Chapter 827: Tactical Retreat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

'Ding! The eighth wave of the demonic invasion is about to begin!'

The monsters from the eighth wave was a large number of Cerberuses. They were as huge as male lions! Their entire bodies were black. They were drooling from their slightly open mouths, where their white sharp teeth were revealed. They looked horrifically wretched and scary.

Cerberuses were known to be deadly to Spell-type players. Well, they were equipped with two extremely brutal and annoying Skills: {Mana Incineration}, {Spell Rebound}. Fortunately, these countless Cerberuses were mostly Normal Tier monsters. The Elite Tier Three-Headed Cerberuses were just the minority.

[Cerberus] (Normal, Demon)

Level: 235

HP: 303,390

Defence: 9,160

Melee Attack: 58,071 – 78,071

Skills:

[Mana Incineration: Reduces 30,000 MP of the target. Causes 60,000 Chaos Damage to the target as well.

[Spell Rebound: Interrupts the target's casting, causing the target to not able to use spell attacks.

The differences between the Elite Tier Cerberus and Normal Tier Cerberus were their HP amounts and their Attack powers. Naturally, the Elite Tier monsters would have higher HP and higher Attack power. They had the same Skillset as the Normal Tier Cerberus. Well, they had three heads, afterall. So, it would make sense, even if their Skills would cool down faster.

Truth be told, any monster would not be able to create too much of a threat to the players if they are alone -- of course, that would only apply under the circumstance of the number of players and the number of monsters being about the same. However, if all the different types of monsters from all eight waves appear in the same wave, under the circumstance that the number of all monster types would be reduced by one-eighth of their total numbers, the damage that they could deal on the players would definitely be much higher than the players could ever anticipate.

Well, even though the Cerberuses were the worst enemies of the spell-type players, they also had the same obvious weakness. They would not pose much of a threat to the Melee-type players. Players could just send their Warriors, Thieves and Hunters to the frontline while keeping their spell-type players at the rear.

The Tanks were at the frontlines to tank against the monsters, as usual. Countless Skills were spammed across the battlefield, causing a large wave of impact to the monsters right before the Tanks, causing a tremendous amount of damage to the monsters at the same time. Under the circumstances where no player activates their Inheritance Transformation, the Tanks were the toughest existence with the highest HP on the battlefield. Although their movement speed was extremely slow, however, with hundreds of Tanks lining up in a straight horizontal line that was pushing forward, they would basically become unstoppable!

Meanwhile, even though these monsters were not difficult to kill, their numbers were far more abundant than the number of monsters in the previous waves. It was true that the Cerberuses could not pose much threat to the Melee type players like they could to the Spell type players. However, they had the advantage in their numbers. Players might get overthrown by them if Healers could not heal up the players on the frontline. Just imagine this. Tens of Cerberuses biting one poor player at the same time. That player would die very easily!

Furthermore, the Spell type players would have to stay at the rear to prevent themselves from being torn apart by the sharp teeth of the Cerberuses. Because they were basically staying too far from the frontline -- well, it would be pointless for them to run all the way to the frontline as well. When the Healers are close enough to heal, they would be entering the effective range of the monsters' {Mana Incineration} and {Spell Rebound}. Not only would they not be able to heal, they would take tremendous amount of damage as well!

Not everyone is built from metal. Even if the player only receives 1 Damage each time they are hit, the HP of the player would deplete sooner or later without receiving any healing.

Under the concentrated attacks of the monsters, countless players were dying one after another. Even the Tanks were beginning to get destroyed, one after another. The players on board could not even get their legs to run before the Cerberuses tore them to bits and left them to die. Many players were forced to activate their Inheritance Transformations so that they could simply survive.

Based on everyone's knowledge, Inheritance Transformations should be retained until the final boss Demon Commander Isles arrives. Those who use their Inheritance Transformations now would become useless for the final battle! However, the situation was so dangerous that they had to activate their Inheritance Transformations to prevent themselves from dying. Upon seeing the endless attacks from the Cerberuses coming at them, they had no reason to retain their Inheritance Transformations anymore. Well, it was obvious that they would not have time to save or resurrect anyone on the battlefield currently. It would be a waste to not activate their Inheritance Transformations.

Players began to retreat back to the castle walls. They were relying on the NPC archers to provide them fire support. Some of them even used the NPCs as their human shields to tank against the attacks of the monsters. Well, since that they would be retreating back to the Main City after this wave, they might as well utilize the NPCs to aid them in battle. Without the players staying behind to support them, the NPCs would definitely be wiped out clean when the ninth wave arrives! They would not be able to block or delay the monsters by the ninth wave at all. Therefore, it would be wise for the players to use the NPCs to their own advantage to increase the survival of the players.

This was the worst battle so far. Countless players were dead. The number of remaining players was reduced from 12,000,000 to only 2,000,000. The losses were too great to be imagined!

The only good news out of the battle was that the players finally managed to wipe out the entire wave of the monsters.

However, even worst news came in later after the battle was over. The total remaining players by the East Gate, West Gate and South Gate that survived the onslaught of the Cerberuses was only 140,000!

Zhang Yang took a deep breath and said, "We're retreating back to the Main City now! We'll defend from there!"

"Roger!"

Well, the monsters would be invading from all 4 directions if they were to stay and defend in this castle. Even if Zhang Yang and his gang survive the onslaught of the ninth wave, the players at the other 3 gates would not survive. By then, the humongous demonic army would gush into the Main City immediately!

The system would decide whether a Main City falls or stands based on whether the king or queen of the Main City is still alive. But China Region was special. All eight Main Cities had been united by Queen Serena. Therefore, other than the White Jade Castle, the initial kings of the other 7 Main Cities had been taken over by Barons.

Therefore, it would be pointless even if Zhang Yang and his gang die trying to defend the gate. That would not be the key to claiming victory. The key to claiming victory would be by defending the life of Aimoson, the baron of the castle!

Actually, before Zhang Yang declared to retreat, the other players by the other three gates had made their move to retreat back to the Main City. Looking at the number of players remaining, it would be suicide to place 60,000 players in the castle against the demonic army of the ninth wave.

However, the other 3 gates only had about 140,000 players remaining while the north gate still had over 2,000,000 players remained. The players could not help but be shocked at the difference in the numbers.

Initially, the number of players were approximately the same on all four sites of the gates. Each gate had over 50,000,000 players. The total Attack power of the players on each site should be similar as well. Therefore, the only thing or person that could cause such difference would be the commander in charge!

Undoubtedly, the combined forces would be commanded by Mountain Mover for the remaining waves of the demonic invasion.

Actually, the commanders on the other sites were not up to standard, to be honest. They only managed to keep 140,000 players by the end of the eighth wave. So they had no authority whatsoever to voice out.

'Ding! The ninth wave of the demonic invasion is about to begin!'

Zhang Yang did not immediately get back to the Main City. Instead, he hopped onto his Phoenix pet and took a stroll across the battlefield that they were going to leave behind. Well, he wanted to at least know what they were going to go up against on the ninth wave. That should give them some ideas on how to get themselves ready for the coming wave.

However, he drew in a deep cold breath the moment he laid his eyes across the army that was flying towards the castle. They appeared like a bunch of clouds that covered the entire sky!

-- It was another wave of mother*ckers that knew how to fly!

[Bat Man] (Normal, Demon)

Level: 240

HP: 316,330

Defence: 9,520

Range Attack: 60,900 – 80,900

Skills:

[Fatal Toss: Causes 100% Ranged Attack in Physical Damage to the target. The target will have an additional 10% chance to receive Critical Damage upon being hit for the next 5 seconds.

The monsters only had one Skill equipped. That one Skill was enough to cause a hell lot of trouble for all the players.

The only good thing that came out of this was that there was no sign of any Elite Tier monsters. However, it was unfortunate that there was a boss in this wave.

[Bat Man Adeejah] (Holy, Demon)

Level: 240

HP: 2,400,000,000

Defence: 23330

Range Attack: 205,248 – 275,248

Skills:

[Blazing Blasting Toss: Causes 150% Range Attack of Physical Damage to the target. The target will then explode and cause 200,000 Fire Damage to all targets within the range of 10 meters from the explosion.

[Demonic Fusion: Fuses a Bat Man's soul and recover 10% HP. The fused monster will die immediately.

[Ultrasonic: Emits out a high frequency ultrasonic and causes 240,000 Physical Damage to all targets within the range of 40 meters.

Note: Adeejah is one of the leaders of the Bat Men. He's renowned for his skills in battle.

Before that, the players on each gate would only need to take on one boss. However, now that everyone was gathered at the Main City, the players had to face 4 bosses at the same time! However, Holy Tier bosses would just be as powerful as Holy Tier bosses should be. Well, the players could only kill the bosses after they clear out the monsters, because of the bosses' {Demonic Fusion}. However, the players could just send 4 of their best Tankers and kite the four bosses away from the monsters. Then, the bosses would no longer be able to bother the players while they focus on wiping out the monsters.

Zhang Yang immediately flew back to the Main City. That would be the last Defence of the players. Not only was the city occupied by all of the players, the place was also filled with Elite Tier NPCs as their defensive forces. Well, it was annoying to think about this. The Crimson Sky City was supposed to be one of the eight Main Cities in China Region, and this place would have a massive army of NPCs to defend the city. However, imminent dangers were just by their doorsteps, there was no sign of any massive army! There were only tens of thousands of NPCs in the castle!

"Even if the officials want the players to handle the battles, they should have at least make up a good story about this. They could just say that the army of the castle has marched into the lair of the demons or something!" Endless Starlight began to whine in misery.

"The worst part about it is that the king of this city used to be an Ascended Tier boss. And now? The baron of this city has become an Elite Tier NPC! Are the officials kidding?"

"You should be happy that the baron has not lost his mind and charged into battle, trying to kill the monsters himself. If the baron does that, we'll definitely lose the battle!"

Everyone was making fun out of their own misery. They began to laugh out loud. Well, they did not pay much hope on surviving the ninth wave anyway. So they did not even pay their minds on defeat the final boss on the tenth wave!

The sky was suddenly darkened. It was like countless dark clouds covering the entire sky above the Crimson Sky City.

Well, those were definitely not dark clouds though. They were all Bat Men! They were descending upon the castle as we speak!

These Bat Man immediately aimed their javelins at the players and threw them at the players. By the end of the javelins, there was a thick metal chain tied to it. With a powerful pull, the javelins immediately returned back to the monsters' hands.

"Stinky monsters! Come down and face me!" Wei Yan Er was a Melee-type player. Even if she had a weapon that could reach 2 meters, she would not be able to touch any of the monsters that were flying 10 meters above her!

After getting hit by a few javelins, she instantly got infuriated. So she grabbed on to one of the javelins that had embedded itself in her body. With a powerful pull, the Bat Man was instantly pulled right out of the sky by the little brat by force! After that, the little brat ended the life of that Bat Man with one single swing from her axe!

Because the number of the monsters were so abundant, no one was daring enough to risk using their Flying Mounts to fly in the sky. 99% of the players in the current stage of the game would be dead if hundreds of monsters attacked them at the same time in the middle of the sky.

Everyone made their way into the buildings around the area by using the terrain of the surroundings to their advantage. Well, they needed to lose themselves from the aggro of the monsters first before they could plan out their next move.

The battle for the new wave has begun, for real!

Chapter 828: Gate of Hell Activated!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang had contacted Snow Seeker, One Sword Stroke, and the others. They sent their own powerful Tankers and Healers over to handle the bosses. Zhang Yang did not contact Eternal Flame at all. Instead, he just sent two of his best Tankers, Endless Starlight and Ten Dusk.

Truth to be told, the bosses were not too difficult to handle. The might of these bosses would only become obvious when standing among players. Well, their AoE Skills were extremely powerful. However, once they are kited away from the players, they would not be able to cause much trouble to anyone. Well, their Attack power would be similar or slightly stronger than the Attack power of an Elite Tier monster.

Using the terrain of the surroundings to restrict the aggro range of the monsters, the players managed to force the Bat Men to descend to the ground, one after another. Well, the monsters had to be on the ground before they could launch a limited number of attacks on the players. It seemed that something good would come from having lesser players around as well. Well, if there are 20,000,000 players in the vicinity, there wouldn't be enough buildings to hide so many players.

However, even if that is the case, it would only reduce the number of casualties of the players by a tiny bit. Their players would not be able to slay the monsters without suffering any casualties. After all, even though the monsters were only coming down to the ground from the sky, it did not mean that they are not able to attack!

1,900,000! 1,800,000! 1,700,000!

The number of surviving players was getting lesser by the second. However, players who managed to stay alive up till this point would be considered as one of the best players in the entire China Region. Their power levels were impressive. As long as each of them could find themselves one Healer to pair up with them, they could definitely take on hundreds of monsters at the same time!

One hour later, the number of surviving players had been steeply reduced to 240,000!

"Should we activate out Inheritance Transformations now?"

"It's futile! With so many monsters surrounding us, it will not help us much, even after we activate our Inheritance Transformations!" Zhang Yang shook his head.

"How about using a Forbidden Scroll?"

Zhang Yang shook his head as well, then he said, "We still have one wave left after this! Furthermore, we only have 2 Forbidden Scrolls that can deal AoE damage. It's still too early to use them now!"

"But we're outnumbered now! We're about to lose!"

"Just a little longer! I'm activating my {Gate of Hell}!" Zhang Yang said. Then, he assigned the enhancement effect of his [Book of Revelation] on his {Gate of Hell}. Well, he would have to wait for 24 hours before he could assign that enhancement effect on his other Skills after that.

He threw his 'Gate of Hell' in one of the buildings and said, "Protect the 'Gate of Hell' from getting destroyed by the monsters!"

"You can count on me!" Fatty Han thumped his chest and voiced out in confidence. "I'll definitely protect the gate like the wives of my brothers!"

Zhang Yang charged out of the building and instantly became the target of the monsters in the sky and on the ground.

{God of War Shield} activated!

'-0!'

'-0!'

'-0!'

Countless javelins were thrown at Zhang Yang. However, none of them were able to deal a single damage to Zhang Yang! Upon activating his {God of War Shield}, the monsters would need to deal at least 95,000 damage before they could penetrate his basic Defence. Unfortunately, each of these monsters only could deal a maximum damage of 80,000 to their targets. They would have no definite way of penetrating Zhang Yang's basic Defence.

However, {Fatal Toss} would afflict players with a negative effect - an additional 10% rate of receiving a Critical Hit. Once the players receive a Critical Hit, even a Minimum Attack of 120,000 damage would be enough to penetrate Zhang Yang's Defence.

Although the 10% rate seemed to be insignificant, there were hundreds of monsters launching their attacks at Zhang Yang at the moment. Because of that, every single hit with additional 10% Critical Rate would cause quite a tremendous amount of damage to Zhang Yang. Therefore, he has to hustle up and get the job done.

{Horizontal Sweep}!

Zhang Yang dealt over a million damage to each of the monsters within the effective area of his Attack range. The remaining Bat Men were instantly killed and their souls were sucked into the 'Gate of Hell'. Instantly, tens of Elite Demons charged right out of the gate and joined into the battle to aid Zhang Yang!

Let eh slaughtering begin!

In order for the AoE attacks to cover the most area of the battlefield, Zhang Yang did not hop onto the Phoenix pet. Instead, he stayed on the ground, unleashing his {Thunder Strike} and his {Blast Wave}. He was spamming his Skills the moment the cooldowns were over with the intention of killing as many monsters as he could during the effective period of the 'Gate of Hell'.

10! 20! 100! 1,000!

The surroundings of the building where Zhang Yang stood beside has become the breeding ground of the demons! Although they were from the same root as the Bat Men, they were currently Zhang Yang's minions. Therefore, the demons were battling the Bat Men without showing them any quarter! However, the demons were Elite Tier, after all. So when their number reaches a certain level, they would become a deadly force that are not to be reckoned with.

Well, each of these Level 140 summoned demons had over 120,000,000 HP. Their current HP amount was as abundant as the HP amount of Sun Xin Yu after she activates her Inheritance Transformation. Each of their HP amount could be compared to the Maximum HP of each Model 4.0 Tank! Even if they were focus-fired by 100 monsters at the same instant, the demons could tank against the monsters' focused fire for more than 10 times!

Meanwhile, these 1,000 demons had reached the numbers where they were powerful enough to oppress the monsters in the vicinity!

Instantly, countless Bat Men were charging towards the 'Gate of Hell'. They were targeting the gate as their priority target, like moths trying to charge into the flames like their lives no longer mattered! It seemed that they were ready to sacrifice millions of monsters just to take down one of Zhang Yang's demon!

However, summoning the demons did not cost Zhang Yang a single dime. Meanwhile, because the demons could not leave the 'Gate of Hell' further than 1,000 meters, letting the moths get drawn to the flame would be a good thing. Actually, Zhang Yang was worried that he might not get a spot to stand within that area, when there are too many demons being summoned into the vicinity! So be it! Let the monsters come and kill one or two of his demons. Well, he could have killed the monsters much faster than the rate of demons being summoned to the battlefield. The number of his demons would only increase! It was constantly increasing from 2,000 to 5,000! Then from 5,000 to 30,000!

The number of the demons was still rising!

Everyone within the vicinity was stunned to witness what was going on! This Skill looked like a bug to them! With the ability to summon that amount of minions, Zhang Yang could have become capable of defeating a Celestial boss by the looks of it!

Unfortunately, that Skill only worked on the dumb monsters. Players could have just sent their Thieves in stealth mode and get the 'Gate of Hell' destroyed without a problem. However, looking at the tens of thousands of demons summoned from the gate, no one could deny that the Skill was indeed an oppressive existence in the game!

However, Zhang Yang had finally got the chance to verify a question he had long had in mind. He noticed that the gate could only summon 50,000 demons at its maximum. After that, even though when there were many more souls were sucked into the gate, no additional demon was coming out.

Well, do bear in mind that there was currently a total of 50,000 demons in the battlefield right now. They were all slaughtering the monsters for Zhang Yang and the players. Moreover, each of their HP amount was as abundant as the HP amount of a Model 4.0 Tank. They could serve as extremely powerful meat shields even if they could not attack!

Under the protection of the massive army of demons, the players quickly took the opportunity to strike back as hard as they could. They were slaughtering the monsters up hard in order to win the battle. Bit by bit, the players seemed to gain the upper hand over the monsters.

1 hour! 2 hours!

Finally, all of the Bat Men were wiped out! There were only 4 Holy Tier bosses remaining on the battlefield.

