss. With only one of its {Shin Fire Ball}, the boss managed to torch the entire ground up without even have to wait for the Skill to cooldown!

If this boss could also spam its {Timed Energy Charge} without the need to wait for any cooldown period, everyone in the vicinity would be wiped up, in a matter of minutes if they do not activate their Inheritance Transformations.

Upon battling on for 5 to 6 minutes, the boss's HP bar had been reduced by 10%. Judging from that pace, the boss would be taken out in about an hour! Furthermore, no one had activated their Inheritance Transformations just yet. If everyone activates their Inheritance Transformation in the first place, they could have taken down the boss twice as fast as they could now!

However, everyone knew how to do the math. Therefore, players began to activate their Inheritance Transformation the moment their HP bars were healed back to their full state!

Suddenly, there were at least 20 players hopping off from the back of their Flying Mounts. They were flying with their own powers. Those players were either holding a Class A Inheritance or a Class S Inheritance.

The HP bar of the boss was reducing at an insanely fast pace. However, instead of calling the boss a beast, the boss looked more like a plant. The boss only struck out its {Light Energy Ray} and {Timed Energy Charge} even though it was whacked up badly by the players. Sometimes, it would also activate its {Energy Mine,} trying to get players to step on them.

At the beginning of the boss battle, the boss was a threat that everyone could not ignore. However, now that everyone had cast aside their prejudices for the moment to focus their attacks on the boss, the boss was now facing a large bunch of top Tier players all around the world! It was a combination of powerful formation that no Region could form. Every single high Tier player from all around the world were together in this! After everyone activates their Inheritance Transformations, they obtained a large amount of boost on their amount of HP. Because of that, the threat that the boss posed in the beginning of the boss battle had been minimized.

The higher the HP amount, the higher the Margin of Error that players would have. They could also give their Healers more time to heal, if they had more HP. Because of that, it would become harder for the boss to decrease the number of players in the boss battle.

In the blink of an eye, the mushroom head boss had become so pathetic to look at. Its mushroom head was bombarded with players' attacks so badly that it looked like the surface of the moon! There were countless holes all over it!

80%, 70%, 60%!

The HP bar of the boss was decreasing even faster now! The boss could not help it, because most of the high Tier players had activated their Inheritance Transformations now. Even though the boss had insanely powerful attacks, it had an AoE Skill that could not be triggered frequently. Just imagine it. If the boss could activate its {Light Energy Ray} once every two seconds, the situation would have become very different now. The players would still be struggling, even if they activate their Inheritance Transformations!

40%, 30%, 20%!

When the boss's HP had entered its 'Killing Cleave' stage, finally, there were a small number of parties who could no longer hold their heads low. They broke the fragile 'bond' of alliance among the players and started slicing up their 'teammates'!

The first party that went rogue was a party from the Africa Region. They launched their ferocious attacks on another party from Australia Region that was positioned closest to them. Because of that, the PvP matches began to bloom across the battlefield. Things became messy in no time at all! Well, it was actually an expected outcome. The boss would only drop a few powerful pieces of equipment. Even one party would complain that the loots were far from enough for a single party! Furthermore, there could only be one party that completes the main story quest. The only way to 100% secure that was to eliminate all opponents in the vicinity.

Someone had started the war. So, the others followed. More and more parties began to attack the other parties around them. As long as they were not from the same party, just kill them!

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang and his party did not make any move on the other players. They were very focused on bringing the boss down, Because the boss had {Elemental Constitution} that could let the boss recover a certain amount of HP over the time, they could not afford to let the boss stay idle and heal itself back up! However, everyone was reserving their powerful Skills that had a longer cooldown period for the moment. They planned to use them only at the last possible moment right before the boss dies.

As the battlefield was getting more intense in every passing second, everyone began to get serious. They no longer held back their powerful Skills. They began to activate their super Skills and Spells on their opponents. The visual effects of the Skills bombarding out was just stunning! If anyone is just there to enjoy the view of it, that person would be able to enjoy a spectacular view!

The party battles had begun. The rate of the boss losing its HP began to slow down. If the AoE Skill of the boss could be described as a drizzle before that, then the boss's AoE attacks had suddenly become extremely threatening! Players were slaughtering among themselves while their HP bars were dropping like hell. Even Healers could no longer keep their HP bars up anymore. If they are not careful, they could be taken out by the boss's AoE attacks all of a sudden!

"Zhan Yu!"

Suddenly, a loud roar was heard. 3 parties flew up to Zhang Yang all of a sudden. They were parties from the Justice League, the Dark Palace and the Undying Souls. Every one of them was glaring at Zhang Yang with murderous intent. Obviously, they had come up with a deal that they would be sticking up together until they have taken down Lone Desert Smoke.

"Zhan Yu, you really have a lot of enemies, huh? Haha!" Another party had appeared. They came up to the Lone Desert Smoke -- it was the party from Paragon that was led by God's Left Hand!

Among these 4 parties, there were two players with Class S Inheritance and at least 3 players with Class A Inheritance! Their combined strength had definitely exceeded the strength of Zhang Yang's party! If they really go head-on with the four parties, Zhang Yang and his party would definitely lose without a doubt!

"Guildmaster Zhan Yu! Need a hand?" Snow Seeker suddenly appeared and smiled. She had led her army of ladies over and stood side by side with the Lone Desert Smoke.

Real friends would not only add icing on the cake. They would offer timely help or support!

Fatty Han immediately screamed, "Ladies from Crimson Rage! You're the best! I'm willing to shoot for you until I die!"

Piak!

Everyone began to whack him up for good. They were aiming their fists and palms at his face. Instantly, Fatty Han was struck to the point that he spun in the air over and over again.

"4 VS 2! Zhan Yu, you still have a small chance of winning, don't you think?" God's Left Hand said coldly. He had been pursued by Zhang Yang before. He even got killed by Zhang Yang and dropped his previous broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation]. So, of course he had a score to settle with Zhang Yang.

"Then count us in!" Suddenly, Dusk Phoenix waved her hand and all of her members of the Hell Family went up and stood side by side with the Lone Desert Smoke as well. Although everyone from Hell Family was not willing to do it, who would dare to defy the order of a real-life princess then?

"Dusk Phoenix!" God's Left Hand was infuriated. Then he roared in rage and said, "Don't forget! You're also one of the parties from Europe Region!"

"Cut that crap of yours! So you're saying that you can join forces with the North America Region and the Japan-Korea Region, but I can't join forces with China Region? Oh my pathetic, little God's Left Hand, do you have a stroke or something?" Dusk Phoenix glared at God's Left Hand with rage and said. God's Left Hand was so infuriated that he was trembling in rage.

Fatty Han just got up from being whacked. He immediately scratched his head and said, "God's Left hand? Hehe, from what I can see, you're jerking off so often that you're godly indeed! We should just call you God's Masturbating Left Hand! Because it's very obvious that you've been jerking off too much that your IQ has decreased, no, deceased, sorry!"

Upon hearing what Fatty Han had to say, everyone laughed out loud. Even the people from Undying Souls, Justice League and Dark Palace were trying to hold back their own laughters.

"You bastard!" God's Left Hand was no longer calm. He fluttered his wings and charged straight at Fatty Han with murderous intent. Right after he made the first move, his party members followed him into battle. Meanwhile, Captain America and his goons did not stand idly. They would not allow Zhang Yang and friends to slaughter God's Left Hand and his party up. So they also charged into battle.

"Oi! Yellow hair guy! I'm not going to get gay with you! You've picked the wrong guy! Starlight! He's all yours! You don't have to hold back for me! Wreck his *sshole!" Even though the big battle had begun, Fatty Han was still fooling around with his words. He turned and aimed his arrow at a Thief while he screamed in a strange voice.

"Brother Fatty! I don't do gay as well!" Endless Starlight replied in a weak voice.

"Starlight! Keep God's Left Hand busy!" Zhang Yang began to assign combat roles to his party members. God's Left Hand had an extremely tough Defence. However, his Attack power was not too powerful. Endless Starlight would be able to keep him occupied for a long period of time. If Zhang Yang went straight up to God's Left Hand, it would be a waste of Zhang Yang's high damage output! He should be focusing on other matters first.

Meanwhile, Sun Xin Yu had locked her attention onto Heart of Destruction. Ever since their encounter back in the Forest Gump's Fortress, Sun Xin Yu was pissed because the battle between the two of them was interrupted before they could finish it off. Well, Heart of Destruction had retreated after he found out that there was no way he and his party could claim victory over the Territory Conquest. Therefore, this would be the continuation of their previous battle. No one should interfere this time!

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang and Wei Yan Er had turned themselves into killers. They joined hands and charged into the alliance of the four 'countries' and begin to slaughter anyone within their cross-sights.

Chapter 736: Apocalyptic Bondage

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

God's Left Hand was occupied. Heart of Destruction was engaged in a fierce battle. So who was left to stop the greatest threat of all time, Zhang Yang?

No one!

Hourglass Figure and the members of the Land of Savages were engaged in a fierce battle with two parties that held quite some grudges against them. So there was no way that they would cut in to stop Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang, Wei Yan Er. Felice and the Phoenix pet formed together to become a force so powerful that no one could reckon with them anymore! Furthermore, Zhang Yang's {Destructive Smash} could cause all his enemies to suffer a 75% reduction in their Healing Efficiency. Whoever who gets targeted by them, would be as good as dead, even if that player activates a Class B Inheritance Transformation!

Unfortunately, no one on the battlefield had a milky-light shining down on their heads. Obviously, none of them had come across any broken chapters of the [Book of Revelation] recently. Zhang Yang could only sigh and rant. Captain America and God's Left Hand must have slacked off too much because they had yet to locate the other chapters yet even after they had so much time after their last encounter.

So, how would Captain America and God's Left Hand feel if they ever find out about Zhang Yang's rant concerning them?

Even though everyone had basically moved their focus onto the PvP matches, they could still deal quite a remarkable amount of damage to the boss whenever they used their AoE Skills -- the body mass of the boss was just too large! Everyone was basically battling on top of the mushroom head of the boss! Well, there was no doubt that the splash attacks of their AoE attacks would burn the boss as well!

However, the HP bar of the boss was reducing at a much slower pace, because the boss was only suffering damage from players' AoE Skills. Everyone had the same mentality this time. Clear out every single enemy in the vicinity before focusing back to the boss. Well, it was true that the players could take their own sweet time to kill the boss when there are no enemies left around them. Upon killing the boss, they could also claim the loot all to themselves!

Quite a number of weaker parties began to form alliances among themselves. They intended to work together to take down the parties that were stronger than them. After they could finally take out the stronger parties, they would dissolve their Alliance and battle against each other. Well, survival of the fittest! Therefore, there was no guarantee that the strongest party would be able to last till the end, because of that. After all, everyone here should at least have a certain level of skill to make it into this map. Other than players who held a Class S Inheritance or a Class A Inheritance such as Zhang Yang, Sun Xin Yu and Hourglass Figure, the other players would almost be at the same standard in terms of their skills and experiences.

For instance, Lone Desert Smoke was deemed to have the strongest party of 10 in the entire server. However even they could not take it all if 4 parties formed an Alliance to take them on! If it wasn't for Crimson Rage and Hell Family, the entire party might get wiped out eventually. Or maybe, Zhang Yang, Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue who had a Class S Inheritance might survive the onslaught.

"Take out Zhan Yu first!" Everyone from any of the four parties were screaming and shouting the same thing. That 'godly' existence must be eliminated first if they ever want to win the battle. Everyone already knew about Zhang Yang's {God of War Devastation} and {Charge Up Strike}. If he ever managed to accumulate 39 EP over a battle, Zhang Yang would pump up his Attack by using {Charge Up Strike} before giving a full powered blow on his opponent with his {God of War Devastation}. That one single strike after the {Charge Up Strike} could cause devastating damage to 40 players at the same time!

With Zhang Yang's current Attack power, that single attack from his {God of War Devastation after activating his {Charge Up Strike} could reach up to 4,500,000 damage! That strike could deal that high damage to every one of them within the effective range of the Skill! That was the terrifying part of it! However, even though Zhang Yang's party had formed an Alliance with the Hell Family, the system would not recognize that. Zhang Yang's attack would still spread and hit the members of the Hell Family like they were also the enemies -- well, who would still have the time to think about all that? Even if Zhang Yang really collaterally hit the members of the Hell Family, only the 10 members of Hell Family would become the collateral damage of the battle. As long as Zhang Yang could accumulate another 10 EP, he would be able to get things done!

Accumulating 50 EP would require 500 seconds. If Zhang Yang goes out explosively like that once in every 500 seconds, combined with the attacks from the others around him, God's Left Hand and his goons would definitely be wiped out eventually! Maybe God's Left Hand and Heart of Destruction could use their fast movement speed they obtained by having a Class S Inheritance, but the other members of their party would definitely be splatterd! So what would be the point of only the two of them surviving by the end of that?

Therefore, their first target must be Zhang Yang, the biggest threat of all time!

"Hahaha!" Zhang Yang laughed out loud. He noticed that everyone was aiming their guns at him. However, he did not show any signs of retreating. Instead, he went all out on them. The Reaper charged up to Zhang Yang and began to whirl his weapon like a hurricane.

"Are you in a hurry to die?"

"You arrogant f*ck!"

"Just f*ck him up!"

The players from the Alliance of the four parties were infuriated by the arrogant attitude on Zhang Yang's face. They began to launch their most powerful attacks on him. They were venting their rage onto Zhang Yang.

{Tribulation} activated! {Shield Wall} activated! {God of War Shield} activated!

Bring it on! The harder they hit the better!

Countless attacks landed on Zhang Yang. However, at the same time, countless attacks were reflected back at those who were attacking Zhang Yang! High values of damage were dealt right back at the attackers!

Zhang Yang looked literally like a hedgehog. The attackers could still deal damage to him. Well, at least their attacks were reflected back at them. Meanwhile, with Zhang Yang's current Defence, the attackers could only deal about 100,000 damage to him, with each of their attacks. However, Zhang Yang could reflect about 200,000 damage back at the attackers. What's the point of even fighting?

Especially after Zhang Yang had activated his {Shield Wall}, Zhang Yang would have over 80,000 Defence upon activating his Inheritance Transformation. There would not be any Physical attack that could penetrate that amount of Defence within these 10 seconds. Even of any Spell attacks could land on Zhang Yang, they would not be able to deal much of a damage to him. However, some of the attacks from his enemies were even resisted!

So no matter what, every single attack that landed on Zhang Yang would be reflected back to the players who attacked him! No one in the current stage of the game could have such an ability to reflect attacks! Hitting on Zhang Yang was like hitting yourself with all you got!

Furthermore, Daffodil Daydream, Snow Seeker and the others would not just stay idle. They were also dealing damage from aside. Receiving attacks from both sides, these players who were surrounding Zhang Yang instantly suffered a tremendous reduction in their HP!

Dumbfounded!

They just stood there dumbfounded!

They were really dumbfounded!

What the hell! How could there be such an insane Skill in the game? How could anyone have survived that!

"Stop attacking Zhan Yu now!"

"F*ck your mother! I almost got killed because my attacks were reflected back at me!"

The best way to handle the {Tribulation} would be to let one person kite Zhang Yang around for over 10 minutes. After all, the {Tribulation} can basically reflect everything back at any attackers that attempt to attack Zhang Yang. As long as no one tries to deal any damage or a very low amount of damage on Zhang Yang, {Tribulation} would basically become useless.

However, the most important thing was that even if Zhang Yang did not have his {Tribulation}, he would still be as powerful as a god-slayer! They ganged up on him because they were afraid of his terrifying attacks. The situation became awkward for Zhang Yang's enemies because whoever tried to attack him, they would be receiving back a damage value that was higher than the damage they dealt on him. Well, hitting him was like hitting themselves even harder! So they stopped their assaults on Zhang Yang for the moment.

There was only one word to describe their situation right now. Pathetic!

How about trying to use Status Restriction Skills on Zhang Yang? Well, Zhang Yang could just use his [Mobility Potion, {Warrior's Will}, or his other Accessories to break free from the Status Restriction Effects! Furthermore, it was not like all 40 of them were battling against one Zhang Yang. Some of them were preoccupied with their own opponents at the moment. They did not get much chance to really focus their firepower on Zhang Yang. If only they could focus all of their attacks on Zhang Yang all the time, they might have a slight chance of taking out Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang laughed out loud and whirled his 'death scythe' at his enemies. His God of War EP was slowly accumulating!

{Charge Up Strike}!

{God of War Devastation}!

Shoof! A shadow of an axe flashed across the battlefield. 36 players received a damage of 4,500,000. Because Zhang Yang had activated an AoE Skill that spread out wide into the surrounding, not only God's Left Hand and Alliance members were inflicted with damage, even the boss and a few unfortunate members of the Hell Family were caught in the blast!

His attack was totally dope! Players who activate their Class B Inheritance Transformation lost over half of their total HP! Meanwhile, judging from the intensified situation of the battle, Healers were not able to do a thing to support them. Most of them lost more than 50% of their total amount of HP! It would already be a fortunate thing if their HP did not go down below 20%!

Right after that strike, about 20 players were instantly killed! They turned into streams of white light and reported themselves at the Graveyard!

"Wah! Noon tank, that Skill is too awesome!" Wei Yan Er's eyes were widened and glittering. Even though she also had her own powerful AoE Skill, that was only 8 times stronger than her Strength attribute. She could only deal approximately 140,000 damage to each of her enemies within her attack range. The damage that Zhang Yang's {God of War Devastation} could deal would be far more than that!

However, both {God of War Devastation} and {Charge Up Strike} had over 1 minute of cooldown period. Furthermore, Zhang Yang needed to accumulate a certain amount of EP before he could deal that much of a damage to all his foes. It was not like he could just use it anytime and anywhere he wanted.

Facing such an insane attack from Zhang Yang, the Alliance of the four parties were began to falter. Having a god slayer as their opponent, they had no idea how to win the battle.

"Zhan Yu! I'm your opponent!" God's Left Hand managed to tear himself off Endless Starlight. He fluttered his wings and flew up to Zhang Yang. Well, he was probably the only one who had enough Defence and Healing power to make up with the reflective ability of Zhang Yang's {Tribulation}. He is probably the only one who could hold Zhang Yang off from unleashing hell upon his newly formed Alliance!

"I'm not going to waste my time on you! Pui!" Well, there was nothing beneficial getting himself engaged with a player that has a high Defence and a high Healing ability after all. Zhang Yang did not even look at God's Left Hand. He continued to whirl about his weapon at the other members of the Alliance an in attempt to kill as many of them as possible.

"Argh --" God's Left Hand felt so humiliated that he let out a raging roar. He swung his left hand and threw a beam of white light onto Zhang Yang. The white light sank into Zhang Yang's body immediately.

[Apocalyptic Bondage: Makes the target focus only on you. Lasts for 10 minutes.

This was a new Skill that God's Left Hand had learned when he reached Level 160. It was a Skill on the same level as the {Tribulation}. However, this Skill could forcefully acquire aggro from the target!

Instantly, Zhang Yang was like entered a state of 'void'. Other than God's Left Hand, everyone had vanished without a trace! In other words, other than God's Left hand, he could not battle anyone else!

What an impervious Skill! What the f*ck!? That had really 'disabled' Zhang Yang from the battlefield for good!

{Warrior's Will}? Ineffective!

Invincibility Effect from his other Accessories? Ineffective as well!

The feeling was akin to how Captain America and the others felt with his {Tribulation}. Zhang Yang was annoyed and irritated by this {Apocalyptic Bondage} as much as that!

"God's Masturbating Left Hand! If you really wanted me to kill you so badly, I'll satisfy you! I'm a simple man!" Zhang Yang slit over to God's Left Hand in lightning speed and swung his 'death scythe' straight at his neck. However, Zhang Yang was reserving all of his AoE Skills for the moment.

Although he could not see the others in his surroundings, that did not necessarily mean that he had vanished from the battlefield and ended up somewhere else. Well, a single unit attack could not land on anyone when the player is unable not lock on onto the target. However, an AoE attack did not require the player to lock on their targets in order to hit their foes. As long as their targets are standing within the effective range of the AoE attack, they would surely be hit by the impact of the Skill!

As expected, Hundred Shots and the others immediately reported back to Zhang Yang after Zhang Yang struck out with his {God of War Crushing Strike} -- effective! Their enemies had been hit by the impact of Zhang Yang's devastating Skill!

However, Zhang Yang was still better at focusing his attack on one single target. Although the impact of his {God of War Crushing Strike} could spread out quite a distance, each strike could only deal an AoE attack of 180,000 Damage. Furthermore, Zhang Yang would need 30 seconds just to accumulate 3 EP. Actually, that was quite similar to the boss's {Timed Energy Charge}. It would not cause much harm to players who had activated their Inheritance Transformation. Well, at least the threat he posed was not fatal.

Zhang Yang's Inheritance had really showed the others how a high Attack power looked like! The name of the God of War prevails. Meanwhile, God's Left Hand was more focused on protecting his party members. The {Apocalyptic Bondage} that was cast on Zhang Yang had crippled his Attack power. Zhang Yang had been restrained so badly that he could only move around like a blind man. If it weren't for the {Tribulation} that he activated on himself, Zhang Yang would have been struck down by the attacks from all of his enemies in his surroundings!

Never underestimate a Class S Inheritance Transformation! Not even a little! Every single one of the Inheritance Transformation in the game had their own unique traits. After all, Class S Inheritances were unique in their own way, in which only one person would have one Class S Inheritance!

Zhang Yang began to unleash his attacks on God's Left Hand like a crazy person. Meanwhile, God's Left Hand was attempting to delay the inevitable. He was defending himself against Zhang Yang's assaults while trying to heal his party members. He did a remarkable job in both defending and healing.

Chapter 737: Fall between Two Stools

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, when it comes down to Healing Ability, no one in the entire server would match the Healing Ability of Han Ying Xue!

Although God's Left Hand's Healing Capability could really pack a punch, he was also half-oriented on his Defence as well. Unlike Han Ying Xue, he did not lose himself fully in the art of healing. Under the circumstance of having a Class S Inheritance, how could a player who cultivates both Defence and healing match the ability of a player who fully cultivates only in healing? Of course, there would be a difference between them!

As long as Han Ying Xue does not die on the battlefield, she could basically assure that everyone in her party could stay alive, at least! Of course, she could only do it under the circumstance that she was not affected by any Status Restriction Skill. She had to be able to healing her party members without any restriction.

The party was holding up solid. Meanwhile, Zhang Yang could only threaten God's Left Hand, because he was being whammied by God's Left Hand's {Apocalyptic Bondage}. So he decided to fully focus on taking God's Left Hand out first. Zhang Yang no longer afford to hold back on him anymore as he began to bombard God's Left Hand with everything he had.

Back in the day at Souron's castle, Zhang Yang had pressured God's Left Hand so much that he could only cry in misery while trying to run away from Zhang Yang. Now that he had some Holy Tier equipment on, his Attack power had increased even further. With him attacking at full strength, God's Left Hand felt a pressure that he had never felt before in his entire life, playing this game!

Fortunately for him, God's Left Hand had also switched a few pieces of Holy Tier equipment before this. Although his shield was still an Ethereal Tier equipment, his total amount of HP had been boosted up to over 700,000 HP. Upon activating his Inheritance Transformation, God's Left Hand now had over 28,000,000 HP!

With a higher amount of HP, it gave more room for God's Left Hand to maximize the potential of his Healing Ability. If he has too little amount of HP and he gets killed in an instant, there would be no healing to begin with, would there? If he has an average amount of HP, he might get interrupted while he chanting his Spells. When that happens, he might get killed by Zhang Yang with a series of combination attacks!

With a total amount of 28,000,000 HP, even if Zhang Yang charged up with his {Charge Up Strike} before activating his {God of War Devastation} or other high damage Skills like {God of War Battle Axe}, Zhang Yang could only deal a basic damage of approximately 4,500,000 to God's Left Hand -- that being said, Zhang Yang could deal that much damage only if God's Left Hand did not have any Damage Immunity or Damage Absorption!

Therefore, even if God's Left Hand is interrupted while he is chanting, he would not be taken out immediately, even if Zhang Yang chains a combination. On the other hand, as long as he survives Zhang Yang's attacks, he could just constantly healing himself up so that he could drag the battle on for as long as he desired. His main objective was to distract Zhang Yang long enough for his Alliance 'friends' to kill Zhang Yang's party and friends.

At first, the battle began with 40 players VS 30 players. Obviously, God's Left Hand and his newly formed Alliance had the upper hand in the battle. However, thanks to Zhang Yang's {God of War Devastation} that was charged up by his {Charge Up Strike}, half of his people were killed instantly. Truth to be told, he and his newly formed Alliance were destined to lose even after he managed to isolate Zhang Yang from the others.

Tragically, God's Left Hand noticed that his newly formed Alliance was losing badly. His own party members were barely hanging on because they still had God's Left Hand to heal them. There was no way that they could annihilate their enemies at this rate. However, the party members of the other parties in the newly formed Alliance could not heal each other. As God's Left Hand could not heal all of them, and they could only wait for their miserable death to come.

The effect of the {Destructive Smash} was definitely a crippling factor to 'healing'. Zhang Yang's {Destructive Smash} could reduce up to 75% of the enemies' Healing Efficiency. Even though God's Left Hand was holding on for the moment, it seemed that he was just prolonging the inevitable. His HP bar was reducing constantly, even though he was healing himself at his full capacity.

God's Left Hand sighed in his heart. If he had made up his mind to use {Apocalyptic Bondage} at the beginning of the battle, the current situation of this battle might be totally the opposite of the current situation! Well, firstly, he had gotten tangled up with Endless Starlight at the start. Secondly, he did not make his decision quick enough because of Zhang Yang's {Destructive Smash}. He did not have the confidence to ensure that his Alliance would hold up long enough before they annihilate their enemies!

Meanwhile, if he dies while doing so, his party would have zero chance of securing the quest to themselves. Well, without a leader with Class S Inheritance, the outcome would surely be very different. Although he really wanted to kill Zhang Yang to show his retaliation, deep down in his heart, he knew. It was quite common for players to slaughter each other up. People would say 'Just Business'. They were just following the game's rules after all.

Therefore, he decided to focus their priority on completing the quest. That was the moment when he put down the resolution to have a death battle with Zhang Yang. However, he had never thought possible that Zhang Yang would come out so aggressively, beyond everything that he had imagined. Zhang Yang actually took the opportunity of a gap and ended 20 of his men! The battle was basically lost!

If he had known that it would come to this, he would have acted differently!

So God's Left Hand immediately made a crucial decision. He began to take a few steps back. With the agile movement speed of his Class S Inheritance, he could seize the chance and start retreating immediately. By then, even Zhang Yang would not be able to catch him. However, because the boss was not yet dead, he could not escape from the vicinity of the boss battle. He could only run around in a limited area.

Heart of Destruction had also made the same decision that God's Left Hand did. After all, when a player with a Class S Inheritance has activated an Inheritance Transformation, it would be really hard for anyone to catch up with their speed.

With the two top Tier players running away, the entire Alliance was wiped out clean in an instant. However, that was not the end of the battle just yet! The three parties immediately turned off to kill the other parties. There were still some cleaning up to do in the area!

When Zhang Yang got out from the {Apocalyptic Bondage}, the boss battle was about to reach its end. Not only did players have to deal with other players in battle, they also had to face the wrath of the boss and its wide AoE attacks. Anyone would have died in that kind of circumstances! Other than Lone Desert Smoke, Crimson Rage and Hell Family, only the Land of Savages still had their heads intact! Meanwhile, the other parties only had their best players left on their parties. For instance, God's Left Hand and Heart of Destruction.

When the final HP of the boss was struck out, the 'rod' of the Spiritual Beast King began to break into seven or eight pieces. Then everything began to collapse towards the ground.

-- even though the players were battling against each other, their AoE attacks had been splashing onto the boss. As the battle had gone on for quite a while, those attacks had slowly tortured the boss to its demise!

Instantly, every player right on top of the 'Mushroom Head' began to fall. Fortunately for them, they were securely saddled up on their Flying Mounts. Players with Class S and Class A Inheritance could fly with their own flying abilities. Immediately, everyone levitated in the middle of the air. However, the next moment was the moment of chaos! Everyone began to descend down towards the spot where the boss was spawned!

It was the moment where everyone needs to snatch the loots dropped by the boss and dismantle the bomb to complete the quest!

"Ice queen, Witchy Snow! You two get really to pick up the loot! I'll throw the bomb! The rest of you, just focus on stopping anyone who tries to get close to us!" Zhang Yang immediately said.

Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu were currently in their Inheritance Transformation forms. So, they could fly at their top speed, making them the most suitable candidates to snatch the loots.

Almost at the same time, Crimson Rage, Hell Family and Land of Savages had also made the same decision, assigning the fastest players of their parties to snatch the loots and dismantle the bomb! The rest of their members would be stopping whoever tried to get near!

{Blast Wave}!

Zhang Yang turned around in the air and struck out a conical area of impact wave towards his front. He managed to stun a few players right in front of them while he made his way to the ground.

The situation had become critical. It was like immortals attempting to cross the sea, each of them showing their special prowess! While some of them were showing off their skills and tactics, the others were blocking each other from getting near to the ground. Some of them even tried to avoid being afflicted by any Status Restriction Skills. The entire battlefield was spectacular.

All of the players with Class S Inheritance had the advantage of super-agile movement speed over the others. So, they were able to fully utilize this advantage of theirs in such a situation. Although the 6 players with Class S Inheritance were coming from different directions, the distance between them and their destination was almost the same. The winner of this race remained unclear.

Because Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue had Zhang Yang throwing the bomb, they could fully focus on charging straight at the loot that was dropped by the boss. Meanwhile, Hourglass Figure and the other three players with Class S Inheritance were taking out their bombs and had thrown them at the spot where the boss died. That was the spot where players could throw the bombs and dismantle the bomb!

As they were descending at high speed, Zhang Yang, Hourglass Figure, God's Left Hand and Heart of Destruction were obviously charging towards the direction of the bombs while Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue were charging towards the loot! The two spots were just approximately 50 meters away from each other. Well, they did not seem to be two different spot when everyone was still pretty far away from them. However, they began to see that they were actually attt two different spots as they were getting nearer to the ground.

100 meters, 50 meters, 20 meters!

Hourglass Figure and the other 2 threw their bombs towards the ground at the same instant! Right after that, they immediately turned towards the direction of the loots to see if they could still snatch something for themselves.

Zhang Yang grinned while he was descending. 20 meters was merely a distance that he could pass by in only 0.1 second or 0.2 second! After all, he was at his top speed right now! He suddenly swung his scythe and slashed one of the bombs out of its flying course. Meanwhile, he kicked the other two bombs out of their flying courses as well right before they could land.

At the same time, Zhang Yang took out the bomb in his inventory. After he activated the bomb, he threw it straight into the spot.

-- the untrustworthy bomb made by the goblins would not explode immediately after you throw it out. You'll need to activate it first before you throw it out!

After all, God's Left Hand and the others had started to move for the loots slower than Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue. So they could only stare at the two ladies sweeping the loots clean into their own pockets. However, they did not mind that so much because their real focus was on the final reward of the quest, if they could ever complete it, of course! Equipment would always be 'eliminated' when newer Tiers of equipment begin to appear at the later stages of the game.

However, when they turned their heads around, they coincidentally saw Zhang Yang 'cleaning' their bombs away from the spot! They were infuriated so much that their nose became crooked!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three bombs exploded one after another. However, the flashing beam underneath the boss's dead body was still there. That being said, the three bombs did not hit the right spot, and the quest was not completed by any three of them!

Although God's Left Hand and the other two attempted to salvage the situation by attempting to destroy Zhang Yang's bomb, they were not fast enough.

Boom!

A large explosive sound echoed across the entire boss battle area. The explosion was far louder than the previous three bombs when they first exploded by the hands of Zhang Yang. Everyone could feel the impact of the bomb that they were almost blown away by the air! More importantly, the HP of everyone was reduced to 1 point!

Zhang Yang and his gang had experienced the same thing before this. So, they quickly activated their life-saving Skills and took down a bottle of Healing Potion just in case. It would always better to be safe than sorry. Having only 1 HP would make the player extremely vulnerable, one small tap could have killed the player, after all!

After the dust had begun to settle down, the blinking beam underneath the boss had vanished. The phenomenon indicated that the quest had been completed! The others would have to wait for Zhang Yang and his gang to hand in the quest first before they could repeat the quest again.

Well, that was not going to happen anyway!

Hourglass Figure and the others were crying their faces off. If they had known better, they should have charge for the loots instead. Now, it became a fall between two stools for them. They got nothing at all by the end of it.

A tragedy indeed!

Well, there was no point for the players to continue killing each other now. Everyone took out their teleportation scrolls and left the area with regret.

"Guildmaster Zhan Yu, we've helped you so much! Are you going to cast us aside and pretend that nothing ever happened?" upon returning to Souron's Castle, Snow Seeker immediately looked Zhang Yang up and smiled at him.

Indeed, without the support of the Crimson Rage, Zhang Yang and his gang would have been wiped out entirely. Even if Dusk Phoenix came to the rescue, the battle would also be 20 VS 40. Zhang Yang and his friends would still stand no chance of winning at all.

Zhang Yang winked at Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu, then he said, "Give me the loot that the boss dropped. All of them!"

The two ladies cooperated well with Zhang Yang and threw only the Ethereal Tier equipment over to him. Without saying another word, Zhang Yang shoved them over to Sow Seeker and generously said, "Here you go!"

Snow Seeker rolled her eyes incredulously.

Chapter 738: Protect the Giant Dragon!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Of course, Zhang Yang would not take advantage of the Crimson Rage to such an extent. Even though Crimson Rage was helping themselves by helping the Lone Desert Smoke, they also had the notion to snatch the equipment and complete the quest.

Well, what's done was done. They had extended their help to the Lone Desert Smoke. Without Crimson Rage's support, maybe Zhang Yang, Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue would not die, but Zhang Yang's other party members would have suffered a great loss.

After teasing Snow Seeker for a little while, even though Zhang Yang did not pass the Holy Tier equipment that they got from the boss's loots, he still gave Snow Seeker quite a substantial amount of [Armor Piercing Potions, [Amateur Power Potions] and [Temporary Invincibility Potions, for free, of course. Snow Seeker knew that she would never be able to sweep fortune from Zhang Yang anymore, so she was content with what she got from him.

Everyone went back to White Jade Castle. Zhang Yang and his gang did not rush back to hand in their quest. Because, once they hand in the quest, it would trigger the next phase of the quest! Everyone would be receiving the next quest as well! Meanwhile, now that Zhang Yang and his gang were holding the 'trigger' of the next quest, they could pick any other time to trigger the next quest in the coming days. Well, as long as the Ancient Spiritual Beast King is not respawned just yet, Zhang Yang and his gang could take their own sweet time for the moment.

They gathered by the Identifying Shop in the main city. Since they had returned back to the castle, there was no need for them to waste Zhang Yang's [Identifying Scrolls]. After all, they would not get any discount or benefits if they just use the scrolls to identify their equipment.

The boss had dropped a few equipment that were slightly above average. There were two Holy Tier equipment and four Ethereal Tier equipment -- Snow Seeker went all seductive on Zhang Yang, trying to strike a good deal with him. Well, she did not return the four Ethereal Tier equipment to Zhang Yang. After all, she knew that Zhang Yang must have kept some good stuff to himself. Everyone knew that the Holy Tier equipment was still considered as the Top Tier equipment at the current stage of the game.

Other than that, there were also one [Skill Point Crystal, one [Engineering Recipe, and two [Top Tier Aura Stones].

After some consideration, Zhang Yang passed the two [Top Tier Aura Stones] over to Han Ying Xue, allowing her to enhance her {Life Aura} up to level 9. Having a 27% increase in her healing ability would definitely be helpful to the entire party. Even though {Strength Aura} was also a good choice, limiting a Spellcaster's ability to merely strength would do no good to the Spellcaster or his or her party members. Meanwhile, Hunters and Thieves would require a better touch on their Agility attribute.

The two Holy Tier equipment were a Heavy Armor helmet and a cloth-made boots. Fatty Han was extremely disappointed this time around. Well, he only got one piece of Holy Tier equipment, after so long.

[Rock Guardian's Helmet]

Defence: 640

Vitality: 16,803

Strength: 4,120

Intelligence: 1,750

{Level 6 Socket 1}

{Level 6 Socket 2}

Equip: Increases Maximum HP by 33,600 points.

Equip: Increases both Damage and Healing Efficiency by 10%.

Equip: When being hit, absorbs 1,778 Damage.

Required Level: 180

Special: Reduces Required Level by 20 levels.

Because of the additional Intelligence Attribute, it would be better for Endless Starlight to have it. That fellow was smiling so joyfully that his eyes were almost closed. Well, he did look like a pervert after all.

"If that God's Masturbating Left Hand could just look at this piece of equipment, he would definitely be drooling, or maybe stare his eyes out!" Fatty Han laughed. Of course, that curious brat Wei Yan Er kept asking about the meaning behind 'God's Masturbating Left Hand'.

Indeed, that helmet could really boost God's Left Hand up for good. Not only could the equipment provide an increase on Vitality, it could also increase quite an amount of Defence, Attack, and even Intelligence Attributes! There was nothing missing from this equipment at all! It really maximized its function by increasing the attributes of whoever wearing it!

"Let him burn! If we show him this one day, let him burn his eyes out!" Everyone was laughing out loud. If Zhang Yang did not take the initiative to go all out on them while getting blinded by God's Left Hand's {Apocalyptic Bondage} just a little sooner, Zhang Yang and his gang could have lost the battle badly. Naturally, they were irked by the presence of God's Left Hand.

The next equipment was the boots. It had quite a decent appearance and was white in color.

[Lunar's Casual Boots]

Defence: 128

Vitality: 8,402

Intelligence: 2,060

Spirit: 875

{Level 6 Socket}

Equip: Increases Maximum MP by 2,120 points.

Equip: Increases both Damage and Healing Efficiency by 10%.

Equip: When being hit, absorb 1,778 Damage.

Required Level: 180

Special: Reduces Required Level by 20 levels.

After a round of rolling their dices, the exquisite boots was claimed by Fantasy Sweetheart. That had really increased her healing capacity by a notch! The Chinese perverts would say, that could really increase her Cup Size by a notch!

It was natural that Hundred Shots was the one who took the [Engineering Recipe]. However, after he learned it, he smiled bitterly. So it seemed that the recipe taught him how to make [Elemental Bombs]. Before he could even start making them, Wei Yan Er had booked 10 sets of it!

[Elemental Bomb: (Consumable)

Use: Causes 5,000 Fire Damage to all targets within the range of 3X3 meters where the bomb detonates. Cooldown: 1 second. Range: 30 meters.

Required Level: 150

If it wasn't for the Required Level restriction, those players who were lower in levels could have used these bombs to blow all monsters in the low-level dungeons or low-level regions to kingdom come!

However, the impact of the bomb had improved. Therefore, the cost of making one would definitely increase a lot. Each [Elemental Bomb] would take up a cost of 10 gold pieces to make. So, each set would require 2,000 gold pieces to make. That made 10 sets cost 20,000 gold pieces! No wonder Hundred Shots smiled bitterly when the little brat asked him to make them for her!

However, everyone was earning quite a tremendous amount of income from the profit coming from Zhang Yang's Little Merchandize Shop. Hundred Shots would definitely be able to spend that little bit of money to make them for the little brat. After all, everyone was treating the little brat like their own younger sister. That was the weird part of it. Even though she was literally a little b*tch, everyone still loved her.

A while ago, they had soaked themselves in the Volcanic Dragon Mountain for over 9 days. Everyone was tired of slaying monsters. So, they decided to give themselves a few days of rest. They wanted to accompany their family for a little bit. It would be wrong to keep soaking oneself in the game. Although 'God's Miracle' looked real inside, everything was still virtual. They do not exist in real life, after all.

Meanwhile, there was some movement in the Beijing region. The organization of Sun had launched a full investigation on the Liu family. The inspection team of Sun family had launched a raid and countless inner circle members of Liu Wei had been greeted with disciplinary measure outside the regular legal system under which they were all detained and interrogated. At the same time, the Liu family business executives were also arrested in full swing. This family was once the 'ruler' of the city. But now, the hammer of justice had been dropped right on their faces! Although the official results had not been declared just yet, everyone knew that they were done for, this time around. Well, their 'reign' had finally been put to rest. So that's how karma works.

After Chen Xue Yao found out about the news, she began to cry in joy. She even hugged Zhang Yang and kissed him violently. However, when Zhang Yang began to feel a little heated up, she withdrew rapidly, leaving Zhang Yang a great memory, the shadow of her back leaving the office door -- so this was her revenge for grabbing her a few rounds, that night, huh? Should she really try to torture him so much?

Arresting was easy, however, it would really take a long time to slowly find evidence to back up every crime that these officers and Liu family had done in the past. Meanwhile, they would have to consider the influence on the society before they wanted to do something. Well, from the looks of it, it could take up to half a year or even 1 full year. When the incident had begun to fade into the memories of the society, the officials could just sentence Liu Wei and his associates in low profile.

However, good things never last. The words were true. A few days later, something that Zhang Yang find it hard to accept happened -- Liu Wei was released from the prison!

Even though the Liu family was destined to be crippled in the end, letting Liu Wei out of the cage was like giving a psycho a knife and let him out into the street full of people! Sun Xin Yu came back with the news shortly after it happened. Apparently, it was Chong Xiu Hua who bailed Liu Wei out of the cage!

Well, even though Chong Xiu Hua had a very influential and powerful background supporting him, he could not have saved all of Liu Wei's family and his associates. However, things would be different if he just attempts to save one unimportant man! Obviously, Chong Xiu Hua had found out about the relationship between Zhang Yang and Liu Wei. It seemed like he wanted to use that factor to get rid of Zhang Yang!

Well, Chong Xiu Hua did not even have to feed Liu Wei any poisonous words in order to get him moving. All he would need to do was to tell Liu Wei that Zhang Yang was the one who was responsible for the downfall of his entire empire and his family! Liu Wei would make his move on Zhang Yang all by himself! Meanwhile, Chong Xiu Hua need not have to care if things work out or not. He did not even spend much to set everything up. He just had to sit back and watch a good drama unveil before his eyes.

That was really something to worry about!

Liu Wei had been an arrogant f*ck who had always used extreme measures on his enemies. When he finds out that Zhang Yang was the one behind the downfall of his family, he would definitely come after Zhang Yang, without a doubt. He would only wish Zhang Yang to be dead. So, only god knows what he would really do to Zhang Yang and his loved ones!

Zhang Yang felt that there was a need to intensify the security measures around them. He wanted to make sure the ladies are safe from Liu Wei. Meanwhile, Zhang Yang had nothing to worry about Sun Xin Yu. Firstly, she had all it takes to take care of herself. Secondly, her family background would be a determining factor that ensures Liu Wei would never make a move on her -- unless he no longer wanted to live!

Well, judging from Liu Wei's personality, he would not have put himself in any harm's way even if he wanted to retaliate so badly. Therefore, Zhang Yang only had to worry about Wei Yan Er, Han Ying Xue and Daffodil Daydream. Of course, he needed to worry about Chen Xue Yao as well!

Chen Xue Yao was also one of Liu Wei's most hated person other than Zhang Yang. Other than that, she was living alone out there. Even if something bad happens to her, it would take days to discover if anything bad happens to her.

Zhang Yang had thought about it thoroughly. He spent a lot of money hiring bodyguards from the Security Firm. Well, he was not short on money at all. He could afford it all without a problem now. If anything happens to any of his ladies, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life! Not only did he hire some extra muscles to guard by his house, he also installed security systems and security cameras all over the place. The ladies would also have bodyguards protecting them from the dark whenever they went out. That included Chen Xue Yao as well. However, Zhang Yang did not inform her about it though.

From another perspective, Zhang Yang was hoping that Liu Wei would become reckless and come after him. By then, Zhang Yang could have the rights for justified 'self-defense' and take him out of the picture for good! However, Liu Wei would never be so reckless that he would go on and take risks. Instead, he would just hire people to do his dirty job.

Putting everything in his mind aside, Zhang Yang logged into the game again. Upon gathering all members of his party of 10, they went on to hand in the quest.

'Ding! You've completed a quest: Destroying the Energy Crystal Processing Base Factory! You have received a reward: 20,000,000 Experience Point, 100 Military Points.'

Guraj was looking at everyone with a content face. Then he said, "Warriors, you've once again defeated the fiery spirit of the Spectre! However, a few of my associates have stolen some of the Energy Crystals and sold them to the god damn Spectres! They value money more than the world! Those nincompoops!"

"This ain't over yet!" Guraj screamed in a strange voice pitch. Then he continued to say, "The Spectre have not halted their development of the 'Darkness Falls'! You must try harder!"

"Creating the 'Darkness Falls' will require an important kind of crystal, that's the Giant Dragon's heart! Those undead Spectres will send an army so huge that the ground will tremble before their marching! They will be launching their assaults on The Green Dragon Elphenise on the Mount Apaq! So fellow Warriors, you must cut off the head of the Spectre Mathuven and show those undead Spectres that we're not to be trifled with!"

'Ding! You've automatically accepted a Main Story Quest: Protect the Giant Dragon!'

[Protect the Giant Dragon] (Difficulty: S-Rank)

Description: The Spectres are still developing their 'Darkness Falls'. Their next target will be The Green Dragon Elphenise's Heart! Warrior, you must put a stop to these Spectres' plan. You must not let them get what they want!

Number of players: 10 (Maximum)

Reward: Sacred Badge, 50,000,000 Experience Points, 1,000 Military Points

[Sacred Badge] (Accessory)

Use: Immunes you from any Damage or Status Restriction Effect. Increases your Critical Rate by 20%. Lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

Chapter 739: World Boss

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This quest was automatically assigned to the player. As long as players have reached Level 160, it would not matter where you are, the system will shove this quest onto your quest list by force. Other than that, the Quest Assistant had also given a clear description of the boss of that quest.

Skeleton Admiral Mathuven, a Level 185 Holy Tier boss, a World Tier boss!

As a World Tier boss, this Mathuven should be extremely powerful and difficult to take on! Currently, Zhang Yang had only encountered a Level 20 World Tier boss called 'Martyr Unduin', Queen Serena, and the 'good' spectre princess. Well, she was faithful to her love, at least.

Mathuven would lead an army of Spectre to launch a full-scale attack on The Green Dragon Alphonse at 7 p.m, 3 days from now. The location of the battle would be Mount Apaq which was located on the map of Rock Flatland.

Well, the Holy Tier equipment listed in the reward description of the quest was extremely appealing. They were more than enough to send countless players charging into the boss battle. Furthermore, everyone knew how hard it was to even get one piece of Accessory in this game. Most of the Level 100 players were still wearing their Level 50 Accessories until now. Therefore, the appearance of one Level 180 top Tier Accessory as one of the rewards for killing this boss could really get the mainstream players crazy!

Other than that, the notion of battling a World boss would really get people rolling! The boss would definitely drop a powerful Skill Book or a [Forbidden Scroll, or any other extremely powerful item! Well, people would not be focusing their attention on the Holy Tier equipment if they ever knew about this.

Not to mention that the boss would be coming in with a large army. When there were a large number of monsters, players could slay the monsters and earn some Glory Points to be exchanged for some powerful equipment! Even though the top Tier players would not be interested in those equipment, normal players would be. Other than clearing a high-level dungeon, this would be an alternative method for the players to get 'top Tier' equipment for themselves!

Other than that, if the players could slay the boss by the end of the boss battle, every single player who takes part in the boss battle would acquire a level 2 reward! However, if the players ever fail to slay the boss, players from the entire server would receive a penalty of level -3! In other words, no one could afford to lose the boss battle. No one would choose to stay out of this boss battle!

Immediately, the guilds mobilized their entire force onto the task. All Level 130 players would be summoned to enter the Rock Flatland after 3 days. Telling players who had not reached Level 155 to battle a Level 185 boss would cause them to suffer the Level Gap Suppression function of the game. However, gathering hundreds of thousands, or millions, or even hundreds of millions of players together to attack a boss would definitely be effective. With everyone combining their power together, the power level of the players would become tremendous!

Of course, the body mass of the boss would be large enough for millions of players to lay waste to it. Well, there was also a possibility that the body mass of the boss would be much larger than the Ancient Spiritual Beast King. The first benefit of having a large number of players in a boss battle was that players would be able to contribute an abundant amount of damage to the boss. Secondly, with so many players bombarding their attacks on the boss, the boss would not be able to escape or dodge so many attacks at the same time. That would keep the boss in its battle mode!

After all, the boss would only use passive Skills like {Spectre Constitution} to recover its HP bar. If the boss could recover 1% HP every 30 seconds, it would take 50 minutes for the boss to fully recover one full bar of its HP bar. However, things would work differently if the boss ever gets out of its battle mode. The boss could recover over 10% HP every second! 10 seconds would be all the time the boss needs to fully recover its HP bar!

Just imagine this. The players have managed to bring the HP bar of the boss down to 5% after giving their best efforts. However, they get wiped out all of a sudden. When they run all the way back to the boss, they tragically realize that the boss has fully recovered its HP bar. The players would be crying in misery, and some of them might even wish to die after all the trouble they put themselves through! However, if the number of players is high enough, they could arrange players in formations. Waves of players could be assigned to attack the boss at a different time to keep the flow of the battle smooth. Even if the players could only deal a small amount of damage to the boss, at least the boss would not leave from its battle mode. Then, the players would stand a chance to kill the boss, eventually.

Lone Desert Smoke had done the same thing as well. They also assembled their players who had reached Level 130 or beyond Level 130 to participate in the boss battle. The number of members from the main guild had reached more than 80,000 players!

Everyone was cracking their knuckles, waiting for the 3 days to pass. Mathuven would be the first World boss for most of the players. However, when events such as Spectres invading the main cities happen, the Celestial Tier boss called Angus would naturally be the Super World boss!

The Leader of the Seven Wraith and the leader of the Nine Demons were all Super World bosses. It should be extremely hard to battle against them all! In Zhang Yang's previous life, the players had been able to take down Angus because they received powerful support from a bunch of powerful NPCs. However, there were still other 15 Celestial Tier bosses staying 'peacefully' in the game.

Even Celestial Tier bosses had their own different grades. For instance, Angus was considered one of the lowest among the other Celestial Tier bosses. Therefore, Angus was only Level 230. However, Madravich was a Level 300 Celestial Tier boss. The difference of levels between each of the Celestials was meant to distinguish the difference between the skills and power level of the bosses. Meanwhile, the last on the grade list was the Demon Lord Kenzack who was also Level 230. During that time, the players had already exceeded Level 200. Well, they were supposed to be capable of slaying Kenzack, because they would no longer be affected by the Level Gap Suppression function of the game.

However, even after players from all 8 Regions had put aside their prejudices and enmities to take down Kenzack, they were no match for the boss at all. They had attempted to slay Kenzack twice. The players were wiped out by Kenzack with ease!

That should show how powerful a World boss could be!

Zhang Yang let his imagination run wild for a bit. He was imagining the blood-boiling moments when he battled the Celestial Tier boss in his previous life. He could not help but feel pumped and all. He hoped that he could just lure Angus out of hiding and start a war with the boss, right away! However, that would not be possible, if the Main Story Quests are completed yet. Therefore, everyone would only be stuck with continuous events, where the disturbance of the Spectre were ever-present.

However, even though the Spectres that appeared in front of the players seemed weak, as time passes, these Spectres that keep causing disturbance to the cities and towns in the game would become much stronger. Furthermore, they would stop dropping equipment and items soon.

When the disturbance of the Spectre reaches a certain critical level, the Spectres would acquire the ability to launch their attacks on main cities and Territories to force players into completing the Main Story Quests. By doing so, the development of the drama in the game would continue on.

While Zhang Yang was drifting away into his fantasy world, he suddenly heard loud knocks on his door. Chen Xue Yao came into his room like a snake. She brought a cup of coffee with her as usual -- well, she would come to Zhang Yang trying to understand the development of Liu Wei's cases on a daily basis.

Actually, she only needed to ask once a week. After all, the investigations were pretty time-consuming. However, Zhang Yang suspected that this woman was trying to 'retaliate'. She would always sit on his lap while asking the questions. Did she really need to do that? Furthermore, she had also buttoned up her clothes so tightly that her body shape was obviously shown. She even lowered down the front of her collar so low that her two boobies were half exposed!

That was not all. Why was she wearing suspender straps with fasteners attached to a girdle belt to hold up her sexy stockings? Why would she even wear stockings with laces?! It was in the middle of the day now! Sometimes, she would even purposely 'expose' her underwear to Zhang Yang! Although Zhang Yang could only see it vaguely, Zhang Yang's rich imagination would instantly get his 'brother' rock hard!

"Mr.Zhang, so how have things going with the investigations on Liu Wei's case?" This b*tch was asking him nonchalantly, like nothing was happening. She placed the coffee on the table right beside them and leaned over towards Zhang Yang's body. Her body scent was tantalizing!

Zhang Yang turned his head over and saw that she was still wearing her light brown OL (Office Lady) uniform. She was wearing a white blouse underneath her uniform. However, her collar was purposely left unbuttoned. From Zhang Yang's angle, he could clearly see two fair half rounded boobies. Zhang Yang could also vaguely see the side of the light purplish bra that she was wearing.

Witch! Fox! Whatever you can call her! Zhang Yang could not get her off his head anymore after the night where both of them were hugging, touching each other for the whole night. They even kissed! Why is she always trying to seduce him then? Was she really trying to retaliate? This woman most probably thought that Zhang Yang had seen enough of her pretty face and her sexy body. She must have thought that Zhang Yang had enough touching her body as well! And now, she was willing to expose more of her 'wild' parts to him. She was trying to get into Zhang Yang's head so that she could toy with his mind! Every time when Zhang Yang was starting to feel 'heaty', this woman would suddenly withdraw herself from teasing Zhang Yang any further. Everything would just stop there. Zhang Yang would most certainly almost begin to jack himself off!

"Still, it's still under progress! Just wait!" Zhang Yang had no idea how many times has he said that.

"So slow! What's taking them so long to investigate those scumbags! Just drag them out and shoot them in the head, on the piers!" Chen Xue Yao was infuriated. Well, no one could blame her. Her family was killed by these scumbags, after all. She was very eager to see that those scumbags are dragged up to the guillotine and be the one shouting 'off with their heads'!

Well, no one could really blame her for being so vicious. After looking through the evidence that she collected firsthand, even Zhang Yang felt a little disturbed. Making a murder looking like an accident was just child's play. When the Liu Family was starting up their business, they even did something like slaughtering the entire family of their business competitors. While their businesses were getting bigger and bigger, those people did even more crimes just to make themselves comfortable! They even built an entire secondary school so that they could recruit virgins to have fun with.

After Zhang Yang gave it some thought, he decided not to tell Chen Xue Yao about Liu Wei being released into the 'wild' again. Well, he had thought it through, thoroughly this time. To catch that bastard, Zhang Yang could not really go on killing people. However, it would be possible if Zhang Yang could just disable '5' of his limbs! That would not become any problem at all!

When the Liu Wei problem had been resolved, then only Zhang Yang would tell Chen Xue Yao about it. Now that Zhang Yang had hired some bodyguards to protect her from the dark, telling her now would just make her worry even more.

"... you're here to ask me about Liu Wei, right? Why are your hands touching my thighs then?" Zhang Yang asked her with a straight face.

"Hehe!" Chen Xue Yao smiled and blushed. Her cheeks turned so red and her charm was mesmerizing. She went closer and gave a gentle nibble on Zhang Yang's ear. Then she said, "Do you want me to help you out with my hands again?"

Zhang Yang's heart began to pound instantly. That night, he was 'handled' by her soft and slender hands. Although her hands had not passed through the hall and into the inner chamber, Zhang Yang could already feel a sensation of joy rushing up his head. Instantly, he glared at the beautiful creature's udders. Then he calmly said, "Are you trying to trick me again?"

Chen Xue Yao pulled down her collar even lower and let her two boobies jiggle a little bit. The ripple on her skins of her boobies was just breathtaking to look at. Zhang Yang's pupils went blank. She giggled and leaned her chest against Zhang Yang's back. Then she reached out to Zhang Yang's ear and let out a gentle breath, "Mr. Zhang, you seem to be quite 'heaty' every single day. Didn't the two in your house feed you well?"

"You w*tch! How do you even dare to say that!?"

Chen Xue Yao could remember very clearly that she was touched by Zhang Yang for good that day. So there was nothing more shameful than that! 'You pervert! I'm going to toy with you so badly that you'll never forget! I'm going to send you into dire suffering! I'm definitely giving that bad breath right back at you!' She never said that out loud, of course. She looked down and saw that Zhang Yang's 'tent' had been set up completely. She knew that she was done toying with him for today. So she quickly stood up and giggled at Zhang Yang. Then, she left Zhang Yang's office in haste.

Zhang Yang was conflicted on whether to cry or to laugh after what happened. This had become something that must happen every single day. However, deep down his heart, he was furious. "Do not mistake me as a paper tiger! If you ever cross a line, I'll not hesitate to devour you and your body entirely!"

Zhang Yang already had Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu. He had never intended to screw another woman anymore. However, the thing that happened between him and Chen Xue Yao was considered to be a forbidden affair. After all, no one could have changed the fact that the two of them had intimately touched each other. even though it was not their intention.

Zhang Yang admitted that he had a strong impulse to possess a woman that he loves. If that night had not happened, then Zhang Yang would not have minded her at all. Even if she marries someone, Zhang Yang would not have felt a thing at all. He would just curse whichever bastard who could have her as his wife.

However, these two had seen each other in the nude. They even fondled with every part of their bodies. That had really changed the way Zhang Yang felt for her.

-- you witch! If you dare to do that again tomorrow, I'm going to force myself on you, and you're going to regret that!

Zhang Yang hardened his soul and said quietly.

...

3 days had passed in a blink of an eye. Every top Tier guild had already formed their own parties to enter Mount Apaq. Even though Mathuven had not been spawned yet, there were multiple sightings of The Green Dragon Elphenise. This Green Dragon would sometimes fly in the sky in its dragon form. Sometimes, it would transform into a cute green elven lady, walking around in the woods.

This Giant Dragon lady was also labelled as a Holy Tier boss. Her power level should not be weak. However, she only had over 1,000,000,000 HP, which was clearly not the HP amount that a Holy Tier boss should have! She deserved to have more HP on her! However, in order for the drama mode to work its course, the developer had designed her to have lesser HP. Players from all eight Regions could heal her with their healing Skills. That 1,000,000,000 HP would make her quite powerful in a sense.

Not only some top Tier guilds, but several smaller guilds did not even have one Level 160 player in their guild. Although it was not possible for them to complete the quest, they could still count on their luck to see if they are able to snatch something useful when the boss dies!

After all, this is a World boss! Only god knows how many good stuff would pour out from the dead body of the boss!

Chapter 740: Skeleton Admiral Mathuven

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Top Tier guilds did not make clear of the vicinity even though the normal players had swarmed into the place. They knew it better than anyone that these low level players were just food powder on the battlefield. They would be wiped out when the boss starts sneezing!

Well, no one would ever have enough of food in powder form anyway. So let them come.

Countless players were waiting and expecting the Spectre Army to arrive.

However, when the players finally saw the scale of the Spectre Army, they almost wet their pants. So, that was why the quest was listed as one of the Main Story Quest. So that was why only players who managed to attain the required level of the quest managed to receive the new quest!

So how large was the scale of the army then? Was it millions? Or was it hundreds of millions then?

Countless Skeleton Soldiers were swarming over the entire mountain. They did not look anything like those Skeleton monsters that were roaming around the cemetery areas in the Open World at all. These Skeleton Soldiers were well equipped with a full set of armor on each of them. Their armor was pitch black, which was a complete contrast to their white bones.

[Skeleton Assaulter] (Normal, Spectre)

Level: 180

HP: 117,504

Defence: 4,740

Melee Attack: 24,147 – 34,147

Skills:

[Force Strike: Causes 100% Melee Attack of Physical Damage to a target. There is a 10% chance to acquire an additional attack.

Note: The Skeleton Assaulters are the true and official members of the Spectre Army. Even though they are just the lowest kind of their army, they can still pose a fatal threat to anyone who underestimate them! More importantly, these soldiers know no fear of death. They know no pain! They can give any commander in a battlefield a chill up their spines!

The length of that sword might have reached beyond 200 meters long! This monster should have a very wide attack range, or so it seemed.

[Skeleton Admiral Mathuven] (Holy, Spectre)

Level: 185

HP: 50,000,000,000

Defence: 50,000

Magi Resistance: 50,000

Melee Attack: 149,465 – 209,465

Skills:

[Storm Blades: Causes 100% Melee Attack of Physical Damage to all targets within the effective range of the Skill once in each second. Last for 30 seconds.

[Destructive Smash: Causes 150% Melee Attack of Physical Damage to a target, afflicting the target with 50% Reduction in the target's Healing Efficiency.

[Spectre Build: Recovers 1% HP in every 30 seconds. The amount of HP healed will not be affected by any other effects.

Note: Mathuven is well known as a General with extraordinary capabilities serving under the ranks of Angus. His loyalty lies in executing every single order given by Angus.

A total of 50,000,000,000 HP?!

Players who could see the HP amount of the boss frowned intensely. If the boss does not have the HP recovery Skill {Spectre Build}, it would be possible for the players to take the boss down, even if the boss had more HP than that. However, everything changed when the boss has that Skill along with him.

With a total HP of 50,000,000,000, the boss could recover over 1,670,000 HP in each passing second, so to speak. If the damage dealt by the players could not get up to that amount of damage, the boss would basically lose nothing at all. His HP bar would not even move if that was the case! Well, it was not really that difficult for the players to deal so much damage to the boss. However, players would have to bear in mind that the boss could attack them, as well! The boss could deal AoE attacks to all players within the attack range with its {Storm Blades}.

Putting aside the rate of the boss activating its {Storm Blades}, each activation of the Skill could potentially cause over 5,000,000 damage to each player that is standing within its attack range. Even though the Skill is deemed to be a Melee Skill, the strike could spread out for over 200-meter radius wide. Because the boss had a long-*ss blade, he could wipe out the players more efficiently, even though the boss was just a melee-type boss.

Because of that, the players could deal less effective damage to the boss over a limited timeframe. If the rate of the boss activating his {Storm Blades} is a little bit higher, even the players with Inheritance Transformation would not survive long while standing near the boss! Just imagine it! An approximate 200,000 damage per second is really deadly! It would only take approximately 200 seconds to empty out an entire HP bar of 40,000,000 HP!

Han Ying Xue might be able to hold up against that amount of damage, if she is in her Inheritance Transformation form. However, even though she was a Healer more focused on her ability to heal multiple targets around her, she should only be capable of making sure 3 other players around her remain alive under that sort of circumstances. It would be out of her league if she is asked to heal more than 3 players around her. That should prove how difficult it was for players to hold out against the firepower of the boss!

Of course, the situation was not as f*cked up as things have been forecasted. They would be having an extremely powerful NPC to support them.

[The Green Dragon Elphenise] (Holy, Dragon)

Level: 180

HP: 1,000,000,000

Defence: 18,470

Melee Attack: 149,398 – 209,398 (Depends on Physical Attack, however, deals Fire Damage)

Skills:

[Light of Life: Recovers 1% HP in every 5 seconds. Lasts for 30 seconds.

Note: The Green Dragon is a giant dragon species that are close to mother nature. They are extremely close to the Elves. They even became the protector of the Elves.

Elphenise is a very powerful tanker to tank against Mathuven. Furthermore, she could also recover her own HP. Her HP recover per second could reach up to 200,000 HP! She could still recover over 100,000 HP even if she gets afflicted by the effect of {Destructive Smash}. As long as the Skeleton Soldiers are not in the way interrupting her, Elphenise would still be capable of healing herself without the help of the players. She could really last for quite a long period of time under the bombardment of Mathuven's attacks.

"Spectre! Why are you invading my territory!?" Elphenise had transformed into the appearance of a female elf. She was levitating while she asked Mathuven about it.

"Humph, humph, humph! By the order of my master, Angus, I'm here to claim your heart!" Mathuven laughed in a strange voice.

"How dare you!" Elphenise let out an angry roar and transformed into her dragon form immediately. She transformed into a green dragon that was approximately 300 meters long. Her appearance was actually more intimidating than the appearance of that skeletal Mathuven! The moment she opened up her mouth, Elphenise spat out a stream of {Dragon Breath} and torched every single Skeleton Soldier in the area of 200-meter radius around her with green flames. Those Skeleton Soldiers were burned to crisps within seconds!

Even if Phoenix pet and Red Dragon pet had activated their Transformation Skill, they would only be able to spread their AoE attacks as far as 30 meters out. The attack range of the Green Dragon was definitely on a whole new level! Well, it was actually normal. Just think about it, would a player with a full set of Ethereal Tier armor be as powerful as an Ethereal Tier boss?

"Hehehe! Charge! Kill them all!" Mathuven gave his order for his army to charge forward. Countless Skeleton Soldiers charged towards the Green Dragon at full speed. They were so closely-knit that they looked like a tidal wave gushing towards Elphenise! Even though these monsters were just food for powder, they were just like the players. Even if one monster could only deal 10,000 damage, the total damage that the entire horde of the army monsters could deal would be terrifying as well!

From that perspective, the boss's single attack would be very limited when it comes to battling a large number of players. So, the boss would be relying on his 'underlings' to channel their damage output on the players as well! However, the boss could really deal a number to the players with his AoE attacks! With just one simple whirl of his {Storm Blades}, players who were low on HP were instantly wiped out!

Of course, the players would not just stand there and let the Skeleton Soldiers slaughter them up. Firstly, when the Green Dragon that was acting as their 'Natural Shield' is gone, the boss battle would become even worse than it is now! Since players would only lose some durability of their equipment, everyone from all 8 Regions joined forces to fight against the Spectre Army. They did not fight amongst themselves at all.

The current situation was on accord with the background themes of this game. It was true that things were not always peaceful and harmonious among these guilds in the newly formed 'Alliance'. There would always be battles or wars happening among themselves. However, these guilds had banded together like a family when they battled against the Spectre Army. They would never turn against each other at a time like this!

These Normal Tier Skeleton Soldiers would crumple with a bang before Top Tier players like Zhang Yang himself. However, they were extremely daunting to the average players. Especially for those who had not reached Level 150, the players would have to band into parties before they could take out one single Skeleton Soldier!

Zhang Yang sent his Phoenix pet forward. Meanwhile, Hundred Shots and Fatty Han were leading up front as they charged into the horde of monsters. With two Phoenixes and a Red Dragon slaying monsters at the frontline, the players had no need to activate their Inheritance Transformation just yet. It did not matter how many monsters were charging towards them, those monsters had to die the moment they entered the range of the pets' attack range.

"Remove yourself from my Territory, Spectre!" Even though Elphenise was a female dragon, her temper was not to be trifled with. She took the initiative to launch her attacks towards Mathuven.

"Hehehe! Are you so eager to die?" Mathuven raised his sword and swung it towards Elphenise at full strength. Just right before the shiny blade could cut her neck, Elphenise raised her gigantic claws to deflect Mathuven's attack. The impact between the sharp claws and the blade sparked intensely.

"Such a pitiful strength you have!" Mathuven said with disdain. He grabbed the giant sword with both of his arms. Then, his body began to spin at high speed. As he accelerated further with his spin, he looked like a silver gyro top.

{Storm Blade}!

Players who were within the attack range of the boss were receiving a high damage value at every passing second! That 200,000 damage could instantly kill any players with armor set that was lower than Ethereal Tier! Even players with a full set of Holy Tier equipment would not be capable of receiving the full damage from the boss's {Storm Blade}. A few rounds of the attack sent the players to their own demise!

30 seconds later, there were no players within the area of 200-meter radius from the boss that survived the attack of the boss. The only one that was standing beside the boss was Elphenise!

Zhang Yang and his gang had not activated their Inheritance Transformations yet. That was because they had no idea how long the boss battle would be! All players from 8 Regions seemed to have joined their forces together for the moment. Well, the main reason was, because killing monsters and launching attacks on the boss would earn the players some 'Glory Points'. However, everything would change the moment the boss collapses and dies. Everyone would be pouring onto the loot that the boss would be dropping, because the loot would be on a 'first come first serve' basis.

The players in the vicinity were being extra careful to not get caught up in the attacks of the boss. At the same time, they were trying to slaughter as many monsters around the boss as possible. Even though 'Glory Points' are actually useless to the Top Tier players, if they could just kill the monsters around the boss faster, the Green Dragon would be in a safer state. After all, the Green Dragon was the players' super gigantic 'Meat Shield'!

Meanwhile, as long as the Green Dragon does not die, the boss would not leave his Battle mode. Because of that, the players would stand a chance at taking down the boss! Or else, the boss would straight away be swayed from his Battle Mode and there would not be any players left on his Aggro List right after he uses his {Storm Blades}. When that does happen, the boss would be able to recover his HP bar very quickly! By then, how should the players proceed on slaying the boss?

Although Zhang Yang did not activate his Inheritance Transformation yet, his Phoenix pet was a fearsome weapon at causing AoE destruction to the monsters. The two Phoenixes and a Red Dragon were unleashing their worst on the monster hordes. These three legendary creatures had taken out at least hundreds of monsters alone! Unfortunately, the sea of Experience Points they earned by killing the monsters were being shared among others like Han Ying Xue and the rest of the gang, even though they were putting in very little effort in supporting them.

Wei Yan Er was acting like a terrorist. She took out the [Elemental Bombs] made by Hundred Shots and threw them into her surrounding randomly. Not only the monsters in her surroundings were bombarded to hell, players from other 7 Regions were also blown to kingdom come, even though they were innocent!

Unfortunately for them, even after the 8 Regions had joined forces to form a temporary 'Alliance', the system would still consider them as enemies in the game. Any AoE attacks would splash on the players from other 7 Regions as well.

The battle had begun to hit its climax. The flashes of beautiful and colorful Skills were astonishing to behold!

The monsters were restricted by the Aggro system of the game. However, players could move freely according to their own free will. Therefore, they were much more flexible and agile than the monsters on the battlefield. The Tankers were lining up on the front while the Healers were healing them up from the rear. Meanwhile, DPS players were focusing their attacks on the boss and the monsters. They were very well organized. Only some of the smaller guilds were unable to survive the hordes of monsters that were charging at them. They had no choice but to drown in the monster hordes.

However, the number of players was no lesser than the number of the monsters. It was just that, there were not many Level 150 players on the battlefield. Therefore, most of them were suffering the effect of the Level Gap Suppression effect of the game. They could not deal as much damage as they should be doing, in the first place! However, after half an hour of intense battle, the army of Skeleton Soldiers was almost wiped out!

Chapter 741: Siege

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Meanwhile, the players had also suffered quite a number of casualties. Those who still had their Flying Mounts with them were still doing fine. They could just fly into the air whenever they ran low on HP. However, those who did not possess Flying Mounts had nowhere to run when their HP bars go low! Well, players who had not even reach Level 150 suffered the most. Because of the Level Gap Suppression of the game, they had to receive two times, three times, or even five times the damage they usually did. That was outrageous for them!

However, there was nothing to do for the players who died. They could only run all the way back to their dead bodies to resurrect themselves. It would only take about half an hour to get back, all the way from the Graveyard. In a way of saying in Chinese, one will become a heroic man 18 years later. This was much faster than that. Players could already come back heroically to the battlefield, half an hour later.

Because no one had really launched their attacks on the boss yet, the boss had not lost a single drop of his HP. It was not enough to move the HP bar of the boss when only the Green Dragon is battling the boss. The boss's {Spectre Build} could just fully recover Mathuven's HP bar whenever it kicked in. In the meantime, Elphenise had lost over 10% of her HP bar.

Theoretically speaking, it would take up to 5 hours for the boss to kill the Green Dragon, even if there was no interruption at all, from any players, or any sort of monsters in the vicinity.

"Heal the Green Dragon, now!" Upon clearing out the monsters around them, the players began to shift their attention to the boss. Parties from different Regions stood together to protect the Green Dragon lady. Each of them was sending their best troops of Healers over to the Green Dragon. The Healers then lined up by the rear of the Green Dragon and started healing her.

Because the body mass of the Green Dragon was gigantic, standing 30 meters behind her would also be standing approximately 300 meters away from Mathuven. Theoretically speaking, the Healers should be in a safe distance from the attack range of the boss's {Storm Blades}. However, that was just a theoretical assumption. It was not like the boss would just spin like a gyro top from where he was standing. If the boss decides to take a spin around the Green Dragon, the Healers at the rear would be instantly killed!

However, that would not affect the boss battle too much. If one dies, there would be a dozen more to fill in! The players had arranged the second batch, the third batch, or maybe even the tenth batch or the twentieth batch of Healers standing by. They were all prepared to fill in the places when the first batch of the Healers die. Well, the DPS of the boss's single unit attack could deal up to 150,000 damage. So 20 Level 130 Healers should be able to heal that much amount of HP back. After all, the ability to heal the Green Dragon would not be affected by the Level Gap Suppression at all!

Furthermore, the Green Dragon had her own way to heal herself. Therefore, the HP bar of Elphenise was beginning to recover bit by bit, even though she was receiving a tremendous amount of damage from Mathuven. Currently, the HP bars of the two bosses were at their full state. Both of their HP bars did not sway far from being full, despite raising up hell on earth!

So now, it was time for the players to launch their attacks on the boss. That should cover up the shortage of firepower of bringing the boss down to his knees. Well, that would also mean that the death counts of the players are about to start as well!

"Charge!"

Countless players were charging towards the boss like a tsunami wave. Although 99.99999999% of the players were destined to get nothing from the boss' loot later on, the players could still earn some 'Glory Points' after the boss dies. Well, as long as they contribute, they would get some 'Glory Points,' as promised. Furthermore, those who contributed in bringing down the boss would receive 2 levels as part of the reward as well! Therefore, everyone was giving their very best at throwing their attacks onto the boss.

Zhang Yang and his core party members did not make any move for the moment. Even though the goal of all 8 Regions was the same at the moment, players from different Regions were not really 'Allies,' all thanks to the system of the game. Their AoE attacks would still spread to players from different Regions as well. Meanwhile, the only thing that was waiting for the players without Inheritance Transformation Skills was death! If they are caught in the AoE splash attack of the players from their enemy Regions and die, they would not only lose a large amount of Experience Points, they would also lose their precious equipment and potions.

The higher the level, the harder it gets for a player to elevate their level. Therefore, Zhang Yang and his core party decided not to make any move, until deemed necessary. However, they were trying to estimate the rate of the boss losing his HP so that they could gauge when to activate their Inheritance Transformation Skills. It was only possible for players to hold their ground against a freaking boss and survive the boss's attacks head on when they have activated their Inheritance Transformation Skills. Well, they would still need to search for Healers to heal them up.

Meanwhile, Mathuven was extremely good at spraying his AoE Skills into the surrounding, of course. He was a World Boss, after all. The cooldown for the boss's {Storm Blades} was only 1 minute long! Furthermore, the boss had not increased the rate of activating his {Storm Blades} just yet. Once the boss's HP bar has been reduced to 20%, it would be possible that the boss would not stop once he starts spinning!

20% HP sounded like a small number. However, 20% of 50,000,000,000 HP would be a total of 10,000,000,000 HP! So, how could the players be able to deplete that amount of HP in a short period of time then?

Under the merciless bombardment from the boss, the number of casualties was rising relentlessly. However, at the same time, the players were charging into the boss like madmen. Thanks to them, they managed to contribute little by little before they died one after another. The amount of the accumulated damage dealt on the boss was quite astonishing. The HP bar of Mathuven had finally begun to fall!

Some players even learned from the mistakes of others. Since they could only forcefully deal 1 damage to the boss, they might as well take off every single equipment off and use their White-Wood Tier weapon to hit the boss. It could also forcefully deal 1 damage to the boss, after all. By doing so, the players would not have to suffer losing 10% of their equipment's durability.

-- there was one thing that even Celestial Tier equipment could not match with the White-Wood Tier equipment. The White-Wood equipment had no durability at all. They could be used for all eternity and they would never be broken! From that perspective, the White-Wood equipment could be the true Legendary equipment!

Zhang Yang did not dare to approach the boss as well. Well, he had the [Resurrection Monolith] and the broken chapters of the [Book of Revelation] with him. If he ever goes into battle and gets killed by other players, he would definitely be resurrected on the spot. If he gets killed again after that, he would definitely drop the [Resurrection Monolith]. Another death would cause him to drop the broken chapters of the [Book of Revelation]! That would be a tragedy far worse than dying for all eternity!

Furthermore, Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue were also holding a Legendary item each. One was holding another broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation] while the other was holding the [Resurrection Monolith]. Well, having more than one player holding a Legendary item in the same party would allow the party to defeat a boss in a dungeon easily. However, the party would have their hands tied in many ways when it comes to a battle royale! Any reckless actions would lead them to their doom.

However, even if they did not have the [Resurrection Monolith] and the broken chapters of the [Book of Revelation, any Top Tier player would not have charged in recklessly as well. After all, none of the Top Tier players could afford to lose a large amount of Experience Points. Top Tier players would have to basically go through heaven and hell just to collect enough Experience Points to level up. Furthermore, 'Glory Points' was not their priority. So there was no reason worthy enough for them to risk getting killed in the boss battle.

No player was capable of tanking against the onslaught of the boss for long without activating their Inheritance Transformation. Because of that, the HP bar of the boss was reducing so slowly that everyone was frowning! The players could not even reduce 0.1% of the boss's HP bar, even after tens of minutes of bombardment. If this goes on, they would not even be able to defeat the boss, even after days!

Zhang Yang could not help but recall his past life. While he was doing the 'King Kong Inheritance' quest, the situation was similar. The final boss of the Inheritance quest was as oppressive as this Mathuven. Zhang Yang and his guild had spent over 3 days defeating the boss!

Zhang Yang took a deep breath. Then he spoke into his own party chat, "Guys, don't come with me."

He rode out with his Phoenix and arrived at a spot, 30 meters from the boss.

{Glare of the Death God}!

Resisted!

What the f*ck! Zhang Yang cursed quietly deep down his heart. Then, he flew back to his party members in silence. He went in while the boss's {Storm Blade} was cooling down. Therefore, he did not sustain any damage at all.

"Haha! I've told you many times over, little Yang! You must wash your hands after using the toilet! You see! It affects your luck a lot when you're using those hands of yours to throw it!" Fatty Han immediately laughed out loud.

Endless Starlight went with the flow and started teasing as well. However, Female Raid Covent, one of the three wretched f*ckers did not join in. Instead, he was teasing Wei Yan Er. He had no time nor interest in teasing Zhang Yang at all. The little brat tightened her teeth, as she was swinging her fists round and round, trying to fend off Female Raid Covent.

Well, Wei Yan Er was not a patient person to begin with. It did not take long before she lost it and started throwing her attacks at the boss. She patted her 'Crimson Red Crow' and commanded it to attack the boss. She had no concern at all if she dies and loses Experience Points. She just wanted to have fun!

Zhang Yang gave it some thought, and he did not stop her from going all out. First of all, she had just levelled up yesterday. She would not lose much of her Experience Points even if she really dies. The only thing that she needed to worry about was that she might drop her equipment upon her death. After all, her hammer was a Holy Tier weapon.

It was a fortunate thing that Zhang Yang and his gang did not join into the boss battle for the moment. However, the 80,000 Lone Desert Smoke army had been divided into 100 platoons in order to take on the boss. Of course, they were taking turns at engaging the boss. As long as the little brat is attacking the boss within their own 'turf', she would not be caught up in the attack of other players from other Regions. So even if she really dies, all she needs to do is to run all the way back to her dead body from the Graveyard.

At a time like this, no players or no guild would have the time or the effort to spare, killing players who were running all the way back to their dead bodies. If anyone does that, that player would become public enemy number one in an instant! That player would have to bear the consequence of being hunted and killed over and over again by all players from all 8 Regions!

Meanwhile, the little brat was smart as well. After she attacked the boss for 15 seconds, she would retreat a little so that her Mythical Tier pet Crimson Red Crow would have enough time to get her out of the area of 200-meters. That would keep her in a safe distance from the attacks of the boss. As time passes, Hundred Shots, Fatty Han and the others joined the boss battle, one after another.

As more and more players were joining the boss battle, the HP bar of the boss was beginning to reduce at a faster pace. However, the players had to relentlessly dodge the {Storm Blades} of the boss. Because of that, the players could only reduce approximately 3% HP of the boss in an hour. Judging from that, they would need at least 30 hours to empty out the boss's HP!

Zhang Yang had also joined the boss battle, like everybody else. They were using the 'hit and run' tactic. Zhang Yang had not yet activated his Inheritance Transformation, though. Since he could only deal damage to the boss for a quarter of the entire time, he could only deal a very limited amount of damage to the boss.

One hour later, Zhang Yang made his second attempt at throwing his {Glare of the Death God} on the boss -- Resisted once again!

2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours… the time was passing without much of a notice. The HP bar of the boss was still reducing at a very slow pace. Some players had died 10 times over! These 'food for powder' were spending most of their time, running back to their own dead bodies. After they resurrect themselves, they would just charge in like martyrs. Hmm… there was no regret in life anymore. So, let's just run back to the dead bodies and do it all over again!

{Glare of the Death God}!

Huh? It was not resisted this time!

Finally, on the 11th hour, Zhang Yang got lucky and he succeeded in casting the {Glare of the Death God} onto the boss! At that instant, countless players were hitting the boss at the same time! In less than 0.1 second, the boss began to receive a large value of damage!

'50,000,000!'

"What the f*ck! My arrow caused 50,000,000 damage to the boss! Holy sh*t! I'm awesome!"

"Roll on your eggs and dream on! If you can really cause 50,000,000 damage with only one single hit, why are you still here then? If that's true, you could have instantly killed Zhan Yu! You should have become number one by now!"

"F*ck you, man! I didn't lie! I really did cause 50,000,000 damage to the boss just now!"