Without having any monsters left for them to recover their HPs, the four bosses were like venomous snakes who have just lost their poisonous deadly fangs. Without their deadliest weapons, they were defeated within a short period of time. Upon their death, they dropped an abundant amount of loot across the ground. Unfortunately, Zhang Yang and his other gang members were only able to snatch 7 of those [Lesser Demonic Pearls]. However, Eternal Flame was enraged, because three of the [Demonic Pearls] that Zhang Yang and his gang managed to snatch were the pearls that were dropped by the boss they were hitting.

However, the boss they hit would not necessarily be the boss they slay. Truth to be told, all of the players on the battlefield had contributed in such regard. Anyone on the battlefield would have been entitled to grab the loot! There was no saying that the loot belonged to someone specifically. Furthermore, the players were able to survive so long, because Zhang Yang had activated his {Gate of Hell}. Without the 50,000 demons tanking the monsters' attack, the players would have been wiped out entirely, within minutes! Slaying the bosses would only remain as a pipe dream!

Before the tenth wave of the demonic invasion could start, Zhang Yang quickly gathered Snow Seeker, One Sword Stroke and the other guildmasters from large guilds to come up with a tactical plan. So he said, "Everyone, listen up! The last wave of the demons are about to come! So it's not a good time to keep your tricks and secret weapons up in your sleeves anymore! You can just show me everything you've got now!"

Everyone kept silent. Therefore, Zhang Yang took out two Forbidden Scrolls and said, "These are two very powerful AoE Forbidden Scrolls. They're called the 'Forbidden Scroll: Eclipse' and the 'Reaper's Descent'!"

The guildmasters widened their eyes. Although a Forbidden Scroll was extremely powerful, the chance of coming across one would be extremely low to the point that it's pathetic! It seemed that Zhang Yang was willing to use two precious scrolls just to get through the war!

"Crimson Rage only has one at the moment!" Snow Seeker took out one Forbidden Scroll and passed it to Zhang Yang.

[Forbidden Scroll: Virulent Plague] (Consumable)

Use: Activates a plague across the battlefield. Causes a tremendous amount of damage to all enemy targets within the range of 10 kilometers. The targets will lose 10% HP in each passing second. If the HP of the target does not exceed 150,000 HP, then the target will lose a minimum amount of 150,000 HP. However, if the target has more than 300,000 HP, the target will lose a maximum amount of 300,000 HP. Lasts for 30 seconds.

Level Required: 200

"We, Imperial Sky will contribute one Forbidden Scroll as well!" One Sword Stroke took out a scroll and passed it to Zhang Yang as well.

"We, Rolling Rocks will contribute one Forbidden Scroll as well!"

"We, Sunset Amber will contribute one Forbidden Scroll as well!"

...

After making some calculations, the guildmasters managed to gather a total of 10 Forbidden Scrolls. Judging by that, everyone was able to see how 'resourceful' each guild was. Although Eternal Flame was deemed to be one of the four most powerful guilds in the entire China Region, they were not able to provide even one Forbidden Scroll. Because of that, Zhong Xiu Hua felt so embarrassed that he could not even show his face in front of the other guildmasters.

"Very good, if the monsters in the tenth wave are only Normal Tier monsters, we, Lone Desert Smoke, will use the first Forbidden Scroll on the approaching monsters. Then, the rest of you should decide who will be using their Forbidden Scrolls after us. If it's necessary, I'll use a second Forbidden Scroll!"

Although everyone was not willing to use their Forbidden Scrolls, who would be so shameless to let Zhang Yang use a second Forbidden Scroll, then? That would only make them look weak!

Upon rolling to decide the sequence of using the Forbidden Scrolls on the upcoming wave of the war, Zhang Yang said, "If the final wave has an army of Elite Tier monsters, then we shall throw all 10 scrolls out at the same time!"

"That'll be the only way, it seems…"

"Let's hope it won't come to that!"

"We'll let the gods decide!"

Fortunately, the summoned demons could survive up to 4 hours. Although the Gate of Hell had vanished, to 40,000 demons would still stick around for another 2 hours plus. They would be able to tank the attacks of the monsters in the tenth wave for the players, even if just for a bit.

'Ding! The tenth wave of the demonic invasion is about to begin!'

Players with Flying Mounts began to launch themselves up into the sky. They extended their sights far out at the horizon.

A loud and clear horn sound was heard. A large army of demons marched right up to the horizon. That would be the final wave of the demon army, the Death Emissaries!

[Death Emissary] (Elite, Demon)

Level: 245

HP: 12,250,000,000

Defence: 14,810

Melee Attack: 103,759 – 163,759

Skills:

[Death Strike: Causes 100% Melee Attack of Physical Damage to the target. There is a 1% chance to cause a fatal wound to the target, causing the target to lose 50% of his HP (Maximum HP lost will not exceed 500,000HP)

Note: Death Emissaries are the special guards of the Demon Commander Isles. They are extremely powerful.

Chapter 829: Annihilation!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The worst part about these monsters was not because they were Elite Tier, or because of their HP amount or their Attack power. It was their level!

Level 245!

Currently, there were only a few, maybe only more than 10 players who have managed to reach Level 215! Other than those players, the remaining players would be affected by the Level Gap Suppression effect of the game while they battle Level 245 monsters! Initially, there were only approximately 240,000 players remaining to fend off the last wave of the monsters. There would be tens of millions of monsters charging at them. Now that they would be restricted by the Level Gap Suppression of the game, it seemed that the players were going to be slaughtered, big time!

Meanwhile, the only good news about the current battle was that there would only be one wave of the monsters left. Previously, they had to engage 9 waves of endless hordes with merely enough time to get ready before the next wave comes. It would take more than just an hour to battle each of the waves! A while later, the system had finally revealed the number of players and the number of monsters to everyone.

238,793 VS 100,000

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The demonic army was surrounding the players from all directions. The broken walls of the city were no longer capable of stopping the advancement of those demons. Each of the demons was approximately 5 meters tall. They were red demons which held heavy swords in their hands. Well, here goes. The final battle has begun!

"Wait! Just wait! Just wait for a little longer!" Zhang Yang stopped the other guildmasters from opening up their Forbidden Scrolls. Although the effects of the Forbidden Scrolls could reach out to a range of 5-kilometer radius, the monsters were still very far away from the frontline. They would not be able to spread the effect of the Forbidden Scrolls to the demonic army completely.

The monsters were gushing into the main city like an unstoppable tidal wave. They were making their way towards the baron's castle. The approaching footsteps made the players even more nervous by the seconds!

The summoned demons immediately engaged in battle with the demonic army. Although the level of the summoned demons was 5 levels lower than the level of the monsters, however, they were still on the same level as the Level 240 monsters. Therefore, the power level on both sides was almost at the similar level. The only difference between the two sides was that the number of monsters was much more abundant than the summoned demons, though their abundant numbers would pretty much, not be able to overwhelm the summoned demons. The situation of the battle was totally one-sided. Many summoned demons were slain within 5 minutes!

"Now's the time!"

Zhang Yang descended to the ground and nodded at Snow Seeker and the other guildmasters. The he said, "Let's begin!"

He tore his scroll before the others. [Forbidden Scroll: Eclipse] activated!

The scroll was initially dropped by the Ascended Tier boss Mathuven. Because Mathuven was only a Level 185 boss, the effect of the Forbidden Scroll was quite limited in terms of 'impact'. In other words, the impact and effects of the scroll were weaker. Although all Forbidden Scroll could reduce 10% HP of all targets every passing second, they would still have a limited boundary. For instance, the [Forbidden Scroll: Eclipse] could only deal 50,000 damage at least, and 200,000 damage at most.

However, he also had the other Forbidden Scroll 'Reaper's Descent', dropped by the Celestial boss Angus, which is able to deal a minimum damage of 150,000 and a maximum damage of 300,000! After tearing his [Forbidden Scroll: Eclipse, Zhang Yang tore his [Forbidden Scroll: Reaper's Descent] as well.

Snow Seekers and the other quickly followed what he did. They also tore their Forbidden Scrolls! It did not take long before all 10 Forbidden Scroll Effects started to take effect at the same time!

Instantly, the sky was shrouded in dark clouds and rumbling thunders. The lightning bolts were flashing violently as the entire area became bizarrely unfamiliar! Moonlight, frosty snows, boiling rocks had messed up the scenery of the entire area! Everything just went to hell all of a sudden!

The Forbidden Scrolls were destructive as f*ck, indeed. They could cause so much destruction to all targets within the area of 5-kilometer radius, reducing 10% HP of all targets in each second, bypassing their Defence! Furthermore, the effects would last for 30 seconds! No Skill could ever match those effects! However, the weakness of these effects were actually obvious. Their maximum damage and minimum damage were limited. Even with the current strongest Forbidden Scroll, the user could only deal a maximum damage of 300,000 to all targets every second. In 30 seconds, the strongest scroll could deal a total of 9,000,000 maximum damage to each target within its effective range. An Elite Tier monster with 100,000,000 HP would not feel that much!

However, even though one Forbidden Scroll cannot deal much damage to Elite Tier monsters, having 10 Forbidden Scrolls activated at the same time would definitely cause a horrific amount of damage!

Although the Maximum and Minimum damage each Forbidden Scroll differed, 10 scrolls could still deal a total damage of 2,550,000 in each passing second!

That was an extremely horrifying amount of damage for the players to look at. Those scrolls did not just cause that amount of damage to one Elite Tier monster but 10,000 of them! Upon hearing countless screams from the monsters, every single one of the demonic army had lost over 76,500,000 HP over the past 30 seconds!

Each Death Emissary only had a total of 122,500,000 HP after all. They had lost over half of their HP over a short period of time! If the players could spare 5 to 6 more Forbidden Scrolls to give those monsters hell one more time, those monsters would have been completely wiped out!

Unfortunately, the players had run out of Forbidden Scrolls.

Meanwhile, the innocent ones were caught in between the crossfire as well -- Zhang Yang's army of summoned demons!

Although they seemed to be Zhang Yang's underlings, they would only be treated as mercenaries in the game. For the other players, they were just Yellow-named monsters that appeared to be neutral. Even though they would not attack the players automatically, they would be attacked by the players' AoE attacks.

Other than Zhang Yang's two Forbidden Scrolls, the scrolls that the others unleashed had caused a tremendous amount of damage to them. Fortunately, the Forbidden Scrolls would not get the aggro of the monsters to the players who used them. Or else, Snow Seekers and the other guildmasters would have become the targets of the massive army of Elite Tier monsters!

Although the demonic army was heavily wounded, the players would have to finish the job.

"You degrading species! Submit to us and tremble underneath the feet of our master, our king!"

The Death Emissaries were slashing their weapons around while they were shouting. They were shouting as if they were singing a battle song in an attempt to raise their morale and dignity!

"Kill!"

The players were not willing to show any sign of weakness. They were so into the battle, as if they were willing to throw in their dowries and the expenses for their own coffins! If they could not fend off the final wave of the war, everything that they have done for the past 9 waves would have been for nothing! Although the number of Elite Tier monsters had reached up to 10,000 in the final wave, the monsters were all close to death already. They only had approximately 37% HP remaining, on each of them! That would be equal to only approximately 37,000 full HP bar monsters on the battlefield!

Well, time was crucial, and none of the players had the intention to keep anything else up their own sleeves. So they began to activate their Inheritance Transformations.

The slaughtering continued on!

After activating their Inheritance Transformations, the players had gotten a great boost in their HP and their Attack power. Unfortunately, many players had not reached Level 215 yet. The b*tchy Level Gap Suppression effect had caused them to deal much lower damage than they theoretically could. Meanwhile, the damage they received from the monsters had increased tremendously.

Zhang Yang gave it some thoughts and said, "Fatty, Hundred Shots, let's activate the Transformation Skills of our pet as well! Let the others reserve their Inheritance Transformations for the moment. We'll be battling the boss soon!"

"Roger!"

Two Phoenixes and one Red Dragon activated their Transformation Skills. The three pets received a tremendous boost in their sizes. Upon roaring out loud, the three legendary pets picked up Zhang Yang, Fatty Han and Hundred Shots before they soared into the sky. After that, they charged into the battlefield to start slaughtering the monsters!

Well, these three legendary pets' normal attacks were basically AoE attacks. Victory would depend on them now.

The three legendary pets had begun to spit their flames towards the monsters as they were still flying in the sky. The range of their attacks had been increased from 15 meters to 30 meters after they activate their Transformation Skills. Even though the pets were dealing Melee Attacks on their targets, they had already spat out their attacks at their targets while they were still in the sky. Even though it seemed safe for them to do so, that had also greatly reduced the attack coverage of the pets!

Zhang Yang was the first to land on the ground. Without showing any mercy at all, Zhang Yang's Phoenix pet had caused 700,000 Fire Damage to all monsters within a conical area of 30-meter. Fatty Han and Hundred Shots landed right after Zhang Yang. Commanding their pets to attack as aggressively as possible, the projectiles crossed paths.

Injuring all of a man's fingers is not as effective as chopping off one. Even though the 10,000 Elite Tier monsters were heavily wounded earlier on, their Attack power was not affected as long as they are not dead. Therefore, Zhang Yang and his two brother-in-arms had commanded their pets to focus their attacks on a smaller part of the monsters as aggressively as they could.

Right behind them was the bunch of summoned demons of 30,000. They were protecting Zhang Yang, Fatty Han and Hundred Shots's back to prevent the three of them from getting flanked by the monsters.

The initial HP of each pet had reached over 3,330,000 HP. With {Vitality Aura} and Transformation Skills in effect currently, the HP for each of them had reached over 90,000,000 HP now! The three of them were not standing next to each other, though. Because of that, they had managed to reduce the stacking of AoE attacks that come at them. Meanwhile, Han Ying Xue and the other Healers were maintaining the HP bars of the others while staying in the middle of the sky. Although the rate of losing HP was faster than the rate of healing, Zhang Yang and the two brothers-in-arms would still be able to hang on for another 1 to 2 minutes against the monsters. Well, they could just get into the sky to avoid being attacked by the monsters. After getting healed back to their full HP, they could just get back into the battle to get the job done!

In just 40 seconds, Zhang Yang and the gang managed to kill over 200 monsters with the deadly attacks of the pets. However, killing the 200 monsters was like taking out a spoon of water from a pot, the missing part of the water was instantly filled back by the surrounding water.

Zhang Yang threw his {Surrogacy} onto Hundred Shots, sharing the same amount of Defence power he had with Hundred Shots. By doing so, Hundred Shots should be able to hold on for a little longer than he can in the first place.

A while later, Fatty Han flew up to the sky. Well, his HP was no longer in the safe zone. He had to get into the sky to get healed up.

Because Hundred Shots currently had the same amount of Defence as Zhang Yang, he managed to hang on in the battle much longer than Fatty Han could. He managed to hold on for over 3 minutes before he was forced to fly up into the sky. Meanwhile, Zhang Yang managed to hold on for over 8 minutes because he activated his {God of War Radiance} to fully recover his HP bar once.

The three legendary pets were attacking the monsters with insanely powerful Attack power. Averagely, the pets could kill 5 monsters each second. Theoretically speaking, the pets would be able to kill over 36,000 monsters within the entire duration of their Transformation Skills. Therefore, the players would have to be responsible for wiping out the remaining 64,000 monsters, then.

Fortunately, the players had the support of Zhang Yang's army of summoned demons.

The 30,000 demons were not as many as the number of monsters on the demonic army side, however, because they had received lesser damage because they were not affected by the effective power of two Forbidden Scrolls. In other words, the summoned demons would have an additional 15,000,000 HP. Furthermore, there were quite a number of buildings within the interior area of the main city. The summoned demons were not able to leave further than 1,000 meters from the gate. Although Zhang Yang could not command the summoned demons at will, the demons had formed a formation where they were standing extremely close to each another. By doing so, they should be able to make up for the shortage in numbers.

Because most of the players were affected by the Level Gap Suppression effect of the game, the Attack power of the summoned demons had become one of the main Attack power sources. Meanwhile, the battle must be concluded within 2 hours. Or else, when the summoned demons are forced to go back to hell, the players would have to raise their hands up and surrender.

The battle was worsening in every passing second!

Although the players had the summoned demons to shield them from most of the harm, however, the AoE attacks of the players would hurt the demons as well! By the end of it, the players who indirectly attack the demons too much would earn the aggro of the demons. By then, those players would be hunted by the summoned demons and get killed by them instead!

The casualties of the Death Emissaries were extremely high. However, the players were suffering even more casualties. The effect of the Level Gap Suppression had made the players vulnerable to getting beaten up by the Ascended Tier boss! Their numbers were reducing steeply by the seconds!

150,000 VS 90,000!

120,000 VS 70,000!

90,000 VS 50,000!

20,000 VS 30,000!

5,000 VS 10,000!

67 VS 102!

Two hours later, only 67 players remained on the battlefield. Meanwhile, the summoned demons had also suffered a high number of casualties! For the demons that survived, it was mainly because they had run out of range and were teleported back to the location of the gate. Fortunately, there were only 102 Death Emissaries remaining on the battlefield. Not to mention, they were barely alive!

However, just as the situation seemed to take a turn for the best --

'Ding! Demon Commander Isles has joined the battle!'

Chapter 830: Demon Commander Isles

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Right in the middle of the sky, a gigantic four-winged demonic bat was flapping its four wings as it was making its way down to the battlefield. There was a demon with a gigantic axe riding on the back of the weird and bizarre looking bat. The demon had a pair of horns on its head, a pair of wings on its back and a long powerful tail trailing behind his back.

[The Demon Commander Isles] (Ascended, Demon)

Level: 245

HP: 12,250,000,000

Defence: 37,330

Attack Power: 370,948 – 450,948

Skills:

[Sky Slicer: Consecutively slashes the target, dealing 100% Basic Melee Attack. The monster will gain 100% additional damage for every passing second after that. Lasts for 10 seconds. Can be interrupted.

[Storm Blades: Afflict all targets within the range of 300 meters with {Force Strike}, causing 100% Melee Attack of Physical Damage to all targets. Lasts for 30 seconds

[Demonic Domain: Putrefies an area of 10X10 meters. All players who stay in the area for more than 3 seconds will be controlled by the boss until the battle ends or when the players are killed. The amount of damage dealt by the controlled players will all turn into Isles's HP.

[Star Fall: Summons meteors and sends them down on an area of 10 X 10 meters, causing 450,000 Fire Damage to all targets within that area.