The special effect of the {Glare of the Death God} had been triggered 10 times over. A large number of players were astounded by the 'might' of the special effect. A few of them actually rose up arrogantly and claimed that they might have discovered their 'Hidden' Skills. They even claimed that they were capable of becoming Number One on the entire server!

Well, one single hit that could cause 50,000,000 damage really sounded bad *ss, though. If a player could do such a thing, they would not need any equipment or weapon anymore! They could have conquered the entire server just by attacking their enemies with normal attacks!

Those few players immediately turned around and started attacking other players who had a beef with them. Of course, they were instantly whacked to death by everyone around them -- F*ck these b*tches! It was definitely not the time for players to battle against each other, now! Finish them off and let them cool their heads at the Graveyard, then!

Well, those were just insignificant events happening around the battlefield. Zhang Yang did not think much about it at all. Instead of standing idly, he continued to hit and run. Even though he could only deal a little amount of damage to the boss, at least he was contributing.

24 hours of the in-game time had passed. In real life, a night had passed. Many players had to go to work, or go to school. Some of them applied for leave to stay in the game, though. However, because of the time zone, a number of players were logging off the game. As quickly as they went, others were logging in.

Chapter 742: The Fall of Mathuven

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The HP bar of the boss had been reduced to 36%. In between that, 10% of the boss's HP bar was reduced by the special effect of the {Glare of the Death God}. Judging by that alone, the total firepower of the players was looking weak! Meanwhile, the players could only survive for so long because they had the Green Dragon to keep the boss occupied. If the boss could run around as he liked, this battle could have ended far earlier, with all the players being wiped out.

Zhang Yang's luck was not really that great that day. Or should we say, that the boss had a high resistance against the {Glare of the Death God}? Look at Zhang Yang. After so many attempts, only one was not resisted. However, because of that one trigger, the boss battle had been shortened by 3 hours! That was quite a marvelous outcome!

If each of the tens of thousands of players' 3 hours are added up together, how many hours would that be?

It was obvious that the boss could not be taken out in a short amount of time. Although player 'God's Miracle' was equal to sleep and rest, it would be extremely exhausting for the brain cells and neurons to get the game working. As night fell, the players began to feel hungry and tired. Therefore, Zhang Yang told everyone to take an hour rest and get their empty stomachs filled.

-- it would definitely take more than just 3 hours of in-game time to empty out the remaining 36% HP bar of the boss. There was no need to worry about the other players taking out the boss all of a sudden!

However, they were not able to take their break in peace. They were still worried that the impossible might suddenly become possible. So those who took their meal had logged back into the game after 7 or 8 minutes. On the other hand, Han Ying Xue and Daffodil Daydream were putting on their make up. Zhang Yang rolled his eyes to the back of his skull at the two ladies after he saw them putting on makeup. Well, they're not going out to meet any guests. So, why the hell are they grooming themselves up nicely? It's not like anyone other than Zhang Yang would see their faces!

However, after Han Ying Xue threw a smile at him as she glanced out of the corner of her mirror, he could not help but to feel swayed a little. Instantly, he was thinking of how to let Han Ying Xue 'welcome' him as a big guest. Today was Saturday. Zhang Yang did not have to go to the office. Meanwhile, Sun Xin Yu had taken a shift to rest. The little brat had moved back to Zhang Yang's house for quite a while now. So she did what the other ladies were doing and put the blusher on her face. Well, of course, she turned her own pretty little face into a monkey *ss by the end of it.

After toying with the cosmetics for some time, she felt bored. So, she went to the side to toy with the little doggie. The doggie was initially hers. However, she left the doggie to starve when it was still a little puppy. It had learned a hard lesson and knew better than to trust the brat. The doggie would not let the little brat hug it at all. It just ran and hid on the lap of Sun Xin Yu. As expected, that little b*tch felt offended without even knowing that she had tortured that poor little soul before. She kept yelling at the doggie with anger. She even pointed fingers at the doggie saying that the doggie was devoid of gratitude after all the time she spent 'taking care' of it. Well, everyone knew that this little b*tch was a real b*tch after all.

After fooling around for a bit, everyone began to log back into the game. No one could really take it easy just yet. After all, the World Boss was not yet being taken care of!

When they logged back into the game, the HP bar of the boss had dropped to 29%. Well, it seemed that the players would be taking a lot more time in order to kill the boss.

"When the HP bar of the boss drops to 20%, the boss is going to spam his {Storm Blades} without stopping at all. By that time, everything will have to depend on players who have Inheritance Transformations, us!" Zhang Yang assembled the guildmasters of the top Tier guilds. Then he tried to propose a deal with them.

Indeed, normal players could still be the 'food for powder' at this moment. They could still take advantage of the cooldown period of the boss's {Storm Blades} and contribute a little on dealing damage to the boss. However, when the boss began to activate his {Storm Blades} more frequently than before, normal players would not even be able to get near the boss! Well, even Zhang Yang would fall if he got too close to the boss when the boss was using his {Storm Blades} at a more frequent rate!

Logically speaking, anyone would take some time to charge over 200 meters just to get to the boss. Even the Phoenix pet needed approximately 4 seconds to fly across that distance. If anyone charges into the effective range of the boss's {Storm Blades}, that person would have to sustain approximately 700,000 basic damage. Even if Zhang Yang activates his {Vitality Aura}, he would only have over 1,140,000 HP on him. So how many hits could he take with that amount of HP, then? Anyone could do the math.

Only the players who had activated their Inheritance Transformation were worthy of staying around the boss when the boss enters his 'Killing Cleave' stage. Meanwhile, they would have to apply the 'hit and run' tactic as well in order to stay alive long enough to kill the boss! Inheritances like Class C Inheritance could boost the player's HP by 10 times higher. A non-Tanker player with an entire set of Level 150 Ethereal Tier armor set would only have a basic 400,000 HP. The amount of HP the player has could be boosted up to 4,000,000 HP upon activating the Inheritance Transformation. Therefore, the players would have to retreat back to a safe distance in order to replenish their HP bar after hitting the boss for a while. If they do not do that, they would die very quickly.

However, the players also had the advantage in number. There were a lot of Healers parking themselves just right outside the area of a 200-meter radius around the boss. As long as a friendly unit comes up to them, they would just throw their Healing Skills on the player regardless of which guild the player was from. By doing so, the players would be able to re-engage into battle a little quicker.

Up until this point, all Regions had formed an unspoken rule. For example, the China Region had taken over the direction of eight and nine o'clock around the boss. The Europe Region had taken over the direction of four and five o'clock around the boss. The Regions had split the boss's surrounding area into different 'territories'. Players would not run into the 'territories' of their enemy Region at the least.

24%, 23%, 22%, 21%, 20%!

When the HP bar of the boss dropped to 20%, Mathuven began to go insane. He could chain his {Storm Blades} with a {Destructive Smash}. After that, he would immediately use his {Storm Blades} again. The flashing of Mathuven's blade was so frequent that normal players no longer had the chance to get near to the boss. They were no longer capable of contributing in bringing down the boss.

The sole firepower of the Green Dragon lady was not enough to even make up with the boss's {Spectre Build}'s HP recovery. 30 seconds later, the HP of the boss was recovered back to 21%. The pace of the boss battle was restored to the initial pace. Once again, the boss would only use his {Storm Blades} once every 60 seconds.

If there were no players with Inheritance Transformation in the vicinity, the HP bar of the boss would be forever stuck at 20%. Then the boss would become 'immortal' in a way!

"Let's go!"

Zhang Yang took the initiative to activate his Inheritance Transformation. There was no reason for him to be selfish anymore. If he acts selfishly and reserved his Inheritance Transformation at this point, they will not be able to take down the boss. When that happens, everyone in the server will receive a penalty of -3 levels! No one could afford to receive such penalty!

Meanwhile, players from all other Regions were beginning to activate their Inheritance Transformations as well. Every top Tier player in every Region no longer held themselves back. Obviously, they were thinking of a bigger picture. There was no reason for anyone to hold back now!

Zhang Yang was the first one to charge at the boss. Upon activating his Inheritance Transformation, he had over a maximum of 45,000,000 HP on him. With his super thick Defence, Zhang Yang should be able to last quite a long time under the bombardment of the boss!

Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu immediately followed Zhang Yang closely behind. As discussed earlier on, Han Ying Xue would only heal the three of them. By doing so, Zhang Yang and Sun Xin Yu would be able to stay within the attack range of the boss's {Storm Blades} without retreating at all. At the same time, they could unleash their attacks on the boss without worrying that they might die. The three of them were unleashing the full potential of a player with a Class S Inheritance!

On the other side, God's Left Hand, Heart of Destruction, Hourglass Figure and the others were beginning to charge at the boss as well. God's Left hand and Heart of Destruction glared at Zhang Yang with rage for a moment. However, they did not stir up any unnecessary battles. Instead, they vented their anger towards the boss.

Zhang Yang smiled vaguely after realized that the two did not come for him. Well, these two were still considerate enough to look at the bigger picture. They had really proved to be very reliable because they were acting maturely. That's most probably why they could become Top Tier players.

A few seconds later, players with Class A Inheritances had arrived. Well, they had a slightly slower flying speed compared to the players with Class S Inheritances. The next batch that arrived were the players with Class B and Class C Inheritances. They arrived on their flying pets. At that moment, the players did not use any other ground pets that were high Tier than their flying pets, even though they had more powerful ground pets.

Why? Because ground pets were moving very slow compared to the flying pets. Players would need to retreat when their HP bars are halfway down. They would need to move fast in order to move away from the effective range of the boss's {Storm Blades} in one piece. Without the support of the flying pets' fast movement speed. The players would only be able to hit the boss for 5 seconds before retreating. With a flying mount, the players would be able to hit the boss for 10 seconds before having the need to retreat!

Although the difference was only 5 seconds, the efficiency of the players' damage output would be improved twofold!

After all, these players were all transformed. First of all, their Attack power had been increased multiple times over. Furthermore, those who had Inheritances of Class C above were basically Level 150 by now. So only a few of them were affected by the Level gap Suppression function of the game. They could all deal full damage to the boss.

Under those circumstances, although the number of players with Inheritance Transformation was smaller, however, they were able to deal much more efficient damage to the boss than the players without Inheritance Transformations did. Ideally speaking, if they do not need to retreat after hitting the boss for awhile, they could deal even more damage to the boss within the same timeframe!

After all, the normal players were able to deal only 1 damage to the boss with a single hit. On the other hand, these players could deal tens of thousands of damage to the boss with a single hit! In other words, one player with Inheritance Transformation could replace tens of thousands of normal players in the boss battle!

{Glare of the Death God}!

Resisted!

Zhang Yang sighed heavily. However, he should be satisfied with the current situation as it was now. The {Glare of the Death God} was successfully casted on the boss once throughout the entire boss battle. However, it could be said that he had single-handedly reduced over 10% of the boss's HP bar! So what else would he want, then?

"Pest! Insolence countless pest!" Mathuven was infuriated by the attacks. He began to roar in anger, "I'm going to kill you all! Kill you all!"

The boss roared in rage. However, he could not change the fact that his HP bar was reducing slowly. 19%, 18%, 17%... if the pace of the battle could just continue on, the players would be able to empty out the boss's HP by within one and a half hour!

Without even a single doubt, the next {Glare of the Death God} was stubbornly resisted by the boss as well. However, the HP bar of the boss had dropped to 11%!

Victory was just within everyone's grasp!

However, the players were also quite exhausted and suffered quite a number of casualties as well. A small number of them attempted to stay and hit a few more times before retreating. Because of their 'greed', they were forced to activate their life-saving Skills to survive the boss's {Storm Blades}. Still, some of them did not make it and they were slaughtered for good! Meanwhile, once the players were killed, they would not be able to rejoin the battle anymore. The reason was not because they could not resurrect themselves to join back into the battle. It was because their Inheritance Transformations would no longer be available after they die. There was no way that those players would be able to get close to the boss without the support of their Inheritance Transformation which boosted their Maximum HP several times higher. They would only be sending themselves to their own demises once again if they even try to get near to the boss.

9%... 7%... 4%... 2%!

As the HP bar of the boss was reducing, the players that were dealing damage to the boss began to have devious thoughts. Well, this was a World Boss after all. So the loots that the boss would drop upon his death must be extremely valuable. Before that, the boss still had quite a substantial amount of HP left. So no one had thoughts about snatching the loots. However, now the boss was about to die, the initially formed 'Alliance' was beginning to crumble. Everyone was thinking for themselves now. The moment when the boss dies, how should they proceed on snatching the loots? That was everything on the minds of every single player who was around the boss. Well, who wouldn't want to get more good stuff for themselves?

Without any discussion, everyone descended to the ground from the sky. They wanted to get in range when the snatching starts. Meanwhile, those who were low on HP were not willing to retreat at a crucial moment like this. They could not risk that one moment when the boss dies, they might be far away from the boss. So they stayed to lower down the risk of the other players snatching the loots first.

However, that 1% or 2% HP of the boss would require the players to hit on for another tens of minutes. So it would take a while more before the boss would finally die. Well of course, those greedy bastards were naturally slain by the powerful impact of the boss's {Storm Blades}. Without their Inheritance Transformation, they had lost their capability to snatch the loots.

1%! 30,000,000! 20,000,000! 10,000,000!

Everyone began to raise their spirit because the boss was about to die!

5,000,000! 2,000,000! 1,000,000!

"NO--" Mathuven let out a miserable scream and collapsed heavily onto the ground. His gigantic sword was shattered into pieces. Among the shattered pieces of the sword, the hilt of the sword was flashing frequently. So that must be the quest item!

Almost everyone was charging towards that flashing hilt at the same instant!

"What an imbecile! Can't even get the thing done! I'll do it myself!"

Suddenly, a cold and deep voice echoed through the entire area. Every single player in the vicinity was suddenly 'imprisoned' somehow. A dark shadow sudden broke out of a void space in the middle of the air. The entire area was overwhelmed with the terrifying aura in an instant. Dark clouds began to cloud the entire sky. The atmosphere was astoundingly terrifying!

The moment that dark shadow appeared, the dark shadow lashed out at at the Green Dragon! The jab was so unexpected and fast that no one could react until it happened!

"ARGH --" Elphenise cried miserably after the prodding. This powerful Holy Tier boss was being killed instantly by one single jab?! That was insane! Upon her death, her gigantic heart glowing in green radiance was grabbed by the hand of the dark shadow!

"Enjoy your remaining lives while you still can! Not long after, the entire land will be devoured by darkness! Everyone on this land will become one of my slaves!" The dark shadow tore the void space open and went away.

Chapter 743: A Sight to Behold: The Lord of the Seven Spectre King

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although the dark shadow appeared incredibly sudden, it also left the vicinity incredibly fast as well. However, everyone was able to have a good look at the information of the dark shadow!

[Angus, The Lord of the Seven Spectre King] (Celestial, Spectre)

Level: ???

HP: ???

Defence: ???

Melee Attack: ???

Skills: ???

Note: Angus was once a human warrior who was kind and brave. However, because his great merits made the King uneasy. So, the King framed him and exiled him to the land of the orcs. He succumbed after cutting through hordes of orcs. His undying vengeance had resurrected him from his death. From that day on, he became a Spectre! His strength is undoubtedly powerful. It did not take long for him to become the Lord of the Seven Spectre King, the highest of the higher in the realm of Spectre. He is the one Spectre that will send tremors across the entire land!

Although there were a lot of question marks, everyone was taking in cold breaths by just looking at the NPC's name and his Tier.

A Celestial Tier boss!

The power of a Celestial Tier boss would surely be unique and powerful. This Angus took out the Holy Tier Green Dragon lady with one punch! Of course, that was definitely a part of the drama of this game. Even a Celestial Tier boss would not have dealt 1,000,000,000 damage in a single hit! If that is possible, the players would never stand a chance at defeating that boss!

The moment Angus left, the terrifying aura instantly disappeared. Everyone regained control of their own movements again!

Snatch!

The once 'imprisoned' players continued to fly towards the loot. They instantly activated their Invincibility Effect -- if they had any on them at the moment. It would not be ideal to attempt killing the other players at that instant. It would be more important if the players throw their Status Restriction Skills on their opponents while making themselves invulnerable to all Status Restriction Skills. By doing so, they would still stand a chance to snatch the loots from the ground!

The bunch of players landed on the ground. They looked like a swarm of grasshoppers stomping into the yard. The boss had initially dropped at least 20 pieces of equipment and items. However, they were all swept cleaned from the ground in one short instance!

The players were mercilessly ferocious when it came down to snatching loots!

Everyone was looking at each other after that. They were judging the others for being so mindless. However, they had not thought that they had actually acted the same way. At that time, it did not matter if they manage to snatch any loots or not, everyone was frowning. They were expressing that they did not manage to get anything good up from the ground!

Well, it made perfect sense why everyone was acting in such a way. First of all, there were countless players in the vicinity. Whoever tried to show off what good stuff he or she gets would definitely become the primary target of everyone who had not acquired anything out of the snatching session.

Even though Mathuven was a World boss and he did drop quite a number of loots, but those 20 pieces of equipment and items would be far from enough to be distributed among so many players. Even if they equally divide the loots among the guilds, only 20 guilds would be satisfied with the outcome of it! After all, the entire China Region had more than just 20 guilds. Surely not every Top Tier guild would be able to get any benefits from the snatching. If the guilds were to battle against each other to spark a wave of new guild wars, even Lone Desert Smoke would be overwhelmed!

Zhang Yang swept through the crowd with his eyes. His main purpose was to spot if anyone had a 'holy' light shining down on their heads. The player with the light shining down on them would be the person who was holding a broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation]! However, other than Sun Xin Yu, everyone seemed 'clean'. Therefore, he had no intention to provoke anyone this time around.

Truth to be told, he really wanted to kill as many players as he wanted so that the players would drop the items and equipment they picked up from among the loots. However, Zhang Yang had no idea who picked up the loots. Attacking players without any clue might spark a guild war between his guild and the other guilds!

So, it would be wise to stand down this time. Therefore, Zhang Yang decided to retreat a little and have a look at Sun Xin Yu, Han Ying Xue, and the others. He wanted to check on them to see if any of them had managed to pick up anything good.

Well, hehe! The quest time had been obtained by him!

After killing the boss and looting the loot on the ground, there was no reason for any one of them to stay. Everyone began to tear their Teleportation Scrolls and left the area. They were teleported back to their own Territories. Even though most of the players did not get anything from the loots, they were not disappointed at all. After all, as long as someone manages to pick up the Hilt of Mathuven and hand it in, everyone who takes part in the boss battle would be rewarded with 2 levels!

Other than that, everyone managed to earn quite a number of 'Glory Points'. Those lower level players were already on their way to see the Officer NPCs that were located at every main city. Well, the 'Glory Points' could be used to exchange for some good equipment after all. Although the military equipment that they could exchange from the Officers were a little bit weaker than the dungeon equipment of the same level, these military equipment were still the best choice for players that were not capable of clearing Hardcore Mode of a dungeon by themselves.

Zhang Yang and his party members gathered by Souron's Castle. Then, they began to look at the 'fruits' that they harvested from the boss battle!

Zhang Yang did not even aim to get any of the equipment for himself. Even though a Holy Tier equipment was extremely valuable and rare, he would only be able to use the equipment for another half a year even if he could get a Level 160 – 180 Ascended Tier equipment for himself. However, if he could get some unique items such as a Skill Book, he could use the Skill or other useful items efficiently until he reaches Level 300!

For instance, look at Zhang Yang's {Charge Up Strike}! For another instance, look at Zhang Yang's {Glare of the Death God}! These Skills are something that can not be compared to any equipment available out there. These Skills could be described as one of those legendary 'equipment'!

Therefore, Zhang Yang only aimed to acquire the quest item -- Mathuven's Hilt! Furthermore, he could complete the quest by handling the quest item to the NPC. Not only could he earn Experience Points and 'Military Points', he could also acquire a piece of Holy Tier Accessory for every member in his party!

One small quest item in exchange for 10 pieces of Holy Tier Accessories sounded to be too good a deal right?

When Zhang Yang showed his party members the Mathuven's Hilt, everyone began to put a smile on their faces. Then everyone laughed. Even though not all of them managed to secure anything from the loots when the boss died, they could still get one precious piece of Holy Tier Accessory just because had Zhang Yang acquired the Mathuven's Hilt! That really made every single one of them the final winner of the entire boss battle!

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang did not just snatch one item. He also managed to secure two pieces of [Top Tier Aura Stones]!

The moment he revealed the two pieces of [Top Tier Aura Stones, Han Ying Xue immediately snatched one of them and put it to use. She finally enhanced her {Life Aura} to its max level! The other [Top Tier Aura Stone] was given to Sun Xin Yu. Zhang Yang's main intention was to let her enhance her {Critical Aura} as much as possible. Because Fatty Han and Hundred Shots had {Companion Aura} that would only work on pets. Meanwhile, Wei Yan Er's {Strength Aura} could only boost the party's Strength. It would definitely be more efficient if they enhance a Skill that could boost the Critical Rate of the entire party!

After that, Wei Yan Er also revealed one piece of loot that she managed to snatch. It was a heavy armor that radiated in a dark silver light!

[Skeleton King's Chest Plate] (Holy, Heavy Armor)

Defence: 640

Vitality: 16,803

Strength: 4,120

Agility: 1,750

{Level 6 Socket 1}

{Level 6 Socket 2}

Equip: Increases Maximum HP by 33,600 points.

Equip: Increases both Damage and Healing Efficiency by 10%.

Equip: Absorbs 1,778 damage when being hit.

Required Level: 180

Special: Reduces Required Level 20.

The moment the attributes of the armor were revealed, the three party members that needed Heavy Armor became really interested in getting it. After rolling for it, Zhang Yang managed to triumph over that little brat and Endless Starlight with 76 points. He secured that armor and put it on immediately.

"God damn it! I'm the one who snatched it in the first place! How did it end up in the hands of noob tank!?" Wei Yan Er pouted as she complained with absolute prejudice.

Han Ying Xue threw a sexy smile at Zhang Yang. Well, she did not acquire any good equipment. Instead, she got a precious [Forbidden Scroll]!

[Forbidden Scroll: Eclipse] (Consumable)

Use: Activates an Eclipse. Causes tremendous amount of damage to all enemy targets within the range of 10-kilometer radius. All targets lose 10% of their HP. If the target has less than 50,000 HP, that player will suffer a minimum deduction of 50,000 HP; if the target has more than 200,000 HP, then the target will suffer a deduction of 200,000 HP maximum. Lasts for 30 seconds.

Required Level: 150

"This… this is an enhanced version of a Forbidden Scroll!" Everyone took a cold deep breath.

It works just like the apocalyptic special. This scroll would reduce 10% of all targets' HP in each passing second. However, this scroll did not have the limitation of a minimum deduction of 50,000 HP and a maximum deduction of 100,000 HP. Furthermore, the effective range of this scroll could reach out to 10 kilometers!

In other words, this [Forbidden Scroll: Eclipse] could deduct a maximum of 6,000,000 HP of a target within its effective range! Well, it would still be fair because players' equipment would be getting better and better as the game advances. The limitation on a Forbidden Scroll in deducting a maximum of 100,000 HP no longer threatened players with Class C Inheritance Transformations. Meanwhile, if that deduction is increased up to a maximum of 200,000 HP, that could even pose quite a threat to players with Class B Inheritance Transformations.

Other than that, the limitation on the minimum HP deduction of the Forbidden Scroll had created the tactic of talking off equipment to minimize the damage received. However, the effect had been largely nerfed. After all, players who were losing 50,000 HP in every second would require a very powerful Healer in order to stay alive!

"This is good stuff!" Zhang Yang quickly put the Forbidden Scroll into his inventory. Because the 'destructive' little brat's eyes were glittering with 'grave danger', Zhang Yang had to act fast and keep the Forbidden Scroll away from her to prevent her from snatching the scroll. Well, if she ever gets the scroll, she would definitely 'test' it out for fun and waste it away!

"Having this 'toy' in our possession is like having another nuke at disposal!" Zhang Yang laughed. Then he decided to put the Forbidden Scroll on sale after he went back to the main city. However, he would put the minimal bidding for the scroll as 99,999,999,999,999 gold pieces. That was one amount that even if someone manages to sell the entire earth, would still have not enough gold pieces to buy that scroll! Well, his initial intention was not to sell that scroll. Zhang Yang just wanted the news to spread out. He just wanted to send a message to all his enemies to f*ck off, or else he would slam them to death with the scroll!

-- There were only 4 high Tier Territories in the entire server. So it was natural that the other 4 Regions who did not possess any of the 4 high Tier Territories would launch a Territory Conquest on the Territories. Now that Zhang Yang had the words running through everyone's ears that he had a new Forbidden Scroll, at least, Souron's Castle would receive lesser challenges from the other Regions.

Other members of the gang had nothing to offer as they couldn't move as fast as others. Meanwhile, even though Daffodil Daydream had activated her Class A Inheritance Transformation, she had run out of Status Removal Skills when they began to snatch the loots. As she was flying in the sky, she was stunned for a few seconds. Therefore, she could not get anything out of the loots. And now, everyone turned their eyes over at Sun Xin Yu.

Sun Xin Yu's face was covered with a black cloth as usual, making it impossible to read her expression. She took out a book from her inventory and threw it over to Zhang Yang.

[Book of Revelation: Chapter 1] (Legendary, Unique)

Description: -

Use: Combine this item with [Book of Revelation: Chapter 2].

"Haha! Another broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation] has shown itself!" Everyone was pleasantly surprised.

Sun Xin Yu looked at Han Ying Xue with her very mysterious, provocative eyes. Her intention was clear. She wanted to indicate that she found something much more useful than Han Ying Xue.

Although the effect of the [Forbidden Scroll] was extremely powerful, it was a one-time item, after all. Meanwhile, the broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation] could be combined with the other broken chapters to become a Legendary item. The benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom. Whichever works better depends on the person and how the person defines them. Well, even though the [Forbidden Scroll] could only be used once, it was so powerful that it could be used to threaten other players or even guilds in the game. So, if Zhang Yang decides not to use it, he could just store it nicely to use it as a 'nuke'.

Han Ying Xue was not willing to give in to that ice queen, as usual. She gave a vague humph back at Sun Xin Yu. After that, the two ladies turned and looked at Zhang Yang at the same instant. It seemed that they wanted the man to decide who did better, this time around.

This… this is like telling a man to step either on a Lego block or a coral. Picking either side would not end well at all! Therefore, Zhang Yang acted like he did not notice it at all and said, "Let's go back to hand in the quest!"

Well, the reward of this quest was a piece of Holy Tier Accessory, after all!.

Everyone was filled with joy and excitement. Even Zhang Yang only had two pieces of Mythical Tier Accessories. Now might be his best chance to switch one of his lousy Accessory for a better one!

Zhang Yang and his gang went back to the main city through the Teleportation Circle, one after another. They went back to look for the green little goblin Guraj so that they could hand over the quest for the rewards.

Chapter 744: Dark Source Stone

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

'Ding! You have completed a quest: Protect the Giant Dragon! You have received the rewards: 50,000,000 Experience Points, 1,000 Military Points.'

'Ding! You have acquired an Item: Sacred Badge.'

'Ding! You have acquired the additional reward: 2 Levels!'

Well, it was unfortunate that the appearance of Angus had led to the demise of the great Green Dragon lady. She got killed by a single blow from Angus! However, the entire event was just an 'accidental event'. As a quest, the players did their best at making sure that Mathuven does not kill the Green Dragon. Angus appearing out of nowhere was just part of the 'necessary' drama.

It was a predetermined event. The script had already been set down that the Spectre would succeed on acquiring the heart of the Green Dragon, creating 'Darkness Falls' to terrorize the world. Therefore, it would not matter even of the players fail to protect the Green Dragon in the quest. The outcome of the quest would remain the same.

The reward of increasing by two levels was certainly a good consolation for every player in the game. Zhang Yang had shot up to Level 167, instantly. Comparing to his previous life, he would be half a year ahead of his own progress in his past life now! In his previous life, Zhang Yang had the advantage of having high Tier players babysitting him through the dungeons. Well, part of it was because he was quite a lucky bastard to be able to meet high Tier players whenever he waited the entrance of dungeons. Meanwhile, there were no players snatching or competing against him in the low-level regions of the maps. So, Zhang Yang managed to level up very quickly before he reached Level 100.

"Heroes and heroines, even though the heart of the giant dragon has been acquired by the Spectre, but you have slain that *sshole Mathuven! That should give quite a blow to the morale of the Spectres!" Guraj praised Zhang Yang and his gang. Then he said, "However, the fact that the Spectre have acquired the Heart of the dragon cannot be undone anymore! They can now finish developing their 'Darkness Falls'! Therefore, you must work harder at stopping them! Go! Blow up their warehouse! They are storing a large number of [Dark Source Stones] in their warehouse! Those stones are the last items they need to complete building their weapon of mass destruction! Blow them up to kingdom come!"

'Ding! Guraj has given you a quest: Dark Source Stone. Will you accept it?'

Everyone selected 'Accept,' of course. There was no reason for them to decline at all.

'Ding! You have acquired an item: Goblin's High Explosive Bomb – Enhanced Destroyer IV.'

"Hey! What are you guys staring at? Go now! Did you really think I was going to treat you to a dinner!?" Guraj immediately hustled Zhang Yang and the gang out from the Adventurer's Society.

The location of the 'Dark Source Stone' quest was located back at the lair of the Spectre, The Plagued Land. However, it was not the Malevolent Tower where Wraith King of Death - Madravich lay. After all, who would be foolish enough to provoke the Celestial Tier boss, the Leader of the Seven Wraith! According to the official information of the game, Angus is just a Level 230 boss while Madravich is a Level 300 boss! The difference between the strengths of the two boss is huge!

The moment Zhang Yang and his gang received the quest, every other player who was Level 160 and beyond received the quest as well. Furthermore, because players who participated in the boss battle to slay Mathuven had acquired the reward of 2 levels, many players who were stuck at Level 158 suddenly shot up to Level 160. Because of that, the number of Level 160 players had increased drastically.

For instance, Female Raid Covent, that *ss-face, was also one of them! Well, he and his best pal Ten Dusk had formed a new party with Galileo and the other powerful players in Lone Desert Smoke's sub-guild. They ventured over to the location of the quest with great spirits. They even claimed that they would overtake Zhang Yang's progress and complete the quest before Zhang Yang and his gang even gets close!

Well, an utter *ss would remain an *ss for all eternity!

After a few similar quests, they knew that they needed to slay many monsters for many days in order to let the system spawn out the location where they could throw the bomb. Well, when the number of monsters slain reaches a certain number, only would the boss for the quest be spawned. Furthermore, the boss must be taken care of before the players can throw the bomb and complete the quest.

Therefore, Zhang Yang's party of ten did not rush at all. They were going around doing random stuffs while getting themselves prepared for the quest. After all, they had been battling Mathuven for over 30 hours. The last thing they needed now was more fighting.

Lying on the bed with Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue, Zhang Yang and the two ladies were having the 'fun' of their lives, like a dragon dominating two phoenixes! Zhang Yang did a splendid job of pleasing the two ladies, to the point that they were totally dominated by him. After they were done, they got close together and whispered into each other's ears. After feeding each other some sweet words only meant for husbands and wifes, the three of them logged back into the game. When they arrived, they realized that they were the only ones who had not arrived at the gathering. Everyone was guessing what took them so long.

Daffodil Daydream could still keep the secret to herself. However, Wei Yan Er could not resist the temptation at all. Without much of an effort, the other gang managed to tease the little brat into telling the truth saying that Zhang Yang and the two ladies were in the same room all the while! Everyone let out a surprised 'Oh!' and fixed their eyes on the three of them.

That little brat!

Zhang Yang quickly picked up Wei Yan Er like picking up a cat and threw her over to Han Ying Xue. Well, he intended to prevent that little brat from exposing more and more 'private' saucy tales of his and the two ladies. Well, if that does happen, Zhang Yang's prestige as a leader would drop like hell.

Zhang Yang and the gang made their way to The Plagued Land. The moment they crossed the border, they saw that the entire motherland of the Spectre was grey. The entire land was basically a wasteland. There were countless of skeletal corpses roaming around the mountains and the wilderness of the entire land.

However, they also noticed that many guilds had already entered The Plagued Land. There was quite a number of parties in the area at the moment. Some were flying in the sky, while the others were on foot, slaying monsters. Further away, there were also other parties arriving from all directions at the same time. They were all going to the same place, after all.

This Main Story Quest was open to all. As long as the players reach the Required Level of the quest, they would be able to take part. Therefore, no one could keep the boss all to themselves. They would have to compete against each other in order to kill the boss and claim the loot to themselves. Well, that was most probably the main reason why the competition among the parties was getting more intense at every passing second! Zhang Yang and the gang were extremely annoyed. They had been busting their *sses to snatch the quests to themselves. However, they would have to repeatedly charge back into the crowd when the next quest is issued. It was really tiring!

Well, if the system did not set the quest to be open to all, taking down Mathuven would be almost impossible! Lone Desert Smoke would not be capable of taking down Mathuven all by themselves, after all. Mathuven was labeled as a World Boss for a reason. Players from all around the world should join forces in order to take down w World Boss. Other than that, they would have to trigger the drama mode to see if they get a powerful NPC to support them in battle!

The warehouse where the Spectre stored their [Dark Source Stones] was located in the Rokuta Castle. That place was a fully fortified fortress. The fortress was built on a cliff. The only way in and out was the front of the fortress. There were countless Magic Cannons around the castle walls as the Defencive placements of the castle. If the players really want to march into the castle through the front, they would only do so at a heavy cost.

However, players with flying mounts would not be facing that much of a problem getting into the castle. They could just fly straight towards the entrance at full speed. Well, they would only have to suffer one or two blasts from the Magic Cannons. At the current stage of the game, the HP amount that the players had would be sufficient enough to survive one or two blasts from the Magic Cannons. Well, each blast of the Magic Cannons could cause only 150,000 damage. That amount of damage was far from enough to instantly kill a player with better Tier equipment.

Without wasting any breath, Zhang Yang and the gang split out and entered the castle through the front entrance. Although they were greeted with a few blasts from the Magic Cannons, they were able to withstand the amount of damage that the Magic Cannons could cause on them without the help of Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart.

Upon landing into the castle, Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart quickly healed everyone back up. When everyone was back at their full health states, the party began to slaughter any monsters in the vicinity.

"Rawgh --" Suddenly, a gigantic, white-boned, corroded beast appeared before the gang. It was about ten meters tall and 30 meters long. This creature looked like it had been patched up with some glue and some broken bones. Its rotten meat had some bone spikes growing out of it. There was also greenish and greyish liquid flowing out from the beast's body. The beast was gross and hideous to look at!

[Concentrated Acidic Corrosive Beast] (Elite, Spectre)

Level: 175

HP: 5,250,000

Defence: 7,000

Melee Attack: 40,822 – 60,822

Skills:

[Strong Hydrochloric Acid: Causes 3,000 Nature Damage to all targets within the range of 20 meters radius once every 3 seconds. Lasts for 15 seconds. Stacks up to 3 layers maximum.

[Strong Nitric Acid: Causes 10,000 Nature damage to all targets within the range of 20 meters once every 3 seconds. Lasts for 15 seconds. Cannot be stacked.

[Nitric Acid Hydrochloric Reaction: If the target is afflicted with 3 layers of {Strong Hydrochloric Acid} and {Strong Nitric Acid effects}, the target will receive additional 100% damage.

"What the f*ck! This monster is a little bit more powerful than I thought!" Everyone was surprised to see the description of the monster.

"Hehe! Nitric Acid Hydrochloric!" Fatty Han suddenly began to imagine some f*cked up thing in his mind. Well, everyone knew better that it had to mean more than that. The 'Nitric Acid Hydrochloric' in his mind must be something crooked.

"Come on, fatty! Nitric Acid Hydrochloric is science! So stop thinking weird things in that dirty head of yours!"

"Boo -- you burst my steam!"

Well, since that the monster had presented itself nicely in front of them, they just charged in and slaughtered the monster. Zhang Yang was the vanguard, as always. He began by throwing a {Spear of Obliteration} at the monster. '-193,892!' a high damage value popped out on top of the monster, Zhang Yang's current Attack power had increased so much that it was about to be as much as his Attack power when he activates his God of War Transformation!

"Owh!" The corroded beast groaned in pain. It let out a raging roar and quivered. Suddenly, countless greyish, green liquid spewed out from its body into the surroundings. However, there was no one standing within the range of 20 meters from the beast. The liquid was spraying onto the ground without touching anyone, or anything.

However, when Zhang Yang and his gang went up to the beast and started their attacks on the beast, the beast began to quiver again and sprayed the gooish liquid from its body. This time, everyone had no way of dodging the liquid because they were very close up to the beast. They were afflicted by the corrosive effect of the acidic liquid. Those liquid were so gross that the ladies were screaming like little b*tches! However, the firepower of the party was extremely powerful. They took less than 10 seconds to slay the beast. The beast did not even get its chance to spray the gooish liquid for the third time.

The gang proceeded forwards after that. The entire castle was flooded with these corroded beasts. Because of the {Nitric Acid Hydrochloric Reaction}, Zhang Yang and the gang did not dare lure too many monsters at once. Or else the DOT that 3 layers of {Strong Hydrochloric Acid} and {Strong Nitric Acid effects} could cause on them would be disastrous! Well, they would be receiving an additional 100% damage from the monster's attack when that happens.

"Hey, little lolly! Where are you guys now?" Female Raid Covent barged into Zhang Yang and his gang's party chat all of a sudden. He was not willing to give up on trying to tackle the little brat, after all.

After Zhang Yang and his gang revealed their location, the two parties gathered quickly in the castle. The 20 of them joined forces to clear out the monsters. Of course, they were able to clear out the monsters in the area more efficiently by doing so. Well, comparisons are odious. Even though Ten Dusk and his party also had handsome, skilled players like Galileo, they were no match at all to Zhang Yang and his gang when it comes to comparing!

When Zhang Yang and his gang kill two to three corroded beasts, Galileo and his other party members had only managed to kill one corroded beast. The difference between the capabilities of the two parties was striking!

Unfortunately for them, the core party of the Lone Desert Smoke had 3 players with Class S Inheritance, 2 players with Class A Inheritance, and 5 players with Class B Inheritance! Furthermore, the players also had 3 Legendary Tier pets and one Battle Companion capable of activating a Transformation Skill to support them in battle! There was no other party in the entire server that would have such a powerful lineup!

The interior of the castle was open on all sides. Everyone could see different parties battling corroded beasts at every passage in the castle. However, the players deduced that they would need to kill the monsters for days before the boss shows its face!

The number of monsters in the castle was abundant. Although the number of players in the vicinity was high, they had no need to worry that they might run out of monsters to kill. They had no need to snatch other players' monsters as well. This area was a rare area for the players to grind for Experience Points!

Well, the players were not really riled up yet at the moment, It was most probably because they had been through a long boss battle not long ago. They were certainly bored out of their brains by now. Well, a repetitive thing would definitely get the players bored, just like having them go to the office and work every day.

Because of that, Zhang Yang disbanded the party and commanded them to take a day off. He wanted everyone to breathe some fresh air out in the real world for a bit. However, they should keep their phone switched on. If the boss suddenly spawns, Zhang Yang could still reach them, and they could still log into the game in time. Since they logged out of the game in the castle, it should be much easier for them to gather again when they log back into the game.

Chapter 745: Newly Researched and Developed Corrosive Beast

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Coincidentally, there was a Christmas party at the Zhou Shu University at night. Zhang Yang brought the ladies over to the university to visit Wei Yan Er. The more the merrier, right? With Zhang Yang's current achievement, he could be considered as an honored Alumni of the university. Whenever there was a tenth anniversary or a fifth-anniversary celebration going on in the university, Zhang Yang would definitely be invited over to attend.

It has been more than two years since he graduated. Zhang Yang walked down memory lane. He remembered that he was all alone when he was walking on the roads in the university. Now, he had so many ladies around him. Furthermore, these ladies were just beautiful! His life had changed so much ever since he left the university. He could not even believe the contrast between his past and his current situation! The difference was like heaven and earth!

Since Zhang Yang had arrived, he decided to take a short moment to reconnect with Yu Li. Well, because of that, he disappeared from the sights of Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue for more than an hour. The two ladies kept trying to interrogate him about his whereabouts for the past hour -- does he need an hour to go to the washroom?

At night, it was natural that there were quite a number of pretty ladies around the vicinity of the vent. Each age bring forth new beauties on this noble land. Even though he had not yet seen someone as beautiful as Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu, the ladies that he saw could still score a 7, or even 8 out of 10. Well, Zhang Yang did get a good wash of his eyes that night.

Han Ying Xue pouted gracefully and gave a nice pinch on Zhang Yang's waist. The pain spread out throughout his entire body as he cried in misery. Well, that witch did not really know that Zhang Yang had no bad thoughts on his mind at all. He was purely admiring the beautiful 'sights' that lay before his eyes. If he really wanted to be a playboy, there were tons of pretty ladies in his office, waiting to welcome him with their two legs wide open!

That night, none of them logged into the game. They had a good rest throughout the entire night.

On the second day, everyone logged into the game after they woke up. Then they continued to venture deeper into Rokuta Castle. After a good rest, everyone seemed to be more energetic and refreshed. Unlike yesterday where they were moving like zombies, they were more fired up as they slew the monsters in the surroundings today.

Well, thanks to the 2 levels reward, more players have managed to enter the Rokuta Castle. Well, quite a number of them had almost reached Level 160. The reward had brought them up to Level 160 and beyond. Some players knew that it would be extremely hard to snatch the boss for their own benefits or to complete the quest. However, they still came along because they wanted to see if they would be lucky enough to take advantage of others and get some Holy Tier equipment.

Well, Holy Tier equipment was still rare among the players. Even Lone Desert Smoke had less than 40 pieces of Holy Tier equipment in their possession. Normal players would have no other chance of acquiring one at the moment.

One day, two days, three days... time lapsed slowly. Most of the monsters in the castle had been slaughtered. Well, this region had been temporarily added to fulfill the conditions of the quest. So, the monsters in this region would not respawn once every 5 hours, like the other Elite Tier monsters out in the other areas. Well, as long as players could clear out the monsters in this vicinity, the boss would be spawned.

When a party manages to complete the quest and hand in the quest, this region would automatically vanish. As described in the quest description, this area would be 'leveled down to the ground by a bomb'. However, if no one could complete the quest and hand in the quest in one month, the monsters in this region would respawn. That would give the other parties a second chance to complete the quest.

Because the number of parties that entered the region was more than enough, there was basically no monsters left in the vicinity on the fifth day. The moment the last monster was slain, everyone in the region heard a thunderous roar echoing through the entire region. Right in the middle of the square of the castle, a gigantic corroded beast spawned. This beast was about hundreds of meters tall. It was about hundreds of meters long as well. Its body mass was about the size of a small mountain. The body mass of the monster was far larger than any other building in the vicinity of the entire castle.

[Newly Researched and Developed Corrosive Beast]

Level: 180

HP: 18,000,000,000

Defence: 18,470

Melee Attack: 149,398 – 209,398

Skills:

[Strong Hydrochloric Acid: Shoots concentrated corrosive Hydrochloric Acid to all targets within the range of 50-meter radius. Targets will be afflicted with 3 layers of {Strong Hydrochloric Acid} effects. Each layer of {Strong Hydrochloric Acid} effect will cause 20,000 Nature Damage to each target once in every 3 seconds. One layer will be removed once in every 15 seconds.

[Strong Nitric Acid: Causes 10,000 Nature damage to all targets within the range of 50 meters once in every 3 seconds. Last for 15 seconds. If the target has 3 layers of {Strong Hydrochloric Acid} effects, the effects will turn into the effect of {Nitric Acid Hydrochloric Reaction} and cause 300,000 Damage to the target.

[Bone Spikes: Causes 100% Melee Attack of Physical Damage to the target.

[Spectre Build: Recovers 1% HP in every 30 seconds. The amount of HP recovery will not be affected by any other effects.

Note: This is a weapon of war that has been newly developed by the Spectres. Because the number of this monster is extremely rare, this weapon cannot be duplicated to form a massive army.

The moment when the boss was spawned. The entire castle was immediately sealed by an air wall! The players who were outside the vicinity could no longer go in! That was actually a safety measure made by the developers of the game. They wanted to prevent any players from taking advantage of the other players who had worked hard to bring down the boss. Some players would take advantage of other players by waiting for other players to bring down the HP bar of the boss. When the boss is about to die, these players would rush in to snatch the outcome of the battle for themselves.

However, the intelligence of the players was not to be underestimated. In the previous boss battle when players were battling against the Spiritual Beast King, some players attempted to use 'player planting' tactic, and they worked. The so-called 'player planting' tactic was to let most of the party's players go offline first. Only a few of them stayed to observe the battle. When the battle reaches its crucial moment, those players would inform their party members to come back online. By doing so, they could reserve their strength until they were required to engage in battle.

However, it seemed that they had also underestimated the intelligence of the game designers. Those who attempted to use the 'player planting' tactic had soon found out that they would appear by the Teleportation Circle that they tied their Teleportation Scroll on! What a tragic situation!

Well, they only can blame themselves for that. If 'player planting' could be used anywhere players wanted, too many players would abuse the tactic. If 'player planting' could be used anywhere and anytime, then players would be able to form a 1,000-player party to enter a 50-player scale dungeon! They could just allow 950 players to go offline first. When one player in the dungeon dies, they could just ask a new substitute to log back into the game and continue in the dead player's place! It would become outrageous, because players would be able to challenge dungeon boss with numbers!

This corroded beast boss was not that hard to kill for a top Tier party. Unlike Mathuven who was a World Boss which required players to swarm up in order to kill him, this corroded beast boss could be taken down by 10 powerful players who have activated their Inheritance Transformation.

Therefore, killing the boss was not the top priority for the top Tier parties. Their top priority was to clear out their opponents while the air wall is still around!

Instantly, a chaotic battle royale began! In just an instant, hundreds of players were mercilessly terminated. They were forcefully turned into streams of white light before they were forcefully sent back to the Graveyard! Furthermore, because of the air wall, the players who got killed could only choose to resurrect themselves in their weakened forms. Or else, they would have to wait until the boss battle is over before they could run back to their dead bodies in the castle.

Zhang Yang combined two of his parties into one. So, he and his newly merged party of 20 began to take out their opponents as well. Well, whoever had come for the boss should realize that they would have to go through a lot of players before they could get to the boss! No one on the battlefield would go easy on anyone. Only idiots would roll dices to see who gets to the boss first. Furthermore, those who could not afford to 'play' could just leave with their Teleportation Scrolls!

Some parties tried and died. Some parties were acting carefully. So they gathered back to the main cities. Meanwhile, there were also some parties hiding into buildings around the castle. They were hoping that they could charge out and take advantage of the others who were battling out there at the crucial moment of the boss battle.

Of course, the boss was not weak at all. Because no one had the boss's aggro fixed on anyone, the boss began to unleash its deadly attacks at the players in its surrounding randomly! The boss would activate its {Strong Hydrochloric Acid} once almost every minute. Meanwhile, it would also activate its {Strong Nitric Acid} once every 15 seconds. Theoretically speaking, players would have to suffer the boss's {Nitric Acid Hydrochloric Reaction} effect once in every passing minute. Not everyone could sustain 300,000 damage and still stand still like nothing has happened!

The players on the battlefield had to handle the PvP matches that came straight up at them while sustaining damage from the boss's attacks head-on. The stress level was enormous. The players were activating their Inheritance Transformation one after another, as the battles went on. It would be a stupid attempt to try reserving their best Skills at a time like this. If they did, they would definitely be wiped out by other players.

Under the bombardment from two sides, the number of casualties was rising tremendously. Players were getting killed at every passing moment, every passing second. They were turned into white lights and went back to the Graveyard. It did not take long before the top Tier players were the only ones who remained on the battlefield. For instance, Lone Desert Smoke, Hell Family and Land of Savages were still battling fiercely on the battlefield,

Most of the parties had merged their forces together to form an Alliance with the intention to take out the parties that were much more powerful than them. When their worst enemies were all dead, the Alliances would dissolve and they would turn against each other to see who would last till the end.

Fierce battles were happening on every corner of the battlefield. The weaker parties were being eliminated one after another. Well, among the strong there is always a stronger. Even top Tier parties from top Tier guilds like Dark Palace and Paragon had been eliminated, one after another as well! Lone Desert Smoke and Crimson Rage managed to hold until the very last by the end of the battle royale. For that, Zhang Yang had paid a heavy price as well. He even gave up the chance of completing the quest over to the Crimson Rage. However, the Lone Desert Smoke would still get to keep the loot other than the equipment.

Truth be told, this quest would only reward each player with 500 Military Points. Although Zhang Yang felt a heartache while giving away the 'ticket' to completing this quest, he would be able to earn even more if the boss would just drop a Forbidden Scroll or a powerful Skill book.

Actually, Crimson Rage could have taken out the boss all by themselves with ease. As two extremely powerful parties joined their forces together on this, they took less than an hour to slay the boss.

However, this boss was not as generous as Mathuven. It only dropped 2 pieces of Holy Tier equipment and 5 pieces of Ethereal Tier equipment, However, no one would really care about those equipment if they knew how the game worked. Each party took one piece of the Holy Tier equipment. Other than that, a Skill Book and piece of Skill Point Crystal were dropped as well. So Zhang Yang picked them up, as he was promised that he could. Meanwhile, the bomb was thrown by Snow Seeker, because Zhang Yang had agreed to let them have the quest.

Upon completing the quest, everyone went back to their respective main cities. Along the way back, they distributed the equipment among themselves. The only Holy Tier equipment was a pair of leather boots. Hundred Shots got lucky that day. He won the equipment over by rolling out the highest score. Meanwhile, the Skill Book was obtained by Ten Dusk.

[Radiance of the Brave: When hit, there is a 1% rate that you can recover your HP by 3 times of the damage value you receive.

The Skill seemed to promise a very efficient effect. However, the rate of triggering it was too damn low. It would be like recovering your HP by 3% the amount of all damage taken. In other words, the players would have a 3% Damage Immunity to himself or herself. Meanwhile, the player would still be vulnerable to the effect of {Destructive Smash}.

The moment the main quest was handed in by the Crimson Rage, Guraj no longer had any Main Story Quests left to offer. However, naturally, some greedy goblin had sold some more [Dark Source Stones] to the Spectre again. Because of that, the Spectre were able to continue on with the development of their 'Darkness Falls'.

Judging from a certain perspective, the 'Spectre Invasion' should be called 'Goblin Invasion'. Why? Because the completion of 'Darkness Falls' was basically made possible, all thanks to the goblins.

The remaining quests just had players running errands. Players were required to pass messages around from this spot to another spot, quite apart from each other. Everything seemed so simple. Well, it seemed that the story has progressed, nevertheless. There was no way to prevent the 'Darkness Falls' from being built. Therefore, all races in the entire region would be required to band together in order to fight against the Spectre, Or else, the entire land would be devoured by darkness itself!

According to the Official's message, after one month of the in-game time, 'Darkness Falls' would be completed. Meanwhile, Angus will sooner or later be leading the Spectre Army to invade the four high Tier Territories. Once they have conquered all four of the high Tier Territories, the Spectres would be using the four Territories as their bases of operation to invade the 8 Territory Gateways. After they manage to conquer the Territory Gateways, they would pass through the Teleportation Door at the Ten Barren Seas to enter the main cities. From there onwards, the Spectres would start slaughtering all players from all Regions on their own soils.

When the four high Tier Territories are under siege, there would be no telling which Territory will Angus go for first. Whichever Territory he goes to will be the one Territory that will suffer the worst fate among all four Territories.

Well, the Spectre Army would only have the advantage in numbers without Angus's presence. Players would still be able to fend off the Spectre Army with ease, by relying on the Graveyard of their Territories. However, if a Celestial Tier boss joins into the battle, the boss could easily wipe out the players by just raising his fingers around. There will be no chance at all for the players to fight back!

Meanwhile, the massive NPC Army would only gather at the Territory Gateways. Therefore, the four high Tier Territories were destined to fall momentarily.

Chapter 746: Darkness Falls

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

30 days' time was not long enough, especially when it was the altered in-game time. Everyone took that chance to raid bosses to raise their Levels and strength. However, little did they know that it would be a complete waste of time. Their opponent was a Celestial tier boss where 99% of all players around can only deal a pathetic 1 damage. They could only make a difference if they could reach Level 200 by the end of the given time.

Zhang Yang had managed to reached Level 169 by the end and was incredibly saddened that he was unable to reach Level 170 before the great war. Then again, even if he is able to reach Level 170, it would not allow Zhang Yang to equip the Ascended tier weapon in his storage, since that equipment required Zhang Yang to be Level 180.

Besides the players, the NPC army was making preparations themselves. All soldiers were gathered together at the frontlines to form a strong and solid formation. Such an army would help against the monsters. Sadly, they would not be of much use when Angus himself comes forth to the front lines.

Zhang Yang pestered his party to keep on completing quests that could earn them Military points. Even though it would be a waste of time, Zhang Yang still pushed them to do it. In his previous life, Zhang Yang's Level was too low to even participate in the great war. All he could do was to clean up random, low-level monsters. During then, he had heard of the importance of Military points, and it was not just to hire soldiers. Details about the importance of it was unclear to Zhang Yang. He could only guess that it was somewhat important to the boss.

As time goes went on by, the decisive battle arrived. Zhang Yang was so happy that Queen Serene herself had stepped out to his aid and defended Souron's Castle! None of the other Territories had such privilege to be paid such a visit from an Empire's queen! It was most probably due to the fact that Zhang Yang had a "good" relationship with Queen Serena.

At that moment, with the powerful Ascended tier boss at their side, everyone but Zhang Yang had the utmost confidence to defeat the boss. They had placed their hopes in Serena to fight the boss while the players swarm the boss and lay down any damage they could dish out.

All but Zhang Yang was happy about it. In his previous life, Zhang Yang had witnessed the downfall of all the players seven times before they were able to defeat Angus in the eighth attempt. By then, all eight major regions, all 64 Ascended bosses were sortied to fight the boss but were unable to defeat the boss until then. That was how powerful Angus, a Celestial boss could be.

Even though Serena had the Meteor Sword, making her stronger than the average Ascended tier boss, she alone was not as strong as the combined number of 64 Ascended tier bosses! Furthermore, they had received a total of 7 buffs while Angus was weakened by 7 times before they could win!

Despite the hardship, players could still fight in the war, not against Angus, but to farm experience points from the monsters in the war itself. Although Angus was practically invincible, the monsters were spawning endlessly. As long as Angus remains alive, so would the monsters' spawn rate. It was a chance that cannot be ignored! For once it slips away, there is no chasing it.

There was no doubt that the first attack attempt will result in an inevitable failure. It would be nice if they could defeat Angus on their first try and obtain all 13 Celestial tier set-equipment. It was nice to hope, but it would be an impossible task to accomplish. Zhang Yang had estimated that they would only win the war on either the third or fourth attempt. It would still be nice for the equipment drop to be set equipment.

On the first day of New Year, the war started. The war that everyone had anticipated and prepared for has arrived. The system had automatically sent out quests to all players above Level 160. Parties that were able to defeat Angus will receive 2 Skill Points as a reward, limited to only 10 players! Furthermore, if Angus was killed then, all players that had participated in the war will receive a Level 2 reward. Similar to Skeleton Admiral Mathuven.

The calm before a storm was the similar sensation Zhang Yang felt in the silence of the battlefield. As his suspicious rose, the bright daylight was eclipsed by a sudden intrusion of dark clouds. Within an instance, the sun, the blue skies, was covered over with darkness, as if the night had fallen. Cold winds blew by, along with the cries of sorrow and dismay across the horizon.

Darkness Falls has been activated!

The echoes of soldiers marching could be heard right after the sun was blotted out.

"Enemy sighted, commander!" cried the Elven scouts, who had superior vision. Zhang Yang did not need superior elven eyes to know that. With his normal vision, he could already spot the oncoming enemies from the horizon. They were like a pitch black wave that came swarming in like black tar. Over the hills, mountain, and filed, the number of incoming Spectre monsters were uncountable. It was going to be a tough fight, since there was more than one type of monster. Skeletal soldiers were the easiest to deal with, while the others were were zombies, Abomination, Necromancer, Death Knight, and even a siege tank!

The siege tank was unlike any Zhang Yang had ever seen. The tank was made from the combination of the bones of their enemies merged together with eerie, disgusting, exposed muscle and tendons. The problem with the "tank" was that the corpses that were used to build the tank was enchanted with some sort of powerful spell. When an attack lands, the eerie structure will burst, emitting out poison gas that will temporary convert NPC soldiers into Spectres.

What an ingenious method to start a war. Normally, siege tanks would be used to break down thick castle walls, yet the Spectres have used them to change the tide of war by converting the enemies to their allies!

"Ready the troops!" Among the army of the Empire, came a loud bellow from a man fully clad in shiny golden armor. He raised his sword high and with his horse standing on its rear legs.

With the horse stomping down, he cried, "ATTACK!"

PEW PEW PEW!

The army that Serena had brought to the base fired countless of lit oil barrels towards the enemy. The barrels exploded on the ground and caused high AoE damage.

The Spectre retaliated by bringing out their catapults that were armed with rotting corpses. The corpses landed behind the castle walls and spread green, toxic gas that immediately converted all soldiers into zombies. As such, the enemy had managed to attack both in and out of the castle.

The exchange of catapults lasted for several tens of minutes before both sides ran out of munitions. Shortly after, the Spectres were the first to blow their horn to signal the attack. The entire swarm of Spectres came swarming towards the castle, like rodents.

"Knights! Press on!" cried the same general. Before he could complete his order, Queen Serena stood tall at the edge of the watchtower at the top of the castle and cried out, "ATTACK! FOR THE GLORY OF MANKIND!"

Her soldiers roared with vigor and fervor as they charged out of the castle walls and attacked the Spectre. Sadly, the number of human soldiers were only by the tens of thousands. Compared to the Spectre, they were only a small island, versus the entire ocean!

Queen Serena took charge of the command and cried, "Sentries march on! ARCHERS ATTACK THE REAR! SPELLCASTERS! PREPARE YOUR ARCANE BLASTS!"

More and more commands were shouted out and the NPC army obeyed her commands. As such, even though the NPC army were greatly overwhelmed, they held their ground well. In fact, through Serena's strategical command, the NPC army had not suffered any losses. For the moment. Then, players from China started to pour out from behind the NPC army and flanked the Spectres from the left and right.

Zhang Yang was standing next to Serena at that moment, and he wanted to go down to the battlefield to gain some experience points. However, Serena had mistaken his actions for battlelust and stopped him.

"Hold on for now. Let the troops handle the weak ones first. The strong like you will only be needed in the battle field when more powerful enemies appear. It will be a boost of morale if you appear later in the battle."

"Yes. I hear and obey, your highness."

Although Zhang Yang had knelt down and expressed his desire to acknowledge the queen's order, he was greatly disgruntled. He had wanted to go down to reap some precious experience points! However, Queen Serena had only come to his aid due to the Relationship. No other territory had such service from their own castle Baron. Even though Zhang Yang was eager to go down to lay down some kills, he had pushed his desire away and listened to the queen. It would be for the wiser, since the queen might be angered. Who knows what she might do to him! As such, Zhang Yang remained on the watchtower.

Even though the Spectre forces were swarming in like locusts, under the command of Queen Serena, the NPC army, paired with players, were able to strike down the incoming Spectres like the locust that they were. Right then, the number of Level 100 players in China had reached over 100 million. Most of them had decided to camp at Souron's Castle. Even though most of them were unable to get inside the castle, as more and more players had exited the castle to enter the battlefield, most players were able to teleport in and join the fight.

The exchange of attacks continued on and many players fell in the fight. However, the flow of the battle remained unshaken as the graveyard was near. The time taken to revive again was extremely quick and easy. As such, players were able to rejoin the fight while the Spectre soldiers were suffering great losses until their reinforcements arrives.

It was estimated there were around 1 to 2 billion Spectres, then. Since players were able to keep on reviving, Souron's Castle will not fall since players were able to keep on reviving, as if they had endless reinforcements!

Right then, it was only matter of time for the Spectre soldiers to be wiped out. The only thing to worry about then, was when the final boss appears. When Angus arrives, that will be the final decisive battle since the winner will be decided in merely a short time.

Eventually, 3 hours had passed and the Spectre soldiers suffered the most losses. Initially, they came in like a tsunami, but players were able to stop that rushing wave by hacking away at the front ones first and slowly chasing after the soldiers behind!

"Useless scum…"

A cold, deep voice was heard and amidst the gory battlefield, a black portal appeared. Out came a large character that floated midair. Abyssal darkness seeped out from his entire character and formed an absolute void around him.

The darkness around him was so dark that everything around him was rendered 2D. Even though Darkness Falls had merely turned day to night, light could still exist somewhere in the field. Angus was different. He seemed to be carrying a blackhole around him! An existence that could swallow light, even!

[Angus, The Lord of the Seven Spectre King] (Celestial, Spectre)

Level: 230

HP: 23,000,000,000

Defense: 100,000

Magic Defense: 100,000

Melee Attack: 633,914 – 833,914

Skills:

[Blade of Obliteration: Deals 100% melee Chaos damage to all targets within 500 meters.

[Death Cleave: Deals 150% melee Chaos damage to a target. Cannot evade. Cannot block.

[Despair Aura: Creates a Cage of Despair around a target every 3 seconds. Targets will be immobilized. Aura Range: 200 meters.

[Death Feeds: Each target that Angus kills will restore 1% HP. Recovery rate cannot be affected by any skills.

Since the battle was part of the story plot, even though Angus Level had exceeded the players' ability to check his stats, players were still able to observe and examine him. It was then, when everyone gasped in unison. 23 billion HP is not a number to joke about.

Truthfully speaking, the boss' HP was not an exaggeration. Even though players could only deal 1 damage at a time, there were 100 million players then, and if everyone hits the boss 230 times, they could kill the boss with ease! The problem lay with the boss HP recovery skill. One death will restore 1% HP? That's just OP beyond reason!

The boss' attack was more than 100,000. At that point, no one could heal that much in an instance! It would be useless to rely on numbers alone to defeat the boss. Strategy? What is that? The players were all so grossly underequipped! Defeating the boss will only be a pipedream!

"From this day forth, the world shall be mine! Let Darkness engulf the land and the Spectre shall take it all! Death shall come to those who live!"

Chapter 747: A Losing War

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The key to defeating Angus is to not die by his hands. A single death will only restore 1% of his health. That number would be as high as 230,000,000!

No wonder none had managed to kill Angus at the first try! Using massive numbers to defeat the boss was not only inefficient, but would also give free health to the boss! However, the current player's Levels were so low, no one would be on par with the boss! The only way of surviving the war and defeating the boss was to rely on the NPC!

The problem was that the system had not made things that simple. In his previous life, the NPCs had gone through seven attempts and was only able to defeat the boss on the eighth attempt, only when the NPCs had been greatly strengthened. Sadly, due to their failure, Angus' death had only dropped four random Celestial non-set equipment.

As the battle started, some lazy players skipped over the examining the boss' skills and charged into the frontline and died blindly. Hence, if no one takes the helm in leading the mass players, the boss will be completely immortal. No one can defeat the boss, even if players have Celestial bosses at their aid!

"Impudent Spectres! You dare invade the White Jade Empire?! I shall have your head on a stake! Let that be a lesson to all Spectres! No! Perhaps I shall wipe all Spectres off the face of the world!" Serena leapt off the watch tower and flew, without wings, towards the center of the battlefield. With quick reflex, her royal gown was immediately transformed into a grand combat gear. She pulled out her sword and was ready to charge.

"Such a bold human female…Now your place. It is I who shall wipe all humans! Heed my words and surrender to darkness!" Angus laughed and threw out a long, thin blade out of the air and used it to charge towards Serena.

"Sword of Life and Death!" Serena cried out and unleashed her ultimate skill to face the strong Angus. Sadly, even though she could inflict as much as 600,000 damage, it was merely a tiny itch for the Celestial tier boss!

"HMPH!"

With a quick swing of his sword, Angus struck Serena. Although Serena had managed to parry the sword swing, she was blown away as if she was weightless.

"Weak…"

The Queen emerged out of the crater that she was blast into and forcefully tore off her right shoulder plating. "Curse you Spectres!" She concentrated her powers into the Meteor Sword. The blade glowed with an intense white radiance.

"Holy Light, Cross Soul Slash!"

"OOFH!" Angus grunted with pain. Serena's attack was of Holy attribute, which was extremely powerful against the Spectres. With the godly power of the Meteor Sword, she was able to deal more than millions of damage.

"Seems like you're all but talk. Come at me, evil being. I shall purify you!"

"Watch your words, little girl. I am the Lord of the Seven Kings."

"Lord or not. You're nothing but a monster that I will destroy."

Serena stomped her feet into the ground and kicked herself off at supersonic speed to clash against Angus. As such, the two bosses started exchanging blows. Even though Serena had the advantage of her Holy attribute and was using it to overwhelm the boss, Zhang Yang had no confidence in her. The boss had that OP healing ability. A single use of {Blade of Obliteration} could kill many players around 500 meters from where he stood. At the rate of things, Angus will never have his HP lowered!

Ever since the start of the battle, Angus had been an indestructible boss! However, Serena was no ordinary Ascended tier boss. She wields the Meteor Sword, hence, even though she will have trouble killing Angus, she, herself had proved to be extremely tough to kill as well!

"Feel despair!" Angus bellowed and swung his sword hard, downwards to cleave Serena. With great power, she held her stance even as her feet slid back and block the downward slash with all her might. The resulting impact was so powerful that the impact had blasted off a wave that sent the earth around her cracking and scattering into sand. Serena borrowed the momentum of the boss' swing and spun around the air to slice at the boss from the sky. The sword landed cleanly on the boss and had ever more destructive power that a power compressed air blasted the sky, sending the dark clouds to scatter away. For a glimpse, the sun's rays were able to shine upon the land of darkness.

Players had not surrounded Angus for they realized their own strength was lacking. The only choice they had was to fight the smaller ones to earn a few experience points.

Now that Queen Serena was in the battle herself, Zhang Yang had no reason not to attack. He called forth his Phoenix and rode the bright burning bird downward. Unfortunately for Zhang Yang, when Angus had made his appearance, the Spectre forces were already on the verge of being wiped out. Hence, after only 30 minutes or so, Zhang Yang had cleaned the entire battlefield up. Angus was the only Spectre left standing.

Without players coming forth to attack him, Angus had long since cut down a player. Hence, uninterrupted, Queen Serena had hacked his HP down to the last bit.

As expected of the Queen of the White Jade Empire, a character who never even came to being in his previous life and joined the battle of Angus. In fact, she might even be stronger than Angus himself!

If only there were more strong NPCs like Serena aiding the fight, the boss fight would probably have ended long ago. That is, if stupid players would stop rushing in to die for Angus.

Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment. There was one question that was circulating in his mind for some time. Should he use his Transformation skill then?

Besides Zhang Yang, no one else could fight toe to toe with the boss even if they have used their Transformation skill. Angus was a world boss, and his skill {Blade of Obliteration} rage and cooldown were not something to be taken lightly. He could wipe out many players by simply swinging his sword and the occasional use of {Death Cleave}.

On the other hand, the boss had an average basic attack of 730,000. Under the power of the Level Suppression system, the boss will deal close to double the damage. That means, the destructive power of {Blade of Obliteration} could reach as high as 1,460,000. By average, the boss will use his {Blade of Obliteration} once every 2 seconds. Hence, his DPS would be as high as 730,000. It would take only 14 seconds for the boss to kill someone will 10,000,000 HP.

Zhang Yang defenses and HP were not strong enough to withstand that amount of damage and survive. Plus, the boss attack attribute was Chaos type; they would never be affected or reduced by Defense or Magic resistances. Even if Zhang Yang was to Transform, he would not last longer than 100 seconds with his 52,000,000 HP!

That would only mean that S class players like Sun Xin Yu, Han Ying Xue, and himself could only survive damaging the boss for a hit or two before running to safety and to restore their HP. The situation could never be so dire. Just when the boss was overleveled, now, the players would be forced to run out of the attacking rage of 500 meters!? What sort of battle is that?

It could not be helped then. The current players then, could not even defeat a regular Ascended tier boss, what more a Celestial tier!?

Right then, a group of players, riding on their flying mounts were flying through the sky to attack the boss. There were not many of them, but merely in groups of a thousand or more. Zhang Yang did not even need to squint his eyes, for their speed was extremely fast. They were all players from the European server.

"Take the boss! Get the loot!" Someone from the group had yelled out and the entire group roared with fervor. They charged into the boss range as if the boss was about to be taken away by someone else.

"Stupid fools!" Players who were standing on top of the watch tower behind the castle wall cursed. A tragic event was about to unfold.

"Blade of Obliteration!" Angus grunted and unleashed his sword swing. Almost half of the players that charged towards the boss died. The other half that survived the swing managed to survive, only because they had already activated their Transformation skill. On the other hand, due to the death of many, many players, the boss had restored his HP back to 100%!

"Ignorant fools!" cried Serena and she pointed her sword up high. Again, she concentrated her powers into the sword and cried, "Sword of Life and Death!"

Shush shush shush!

Not only was Serena attacking the boss, her targets included the players from other regions, other than China! Since they were not of the same allegiance, the players from Europe were all Serena's enemies, and her attacks had landed on them as well.

With two bosses attacking together, players were still being killed, even though they had used their Transformation skills. In less than a few swings, all the C class Inheritance players fell, followed closely by the B class players, and A class players.

Fortunately, the only S class Inheritance holder, God's Left Hand was not so stupid to charge at the boss like idiots. Or else, he would be the first S class Inheritance player that would be killed by the boss!

"Hahahaha! All who live shall be food for my soul! Come to me and die by my blade! I shall reap your lifeforce!" said Angus as he restored his HP back to 100% and smiled with such satisfaction.

"Insolent fool. Life is not something that belongs to you! Heed my words, O evil lord, I shall cut you down!" Queen Serena stood strong, even though the situation was extremely dire. It was that stoic stance of a Queen, the utmost confidence in her own power.

"Know your place! Fool!" Angus grunted with anger. The two bosses then continued their swordplay.

When there's one idiot, there will be the next, and the next as well. The next group of greedy players that soared towards the boss were the players of India. When they saw how the boss had cut down the players from Europe. They decided to take note of the boss' skill and carefully examined his attack pattern. As such, there were no second group of idiots that charged into the boss to die.

No sooner after, players from North America, Australia, and South America had gathered. Obviously, they had obtained the news about Angus and had come over to get the loots. However, the boss was so strong that none of them was able to formulate a battle plan to fight the boss.

Still, they were players with diehard stubbornness, trying to fight and only managed to deal that 1 pathetic damage. It was a bet, to see if they could deal enough damage to be able to grab the loot later when the boss is defeated. The main problem was that their greed was Angus's nourishment. Every player that was stupid enough to get close to the boss was killed and was converted to be his HP. As such, Angus HP had never dropped below 95%.

Even though Serena had devastating powers, her DPS was not as strong as Angus's HP restoration. As the battle dragged on longer, Serena started to grow weary. The winner of the fight was most definitely getting obvious.

"Protect the Queen!"

"Defend her highness!"

Soldiers of the Empire rushed over to surround Serena and group peeled off to attack Angus. Sadly, like players, they were not able to even deal any significant damage. Like players, they were only "nourishment" for the boss. As time goes, the boss had only become stronger while Serena had only become weaker.

At one point, Serena's HP had dropped so low that all the army had rushed into the battle to fight.

5%...3%...1%...

When Angus was about to strike the killing blow, Serena's Meteor Sword glowed with an intense radiance and engulfed Serena, rendering her invulnerable. With a saddened voice, Serena cried, "Withdraw! All troops, withdraw!"

"Don't think you can escape the reaper's grasp!" Angus moved forward closer to Serena.

With a quick roar, Serena cleaved the space in front of her and created a break in the spatial dimension. The crack opened wider and became a portal for her to escape. In an instance, the portal closes, leaving the anguished and enraged Angus roaring to the sky.

As per shown by Queen Serena, all 64 bosses from all regions of the world cannot die. They can only be defeated. How else could they become stronger, then! If they die, they would only become Spectres that would be added to the enemy's forces!

Chapter 748: The Search for Reinforcement

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When the main pillar of hope was broken, players had no other place to rely on and was turned into mincemeat by the boss. Right then, no player was capable of standing toe to toe with the Celestial tier boss. Hence, the only sensible route left for them was to run away.

The boss did not allow anyone on the battlefield to escape. He truly intended to kill every single player there were then. He then pulled out his sword and sliced a dimensional doorway. At then, the dimensional doorway expanded fully and out came a swarm of monsters. With Angus leading the command, the swarm of newly spawned monsters attacked the players like locust swarms.

Now that Angus was the only superpower left on the battlefield, players were completely outmatched and overwhelmed. A single swing of his {Blade of Obliteration} was able to wipe out the weak players within 500 meters! With such powerful killing skill, Souron's Castle was overrun easily.

Fortunately, before Souron's Castle was overrun, Zhang Yang and his party were able to charge towards the Teleportation Circle and left to Morning Town. There, he stood by and commanded what's left of the players around to make their defensive stance. Serena had temporarily returned to White Jade Castle to recuperate from the battle. Hence, half of the Empire's soldiers were sent back to protect the defenseless queen. As such, the chance of Morning Town being overrun by Spectres was 99.99%

It was what the plot had laid out for players to realize the truth of Spectre Invasion. If they could not even invade past the borders of Chaos Realms, what would Spectre Invasion really mean, then?

After Souron's Castle was overrun, the next territory to be conquered by the Spectres were Forrest Gump's Fortress, Cynthia's Town, and White Horse Bay. They were all turned from player's resting spots to Spectre base camps. As such, after all territories deep in the Chaos Realm were taken over, they had proceeded to march forth to enter the eight major regions. There was no one who could put stop to their march. Angus was too powerful, then. His army had easily trampled over towns like they were weeds in the field.

With the players falling back to their own major cities, Angus' forces continued to press their attack and infiltrated the pre-Chaos Realm regions. As such, the invasion continued on further. Without anyone able to put a stop to the Spectre invasion, Angus' forces had managed to take control 56 out of the 64 majors cities of the entire world. He had only allowed one major city to survive for every region. As such, the Spectre Invasion event had reached its climatic point. It was up to players to decide on how to fight the boss. By then, Angus himself had not settled down anywhere permanently. He kept on switching in between the four territories in Chaos Realms. Unless players kill their way back, Chaos Realm will be done for.

When all territories and access to the Chaos Realm are taken away, the entire game seemed to have fallen back to the beginner's stage. It was still possible for players to make their way to the Chaos Realm. They would need to be strong enough to attack their way through the Ten Barren Seas and through the portal to Chaos Realm. It would be easier for Level 100 players since they would not have to travel far beyond the gates of Chaos Realm to reach their respective training grounds. Level 150 players were faced with a tough scenario. They needed to travel extremely far into the Chaos Realm to reach their respective training grounds.

Naturally, the system would not make something like grinding levels an impossible task. They had allocated monsters to spawn between Level 100 to Level 180 around each city and territory to allow higher level players to gain some levels. Imagine all players from 8 major cities gathered in one major city, the monsters spawning in the area alone was not enough to satisfy all players at once. Hence, chaotic battles erupted between guilds just to occupy the training grounds for their own use.

As such, the game had plunged into the dark ages. Players all around the world wanted to open up the path to Chaos Realm and to reclaim their land back from Angus. With both lands and the Celestial equipment hanging right there for them to take, the only method for them to grab the prize was to grind their way up higher and higher.

The system had given players 1 months' time of preparation whereby the NPC of major cities will "respawn" and assume their counterattack. The timing for all regions to start their own counterattack was not the same date. It was designed based on which region is the first to get attacked. Each region will have 3 days to attack and defeat Angus. If Angus is not defeated within the given period of time, all players will be removed from the battlefield, and so is Angus. The battle will then be declared as a loss for the players. By the looks of it, the first region to start their counterattack was South America. Australia will be the next in line, followed by Europe, North America, Africa, Japan-Korea, India, and finally China. Based on the recent battle of the other region, they would not be able to defeat Angus even when their NPC boss receives a 10% strength buff. Amongst all, Queen Serena will have the highest chance to defeat Angus for she was far stronger than any other Ascended tier boss. She was the only one capable of defeating Angus. That was the reason was Angus was only defeated after seventh attempts. That is how strong was a Celestial tier boss. There was no way the system would allow players to get their hands on the Celestial tier equipment. Furthermore, after defeating the boss, players who have had participated in the war shall receive Level 2 reward and obtained the title, "Savior of the Land". All of the given rewards are only limited to only players of a single region that had defeated Angus.

Since Zhang Yang was sure that the first attempt will end with a failure, he had not wasted a single Military Point. As such, within the one-month preparation of time given, Zhang Yang had continued to amass more Military Points by completing quests offered by the NPC. After the first war attempt, everyone had then realized the importance of Military Points.

NPCs that were hired through spending Military points were not just to put up more fight with Angus. If that is the case, Military Points would be worthless, since Angus's sword strike would kill them all and heal himself.

Those soldiers that were hired could be used as a means to share the damage received. It was by a percentage, and 1% at most. However, players can use that to their advantage. When NPC soldier hired by a player exceed 99, the player himself would only receive 1% of the incoming damage. The rest of the 99% damage will be distributed evenly to the rest of the 99 soldiers. The problem was that, normal soldiers will not have such skill. Only elite soldiers could be so useful in battle.

Elite tier soldiers will cost 100 Military Points each. Technically, to have the maximum damage distribution, one must have 9,900 Military Points! Zhang Yang had only amassed 3,890 Military Points then, and could only hire 38 elite tier NPC soldiers. At most, the soldiers will be able to tank the 38% of damage received, whereas the remaining 62% will kill Zhang Yang in no time at all!

The elite NPC soldier were like mobile HP potions. When fighting Angus himself, the NPC soldiers can be placed far behind the frontlines, since the "Shared Life" skill works within a 1-kilometer distance. The soldier could be placed far behind the attack range of the boss and remain alive. If one could find 99 Level 100 healers, they could help to heal the NPC soldiers behind, while the attacker (the player) can tank Angus and continue the fight longer than usual.

The qualification of looting the boss drop does not work the same way as it would be when fighting normal boss. In summary, players must be able to deal more damage than the NPC to be able to gain the authority to loot the drops.

Hence, to make things easy, players would have to make sure they could survive long enough in the battle to deal enough damage. Not to mention, they would have to remain alive till the end to prevent their effort from being wasted. That was the importance of the Military Points.

Zhang Yang had adviced all his party members to not waste any of their Military Points earlier on. Hence, together with Zhang Yang, they too had run around the castle, completing missions given by the NPC in town for Military Points. Even though most of the quest were only worth 1 or 2 Military Points. They had to be satisfied with it.

'Ding! You have completed a quest: Search and Sanction. Obtained 1,000,000 Experience Points, 5 Military Points!'

Zhang Yang sighed heavily as he acquired the quest reward. He then hunkered down and raised his voice to Gulaj. "Goblin, do you have any harder quests for me? All the quest that I have done so far were so easy. Are you taking me for some spineless bastard?"

"Hmph! Don't get too cocky, Human!" The Goblin crossed his arms. "Fine. If you want something challenging. I have an urgent mission that might be difficult, even for you. It's not about strength this time. Finish it, and I'll give you a handsome reward."

'Ding! Gulaj has a Hidden Quest for you: Search for Reinforcements. Will you accept it?'

Haha! You could trigger a hidden quest that way too!

Zhang Yang accepted the quest immediately and checked its description.

[Search for Reinforcement] (Difficulty Level: Unspecified)

Description: Listen close the wind blows. Can't you hear the sorrows and despair in the air? The Spectres have proven themselves to be a formidable foe. All those that live and breathe in the Union will face an unstoppable, destructive force. At times like this, we must combine our forces to combat the evil. Go out to the wild and search for helping hands!

Progress: Undesignated

Participant Limit: 1

Reward: Military Points based on the number of reinforcements recruited.

The reason why the quest difficulty was not set was due to the freedom of the player. They could simply find random NPCs, or recruit a Holy tier boss. It all depends on the level of the NPC and, the reward will correspond to that.

To search for a helping hand…Zhang Yang immediately thought of thousands of names. One of which stood out better than the other. Merlinda – Song of the Forest! The kidnapped princess, the new Priestess of the Moon for the Elven race. She had reached the highest position amongst the elven race, she should be far stronger than before! She was at the very least leader of Elves, being an Ascended tier was the very least tier that she should be.

She has the skill - {Higher Regeneration} which could restore 5% HP every second. Logically, Zhang Yang could heal himself back to 100% HP in only 20 seconds. With Merlinda helping Zhang Yang, he could activate his Transformation skill and survive the boss fight without even relying on the NPC soldiers! It may sound nice, but it was not realistic. A transformation state will only last for 2 hours. Defeating the Angus within 2 hours was not logical nor sensible! Hence, Military Points would still come in handy.

Zhang Yang had rescued Merlinda three times. Hence, there will be higher chance that he could recruit her to join the fight against the Spectre. Some might even wonder why could Zhang Yang need to personally recruit the Elves when they were part of the four major races in the Union aside from Humans, Orcs, and Dwarves. The reason was simple, like Humans in the Chaos Realm, the Elves were not an ally to the Union. They were part of the races that lived in the Union but had not pledge their allegiance to the Union. Only some of the Elves were part of the Union and not all.

On the other hand, there was one more name that could be of help. Smaug The King of the Forgotten One. He belonged to a separate Spectre group that had alienated themselves from the rest of the world. The best part was, he was a Celestial tier boss! In the past, Zhang Yang and Smaug had gone on an adventure together to save his wife. As a sign of friendship, Smaug had given him the [Friendship Jade]. He could try his luck to recruit the Forgotten King. If he manages to, he could perhaps defeat Angus at the first counterattack!