[Demonic Fusion: Fuses with any demon's soul and recovers 10% HP. Meanwhile, the fused demon will die immediately.

[Despairing Point: Imprisons one player. The player will not be able to move at all. However, the player will not receive any damage as well.

[No Escape: Players will acquire this Negative Effect the moment they get 300 meters close to Isles. Players with this effect will die instantly regardless of HP remaining the moment the players get more than 300 meters away from the boss.

Note: Isles is the powerful commander of Demon Lord Kenzack. He's renowned for his bravery and his thirst for battle. He has no fear of death!

"Doesn't he has his own wings? Why can't he just fly on his own, then? Why does he want to ride on the back of a poor ugly bat?" Wei Yan Er had always had a different ways of seeing things as they were.

Zhang Yang laughed out loud and said, "He's just like someone I know. Well, she has two legs but she just wants to ride on her mount, though!"

"Humph! What a douchebag! I shall chop his head off for being such a douche!" Wei Yan Er began to act for justice.

The moment the Transformation Skills of the Phoenixes were over, Zhang Yang quickly activated his Inheritance Transformation. Two translucent wings appeared on his back. After flapping those radiating wings, he flew straight at Isles and said, "I'll delay the boss while you guys take out the remaining monsters as soon as you can!"

The HP bar of Isle was just too freaking long. One successful fusion with a demon's soul would heal Isles by over 1,200,000,000 HP! That would be insane!

"Roger!"

Currently, there were only 67 players remaining on the battlefield. It was really pathetic somehow… Meanwhile, the NPC soldiers were wiped out entirely. As for the baron of the city, he was holed up in the deepest part of the city like a coward. In other words, there were only 67 players left to take on the boss now!

The Graveyard had been shifted to another place, momentarily. The Teleportation Circle of the city was currently on lockdown. Meanwhile, the system had forbidden anyone to enter or leave the Crimson Sky City as well. The players would not be able to get any sort of reinforcements, now. Meanwhile, the situation had only turned worst. Right after Isles's roar, the remaining monsters began to crowd around to him. Because of that, everyone had entered the attack range of the boss.

Although the boss would only use his {Sky Slicer} on the main Tank, the other Skills of the boss such as {Storm Blades}, {Demonic Domain} and {Star Fall} could potentially reach 300 meters. That being said, everyone left in the vicinity would need to take the aggressive attacks of the boss head-on!

Players who had not activated their Inheritance Transformations quickly activated theirs without even a single hesitation. Meanwhile, the players who had already activated their Inheritance Transformations and the duration of the transformation had ended, quickly took out their Tanks. After getting on board of the Tanks, they turned themselves into one single unit to tank against the insane attacks of the boss.

Because of the {Demonic Fusion}, everyone focused their attacks on the monsters first.

Well, the remaining 67 players were definitely the elites among the elites in the entire China Region. There was no longer anyone in China Region who would be more powerful than they are. Even though most of them were afflicted by the effect of the Level Gap Suppression, their Attack power was still powerful as f*ck!

"Nothing shall stand in our way! Nothing!" Isles let out a thunderous roar as he raised his axe high up. With powerful swing straight down onto Zhang Yang, the boss activated one of his deadly Skills immediately!

{Sky Slicer}!

That was an extremely power Skill that consecutively slashes the target at a very high pace! The first slash would only deal 100% Melee Attack of Physical Damage. However, each consecutive slash would gain another additional 100% Melee Attack of Physical Damage. By the end of it, the boss would be able to deal a damage 10 times stronger than the damage of his first slash. Isles's average Basic Attack ranged around 410,000 damage. So, if the {Sky Slicer} reaches its tenth strike, that one strike would have dealt over a basic damage of 4,100,000! That would be horrific for any player to take it head on!

Zhang Yang could not afford to let the boss succeed in doing so. Without a single delay, he activated his {Crash Magic}. The boss got interrupted right after he performed his first strike. Therefore, the onslaught of {Sky Slicer} was stopped right after that one hit. That one hit could only be treated as a normal attack from the boss.

"Hahaha! Do you really think that would save you pitiful humans from the inevitable?" Isles laughed madly. Then he took up his axe and began whirling his axe around.

{Storm Blades}!

Instantly, countless axe blades that were formed from light began to flash across the area of 300-meter radius! Each attack had caused an average damage of 410,000 to the players! Well, among the 67 players, only about 10 of them had managed to reach Level 215 at the moment. Due to the effect of the Level Gap Suppression effect of the game, the players were forced to receive much more damage than they should be receiving in the first place. On average, some of them even received a minimum damage of 820,000, while some of them received a maximum damage of 2,100,000!

Worse still, the boss did not just turn one round and stop there. He was continuously spinning with his sharp axe held out for over 30 seconds! Those 30 seconds was enough for the boss to deal a minimum damage of 12,000,000 and a maximum damage of 63,000,000 to each of the players!

So, how were the players holding up then?

The remaining Healers had busted their *sses in healing everyone up. However, after that one wave of the boss's {Storm Blade}, everyone was hurt so badly that they only had less than 50% HP remaining, even though they were tanking the boss's attacks in their transformed mode! As for those who did not have Inheritance Transformations, they managed to survive the attack by staying on board the Tanks.

Zhang Yang did not hesitate at all. He immediately took out another Forbidden Scroll, tore it off and threw it at the boss.

[Forbidden Scroll: Stuttering Focus] (Consumable)

Use: Causes the target to lose focus. There is a 10% rate that the target will become dejected once every 3 seconds. During the dejected period, the target will not be able to move at all. Lasts for 10 seconds. The effect of this magic can last for 10 hours or until the target dies. Cannot be removed.

Required Level: 200

Well, Zhang Yang did not purposely hide the existence of this scroll from the others. The scroll could only affect one single unit. There was no way that the effect of the scroll could affect a large number of monsters.

A Forbidden Scroll will forever stay a Forbidden Scroll. The effects of those god damn scrolls would not be resisted by the bosses like how the effect of {Glare of the Death God} would be. Therefore, the effects of the scroll took a solid hold of the boss. Instantly, a white skull formed right on top of the boss. That skull was the indication, saying that the boss had been afflicted by the effect of the scroll!

Theoretically speaking, 'Stuttering Focus' could basically cause the boss to lose his battle power once every 30 seconds. Averagely, the damage that the boss could deal would be reduced by one-third of its initial capability to deal damage. However, that was not how you calculate the amount of damage dealt of the boss. Because, if {Storm Blades} is interrupted during its period of activation, the Skill would be completely stopped.

Therefore, even though the boss's damage seemed to be weakened by one-third of its initial amount, but in truth, the reduction could reach over 40%!

Because of that, the players stood a solid chance now.

However, an increase in the chances of survival for a player does not mean that the player has become invincible. Even if the boss's AoE attacks had been reduced by 50%, the boss's {Storm Blade} could still deal approximately 6,000,000 damage to each player. The boss would use that Skill once every 60 seconds, dealing a DPS of 100,000 damage. Combining his attacks with the attacks of the monsters, the boss and the monsters could still bring a tremendous amount of stress to the Healers!

Zhang Yang threw another Forbidden Scroll out willingly, without thinking of the cost any further. Well, his main purpose was to take out the boss, after all. Upon doing so, he quickly said, "Everyone! Join my party now!"

Up till this point, everyone already knew that Zhang Yang had a very powerful {Vitality Aura}. Meanwhile, the other guilds also had players who had Aura Skills on them. For instance, Snow Seeker and the others also had their own Aura Skills. However, their Aura Skills had their ups and downs. Some of their Aura Skills were not fully enhanced yet.

Well, Aura Skills would only be effective on the user's party members. Here was the crucial moment. Everyone should unleash their full potential in order to claim victory over the war, now! After all, everyone in China Region would receive over a 10% reduction on their Experience Bars if they ever lose the Crimson Sky City! That would be awful for everyone!

Everyone would be sharing the same fate by the end of the war!

Zhang Yang passed the party member recruitment authority to Sun Xin Yu, Han Ying Xue and the rest of the gang. The intention was to speed up the process of recruiting the players into his party. Not only could he share the Beneficial Effect of his {Vitality Aura} with the other players, Zhang Yang would also be able to unite all Healers and get all players to unleash their full potential.

After recruiting the players into his party, everyone gained quite a number of Beneficial Effects all of a sudden. It was really a surprise that there were so many Aura Skills among the remaining players who just joined into Zhang Yang's party. However, Aura Skills such as {Vitality Aura} and {Life Aura} were needed much more than the others, because these Aura Skills would increase the survivability of the players on the battlefield. They would be perfect for the players under such circumstance.

However, even though Zhang Yang had used over a couple of his Forbidden Scrolls and shared his {Vitality Aura}, the boss and the monsters were still able to cause catastrophic damage to the players. The number of players remaining on the battlefield continued to fall gradually. When the last monster was taken out, only 19 players survived!

Among the surviving players, 5 of them were from Lone Desert Smoke. They were Zhang Yang, Sun Xin Yu, Han Ying Xue, Wei Yan Er and Daffodil Daydream. 2 of them were from Crimson Rage. They were Snow Seeker and Mellow Venom. 2 of them were from the Imperial Sky. They were One Sword Stroke and Absolute Aeonic Dominator. Meanwhile, the other 2 were from the Eternal Flames. They were Scholar Musou and Longrich.

The other remaining players were from the other top Tier guilds such as Rolling Rocks and Sunset Amber.

All of the remaining players shared two similarities. Firstly, they were all Level 215 and above. Secondly, they had at least a Class A Inheritance Transformation active.

Although the Tanks could really boost the survival chance of the players without Inheritance Transformation, the Tanks still had a limited Maximum HP.After the bombardment of the boss's AoE attacks, the Tanks were eventually destroyed one after another. Without the 'protection of the Tanks' those players had to die. Well, some of them had used their Inheritance Transformations earlier on. So, their Inheritance Transformation ended much earlier than Zhang Yang and the other top Tier players. Meanwhile, these players also had to suffer at the hands of the Level Gap Suppression effect of the game. Even though they managed to get some power up from the Aura Skills, they were still too weak to survive the onslaught of the boss.

The boss still had 97% HP remaining. Meanwhile, there were only 19 players left to battle against the boss!

Chapter 831: A Close Call

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Well, it was most probably because Isles did not have {Demonic Build} to recover his HP. The players had not lost all hope yet. Well if the boss could recover 1% HP once in every 30 seconds, they players should just kneel down and give up on the boss battle.

The system must have predicted that only a few would be able to survive until the end of the tenth wave. So, they designed the boss to be less threatening than he should have been.

"Mortals, you have only one way out of this! Die before the great demon! Give up on your pointless struggles and become my slaves! Then, I'll let you live!" Isles let out a series of strange and bizarre laughs. Then, he waved his axe and summoned countless meteors upon the players. They were bombarded so violently that they were jumping around up and down in an attempt to dodge the impacts of the meteors.

"You stinky shameless ugly horse! I'll take you out!" Wei Yan Er turned herself into a shroud of dark mist and floated over to the back of Isles. Then, she began slashing the back of the boss with her axe, as aggressively as she could.

The players were practically about Level 215 and they also Class A Inheritance Transformations. However, because of the difference in the Tiers of their equipment, their power level and their healing capability greatly differed. Even though Lone Desert Smoke was greatly affected by the 'Zhang Yang's Incident' earlier on, and they had not been active for the past one month, however, they were able to take out the 4 Ascended Tier bosses in Ambross. By doing that, they were able to acquire quite a number of powerful equipment to power themselves up. Each of them was almost done in collecting a full set of Ascended Tier equipment by now!

More importantly, each of Zhang Yang's gang had a piece of Celestial Tier equipment on them! One piece of Celestial Tier equipment could match the power of two pieces of Ascended Tier equipment combined! That was not a joke!

Therefore, in the aspect of dealing damage to the boss, the four DPS players from Lone Desert Smoke were considered the best among all players! In terms of healing, others could only admire the healing capacity of Han Ying Xue with their jaws dropping.

If Isles only had one Skill - {Storm Blade} on him, with the support of {Life Aura}, the 3 Healers with Inheritance Transformations activated should be able to maintain the HP bars of all remaining players! Unfortunately, {Storm Blade} was not the only Skill that Isles had.

{Demonic Domain} and {Star Fall} of the boss were forcing the players to run around like crazy chickens. Well, especially the {Demonic Domain}, the players would become the underlings of the boss if they ever get careless and set foot in the effective area of that Skill! Because of that, the players had to move around, constantly. Because of that, the Healers could not heal the others at their full capacity.

However, the worst part would still be the boss's {Despairing Point}!

Although the boss was chained down by the aggro system of the game, only the boss's normal attacks and {Sky Slicer} would be landing on Zhang Yang's body. However, the boss's {Despairing Point} was specially designed to take care of the Healers! Even though that Skill would not do any harm to the players, 60 seconds of 'imprisonment' was annoying as f*ck!

The worst part about this Skill was that the Skill could imprison players for over 60 seconds. However, the Skill only had a cooldown of 30 seconds. In simpler words, there would always be two Healers not being able to heal as they should.

Well, that could spell the end of the battle for the players!

The party had no way of preventing their numbers from falling again!

18! 17! 16!

The good news out of it was that the boss had no Skill that would allow him to recover his HP. Under the insanely powerful bombardment of the party, the boss's HP was reducing significantly as well.

Now was the time for everyone to deal as much damage as they could, as if their lives were depending on it. As a matter of fact, their lives were indeed depending on that! Well, fortune favors the bold, after all!

As the most powerful Healer among the entire party, Han Ying Xue had become the primary target of the boss's 'target to imprison'. Because of that, her Healing Efficiency had dropped to third in place. After that, only did the boss switch his target to the other two Healers.

In other words, the boss would only aim the Healer with the highest Healing Efficiency. No matter how good the performance of the first two Healers turn out to be, they would be affected by the boss and become the third in place, making either one of the two Healers be as bad as the performance of the Healer in third place.

Fortunately, the Healers that survived up to this point were not weak at all. Only Han Ying Xue, who had a Class S Inheritance could dominate all other Healers in terms of Healing. The standard of the other two Healers was almost similar. Because of that, the party was able to function like it should be doing so in the first place.

90%, 80%, 70%! On the other hand, the HP bar of the boss continued to drop rapidly.

"How dare you go against the will of the demons!? I shall crush you all into pieces!" Isles would shout the same phrase whenever he is about to use his Ultimate Skill. As expected, after hearing the boss shouting that phrase, he would begin to whirl his weapon in circle in high speed, slicing the players with all those flashing shadows of his blades!

Currently, Zhang Yang no longer had his Inheritance Transformation activated. Furthermore, the Phoenix pet had died as well. So Zhang Yang only had Felice who had transformed herself into her Dragonhawk Form to aid him in battle. Unfortunately, the current Felice only had a full set of Holy Tier equipment on her. She could only deal a DPS of approximately 250,000 damage. Well, her Attack power was still too weak to be compared to Zhang Yang's.

However, a DPS of approximately 250,000 damage was not considered low either. Felice could still deal over 1,800,000,000 damage to the boss within her 2-hour Transformation period. That would be almost 10% HP of the boss!

14! 11! 10!

Scholar Musou made a grave mistake. He did not manage to get out of the {Demonic Domain}'s effect in time. Instantly, he got controlled by the boss! After that, he began to attack one of the Healers as fiercely as he could!

Initially, the party was already short on Healers to support them. Their HP bars were going up and down around 50%. With Scholar Musou's sudden 'Treachery', the party was hit so hard that they could not recover from the impact immediately. The Healer was instantly killed by Scholar Musou! Well, sh*t happens. By the time everyone reacted and killed Scholar Musou, there were only 8 players left on the party.

The world had just turned into a f*cking sh*tstorm!

Only two Healers remained. One was being 'imprisoned' by the boss at the moment, leaving only one Healer to heal the entire party! Currently, the party had basically lost their support from the Healers!

However, the players managed to realize that the boss had left a way for the players to survive. When there are only two Healers left on the battlefield, the boss's {Despairing Point} would only affect one of them, giving the other Healer an opportunity to heal the party.

Well… that wouldn't make much difference as well!

If Han Ying Xue could focus on healing the party without getting interrupted by the boss's {Despairing Point}, she could just abandon healing some players and focus on healing only Zhang Yang, Sun Xin Yu, Wei Yan Er and herself. She should be able to make sure the four of them stay alive for quite some time. However, the {Despairing Point} would only be used on the Healer with the highest Healing Efficiency on the battlefield! By then, she would become the one who gets 'imprisoned' by the boss, instead of the other Healer.

Zhang Yang began to feel helpless. So he had no choice, but to order Felice to turn herself into the 'Tree of Life'.

All of Felice's Transformations would share the same Global Shared Cooldown. So once she exits her Dragonhawk Form, she would be abandoning her Transformation. By doing so, he could not be able to turn herself into the strongest form of the 'Tree of Life.'. Well, it was an unfortunate thing though. It would mean something, even if she could heal them a little!

Because the boss's {Despairing Point} only works on the players. Even if Felice joins in to heal, the boss's {Despairing Point} would remain the same.

One hour later, the players were barely hanging on. The other Healer had announced that she was out of MP. Meanwhile, the boss's HP had dropped to 20%!

The most difficult time of the boss battle had begun!

"Puny living things, I have no time to expel you one by one! Just die together!" Isles let out a battle cry that was filled with rage. He began whirl in circles like a tornado. After spinning for two rounds, the effect of the 'Stuttering Focus' kicked in and forcefully stopped the boss from moving for 10 seconds! However, 10 seconds later, he began to spin with his axe again. {Storm Blade}!

The boss's Ultimate Skill no longer… had a cooldown now!

"Felice! Just heal you and me! No one else!" Zhang Yang threw his {Surrogacy} onto Sun Xin Yu. As for Han Ying Xue, she was very much safe, thanks to the boss's {Despairing Point}.

"Roger, big brother!" Felice nodded.

Zhang Yang unleashed everything he had on him! {God of War Battle Axe}. {God of War Shield}, {Rock Solid}, {Shield Wall}! Using all those Skills, he managed to maximize his survival throughout the battle. At the same time, he also activated his {Tribulation} to deflect the boss's attacks back at the boss!

"Argh! I'm about to die! Wu wu wu! Cousin sis! Save me!" Wei yan Er had activated all her life-saving Skills once. However, no one in the vicinity was capable of healing her back up. It did not take long before she was chopped into slices by the boss's {Storm Blade}!

Daffodil Daydream, killed in action!

Snow Seeker, killed in action!

Sun Xin Yu, killed in action!

...

Currently, Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue were the only two left alive on the battlefield.

However, it would make no difference at all even if Han Ying Xue is killed. Well, she had been suffering the {Despairing Point} all the time. The only time where she could contribute to the battle is during that one moment when she gets free. She could only throw a {Regeneration} on Zhang Yang before she gets 'imprisoned' again.

However, Zhang Yang's Defence was not weak at all!

Firstly, his Defence upon activating his Inheritance Transformation would reach up to 178,100. With the support from his {God of War Shield} he could again another 20% Passive Damage Immunity and 35,956 Damage Absorption. Each attack from the boss could only deal approximately 110,000 damage.

Furthermore, he also had his {God of War Restoration} bestow him a 10-second invincibility effect. Well, his {Rock Solid} had also provided quite a decent increase to both his Defence and Damage Immunity as well. Not to mention, he also had {Shield Wall} and {Block} that could be utilized in the boss battle. From all of the above, Zhang Yang's chances of survival in the boss battle would be terrifyingly high. He was actually able to stay alive by just relying on Han Ying Xue's {Restoration} and Felice's healing.

Well, Zhang Yang still had {Radiance of the God of War}. He could recover over 200,000,000 HP in one brief instant by activating that Skill!

Even though he would survive without much of a problem at the moment, Felice, on the other hand, was barely staying alive! The little lady was not as tough as Zhang Yang, after all. Each of the attacks from the boss's {Storm Blade} could deal up to approximately 420,000 damage. Without her Transformation form to support her, she only had approximately 1,660,000 HP. That would make the situation much more difficult for her. Her margin of error was minimal. Although Han Ying Xue would still be able to throw her {Restoration} at her, that would not really do much for her. In about three to four minutes, Felice's HP bar had hit the bottom. Zhang Yang had no choice, but to send her back into her slot.

"The boss could only deal about 120,000 damage to me in each second. Even without Witchy Snow's healing, I can still use my {Radiance of God of War}. With an additional 200,000,000 HP to spare, I should be able to battle the boss for another 27 minutes. In other words, I will still have a lot of time to deal damage to the boss!"

Zhang Yang was making the calculations quietly in his heart, "The boss only has 18% HP, 2,200,000,000 HP… My DPS is about 1,100,000 damage… So I'll only need about… hmmm… 33 minutes to empty out the boss's HP bar."

"There's a 6 minute window gap. But as long as I can gulp down my Healing Potions as much as I can and as long as witchy snow can keep healing me with her {Restoration} whenever she can, I can definitely last for 30 minutes! By then, I can just use my second {Radiance of God of War} to recover another 200,000,000 HP!"

"So, I'll surely be able to win this battle!"

Zhang Yang let out an insane roar and activated his {Indiscrimination}. There goes the explosive boost of his damage output!

{Killing Cleave}! {God of War Devastation}! {God of War Axe}! {Frost Strike}! {Destructive Smash} {Force Strike}!

With the support of his {Indiscrimination}, his {Killing Cleave} managed to deal over tens of millions of damage to the boss! Meanwhile, Skills that could deal 3 times his initial damage, such as {God of War Devastation} could now deal over 7,000,000 damage. As for his Skills that dealt double of his initial damage output such as {Horizontal Strike,} they could now reach up to 5,000,000 damage! In merely 10 seconds, Zhang Yang had dealt over 50,000,000 damage to the boss!

Well, that was a solid 5,000,000 DPS! Unfortunately, good things never last long!

10 minutes!

20 minutes!

30 minutes!

As expected, Zhang Yang was able to tank through the 30 minutes with the aid of Han Ying Xue's healing and some Healing Potions. Well, he still had about 70,000 HP left!

{Radiance of the God of War}!

'200000000!'

A terrifying, green numerical value popped right on top of Zhang Yang's head! Then, Zhang Yang was at his full HP again! Meanwhile, the boss only had 1.7% HP left!

Finally! Zhang Yang is about to kill the boss!

Chapter 832: Sky Slicer

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With 200,000,000 HP left on him, Zhang Yang began to engage Isles, who still had 200,000,000 HP remaining. However, the Attack power of both sides was not on the same notch after all. It did not take much before Zhang Yang destroyed the boss, entirely!

"Rawgh --" Isles let out a miserable scream and collapsed to the ground. Numerous loots were dropped across the ground.

'Ding! The Demonic Commander Isles has been eliminated!'

'Ding! You've acquired 3 additional Skill Points!'

'Server Announcement: Congratulations to China Region for successfully fending off the Demonic Invasion!'

"Yeah! We're rich!" Naturally, Han Ying Xue was freed from the 'prison' the moment the boss died. In the face of the glittering pile of loots across the ground, Han Ying Xue's eyes began to glitter as well! Well, here she goes again… she had just entered her money-grubbing mode again.

"Stop dreaming and pick up the loot now!" Zhang Yang laughed out loud and quickly started picking up the loots from group.

The battle was over. All of the Teleportation Circles had resumed their regular functionality. Meanwhile, the dead body of the boss was right in the middle of the main city. It would only take approximately 3 to 5 minutes for the players to reach all the way back to the boss's dead body. Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue had no time at all to take a closer look at the loot! So, it would be wise for them to pick all the loot up as quickly as they can.

Of course, when the two of them picked up the loots from the ground, the others had arrived at the scene, one after another. However, they arrived only after Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue had already swept the entire ground clean! So, those players could only sigh at the boss's dead body.

-- Main City forbids any form of PvP match!

"Zhang Yang! You're not the only one who contributed in taking down the boss! Share the loots! We're entitled to them as well!" Zhong Xiu Hua suddenly cried like a little b*tch.

"That's right, we're entitled to the loots as well!"

"Without us, you wouldn't have had any chance against the boss at all!"

The people of Eternal Flame began to whine like a whole bunch of little b*tches. Well, no one could blame them for behaving that way. The Ascended Tier equipment was currently extremely precious. It was not like anyone could just obtain the Ascended Tier equipment by purchasing it with money. Anyone who has fought Angus before would know better. The power level of the Celestial Tier boss can be freakishly powerful at times! Without a full set of Ascended Tier equipment, none of the players would be able to challenge a Celestial Tier boss!

Furthermore, Isles would not only drop Ascended Tier equipment. He should have dropped other powerful items such as Skill Books and Normal Demonic Pearls as well!

Zhang Yang laughed out loud and said, "Don't you think that you're acting like a bunch of clowns now? Your acting sucks! So, stop embarrassing yourselves at once! If you think it's not embarrassing enough, I don't mind teaching you some lessons on the 'Hovering Amphitheatre'!"

"Zhang Yang! You better keep your head down! Lone Desert Smoke can't possibly take on all the players in the entire China Region! This world belongs to everyone! Not just your sh*tty Lone Desert Smoke!" Zhong Xiu Hua was trying to provoke the rage of the other players towards Zhang Yang. "Without the efforts of the other players, your Lone Desert Smoke would not have even survived the first wave of the invasion! Pui!"

"Boo hoo, cry me a river! Nobody's efforts have gone to waste! Firstly, everyone was fighting for the name and dignity of entire China. Secondly, everyone was fighting to prevent the 10% Experience Points reduction on everyone in China Region! So don't consider yourself a saint or whatever! You're not! You don't even speak for everyone in China Region! Pui!" Zhang Yang began to feel impatient, as he looked at Zhong Xiu Hua with disdain.

"Zhang Yang --"

"Stop whining here! Shut the f*ck up! If you want to prove something, let's settle it on the 'Hovering Amphitheatre'. Or else, just get lost! Pui!" Zhang Yang revealed a very impatient expression on his face.

Zhong Xiu Hua was so angry that his face turned pale. However, he didn't have the guts to face Zhang Yang on the 'Hovering Amphitheatre' as well. If he ever gets killed in that arena, he would lose his levels! Now that it has become ridiculously difficult to grind for even one level, Zhong Xiu Hua would not be daring enough to accept that challenge.

"Hahaha!" Every other player in the vicinity was laughing and cheering for Zhang Yang. Well, Zhong Xiu Hua was currently infamous for being 'the prince with sexual-transmitted-disease'. No one in the server did not know that case by now.

After arriving at Holy City together with his gang, Zhang Yang began to distribute the loots among themselves.

Isles was considered the final boss of the entire Demonic Invasion. So, he had dropped quite a number of powerful items and equipment upon his death. Other than the 15 pieces of Ascended Tier equipment, there were also 28 pieces of Holy Tier equipment among the loots! There were also many other Skill Books, Skill Point Crystals, Aura Stones, Level 8 Gemstones and Normal Demonix Pearls!

Other than the Accessory piece on him, Zhang Yang had already collected a full set of Ascended Tier equipment now. Initially, he no longer had much need in acquiring any equipment that the boss drops. However, after distributing the loot for one round, he realized that there was a two-handed sword left without an owner.

Wei Yan Er and Galileo had already gotten weapons of Ascended Tier from defeating Angus. Meanwhile, the others were not capable of equipping a two-handed weapon. So, Zhang Yang had no choice but to take the two-handed weapon and shove it into his inventory.

Well, it was not a bad thing either. Zhang Yang could use that weapon to enhance his current one. The axe that he was currently wielding was a Level 200 masterpiece!

After distributing the loot, it was time to distribute the remaining items, the Skill Point Crystals. Because Zhang Yang just recently learned {Rock Solid}, he would need more Skill Points in order to upgrade that Skill. So, he took one. Including the 3 Skill Points that he has acquired from killing Isles and this Skill Point that he just acquired, he could level his Skill up to level 8 now. After activating the Skill, he now gained 120% additional Defence and 24% Passive Damage Immunity.

Furthermore, Isles had also dropped two Forbidden Scrolls!

Both of the Forbidden Scrolls were basically AoE types. One was named 'Absolute Zero,' while the other was named 'Doomsday's Natural Disaster'. Both had the same effects that reduced 10% HP from all targets in every second for over 30 seconds. The effect would cover an area of a 5-kilometer radius. The minimum damage the effect could cause to each target would be 150,000 damage per second, while the maximum damage would be 300,000 damage. Players would only be able to use the scrolls upon reaching Level 200.

Well, that two scrolls should be considered as compensations for using the 'Eclipse' and the 'Reaper's Descent' then. However, Zhang Yang still lost a 'Stuttering Focus'. Well, it was still worth using the 'Stuttering Focus' to exchange for the loots though. Look at Snow Seeker. She had used out one Forbidden Scroll as well. However, she did not get anything in return by the end of the battle.

Speaking of which, the other players actually did get something in return. Because they had won the battle against the demonic forces, they were spared the penalty of 10% Experience Points Reduction. The players from the entire China Region had actually gained something from claiming victory over the Demonic Invasion as well.

As for the Skill Books, Zhang Yang managed to win one powerful Skill for himself from rolling, the 'Sky Slicer'!

[Sky Slicer: Consecutively slashes the target, dealing 100% Basic Melee Attack. You will gain 100% additional damage for every second onwards. Lasts for 10 seconds. During this period of time, you cannot use other Skills, or else the {Sky Slicer} will be automatically interrupted.

Require: Melee Weapon.

Consume: 100 Rage Points.

Cooldown: 5 minutes.

The Skill was basically the same as the boss' own {Sky Slicer}. The Skill will be easily interrupted if used on a player. It could only serve as a normal attack, in that case. However, if this Skill is used without having any interruptions in-between, the target would be fatally wounded!

The best targets for players who could use this Skill would be the monsters. Well, 90% of the monsters would not have any Status Restriction Skills. Even if some of them did, the user could just waste away the monsters' Status Restriction Skills before using {Sky Slicer}!

Even though 5-minute cooldown was a bit long, the impact and damage that the Skill could bring would make it worthwhile.

Last but not least, the boss had also dropped 7 [Normal Demonic Pearls]. Each of the pearls could increase the success rate of fusing equipment by 40%!

After distributing everything among themselves, Zhang Yang dissolved the party and everyone went off to mind their own business for the moment. Well, the second Demonic Invasion would hit the players again, one month from now. So everyone must make good use of the remaining one month to grind and power themselves up. Reaching Level 215 would be the top priority for everyone in the server now! Truth be told, if most of the players have reached Level 215 during the Demonic Invasion event, there would still be approximately 10,000 to 20,000 players remaining when the final boss Isles reveals himself by the end of the tenth wave. The battle would not be as fierce and intense!

Zhang Yang selected the newly acquired weapon [Frost Destroyer's Blade] in the inventory. He was getting ready to fuse the weapon with his axe, now.

[Frost Destroyer's Blade] (Ascended, Two-Handed)

Attack: 47,620 – 67,620

Attack Interval: 3.8 seconds

DPS: 15,163

{Level 8 Socket 1}

{Level 8 Socket 2}

Equip: Increases Damage by 50%.

Equip: Increases Critical Rate by 15%.

Equip: Upon landing a hit on your target, there is a rate that you can deal 50% Melee Attack of Frost Damage to your target as well.

Required Level: 240

Special: Reduces Required Level by 30 levels.

After putting the [Frost Destroyer's Blade] and the axe that he was currently using into the Tesseract, Zhang Yang immediately received a system notification.

'Ding! You're about to fuse [Frost Destroyer's Blade] and [Agos, The Destroyer's Blade]. The rate of success for fusing a Sword Type and an Axe Type weapon is lower. There's an 80% success rate to acquire a Sword Type weapon upon completion. There's a 60% success rate to acquire an Axe Type weapon upon completion. You can select whether to fuse for a Sword Type weapon or an Axe Type weapon. Do you wish to proceed?'

Hmm… the success rate for fusing two weapons of different Types would be much lower. However, players could choose the Weapon Type desired. That's actually very convenient!

Zhang Yang inserted one [Normal Demonic Pearl] and he received another system notification in an instance.

'You've inserted [Normal Demonic Pearl] X 1. The success rate for both fusion types will be 100% and 100%. Do you wish to proceed?'

'You've chosen to fuse for the Axe-Type weapon, proceed!'

'Fusion in progress!'

...

'Ding! You've succeeded in acquiring a new equipment: Frost Destroyer's Blade (Upgrade 1)!'

[Frost Destroyer's Blade (Upgrade 1)] (Ascended, Two-Handed)

Attack: 53,382 – 73,382

Attack Interval: 3.8 seconds

DPS: 16,679

{Level 8 Socket 1}

{Level 8 Socket 2}

Equip: Increases Damage by 50%.

Equip: Increases Critical Rate by 15%.

Equip: Upon landing a hit on your target, there is a rate that you can deal 50% Melee Attack of Frost Damage to your target as well.

Equip: Upon hitting the target with normal attacks, there is a rate that you can deal a damage 8 times stronger than your initial attack.

Required Level: 240

Special: Reduces Required Level by 30 levels.

Unfortunately, if there were any other Ascended Tier axes to spare, Zhang Yang could have used some [Demonic Pearls] to ensure a 100% successful rate in enhancing his axe up to a 4 upgrade. However, the rate of acquiring another 3 two-handed Ascended Tier axes would be much lower than the rate of acquiring one Celestial Tier axe!

Instead of working on that, it would be wiser for Zhang Yang to focus on getting Celestial Tier equipment! Well, there would be another 6 Demonic Invasions in the upcoming days. Players who manage to recover the main cities would become eligible to challenge the Demon Lord Kenzack, a Celestial Tier boss! If he is lucky, he might even get a chance to acquire a Celestial Tier weapon upon killing Kenzack!

...

After the first Demonic Invasion, other than China Region, the main cities of the other 6 Main Regions were conquered by the Demonic Forces!

Well, it wasn't really a surprise, though. After all, the players had no prior information about the demonic forces and how powerful they were. If Zhang Yang did not use his 'Gate of Hell', the China Region could not have survived the ninth wave of the Demonic Invasion. Even if they could survive the ninth wave, they would be wiped out entirely by the tenth wave of the invasion forces.

Of course, the players would be able to improve themselves to another level during the coming month. If the levels of the monsters do not change, the number of players affected by the Level Gap Suppression effect of the game would be reduced a lot. So, if they could hold on until the tenth wave, they would have high hopes of winning by the end of the Demonic Invasion!

Chapter 833: Staying In The Lead

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Among the eight main Regions in the entire server, China Region was the only one who survived the onslaught of the Demonic forces during the Demonic Invasion event. So, it was natural that the players from China Region were proud and happy at the same time. They managed to convince themselves that their efforts did not go to waste because of that.

However, they managed to survive the last two waves, merely because Zhang Yang had summoned his legion of demons with his 'Gate of Hell'. That would be the irreplaceable factor that led China Region to their victory over the demonic forces! Even though it was true that the Lone Desert Smoke would not have made it to the last wave all by themselves, the other players could not deny Zhang Yang's efforts and contributions on that matter.

That had also sent many of the players sighing in shame. If any other of them could get a hold of the 'Gate of Hell', they could have contributed a lot at fending the Demonic Invasion as well. They could have helped to keep many more players alive until the final boss revealed himself!

Now that the China Region did not receive the penalty of Experience Point Reduction, the players from China Region had basically gained a significant upper hand in term of strength. Well, while the others were set back by the penalty, the players from China Region did not lose anything. They could also focus on grinding to get stronger without any hindrance. The negative effect would stay until the players manage to complete all 7 Demonic Invasion Events before the NPC armies strike back at the demonic forces. Only then, would the players be able to take back their lands and cities, one after another, with the help of the NPC army. Well, each successful retaking of a city would recover 10% of the players' rate of Experience Points.

Like the Monster Attack Event, the NPC army would act once every month. If the seven Main Cities fall tragically by the end of the event, players would need to wait for 7 months before the speed of them earning Experience Points recover its initial speed.

Of course, it did not mean that players cannot launch Strike Back conquests to take back their main cities during that period of time.

However, players could still heal their HP and MP and resurrect players when they were defending their main cities in between every wave. The players even got some help from the NPCs. If they still couldn't fend off against the Demonic Invasions, it would be insane to even think about striking back at the demonic forces!

Obviously, the only way to reclaim the lost cities and lands would be to borrow aid from the NPCs. Well, the system had stated clearly that the players would only be eligible to challenge the Celestial Tier boss after all Main Cities of all Main Regions are reclaimed. Even though the Celestial Tier boss Kenzack was obviously placed there, the players would have to follow the system's ruling.