If all goes well, Angus will be the only Spectre boss to be feared of. On the other hand, the human side would have eight Holy tier boss and one Celestial boss to fight. The chances of victory was extremely high! Perhaps, there would be a chance for him to get all 10 Celestial tier set equipment!

How exciting!

Zhang Yang stopped for a moment and thought it through. Smaug could be harder to recruit, since he was a Spectre as well. Even though he bears the name "Forgotten King" and alienated himself from the other hostile Spectres, they were still Spectres, to begin with. In fact, there was no reason for him to fight for the humans either!

Tch!

Zhang Yang clicked his tongue. It will be hard, but even so, Zhang Yang will try his best.

Zhang Yang planned his route and soared to the sky with the Phoenix. He had no choice but to fly, since Tukula Fortress had been overrun by the Spectres as well. In fact, only White Jade Castle stood strong from the invasion, as well as the other major cities around the world. Perhaps, it was because Queen Serena was resting there.

Zhang Yang flew quickly and swiftly through the land and entered the Chaos Realm through the portal in the Ten Barren Sea. His first stop was the Elf's Sacred Ground.

Chapter 749: Unauthorized Entry

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Holy Land of the Elves Athuran, was a Level 180 – Level 210 map. The map had probably not been visited yet since the creation of the game and Zhang Yang could be the first player to set foot into the map. Trees were growing ever so tall, that were several hundreds of meters tall. The entire map was practically filled with the sky-scraping trees! As far as the trees grew, there was a bigger one that had planted itself in the center of the map. The tree was far older, taller, and bigger than the rest of the trees. The crown of trees was growing so vast and wide that it spanned nearly over several tens of kilometers. That was as wide as the entire map itself.

That was the Sacred Tree of the Elven race, known as the Gustrea tree, also known as the Tree of Life, and the Source of Life. Legend has it that the Elven race was birthed from the tree itself. It was said that the Moon God had chosen this particular tree and find it capable of producing life itself. That was the description given from the official guide. What the Moon God did to the tree remained completely unknown. Probably someone as perverted as Fatty Han could find an answer to that mystery.

The map was too strong for Zhang Yang. At then, he was only Level 169 and could not afford to even fight the monsters. He could, but it would not be his norm. Anyone in their right mind would not just simply waltz into a dangerous area and fight the monsters there, which were clearly far stronger than them! Zhang Yang then made his way carefully through the thick forest, careful as he flitted through the trees, so that he would not accidentally lure in monsters of which he knows that he could never defeat via normal means. He did not have that much time to spare.

Out of the blue, Zhang Yang heard a loud cry of a hawk. He turned his head back and saw a large shadow zooming towards him at great speed. The incoming beast was huge and clawed at Zhang Yang, leaving a long gash on his metal armor.

'-67,720!'

Zhang Yang sustained a strong attack and saw clearly of his attacker. It was a huge, Horned Hawk. Its wings were as long as 7 meters wide when spread open and had an iron-like claw that was strong enough to leave a scraping line on his armor.

[Wild Horned Hawk] (Normal, Beast)

Level: 205

HP: 263,850

Defense: 8,080

Melee Attack: 49,447 – 69,447

Skills: ???

Zhang Yang was unable to view the beast's skill, since the level gap between him and the hawk was 36 Levels. Still, it was not something that he would worry about, since normal tier monsters would not have many strong skills. If the monster is several more Levels higher than Zhang Yang, he would not even be able to view its attack, HP, and even Defense.

The damage that Zhang Yang had just received was a rather unlucky shot, since it was doubled due to the Level Suppression System.

Zhang Yang pulled out the Reaper's Scythe from his back and attacked.

'-87,333!'

Hmph. Not too bad. At the very least, Zhang Yang could deal higher damage than what the beast could do to him. At that moment, Zhang Yang was rather lucky enough to have his damage reduced down by 50%.

Sadly, the damage was not enough for Zhang Yang to generate many Rage points. The damage and attack he dealt was enough to generate only 62 Rage points which only allowed Zhang Yang to cast one skill.

{Charge Up Strike}!

{God of War Devastation}!

'-456.205!'

Although the strike was able to kill the beast instantly, it was already being reduced by 30%! If he had not been suppressed by the system, he could have dealt even higher damage!

What a useful skill, {Charge Up Strike} was paired together with {God of War Devastation} or {God of War Heavy Axe}, Zhang Yang could deal 9 times the value of his normal attack! Even though there was the Level Suppression reducing his damage, it was still an OP attack! Still, it was just a normal tier monster, if the monster that had attacked Zhang Yang was an elite tier, he would have turned tail and run away.

Due to the Level of the map, the normal monsters there would have the attack power of a Mythical tier boss! Paired with the Level Suppression system, monsters there would have been a higher threat than an Ethereal tier boss is to Zhang Yang. That was just a normal tier monster. If Zhang Yang is unlucky enough to stumble upon an elite tier monster, its threat level would be as high as an Ethereal tier boss! With the Level Suppression system working on him, it would be his loss if Zhang Yang tries to fight!

Zhang Yang concluded that he would have to spend some time there, hence, he had decided that he would fight normal tier monsters and escape if he stumbles upon an elite tier monster.

"Big Brother!" cried Felice as she appeared from her Battle Companion U.I after Zhang Yang had defeated the hawk and flew for some time. She stood on the back of the Phoenix and stared at the distance with a nostalgic expression hanging on her face.

Even though players and the Battle Companion had the contract that binds them together, battle companions could still choose to break the contract and discard their owner anytime they want to. However, that would be extremely rare. Commonly, even high tiered battle companions were just strong servants who would not put up a fight with their owner. The act of Felice coming out of her Battle Companion U.I by herself was extremely rare!

Zhang Yang was shocked and instantly replied, "What's wrong?'

"There--" Felice raised her slender hands and pointed at the direction of the Tree of Life. "I sense something there. Its…Its…calling for me…" Gradually, Felice eye's lost their focus, as if she was being possessed by something.

Hmph? Could it be that Felice had found another spot to gain yet another tier?

Zhang Yang smiled and complied. "Let's go there then!"

Felice quickly shook her head and regained her composure. She nodded. "Alright." She morphed into her Dragonhawk form and flew towards the Tree of Life. Zhang Yang followed closely from behind.

"Halt!" cried two female Elven archers who were riding Horned Hawks, and stopped Zhang Yang and Felice. They were only dressed in tight leather armor which only emphasized their slender bodies.

It was inevitable that all female character designed in the game would be beautiful. In fact, 99% of all female NPC characters in the game had voluptuous boobies and slender waist. Zhang Yang and Felice descended and landed on the ground. The female Elves followed and got down from their mounts. As they did, their jiggly-jugs were jiggling around as they jumped down from their mounts. What a sight to behold!

Zhang Yang could not resist and had to stare at them for a good second before responding to them. "My name is Zhan Yu and I am an adventurer from White Jade Castle. I am here with an urgent request for Merlinda – Song of the Forest."

"The great priestess of the moon is not someone whom you could visit anytime you want!" said the female bowmen. "Please leave this sacred ground of the Elves. No good shall befall you if you try to linger."

"Big brother…" Felice muffled her voice with her hands as she turned to Zhang Yang with her big, unblinking eyes. They craved for love and attention.

Sigh…

Zhang Yang could not resist. At then, be it asking Merlinda to fight by his side, Zhang Yang had a better reason to go into the land of the Elf for Felice's sake! Zhang Yang smiled innocently and said, "Please talk to Merlinda and let her know that it is Zhan Yu who wishes to speak with her. I'm sure that the great Priestess of the Moon will know how to decide my fate."

"Insolent fool! Did you not heed my words?! I shall have you heed my arrows, then!" cried the Elven archer as she and her comrade drew their bows, prepared to fight.

Zhang Yang laughed at their speedy reactions and quickly stunned them with {Blast Wave}. "Let's go! Felice!'

Zhang Yang and Felice quickly deserted the two archers and rushed towards the Tree of Life. After being stunned for 4 seconds, the two female Elves leaped on their Horned Hawks and chased after Zhang Yang with haste. Sadly, they were no match for the Phoenix's flying speed and was left behind further.

Before Zhang Yang had realized it, the closer he got to the Tree of Life, more Elven warriors had chased after Zhang Yang on their mounts. The problem was that the warriors were Elite tier! It would be extremely difficult for him to lose them!

Zhang Yang grunted disgruntledly and activated the Phoenix's Transformation skill. The Phoenix grew, in size as well as in flying speed. With the boost of HP, Zhang Yang tanked all the damage and flew past the defenders' barrage.

Arrows landed more and more and dealt a considerable amount of damage to Zhang Yang. Even though the Phoenix had a long HP bar, Zhang Yang feared that he might not able to last too long. Fortunately, the Phoenix's amazing flying speed was fast enough to dodge some of the incoming arrows. If he had not used the Phoenix's Transformation skill, he might have sustained more damage and had his HP reduced down to below 50%!

It was not the time to fight! He had to get to the Tree of Life! He had a hunch that Merlinda would be somewhere close to the Tree of Life, since it was an entity that was extremely precious to the Elven race! Perhaps if he could meet her, she could stop the incoming forces from attacking him! If he does not stir up a chaotic storm, Merlinda would not even know that Zhang Yang was there to visit her! Those selfish female Elves would not have delivered his message to her in the first place!

He would have to do it himself!

Untransformed, Felice's moving speed will not be as fast as the Phoenix, hence, Zhang Yang had called for her to sit behind him as they sped towards the tree.

As they zoomed forward, the tree did not even seem to get any closer to them! Just how big was the tree?! From where they were, the truck itself was so large that they could fit a city inside! From where he was, Zhang Yang could finally catch a glimpse of the entrance where several juvenile Elves were playing on one of the branches of the tree barefooted. From where he was, the branch looked like a regular tree branch and the children were only the size of ants. Its branches, however, were actually a tens of meters wide. There was no reason to be afraid of falling over either, since there was great number of leaves the size of footballs field. Falling down on them would greatly reduce the fall damage. Perhaps, it would be fun, even!

Eventually, Zhang Yang was free from harm as the Elven corps were far away from them. Zhang Yang then made his way towards the tree top and found a pool. It looked like someone had chopped off the top of the tree and hollowed it out like a canoe, and filled water in it.

Felice shouted with passion, "There!"

Zhang Yang nodded his head and flew closer to the pool, all the way listening to the angry cries of the Elven corp behind them. Although he could not hear what they were saying, he could have guessed that they were warning them to stay away from the tree top.

Zhang Yang ignored their calls and hovered above the pool of greenish water. Felice jumped off the Phoenix and morphed into her Dragonhawk form. With a loud splash, Felice dove into the water and instantly vanished from his sight. It was not clear to how deep was the water was, since it was quite clear.

"Iintruder! You had sullied the Spring of Life! Only death may wash away your grave sins!" cried the Elven warriors as they surrounded Zhang Yang from all directions. Zhang Yang had single-handedly angered the entire Elven race.

They had not immediately attack. In fact, they were holding back their rage to attack. It was probably because they were extremely close to the so-called Spring of Life. If a battle is to erupt on top of the water surface, his blood would spill into the pool. Perhaps, that would be a greater offense.

"Catch him!" cried the Elves.

It was a problem, and while they were hesitating, more Elven warriors coming from behind them! If there were to fight, Zhang Yang would surely be the first to go down.

Zhang Yang started to feel fear creeping up his spine. Was Merlinda even present here?

Out of the noisy crowd, two large beasts burst out. Riding on top of the magnificent beast was a female priestess dressed in a white priestess uniform. The other one was wearing the same uniform, except she was much taller and the other, her mount was exceptionally grand, as it was pure white. It was rather familiar to be fair. It was a unicorn. She looked like a goddess of the moon, was how one would surmise her appearance, even without knowing what a goddess of the moon should actually look like.

Hold on…That's Merlinda! The Priestess of the Moon!

As Zhang Yang had expected, she had gained another tier!

[Priestess of the Moon, Merlinda – The Moon Whisperer] (Ascended, Humanoid)

Level: 200

HP: 2,000,000,000

Defense: 32,470

Magic Attack: 162,165 – 242,165

Skills: ???

Note: The Prophet of the Moon God. The Leader of the Elven Race.

What? When did the professional prisoner change her name? The Moon Whisperer was the title only a Priestess of the Moon could inherit. Zhang Yang could not remember what the previous Priestess of the Moon was called, but if Merlinda could inherit the name, she must be the real deal!

Chapter 750: A Stronger Felice

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Hello there!" said Zhang Yang as he casually waved his hand to Merlinda. That disrespectful act had only triggered the Elven warriors around him to curse him even more. The man had not only defiled the sacred waters, and had shown his disrespects to the one above all of them.

When Merlinda removed her hood, her expression was stoic and furious. However, when she saw Zhang Yang was waving at her, she smiled jubilantly and waved back at him happily. "It's been a while!" said Merlinda. The unicorn that she was riding noticed Zhang Yang and puffed angrily while stomping his hooves in midair.

When everyone saw the reaction of their Priestess of the Moon waving nonchalantly back at Zhang Yang, they dropped their weapons and stared at her as if Merlinda was not the same person that they been worshiping all this time.

"Explain the ruckus," said Thea – Moon Glory. She was also a priestess of the moon, but was not at the same rank as Merlinda. In the past, Zhang Yang had meddled with her before.

"This human male breached our defenses and sullied the Spring of Life. His companion is still within the waters." One of the female warrior came up to Thea and reported the situation.

Thea sighed heavily and turned to Zhang Yang with regret in her eyes, "Zhan Yu. You have come from a faraway and had been a savior for all us Elves. You should have been treated as an honored guest. Now that you have trespass our Holy Ground and sullied our Spring of Life, I, for one cannot allow this to slip by. Please leave this place. We owe you our lives for saving the Priestess of the Moon in the past, hence, we shall do the same for you. You shall leave this place unscathed."

"The man has sullied our holy grounds! He must be executed!"

"Priestess! You cannot be serious!"

The other female Elves were greatly unsatisfied with the final verdict and had tried to refute Thea.

"Silence, my sisters. This man—" Merlinda tried to calm everyone.

"But, Priestess!"

"SILENCE!" Merlinda roared with such fury that her powers seeped out of her character. There was sudden burst of energy that made the surface of the water tremble with resonance of her powers. Everyone was completely silent and lowered their heads to show their obedience.

She then rode the unicorn towards Zhang Yang and held his hands. With a gentle smile on her face, she said, "Zhan Yu. Please make yourself at home!"

The other female Elves raised their head with shock at her response when she had invited him into their holy ground, when he was supposed to be executed! Thea turned to Merlinda and gave her a look which practically said, "Are you sure?" and Merlinda gave her a soothing glare that said, "It's going to be fine."

Zhang Yang had basically committed the gravest of crimes amongst the Elven culture. The Spring of Life was said to be the bathing place of the Moon God himself. Only newly born Elven babies were allow to wash themselves in the waters, once in their lifetime. However, Merlinda was the Priestess of the Moon, the prophet of the Moon God. With her holding the position, her words was the law. To defy her commands was to defy the Moon God!

Although the rest of the Elves were pressingly objecting Merlinda's action, they could do nothing but to obey Merlinda.

Before Zhang Yang was about to follow Merlinda back to her chambers, the Spring of Life glowed brightly. An orb floated upwards and out of the water like the sun that was rising up from the ocean. It was so bright that everyone had to shut their eyes for a moment. Zhang Yang squinted his eyes and he tried to keep his eyes open while trying to identify what was the object was. The light dimmed down but was still glowing, but too shining, but softly and easy to look at, just like the glow of the moon in the night sky.

"It's the Moon God!"

"The Moon God descends!"

"Praise the Moon God!"

The mounted elves descended to the nearest three branches and kneel at the light. Their mouths moved continuously as they prayed hard in the direction of the glowing orb.

Felice could really make a scene! Now that it has come to this, perhaps the Elves would not blame the little girl for sullying the Spring of Life, they would even have her worship the Moon Goddess, or something as grand as that! Zhang Yang snickered at the thought of it. All he cared was not how the Elves treated her, but Felice breaks the second seal!

Slowly, the light coming from the orb dimmed down darker until one point it looked like an embryo. The outer shell of the orb glowed and everyone could see the insides of the shell. There was a humanoid shape that was curled up in a fetal position. The light glowed brighter all the sudden. The tree briefly trembled as the light grew stronger by seconds. The chants of the Elven warriors around grew stronger and faster.

Crack—

The orb made a loud, cracking sound, followed closely by a loud explosion that broke the shell apart. Felice burst out of the orb of light, like an angel descending down to earth, and landed in front of Zhang Yang. Her armor and appearance was somewhat similar, yet different. Her hair was longer, her armor was grander and heavier, not to mention, she 'grew' too! Those mature features!

[Felice] (Humanoid)

Level: 169

HP: 2,021,040 (With Vitality Aura)

Defense: 16,850

Melee Attack: 153,077 – 233.077

Skills:

[Blazing Dragon's Spear, [Dragon's Spear Barrage, [Absolute Defense, [Dragonhawk Form, [Spectral Tiger Form, [Tree of Life Form].

[Tree of Life Form: Morphes into the Tree of Life. Able to use all skills available during the Tree of Life form. Unable to use skills during Human form.

Special: {Third Seal}, {Fourth Seal}

Note: Player Zhan Yu's Battle Companion.

Zhang Yang smiled and greeted Felice. He was actually holding back from screaming with joy when he saw Felice's new stats. It was already at the level of a Holy tier boss! From then on, Felice was stronger than the Phoenix pet. The Phoenix could only reach the level of Holy tier after reaching Level 170, as for Felice, she was already at that level at Level 169!

Furthermore, Felice's growth rate has reached 12 Stars for all Attribute growth after breaking the second seal! That means one equipment that could add 100 Strength points would grant Felice the ability to gain 120 Strength instead! That includes Vitality, Intelligence, Spirit, and Dexterity! It was the same as carrying a Vitality Aura, Strength Aura, Dexterity Aura, Spirit Aura, Intelligence Aura, all stacking with each other with the player's own aura as well!

Just how powerful could the little girl get!?

When Felice's new appearance was showed to the Elves, they had forgotten the sins that Zhang Yang had committed and proceeded to bow down to Felice. Zhang Yang scoffed at their reaction. The little girl has merely taken a simple bath and she was able to shock the entire Elven race. Perhaps Felice had some connections to the Moon God and was able to receive his blessing. Which Elf in the world could trigger such a reaction just by dipping their head in the water?

Hence, the noisy, hostile commotion ended peacefully and Zhang Yang followed Merlinda to her Moon Shrine. Without further due, Zhang Yang quickly reported the events that had occurred in the land and had asked for Merlinda for her aid to tackle the problem of the Spectre Invasion.

With a worried expression, Zhang Yang started his speech, "I'm sure that the brutality of the Spectre is known to all. Their goal is to eradicate all life on the surface of the earth. The Elves may have the protection of the Tree of Life. Know this, after all Humans, Orcs, Dwarves are removed, they would turn to the Elves next. I understand well that the Elven warriors are fearless and strong. If all Humans, Orcs, and Dwarves could not stop them, how could you? How could you stop someone as strong as the Lord of the Seven Spectre Kings?"

Zhang Yang continued to report on his encounter with Angus and had successfully instilled fear into the hearts of those who were listening. Even though there were the elders of the Elves who clearly preferred to stay clear of the war, Merlinda chose to follow Zhang Yang into battle. With a decisive handshake, Merlinda agreed to set foot into the battlefield. There were those that opposed her decision, but Merlinda used her position as the Priestess of the Moon to reject the teachings of their religion.

However, the battle of Angus would not matter even if Merlinda dispatches a million Elves. Besides Merlinda herself, the strongest ones there were only Holy tier entities. Their presence in the battlefield will be short and brief. Hence, with Zhang Yang's arrangement and Merlinda's agreement, Merlinda only brought along two other Priestesses along with her.

Zhang Yang lingered for a while in the land of the Elves and went off to Kanjar Fields to look for Smaug. Sadly, he had never set foot into the map before, not even in his past life. Furthermore, the map was not the same as Athuran that had the large, overly obvious Tree of Life. Secondly, the map that Smaug was situated in was much higher Level than the Elves. When Zhang Yang entered the map, monsters from a thousand meters away started to chase after him. He could not even see them coming! Hence, after trying several times but failing to sneak around, Zhang Yang had dropped the idea to search for Smaug and ask for his help. There were too many monsters and Zhang Yang could not even tank the normal tier monster. He was killed twice for lingering too long in the map. After dropping the idea, Zhang Yang turned tail and returned to White Jade Castle.

Merlinda was still in her land and will only come to Zhang Yang aid three days before the day of the counterattack. Hence, Zhang Yang will only able to submit the quest when she arrives. By the looks of it, Merlinda was an Ascended tier boss, the Military Points given as the reward should be plenty!

Even though Zhang Yang was unable to search for Smaug, he was rather satisfied with his current force. Merlinda has agreed to lend a hand and Felice had even managed to break the second seal to gain a tier, skills, and a new form!

[Felice] (Tree of Life Form)

Level: 169

HP: 1,265,980 (With Vitality Aura)

Defense: 3,890

Magic Resistance: 16,850

Magic Attack: 82,941 – 142,941

Skills:

[Bloom of Life: Heals an ally and nine more targets closest to the ally. Heals 100% Magic Attack worth of HP for 15 seconds. Instant cast.

[Praise of Life: Powerfully heals a target for 300% Magic Attack for HP and continuous to heal the target in the next 10 seconds for 100% Magic Attack for HP. Instant. Cooldown: 1 minute.

[Ancient Tree of Life: Morphs into the Ancient Tree of Life. Increases HP by 2000% and healing rate by 300%. Magic Resistance and Defense increased by 300%. Last for 2 hours. Cooldown: 3 days. Entering either Transformation skill will set all Transformation skill (Dragonhawk Berserk, Spectre Tiger Berserk) into the same cooldown time.

[Redemption: Instantly heals to full health. Cooldown: 30 minutes. Required: Ancient Tree of Life Transformation.

Note: Player Zhan Yu's Battle Companion.

Zhang Yang was given what he asked for. Felice's third Transformation skill was a healer type! Now, Zhang Yang could continue fighting endlessly. Felice could heal Zhang Yang whenever he needs her to!

The time was not yet ripe for the counterattack to start and Zhang Yang wanted to take the opportunity to reach Level 170. He could gain a skill point, which was not all that useful to him. Most importantly, both Felice and the Phoenix could gain an upgrade!

As mentioned before, mounts and battle companions will only receive an upgrade at every 10 Level threshold. By reaching Level 170, the Phoenix could reach Holy tier and Felice would still receive a boost in strength, even though she had already broken her second seal!

Racing against time, Zhang Yang had pumped all his attention into grinding alone and had neglected eevn having some shakalaka boom boom session with Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu. In one day and one night whole (real world), Zhang Yang did not pause for one moment and successfully reached Level 170 before the day of the counterattack.

As a repercussion of his actions, Han Yin Xue and Sun Xin Yu had rolled their eyes at Zhang Yang numerous times when they "poked" Zhang Yang junior but was chased away by Zhang Yang. Sun Xin Yu understood his feelings and was merely teasing him. Han Ying Xue however was being a b*tch she was, had even whispered into his ears saying something like having other men to scratch the itch in her hoohaa. As a response, Zhang Yang got up from his bed, removed his gaming helmet and gave Han Ying Xue a good "spanking" session for teasing him so.

Chapter 751: The First Attempt to Counterattack

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlinda had arrived two days ago, when Zhang Yang had just reached Level 170. He returned to the city and rendezvous with Merlinda to meet Gulaj together.

"Oh, my heavens. Her Chakra Level is over 10,000!" cried Gulaj with both fear and anxiety as he examined Merlinda through a weird, giant monocle.

Zhang Yang had no idea why he would mention something like Chakra when none of them were even using that system. Still, 10,000 seems to be a high enough number to shock the greedy little goblin. "Goblin, how does it look like? Is my ally strong enough for you?"

"Warrior. Do yourself a favor and sit back and relax. You have done a good job," said Gulaj as he nodded.

'Ding! You have completed a quest: Search for Reinforcement. Obtained 5,000 Military Points!'

Holy f*ck! No wonder the goblin would jumped up to his feet. Zhang Yang would do the same when he saw the reward given to him. It was 5,000 Military Points! Just so you know, Zhang Yang had been working from day to night and had only managed to earn up to 4,256 Military Points! And that was by repeating most of the same missions countless of times! Clearly, the mission reward of 5,000 Military Points was much!

Even though he was just so close to 9,900 Military Points, Zhang Yang did not necessarily required a 99% damage reduction. In truth, 90% was more than enough for someone as tanky as Zhang Yang to survive.

The two accompanied Elven warriors were Thea herself, and Aweena. Neither of them were happily following Zhang Yang voluntarily. They were there only because they had an obligation to protect Merlinda. As a result, their slight hatred for him was mainly because of his actions of bringing the secretive Elven leader, the prophet of the Moon God out in the open, completely exposed! Merlinda was a little unsatisfied as well. Not because of Zhang Yang taking her out to the open world, but was Gulaj offering Zhang Yang only 5,000 something something. To her, 5,000 was a number that did not suit her! She was someone that was worth at least 100,000!

Since Merlinda and her two escorts were not officialy introduce to the outside world yet, they were registered into the battle as normal adventurers, not as part of the Empire army, but as adventurers' reinforcements.

The seven other regions war against Angus had ended and none of them had any chance to defeat Angus. The previous wars had all been witnessed by the other region players. They could only see, but not participate in the war. The game system had locked down the region that was having the war, preventing players from other regions from coming in to disrupt the fair fight.

Everyone who fought in the first attack now knew Angus's special skill, that is to restore his HP endlessly as he kills. Hence, the war could be easily sabotaged by a small rat. Even though players had the rule-breaking skill to revive after death to rejoin the fight again and again, the boss was still unapproachable. The more players who die under his hands, the stronger he gets. Technically, all the boss would have to do is to spam his skill, and he would get an indestructible body.

If players had not stop being an idiot to rush and attack the boss, Angus will remain as the only entity that could not be kill even though all the Celestial boss in the entire server gathered together to fight him.

With the war coming closer, everyone gathered to discuss about the battle plans with Zhang Yang.

"Little Yang. How are we gonna do this? Should be put all our force into the fight tomorrow, or gather more Military Points and let the NPCs gain strength the next round?" Fatty Han was the first one to voice out his question.

Zhang Yang could not give an immediate answer then, as he was not sure if Merlinda still had the godly healing skill {Higher Regeneration}. If she does, then Zhang Yang would assume a fighting stance against Angus to fight till the end. It was hard to land a final decision since Merlinda's Level was too high for Zhang Yang to examine her skills. There will always be a limit cap for something as powerful as Merlinda's {Higher Regeneration}. For example, the [Forbidden Scroll]. When something that takes HP % into account has a limit as to how much could one lose or gain through a skill or item. If Merlinda's {Higher Regeneration} does not have any limits to her healing and 5% remains true to the number, Zhang Yang would be seriously unkillable. Imagaine if Merlinda were to cast the skill on Queen Serena…

Zhang Yang scratched his chin and finally answered, "Full throttle. We go all out with this. Do not hold back."

The biggest difference of the war between this lifetime and Zhang Yang's previous lifetime was that in this lifetime, there is Queen Serena. With her ruling over all 8 major cities in the continent, and the Meteor Sword in her hands, she was much stronger than any of the bosses in his previous life. Just by observing Queen Serena herself during the recent war with Angus, she was able to inflict 10% HP as damage, all by herself! Secondly, Zhang Yang had Merlinda participating in the war. The Ascended tier healer was the leader of an entire race! She would also be stronger than an average Ascended tier boss! Perhaps, there could be some positive reaction when the two powerful women work together on the battlefield! There was also the seven other Barons that ruled the seven other castles in the continent, all serving Queen Serena! They were also of Ascended tier! Combining all their strength and a few good players in battle, the chances to defeat Angus in this first attempt was rather high!

Zhang Yang laid down his decree firmly and everyone listened and obeyed. Everyone left the meeting and went on to make their preparation. Sun Xin Yu had her weapons and armor repaired, Wei Yan Er finally caved in and socketed gemstones into some of her equipment's empty sockets. Fatty Han and the rest of the party went off to prepare themselves as well. All preparation such as restocking potions, equipment fixing, and etc was done before the day ended.

All other region that had have their attempt at Angus ended the battle in just 5 to 6 hours. The battle was completely sided towards Angus with him killing everyone relentlessly. It was a complete waste of the three days given. That alone had everyone who had participated in the fight to widened their eyes and see how strong was Angus was. They now know that it was important to gather more Military Points and required the NPC bosses to gain several more defeat in order to be stronger to fight Angus.

By the time it was China's turn to have their attempt at fighting Angus, no other players from other region even cared to even watch. Since they were not allowed to participate, why not save that time to grind their levels, and do quests to earn more Military Points instead?

Truthfully speaking, almost all of China players had zero confidence in defeating Angus then. All but players from Lone Desert Smoke had the confidence to end the event at the next war. While Lone Desert Smoke made preparations to fight, the rest of the guilds on China, including the top guilds like Crimson Rage had placed their bets on the second or third attempt instead of going all out with Zhang Yang. Even though it was made clear that the drops from Angus will decrease after several attempts, they had no choice but to place their faith there, since it was, in their opinion, impossible to defeat Angus in the first attempt.

Zhang Yang and his party members had spent all their Military Points to hire elite tier NPC soldiers to be sortied in battle. Amongst them, it was obvious that Zhang Yang had the most NPC soldiers. He had a total of 92 elite tier soldiers ready to put their lives on the front line for him. Han Ying Xue and the others had at most, 50 which allowed them to reduce 50% of the incoming damage. Even so, Angus' attacks that could reach as high as a million damage made it rather dangerous for them to actually stand with Zhang Yang.

It was unfortunate that Military Points could not be transferred to another player. If they could do that, everyone would invest all their Military Points in just one player and have that player stand and fight Angus, in a one-man solo style.

From that point of view, it was reasonable as to why the other guild had not even tried to fight in the next war since none of them have enough Military Points to hire enough elite tier soldiers. With only 8 Ascended tier bosses, it was not enough to bring a smile on the Goddess of Victory.

To have 9,000 Military Points or more, one must continuously accept and complete various quests. By the time they had amassed 9,000 Military Points, the battle would have already ended on the fourth or fifth attempt.

The NPC Spellcasters of White Jade Castle gathered together at the entrance of the castle and worked together to conjure a large portal. It was to save both players and NPC soldier's time from traveling too far. In truth, that was the only way to participate in the war against Angus since he would be randomly placed in a different territory.

When Zhang Yang and his party got through the portal, he was surprised to see that the chosen battle ground was the outskirts of Souron's castle. Could it be coincidence that the system had allowed players to enact revenge for trampling over their Territory?

Behind Zhang Yang was 92 elite soldiers clad in strong and heavy armor. All of them were lined up neatly, with 2 soldiers standing out of line at the end of the formation. All the NPCs had 5,000,000 HP. Although they may have strong attacking power, Zhang Yang did not plan to have them to fight. Instead, he was only going to use them as 'remote' meat shields, far behind the front lines.

Even though the odds were against them, basically all players who had reached Level 100 were present on the field then. The reason was actually pretty straightforward. Even though they were practically food for the boss, they were there only for one sole reason. That is to kill the monsters before the boss appears. The number of monsters and the rate of their spawn was just too good to be left out.

The war in China was different compared to the other regions. Unlike the other region which had different rulers for each of their major cities, China was unified under the rule of Queen Serena and her seven Barons. It was an Empire with its own Queen Serena to decide on everything, from attacking, defending, or to withdraw.

As such, standing stoically in the front lines, Queen Serena pulled out her sword and point it to the sky as she roared grandly. "Attack!"

OUUUUUUU!

The sound of war horn was blown from the end of the soldiers and countless Empire soldiers rushed forward, leaving a trail of dust behind. Adding both the number of players and the NPC soldiers, over 100 million pairs of feet had sent the earth to tremble in a massive quake.

THUD! RAWR!

The castle doors of Souron's Castle fell down, and out came the Spectre monsters, pouring out from the castle, like ants.

The battle started swiftly and players had rushed into the front lines to have their first kill. It was a good chance to farm experience points instead of letting the NPC soldiers killing them. Everyone had turned on their attack mode to monster only and had not need to fear their skills landing and damaging nearby players. It was common courtesy. In fact, whoever stupid enough to land a hit on player will surely be killed almost instantly. Still, everything could be settled by talking like a gentleman. There was no need for a civil war in the middle of a f*cking war!

Fortunately no one was that stupid enough to incite a war then. Everyone was only paying attention to kill as many monsters as they can. Players with flying mounts had the advantage of flying over the crowd of players and could attack from the air instead of squeezing themselves like sardines.

Zhang Yang had placed the elite NPC soldier far behind the front lines. He left them there to stand as he and his party rode their mounts to the front to start killing. Even though they were only 10 players amongst the sea of hudreds of millions of players, they killing speed was unrivaled. They were so powerful that their movement speed was only halt for a brief second to allow Han Ying Xue to heal, leaving a huge empty plot of land at their wake.

1 hours…2 hours…3 hours…

As the battle reached the 5 hours time, the Spectre monsters stopped spawning from the castle. Even though there were still more than a million of monster remaining in the battle field, it was a number that could be cleared within a few minutes. Though players themselves had suffered major damage, they could easily revive back to rejoin the battle.

As the last monster was killed, the clouds in the dark sky started to roll in and formed thunderclouds. A bright lightning stuck the earth as a humanoid shadow figure emerged from the castle and stood where the lightning has struck. The humanoid figure then floated in midair, releasing a powerful aura as he floats. There was a huge black hole that was emitting darkness that was so black that it could practically suck in all light that even shone on it.

It was none other than Angus.

"All hands, retreat!" cried Queen Serena. Even though she could not observe Angus properly, she knew that Angus was an adversary that only she could fight toe to toe with. It was time for the Queen to fight the King, alone!

"Retreat? Not so fast, ants!" Angus scoffed and pulled out a thin dark blade. He then swung his sword so fast that it sent out a shockwave that immediately disintegrated a large number of the Empire soldiers, leaving the patch of ground of which the soldier was standing on, empty at the next second.

"Insolent fools. Know your places and die!"

Chapter 752: The Light of Victory

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

That single swift stroke of the boss had not only cleared a large number of NPC soldiers, but also unfortunate players who had miscalculated the trajectory of the attack. What's more, after they revived at the nearest graveyard, they were not allowed to reenter the castle region! They were blocked by a familiar wall of air.

Some things are best experienced yourself. During the counterattack attempts of the other nations, almost all the audience had not noticed the tiny details. Obviously, the system had already predicted a scenario where players will try to sabotage their own nation. They had indirectly made it easier to surviving players to fight Angus. In a sense, weaker players who allow themselves killed by Angus will be permanently removed from the battle. It was a good way to help stronger players who were actually trying and succeeding in killing the boss. Weaker players would only be "food" for the boss.

Hence, once all the Spectre monsters were killed, players had lost the ability to revive continuously and rejoin the fight. It was a fair way of things. During the fight with the Spectre monsters, players can have their fair share of experience points and during the boss fight, weaker players will be kicked out, preventing stupid people from doing stupid things to jeopardize the entire battle.

Serena was stood in front of the entire army. Next to her were all the other seven Barons. Zhang Yang stood beside them. He only dared to fight Angus because he had already prepared his hired elite NPC soldiers, along with 100 healers to heal the elite NPC soldiers behind. Since each of the elite NPC soldiers will help Zhang Yang take 1% of the incoming damage, Zhang Yang could last longer in the fight against Angus. At most, Zhang Yang would take 5 times the damage from Angus due to his level while each of his soldiers would take at most, 40,000 damage each! With Zhang Yang's meticulous arrangement of healers, they will be able to heal with one hand behind their back!

"Stay back. You guys cannot survive tanking the boss even if you have a 50% damage reduction. Save your Transformation skills first." Zhang Yang spoke out in the party channel. Besides Zhang Yang alone, the rest of the party had only 50 or so elite NPC soldiers. They would still take a heavy attack. Without Transforming, they would not survive a single hit! Everyone nodded and obeyed. Even the battle crazed little Wei Yan Er understood the gravity of the situation and nodded her head without showing any signs of being disgruntled.

"Merlinda. It's our time!" said Zhang Yang.

"I hear you." Merlinda nodded and smiled at her savior. At Zhang Yang's command, he had Merlinda command Thea and Aweena to stand with the elite NPC soldiers behind to be redundant healers. At the very least, they were extremely strong healers.

The Phoenix roared with all its might and flew towards Angus. The Unicorn followed along and shed its disguise, the horn on its forehead grew longer, and wings burst out of its body as Merlinda soared to the sky.

The sight of fiery trail in the sky, left behind by the Phoenix was a sight that everyone had already gotten used to. However, the unicorn was different. At then, everyone was stunned at the sight of Merlinda soaring through the high sky as she followed Zhang Yang.

That was a Legendary Beast! The Unicorn! It was the same as the Phoenix and the Red Dragon! Could it be, that Lone Desert Smoke was holding all the Legendary Beast in their ranks?! Who was that player riding the Unicorn? Why would she hide her profile? Was she afraid of people chasing after her?!

"They may have Legendary Beast mounts and what not, the boss is still too strong for them!"

"Yes. It's a suicidal run for them."

"Heh. So much for China's number 1 player. He can't even tank for more than a minute!"

Despite their scorns coming out from their mouth, it was obvious that jealousy and envy were building up in their hearts.

"Blade of Obliteration!" Angus roared and swung his sword, releasing thousand of swords in the air, attacking Serena, the seven castle Barons, Merlinda, and Zhang Yang, causing high damage. The NPC were still doing good since they were all at the right level to only take normal damage. Unlike then, Zhang Yang was rather unlucky to receive 5 times the intended damage! At then, Defense, Armor, damage absorption was all useless. Amongst all the defensive passive skills, only the 20% damage reduction skill was useful. From 3,829,935 damage, only 3,036,553 was taken, after 92% damage shared with all the 92 elite NPC soldiers, the final damage that landed on Zhang Yang was only 306,494.

Despite being reduced by a large amount, it was still high for Zhang Yang. At that point, with the Phoenix giving Zhang Yang close to 1.8 million HP boost, 300,000 damage was almost 10% of his entire HP. That was the reason why Zhang Yang had not allowed the rest of his party to join the battle. He had 92 elite soldiers and he had still taken a large damage, what more of 50 soldiers?

Still, he was pretty unlucky to receive the quintuple damage. Under normal circumstances, he should only receive double to triple damage.

With quick reflex, Merlinda clapped her palms together and cried, "Higher Regeneration!" She had cast {Higher Regeneration} not only on Zhang Yang, but also on herself, Serena, and the rest of the Barons!

[Higher Regeneration: Restores 5% HP every second. Maximum restoration cannot exceed 200,000 HP. Lasts for 20 seconds.

As expected, {Higher Regeneration} had a limit cap to its healing. Even so, 200,000 HP per tick was still high. In fact, Angus' {Blade of Obliteration} could only be cast every 2 seconds. Even though it hit Zhang Yang for quintuple its damage, Zhang Yang would take only 150,000 damage per second. At that point, Zhang Yang had over 3 million HP. 5% of that would roughly be 150,000. Since each healing tick would restore 150,000 HP, his HP would hold out indefinitely! If the healers behind the NPC soldiers do their job without a problem, and Merlinda herself remains alive throughout the entire ordeal, Zhang Yang would be the same as the boss, an unkillable entity!

At then, when something drastic had happened, no eyeballs were averted then. When players from all around noticed Zhang Yang had received the {Higher Regeneration} skill, they could not help but to feel both shock and envy.

What was that powerful healing skill!?

The strongest in-game skills would either damage or heal by percentage! Since the skill was not affected by a player's own attack power, there was no reason for them to get stronger damage stats. If a healer could have that {High Regeneration} skill, he or she would not need to pump Spirit or Intelligence! Even with a full set of Level 1 White-Wood equipment, they could still technically, fully restore a player with 4 million HP within 20 seconds. There was no need for anyone to hunt for strong equipment, then!

Then again, not all players were stupid. One look, and they would know that Merlinda was not a player, but an NPC. They knew that the system would not simply put out skills that would simply break the game. The skill {Higher Regeneration} as shown by Merlinda was not a single target, but a multi-target skill. That was not OP. That's Deadpool's level of game-breaking skill.

With the skill healing Zhang Yang like never before, Zhang Yang finally dared to rush into the boss fight and have him taste his Reaper's Scythe. Merlinda was the same as she was when he rescued her from the depth of the dungeon. She would keep on repeating the same healing skill over and over again. On the side note, Merlinda had gained a new weapon, a new magic staff that she could use to attack as well! She was not like before where she would just heal, heal, and just heal. That time, Merlinda could cast {Punishment Ray} to attack.

Queen Serena was astonished by the healing skill she had received. She turned to examine Merlinda and turned to Zhang Yang. "Is she your ally?"

"Yes, my queen."

"Wonderful. Perhaps she could remain by my side to strengthen the Empire's forces." Said Serena with a strong sense of ambition.

…

Zhang Yang had a complicated feeling about her wants. If Merlinda remains in the Empire, the entire race of Elves would be brought to light. Zhang Yang had merely pretended to be busy as he continued to attack Angus.

Zhang Yang's {Eagle Eye} could passively ignore 85% of the target's Defense permanently. Hence, Zhang Yang would only need to land one single strike of {Cripple Defense} to ignore all Defenses.

'-82,302!'

Zhang Yang basic attack lower limit was supposed to be around 160,000. However, despite having to ability to ignore all Defense, his damage was severely reduced. 80,000 damage was something that Zhang Yang found to be low, while the other players of the world would have already dropped their jaws to the ground.

{Charge Up Strike}!

{God of War Devastation}!

'-456,229!'

Sadly, the combined skill had suffered a 30% reduced damage. If it had not, the stacked skill damage could reach at least over a million damage! Still, the damage was enough to have Queen Serena praise Zhang Yang for his strength. That was because besides herself, even the rest of the Ascended tier Barons could deal only a fraction of what Zhang Yang had just dealt.

Zhang Yang only nodded his head to acknowledge Queen Serena's praise. In reality, he was rather happy. Such a powerful blast of power can only come from combining {Charge Up Strike}and {God of War Devastation}. Despite being able to deal 900% normal damage in a single hit, it had a 1 minute cooldown. It was not long, nor too short to be used as a chaining skill.

Other than the players in his party, all other players around could not observe the damage number inflicted on Zhang Yang, nor his overall HP in general. They could only see the long red bar on his head and a slight drop of it. Weirdly enough, the 10% emptied HP bar was refilled immediately in a blink of an eye. Could it be, that the boss' attack was getting weaker?

At then, a few players that had noticed Zhang Yang's endurance in the battle had rushed into the fight, thinking that if Zhang Yang could, they could as well. In the end, they were instantly obliterated by Angus in a single swing of his sword. Zhang Yang was frustrated by the stupidity of the players. They had wasted all his efforts by "healing" Angus HP from 99% to 100%.

If there are more imbeciles, might as well have them all come at once to let the boss end their lives, there and then. It would be better to have them die earlier than when the boss is at his last 10% HP.

When so many players had died, all the other hot-headed players stopped their tracks. Only then, they knew the real reason why Zhang Yang could endure long enough. The boss' attack was not getting weaker, it was Zhang Yang who was getting stronger! Just how many Military Points did Zhang Yang own!? How many elite NPC soldiers did he manage to hire, to allow the damage to be negated to such an extent?

1,000 Military Points was only enough for 10 elite NPC soldiers, which was only enough to reduce 10% of the oncoming damage and distribute them to all the 10 soldiers. 10% damage was nothing! NOTHING! When the players had finally accepted the truth of how strong Zhang Yang was, it was already too late for them.

Zhang Yang was not bothered by the players. He was busy calculating and averaging out the damage per second of the boss to find out the rough estimated time needed to kill Angus. When he was finished, he needed to calculate the right time for his party member to use their Transformation skills and enter the fight.

Amongst all the NPC present there, Queen Serena was obviously the one dealing the most damage. With Merlinda healing everyone, Serena and her seven Barons were able to hang on far longer. Although they would still receive damage faster than they could heal, it would be much better than just taking damage! As such, Zhang Yang roughly estimated that the fight can be dragged as long as 20 hours, or more! That is, if there are no more bird-brained players rushing into the fight to "heal" Angus, prolonging the entire fight. If that happens, Zhang Yang feared that not even two Merlinda (s) could save them.

The light of victory was just right there! There is hope!

Chapter 753: Adequate Preparation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Players like Snow Seeker and the guilds the she was leading were all good at calculating the odds. They had all seen the wars of the other region and had speculated that China will face the same fate as them. Hence, they had not tried to fight in the first counterattack. Instead, they had placed their faith in the third or fourth attempt.

Even though the number of Celestial tier set equipment will drop to 4 and 1 respectively, the time taken for them to reach the Level Requirement of the equipment would be a year. Hence, even though they could get 4 or 1 Celestial tier equipment, it would not much for them at the moment. It would not be possible for the developers not to host any more events in the coming times that would drop Celestial tier equipment as well. Hence, Snow Seeker and her followers had not spent a single Military Point that day. Mainly, they had not gathered enough Military Points to hire enough elite tier soldiers. Secondly, the odds of the battle were unfavorable for China. Hired elite tier soldiers would not last long. In fact, after the war ends, successful or not, the soldiers will disappear.

The one thing that slipped past everyone expectation of the war, was Merlinda' participation. She alone could change the tide of the battle. Based on the damage dealt and HP healing, the NPC forces could last more than 20 hours fighting Angus. When they finally realized it, regret was the very thing lingering in their mind.

To loot the boss' drop after his death, one must deal enough damage and not simply land a hit. Without Inheritance Transformation skills, no one could approach the boss without dying. His attack range was 500 meters! Then again, what use if a player has Transformation skill? Which healer could heal on par with the damage caused by {Blade of Obliteration}?

The worst part of all was that they could teleport back to White Jade Castle right then to hire soldiers, but would be unable to return to the battlefield! They would have to run back because the portal created was close and there was the invisible wall that was preventing them from returning to the field. That leaves them one option. That is to stare blindly at Zhang Yang beating the living hell out of Angus.

However, when one is pushed to a corner, players would start to feel intense jealousy towards Zhang Yang. They would try to rush to the boss when he is almost dying and "feed" him back to full health! Merlinda's presence in the battlefield could not retain all the NPC for long, and it was impossible to restore their NPC back to full health. If the battle lasts longer than 30 hours, surely Angus would be the last man standing.

At that moment, Zhang Yang was not focusing on the other player's feelings. All he cared was to attack the boss as fast as he could. Since the Phoenix attacks would be included to his character, his overall damage dealt to the boss was almost second to Queen Serena. Sadly, Felice was unable to gain the damage distribution from the elite soldiers. Even though her HP was slightly higher than Zhang Yang's, 2 million HP was not enough to last longer than 3 seconds when it comes to the boss' attack. At most, she could last for 6 seconds, thanks to the {Higher Regeneration} and that was it.

Although Zhang Yang wanted her to come out to attack, she could only stay in her Battle Companion U.I until Han Ying Xue and the rest of the party use their Transformation skill together. At that point, she could join the fight by activating her {Ancient Tree of Life} Transformation. At that point, her healing capability would exceed the likes of a B class Inheritance healer. Not to mention, her 12 Star Growth rate would further increase her potency, allow the girl to rival that of an A class Inheritance healer!

{Glare of the Death God}!

Resist!

Meh. Zhang Yang was not disappointed. He had not expected the skill to land since the opponent was a Celestial tier boss. He only had a few Holy tier equipment on him. If he, a level 170 player with a few Holy tier equipment could take out 10% of the HP of a Level 230 Celestial tier boss, that would be unfair.

As Angus gradually lost his HP bit by bit, he had only lost a total of 4% HP in one hour. Technically, they would need 25 hours to kill the boss. However, there was still the unaccounted factor of players who had not used their Transformation skill then. In the worst case scenario where Zhang Yang is forced to run in and out of the field to heal himself, his God of War Transformation would shorten the fight as well.

That was only one of the unaccounted factors that could affect the boss fight. If death of a player was inevitable, 4 deaths would extend the battle by 1 hour. 20 deaths would result in total restoration which would end up with Angus being the victor of the war. Even though a small portion of players had died in the battle with the Spectre monsters, another small portion of players had already left the battle when Angus had appeared. In the end, there were still more than 40 million players in the battlefield then, could Zhang Yang be sure that none of the 40 million players would not jump into the boss fight and "feed" him?

There is a saying, when the poor hungers so, the rich shall be their meal. Lone Desert Smoke had been hoarding all the riches of the land and Zhang Yang was the main culprit. To think that everyone would cower behind his back and allow him to take all the Celestial equipment when none of them could?

Hence, instead of waiting till the boss had lower HP, those nonsensical players with brains the size of a lizard's sh*t rushed past the NPC soldiers and into the range of the boss, all the while shouting phrases like "We can do it" and "For China". How could one stop them moving on when they were so insistent on dying?

At that point, Angus had lost 7% of his HP. If they die, the boss will restore all his HP. All the effort in the past hour will be wasted. Zhang Yang sighed with heavy heart and commanded all players in Lone Desert Smoke to stop or attack players who refuse to back down from the fight. He even had several of his members activate their Transformation skills to kill the players. Naturally, when Transformation skills are unleashed, no normal players would be their opponents.

After a few of the players were killed, they voiced out their complaints, accusing Lone Desert Smoke of occupying the battle with the intention to kill the boss alone. Those players were as expectedly from The Dominators, Eternal Flame, and The Myth. They were only doing so under the order of their guild masters to tarnish the reputation of Zhang Yang and his guild.

When things got heated up, players around joined the fray and cried foul at Lone Desert Smoke. Without much time at all, Zhang Yang's guild had become public enemy number 1. The one thing that Zhang Yang could not do right then was to retaliate there and then. Unexpectedly, as if Serena senses Zhang Yang was in trouble, she had turned her anger towards players that were not in his party and cried out to her soldiers. "Soldiers of the Empire. Keep all adventurers away from me! Chase them away until they are at least 1 kilometers away! Kill anyone who refuses to obey!"

Instantly, all the Empire soldiers pointed their swords away from Angus and turned around to attack the players behind them. They were all roughly 500 meters away from the boss and started to push all the players until they were 1000 meters away. The number of players exceeded the number of NPC soldiers. However, all the players were separated by guilds and parties. The top guilds were only Level 5 guilds. Even if they were to sortie 75% of their total members, 200,000 players versus a unified army will only result in the players' loss.

At then, all players started to withdraw from the front line when all the soldiers were pointing their swords, aiming their bows, channeling their spells, all with the intention to harm the players if they refuse to back down.

The battle continued on and Angus was being butchered alive by nine Ascended tier boss! His HP had dropped below 60%!

When players from other region had received the news of the unorthodox method and the conditions of the battle, they had rushed over to witness the war with their own eyes. How could China put a fight with Angus when the rest of the world could not!? They had the same number of Ascended tier bosses, yet why did their power gap differ so? All the other regions had lost the war in merely 5 to 6 hours, yet China was able to continue the fight and was actually showing signs of winning!

They knew Zhang Yang. They knew the pet Phoenix that he had. They knew that Zhang Yang was strong. No one could deny that fact. However, with the Level Suppression system affecting his damage output, how could the man fight Angus toe to toe? Zhang Yang may be strong, but there will always be a limit to it! Could it be, the female on the Unicorn…NPC?! Their eyes bulged out when they saw the prowess of {Higher Regeneration} on all NPCs, including Zhang Yang and his party members! No wonder the NPC could tank so long against the attacks of Angus! Was there such a powerful healing skill? But why didn't they receive such a buff? Why did the NPC not come to their aid when they were fighting Angus then? Could the system be biased to China? It could not be…

Players rode their mounts and tried to get a closer look at the battle between Zhang Yang and the boss, but they were blocked by the invisible wall. Disgruntled, but helpless, all they could do then was to watch how Zhang Yang defeats the final boss.

Zhang Yang noticed that the other players had moved back from the front lines. He then called his party members to ignore the soldiers and joined him in the boss fight. Since they had used their Transformation skills, might as well use them to the fullest. When all his party members came to his side, Zhang Yang called out Felice and have her morph into her Tree of Life form to assist Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart in healing the entire team. As for the rest of the battle companions of the other players, they were all kept in their respected U.I.s since they were too weak to begin with. Without Transformation skills, they could not possibly survive the crazy bombardment of the boss.

Merlinda had then demonstrated the prowess of her skill and cast {Higher Regeneration} on all his allies within 50 meters from her. It was extremely useful, since Zhang Yang had his {Vitality Aura} maxed out. Even the player with the lowest HP, that was Fantasy Sweetheart, had over 10 million HP! With {Higher Regeneration}, Felice, Han Ying Xue, and Fantasy Sweetheart's supercharged healing, everyone was able to last for as long as 2 minutes before they would need to pull back from the fight to fully restore their HP.

Even though all of them were suffering damage reductions from the Level Suppression system, they were able to compensate that with the damage gained from Transformation forms. Sun Xin Yu and Wei Yan Er were able to ditch out strong damage values. Sadly, Hundred Shot and Fatty Han were a little useless then. They were both Level 165 and both their Hunter's pets were only Mythical tiers. Despite being the same Legendary Beast as the Phoenix, the Red Dragon and Fatty Han's Phoenix could only deal damage half of what Zhang Yang's Phoenix could.

With the party all attacking alongside Zhang Yang, the overall DPS was increased slightly. Although it was not too obvious, the numbers will show later on after accumulation. Although everyone could not possibly deal enough damage to be able to loot the drops, they were fine by it, since Zhang Yang was there to swoop all the items later!

On the other hand, other guilds that were unable to sortie to fight the boss could only stare at Lone Desert Smoke with utter disdain! However, even though they had players with Transformation skills, they could not survive battling the boss, due to the lack of elite tier NPC soldiers! If they even try to do so, they feared that they will be a target of Lone Desert Smoke. Right then, how many guilds had the ability to attack Lone Desert Smoke? Zhang Yang alone had fought 30,000 players alone!

Then again, even though they could not have the equipment then, they were still in for a treat themselves if Lone Desert Smoke wins the battle. The reward for killing Angus was Level 2 and the recipient would be the entire of China! China was the last in the line. If they are unable to defeat Angus then, they would have to wait for a whole cycle. Other regions would have the chance to defeat Angus then! Although the chances of other region defeating Angus was extremely slim, it was not a bet that anyone would be willing to take.

Rather than going home empty-handed, might as well take home a Level 2 reward!

Chapter 754: Ending the Boss Fight

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

More and more players from all over the world gathered at the outskirts of Souron's Castle to witness how China was going to perform, or rather, how the stars of Lone Desert Smoke performed. Guilds like Crimson Rage who had a good relationship with Lone Desert Smoke bore no resentment to them and they cheered their allies on wholeheartedly. On the other end of the spectrum, guilds that would curse and resent Zhang Yang would be none other than The Myth, Eternal Flame, and The Dominators.

Amongst the crowded audiences, Liu Wei's cold stare was filled with the utmost killing intent that was capable of making any ferocious wolf cry in fear. The man's entire family had fallen, thanks to Zhang Yang. Although Zhong Xiu Hua came to their rescue, even he could only "save" Liu Wei alone. Before, he could admit that his resentment towards Zhang Yang was not only limited to only in the game. After the incident that befell the Liu Family, Liu Wei now bore so much hatred for Zhang Yang.

The Liu Industry was vast and wide. Apart from the company treasury, they had a few hidden offshore accounts that could not be traced. As Liu Wei was the future leader of the Liu Family, he had knowledge of a few accounts and was able to get the ownership transferred to him before they were all charged and prosecuted.

Hence, even though he had lost support from the Liu Industry, the amassed money was much more than he had once owned, legally. Sadly, even though he owned more than he could imagined, the source of money was not perpetual. Once the money is spent, there was no way for Liu Wei to replenish them. He had lost all his business.

Although Liu Wei was still able to push the guild on until the day he uses up all his remaining cheques. Hence, it would not be long before the guild that was built on money crumbles.

Unable to grasp the reality of his surrounding, Liu Wei was not able to reason well. Hence, not long after Zhang Yang and his party had managed to hack away 30 to 40% of the boss HP, he cried, "It's our turn!"

Be it Zhang Yang or the boss, it did not matter anymore. Even if he knows that he might die and restore the boss' HP, the thought of China winning the boss fight was no longer in his mindset. He was, literally blinded by anger.

Still, he had the perfect defensive formation of 12 Guardians around him. Naturally, even though he and the suicide squad he was leading was able to penetrate the defending Empire soldiers, he still suffered a little damage. The Empire soldiers were under direct orders from Queen Serena herself. Note that NPC's loyalty was absolute. Hence, when Liu Wei tried to burst through the defense line, thousands of attacks landed on Liu Wei. Even with {Sacrifice} on him, the attacks were so strong that the first Guardian was killed instantly. The result was the same, even when the second Guardian had spontaneously cast {Sacrifice} on Liu Wei. Same went for the third, the fourth, until the twelfth. In less than 10 seconds, all 12 Guardians were killed.

However, their deaths was not in vain as Liu Wei had managed to got through the defensive line, flew through the Dragon riders of White Jade Castle, and arrived behind Zhang Yang in a battered condition.

"Zhang Yang! Don't think I'll let you have it your way!" Cried Liu Wei with rage.

Almost instantly, Queen Serena turned around. Like a titan smiting down a tiny rat, her shadow eclipsed the sunlight as she approached Liu Wei.

"I warned you."

She lifted her sword and brandished several swings at super sonic speed, mincing Liu Wei's character into countless of meat cubes, splattering his blood all around.

Liu Wei's death was instant and swift. The poor bastard had forgotten that Queen Serena was no ordinary NPC. She was a boss capable of inflicting AoE attacks like Angus! Liu Wei's death should serve as a reminder to all players that she was capable of killing anyone! Back then, when she rode back to reclaimed her throne, all players were slaughtered mercilessly.

Fortunately, Angus' {Blade of Obliteration} was slightly slower than Queen Serena's attack. He was unable to kill Liu Wei to restore his HP!

"Trash." Another player from within the crowded audience muttered. He was called Dragon Marquis, or as also known as Zhong Xiu Hua. He had fished Liu Wei out from the public prosecutor's hand just to have him cause Zhang Yang some trouble. However, Liu Wei was not only able to touch him, he was killed almost instantly, by acting rashly, his sanity notwithstanding.

Back to Angus, he was being butchered alive. When he saw Liu Wei approaching him with little to no HP left, he was delighted and wanted to kill him to restore any bit of HP as he could. Unfortunately, he had just attacked and could not attack again 2 seconds later. Queen Serena had cut in, and literally cut the man into thousands of cubes before Angus could.

"Spectre scum. Know that this is the day that Humanity stood against the likes of you and prevailed!" She bore great hatred for the Spectre, due her past. If Zhang Yang had not come to her rescue, she would have continued being a prisoner in the tomb and might even end up joining their ranks!

"Nothing! Nothing can defeat me!" Angus scoffed with confidence, despite having his HP dropping to its end. Angus swung his sword far and wide to demonstrate his powers as a Celestial tier Level 230 boss! However, even though his face was stoic and calm, Zhang Yang knew that the end was coming, and he was frantically defending himself.

With so many pair of hands attacking the boss from all directions, Angus' death was sealed. The winner of the battle was made clearer as the battle goes on.

Even though his HP was approaching zero, his sword swings was still all-time powerful. However, as long as he could not kill anyone, any stronger attack would not do much for him. Thankfully that the boss had followed the aggro system and attack accordingly. If he had skills that could target at random, he could kill players from across the battlefield. That would truly be the end of the world. Why fight when there's literally no way to defeat such a boss. Zhang Yang gritted his teeth hard. Even though they could win the fight, he would still have to endure as long as 20 hours.

10 hours…15 hours…20 hours…

At that point, Zhang Yang was already tired beyond reason. However, his efforts did not go unrewarded. The boss already had less than 20% HP! It was the time for {Killing Cleave}! At that point, other bosses would have a higher attack rate. However, since Angus' {Blade of Obliteration} had an attacking rate of 2 seconds, it can no longer go any faster. Hence, the DPS of the boss was not raised. As for Zhang Yang, it was showtime.

Zhang Yang unsummoned the Phoenix and leaped into the air, transforming into his God of War form, and attacked the boss. Without the 92% damage redistribution, the Phoenix will be instantly killed! Han Ying Xue and everyone else in the party had long ran out of their Transformation forms. They cannot rely on {Higher Regeneration} to endure the boss' attack.

With {Indiscriminate} active, Zhang Yang went ahead and attacked.

{Glare of the Death God}!

Resist!

Zhang Yang sighed. Since the beginning of the fight, Glare of the Death God had never once landed a hit on Angus. Then again, Angus will be killed, no matter how. Hence, it did not matter, unless a gang of players come up beyond the defensive line of the Empire soldiers and offers themselves to the boss as tributes.

As Zhang Yang activated his Transformation skill, his basic attack was raised up to 455,563 – 534,863. If it was not for the Level Suppression system acting on him, his damage would have been higher than the seven Barons, and would be on par with Serena! As for Merlinda, her task was only to heal Zhang Yang and every NPC present. That was her one role. Do not look down on the healer. If it was not for her healing, Zhang Yang nor Serena could defeat Angus.

{Charge Up Strike}!

{God of War Heavy Axe}!

'-2,305,642!'

Even though Zhang Yang was suffering from the 50% damage reduction of the Level Suppression system, Zhang Yang could still deal such a powerful slam. Sadly, even though his attack was strong, it was merely 0.001% of the boss' entire HP.

"ENOUGH! YOU ALL ARE BENEATH ME! I AM A GOD! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT ANTs!" Angus bellowed angrily. Even when he has more than 4.6 billion HP, it was a number that was considered to be unsafe for Angus, since 80% of his HP bar was depleted!

"Even an ant will have the chance to rule over the world. I am but the one chosen and beloved by the heavens! I will rule over the lands and bring back the once fallen Empire to its former glory!" Serena jumped forward and cleaved Angus.

"HAHAHAHA! Such an ambitious woman! I shall have your dead body and revive you as a Spectre! The day shall come when you join our ranks! You will have what you wish, and more, after you die! You can rule the land, the earth, the sky, and even the entire universe!"

"Rest in peace, for that would never be my agenda!"

"Heed my words, human! I will rule over this land! The Spectre shall prevail!"

"Then, I shall dance on your grave!"

Serena charged her sword with holy power and swung her sword. Angus lifted his sword with great speed and blocked the attack. Sparks flew as the two blades clashed. Zhang Yang was blown away by the resulting force. How powerful could they be…

18%...16%...15%...

After several hours, after Zhang Yang's Transformation skill ended long ago, the boss' HP had finally dropped down to 1%! Almost everyone was unable to resist the temptation to land the killing blow. Some of them who had not used their Transformation skills activated them and launched themselves towards the boss in a wild attempt.

Even though the boss' attack range was as far as 500 meters, it would take players on flying mounts 10 seconds to cover. Hence, those with more than 5 million HP would actually reach the end and might, just might land a hit.

100,000,000…

50,000,000…

20,000,000…

As the number dropped exponentially, the players had managed to breech the Empire soldiers defensive line and reached Angus.

10,000,000…

5,000,000…

300,000…

"Rest in peace. And never come back!" Serena sliced off Angus' head and ended the battle.

"Gah…" Angus could not even speak. His spectral body dispersed into the void behind him, along with the rest of the dead bodies of the fallen Spectre monsters. The ball of void expanded as it sucked in more and more bodies. Until one point, the ball of darkness exploded, sending a strong shockwave that sent the stationary Serena's hair backward wildly. As expected of a Celestial boss, starting off incredibly strong when alive, even during death, he would go with a flash!

Serena sighed with exhaustion and dropped the Meteor Sword to the ground. She dropped down to her knees and raised her head to the sky.

"Are you alright? My Queen?" Zhang Yang descended downward and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm fine. I'm just extremely tired."

'Ding! Server Announcement: Lord of the Seven Spectre King, Angus has been slain! Rejoice, fellow adventurers! The time has come to celebrate!'

'Ding! You have received a reward: Level 2!'

Instantly, the entire land of China was illuminated with pillars of light. Those who had participated in the battle, alive or not, had gained 2 Levels, instantly.

"Celestial equipment!"

Some of them had not forgotten about their true aim of fighting the boss. When Angus had perished into nothingness, there were many radiant metallic items that were giving off colorful light on the ground! Those were Celestial tier equipment! The strongest armor and weapons that anyone could have in the game! However, not everyone within the vicinity could loot, they would have to deal a certain amount of damage to have the qualification to do so.

As such, when they had rushed over to the pile of treasure, their hands merely phased through the pile of items. They could not pick them up! Zhang Yang ran as fast as he could, swooping all the items with both his hands with crazy speed. Everyone, literally everyone around Zhang Yang grew angry and picked up their weapons.

"KILL ZHAN YU!" With the temptation of the Celestial equipment hanging in the balance, no one was thinking straight. They had not care even if Zhang Yang was the number 1 player in the entire of the game. He had taken ALL OF THE ITEMS! ALL! How would anyone think straight then?!

"Impudent fools! Begone!" Serena picked up her sword off the ground and lazily swiped her sword through the air. Almost instantly, a bright crescent beam blasted out and vaporized all the players around. Some of them were still in their Transformed states and managed to survive the attack. As such, everyone retreated immediately. None of them had anticipated Serena, a god-killer NPC, would protect Zhang Yang!

She was, after all, the ruler of the Empire. Technically, all players were her citizens. If they were to try and attack the Queen, they will be branded as traitors of the Empire. They would have their privilege to auction, storage, repairs, socketing, Profession, and many other facilities in the Empire revoked!

With that sort of threat at hand, she was protecting Zhang Yang! No one even dared look him in the eye!

Chapter 755: Magnificent Treasure

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang found the whole situation extremely funny. Still, it was still dangerous for him to linger there any longer. Serena was about to return to White Jade Castle as well. It would be best for Zhang Yang to go back to town, where PvP wass forbidden. Even though he was able to tank Angus, a Celestial tier boss, he will never be able to tank all of China's raging players.

Queen Serena was still in an attack stance when she escorted Zhang Yang to the far end of the now quiet battlefield. No one dared to approach him when superwoman was right beside him. The Empire's Spellcasters opened up a portal from White Jade Castle and allowed the entire army to return home. Players in the battlefield could use the portal as well.

Zhang Yang thanked Serena for her efforts in the war and quickly bade her farewell. He rushed back and brought Merlinda, and his party members back safely to White Jade Castle.

There was only one way for anyone to kill Zhang Yang to get his Celestial tier drops, and that was to have all other players from other regions to issue a region vs region war and conquer White Jade Castle. As for players from China, they had absolutely nothing else to do but stare blindly at Zhang Yang.

"Little Yang! Come on! SHOW IT! SHOW ME THE TREASURE!" cried Fatty Han frantically, like a hungry monkey.

Zhang Yang snickered, but when he turned to meet the party, everyone was practically behaving like a hungry wolf, silent and ready to pounce on him.

"You guys…calm down, yeah? Why are all of you looking at me like hungry wolves?! I'm not a piece a meat. I'm not tasty!" cried Zhang Yang as he laughed and teased the party further. After a good laugh and teasing, Zhang Yang finally opened up his inventory and showed everyone the haul.

As they weren't able to defeat Angus in the first attack, the drop was reduced from 13 to 10 Celestial tier set equipment and 3 Celestial tier normal equipment. There were even more random items as well, including 7 skill books, 3 [Skill Point Crystals, 9 [Advance Aura Stones, 2 [Forbidden Scrolls, and the Second Chapter of the [Book of Revelation]!

All the Celestial tier set equipment obtained were boots. Besides Templar, Witch Doctor, and Sniper, there were set equipment for the other subclasses. After gaining the God of War Inheritance, Zhang Yang was able to equip both Berserker and Guardian type armors. However, since Wei Yan Er was there, he would have to resort to taking only the Guardian type armor.

Even though the set effect of the two equipment were different, the basic properties boost was the same.

[God Killer War Greaves] (Celestial, Heavy Armor)

Defense: 2560

Vitality: 47343

Strength: 6163

Dexterity: 2515

{Level 8 Socket}

Equip: Increases maximum HP by 94,680.

Equip: Increases damage dealt and healing rate by 15%.

Equip: Absorbs 5,472 damage on attack.

Use: Drops a powerful kick on the target and stuns the target for 10 seconds. Effect can be inflicted on targets below Level 230. Cooldown: 1 hour.

Level Requirement: 230

Class Requirement: Guardian

Special: Level Requirement lowered by 30 Levels.

God Killer Set Effect: {God Killer Helmet}, {God Killer Necklace}, {God Killer Cape}, {God Killer Chest Plate}, {God Killer Gauntlet}, {God Killer Sheen Guard}, God Killer War Greaves, {God Killer Ring}.

Two Equipped Set Effect: Increases damage reduction rate by 20%

Four Equipped Set Effect: Reduces 10% damage on all allies within 40 meters around the wearer.

Six Equipped Set Effect: Grants a fixed chance to activate {Shield Wall} upon attack. Triggered {Shield Wall} will not affect the player's {Shield Wall} cooldown.

Eight Equipped Set Effect: Automatically triggers {Shield Bash} after a successful {Block}. {Shield Bash} trigger would not cost any Rage points and will not affect the player's {Shield Bash} cooldown. 100% Critical rate. After striking a target with the triggered {Shield Bash}, grant a chance to stun the target for 3 seconds. Stun effect will affect all targets regardless or Level.

Note: There was a legend. A Legend about the God Killer Ash Crux. Ash had slain 8 Gods and used their blood to forge each of the equipment. All the equipment forged with the god's ichor will beseech the wearer with such strength that even the God of Death will shiver with fear.

Since the set equipment was specially "forged" for Guardians, the set effect will be mostly defensive. After collecting all 8 equipment, the set effect granted then will provide a certain degree of damage boost. It was a 100% Critical hit, a zero cost {Shield Bash} that could not only deal massive damage due to Zhang Yang absurd Strength value, it would also stun the target for 3 seconds.

Zhang Yang widened his eyes when he read the description of the equipment: "Stun effect will affect all targets, regardless of Level." That would mean that all bosses, even the Celestial tier bosses could be stunned! WOAH! As expected of a God Killer armor!

The excitement and happiness, knowing that soon, he would be this strong! However, Zhang Yang immediately realized that he was thinking too far into the future and had forgotten to take account the process. Collecting all eight parts of the set equipment would require Zhang Yang killing eight Celestial tier bosses. Once he collects all the parts…he would definitely be able to defeat the ninth, the tenth, and so on without a problem! In that case, the free {Shield Bash} and stun skill will only be adding salt to the ocean!

Still, by having the eighth set effect would undoubtedly strengthen his overall battle prowess. {Block} has a 6 seconds cooldown period, hence, even though the chance to trigger the {Shield Bash} stunning effect, it would greatly increase its proc rate. During PvP battles, if Zhang Yang is lucky enough to proc the stun effect, the player can kiss goodbye to winning the battle.

Those who are able to get their hands on the Celestial tier equipment would be happy. Since there wasss more than one player of the same class, there will be tears and sadness in the party. For example, Fatty Han and Fantasy Sweetheart lost to Hundred Shots and Han Ying Xue during the rolling for their items. Be it anger or sadness, they could do nothing but to congratulate their partner.

The luckiest one there, besides Zhang Yang, would be Lost Dream. Sun Xin Yu had the S class Inheritance, like Zhang Yang, she would be able to equip both subclasses of equipment. She then chose the Bandit type boots, leaving the Assassin type boots to Lost Dream. There was no need for a roll!

Although some of them were unable to get themselves equipment, it was still, fine since Level 200 was still pretty much at the horizon. They had more than enough time to hunt for another Celestial tier boss, sometime later in the future.

When all the set equipment were distributed, the remaining three Celestial tier equipment were put on display. All three of them were not subclass specific.

[Muckra's Mjolnir] (Celestial, One-Handed Hammer)

Weapon Attack: 36,948 – 56,948

Attack Interval: 2.8 seconds

DPS: 16,767

{Level 8 Socket 1}

{Level 8 Socket 2}

Equip: Increases damage dealt by 70%.

Equip: Increases Critical chance rate by 20%.

Equip: Grants a chance to inflict 10 times normal damage on the next attack to a target after attacking.

Equip: Grants a chance increase attack speed by 20% after attacking.

Level Requirement: 230

Special: Level Requirement reduced by 30 Levels.

Note: Muckra was a warrior who used magic as his main offense. Although his magic could not defeat a Spellcaster, and his strength could not defeat a Warrior, he was able to defeat them both with a little adjustments tohis hammer.

Everyone examined the weapon and were shocked beyond words. Be it the high damage weapon attack, or special weapon effect, both were extremely strong! Perhaps, it was even stronger than a set-equipment!

Both Sun Xin Yu and Endless Starlight were suited to using the one-handed weapon, however, Endless Starlight had the priority since he was a Defender with the skill {Hammer Mastery}. The man cried his eyes out and thanked his mother for being born, and thanked Sun Xin Yu for allowing his lowly self to accept the weapon and even thanked Zhang Yang for finding him after being kicked down from the cliff with Daffodil Daydream!

The next item was a Cloth Armor type. Since Fantasy Sweetheart had lost the roll to get the set equipment boots, the Celestial tier dress was given to her.

The last item was neither an equipment nor a weapon, but an accessory. A beautiful metallic ring, designed to curl around the finger of the wearer.

[Unfaltering Faith] (Celestial, Ring)

Vitality: 23671

Strength: 3081

Dexterity: 3081

Equip: Increases maximum HP by 47,340.

Equip: Increases damage dealt and healing rate by 15%.

Equip: Absorbs 2,735 damage upon attack.

Use: Resets all cooldown to 0 for all skills with less than 30 minutes of cooldown time. Cooldown: 30 minutes.

Level Requirement: Level 230

Special: Reduces Level Requirement by 30 Levels.

"Dear ladies and gentleman, since all of you have obtained a Celestial item. May I humbly ask for this ring since this Fatty bro had not able to receive anything?" said Fatty Han, wearing the expression Zhang Yang had seen many a times on greedy Goblins and Dwarves.

Everyone laughed and agreed to let Fatty Han have the ring.

All three [Skill Point Crystals] were distributed accordingly to turns. As for the [Advance Aura Stones, two were given to Sun Xin Yu to increase her {Critical Aura} to Level 10, three were given to Wei Yan Er, three were given to Hundred Shots, and the last one was given to Daffodil Daydream.

As a result, the cumulative aura had increase the entire party stats as such: Vitality 40%, Healing Rate: 30%, Critical chance rate: 10%, Strength: 20%, Pet Damage Increase: 30%.

The two [Forbidden Scrolls] were named [Reaper's Descend, and [Stuttering Focus].

[Reaper's Descent] was an AoE attack skill that had the same effect as other AoE attack [Forbidden Scrolls]. (Deals 10% HP as damage for 30 seconds). The only difference that [Reaper's Descent] had was the upper and lower limit cap at 250,000 and 100,000 damage.

[Stuttering Focus] was a single target debuff that will cause the effect called {Stuttering}. Every 3 seconds, the inflicted target will have a 10% chance to stop moving, attacking, or do any other action. It was similar to [Absolute Binding] but the effect was effective against targets until Level 230.

If a boss similar to Angus ever appears again, Zhang Yang could use the [Forbidden Scroll: Stuttering Focus] to control him!

Sadly, all Celestial boss were considered Unique. Angus' death is permanent and there would never be a boss named Angus anymore. However, the Spectre system will elect a being that will take over as Lord of the Seven Spectre Kings. Hence, the number of Celestial tier bosses will remain the same, even if they are being killed like ants.

Naturally, all the skill books were distributed according to their class requirement. If there are skill books that could be learned by multiple classes, the distribution method will then be changed to Roll The Dice.

Zhang Yang had obtained skill called [Surrogacy]

[Surrogacy: Connects with an ally at the spiritual level. When you or the chosen ally receives an attack, the attack damage will be reduced, based on the value of the higher Defense, amongst the two. [Surrogacy] can only be cast on one target at a time. The Level Gap between the caster and the chosen target must be lower or equal to 30.

Although the skill was pretty confusing and sounded rather useless, it was in fact extremely useful. It could be used on either the DPSer or the healer. In simple words, Zhang Yang can instantly have someone like Han Ying Xue gain the same Defense as Zhang Yang! Furthermore, the skill can also be used on a tank! Zhang Yang could turn a "tofu" tank into a super-powered tank!

On the other hand, if Endless Starlight activates his King Kong Transformation skill, Zhang Yang could use the skill on him, and Zhang Yang could gain Endless Starlight's boosted Defense value! It would be the same for Zhang Yang if he uses his Transformation skill. That would be the best way to use the skill. A free tank! Naturally, the HP value of both the caster and the receiver would remain the same.

The happiest person was Wei Yan Er, not Zhang Yang. The little girl had called shotgun for the skill. As long as she is in the party with Zhang Yang, he would have to use the skill on her so that she could attack till her heart's content.

Chapter 756: The Additional Effect of the Book of Revelation

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

Truth be told, other than the Celestial Tier Armor set, the [Book of Revelation: Chapter 2] was the one item that made Zhang Yang the happiest man on earth.

Zhang Yang had the [Book of Revelation: Chapter 1] and [Book of Revelation: Chapter 3 - 4] in his possession. By acquiring the [Book of Revelation: Chapter 2, he could finally combine all four broken chapters of the book into one!

With all four broken chapters combining together into one, a stream of blinding light flashed across the items. Then, the four items became one.

[Book of Revelation: Chapter 1 – 4] (Legendary, Unique)

Description: Increases 20% Damage dealt to all party members of the holder within the range of 100-meter radius from the holder. The same effects cannot stack. If the holder is killed, the holder can choose to resurrect at the same spot where he or she died. The holder will have 40% HP and 40% MP upon resurrection. This effect can only be triggered once in every 7 hours. Similar type of effects cannot stack as well. If the holder is killed by other players when the effect is under cooldown, the item will be dropped. This item can only be brought along, and cannot be destroyed.

Effect: Binds to a Skill and enhances that Skill (Skills that have been enhanced before cannot be enhanced again). Unbinding the enhance effect causes a 24-hour cooldown to the binding feature.

Use: Combines this item with [Book of Revelation: Chapter 5].

Huh? Other than the additional damage and the additional Resurrection effect, there was another additional special effect that would allow the holder to enhance Skills?

Zhang Yang quickly brought up his Skill List and selected his {Block}. Then he proceeded on to select the [Book of Revelation]. Instantly, a stream of dazzling golden light flashed across his entire body. The next thing Zhang Yang noticed was the description of his {Block} had changed.

[Block (Enhanced)] (Level 10): Raises your shield up high, blocks an attack from the enemy head-on. Lasts for 1 second. Upon a successful block, causes 200% Strength points of damage to the target and creates a large amount of aggro. You will acquire 30 Rage Points as well. Cooldown: 5 seconds. Require: Shield.

The cooldown had been reduced from 6 seconds to 5 seconds! Furthermore, the strike back damage had been increased from 100% Strength points of damage to 200%!

Even though the cooldown period had only be shortened by 1 second, it was a 17% improvement in efficiency of the Skill! Initially, Zhang Yang could only activate his {Block} 5 times within a timeframe of 30 seconds. Now, he could activate his {Block} up to six times within the same timeframe. This could really invoke a game-changing effect when taking on certain bosses!

Other than that, this effect could also be unbounded! This effect could enhance any Skills! Of course, Zhang Yang's Skills which are already enhanced, such as {Force Strike}, {Cripple Defence} and {Thunder Strike} could no longer be enhanced any further. Otherwise, those Skills would become too powerful for the game.

This book would basically be as powerful as a Skill Book that contains all the powerful Skills, such as {Superior Force Strike} and {Superior Thunder Strike} for other players if they had this. They could switch between Skills of their choice to bind the book with, once every 24 hours! It would really be a very practical and versatile asset.

Furthermore, these were just additional effects, provided by the combination of 4 broken chapters of the [Book of Revelation]. If the remaining chapters of the book were to be collected and combined together to form the complete [Book of Revelation, there should be more additional effects that the book could offer, right? It would be ideal if the holder gets one additional effect for every chapter combined!

Zhang Yang was grinning in joy. At the same time, he was slightly agitated, because the chapters of the book had to be in sequence in order to be combined into one. So, he could not just take the Chapter 10 from Sun Xin Yu and combine it with the Chapter 8 that he had. Why couldn't these two chapters just function as Chapter 5 and Chapter 6?!

To have such a thought in his mind, Zhang Yang's greed and desired must have overtaken him a little while there.

Other than that, Zhang Yang was not granted with the 'First Clear' of a Celestial boss upon Angus's defeat, after all. It was quite obvious that the battle was already won, because the NPCs did most of the heavy work. That was most probably why the system did not recognize Zhang Yang as the slayer of the boss.

Firstly, Zhang Yang went up to thank Merlinda. He managed to get her to stay in the White Jade Castle for the next few days. Queen Serena had sent forth her men to escort Merlinda to the palace. However, the queen's 'summon' was declined by Merlinda with regret. Two days later, Thea and Aweena pulled Merlinda out of the city quietly, as if they were afraid that Merlinda would be 'corrupted' after staying too long with Zhang Yang.

The moment the quest of slaying 'Angus' was handed in, Zhang Yang and everyone in his party of ten received two Skill Points. Unfortunately, they did not acquire any addition to their levels as rewards. However, from another point of view, the 2 levels that they acquired the moment when the boss was slain was considered as that reward already, wasn't it? The only thing that left Zhang Yang dissatisfied was that everyone who joined the boss battle had acquired the same 2 levels as well.

Zhang Yang added one of the Skill Points on his {Shadow Clone}. After fully upgrading that Skill, he added the other Skill Point to his {Force Strike}. Well, he chose to add the Skill Point to his {Force Strike} because that Skill could have an additional damage of 300%, just like his {God of War Devastation} and his {God of War Battle Axe}, when that Skill hits level 10.