However, players were still too weak to get into Level 240 – 270 maps at the current stage of the game. Obviously, the system had designed it to prevent players from attempting to bring down the boss.

Well, maybe when all of the Main Cities are reclaimed, the NPCs will open up a portal and let the players through into the lair of Kenzack. By then, the players should be able to challenge the Celestial Tier boss. Or, the system could just drag Kenzack out of his hiding lair into the public and kick everyone's *ss. Well, how the events would unfold totally depended on the game company. Their idea could just change at the next moment.

Although 30 days was not a short period, it was merely 10 days in reality. That amount of time would be sufficient for the players to grind 1 level, at least. Well, do not estimate the difference of 1 level. That could mean most of the Level 214 players have leveled up to Level 215 by now. So, they shouldn't be concerned about the Level Gap Suppression effect of the game when they survive until the last wave of the invasion, where the bosses reveal themselves on the battlefield!

Because the players in China Region had acquired the advantage of earning 10% additional Experience Point, the number of China players reaching Level 215 was obviously higher than the number of players reaching Level 215 in other Regions. At the same time, the number of Level 210 players and Level 205 players had increased substantially...

Because of that, there would be much lesser players getting restricted by the Level Gap Suppression effect of the game.

Little by little, the advantages that the players could gain over each wave will be brought over to the last wave, to create an impressive effect in order for the players to defeat the last wave of the demons!

Each wave of the Demonic Invasion would send out an Ascended Tier boss. Therefore, there was no sign of any other Ascended Tier boss across the maps. Therefore, the only way for the players to acquire better equipment to improve themselves was to head down to the Elemental Nest.

30 days had passed without much notice. This time, all eight Regions were ready for the second Demonic Invasion Event.

The invasion was similar to the first Demonic Invasion Event. There were a total of 10 waves of monsters. The number of monsters and the type of the monsters in each wave was exactly the same as the first event. Even the sequence of monsters revealing themselves to the players was the same! The only difference was that the names of the monsters in the third wave and the name of the final boss in the final wave had some changes. Well, their levels, Skills and HP were exactly the same compared to the first invasion event as well.

Although the China Region was the only Region that had managed to last until the end, however, if they hadn't used 10 Forbidden Scrolls while they were fending off the tenth wave of the invasion, they would have been wiped out and their efforts would have been for nothing. Meanwhile, it wouldn't be easy at all to acquire one Forbidden Scroll. Even Lone Desert Smoke only managed to earn back two Forbidden Scrolls from Isles. The other guilds had failed to 'restock' their Forbidden Scrolls.

Therefore, even though they were very familiar with the battles ahead of them, they still struggled through hell in the tenth wave! Zhang Yang did not hold back anything in that battle. He threw out both of the Forbidden Scrolls 'Absolute Zero' and 'Doomsday's Natural Disaster' without any hesitation. Furthermore, there were at least 10,000 players who managed to reach Level 215 and over, this time. They were able to destroy the monsters in the tenth wave with the aid of Zhang Yang's two Forbidden Scrolls.

However, they were sent even closer to death this time. When the final boss Marank arrived, only Zhang Yang, Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu remained on the battlefield!

"Can we still take the boss down?" Han Ying Xue was not confident at all.

Well, there were still 67 remaining when they began engaging the final boss previously. Although the boss was basically tortured to death by Zhang Yang alone, Zhang Yang did use a Forbidden Scroll 'Stuttering Focus' to weaken the boss's Attack by one third. So, how would they be able to take down the boss this time?

"No worry! Snow Seeker has given me a Forbidden Scroll that focuses on weakening one target!" Zhang Yang activated his God of War Transformation and charged towards the boss. At the same time, he tore off the Forbidden Scroll and threw it onto the boss.

[Forbidden Scroll: Doomed Entanglement] (Consumable)

Use: Curses the target with a doomed fate. The target will have a 50% chance to deal half of the initial damage. The target will have 50% to receive double damage when hit. Lasts for 10 hours.

Required Level: 200

Even though this scroll could not weaken the boss as much as the previous one, the scroll could still add a 50% rate to increase the players' Attack power by an additional 100%! That could make Zhang Yang and the two ladies much stronger! Because the battle was ended in a brief moment, everyone knew that the boss had been weakened by the system.

"Tsk... she's really... good to you!" Han Ying Xue began to get jealous about it. Then she narrowed her eyes while staring at Zhang Yang with blazing jealousy.

Zhang Yang laughed bitterly. Well, as long as he just leaves her alone for now, nothing would happen. Or else, if that witch starts to quarrel with him, he would be having a hell of a ride for the day. She would talk about Snow Seeker, then change the subject over to Luo Yu Rou, then change the subject over to Chen Xue Yao. The sh*t will go on until Zhang Yang admits he's wrong, even though he did nothing wrong.

Felice transformed into her 'Tree of Life' form immediately.

This time, Zhang Yang had come prepared. He would not let Felice repeat the same mistakes again.

Well, Han Ying Xue was 'disabled,' as expected. She was 'imprisoned' for most of the time, during the entire boss battle. However, Felice was able to perform at her best this time. Combined with the {Restoration} that Han Ying Xue would throw at him once in a while, Felice managed to maintain the HP bars of Zhang Yang and Sun Xin Yu.

Fortunately, Han Ying Xue was safe and sound in the 'imprisonment'. So, she did not even lose one bit of HP. Zhang Yang could just throw his {Surrogacy} onto Sun Xin Yu so that she could also have a taste of having the world strongest Defence power!

{Charge Up Strike}! {Sky Slicer}!

'-4,037,091!''-8,074,182!''-24,222,546!'...'-40,370,910!'

Well, it seemed that the designers of the game had never thought it possible that a player would acquire the two Skills that Zhang Yang had just activated at the same time! The {Charge Up Strike} could ensure the attacks of the next Skill to be 100% Critical Hits! Although {Sky Slicer} could only slice out 10 attacks thoroughly, the 10 attacks were considered as 'one Skill'. So naturally, each of the 10 hits would become Critical Hits! Furthermore, each upcoming hit would gain 50% additional attack!

The {Charge Up Strike} had really boosted Zhang Yang's damage tremendously! Zhang Yang had just dealt approximately 330,000,000 damage in merely 10 seconds! That's a total of 33,000,000 DPS! That had exceeded his initial DPS of 1,300,000 damage by many notches! Of course, such an explosive series of attacks would only happen once in every 5 minutes. Other than that, it was also because Zhang Yang had used the 'Doomed Entanglement' which allowed him to have 50% rate to trigger double damage. So normally speaking, he should initially deal approximately 220,000,000 damage only.

Well, a 330,000,000 damage was not a damage amount that a boss could take on. That amount of damage had taken out 3% of the boss's HP! It was savage!

Not only was the boss heavily wounded, Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue were stunned to see that! Well, the Skill could only be so powerful when Zhang Yang is the one using it!

The boss was very unfortunate, though. Even though the boss also had the same Skill, he was interrupted by Zhang Yang after he managed to strike once with the Skill. The difference was just huge! If the target of Zhang Yang was a player, the player would just cry in misery and die!

Even though there were only two players left on the battlefield to deal damage to the boss, but both players were players with Class S Inheritance. Their damage outputs were terrifyingly high! Each of their DPS had exceeded 1,000,000 damage now! Theoretically, they would only need approximately 80 minutes to take out the boss! Furthermore, Zhang Yang could deal a series of explosive attacks once every 5 minutes! That had really reduced the time needed to slay the boss!

About one hour later, the boss let out a pathetic roar and died! Well, the boss was f*cked up hard by Zhang Yang and Sun Xin Yu with ease!

Unfortunately, the boss did not drop the Skill Book {Sky Slicer} this time around. Wei Yan Er was extremely disappointed because of that. She pouted and sulked at the sidelines.

Well, the China Region managed to keep their Main City this time as well. The players had received 20% additional Experience Points whenever they were earning EXP. Because of that, they gained an absolute advantage over the other Regions when it comes to grinding.

Another 30 days had passed. The third Demonic Invasion had arrived.

After experiencing the invasion for over two times, the players have become very familiar with the layout and design of the demonic forces' waves. Furthermore, the number of high-level players throughout the entire server had increased substantially as well. This time, finally, China was not the only Region that succeeded in keeping their Main City. The Europe Region, India Region, and North-America Region had also succeeded in fending off the demonic forces from taking over their Main Cities!

However, even though that was the case, the China Region still had the advantage of earning 20% additional Experience Points. That would not change for now. Because of that, the players from China Region continued to triumph in regard to leveling and staying ahead of the game.

As the number of players retained by the end of the tenth wave increased, Zhang Yang and his gang no longer needed to take on the boss all by themselves. Well, they could no longer take all the loots to themselves because of that. However, when it comes to snatching items and equipment, Han Ying Xue and Wei Yan Er were experts among experts in such regard! They were basically 'trained' to be fast in snatching because of their 'money-grubbing' attitude. By the end of it, Lone Desert Smoke still got the largest portion of the loots.

Well, there was already a total of 19 [Normal Demonic Pearl] among the loots! Those pearls were enough to ensure a 100% success rate in enhancing an equipment of a top Tier player to 4 enhancement!

The fourth Demonic Invasion, the fifth Demonic Invasion... the seventh Demonic Invasion!

All Regions had managed to completely fend off the Demonic Forces in the fifth time Demonic Invasion. Therefore, the Japan-Korea Region had only lost over 4 main cities, even though they were hit the hardest. However, they would need at least 120 days of in-game time to completely reclaim their main cities, get back their initial efficiency of grinding and reach the required level to challenge The Demon Lord Kenzack!

-- Provided that the NPCs successfully reclaim the main cities every time they strike back!

Because the China Region had not lost a single main city throughout the 7 times of Demonic Invasion, they managed to acquire the opportunity of being the first in the entire server to ever challenge the Demon Lord Kenzack. However, Zhang Yang did not sign into the game for a few days straight. That was because Luo Yu Rou was about to give birth to his first child!

Chapter 834: Demon Lord Kenzack

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

The Unfilial may multiply, but they can never prosper!

That is a main teaching of China. It is also one of the most important teachings that are practically written in every living being.

Zhang Yang had never been able to sleep properly. In fact, he was practically disturbed by every audible grunt coming out from Luo Yu Rou's mouth. He was like a monkey out of a box. Of the times that he had not been logging in to the game, he had used that time of his life to sit beside Luo Yu Rou, caressing her womb and staring at it.

It was then Luo Yu Rou felt like she had made a good decision to keep the baby with a man such as Zhang Yang. The fatherhood he had displayed before the baby was still in her belly had truly moved her.

Despite the doctors' advise, Luo Yu Rou had opted for natural delivery instead of using any sort of drug use or surgical means. After four hours of excruciating pain, Luo Yu Rou endured each painful contraction of her womb and managed to deliver the baby, safe and sound.

Zhang Yang, who was jumping about wildly like a tiger in rage, outside the waiting room could not handle his rage. Every single time he heard Luo Yu Rou crying in pain, he could storm towards the delivery room, only to be stopped by more than 10 security guards. Even they were already on the verge of letting him go due to his unnatural strength. How could Zhang Yang be calm when his wife was practically giving birth to his child!

After Luo Yu Rou's voice died down suddenly, followed by the loud cry of a newborn child, Zhang Yang calmed down as if someone had shot him with an elephant's tranquilizer. Zhang Yang walked like a zombie towards the delivery room when the guards were finally called off. A female nurse walked towards Zhang Yang with a baby, wrapped in white towel.

"Congratulations. It's a baby girl."

Zhang Yang took the baby girl into his arms and said to the nurse with tears flowing down. "No. She's a princess. She's my princess."

Despite everything he owned, all the wealth, and all the fame, he felt remorseful that he could not provide much more for his little princess. The little life that was less than a kilogram lay in Zhang Yang's arms, squeezing his hand as she sucked Zhang Yang's thumb. At that moment, even if Liu Wei was standing in front of him, Zhang Yang would have felt that all the hatred inside of him was washed away. He felt peace, after a long time. The serenity in the air lasted only for a jiffy when the little girl barged into the waiting room and cried.

"Lemme see her! Lemme see my niece!"

Zhang Yang could not muster any anger in him and smiled. He kneeled down and passed the fragile little life into the little girl's arms. Wei Yan Er took the little babe and rocked her slowly in her skinny arms. Like magic, the little girl was calmed down almost immediately. She poked her fair little fingers on the baby's soft cheeks and laughed.

"Looks like everything is fine," said Han Ying Xue. When she came into the hospital, she was feeling a little annoyed. The fact that someone else had given birth to Zhang Yang's baby and she could not be the one. However, when Han Ying Xue took the baby into her arms, she too, felt all the negative emotions in her beginning to melt away. All she felt then, was love.

"How about that," said the nurse with a gentle smile.

"Please keep me updated on my wife's condition."

"Very well, sir."

10 days later, after confirming the baby's health was superb, Zhang Yang finally returned to the game.

"Little Yang! Let us arrange a child marriage!" said Fatty Han with the most earnest eyes as he tapped Zhang Yang's shoulders.

"You want me to give you a super slap in the face, that even a palm reader could read my fortune by studying your face?"

"Ayy. Chill. We are bros! Come on! If you are a girl, I'd be marrying you! This sort of bond will last for eternity! I'd swear that we will always be the best of friends even in the next life!" said Fatty Han as he pushed his unborn son to be a candidate for Zhang Yang's daughter.

His wife's expected date was roughly two months later. He had already done every possible scan and health checks on her and had confirmed that the child will be a fat little boy. After Fatty Han found that Zhang Yang's child was a girl, he had immediately "booked" a spot for him. How could he not? That daughter was the child of both Zhang Yang and the super-hot Luo Yu Rou! The possibility of her being the next top model in the world was so high!

"Alright. Enough with my daughter. I want to know, what about the Celestial tier boss? How are we going at it? Has a strategy been formulated? Update, please."

"It's bad. You might want to sit down first." Hundred Shots sighed heavily and continued. "Kenzack was not alone. He was accompanied by Baa'ljilr the Imposter, an Ascended tier boss. Together, they had proven to be undefeatable. Their combined DPS power was too strong that no guild could do it alone."

"I even formed an alliance with Crimson Rage and Imperial Sky but failed even after numerous attempts. We lasted for 8 minutes. That is the longest time we could hold for before everyone is killed.

Zhang Yang sulked and frowned.

"Is it that hard?"

"Well. From a certain point of view. Now that the big boss is back in play, things might get easier now!" said Lost Dream.

"And…why is that?"

"See for yourself!"

The party gathered and headed towards Anthylor. Once they arrived, the team summoned out their mounts and soared towards a canyon that had never been around the vicinity. There, under the shadow of the canyon were the demon army. The sounds of battle could be heard from the top of the canyon when Zhang Yang descended lower. Countless of players could be seen fighting the demon army. One thing that piqued Zhang Yang's interest was the fact that all players there were from China. None of the players from other regions were present.

"I see that only players from China fighting. Why aren't any players from other regions fighting?"

"Case in point. We haven't lost any major cities, have we not? While other regions had lost one or two. When there are still demon armies occupying the cities of other regions, there will be a debuff inflicted on all players around the globe. The debuff increases all damage taken by 10 folds! While we don't need to reclaim any cities, the other players from other regions are busy with theirs. Hence, there are no players from other regions." Endless Starlight explained.

Zhang Yang understood the scenario and nodded. No wonder the system had made the announcement. Only by reclaiming all major cities will the players be allowed to fight Kenzack. If even one city is occupied by the demons, all players will receive 10 times the usual damage. With that buff, there was no wonder why Lone Desert Smoke could not handle an Ascended tier boss. He had been upgraded to a Celestial tier power!

Standing in the center of the canyon was a supermassive demon. Like all demons, he had a bat-like wings and a long tail. Unlike all demons, however, that one was several hundred meters tall and wielded a long blade was the same height as he. One single swing of his blade could level a mountain!

[Demon Lord Kenzack] (Celestial, Demon)

Level: 250

HP: 25,000,000,000

Defense: 62,718

Melee Attack: 691,686 – 891,686

Magic Attack: 409,046 – 509,046

Skills:

[Cleave: Swings the massive blade and deals 100% melee physical damage to all targets within 100 meters in the frontal direction.

[Thousand Summon: Summons 1,000 Demon Soldier from the Netherworld and fight in his stead.

[Demonic Bond: Swallows a demon and restore 1% HP. Recovery rate cannot be affected by any skills.

[Shadow Arrow: Shots a True Shadow Arrow to a target and deals 200% magic Shadow damage.

[Void Blast: Explodes a powerful void bomb and deals 800,000 Shadow damage to all targets within 300 meters.

[No Escape: Once a player enters 300 meters distance from Kenzack, players will be inflicted with the buff. Once a player goes 300 meters away from Kenzack, they will be killed immediately without mercy.

[Death Mark: Once a player was killed by Kenzack, they will be inflicted with the debuff. Players will carry the debuff even after death and cannot get close to Kenzack for as far as 300 meters. Those who step within the range will die instantly. Debuff will last for 72 hours.

Note: The most powerful Demon ever existed. A true undefeatable entity. Even though Kenzack ranked the last amongst the Nine Demon Lords, his powers and capabilities were unrivaled with anyone else.

It has been a long time since Zhang Yang last laid eyes upon a boss that had so many skills. As expected of a Celestial boss. What a drag. Standing by his side, was a smaller Demon, but was larger than regular Demon Soldiers. It was Baa'ljilr the Imposter.

[Baa'ljilr the Imposter] (Ascended, Demon)

Level: 250

HP: 12,500,000,000

Defense: 38,545

Melee Attack: 386,830 – 466,830

Skills:

[Demon Amplification: Consumes 5% HP and grants 100% attack to Kenzack. Cooldown: 20 seconds.

[Demonic Bond: Swallows a Demon and restores 10% HP.

Note: The master of disguise. The god of trickery and deception. Loyal to only the Demon Lord Kenzack.

Compared to the Celestial tier boss, Baa'ljilr the Imposter was nothing but a punching bag. Besides his regular attacks, there were not many offensive skills. However, the problem was his supporting skills. With Baa'ljilr the Imposter by Kenzack's side, his presence was a powerful catalyst that could greatly improve Kenzack's prowess.

{Demon Amplification} is the most troublesome skills. Despite having no offensive skills, Baa'ljilr the Imposter serves as a powerful supporter of Kenzack. Although the skill will consume Baa'ljilr's HP, it was completely negligible since Kenzack could summon a bunch of Demons for them so "nom nom" on. They could kill every player there simply by eating demons and slicing up everyone.