Upon Angus's death, the players naturally had to recover the Territories they lost. Meanwhile, after the death of a super boss, the remaining monsters had nothing left to stand against the players. In just two days, the 7 main cities had been declared to be returned under the ruling of the White Jade Empire. Meanwhile, all Territories had been rebuilt.

Unfortunately, the invasion was not triggered by activating a [Monster Attack Order]. Therefore, it did not matter whether it was Thunderstorm Castle, Morning Town or Souron's Castle, they all belonged to Zhang Yang. As long as he could secure the main halls of the Territories and clear out all monsters that were still in Battle Mode, Zhang Yang could regain control of the Territories once again. By then, Zhang Yang should be able to rebuild the Territories after he regains his status as the Baron of the Territories.

Of course, he had to spend a fortune to rebuild all that. However, he actually lost way more than that, just because he could not get a dime from the Teleportation Circles for over 1 month. That amount that he could not earn was far more than the millions of dollars he spent to repair his Territories.

After they've destroyed all four 'Darkness Falls' devices in the hearts of the four high Tier Territories, the players claimed total victory over the Spectre Invasion battle! However, it was obvious that the event was far from over. The system notified the players that the Spectres would not admit their defeat just because they failed in their invasion plan. They were hiding somewhere secretive, rebuilding their 'Darkness Falls' so that they could return once again to lay waste to the land one day!

That would the theme for the Level 170 Dungeon's 'Spectre's Secret Lair'. Players could form a 50-player scale party to enter and destroy the Spectre's ambition and scheme, once and for all.

When the Teleportation Circles of the Territories resumed their functionality, many players cheered and ran around like joyful children, racing towards a new playground. Some things are not appreciated until they are gone. Therefore, the players were forced to travel around on their Flying Mounts for over a month when the Territories were 'out of order' momentarily. Because of that, they realized the importance of Territories and their Teleportation Circles. Most of the players were depending on the Teleportation Circles to travel back to their main cities from the Territories. Some were traveling across the main cities and the territories just for fun. Zhang Yang felt extremely happy, because of that.

Normal players could continue enjoying the joy and entertainment that the game could offer at the moment. However, the top Tier players had no luxury at all to relax. The next phase of the story was about to begin! They had to get ready for the upcoming competition in acquiring the 'First Clear' for the Hardcore Mode of 'Spectre's Secret Lair'! It's going to be way more intense than they could ever anticipate!

The 'Spectre's Secret Lair' was a 50-player scale dungeon, and only players who had attained Level 170 could enter the dungeon. Currently, even Zhang Yang, Sun Xin Yu and Wei Yan Er were still dangling around Level 167, Level 168!

The fact that the China Region was the one who took the credit for slaying Angus had led them to earn a lot of benefits! Players in the entire China Region had acquired a reward of 2 levels. It was particularly effective for the high Tier players.

Not having enough members at the required levels, Zhang Yang could not begin 'snatching' the 'First Clear' of the dungeon's Hardcore Mode. So, he could only hustle his party members to grind their levels a little faster. All he needed was to have 30 Level 170 players challenge the Normal Mode and the Hard Mode of the dungeon. By then, he should be able to get familiarized with the dungeon boss's behavior.

For the next few days, Zhang Yang took it easy as he grinded his levels. While he was at it, he was experimenting the additional enhancement effect of the [Book of Revelation] that he had acquired a while ago. He switched the effect onto his Skills, one after another to see which Skill had the most to gain.

Some Skills actually became so oppressive after the enhance effect was applied on them. For instance, the cooldown of the {God of War Transformation} had been shortened by 2 hours! The effect sounded too great to be true! Two hours is as long as the duration of the Transformation Skills can last!

However, if the 72-hour cooldown is taken into consideration, the shortening of 2-hour of the cooldown period would not make much of a difference. Furthermore, no one would actually activate their Inheritance Transformation immediately after the cooldown. Everyone would only use their Inheritance Transformation in crucial moments. Normally, players would only use their Inheritance Transformations once in every 4 to 5 days. Therefore, the enhance effect would become pointless for that Skill.

Well, instead of having a 2-hour shortening on the cooldown of his {God of War Transformation}, Zhang Yang would prefer more to have a 2-hour increment on the duration of his Transformation!

Of course, there were also other Skills that become much more powerful after applying the Enhance Effect. For instance, the duration of Zhang Yang's {Shield Wall} had increased by 2 times longer! Other than that, Skills such as {God of War Devastation} and {God of War Battle Axe} had their cooldown periods shortened a little. For example, if the Skill's cooldown was 1 minute, then the cooldown period would be shortened down to 50 seconds, 30 seconds or even 25 seconds. However, boosting Zhang Yang's Offensive Skills was not as ideal as boosting Zhang Yang's Defensive Skills.

Well, Zhang Yang also had another oppressive Skill called the {Rising Dragon Strike}. Upon applying the Enhance Effect on it, the Skill only received a 'slightly higher chance' of being triggered. However, after Zhang Yang gave it a try, he noticed that there were still less than 0.001% chance for the Skill to trigger! Well, judging from the Skill's damage output and that it was also an AoE Skill, it would be outrageous for the other players and monsters if the rate of triggering this Skill was high.

Finally, Zhang Yang decided to apply the enhancement effect of the [Book of Revelation] to his {Block}. That was Zhang Yang's most frequently used Skill after all. So there was a high value for him to apply the enhancement effect on that Skill.

Zhang Yang arrived at the Rock Flatlands. It was a Level 150 – 180 map that was the standard for players to grind for their levels. He had chosen to come because there were much fewer players here. Furthermore, he might even get a chance of encountering a Holy Tier boss!

Having Felice tagging along with him, Felice would also transform into her Dragonhawk form while she battles the monsters. After clearing out the monsters, Felice would transform into her Tree of Life form and heal Zhang Yang. Therefore, Zhang Yang did not have to take Snacks like crazy after encountering a few Elite Tier monsters.

Zhang Yang did not have a clear direction at the moment. So, after letting his Herb Foraging Familiar out into the wild, he just casually walked around and slew monsters in his surroundings. Well, as long as he earns Experience Points, his destination would be of no consequence at all.

After grinding for an entire day, he arrived at a settlement of men. It was a village built along the side of a large lake. There should be about thousands of families settling down, over the village. Well, the village was rather large, and could be considered a rural town, if such a thing even existed.

Right in the middle of the village, there was a noticeboard. There were two wanted posters pinned right on the board. One of the wanted posters was flashing vaguely. It was the telltale sign of a quest.

Zhang Yang touched the wanted poster with his hand. He immediately received a new quest.

[Loch Ness Monster in Guura Lake] (Difficulty: Rank-C)

Description: The legendary Loch Ness Monster has been resurrected! A few villagers claimed to have sighted the shadow of the Loch Ness Monster by the northwest of the lake during midnight! Quickly, can someone go and find out what is really going on? After obtaining the truth, please report the news to Sandrake the Chief of the village.

Completion: The secret of Loch Ness Monster of the Guura Lake 0/1

After reading the description of the quest, Zhang Yang confirmed that the Loch Ness Monster would only reveal itself by nightfall. It was still broad daylight, now. Therefore, Zhang Yang had no need to rush. So, he went to have a stroll around the village, taking out some monsters nearby the village and earning some Experience Points. He would only get back to the Northwest of the lake by nightfall.

"Shakaka!" The moment he landed on the ground nearby the lake, a fishmen rushed out at him from the water.

[Guura Lake Fish-Man] (Elite, Humanoid)

Level: 170

HP: 5,100,000

Defence: 7,000

Melee Attack: 40,774 – 60,774

Skills:

[Fishbone Piercing Shot: Causes 100% Melee Attack of Physical Damage to the target and the other targets behind the first target. Will cause the targets to bleed continuously. When the targets are bleeding, they will receive an additional 20% damage. Lasts for 10 seconds. Effects cannot stack.

[Flee: When a Guura Lake Fish-Man's HP bar reaches 20% left, it will begin seeking help from its friends.

Chapter 757: Loch Ness Monster

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With the intention of showing the Fish-Man how powerful his {Block} has become after the enhancement, Zhang Yang immediately raised his shield to engage in battle with the monster.

{Block}!

'-107,298!' Damage Deflection.

'-107,298!' {Shield Bash}!

Because of the 200% additional boost on the Strength attribute, the Damage Deflection of the {Block} was now the same as the damage dealt from Zhang Yang's {Shield Bash}!

The Fish-Man instantly let out a series of miserable cries. Then it raised up its metallic trident and threw it straight at Zhang Yang. The trident smacked right in the middle of Zhang Yang's chest and left a large hole right in the middle of his armor and chest. '-18,123!' A damage value popped right on top of Zhang Yang's head and Zhang Yang was instantly afflicted by a negative effect that caused him to receive an additional 20% damage if he ever gets hit by the monster again.

Piercing type attacks were really intimidating!

Right after the trident was removed from Zhang Yang's chest, blood began to ooze out right from the wound. It seemed that Zhang Yang would have to look like a bloody walking fountain until the negative effect on him wears off.

Although the damage Zhang Yang received was not high, he visually looked as if he just got hit by a train. The scene was gory. Zhang Yang felt agitated about it. He commanded Felice and Phoenix pet and the three of them began to launch their attacks on the monster. The monster was greeted with intense series of attacks and its HP bar was reducing steeply.

Without activating his Inheritance Transformation, Zhang Yang could still deal over 450,000 damage per second with the support of the Felice and the Phoenix pet. It would only take approximately 10 seconds for the three of them to take out a total of 5,000,000 HP. However, right before the Fish-Man could be killed, it turned around and began to flee. The Fish-Man was crying out loud in misery, while running way from Zhang Yang. In just a blink of an eye, the monster had ran far from Zhang Yang!

However, it returned shortly after fleeing. Well, it came back with two more Fish-Men, this time!

When Felice had not acquired her Tree of Life form, Zhang Yang would have to be extra cautious when battling Elite Tier monsters. He would need to use his Skills that could stun the monsters that are trying to flee and kill them immediately. If he does not do that, he would not be able to disengage from his battle mode to take his Snacks.

Well, now that Felice had acquired her Tree of Life form, Zhang Yang had nothing to fear anymore. Felice went into her Tree of Life form and healed herself and Zhang Yang with her {Bloom of Life}. After she was done with that, she straightaway transformed into her Spectre Tiger form and attacked the monsters with her sharp and deadly claws. Well, she was dealing quite a number of damage to the monsters all by herself. If the number of monsters increases, Felice would just stop attacking and start healing instead. With her current full set of Holy Tier equipment and her 12 star rating, as long as no {Life Aura} is involved, Felice would have a more powerful Healing Capability than Han Ying Xue already!

No matter how many monsters appear, they would have to die!

Zhang Yang had no way of preventing the monsters from fleeing away. Furthermore, he would need to kite the monsters along with him if he ever wants to pursue a fleeing monster. Well, since the fleeing monsters would just drag more and more monsters back to Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang did not need to lure monsters over to him. All he needed to do was to keep on slaughtering the monsters that got in his face.

Monsters that would fleeing could really cause a headache of trouble to the players. Players would need to be extra cautious with their controls and the use of their Status Restriction Skills. If they fail to do so, they would end up being swarmed up by the monsters and die!

With Felice aiding him along his side, Zhang Yang would have the capability of enduring so many monsters' attacks at the same time. Furthermore, his own Defence was quite terrifyingly high, to begin with. So he had no fear even if he gets swarmed up by the monsters, all he had to do was to give it his all at slaughtering the monsters that he sees.

10 minutes later, the final Fish-Man fled away to summon its other comrades in the surroundings. However, the other Fish-Men had already been wiped out, so the Fish-Man came back to Zhang Yang all by its lonesome. Zhang Yang slaughtered the monster without putting in much effort.

After clearing out the Fish-Men in the entire area, Zhang Yang continued to explore the surroundings. He wandered around the area for quite a while when something happened. Just when the moonlight beamed down, the surface of the lake was disturbed by some force from beneath the surface of the lake. The ripples of the water spread across the surface of the water that had been still a moment ago. A gigantic shadow emerged on the surface of the water! The moonlight was a little dim at the moment. Zhang Yang could not see the appearance of the monster clearly. The scene was a bit terrifying. Zhang Yang could actually feel an intense chill right up his spine!

Could this be the Loch Ness Monster that the villagers were talking about?

Zhang Yang quickly hopped on the Phoenix pet and flew nearer to the monster with a pat on the Phoenix. He telepathically commanded the Phoenix pet to spit a breath of fire at the dark shadow.

Boom!

The shadow immediately got caught on fire. It did not take long before the entire shadow was burned down to the ground. The next thing that followed was an 'Aiyak!' across Zhang Yang's ears. The next thing after that 'Aiyak!' was the sound of something heavy falling straight into the water. Splash! It was a shadow of a human being that fell into the lake! Phoenix pet flew up close and salvage the human figure with its claws, like picking up a fish from the water before they went for the shore.

While they were by the shore, Phoenix pet loosened up its claws and dropped the human onto the sandy beach, not too softly. The human figure was crying in pain, due to the not so gentle landing.

[Alex, Blacksmith's Apprentice] (Normal, Humanoid)

Level: 165

HP: 104,680

Note: Although Alex is still an Apprentice, his talent in inventing is so astonishing that many experienced Blacksmiths are constantly amazed by his work. Some even felt ashamed of themselves!

This was a young man that seemed to be at the age of either 17 or 18. He was neither tall, nor short. He had black hair and a pair of quick eyes.

"So it was you who did all that! Haha!" Zhang Yang laughed. Then he continued to talk, "Let's go! Follow me back to the village and explain it to the chief!"

"Please don't do that!" Alex immediately begged Zhang Yang not to take him in, "I have my reasons for doing such a thing. Please don't let anyone else know about this! Please!"

'Ding! Alex has given you a quest. You can:

1. Decline and bring him back to the chief in the village by force.

2. Give up the initial quest and listen to Alex's explanation of why he has been doing this.'

Zhang Yang decisively gave up the initial quest. That quest would only reward him with a measly amount of Experience Points. He could just earn that amount of Experience Points back by slaying a few Elite Tier monsters. Although he might not get anything valuable from completing the new quest, at least he could still try out his luck.

"Alright then. Tell me the reason why you're doing this! If your reason is valid, then I shall accept your request!"

"Well, this is what it really is about!" Alex began to explain his reason for doing so. "I'm a person that loves to do some weird stuff! Not long before this, I made a submarine and went underneath the bottom of the lake. There, I entered the deepest part of the Guura Lake to investigate. By the end of it -- I encountered a terrifying, gigantic Loch Ness Monster!"

The young man revealed a shocked expression and stammered, "That, that, that monst… monster had eight chains locked on it. But when I saw, saw it, 5 of the chains were broken! When, when I went to look at it for the, the second time, the monster broke its 6th chain already!"

"Long ago, there was a legend in our village. A ferocious beast attacked the villages near our village. By the end of it, tens of warriors had joined hands in order to take down the beast. Well, they did manage to take down the beast in the end! However, that beast's skin is as tough as gold. There was no way that they could have slain the beast! So, the warriors chained the beast and sunk it down to the bottom of the Guura Lake!"

"I have always believed that it was just a legend. However, when I saw the beast with my own eyes, I realized that everything about the legend is true! Furthermore, the giant beast is about to break itself free from the chains! I knew that I needed to inform the villagers about the news. However, everyone thought I was pranking them! They even said that I was exaggerating things just to scare them!"

This young man was really a genius! He even made his own submarine! Zhang Yang quickly said, "Then why don't you just take the others to the beast you told me about with your submarine? Just show them where the trapped beast is, and they'll surely believe you after they see it with their own eyes, don't you think?"

"The submarine that I built is meant for only one person… furthermore, others will not know how to operate it! Well, they will never find the place as well! I'm the only one who knows where the beast is!" the young man mumbled.

If that beast is really half as powerful as this young man described it to be, that might be a Holy Tier boss!

Zhang Yang widened his eyes immediately and said, "Bring me to the beast!"

Before he could even finish his own words, he had already pulled Alex onto the back of Phoenix pet.

"No! It's not possible! That place can only be located with my submarine! I've put a mark on the radar of my submarine! If we're going by air, I cannot recognize where exactly the beast is!" Alex immediately shook his head.

"Then, go ahead with your submarine, and I'll follow! That should do the trick!" Zhang Yang took one look at the vast Guura lake and gave up on the notion to search for the monster all by himself.

"Oh!" Alex nodded. Then, he began to lead Zhang Yang to a place where rocks and corals were piling up high. Among the pile of rocks, there was bizarre-looking boat located in between them. Alex squeezed himself right into the bizarre-looking boat and closed the hatch over the boat. Then, bubbles began to foam up the water around the boat. The next thing happening was the boat beginning to submerge into the water of the lake.

Zhang Yang summoned his Mythical Turtle and hopped right onto its back. Then he also went underwater to follow Alex's bizarre-looking submarine.

Alex's 'Submarine' was actually not bad at all. There was a glass window right on top of the hatch, over the front! However, Zhang Yang could not help himself from look down on the mechanism of this 'toy' -- Alex needed to paddle in order for the entire submarine to work!

Alex was using all his force to step on the paddles, pushing the paddles to move the propellers on the back of the submarine to spin. By doing so, the submarine was able to get some propulsion. It did not take much to make the young man sweat like a pig!

Well, how long would he need to paddle then?!

Zhang Yang used his weapon to hook the submarine along with them. Then he let Mythical Turtle steer the direction of the submarine. Meanwhile, Alex only had to point Zhang Yang towards the correct direction with his finger through the glass window.

Even though they were moving much faster after that, they took more than an hour to reach some sort of a region underneath the bottom of the lake. Zhang Yang could see that there were eight gigantic pillars circling around an empty space down there. Each of the pillars was chained to a thick chain. However, 6 of them were broken. Only two remained intact, locked on a gigantic beast which was located right in the middle of the eight pillars!

It was a beast that looked like a turtle. However, there were seven solid pillars right on top of the surface of its back. Its neck was long with a monkey head on the end of it. The two ears looked like the ears of a pig! The ears were so large that they could cover the entire head of the beast like a plastic bag!

The beast had four legs. Its claws looked like the claws of a tiger. Furthermore, the tail of the beast looked like the tail of a scorpion. It was really tricky to tell what kind of beast was this!

[Aqua Monkey Moonkin] (Ethereal, Beast)

Level: 175

HP: 1,750,000,000

Defence: 11,030

Melee Attack: 76,201 – 116,201

Skills:

[Razor Tear: Gnaws into the target and causes 150% Melee Attack of Physical Damage to the target.

[Venom Tail Paralysis: Uses its venomous tail to pierce into the skin of its target and inject the venom into its target. Causes 20,000 Nature Damage to the target once in every 3 seconds.

Note: The Aqua Monkey Moonkin is an ancient creature that escaped from the Island in the Center of the Earth. You might stand a chance to acquire some clue about the whereabouts of the legendary Island in the Center of the Earth. The island is rumoured to have gold on every corner of it.

Ah well… so it was just an Ethereal Tier boss.

Zhang Yang sighed in grief. Well, Holy Tier bosses were the most common boss at the current stage of the game. The game even spawned a Celestial boss once to make the game more intense. So, what good could it bring, for Zhang Yang to encounter an Ethereal Tier boss.

He summoned Felice out, to get ready for battle. Unfortunately, Phoenix pet could not be summoned because they were in an underwater environment. Well, with Zhang Yang and Felice working as a team… it would be more than enough to take down the boss.

-- The normal attacks of the boss could deal an average damage of approximately 50,000 damage to Zhang Yang. However, Zhang Yang's enhanced {Block} could be activated once every 5 seconds to immunize himself from any sort of damage. Then, he should only be receiving about 15,000 damage from the boss. On the other hand, the Poison Effect could be omitted because it would not be able to be of much of an effect to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang's Defence was just too damn high, judging from a certain perspective. Therefore, the boss could only deal effective damage to Zhang Yang with its {Razor Tear}. The rate of the boss activating its {Razor Tear} would be the only unknown factor to Zhang Yang.

Under the circumstance that the boss would activate its {Razor Tear} once every 10 seconds, the boss would be able to deal additional 9,000 DPS to Zhang Yang. Therefore, the boss could deal a total of 25,000 DPS to Zhang Yang.

On the other hand, Felice could heal over 10,000 HP per second. That should be able to cripple the boss's damage output on Zhang Yang. Because of that, Zhang Yang could simply f*ck the boss up, even if he closes his eyes and goes straight into battle!

Chapter 758: Island in the Center of the Earth

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There was no need to even summon Han Ying Xue and the rest of the gang to aid in the battle at all. With Felice going all out on the boss, Zhang Yang could oppress the Ethereal Tier boss without even having to activate his God of War Inheritance Transformation!

Let's just f*ck that thing up without wasting another breath!

"Chi chi chi!" after being stabbed by Zhang Yang's {Spear of Obliteration} coming from afar, the Aqua Monkey let out a deafening screech. Then, it raised its claws and swung them at Zhang Yang.

{Block}!

Zhang Yang raised his shield up high and began to hack and slash at the boss as intensely as he could.

With Felice's current Healing Capability, Zhang Yang could stay at the frontlines, while attacking the boss for quite a while. Whenever Zhang Yang's HP bar reached a dangerous level, Felice could just transform into her Tree of Life form and heal Zhang Yang back up. Furthermore, Zhang Yang's total amount of HP had reached up to 1,300,000 HP. Therefore, Felice would also have many opportunities to focus her attacks on the boss.

However, Zhang Yang activated his {Shadow Clone} to shorten the time required to slay the boss. Furthermore, he also took down a bottle of [Amateur Power Potion (Grade 10 Transmutation)]. Therefore, Zhang Yang's damage output for the next two minutes was terrifying!

He could deal so much damage with his Skills especially his {Charge Up Strike} and his {God of War Devastation}! Those Skills would be really explosive when they were being used by Zhang Yang in a correct sequence! He could deal up to 1,600,000 damage with the Skills! Meanwhile, his 10 Shadow Clones could provide an additional 100% damage! That had really boosted Zhang Yang's high damage Skills up to the max! His damage output was just terrifying!

In just merely 10 minutes, the boss sunk lifelessly and died. The impact shoved the water into the surroundings, sending a watery shockwave out from the spot where the boss died. A few dazzling pieces of loot dropped right beside the corpse of the boss.

Alex was staring at Zhang Yang from the sidelines with his jaw dropped. That was supposed to be a legendary boss that could not be killed after many others had attempted. Those warriors in the past had all failed to kill it, after all. That was why they imprisoned the boss here until today! Just when the boss almost escaped to continue its onslaught on the villages around, it got killed by a stranger that came from nowhere?!

Could it be, that those warriors in the past were weak?

Although that Aqua Monkey was not a Holy Tier boss and did not drop any Holy Tier equipment, everyone on Zhang Yang's gang did not have many pieces if Holy Tier equipment at the moment. Therefore, a Level 170 Ethereal Tier equipment could still be very useful for any one of them.

Zhang Yang picked up the loots that the boss dropped and shoved them into his inventory.

There were two Ethereal Tier equipment, four Mythical Tier equipment and another piece of Map!

The Mythical Tier equipment was naturally ignored by Zhang Yang. However, the Ethereal Tier equipment was still worthwhile for Zhang Yang to have a look at them. If the equipment are Heavy Armor, then Zhang Yang could still switch them up with the non-Holy Tier equipment on him at the moment. Unfortunately, both of the Ethereal Tier equipment were not. One of them was a Leather Armor while the other was a Cloth Armor. So, he was forced to keep the equipment for Han Ying Xue and the rest of the gang.

After that, he turned his attention towards the Map.

[Treasure Map: Island in the Center of the Earth]

Description: Leads you to the Island in the Center of the Earth.

Note: According to legend, the Island in the Center of the Earth was once a land inhabited by the Dwarfs. The island is rumored to be filled with the wealth of the Dwarfs for over a few generations. However, the island sunk all of a sudden. The whereabouts of the island have remained a legend filled with secrets ever since. As long as you find the mysterious island, you shall be able to find the endless wealth that the Dwarfs left behind! So, what are you waiting for!

This Map could be minimized and maximized at will. When it is enlarged to a certain point, there a crescent-shaped island would appear on the map. The island was separated into three parts. Each part was marked with a skull icon. The three skull icons had different names. They were labeled as 'Stone Giant Rokuta', 'Frosty Chimera Marow', and 'Servant Guardian Tatashu'.

Zhang Yang could only presume that these were the names of the bosses on each of the marked island. However, the map did not show any indication about the Tier and the level of the bosses. Therefore, Zhang Yang had no way of knowing if the bosses were either Mythical Tier or Ethereal Tier, which were just lousy bosses, or the powerful Holy Tier bosses.

Judging by the Tier of the Aqua Monkey boss, these three bosses should at least be Ethereal Tier bosses! Furthermore, it would make no sense if every one of them were just Ethereal Tier. Because bosses that were guarding their respective regions would definitely be more powerful than that. They should be Holy Tier bosses, then!

Zhang Yang quickly contacted Han Ying Xue and the rest of his gang. He wanted them to get ready, so that the party could explore the Island in the Center of the Earth by tomorrow. Well, they might be able to farm something precious for the keeping.

It was about time to get off work. However, Zhang Yang suddenly received news from one of his private investigators. Liu Wei had disappeared!

Ever since Liu Wei was bailed out from the jail by Chong Xiu Hua, he had kept himself well-hidden. Even though people could still see him in the game, his real location remained unknown to everyone. Well, he also knew that Zhang Yang was never going to let him walk away intact, especially since now it was a good time for Zhang Yang to take him out. Liu Wei had no power nor money, currently. He could get toyed to death by his enemies anytime, anywhere! So he had to stay low and stay extra cautious!

Zhang Yang did have the notion of crippling him once and for all occur to him on more than one occasion. After all, Zhang Yang would never be at peace, knowing that his 'nemesis' is still at large. Therefore, he sent his private investigators to seek out Liu Wei's hideout. Currently, Liu Wei has done a very good job at covering his tracks. So, they could not get any information about his whereabouts at all.

Yesterday night, that investigator that Zhang Yang hired had finally found Liu Wei's hideout. However, he noticed that the place was empty on the next day. Judging from the mess in the surroundings of the place, Liu Wei seemed to have been taken away by force. There were signs and marks of a struggle all around the place.

Well, the Chinese had a saying. The greatest hermit will retreat into the noisiest fair. This Liu Wei had been staying secretly in a small bungalow by the urban area of Zhou Shu city.

According to the private investigator, Liu Wei was abducted in the middle of the night! However, who would do such a thing? Liu Wei did countless crimes back then. So it would be logical if he had countless enemies that wanted him dead. Furthermore, he used to have his Liu Family supporting his back, so no one had the balls to touch him at that time. Well, things were different for him now… so…

The first suspect that came into Zhang Yang's mind was One Sword Stroke.

Well, his wife was gang-raped by Liu Wei's hired muscles. Meanwhile, he was also 'castrated' by the hands of Liu Wei himself. That hatred was enough for him to murder Liu Wei over a thousand times. So, how would One Sword Stroke be able to sit his *ss off, while knowing Liu Wei had finally become vulnerable? The moment Liu Wei is dipped into sh*t, he would be the first to take note of that. He might even pay off the guards in jail to give Liu Wei a good rub in his anus!

However, he would not have thought that Liu Wei would be bailed out from jail by Chong Xiu Hua. That would definitely drive One Sword Stroke mad! Therefore, Zhang Yang would not feel it odd at all if One Sword Stroke is the one who abducted Liu Wei.

Well, nothing said could ease him under such circumstances now. So, Zhang Yang could only sit tight and wait for any updates on the news from his private investigator.

After a night's rest, Zhang Yang assembled his party members and head over to the Island in the Center of the Earth. Upon searching through the Rock Flatland for a while, they had finally arrived before a chilly pool. According to the Map that Zhang Yang acquired a while ago, that is the entrance to the Island in the Center of the Earth!

The ten of the looked at each other for a bit, then they dived into the pool.

After diving down for approximately 30 meters below the water surface, a large whirlpool suddenly appeared in the pool. Everyone was helpless against the suction as they were pulled into the whirlpool, one after another. In just a blink of an eye, they were forced down, hundreds of meters down beneath the surface of the water!

The strong current of force had even taken Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue off the backs of their pet mounts! All 10 of them were stirred around like wet cement in a mixer. They were all so sick that their dinners last night were about to reemerge!

Just as they were about to suffocate, they were pulled right into a cavern. However, their bodies were beginning to float towards the surface of the water. After everything before their eyes became bright, they emerged at the surface of the water like cannonballs!

Splash! Splash! Splash!

The ten of them were shot out of the bottom of the lake into the air above it, 10 meters from the surface. Then they fell back down, one after another.

At the same instant, they found themselves on an island. The sky was crimson red in colour. The smoke and dust in the surrounding were of the same colour as the sky. Meanwhile, they were falling into the lake that was not really big. However, the water of the lake was extremely hot. It was so hot that Zhang Yang and the gang felt as if they were about to be cooked!

Everyone quickly swam towards the shore. After getting out of the water, they felt much more relieved than they were in the now boiling water. However, the temperature and humidity of the surroundings was extremely high. They were sweating like pigs and it made them terribly uncomfortable.

Zhang Yang brought up the Map to check the direction that they needed to go. Then, he led the gang towards the location of the first boss, the Stone Giant Rokuta.

Even though this was an island, but technically speaking, this place looked more like a gigantic cavern. There was a live volcano spitting out flaming red lava. The red dust that filmed the entire sky and the surroundings was actually the volcanic ash.

Therefore, the place forbade players from flying. They could only glide over a short distance below a certain level. Of course, players with Class S and Class A Inheritance could still fly around freely after they activate their Inheritance Transformations. Well, they could still fly in any kind of environment.

"Rawgh!" A beast's intimidating roar echoed across the surroundings. Suddenly, a crimson red monster leapt over a pile of rocks and landed in front of Zhang Yang and the gang. The monster had the appearance of a wolf. Countless whiskers covered the beast's entire neck. Each of the whiskers was as long as 3 to 4 meters! They were like tentacles, wriggling about like they were alive!

[Tendril Crimson Wolf] (Elite, Beast)

Level: 175

HP: 1,000,000,000

Defence: 7,000

Melee Attack: 40,822 – 60,822

Skills:

[Soul Leash: Uses its tentacles on the targets. Tentacles will drill themselves into the body of the target. If the HP bar of the target is not at its full state within the next 3 seconds, the target will be controlled by the Tendril Crimson Wolf.

[Burning Aura: Causes 30,000 Fire Damage to all targets within the area of 40-meter radius once in every 3 seconds.

[Bite: Uses its sharp teeth to bite the target, causing 150% Melee Attack of Physical Damage to the target.

The moment after the wolf revealed itself, it charged at Daffodil Daydream who happened to be closest to it. However, Daffodil reacted at a god-like speed. Immediately, she activated her {Apparate} and appeared beside Zhang Yang. At the same time, she threw a {Fire Blast} right at the Tendril Crimson Wolf. By doing so, she managed to lure the monster over to Zhang Yang.

"What the f*ck!? How can this be an Elite Tier monster!? Look at its HP bar!" Fatty Han was in shock.

"The high the HP amount the better! Remember, we can get more Experience Points after killing it!" Endless Starlight widened his eyes and swung his hammer straight at the monster while charging at it.

The gang began to round up on the monster. Even though the attack of the monster was not really a threat to them, the monster's {Soul Leash} was just purely disgusting! Using its {Soul Leash} in conjunction with its {Burning Aura}, the gang needed Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart to constantly heal them in order to keep their HP bars full. Otherwise, people would begin to die eventually.

However, even if a player has a long *ss HP bar, he or she would still get killed, if he or she does not get support from the Healers in a battle. It took the gang less than 2 minutes before they brought the Tendril Crimson Wolf down to the ground. The monsters collapsed to the ground and died, of course. It was obvious that the Attack power of the entire party was oppressive.

Although this wolf did not drop any equipment upon its death, it still dropped an item.

[Soul Whisker] (Consumable)

Use: Attempts to gain control of your target. If the target cannot cancel or disperse this effect within 3 seconds, the target will be controlled for over 10 minutes. Meanwhile, there is no way that the target can break free from the control. If the target is Level 180 or higher, the target will have quite a high rate of resisting the control effect.

Uses remaining: 3/3

Required Level: 150

Well, this was a surprise. This item is actually quite handy, especially during a Team Battle. It could be used on someone very crucial on the enemy. Well, since everyone would be so busy dealing damage to their enemies, they might just fall for it. If this item is successfully used on someone, that someone would only stand there and let his or her enemies torture him or her!

"Haha! It's so fun! Hell yeah!" Wei Yan Er immediately felt excited. Then, she quickly shoved the [Soul Whisker] into her inventory. Then she began to gaze at Zhang Yang from head to toe.

"Little brat… if you ever dare to use that on me, I'll chase you out of my house!"

Chapter 759: Frosty Chimera Cub

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wei Yan Er's 'evil plot' was seen through by Zhang Yang. So, she could only growl at Zhang Yang and show her teeth at Zhang Yang, as if she wanted to bite him.

Zhang Yang laughed out loud and said, "Little brat, you don't have to be so fierce. Are you looking for a fight? Do you believe that I can defeat you without using my weapon? I can beat you with my shield!"

"I don't believe it!" Wei Yan Er immediately shook her head like she was hitting her head on a drum. Without wasting any more breath, she brought her hammer up in an instant.

Zhang Yang smiled and raised his shield up to block the little brat's attack. Then he said, "Starlight, you lead the party and carry on!"

"Roger!"

The other eight party members went ahead of them. They gave Zhang Yang and the Wei Yan Er their personal space to settle their 'score'.

"Oh yeah! You can't use your Phoenix pet! You also can't let Felice help you!" Wei Yan Er was not an idiot after all. She immediately shouted, "I won't take advantage of you either, don't worry! I'm not going to use my mount and my battle companion as well!"

This little brat was quite smart actually. It seems fair when both sides are not using their mounts and their battle companions. However, her Crimson Red Crow and her battle companion were totally out of their league if they were to battle with Phoenix and Felice head-on. If both of them do not use their mounts and battle companions, Zhang Yang would be the one who was having a disadvantage in the battle.

Zhang Yang did not take it seriously. So he said, "Alright!"

Boom!

The hammer landed solidly on the surface of Zhang Yang's shield. Sparks were pouring across the ground after the surfaces of the hammer and the shield clashed into each other. Instantly, the little brat received a damage of '-95,798!'. After that, Zhang Yang conveniently struck his shield back at Wei Yan Er and activated his {Shield Bash}. Another damage of '-95,798!' popped right on top of the little brat once again.

Zhang Yang's {Block} could be activated once every 5 seconds now. Meanwhile, each of his {Block} could trigger a Damage Deflection effect and present a {Shield Bash} as a free gift to his opponent who hits him. With Zhang Yang's current terrifying Strength attribute and Additional Damage, his basic attack had exceeded 100,000 damage! However, because the little brat also had a high Defence and Damage Absorption, Zhang Yang could only deal 95,000 effective damage to Wei Yan Er.

However, if that kind of damage is dealt on the little brat once in every 5 seconds, Zhang Yang's DPS would reach up to 38,000 damage! Even though that little brat's initial HP had reached over 520,000 HP, she could only take as much as 14 rounds of Damage Reflect and 14 {Shield Bashes} before she would be smashed to her death!

However, the fact that Zhang Yang said he would not use his weapon did not affect his Defence at all. So Zhang Yang would definitely not have any problem tanking against the little brat's attack for 70 seconds!

Therefore, Tanker would always be the worst enemy of the Physical-type players!

If Zhang Yang takes off his Shield before engaging into a battle with the little brat, then that little brat should still have little chance to win against Zhang Yang.

After the battle went on for half a minute, Wei Yan Er's HP bar had been reduced by 50%. The little brat suddenly lit a light bulb above her head. Even though she raised her hammer up high, she did not smash the hammer down at Zhang Yang.

"Hehe, noob tank. I'm not going to hit you. So let's see how you deflect damage back at me!" Wei Yan Er was filled with joy all of a sudden. "Your {Shield Bash} can only be activated if your {Block} is successful. So you're running out of options, right? Wahaha! I'm so brilliant!"

"You won't win either!"

"Humph! You said it yourself! 'Do you believe I can defeat you without using my weapon? I can beat you with my shield!'. So you said you wanted to defeat me! Not get into a tie with me! Noob tank! Come and hit me now! Haha!" Wei Yan Er laughed evilly.

This little brat!

Zhang Yang flicked a finger against the little brat's forehead and said, "Come on! Let's move!"

The two of them caught up with the rest of the gang. Wei Yan Er claimed that she managed to beat Zhang Yang's *ss up. She was grinning in pride when she was telling the others.

The gang did not encounter many monsters as they proceeded forth. However, each of the monsters were Elite Tier monsters that had over 1,000,000,000 HP. So the party had to put in quite some effort before they could slay one. Meanwhile, the monsters were basically chimeras. Either they had lion heads and bodies of wild boars, or they would just be a leopard with a snake tail. They looked so bizarre.

The size of the Island in the Center of the Earth did not look that big. However, the place was not as small as it looked, after walking across the island. Zhang Yang and his party spent 3 days on foot before they finally arrived at the resting ground of the first Stone Giant boss.

It was a 50-meter tall Stone Giant. Its entire body was covered in whips and vines that were red. It was lying on the ground having a good sleep. The breaths coming out from the nose was so strong that the sand and dust on the ground were stirred up, forming gentle vortexes as they spread out.

[Stone Giant Rokuta] (Ethereal, Elemental)

Level: 175

HP: 1,750,000,000

Defence: 20,000

Melee Attack: 75,903 – 115,903

Skills:

[Trample of War: Tramples the ground and causes 90,000 Physical Damage to all targets within the range of 40-meter radius.

[Thump: Strikes the target and causes 100% Melee Attack of Physical Damage to all targets within the range of 10-meter radius from the boss.

[Blow Away: Spits out a strong current of breath and blows the targets into the air.

Note: Rokuta has inherited the tradition of the Stone Giant's Glory. It won't wake up from its sleep if it doesn't get a 25-hour sleep.

"Boss! Allow me to do this!" Endless Starlight shouted in excitement. Then he charged towards the boss as the lead.

Well, this boss was merely an Ethereal Tier boss. Zhang Yang could have single-handedly taken care of the boss. Well, it would not actually matter who tank against the boss. So, Zhang Yang had no reason to fight over who should be the Tanker with Endless Starlight.

However, the DPS players were very excited about it. They were dealing damage to the boss like they were on steroids! Actually, every DPS players would love to OT once in a while. Only then they would actually prove their power as DPS players!

However, Zhang Yang was a violent DPS player himself. Furthermore, he could acquire additional Aggro as well. So, no one would be able to cause OT! Well, things would be different for Endless Starlight. Seriously speaking, he should be the real definition of a 'Tank'!

Therefore, everyone was attempting to find their confidence to causing OT. They were hitting the boss as hard as they could.

"What the f*ck! You guys are mean! Ease up… ahhhh… it's about to OT! Wu wu wu! NO! You're all really mean!" Endless Starlight began to complain. Everyone heard it and laughed out loud.

Actually, the boss was still quite ferocious in a sense. If the boss really switches its focus to players who were not a Tanker, the boss could deal an average of 96,000 damage to the players with one single attack. It would only take about 5 to 6 blows in order for the boss to take out a non-Tanker player. Furthermore, the boss's {Blow Away} could blow players up high into the sky and let the players enjoy the excitement of 'free fall'!

Even though the Skill itself could not deal any damage to the players, however, falling down to the ground from a very high place would definitely shatter a player's body to pieces if the player did not have a Flying Mount to glide and slow the fall.

Furthermore, the {Trample of War} is an AoE Skill. The boss could deal quite a number of damage to Zhang Yang and his party each time it activated its {Trample of War}. The Skill could pose quite a threat to the party.

However, the HP bar of the boss was a little too low to have survived the attacks of Zhang Yang and his party. The gang only took 3 minutes to crush the Stone Giant and forced the Stone Giant to collapse onto the ground and shatter into small pieces of rubbles across the ground. Upon its death, the boss dropped a few pieces of loot.

Although they were just some Ethereal Tier equipment, they were still Level 170 equipment. After all, Holy Tier equipment which were known to be the highest Tier in the current stage of the game. Meanwhile, how many players would have the luxury to have Holy Tier equipment on them, then? Zhang Yang only had 6 pieces of Holy Tier equipment with him. He would need a lot more pieces of Holy Tier equipment before he could acquire a full set of it.

Everyone quickly focused on distributing the equipment among the loots. After using the [Identifying Scrolls] to identify the equipment, they were able to equip the equipment straight away. It was extremely convenient for them.

After distributing the loots, the gang proceeded forward. They had encountered a lot more rare and bizarre-looking monsters, and earned a substantial amount of Experience Points upon slaying them all! The gang said that even if there was no boss in this area, the Experience Points that they could earn from slaying all those monsters would make the trip totally worthwhile.