Worst of all, players that are killed cannot return to fight within 3 days! No wonder players from China had spent over 30 days to fight the boss! They could not even come close to even leave a wound on the OP as sh*t boss! The power level was too much for them!

The most obvious choice would be to first kill Baa'ljilr the Imposter. After that, players would have to eliminate all the summoned demons out to prevent Kenzack from restoring his health. That required the skill to have long cooldown time and players to have superb killing abilities.

Despite having a long HP bar, Baa'ljilr the Imposter would not last long if players coordinate to kill all the Demons summoned. That, and they would have to last for 20 uses of {Demon Amplification}. 20 uses of the skill will consume 100% of his HP, killing himself.

"How long are the boss' skills cooldown? I want to know each and every one of them." Said Zhang Yang.

"Alright. Demonic Bond, 5 seconds once."

"Void Blast, 2 seconds once."

"Demon Amplification, 30 seconds once."

…

The summoning skill had a minute long cooldown. Despite having such a long cooldown time, players would wipe out all the summoned demon in a flash. At most, the boss could only use {Demonic Bond} once. That was under the assumption that all the players around were strong and cooperative.

If they were neither, the boss might be able to restore his HP more than once. If they are unable to kill Baa'ljilr the Imposter with haste, Kenzack would receive his buff and cause the mass killing of all players around.

Everyone knew that defeating the boss was without hope, yet they were still charging in aimlessly. The reason was as plain as daylight. They were all enticed by the Celestial loot.

"I see what you mean on why I could turn the tables around. You were all waiting for my skill, the {Gates of Hell}!

"Right on!" said Lost Dream which led to everyone else to nod in unison.

Zhang Yang was not afraid of the boss having summoning skills. In fact, after gaining the skill {Gates of Hell}, he welcomes them with open arms. When the boss summons monsters, especially lower tier once, his skills would allow him to summon a similar Level elite tier Demon for every target killed!

Zhang Yang started calculating the battle and smiled confidently. "I think, we might have a shot at winning!"

An Elite tier monster would have at least 100 million HP. Hence, even though the Celestial tier boss was strong, he would take close to 2 minutes to kill a single Elite tier monster. Another factor that contributed to their winning was Kenzack's size. Each Elite tier of that Level would have a certain level of attack power. Coupled with his massive size, all the demons summoned by Zhang Yang could surround Kenzack easily and the numbers of them that could attack would be higher than a hundred. In the two minutes it takes for one demon to die, the demons could dish out a considerably high amount of damage.

Zhang Yang began to discuss the battle plans. At then, there were many of other unknown guilds that had tried their own luck at the boss. However, despite all sort of battle plans and strategies being implemented, they could not defeat the boss. Those that chose to kill Baa'ljilr first managed to survive until Kenzack had over 60% HP left. Those that chose to ignore Baa'ljilr could not go any lower than 95% HP.

Zhang Yang waited until the guilds who failed left the canyon. At then, most of the players had left and were only grinding normally outside of the canyon.

Before Zhang Yang's return to the game, Lone Desert Smoke had sortied their own attack forces not too long ago. All of them were bearing the debuff on them and had to wait for one more day to disappear.

Lone Desert Smoke was not the only guild that was bearing the mark. In fact, almost all of China's players had the mark on them as well. Since the time taken for them to reattempt to kill the boss was three days, so they could not spare any time wasted on other things. Once the mark expires, they will return to the canyon again and fight for their chance to defeat the boss, with or without a miracle.

They were all rushing desperately, not just because of the Celestial loot, but also because they taking the opportunity of other players of other regions being busy with their city reclaiming wars. In the next 20 days or so, Europe, India, North America would have already completed reclaiming all their fallen cities. By then, China would not be the only region to fight Kenzack. If they prolong the fight for too long, there will be players from all 4 regions fighting for the boss!

It was a golden opportunity and even Zhang Yang realized its importance.

One day after, and all of Lone Desert Smoke was ready to fight Kenzack again. Mountain Mover made his move and mobilized 20 Type IV War Chariots. Sadly, even though War Chariots were powerful tools, they would last only as long as 60 to 70 seconds. However, it was a crucial investment, since it would help Lone Desert Smoke deal a substantial amount of damage to Baa'ljilr. Killing Baa'ljilr was the first step to their master plan, after all!

As long as Baa'ljilr could be killed, the chances of defeating Kenzack would rise. Without Baa'ljilr dying, not even a miracle would help Lone Desert Smoke defeat Kenzack.

The entire guild gathered around the canyon, and with the command from Mountain Mover, the entire guild moved towards the boss.

"Kill these lowly beings." Kenzack had not needed to raise his head. He was merely languishing his arms crossed and could sense the guild's presence from as far as a thousand meters away. One swift {Cleave} was cast immediately and Zhang Yang was the first to intercept it. Compared to his long and tanky HP, one prickly little {Cleave} was insignificant to him.

Zhang Yang initiate the first attack and started the Celestial tier boss fight.

Chapter 835: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The fight with Kenzack was far harder than the first Celestial tier boss, Angus. The main reason was due to the fact that Angus was alone, while Kenzack was accompanied by an Ascended tier supporter.

However, after factoring in all the players strength and the boss' skill, the fight with Kenzack was apparently, much easier!

Angus was tougher to defeat, due to several reasons. The main reason was the level gap between players and the boss. None of them were even Level 190 when they were fighting Angus. That, and the fact that Angus had a recovery skill that was a bloody hack! Weak players could not even get close to Angus without being killed and heal him in return.

Secondly, during that period, Ascended tier boss was still a rarity. Hence, Zhang Yang could not farm much-Ascended tier equipment to increase his prowess. Zhang Yang was underpowered, let alone the rest of the world. At then, the true fighters were the 8 major cities Ascended tier bosses. Players were only there to be random side characters. Fighting Kenzack, on the other hand, was all players and no NPCs. The quest, or rather, the developers had recognized that players all around the globe had reached a certain level of prowess, that they could handle a Celestial tier boss without the aid of NPCs.

The fight began when Zhang Yang took a hit and landed a blow on Kenzack. Baa'ljilr the Imposter laughed and spread his arms out. A puff of red hue cloud appeared around Baa'ljilr and floated upwards. The cloud expanded into a large cloud which enveloped Kenzack.

{Demon Amplification}!

Kenzack, who was "chilling" at his own pace suddenly turned berserk. As if something had shot him with Adrenaline, the boss jumped to his feet and punched the ground beneath him, sending out countless of dark rays bursting out of the ground within 300 meters around him.

{Void Blast}!

With the boost provided by {Demon Amplification}, the skill had gained a boost and dealt more than 1,600,000 damage to all players. Luckily, many of the players had already activated their Transformation skills, granting them a certain chance to nullify magic attacks. Those without Transformation skill were all cramped inside War Chariots, allowing the 1.6 million damage to be evenly distributed among 50 players.

As for those players that could not find a place in a War Chariot, nor possess a Transformation skill, they were forced to sit the boss fight out. They could not even be a side character, dealing negligible damage, for they would die before they could even poke the boss. Literally.

Now that the formation was perfect and the plan was already in motion, Zhang Yang took the lead and allowed Mountain Mover to command the rest of the guild.

"KILL!"

Zhang Yang soared to the sky with his radiant wings spread out like a lighthouse in the dark ocean, guiding players to attack Baa'ljilr. Before he attacked Baa'ljilr, he had first landed a barrage of attacks on Kenzack. After filling up his Rage gauge, he turned to Baa'ljilr and launched an array of skills.

{Charge Up Strike}! {Sky Slicer}!

'-4,397,691'!

'-8,795,382'!

…

'-43,976,910'!

With the aid of everyone's powerful aura effects stacking on each other, Zhang Yang's attack skills had soared to more than 4 million. By the time it reached the 10th strike, the damage had reached a staggering 40 million damage. That, and the additional 10% Holy damage, totaling the damage to as high as 260,000,000!

"ARGH!" Baa'ljilr grunted painfully. He had already used 5% of his HP as a sacrifice to cast {Demon Amplification} on Kenzack. Coupled with the godlike damage inflicted by Zhang Yang, Baa'ljilr had lost around 7% HP in the first few seconds of the fight.

"WOAH! That's hax!" cried one of the guild members.

"It's not hax! Guild master would never use any stupid hacking program! He is just that strong!"

"I'd be d*mned! He could kill any player in the game now. He is unbeatable in PvP!"

200 million damage was indeed strong. It was even enough to kill himself if the opponent possessed any sort of skill that could reflect 100% damage back. Sadly, the skill {Sky Slicer} could only work on monsters. Against players, however, it would not be as efficient. Players could easily find a chance to stop the chain attack, preventing the damage from reaching the 10th strike. That, and an easy use of an Invulnerability skill.

Monsters would always be the lowest benchmark to test one's prowess as they were governed by software and their programming. A boss could have higher HP, higher attacks, more skills, or even faster cooldown rate, but they will always be bound to the aggro system. All in all, the boss was fated to die at the hands of Zhang Yang.

{Warrior's Will}! {Destructive Smash}!

'-2,985,678'!

Since Baa'ljilr's healing skill could be affected by skills, Zhang Yang had prioritized {Destructive Smash} on him to reduce his recovery rate to only 2.5% per use of {Demonic Bond}. As long as everyone focuses and responds swiftly when the 1,000 demons were summoned, they would kill all 1,000 of them in less than 5 seconds, limiting Baa'ljilr to only one use of healing. To put in all in the equation, every one minute, Baa'ljilr will "sacrifice" 7.5% HP per minute, hence, 13 minutes was all it would take for the party to kill Baa'ljilr.

However, if the battle is dragged on for 13 minutes, the entire party would be wiped out by Kenzack instead. A 100% attack boost is not something that could be ignored, coming from a Celestial tier boss.

With Mountain Mover commanding from afar, 20 counts of Type IV War Chariots headed towards Baa'ljilr. All crosshairs were targeted on Baa'ljilr alone. With a simple command, countless of skills blasted off the Chariots and landed on Baa'ljilr. Everyone, including Zhang Yang and his party, threw out all their skills with the sole aim of killing off Baa'ljilr as fast as they could.

Since all skills had a long cooldown; and stronger ones would have a longer cooldown, hence, the burst DPS could last for only a brief moment before it died down to normal attack rate. At most, they could keep up the firing for 70 seconds. That was the time limit. By then, all War Chariots would have been destroyed by the boss. Without the War Chariot HP sharing system, players without Transformation skills would not last for long. In fact, in less than 2 hits of {Void Blast}, they would die off easily.

"Foolish men. The great Demon race is not weak like the likes of you!" Kenzack spoke with a deep husky voice. He flicked his finger and summoned out 1,000 normal tier demons. Both Kenzack and Baa'ljilr then opened their mouths and two demons from the flock turned into a pile of bloody goo that got sucked into their mouths.

Zhang Yang smirked and immediately activated {Gates of Hell}.

A pair of large twin doors appeared from the ground with chains dangling from the side. Zhang Yang summoned the gates not too far from Kenzack and left it there as he rushed over to the summoned demons to give them a good {Horizontal Sweep} to their face. All that faced him were immediately turned into ashes. Their souls seeped out of their burned corpses and flew towards the {Gates of Hell}. With that single strike of {Horizontal Sweep}, Zhang Yang had killed 16 demons and summoned out 16 Elite tier Armageddon Harbinger to aid him in battle.

"What is this?" cried Kenzack when he saw the demons that Zhang Yang had summoned were attacking him. With rage, he bellowed with disbelief. "Human, how dare you enslave the demon race! I shall have your head and fashion your skull as my candle stand!"

Kenzack swung his gigantic blade so fast that the area behind the blade became a vacuum. After a split second, the air was pulled towards him so violently that the earth was ripped out of the ground like papers in a storm.

"Heed my call, Demons! I am your lord! Obey me!" cried Kenzack as he tried to assume control over the demons that Zhang Yang had summoned through the {Gates of Hell}. However, unlike the Spectres, each demon would have their own conscience and showed no signs of rebelling Zhang Yang.

Not only were the demons were not listening to Kenzack, they were also attacking him since Kenzack was spamming {Void Blast}. Hence, as the number 1 target in their aggro system, the Harbingers were all targeting Kenzack alone.

"Imbeciles! This is blasphemy! How dare you attack your lord! Die! Treacherous demons!" Now that the Harbingers were attacking Kenzack, the aggro on Zhang Yang started to diminish greatly to point where Kenzack was no longer targeting Zhang Yang.

Even though the boss was strong, he was still a monster that is governed by the aggro system. Unless there is a special setting, the boss will always attack those who have the higher aggro. Zhang Yang had only needed to grab the aggro from time to time to help increase the survivability of the summoned Harbingers. That, and to prevent Kenzack from healing himself. Even though each Harbinger could last only for a little while, Zhang Yang was not bothered by the expendables.

That was only the first summoned wave. Everyone was proactive enough to let Zhang Yang be the only player to attack the boss' summoned units. Even though Zhang Yang alone could clear all 1,000 monsters, he would have to wait until he has over 3 EP to use {God of War Crushing Strike}, by then, Baa'ljilr had already swallowed the second demon and gained another 2.5% HP.

Still, even he had lost 3 demons out of the 1,000 summoned ones, and it was a worthy trade. Zhang Yang killed all the remaining 996 demons around and turned them all into his own soldiers. All the demons first targeted Kenzack. However, even though he was huge, there was a limit as to how many Harbingers could attack him at the same time. Hence, those that could not get into range changed their targets to Baa'ljilr instead.

It was the system's setting. If a character is unable to attack the first aggro target due to geological or terrain influence, the character will the moved towards the second aggro target instead. However, if there is a moment where an attack is possible on the first aggro target, the character will then automatically abandon the second target.

After restoring a total of 5% HP from eating two demons, Baa'ljilr had not managed to retain his HP. Although, technically he had only lost the HP that he used to cast {Demon Amplification}, but the party's DPS was strong enough to hack away Baa'ljilr's HP down to 90% in a blink of an eye.

After 70 seconds, Kenzack summoned the second batch of thousand demons.

{God of War Crushing Strike}!

Zhang Yang Strength points was boosted up to 54,232 points with the help from Wei Yan Er {Strength Aura}. Hence, the damage dealt by {God of War Crushing Strike} was as high as 540,000, enough to kill every single normal tier demon around the vicinity. Since both the bosses had opened their mouths at the very instance the demons were summoned, only a total of 998 demons were killed and 998 Harbingers were summoned.

Just when Kenzack had cleared one-third of the "rebellious" demons, Zhang Yang had sent a whole new batch to him. How could one compare? Kenzack had only the ability to summon 1,000 normal tier demons, yet a human could summon about the same number of Elite tier demons out of thin air! Which one is the real demon lord, then? Zhang Yang? Or Kenzack!?

The previous batch of Harbingers had split into two factions where those that were unable to attack Kenzack had moved to attack Baa'ljilr. Hence, when the newly summoned Harbingers came in, all of them went on to attack Baa'ljilr instead, further increasing the overall DPS on Baa'ljilr.

Crash!

All 20 Type IV War Chariots were destroyed by Kenzack. Losing the protection from the War Chariots, all 1,000 players that were mounted on the Chariots were left unprotected. Sadly, the boss had killed all of them with two hits of {Void Blast}. That is the true prowess of a Celestial boss. Without a certain level of strength and HP, players are not meant to fight a Celestial tier boss.

However, even though losing 1,000 player's worth of DPS, Baa'ljilr was clearly fated to die. Even though Baa'ljilr had his own unique A.I to control his speech, his skills were not controlled like a player. Once the cooldown was completed, Baa'ljilr will use his skill without fail. Hence, he was inevitably killing himself. Each time he uses {Demon Amplification} he will hack away his own HP. Hence, like the players and the demons that are summoned by Kenzack, Baa'ljilr was dying, rather quickly too at that.

Sadly, the player's side was also facing a similar threat by Kenzack. 100% attack boost was not something that healers could keep up with. They could, if there were 100 players like Han Ying Xue, possessing a powerful healer type S class Inheritance. But, there is only one Han Ying Xue, and she could never heal the damage dealt by Kenzack.

Everyone was merely surviving due to their powerful HP boost granted by their Inheritance Transformations. The fate of the boss fight now lay on how fast could Zhang Yang and his merry little guild kill off Baa'ljilr. The sooner, the better.

{Thousand Summon}! {Demonic Bond}!

{God of War Crushing Strike}!

As soon as Kenzack summons his demons, Zhang Yang would eliminate all of them with {God of War Crushing Strike}. The third wave of 998 Elite tier Harbinger was sent to the bosses again, and they were just in time to fill in the gaps in the first wave. The continuous DPS cycle was astonishingly fast.

5 minutes later, with the second combo of {Charge Up Strike} and {Sky Slicer}, Baa'ljilr was killed.

Chapter 836: Killing the Celestial tier Boss

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Well…to say that a Level 250 elite tier monster is strong…would be circumstantial. At most, their DPS level would be as only around 70,000. Based on their damage, they would not be a match to a Level 250 player with a full Ethereal gear. On the other hand, when fighting a boss, the ability to deal high damage and ANY damage at all would make all the difference in determining the victor.

As mentioned, Kenzack's {Void Blast} was an AoE powerful skill. Those without Transformations could not come close to the boss. Even with super-powered attacks, one would die without the ability to take several hits from that.

Elite monsters were different. Their HP would be as high as 125,000,000. They would last for as long as 3 minutes without healing while fighting the boss.

Hence, the ultimate rule of war: Only the living can be useful!

When Baa'ljilr was killed, Kenzack's attack plummeted without the support from {Demon Amplification}. Hence, the Harbingers that were summoned could now last as long as 5 minutes. Even though not all of the Harbingers could attack at the same time, as many as 300 could, since Kenzack was mother*ckingly huge.

Within 20 minutes of the active duration of {Gates of Hell}, the total summoned Harbinger could provide as high as 25.2 billion DPS. Bear in mind that Kenzack had only over 25 billion HP. Of course, the boss had the ability to restore his HP, but was only limited to 1% HP every minute, since Zhang Yang would eliminate all the summon demons at the very second they pop out. 1% HP would be 250,000,000. Hence, 20 minutes would be 5,000,000,000 HP. That was an amount that Zhang Yang and his entire party could handle without breaking a sweat.

In terms of DPS, Zhang Yang's party would have made the past the requirements by a long shot. The problem was their endurance. If Baa'ljilr is not killed soon, they would have 100% lost the fight, even with the help from {Gates of Hell}.