Indeed, everyone in the current stage of the game was having a difficult time grinding. Well, it was not because the monsters were difficult to slay. It was because the players could not find a peaceful grinding spot where there would no one to snatch monsters in the area from them! Meanwhile, Zhang Yang and his gang were the only ones grinding at the Island in the Center of the Earth. All monsters in their surroundings were for them alone to slay. Of course, they would be filled with joy and excitement knowing that all the Experience Points would go to them alone.

Furthermore, the scenery on the island was bizarrely unique. The monsters had rare and bizarre appearances. Zhang Yang and the gang felt like they were venturing into another planet. Even when they were repeatedly slaying monsters, they were not bored at all. The trees and the flowers were really unique. Everyone could not get their minds back together while staring at those surroundings. They even switched on their video recording function of the game to record everything they saw. They intended to watch the footages back when they were old in the future.

The second boss was the 'Frosty Chimera Marow' which was located right on top of a high mountain. The path to the top of the mountain was a little rugged. However, there was no way that the gang could take another way around to reach the top. Apparently, this entire island had a 'one-way lane' pathway. The players could not travel in any way other than moving forward along the path.

After another 3 days of proceeding forward, the party had finally arrived before the boss. It was also an Ethereal Tier boss. Therefore, it could not pose much of a threat to Zhang Yang and his gang. However, the small little Frost Chimera that was sighted by the side of the boss had Zhang Yang and his gang widened their eyes a little.

[Frosty Chimera Cub] (Ethereal Tier Flying Battle Mount)

Level: 0

Note: Can be tamed.

An Ethereal Tier mount!

Zhang Yang, Hundred Shots and Fatty Han had already possessed a Legendary Tier pet. So naturally, they no longer had the desire to obtain any other pet mount, including the Ethereal Tier pet, of course. However, the remaining 7 members of the gang were staring at the little Frost Chimera while their eyes were all glittering with hope. Well, other than Wei Yan Er who had a Mythical Tier Crimson Red Crow, the rest of the gang only had Flying Mounts that were just Violet-Platinum Tier, Yellow-Gold Tier, or even Gray-Silver Tier!

Unfortunately for them, a Mount could be easily spotted. However, a Flying Mount would be extremely hard to spot. Those who could get a Flying Mount to fly in the sky should be very grateful!

Because Wei Yan Er already had a Crimson Red Crow, she wet her eyes and withdrew herself from the competition to see who gets the Ethereal Tier Flying Mount. Well, although a Mythical Tier Flying Mount could really enhance her abilities in the game, the others who only had Gray-Silver Tier and Yellow-Gold Tier Flying Mount were in greater need of upgrading their mounts. Therefore, the little brat could only squat on the ground and draw circles with her finger.

After killing the boss, this Ethereal Tier Flying Mount was obtained by Fantasy Sweetheart. This pretty face girl with a pair of huge boobs was bowing at the others, sending them quivering violently. Fatty Han and Endless Starlight were staring at her boobs as they drooled.

The pet leveled up pretty quickly. The main reason being that the monsters on the island gave more Experience Points after they die. Zhang Yang and his gang slew the monsters around the island for another two days. Then, they finally arrived at a castle that seemed to be built by the Dwarfs, judging from its design. This Frost Chimera had leveled up to Level 130. So, Fantasy Sweetheart could ride on it already.

This castle was the end of the entire Island in the Center of the Earth. The final boss - 'Servant Guardian Tatashu' and the Dwarfs' Treasures were located just in the castle.

Outwardly, the castle didn't seem much. It was only 3 floors tall. It was barely larger than a basketball court. However, everyone knew that the Dwarfs loved to dig deep and stay deep. Beneath all that, it had to be far larger.

The gang entered the castle, one after another. The interior of the castle was dark. Because the interior was an indoor environment, everyone was forcefully pushed down from their 'rides'. Other than Zhang Yang, Hundred Shots and Fatty Han, the others had hopped down from their mounts automatically.

Mythical Tier equipment already had extremely glittering Appearance Effect. Therefore, even though the surroundings were dim and dark, the 10 of them and their respective Battle Companions were like 20 super-sized walking candles. They could illuminate half a meter out around them.

Meanwhile, the Appearance Effect of Felice's equipment were the strongest!

-- the little lady currently had a full set of Level 170 Holy Tier equipment on her. So, it made perfect sense that no one among them could best her!

Chapter 760: Servant Guardian

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The two Phoenixes were not willing to stay idle either. Normally, they were just two giant birds radiating in a crimson red light. However, they were now two gigantic birds that were blazing hot. The two of them were like two great bonfires illuminating the surroundings of the entire area.

Initially, players who wanted to enter the castle had to purchase some [Torches] before they set foot on the place. However, the two blazing birds were illuminating the surroundings much better than having 100 [Torches] around!

Everyone laughed. With the two blazing phoenixes leading the way, the two giant birds were like two giant searchlights, shedding light into the surroundings. The gang need not worry about falling into a hole out of nowhere.

Although the Dwarfs loved to keep their secrets beneath the surface of the ground, Zhang Yang and his gang took a quick sweep across the 3 floors just to be safe. Well, the 3 floors were not that big. It would not take too much of their time for them to check on the 3 floors.

However, there was no sign of any treasure at all. There was not even a single monster in the vicinity. The only things they could find were dried corpses lying quietly around. Obviously, when the Island in the Center of the Earth sunk, the Dwarves were killed by the sudden deterioration of the environment. They did not even get the chance to react to the change before they died!

After inspecting the 3 floors, Zhang Yang and the gang decided to go further down to the floors beneath to explore.

The moment when they set foot on the first floor beneath the surface of the ground, they realized that the space of the floor was 100 times larger than the space of the floors above the ground! It looked as if there was an entirely secret tower beneath the surface of the ground, while the three floors on the surface of the ground were just decoratives on the tip of the entire tower!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Everyone was walking on top of the surface of the black rocks that pave the ground. Their boots and greaves knocked hard on the surface of the ground. The sounds of heavy footsteps echoed across the entire floor as they proceeded forward. It was a little strange and bizarre to be walking in the vast and yet quiet place. Everyone could feel the hairs on the back of their neck standing up. Boots that were made of clothes and leathers would not have made such a loud sound. Only the metallic greaves would cause such a loud sound while the players wearing them walked.

"Walk lightly! Come on!" Everyone turned their eyes towards Zhang Yang, Wei Yan Er and Endless Starlight. Their voices echoed into the surroundings and made the three of them feel a little nervous.

"Hehe!" Well Zhang Yang and Endless Starlight attempted to walk lighter. However, Wei Yan Er had always been acting like a gremlin. She continued on to stomp heavily onto the ground every time she put a step forward. Everyone was staring at her with annoyed faces.

Well, it is difficult to go against the anger of all. After noticing that everyone was looking at her in annoyance, she just stuck out her tongue and stopped what she was doing.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

"Yan Er!"

"Little brat!"

Everyone turned their heads over to Wei Yan Er and snapped at her in unison.

Wei Yan Er poured out her grievances through her pretty little face. She raised both of her hands up high and said, "It wasn't me!'

"If it's not you, then who is it?"

Everyone continued to press forward. Thud! Thud! Thud! The heavy footsteps were heard again.

"Yan Er --"

"Little brat, are you feeling itchy again? Do you want us to beat you up?"

"It really isn't me!" Wei Yan Er cried miserably, expressing that she was innocent. Furthermore, there were 3 of them wearing Heavy Armor. So why would everyone looked at her instead of the other two then?

"It's not Yan Er indeed. She's right beside me. The sound did not come from her!" Han Ying Xue tried to redress an injustice on the little brat. The little brat was baffled with gratitude. She rubbed her hands on Han Ying Xue's boobs, claiming that she's the best human in the entire world.

"Did you guys notice? There are 11 of us here, right now!" Daffodil Daydream suddenly spoke out with a shaky voice.

"Haha! How is that possible! You must be dizzy right now!" Endless Starlight laughed out loud, "Let's count and see! 1, 2, 3... 9, 10, 11! What the --"

Everyone got an intense chill up their spines. However, because the surroundings were too dark, the Appearance Effect of their equipment could only illuminate half a meter into the surroundings. They could not clearly see anything that was further than half a meter from them.

"I'll count one two three. Then everyone, take a step back at the same time!" Zhang Yang said in the party chat.

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

Everyone took a step backward at the same time. They saw a dark shadow standing at its same spot without taking a step back like they did. After about 1 or 2 seconds later, the dark shadow followed and took a step back as well. 'Thud!'. The heavy footstep was heard once again.

Well, the little brat was clean, after all. However, everyone was so terrified that their heads were numb. Could this be a ghost!?

Zhang Yang quickly summoned his Phoenix pet back to his side. The blazing flames of the Phoenix illuminated the entire place around the gang and the mysterious shadow had finally revealed its true identity.

The skin of that person was white, and the eyes of the person were white as well! When that person realized that Zhang Yang and his gang were staring straight at him, that person had also revealed two rows of white teeth. Because the eyes did not have pupils, everyone felt another intense chill straight up their spines.

"GHOST!" Wei Yan Er screamed in excitement. She immediately pulled her hammer out and smashed it straight into that person.

"Anglo' Basida!" that thing let out a strange voice. Suddenly, its both eyes shot out a beam of crimson red laser and hit the little brat.

'-56,892!'

Wei Yan Er immediately received a damage value.

After witnessing that solid hit on the little brat, everyone let out a breath and felt relieved immediately. Compared to a ghost, they were not afraid of a monster at all!

[Mechanical Servant] (Elite, Servant)

Level: 180

HP: 2,000,000,000

Defence: 20,000

Melee Attack: 43,649 – 63,649

Skills:

[Death Ray: Causes 60,000 Nature Damage to the target. Range: 30 meters.

[Mechanical Bomb: Throws bombs into the surrounding and detonate them immediately, causing 50,000 Fire Damage to all targets within the range of 30 meters.

Note: Mechanical Servants are built by the genius Dwarfs. Many years have come to pass and these Mechanical Servants have many parts broken in them. Even though they no longer perform like how they used to be, they are still very powerful in their own right.

After launching its first attack, the Mechanical Servant immediately fought back and threw bombs at Zhang Yang and the gang. The explosions of the bomb were flashy, and everyone received quite a lot of damage.

"Stinky metal monster! You've made my friends accuse me of doing something I didn't do! You're not the only one who knows how to throw bombs!" The little brat growled. Then, she also took out the Elemental Bombs from her inventory and threw them at the Mechanical Servant

Hundred Shots could not help to feel heartbroken. Well, each Elemental Bomb cost 10 gold pieces. Furthermore, Elemental Bombs were supposed to be used on multiple targets. It would only be a big waste to use one on a single monster.

"This Mechanical Servant has more HP than the other monsters out there!"

"Yea! Its skin is extra thick as well! Look at that amount of Defence!"

Everyone was hacking and slashing their weapons onto the monster as they complained. Indeed, an amount of 2,000,000,000 HP was actually more than the amount of HP of the two previous Ethereal Tier bosses! If it wasn't because of the Mechanical Servant's attack being rather lackluster, this fellow could be a boss by now! Well, it was exactly what the note said. Because many years had passed and too many parts in the Mechanical Servant are now broken, its attack power was nowhere near its prime. However, its Defence had remained stellar after all these years.

However, it was futile for the monster to have over 20,000 Defence as well. By using {Cripple Defence} and [Armor Piercing Potion, players could ignore over 70% of the monsters' Defence. Therefore, Zhang Yang and the gang only had to deal with the remaining 6,000 Defence of the Mechanical Servant. So, all they needed to do was to hit the monster with their basic attacks, and the monsters would be as good as dead, eventually.

The gang only took a few minutes to take down the Mechanical Servant. Upon its death, the Mechanical Servant dropped some loot onto the ground.

Wei Yan Er acted swiftly as usual. She picked up everything from the ground and went up to the gang with a small sized ball in her hand, "Look at what I found!"

[Mechanical Servant's Core Manipulator] (Consumable)

Use: Summons a Mechanical Servant to aid you in getting rid of your enemies! However, because the Core Manipulator is a little ancient, the Mechanical Servant can only be manipulated by you for over 10 minutes. After that, the Mechanical Servant will enter 'Free Mode' and attack any target that tries to get near it. You can only summon one Mechanical Servant at a time.

Require Level: 150

"This is interesting. We can use it to scare people during PvP!"

Wei Yan Er has always been a destructive little brat. So after hearing what Zhang Yang said, she quickly kept the [Mechanical Servant's Core Manipulator] as if she was afraid that the others would snatch it from her.

Not long after, another Mechanical Servant revealed itself from a dark corner of the floor and blended into Zhang Yang's gang. However, it failed to blend in because one Phoenix was tagging along the gang. Under the illumination of the giant blazing bird, the Mechanical Servant had nowhere to hide. So it could only accept the fate of being beaten up by Zhang Yang and gang.

However, not every Mechanical Servant would drop a [Mechanical Servant's Core Manipulator] upon their death. After clearing out the entire floor, the gang managed to salvage 7 of the [Mechanical Servant's Core Manipulators]! If each of the Mechanical Servant that is summoned with a [Mechanical Servant's Core Manipulator] could be as powerful as the Mechanical Servants they encountered, it could be said that Zhang Yang and his gang have earned a fortune!

Well, since there were 7 [Mechanical Servant's Core Manipulators, everyone felt the urge to 'spend' one to look at its effect. So they activated one of the 7 [Mechanical Servant's Core Manipulators]. However, after commanding the Mechanical Servant that they summoned to battle another ancient Mechanical Servant monster, it did not take long before it was smashed into pieces of junks. Everyone was extremely disappointed, to the point that they almost popped a vein.

The Attack power of the Mechanical Servant they summoned was similar to the Attack power of the Mechanical Servant monsters. However, the HP amount that it had was far too little. How could a Mechanical Servant be able to battle against players with merely 200,000 HP, then?

Alright. Since these [Mechanical Servant's Core Manipulators] had been given to them for free, Zhang Yang and his gang should not ask too much of it.

First floor, second floor, third floor… the gang continued to press forward, as they made their way deeper into the tower. Because the underground tower was truly vast and huge, Zhang Yang and the gang took almost half a day to clear one floor. Therefore, they finally arrived at the final floor of the castle on the sixth day.

That floor was totally different compared to the tens of floors above them. There was no sign of any monsters on that floor. Zhang Yang and his gang were not greeted by any monsters after walking around for over ten of minutes. It seemed that one boss would be more than enough for the gang to take on.

After some more walking, the gang had arrived at the end of the floor. They finally saw the final boss 'Servant Guardian Tatashu'.

This servant boss was so much larger than the rest of the Mechanical Servants that Zhang Yang and his gang encountered earlier. Furthermore, the boss was not humanoid. It was a gigantic three-headed Cerberus. The body mass of this boss was as tall as a two-floor building. The three dog heads of the boss were salivating profusely with lubricant and hydraulic fluids.

[Servant Guardian Tatashu] (Holy, Servant)

Level: 185

HP: 19,000,000,000

Defence: 30,000

Melee Attack: 149,398 – 209,398

Skills:

[Death Ray: Causes 180,000 Nature Damage to the target. Range: 50 meters.

[Mechanical Bomb: Throws bombs into the surroundings and detonates them immediately, causing 150,000 Fire Damage to all targets within the range of 50 meters.

[Servant Constitution: Recovers 1% HP every 30 seconds. The amount of HP Recovery will not be affected by any other effects.

Note: This is the King of Mechanical Servant. No matter how many years have passed, it was still loyally guarding the Treasure of the Dwarf.

Everyone did not charge into battle recklessly. Because everyone noticed that there were 20 Elite Tier Mechanical Servants standing right beside the boss! If there were only a few Mechanical Servants, Zhang Yang would not mind them at all. However, the combined power of 20 Mechanical Servants would be a little too overwhelming for Zhang Yang and his gang to take it head-on.

"Let's activate our Inheritance Transformations, then!" Zhang Yang said. Everything had gone down to the last step, that is to take down the boss and obtain the Treasure of the Dwarfs!

"Alright!"

Without wasting more time, everyone activated their Inheritance Transformations and entered their most powerful states.

Chapter 761: Book of Revelation: Chapter 5

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Boss! I'll lure the monsters!" Endless Starlight was giving a pass on luring the boss this time.

Zhang Yang laughed out loud and said, "If you can lure the aggro of the monsters around, try it and you'll know it!'

"Pui! Boss! How can you underestimate me that much!?" Endless Starlight was not willing to concede defeat.

However, as they were still having this conversation, Zhang Yang was already making his move. He charged towards the boss like a fearless general and attacked the boss with his scythe.

Servant Guardian Tatashu let out a bored cry. It was very hard to tell whether the boss was feeling bored or painful by just listening to its cry. Then, the boss swung its metallic claws straight at Zhang Yang. It shot out a beam of ray through all six of its eyes. The beam landed on Zhang Yang. Then the 20 Elite Tier monsters began to launch their attacks on Zhang Yang as well. They surrounded Zhang Yang the moment they moved near enough to Zhang Yang.

{Thunder Strike}!

Zhang Yang stomped both of his legs on the ground and instantly caused a heavy damage of 150,000 damage to each of the monsters within the effective range of his attack.

"What the hell, boss! You're cheating!" Endless Starlight screamed in a weird tone. Because they could not hop onto the back of their mounts in an indoor environment, Endless Starlight could not outrun the flying speed of Zhang Yang after Zhang Yang transformed. When he finally arrived by the side of the boss, Zhang Yang already gained approximately 7 to 8 seconds of headstart.

Zhang Yang laughed out loud. Then he began to raise his shield as he activated his {Block}. Even though some of the 20 Elite Tier monsters reached Zhang Yang first and some of them were just beginning to react to Zhang Yang, there were at least 3 to 4 of them already afflicted by Zhang Yang's Damage Deflection. The Damage Deflection caused more than 300,000 damage to each of the monsters!

Poor Endless Starlight. Because he was a Tanker as well, he also had the ability to acquire additional aggro by dealing damage to the monsters. Therefore, in order for him to catch up with Zhang Yang's aggro, Endless Starlight would have to deal more damage than Zhang Yang did! Meanwhile, Zhang Yang had managed to strike out with such a high damage output within such a short period of time. It would be extremely difficult for him to deal more damage than Zhang Yang could!

Furthermore, Zhang Yang would be activating his {Tribulation} the moment he has accumulated enough EP. By then, it would not be possible for Endless Starlight to pull the aggro of the monsters over to him anymore!

Fortunately, 100 seconds would be required to accumulate 10 EP. Therefore, Endless Starlight quickly took the opportunity to create aggro on the monsters and deal as much damage as he could on the monsters. He was attempting to lure a few monsters over to him at least, because he did not want to be laughed at again.

Upon activating the Inheritance Transformation, Zhang Yang's Defence power had increased up to 97,980 points. He could just simply ignore the attacks from the Elite Tier monsters without any Passive Damage Immunity and Damage Absorption! Meanwhile, he had also activated his {Surrogacy} on Endless Starlight. So the two of them had an equal amount of Defence as of now. With the both of them having a Defence of 97,980 points on each of them, they would be capable of tanking against so many monsters at the same time now!

Therefore, Zhang Yang said, "Focus on the boss! Endless Starlight and I will take care of the monsters! We'll lure them aside!"

Everyone nodded and turned their attention towards the boss. They began to deal as much damage as they could.

{Horizontal Sweep}, {Blast Wave}, {Thunder Strike}!

Even though Zhang Yang had not accumulated enough EP to activate his God of War Inheritance AoE Skill, Zhang Yang still had the AoE Skills of a Guardian to use on the monsters and the boss. He could still deal quite an amount of damage to the monsters around him every time he struck out. However, Zhang Yang threw all his single attacks on the boss only. By doing so, he managed to firmly fix the aggro of both the monsters and the boss on him.

Since the both of them were competing to snatch the aggro of the monsters and the boss, Endless Starlight did not use his {Provoke}. Instead, he was spamming his attacks and Skills to gain as much Aggro as possible from the monsters.

He was smart though. He was not blinded by his 'greed' to get the Aggro from all monsters. Instead, he was focusing on the few monsters that had weaker Aggro fixed on Zhang Yang. Because {Horizontal Sweep} was not a penetrative attack, it would be impossible for Zhang Yang to attack all 20 monsters at the same time. Because of that, not every monster would be afflicted by the Damage Deflection of Zhang Yang's {Block}. Therefore, the aggro values on the 20 monsters had their differences.

The intelligence of Endless Starlight paid him off well. Other than that, he was also a player with a Class B Inheritance. 30 seconds after the battle, he accumulated 30 EP. So, he immediately activated his {King Kong Claw} and dealt a damage amount 6 times of his Strength attribute to all monsters within the range of 30 meters. Upon 3 successful activations of the Skill, he finally managed to get the aggro of 7 monsters.

"Hahaha!" Endless Starlight was filled with joy and excitement. While he was laughing in joy, he blinked his eyes at Zhang Yang and said, "Boss! I got 7! 7! You see that!?"

Zhang Yang smiled. Currently, he only had 9 EP on him. Well, let's give that fellow a brief moment to show off.

100 seconds, 200 seconds, 300 seconds!

{Charge Up Strike}!

{God of War Devastation}!

Bam! 21 damage values of '4,830,000' popped up right on top of the boss and the 20 Elite Tier monsters. Instantly, Zhang Yang had snatched the Aggros of the monsters that Endless Starlight had lured back! Furthermore, {God of War Devastation} only consumed 20 EP. So Zhang Yang had 10 EP left to activate his {Tribulation}!

Instantly, the attacks of all monsters including the boss were deflected back at them!

Unfortunately for them, these monsters' attacks were only able to deal 1 Damage to Zhang Yang. Then their attacks were deflected back at them as well. What a tragedy.

However, Endless Starlight was suffering a more unfortunate fate than the monsters and the boss. He put so much effort in getting the Aggros of 7 Elite Tier monsters. However, his efforts were all for naught. Zhang Yang managed to snatch the Aggro of the 7 monsters back in an instance. Well, only god knows how long Endless Starlight would take to deal a 4,000,000 damage to catch up to Zhang Yang. Meanwhile, Zhang Yang was also dealing damage to the monsters at the same time. Furthermore, Zhang Yang also had the {Tribulation}'s ability to deflect damage back to the monsters that attacked him. The difference between Zhang Yang's Aggro and Endless Starlight's would only get bigger and bigger.

Well, the fiercest AoE attack was not Zhang Yang. In fact, it was Zhang Yang's Phoenix pet!

Even though the Phoenix's {Phoenix Transformation} was used during the process of clearing out the monsters, the Phoenix pet had improved up to Holy Tier at the moment. Each of the Phoenix's attacks could deal a basic damage of 170,000. Furthermore, that was an AoE attack! Whoever who tries to compete with the Phoenix pet in dealing AoE attacks should just sigh hard and forget about winning.

Meanwhile, even though both Hundred Shots and Fatty Han had a Legendary Tier pet of their own, the levels of their pets were restricted by their owner's level cap restrictions. Both of them were still stuck at Level 169 at the moment. They were still struggling hard to hit Level 170. Even though it was just one level away, Level 170 was when Legendary pet could ascend into a Holy Tier pet. After all, the attributes of the Legendary pets would increase by almost twofold when they could finally level up from Level 169 to level 170.

Therefore, the total damage dealt by the two pets was only a little higher than the damage dealt by Zhang Yang's Phoenix pet. That obviously showed how much difference 1 level could bring!

In just a brief moment, the few monsters with weaker Aggro turned their attention towards the Phoenix. Endless Starlight filled his cheeks with his tears as he activated his {Provoke} on the monsters, attempting to pull them back at him -- what the hell! Did he really perform that badly that he could not even match a bird?!

Without the Level Gap Suppression in the way and everyone basically having half a set of Holy Tier equipment, this Holy Tier boss was totally out of its league. It did not take long before the boss was slain and dropped tons of loot on the ground.

Upon the boss's death, a chest appeared right beside the dead body of the boss. Everyone turned around and cleared the remaining monsters which did not have much HP left on them as well. It did not take long before the gang slaughtered the monsters up. After everything was out of the way, the gang went back to look at the loot.

Han Ying Xue and Wei Yan Er were money-grubbers. So, it was natural that they would be the first to go up to the chest first and piledrive on the chest like two damn octopuses. So, Zhang Yang had to distribute the loot to the rest of his gang.

As a Holy Tier boss, Tatashu dropped some Holy Tier equipment alright. However, there was only two Holy Tier equipment. Because the gang managed to get a lot more when they took care of Angus, they complained for a bit. Well, after noticing that there was another chest by the dead body of the boss, the gang felt joyful once more.

Among the two Holy Tier equipment, one was a Heavy Armor Helmet and the other was a pair of Cloth Armor Boots. Other than that, the heavy armor was not one of the powerful Healing Armor Set for Holy Knights. So everyone was relieved.

[Ancient Mechanical Helmet] (Holy, Heavy Armor)

Defence: 640

Vitality: 16,803

Strength: 4,120

Agility: 1,750

{Level 6 Socket 1}

{Level 6 Socket 2}

Equip: Increases Maximum HP by 33,600 points.

Equip: Increases both Damage and Healing Efficiency by 10%.

Equip: When being hit, absorb 1,778 Damage.

Required Level: 180

Special: Reduces Required Level by 20 levels.

This helmet was taken by Zhang Yang naturally. Now, his Basic Attack ranged from 203,741 – 234,241 damage. Zhang Yang had finally broke through the damage cap of 200,000 damage. He became bullsh*tly powerful now!

On the other hand, the Cloth boots were claimed by Fantasy Sweetheart. Because of that, her attributes had increased by a few notches!

Other than that, the boss also dropped two pieces of Skill Point Crystals. Unfortunately, there was no sign of any Skill Book. However, regular Holy Tier bosses would only drop one Skill Point Crystal. Now that this boss dropped two pieces if it, everyone could accept that extra piece of Skill Point Crystal to be a substitute of another item that the boss should have dropped.

After distributing the loot, it was time to take a look at the chest.

Zhang Yang swung his leg at Han Ying Xue who was sticking herself on the chest. With a powerful swing of his leg, he forcefully kicked her off the chest. Then he said, "Time to open the chest, little brat!"

"Let me hug it for a while more!" Wei Yan Er's eyes were glittering with joy.

"If you're not opening it, I'm going to open it, now!"

"Wu wu wu!" Wei Yan Er pouted. She was expressing her dissatisfaction on the fact that she could no longer hug the chest. She tapped on the chest and said, "Don't blame me. It's noob tank who forced me to do this to you!"

Zhang Yang frowned intensely. It was just opening up a chest, not a dead body in real life. So should the little brat behave as if she was parting with someone forever?

However, the little brat turned around and she was all smiling again. After chanting for a moment, the chest was opened.

"Wa, noob tank! You've just hit the jackpot!" Wei Yan Er took out a book out of the chest and threw it over to Zhang Yang.

[Book of Revelation: Chapter 5] (Legendary, Unique)

Description: -

Use: Combines this item with [Book of Revelation: Chapter 4] and [Book of Revelation: Chapter 6] together.

Zhang Yang had already possessed the [Book of Revelation: Chapter 1-4]. With this [Book of Revelation: Chapter 5, he would be able to combine the first half of the entire [Book of Revelation] all together now. He also had Sun Xin Yu holding the book's Chapter 8 while he was holding the book's Chapter 10 with him at the moment. Therefore, he only needed to find and obtain the Chapter 6, Chapter 7 and Chapter 9 before he could collect all the Chapters to combine them into the one and only complete [Book of Revelation]!

"Quickly! See if there's still an additional effect after you combine them together!" Everyone was hustling Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang nodded. Then he combined the Chapter 5 with the Chapter 1-4. Unfortunately, the additional effect only increased the additional damage up to 25%. Other than that, the HP amount remained upon resurrection had been increased up to 50%. The cooldown for the book had been reduced to 6 hours as well. However, there were no signs of any new additional special effects.

However, that 5% increase in the additional damage dealt had really boosted the gang up. Even though Zhang Yang's gang only had 10 members, it would still be as if everyone taking a bottle of potion to increase their damage dealt by 50%. Furthermore, the effect stays forever.

"How can there be no equipment this time!?" Wei Yan Er took a deeper look in the chest and told the others. She was feeling disappointed. However, when her hands left the chest, she was holding a scroll and another metallic doll that was the size of her palm.

"Little brat, we have a Forbidden Scroll right here. So, what are you babbling about then?" Zhang Yang laughed.

[Forbidden Scroll: Thunderstorm] (Consumable)

Use: Activates a Thunderstorm upon all targets within the range of 10 Kilometers and causes immense damage to them. Reduces 10% HP of all targets in each second. If HP is less than 50,000, there would be a minimum deduction of 50,000 HP. If the HP is more than 200,000, then the deduction will reach up to 200,000 HP. Lasts for 30 seconds.

Required Level: 150

Chapter 762: Gold Tier Servant

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Because of that, the Lone Desert Smoke now had over 3 pieces of powerful AoE Forbidden Scrolls. Furthermore, they also had one Forbidden Scroll that could be used to restrict a single target. That being said, the Lone Desert Smoke now had over 4 pieces of Forbidden Scroll in total. Well, who in the world could have 4 Forbidden Scrolls in hand at the same time? That number would scare the daylights out of the other guilds. Some guilds might not even have gotten one Forbidden Scroll after joining the 'God's Miracle,' ever since it started!

Finally, it was time to turn their attention to the metallic doll.

[Servant: Guardian of the Earth] (Gold Tier)

Use: Summons a giant Guardian to fight for you. Lasts for 5 minutes. You can only summon one servant at a time. Summon any of the servants in your possession will cause this doll to enter a state of global cooldown. Cooldown: 15 minutes.

Required Level: 150

Bound upon pickup.

A Gold Tier Servant!

Compared to the Silver Tier Servant which had a cooldown of 30 minutes, players who have a Gold Tier Servant would be able to summon their servant once every 15 minutes. That would cover over 33% of the summon rate. It would be a good improvement for players. Unfortunately, the Attack power of the servant could not be improved, nor leveled up!

However, about 10 days in real time would be required to level up to 1 level. So as long as this Gold Tier Servant reaches Level 170, it could be used practically until it becomes Level 190 or Level 200 before players needed to discard it. So that should be half a year after today.

Because the item was bounded upon pickup, this servant could not be passed around for the other players to have fun with it. So after arguing for a while, this Gold Tier Servant had fallen into the hands of that destructive little brat Wei Yan Er. In other words, that servant had become the little brat's new toy.

She immediately summoned the Guardian of the Earth out in attempt to show off in front of the gang. However, when this servant was summoned out, it appeared as a mini version of the Servant Guardian Tatashu. The size of that Guardian of the Earth was just about the size of a pug, instead of a Cerberus. The little 'pug' would shake its three heads once in a while. Sometimes, it even tried to lower down its heads on the ground and yawn. The little thing looked absolutely adorable! It was totally different from its 'big brother' that was ferocious and terrifying to look at.

[Guardian of the Earth] (Gold Tier Servant)

Level: 180

HP: 648,760

Defence: 11,570

Melee Attack: 81,508 – 121,508

Skills:

[Triple Bites: Tears at the target continuously and causes 150% Melee Attack of Physical Damage to the target.

[Protect Master: Protects the master and absorb all damage the master receives over the next 10 seconds upon activating this Skill. The master will be immune from all sorts of Status Restriction Skills.

Bound.

Judging from the aspect of Attack, this Guardian of the Earth would be a little better than the Phoenix pet and the Red Dragon that Hundred Shots and Fatty Han had. However, if they judged it based on the fact that the Legendary Tier pets would automatically improve up to a whole new level when they hit Level 170, then this Gold Tier Servant would be way out of its league.

The Skill {Protect Master} was still considered very practical. It could be deemed as one of those Skills that granted players Invincibility. However, the HP amount of the Guardian of the Earth was quite limited. If the enemy target could deal more than 650,000 damage, the servant would die. By then, the 'Invincibility effect' would automatically disappear.

Furthermore, the Guardian of the Earth would not be affected by any Aura Skills. It could only keep its Attacks and HP amount at their initial basic amount. Well, that was awkward somehow.

However, Wei Yan Er was still very happy about getting a new Servant. She kept toying with the Servant and treated the Servant like her pet dog.

The boss had been defeated, and the chest had been looted clean. The gang tore their own Teleportation Scrolls and traveled back to the main city. Well, it had been more than 10 days ever since they set foot on the Island in the Center of the Earth. So, it was time for them to take a break from the hectic hack and slash sessions. Furthermore, it was almost the end of the year now. So, they would have many more things to handle.

Other than that, the second World Professional League Championship was just around the corner. This time, the location of the Championship would be at the sacred holiday location, Hawaii. The parties that would be eligible to take part in the Championship would be decided after the final two rounds of the Class S Professional League Championship.

Among the parties in the China Region, Lone Desert Smoke remained as the indisputable top party. Meanwhile, the second to fifth place would not be decided until the very end of the championship. The points of each party were so close. For instance, Crimson Rage and Imperial Sky had the same amount of points. Imperial Sky won the second place by the end of it because they managed to earn a hair-breadth of points from other methods.

Obviously, the results would always remain unknown until the very end of the competition.

Meanwhile, the Eternal Flame was performing outstandingly in the Class A Professional League Championship. They had become the unshakable champion in the Class A championship now. Therefore, they were definitely eligible to join the Class S Professional League Championship soon. Scholar Musou and Longrich teamed up together and performed astonishingly during the competition.

Zhang Yang put down the game helmet and he was ready to go home. Suddenly, he received an email. It was an email from the private investigator he hired. However, the email did not have any other news or information other than a link to a news website.

Upon clicking the link, the news webpage popped up. Zhang Yang had a quick read on the news and his face immediately turned white. Well, that was strange.

'... Two days ago, a male corpse was found by the canal of the city side. The police had identified the male victim as Liu Wei, age 27. He was known to be the first successor to the Liu Enterprise. During the 'Jian Zhou incident', Liu Wei was the only one who was not dragged down to the bottom of the ocean by the fall of his empire. According to a person related to the case, Liu Wei had vanished about ten days ago. When he was found, he was already a dead corpse. According to the police investigation information, Liu Wei had suffered a lot of torturing before he breathed out his last breath. The tremendous tortures could be deemed as the main reason he died. However, the reason for the murder remains unclear. The police will conduct further investigation on it."

Liu Wei, the big bastard that could potentially ruin Zhang Yang's life and legacy are dead?

Zhang Yang sunk into deep thoughts. Although the website posted a photo of the dead body, there was a white cloth covering that face. So there was no way of telling if this news was true, or if it was just a ruse to mislead Zhang Yang. However, the news also stated that Liu Wei had suffered a great deal of ordeal before he died. It would definitely be more than just a robbing or kidnaping for ransom. It was actually pretty obvious that the incident happened because of some hatred towards him.

Well, a lot of people wanted Liu Wei dead, after all. This bastard had done countless forms of crimes that even he lost count himself when his 'Empire' was still powerful and influential. Meanwhile, Zhang Yang only knew one person who would kidnap Liu Wei in the middle of the night and torture him over many nights. The only suspect would be One Sword Stroke.

Phew… that should be a good thing as well. Although Liu Wei was not dealt with by Zhang Yang's own hands, at least Liu Wei remains in history now. Even though it was safe to hire muscles and eyes to keep the ladies safe, it greatly inconvenienced them. From now on, no one has to worry about Liu Wei anymore!

Ring! The phone rang. Zhang Yang rejected the call. However, he heard one of his secretaries say, "Mr. Chong, two police officers want to see you now!"

Zhang Yang gave it some thoughts and said, "Alright, let them in!"

In just a while, the door was opened. A beautiful and tightly dressed secretary was escorting two police officers into his office. The policeman was probably in his 30s by the looks of it. His body was sturdy and muscular. He had a dark skin tone though. On the other hand, the other police officer was younger. She looked not bad herself. Her waist was quite small. Zhang Yang swept his eyes across and noticed that the girl also wore a thick make up on her face. She seemed arrogant. Well, she would unintentionally reveal her glamorous face from time to time.

"Mr. Chang, we're from the public security sub-bureau in Xiang Cheng District. My name is Zhao Zong Ping. And this is my partner, Zheng Li Yuan." The dark-face policeman introduced themselves to Zhang Yang. Then they flashed their IDs at Zhang Yang. However, that Zheng Li Yuan had no respect for Zhang Yang at all. Her nostrils were raised so high that Zhang Yang could see the nose sh*t in them. It was as if her status would fall for talking to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang forced and smile and said, "Come, have a seat."

The three of them sat down and Zhao Zong Ping went straight to the point, "Mr.Zhang, we're here to invite you over to the bureau in order to help us in a murder case. Please cooperate with us and our work!"

Murder case? Could it be Liu Wei's murder case then?

Zhang Yang frowned a little and said, "Well, you can just shoot the questions here, I'll answer them all!"

Slam! Zheng Li Yuan slammed the table and said, "We're telling you to go to the bureau! So just obey! You think this is some sort of market? Did you really think you have the right to negotiate?!"

Zhang Yang suddenly revealed a cold face at them and talked to Zhao Zhong Ping, "Excuse me, may I know I'm actually helping the case or if I am the suspect of the murder case, then?"

"Did you really think we don't know that you and Liu Wei had a history?" Zheng Li Yuan looked at Zhang Yang with disdain, "You must have underestimated our capability to investigate! So, just spit it out! Where did you keep Liu Wei imprisoned for the past 10 days and when did you murder him!?"

How did this b*tch even become eligible to become a policeman in the first place?

Zhang Yang glanced at the b*tch's butt and her round boobs. Well, he actually got some idea on how she could have succeeded in becoming a policeman by doing that. So Zhang Yang remained calm and said, "Based on this Officer Zheng's manner, I would have to decline to walk with you. If you do not have a warrant, please leave."

Zheng Li Yuan could not stand the sight of Zhang Yang's eyes and how he looked at her. Indeed, she could be where she is right now was all because of her body and her skills in bed. So what made her so qualified to look down upon other people then?

Well, she was also considered to be a 'luckless person' after all. She was able to pass the test to enter the public security system. Because she appeared pretty and her pants were loose, she managed to become a mistress of the previous Deputy Director of the bureau. She thought she could get promotions all the way to the top at first. However, that Deputy Director of the bureau appeared to have 'financial problems'. So, he ran away with his tails between his legs by the end of it.

However, even though the 'soldiers' would leave their barrack after a while, the barrack was built by steel and indestructible will. So as long as she stays, she would still stand a chance to become others' mistress and get her promotions. After that, she also seduced quite a number of leaders in the bureau. Well, she really had eyes for those who were 'special'. Or should we say that she was purely unlucky then? Whoever she goes in bed with would face a big problem, not long after. They were either detained, interrogated for committing something illegal, or they were transferred to another post. The worst one was one of them had a heart attack all of a sudden while racing cars!

She even did over 7 to eight times of abortions over the years. Even the doctors tried to talk her out of doing it again! However, she had no choice at all. The leadership of the bureau was changing a little too constantly. She had no choice but to do what she did best or she would not have survived in there.

This time around, however, the man that she was currently in bed with actually managed to become the Director of the Bureau! That was the main reason why she could behave so cockily. She could just show her arrogance to anyone she meets. Well, she thought she was above everybody else, now in such regards. Maybe she was just trying to vent out her dissatisfaction over the years.

Therefore, she only dared to look down upon Zhang Yang even though she knew that Zhang Yang was a CEO of a large public company. Deep in her heart, she believed that the rich would never be able to match the officers by the end of the day. So she could just let her 'man' pull some strings to make Zhang Yang dead if she wanted to.

She really could not stand how Zhang Yang was looking at her. So she instantly said, "What are you so cocky about! We're trying to be nice to you now! You better take the easy way out now, or we'll be forced to hurt you!"

"Officer Zheng!" Zhao Zhong Ping immediately stopped the b*tch from doing something really stupid. Everyone knew that the Silky Soft Holdings had great network connections with government officers. Anyone that Zhang Yang knew should be much more powerful than the 'dirty husband' of that b*tch. It would be wiser to stay away from trouble instead of stirring one up.

Well, that Deputy Zhou must be blind in this. This woman only had a pretty face. Other than that, she only had two chunks of meats and one hole for men to f*ck. He should just have some fun with this kind of brainless b*tch and throw her aside. Why would he spend so much effort in promoting her, then? This Deputy would definitely in deep sh*t one day for having this trouble-stirring b*tch by his side!

What the f*ck!

However, this b*tch really had quite an 'outstanding' *ss. It should be extremely satisfying to stick a d*ck into the hole! Zhao Zhong Ping immediately waved his eyes across the round butts of the b*tch. He could not help to have some thoughts in his head. Then he immediately kept his eyes away from the butts and turned to Zhang Yang. Then he said, "Mr. Zhang, I would like to apologize on behalf of Officer Zheng. Please do cooperate with us! With policemen and civilians cooperating with each other, we can create a harmonious society!"

As he was talking, he winked at Zheng Li Yuan, who was still blazing with rage.

Zheng Li Yuan was not really that stupid after all. She immediately got the message. Well, as long as they could get Zhang Yang to the police station, they would be able to do whatever they want to him. Well, this b*tch was the current 'Empress' in the entire bureau after all!