When Baa'ljilr was killed, the entire party's HP was fluctuating at around 10% HP. Han Ying Xue was forced to use {Milkmaid Deity's Ripple} to fully restore everyone's HP. It was only then they could pull through the hurdle. Any slower, Baa'ljilr would have cast one more {Demon Amplification}, allowing Kenzack to kill most of the players in sight. After Han Ying Xue's massive milk splatters, other healers were able to out their best to heal everyone else.

Since none of the summoned harbingers could last longer than 5 minutes, Zhang Yang was targeted when the front ones were killed by Kenzacl. Chains of skills were blasted on him, followed by the AoE {Void Blast}, causing Zhang Yang to take extreme damage. Just as the AoE skills were strong, the single target skills were even deadlier!

Kenzack was a rare kind of boss that had both magic and physical attack abilities. His skills, {Shadow Arrow} and {Cleave} did not share the same cooldown. Hence, when the boss could use {Cleave} with his right hand, he could also blast out {Shadow Arrow} with his right. Both of the skills had only 2 seconds of cooldown. Coupled with {Void Blast}, the total DPS of Kenzack on Zhang Yang was around 1 million. It was almost the same or even stronger than Zhang Yang's own DPS.

A boss' strength would not come from a single target skill, but his AoE skills. The more allies you bring, the deadlier the boss would be.

HOWEVER! Even if the boss is super strong, 1 million DPS would take 200 seconds to kill Zhang Yang. With Han Ying Xue's super jugs and the other healers around, it would take much longer than 200 seconds to kill Zhang Yang.

"Is it just me, or that we are really going to win this fight?"

"Hell yea!"

"What a day, just when I just popped my cherry with my girlfriend, we are going to kill a Celestial tier boss as well! What a day!"

"Hahaha! Is it a girl, or a blow up doll that I saw in your purchase history from Amazon Prime?"

"Shut up!"

Even though they had all fought Angus before, it did not count as the First Kill record since most of the damage was on the NPCs instead of players. Even though Zhang Yang was there all the time to attack, he did not manage to get the First Kill Achievement. Things were different then, even though he had the help from the summoned Harbinger, they were all but the product of his summoning skills. They were all considered to be an attacking character, branching out of Zhang Yang.

It would seem that Lone Desert Smoke was going for the kill. While they were getting close to it by the minute, the other players from other seven regions were too busy with their own matters.

There were almost no players around the canyon then, but they were not wasting time sitting down idly. Initially, they all thought that Lone Desert Smoke was going to be just another guild that was bound to fail the fight. In fact, for the past month, players in the forum had been on a heated discussion about which guild in the world could be the first to kill Kenzack. Before Lone Desert Smoke stepped into the ring, all guilds that had ever challenged Kenzack had failed with absolute certainty. When Lone Desert Smoke had managed to kill off Baa'ljilr, players that were observing the fight had realized that Lone Desert Smoke did have a chance to kill Kenzack.

Without delay, they had immediately summoned all their friends and guild maters to gather at the canyon. Even though they would never have the privilege to loot the boss drops, they could at least deal a speck of damage to the boss to have their name recorded along with the First Kill Achievement. It was a feat that could be bragged about in the future! Imagine picking up chicks and showing them your name along with other players that were involved in killing the first Celestial boss!

Sadly, it was just a pipe dream. As mentioned before, without the HP boost from Transformation skills, there was no hope for random players to approach the boss without dying first.

Losing the powerful attack buff, Kenzack had also lost the tide of war, even though his own basic damage was strong. On Zhang Yang's side, however, they had the best equipment sets in the entire game. Even his party members were equipped with at least one article of Celestial tier equipment! The rest were all equipped with Ascended tier equipment and had the overall DPS of a warring nation! As such, in less than 10 minutes, Kenzack had lost over 49% HP!

"This is not going well for us. Lone Desert Smoke might take the First Kill!"

"Call all professional players in the guild. We might stand a chance!"

"No. All of our strong players had just fought the boss yesterday and failed. They would have to wait for 2 more days until the mark expires."

"What are you saying? Are you telling me to sit down here helplessly as Lone Desert Smoke takes the first ever Celestial tier boss First Kill?"

"Do you have any other bright ideas?"

A minor dispute began amongst the other bystanders. However, no matter how many plans they could chug out, they had no way of countering {Void Blast} without a War Chariot or Transformation skill. Come 1 or 1 million, their fate would still be the same.

40%...30%...20%...

By then, Kenzack had reached both the berserk state and the vulnerable state.

With rage, his attack speed rose. As a demon lord, he was surrounded by his own kind and was about to be killed by humans!

The boss' skill spamming rate was increased to 1 second at a time! However, that was the limit. It was not possible for the skill to have a higher speed.

As such, the entire guild survivability had dropped once more to when the boss had the attack buff. The healing rate of all healers was not able to hold. Many players started knocking on death's door.

Luckily, the summoned Harbinger were rather tanky enough to last for 2 and a half minutes. Since the boss' own summoned demons were useless, to begin with, Zhang Yang alone had no problems killing the boss. The cycle of Harbingers being killed and replaced at the front line would last until the boss dies!

As time passed by the seconds, more and more players were killed. Basically, almost 95% players had already used their life preserving skills during the fight with Baa'ljilr. All of them were still in a cooldown phase and could not do anything to resist the grasp of death.

From a few hundred Transformed Lone Desert Smoke players, they were all left with less than 30 players now. The boss was still left with over 11% HP.

Zhang Yang frowned and immediately unleashed {Shadow Clone} and consumed an {Amateur Fire Power Transmuted Grade 10} potion.

{Charge Up Strike}! {Sky Slicer}!

With the help of his shadow clones, Zhang Yang's {Sky Slicer} skill was able to reach 200% its original power, dealing as much as 500 million damage.

"ARGH! DIRTY PESTS! DIE!"

Such a powerful damage was as equivalent to 2% of his HP. Like all beings that are close to death, the boss started to attack without restraint. All skills had only a 1-second interval rate and that was a rather fatal threat to Zhang Yang then.

Fearing the worse, Zhang Yang cried at the top of his lungs. "Do not slow down! Focus on attacking and attacking alone!"

The rest of the core party members nodded their heads and stopped trying to evade skills. All skills, MP and EP alike were used up to cast all sort of skills to end the boss.

9%...7%...4%...

"It's so close!"

"Well, don't stop now!"

"I can smell it! I can smell the Celestial tier scent in the air!"

Compared to the excitement of Lone Desert Smoke members, the rest of the bystanders had lost their color in their face. Unlike the supporting allies like Crimson Rage, other China players were rather envious of Lone Desert Smoke and were even willing to trade their life to prevent Lone Desert Smoke from killing the boss!

There was a saying. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Yet, if they fail to attain it, they would seek to destroy it.

That was what the bystanders were thinking then. However, no matter how much negativity they would muster, Kenzack was killed successfully.

"I will return. I will be back. I am but returning to the arms of the true King of Demons. I will be back. 100 years or 10,000 years…I shall be back to lay waste upon his wretched land. Mark….my…words…." With his last words, the massive giant falls to the ground, crashing like a towering structure and bursting out radiant loots.

'Ding! Congratulations for being the first in the game to kill an Open World Celestial tier boss! Your glorious deeds shall forever be recorded in the Hall of Fame. Please key in your party name for the whole world to know!'

When the system notification popped out and the input box was showed to Zhang Yang, he quickly inserted the regular advertisement he so often used and called out for Wei Yan Er. "Little brat! Get the loots and let's bail!"

"I'm one step ahead of you!" cried Wei Yan Er as she had already picked up more than half of the loot.

After submitting the name input, the server channel flashed with red texts to inform all players across all regions of the feat.

Players from China were constantly observing the fight and had prepared for the sad news. On the other hand, players of other regions were gravely saddened. Regions like North America, Europe, and India had only one city left to reclaim! However, they would still need at least 20 days to have the authority to fight Kenzack, then. Although it was speculated, none could predict that China would be the first to kill Kenzack before them!

Say bye bye to Celestial tier set equipment…

With a quick command, Zhang Yang ordered everyone in the guild that was still alive to teleport to Anthylor. Players that were rushing over from Anthylor had arrived a few seconds too late. Even though they could not fight the boss, they could still kill players! They might still have a chance to get their hands on Celestial tier equipment if they manage to kill Zhang Yang and his team!

However, when they saw Zhang Yang's silhouette, they could only catch a glimpse of his smug grin before he disappeared with a beam of light. Zhang Yang had returned to Anthylor, a place where PvP is restricted.

Chapter 837: Goddess of War Scion Form

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

"Hurry! Give it! Give it!"

When everyone had returned to the Holy City, all eyes were locked on Wei Yan Er, as she was the only person then that was holding all of Kenzack's drops.

The little girl fidgeted around shyly and blushed. "Erhm…Please don't stare at me like that. I'm bashful, you know?"

At that moment, everyone that was close to Wei Yan Er was on the urge of actually vomiting in their mouth. Bashful? Really? If Wei Yan Er knew shame, the sun would rise from the north and sets in the south!

Zhang Yang laughed till his tummy ached a little. He wiped his tears away and laughed as he said, "Please stop making us laugh. It's time for our prizes!"

"Okay…Just…don't stare at me. I aware of my own beauty."

Wei Yan Er opened her inventory U.I and pulled out a cape that shone with the colors of the rainbow. She then passes it to Han Ying Xue.

"Cousin sister, this is yours!"

It was a Celestial tier set equipment part, [God of Life's Glory Cape].

As per discussed, those who already possessed one piece of the set equipment will have the priority, in order to complete the set equipment to further increase the party's strength by completing the set equipment as soon as they can. Hence, Han Ying Xue, who already possessed [God of Life's Glory Heels, had received the cape and was able to activate the first set equipment set effect. That is, "Grants a 20% chance to repeat a conjured spell after casting."

"Sister Sun! This is yours!" Wei Yan Er took out another cape and gave it to Sun Xin Yu.

"Uncle! This is yours," she handed one to Hundred Shots.

"Pervy Dream!"

…

All of the Celestial tier set equipment loot from Kenzack were all Capes. Those who had obtained their first set equipment had also obtained their second part which allowed all of them to activate their first set effects.

"This is mine!" cried Wei Yan Er as she wrapped a cape around her neck whilst jumping around happily. "I look so cool!"

"Well? Don't stop there."

After taking the 6th cape, Wei Yan Er pulled out the 7th and gave it to Endless Starlight. "Pervy Star boy. Take it. It's specially made for Sacred Knights. Hmph. Consider yourself lucky!"

"Woohoo!" cried Endless Starlight with joy as he was the only Sacred Knight in the main and secondary party.

While everyone else was waiting patiently, Fatty Han could not take it anymore and sulked. "Where's mine…"

Hundred Shots and Fatty Han were the same class, hence, it was inevitable that when it comes to equipment distribution, there will be a conflict between the two of them. During the first round of equipment distribution, Hundred Shots had won the roll for the Celestial tier set equipment. Hence, he had the priority for the second Celestial tier set equipment as well. Sadly, there was nothing he could do then but to bully Endless Starlight to release his pent up stress.

The 8th Celestial tier set equipment was a Cryomancer type, which was passed to Cheng Xue Yao. She was still unable to equip it, as her level was still low.

Zhang Yang was still empty handed then. "Hey…is there any for Guardians?"

"Hmph…? Let me check…Tch…tch…tch…" said Wei Yan Er as she pretended to fake a disappointed expression. Zhang Yang knew that she was lying, since her eyes were moving left and right. If she is playing poker, she would have lost the game in the first round. Zhang Yang decided to humor the little girl and walked away from her with his head down. As such, the little girl felt happy that she had succeeded at "tricking" Zhang Yang by fooling him. She laughed, tapped his shoulders and gave him a cape. "Haha! You stupid brother-in-law! This little lady has just bamboozled you!"

Zhang Yang took the cape and faked a grateful face before having the cap identified, immediately on the spot. It would make no difference for him to have the cape identified by an NPC or the scroll, since the price would be the same.

[God Killer Cape] (Celestial, Cape)

Vitality: 25730

Strength: 3312

Dexterity: 3312

{Level 8 Socket}

Equip: Increases maximum HP by 51,460.

Equip: Increases damage dealt and healing rate by 15%

Equip: Absorbs 2,918 damage from attack.

Use: Receives the Divine Ichor and gains immunity and invulnerability for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 30 minutes.

Class Requirement: Guardian

Level Requirement: 250

Special: Level Requirement reduced by 30 Levels.

God Killer Set Equipment (2/8) Completion.

Two Equip Effect: Increases your Damage reduction passive effect by 20%.

A 20% damage reduction passive boost!

In a shielded status, Zhang Yang damage reduction passive was at 40%. With the use of {God of War Shield} he would gain up to 60%! After reaching Level 220, the skill {Rock Solid} was maxed out to Level 10. After being enhanced by the [Book of Revelation] the skill increased Defense value was boosted to 150%, and 30% damage reduction boost. In conclusion, without {Shield Wall}, Zhang Yang would gain something as high as a 90% damage reduction!

By then, activating {Shield Wall} would be meaningless, since the damage reduction effect provided by the skill would not add to the previous number, but multiply it to the previous number. I.e. 1-0.1 x 25% = 97.5% of damage reduction.

Zhang Yang had successfully increased his Defense with just an addition of a Celestial tier equipment! That's how powerful a Celestial tier set equipment is! Broken? Heck yeah it is!

With Zhang Yang being the last to claim, all of the Celestial tier set equipment parts had been distributed. There was a total of seven players who had activated their second set equipment set effects. They were Zhang Yang, Han Ying Xue, Sun Xin Yu, Wei Yan Er, Daffodil Daydream, Lost Dream, and Hundred Shots.

Cheng Xue Yao and Endless Starlight had received a piece of the Celestial tier set equipment. One more Celestial boss like Kenzack, and they might receive a second part to activate their set effects.

Besides the nine pieces of set equipment, Kenzack had also dropped four regular Celestial tier equipment. Naturally, they were all given to those without Celestial tier set equipment, like Fatty Han and Galileo.

As for the random items, 17 [Skill Point Crystals] were distributed accordingly. 12 [Advance Aura Stone] and two [Forbidden Scrolls] were stored in the guild storage. Seven skills books were up for rolls. There were also 12 [Advance Demonic Pearls] found, and were all stored in the guild storage.

Sitting quietly in the corner of Wei Yan Er was one black colored crystal rock that had an irregular shape. It was not smooth, and had several perfectly cut edges all over the rock. Wei Yan Er took out the crystal and showed it to Zhang Yang.

"This thing is weird. This piece of rock does not have an item name nor a description. Could it be a random bug?"

Felice jumped out of Zhang Yang's Battle Companion U.I and cried out. "Big brother!" She instinctively reached out her right hand to grab the crystal but immediately retracted her hands.

"Oh ho? Little Felice wants this? I'll give it to you then. Just greet me nicely!" said Wei Yan Er with her chest held up high.

"Big Sister. Can I have that crystal?" said Felice with her most earnest tone ever, which made Wei Yan Er so happy, even though Felice was clearly taller and older than her.

Zhang Yang felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Could the crystal rock be a catalyst to unlocking Felice's third seal?

"Here you go! What a nice girl!" Wei Yan Er patted Felice's head.

Felice took the crystal in her hands and placed it close to her chest. The black, soot-like crystal then gave out a blinding light that immediately encased Felice into a large, egg-like structure that was as tall as Zhang Yang.

"F*ck yeah! Finally!" said Zhang Yang to himself. The crystal was to unlock Felice's third seal! Zhang Yang was breathing raggedly as he was excited to see how strong would Felice be. Could she have another form to transform into? Could she gain growth rate? All that would have to wait until she hatches out of the egg.

With the weird, egg-like structure sitting idly in the center of a busy city, many players could not help but examine the thing. It was sticking out like a sore thumb! Luckily, PvP or any attack was restricted in the city. Hence, besides Zhang Yang, others had could not select the egg to view its description.

Everyone lingered a little while to see what the egg would do, but left after waiting for several hours. Zhang Yang decided to loiter around Anthylor until something happens. Lo and behold, after three days of random activities around the city, a bright light shone brightly from where the egg was, and Zhang Yang could spot it from the other end of the city. Zhang Yang was around the auction house when he noticed the bright light. He then immediately closed the U.I and sped towards the egg. Halfway through the city, Zhang Yang could see Felice soaring in the sky in her Dragonhawk form.

"Big brother!" she cried happily and she shot down towards Zhang Yang at breakneck speed. Right before she landed, she morphed back into her human form and made a crack on the tiles in front of Zhang Yang.

"I missed you, Felice!" Zhang Yang caressed Felice's forehead and quickly examines her properties.

The most obvious change that she had was that her Star Growth rate had increased to 13 Stars!

[Felice] (Humanoid)

Level: 222

HP: 6,298,830 (With Vitality Aura)

Defense: 34,900

Melee Attack: 442,688 – 542,688

Skills:

[Blazing Dragon's Spear: Deals 200% melee Fire damage to a target. Requirement: Melee Weapon. Cooldown: 1 second. Cost: 50 Energy.

[Dragon's Spear Barrage: Deals 300% melee physical damage to a target and had a 30% chance to stun for 5 seconds. Effective on Boss monsters with lower success rate. Requirement: Melee Weapon. Cooldown: 1 minute. Cost: 50 Energy.

[Absolute Defense: Gains 99% damage reduction passive for 2 minutes. Cooldown: 4 hours. Skill can only be used in human form. Will be ineffective in other forms.

[Dragonhawk Form, [Spectral Tiger Form, [Tree of Life Form]

[Goddess of War Scion Form: Transcends humanity and gains the primordial form of the Goddess of War. Gains 300% attack damage and all attacks will have Chaos attribute. Increases 300% Defense and 2000% HP boost. All skills available in human form will also be available during the Goddess of War Scion Form. Lasts for 2 hours. Cooldown: 72 hours. Activating the Goddess of War Scion Form will trigger all Dragonhawk Berserk, Spectral Tiger Berserk, and Tree of Life Transformation cooldowns.

(Fourth Seal)

Note: Player Zhan Yu's Battle Companion.

What a deadly upgrade…

Without Transformation, Zhang Yang had only roughly 5,340,000 HP. That was with two Celestial tier set equipment in hand, yet he was still weaker than an Ascended tier Felice! It was all mainly due to her Growth stat being at 13 Stars! One Vitality point would grant her 13 points of HP instead of a player's usual 10 HP! The {Vitality Aura} provided by Zhang Yang will stack on that hence, giving Felice the ability to gain 18 HP per Vitality stat.

It was then obvious that after the fourth and final seals are broken, Felice would gain the Celestial tier and gain a 14 Star growth or even 15, to reach the peak of what a Battle Companion could be.

Huhuhu. Celestial tier. A god like entity!

Sadly, there were not more forms after the third seal. Instead, Felice had gained a Transformation for her human form. Her skills {Blazing Dragon Spear} and {Dragon Spear Barrage} had also gained a massive boost!

In the past, Zhang Yang had always had Felice to attack in her Dragonhawk form, since she could fly and her Fire-based attacks will ignore all Defense values. After the upgrade, Felice's human form had the highest DPS power, as well as the strongest Defense and highest HP limit.

To summarize it, Felice's human form will have 310,000 DPS, while her Dragonhawk form will have only 290,000. Based on the Defense value, both forms were about equal.

Chapter 838: Song of Despair

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

BANG!

Zhong Xiu Hua's fist had only made a tiny bump on the plastic table in his office. With rage, he lifted his right fist and slams it down again as if he was dissatisfied for not being able to break it. "How is Lone Desert Smoke taking all the good stuff in the game! How could we allow Lone Desert Smoke – no! How could be allow Zhang Yang to beat us!? US!? We are the Eternal Flame guild! Is th1is goes on, how are we going to be China's number one guild?"

Standing on the opposite side of the table were two grown men in their early adulthoods. They were Scholar Musou and Longrich. Both of them stood there like scarecrows, motionless as they could not muster up any excuses to answer Zhong Xiu Hua.

The atmosphere of the office grew heavier.

After a long silence, Scholar Musou finally found the courage to talk. "It…it's because Zhang Yang has the {Gates of Hell}. The skill had allowed him to fight the boss toe to toe. Without it, not even Zhang Yang's Defenses would hold on."

"Tell me something THAT I DON'T KNOW!" Zhong Xiu Hua screamed. "What am I hiring you for when all you do is give me excuses!"

Both Longrich and Scholar Musou clenched their fists. For the past few days, Eternal Flame finances had dried up. Zhong Xiu Hua had not been issuing his regular member's salary for more than a month. Still, it not for his "princely" social and politic status, the entire guild would have long been abandoned and disbanded.

When a guild is built using the attraction of money, it would be greatly impacted when the money stops coming in. Once the promised wages are delayed, people will start taking actions. One more month and the guild will eventually be empty, no matter how prominent the guild master may be.

Technically, in their current predicament, Eternal Flame stills stood amongst the top 5 guilds in China. With that standing, there should be companies seeking to be their sponsors. If that is the case, how did the finances suddenly go rogue? The reason was rather simple, actually. Eternal Flame's main sponsor was none other than Zhong Xiu Hua's own mother, the CEO of Hua Yi Trust Fund. Since the entire cooperation was facing problems in the real world, the sponsored monetary funds were cut off.

According to his mother, ever since the Trust Fund gone public, there was an unknown faction that had been buying up a large share of the company. The person was buying so many shares realized that his position was starting to threaten the authority of his mother. Hence, to prevent the liquidation of the company's shares, his month had been cutting off all outgoing fundings to counter the buyer.

That action was uncalled for but was inevitable. There was nothing that Zhong Xiu Hua could do to make things right. He was not talented in the game. He had been relying a lot on his members to do the deeds. As such, all the sponsored money that came in was shared with others but not himself. When the money stopped coming in from his own family side, he was cut off completely. That had made Zhong Xiu Hua incredibly angry.

"Master Zhong. This may sound harsh but, there is nothing we could do about Lone Desert Smoke nor Zhang Yang at the moment. If we would want Eternal Flame to burn brightly in all of China, there's only one way to do it," said Longrich.

"What ingenious idea have you come up with?" said Zhong Xiu Hua, trying to hold back his urge to punch anyone in the face.

"Kill. Murder."

Zhong Xiu Hua widened his eyes at the idea of killing. However, it did not take long before common sense kicked in. It was not his humanity, but the consequences of his action that might cause the Sun Family to meddle in his matters again like before. He will be facing with Sun Xin Yu's wrath if things get out of control. No matter what happens, he still had something to hold on to, he would not be willing to give up his life for someone like Zhang Yang!

"No. That's not efficient enough. I want finer method. I want to surgically remove Zhang Yang as a threat from my life!"

…

In the headquarters of Silky Soft Holdings. Zhang Yang's main office.

"Mr. Zhang. I have managed to procure another 20 billion dollars. This would allow us have more than 50% of all the share for Hua Yi Trust Funds," said a young man that was busy tapping on a digital calculator on Zhang Yang's desk.

"Very good." Zhang Yang nodded and swiveled his chair around. "Do report back to me when you have it done."

"Yes, sir," said the young man and he went back to his own world of digits and numerals.

Zhang Yang crossed his fingers and rested his chin on them. With a satisfied feeling in his guts, Zhang Yang smirked. Zhang Yang had played a risk. He had pulled out 70 billion dollars from his own company and borrowed 20 billion dollars from the bank, all for the sake of investing. No matter what it takes, he must have Hua Yi Trust Funds under him. That way, he will ultimately cut off all fundings of Zhong Xiu Hua.

Like a fierce lion that is defanged and declawed, Eternal Flame will, ironically, go up in flames. Like The Myth, the guild would never prosper when it is built up using money. By then, there would be no way for Zhong Xiu Hua to remain in the game.

…

The official site had released a new info along with a new update to the game. Along with the end of the Spectre Invasion and the Demon Descent patch, all Celestial tier bosses will be revealed to the world, allowing players to fight them openly.

Unlike the bosses of other races, the Nine Demon Lord and the Seven Spectre Kings were revealed to the world. Even though Angus and Kenzack are already killed, there will always be a new Celestial boss to replace their seats to keep the number of Celestial tier bosses the same.

After a Celestial boss was killed, the game system would take up to 30 days (real time) to respawn a new one. Those still roaming in the game will have no changes applied to them. On the other hand, the newly spawned boss will have its difficulty and level adjusted according to the average players' Level. However, the system had not released any more information on that matter.

So far, there were 16 Celestial tier boss in the entire game. There were 8 roaming in the Level 270 – Level 300 map, 6 in the Level 240 – Level 270 map, 1 in the Level 210 – Level 240 map, and 1 in the Level 150 – Level 180 map. One of them, that had been alive for as long as the game started had been doing extremely well. The Witch King of the Undead, Mardevich. He had been having his fun time killing countless players.

Zhang Yang was only around Level 220 and the boss the was most suitable for him will be in the Level 210 – Level 240 map. It was better to fight a boss that is within their level radius than fight a boss that is a killer wolf under a sheepskin.

The most important rule to fight any boss is to never be outside the level range. That being said, now that the developers had openly revealed all the bosses' locations, clearly they would not be an easy target.

Zhang Yang got back home, did a little adult recreational fun time with the ladies, and logged back into the game. His first target to slay was The Demon Lord Regalia. His location, a valley.

By then, there were already many players that were ready in the game, waiting for the rest of the Lone Desert Smoke main party members to assemble. While Lone Desert Smoke was still making their preparations for the attack, other guild master feared that they might not have a shot at digging the gold mine. Hence, even though other guilds were not as prepared, they had already set off to the valley. The battle was already ongoing when Zhang Yang and his attack squad arrived. When he did, he saw one massive guild trying to fight, but they were all killed in less than 10 seconds!

Astonished at the boss' prowess, Zhang Yang was determined to find a weakness that he could exploit.

[Song of Despair: Sings a song of despair around 300 meters around Regalia. Initial damage of 1,000,000 Chaos Damage will be inflicted and will gain a stacking damage of 1,000,000 every second. Lasts for 30 seconds.

Note: A Demon Lord that stands out amongst the rest of the Demon Lords. Regalia is a demon that kills all that encounters him to hide his presence. No one knows how strong he is. Caution would be an understatement when one approaches him.

Zhang Yang finally understood why all the players that had charged in earlier than he did were killed after 10 seconds. It was the doing of the skill {Song of Despair}. After simple calculations, the total damage that could be dealt was as high as 465,000,000. That's a skill that was even stronger than any [Forbidden Scroll] in the entire game! No one. Not even Zhang Yang could survive with his Transformation.

With such a skill in his skill list, Regalia will undoubtedly be the strongest god amongst all gods! The chances of winning was an absolute zero!

However, the developers will never make a boss or a quest that can never be solved. However, to counter the boss' {Song of Despair} and kill the boss, all players in the world must a full Celestial tier set equipment and the highest class Inheritance, along with the strongest Battle Mount to win!

Such a requirement would be absurd. Hence, unless there is a method to nullify or weaken the skill, {Song of Despair} will be treated as a bug that makes the boss undefeatable.

"Holy mother of all crap in my *ss. How are we supposed to fight that?" said Fatty Han. Everyone else shared the same thoughts and was prepared to make their way back to the Holy City. Zhang Yang, on the other hand, had been busy trying to find a way to defeat him. When his sea of thoughts failed him, he turned to the outside world, scouting around any possible points of interest that may help. Suddenly, he saw something and shot down to the ground.

"Heyyya! Where are you going!" cried Wei Yan Er.

Zhang Yang ignored her and continued downward and finally landed in front of a small dwarf NPC.

[Salygos] (Normal, Humanoid)

Level: 240

Note: Even though Salygos is a dwarf, there was an unexplainable power emitting from him.

"This place is not for the weakhearted. Why are you here? I must urge you to leave for your own safety." Said Zhang Yang.

Salygos frowned and begun to spat at Zhang Yang. "I am here for the like of you weaklings!"

He then calmed down and explained, "Regalia's strength is currently too strong for anyone, he holds part of the Death God's power. If you try to fight him now, you will be killed."

Wei Yan Er had managed to catch up with Zhang Yang, along with the rest of the main party members. However, there was someone else along with them. Dusk Phoenix came down and winked seductively at Zhang Yang, Hourglass Figure came down and blatantly ignored Zhang Yang. And there were more other random players that Zhang Yang recognized as part of the elites. It was then made clear to him that he was not the only "smart" one that were trying to find a way to solve the boss' extreme difficulty.

"To defeat Regalia, you must find the Staff of Primordial Life. That magic staff will be your only hope that could purge the Death God's power from him."

Every word that came out of his mouth seems to be emitting a powerful shock wave that made the ground crack and the dust falling off Zhang Yang's armor. Even the valley was vibrating from his sheer power.

The moment he had finished his speech, the dwarf glowed in a bright light. Zhang Yang noticed a large shadow that flew over him and noticed a large blue dragon had flown away.

"The Staff of Primordial Life?"

Obviously, the Staff of Primordial Life was meant to remove the skill {Song of Despair} from the boss list. That, or have it greatly weakened so that players could stand a chance to defeat him.

At then, Zhang Yang had an epiphany.

"I need you guys to handle this. I've got something urgent that needs to be done as soon as possible."

Zhang Yang shot to the sky immediately, before anyone had any chance to say a word.

Chapter 839: The Fallen Wind Ranger

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Back when Zhang Yang was still roaming the Beginner's Village as a fresh young greenhorn, he had already accepted a main story quest about the Demon Lord, and the Fallen Wind Ranger Calina. However, due to the outrageous quest requirements, he had prolonged the quest until he was Level 100 to gather the required items. After that, he had accepted the quest - "Quell thy Anger" where he was given a quest item to use on Calina to finish the quest.

It may sound simple, but would a Celestial tier Demon boss let you touch her *ss? Back then, before the killing of Kenzack, the system had not revealed the location of Calina, and that was why Zhang Yang had completely forgotten about her. However, when he saw the information about the nine Demon Lords, and the Seven Spectre Kings, his took note of Calina and was ready to resume his quest.

Calina was residing in the Level 240 – Level 270 map of Lonhana. Technically, a player would be required to be around Level 240 to have the capabilities to fight the boss. Any lower, and he would be in trouble thanks to the Level Suppression system. Not even a full set of Celestial tier set equipment could save him. Zhang Yang was different, his quest did not require him to kill Calina. Instead, he was only required to "poke" Calina, and he would succeed. He might take some time to complete the mission, but since defeating Regalia would require the [Primordial Staff of Life] which will require some time before it can be found, Zhang Yang could take his time finishing the quest.

Zhang Yang flew along the route and reached the Lonhana map. There, all the monsters were at least Level 240, and more than half of them were higher than Level 250. The moment Zhang Yang set foot on the map, his Level 222 pathetic, under-leveled character had drawn in as many monsters like a bleeding bait in a shark's den.

Zhang Yang opted for the flight and fight technique. If he could not outrun the monsters, he would fight them. As long as he has the Phoenix pet and the powerful Felice by his side, he could easily defeat most of the monsters there even though they were elite tier. That might take up some time, though. As such, after fighting and running his way through the map, Zhang Yang had arrived at the lair of Calina, the Ghastly Forest.

As an elf, Calina would surely pick a lair that is situated in a densely growing forest. After she was demonized, her choice of habitat remained the same. The only thing that had changed was the fact that her demonic aura would taint the environment and turn the entire atmosphere around the forest somewhat "gloomy". Without the help of the navigation minimap, anyone would be lost in that forest.

Zhang Yang entered the forest and could no longer fly around. Every short distance, tree branches would block the way and force the Phoenix to descend. Hence, Zhang Yang decided to travel by foot, which was ultimately faster than flying. Despite being a Legendary Beast with an inextinguishable flame, the gloominess of the forest was caused by a Celestial tier boss, hence, the illumination of the Phoenix was only good for around 3 meters in front of Zhang Yang. Surely enough, if the Phoenix could reach Level 230 soon, it would be upgraded to a Celestial tier beast! By then, it would and should be on par with a Celestial tier boss!

Ni shi shi shi shi~~

Eerie laughters echoed through the mist in the forest and three shadowy figures appeared in front of Zhang Yang. Despite being slightly shadowed by the lack of light, Zhang Yang could make out its shape and appearance. The problem was, he could not detect any faces! They were all magically formed out of the mist and only had humanoid shapes. The rest was simply shadow and darkness.

[Demonic Mist Guardian] (Elite, Demon)

Level: 250

HP: 125,000,000

Defense: 15,350

Melee Attack: 109,064 – 169,064

Skills:

[Misty Spear: Collects the magic in the air and thrusts to stab a target. Deals 100% melee physical attack.

[Mystify: When in danger, the Guardian will discard its physical form to restore 1% HP every second. Receives 50% less damage. Lasts for 10 seconds.

Note: The Guardians of the Ghastly Forest that are created from the Demonic aura of Calina. Naturally born to kill, destroy, and mutilate all living beings that enter their domain.

There were three of them, and all of them was collecting the air around them to form long spears in their hands. Once the spear solidified, the monsters then hurled the spear towards Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang launched himself to the front and attacked the first monsters with a normal attack to charge up his Rage points. Once he was done, he used {Charge Up Strike} and {Sky Slicer}.

The two most powerful attacks were unleashed and dealt more than 100 million damage after {Sky Slicer} had reached the 10th strike. The monster took so much damage and immediately turned into a clump of mist that was still visible enough due to its color. However, Zhang Yang immediately landed {Destructive Smash} to reduce its healing rate and kill it easily with the combination of Felice and Phoenix.

Zhang Yang turned to the second Guardian and cast {Glare of the Death God}. The skull appeared on the monster's character after a few hits and swallowed the monster whole.

2 down, 1 more to go. If anyone else besides the usual crowd around Zhang Yang was present during the fight scene, they would grovel at Zhang Yang's feet and beg him for some fighting lessons.

Elite monsters in higher level maps were extremely strong and cannot be underestimated when they are in large groups. Fight three elite tier monsters would require a team of 5,well-equipped players to fight on equal level. 3v1? That's impossible!

For example, player A has 300 HP. Player B, C, and D has only 100 HP. All four players have the same attack power. If Player A were to fight player B, C, and D in an orderly manner, all of them would die eventually. However, if player A were to attack player B, C, and D at the same time, player A would die before anyone else does.

Zhang Yang had not only chosen to fight all three at once, but he had also managed to kill 2 of them within 20 seconds! Though, he was technically using those broken OP skills. {Glare of the Death God} and {Sky Slicer}.

{Glare of the Death God} had an hour long cooldown while {Sky Slicer} had a shorter 5-minute cooldown. Zhang Yang would be lying if he said that he was satisfied with them. Since he had used up all the stronger skills, he had to fight the last monster normally.

Even though the monsters do have powerful attacks, Zhang Yang had super defense to counter that. He had enabled his first set equipment set effect and gained 20% damage reduction. If he uses {God of War Shield}, his Defense would be so strong that the elite tier monster would not be able to deal any damage at all!

However, {God of War Shield} had over an hour long cooldown. He would not want to waste that skill, hence, he decided to use {Rock Solid}. Once the skill is used, his Defense would reach as high as 89,050 points, and gain up to 70% damage reduction for only 10 seconds. Although it was short, the main point was in that 10 seconds, the monsters would not even make a scratch on Zhang Yang! 60 seconds cooldown time was short enough for Zhang Yang to spam them endlessly.

As if that was not enough, Zhang Yang still had the Inheritance recovery skill which was almost the same as gaining a 10-second long invulnerability effect! That, and {Block}, {Blast Wave}, {Brutal Smash}, and other status effect skills. He did not even need Felice to morph into her Tree of Life form!

"Big brother sure is strong!" cried Felice as she clapped her hands and jumped around like a little girl. How could anyone get angry at such cute little girl?

Zhang Yang laughed and pats her head as thanks. He then walked to the corpses of the Guardians and left when there was no loot to be picked.

Along the route towards Calina's lair, Zhang Yang encountered more of those same monsters. Sadly, his killing speed was not as fast as the first group of monsters due to the cooldown of the skills. In fact, he could only perform as fast as the first kill once after a long duration. Still, he had Felice and Phoenix helping him out. In the end, it was no longer as fast as the first one.

Due to the slow killing speed and the insanely huge forest size, Zhang Yang set his course to the center of the forest and only managed to find what he sought for after 10 plus days. Sitting quietly in a large clearing was a palace that was made of wood. That should be where Calina was waiting.

As he walked, he thought to himself. "The quest to procuring the Primordial Staff of Life is not going to be easy. We must first collect all 8 parts of the staff and then fix them all together to get the complete form. If I'm not wrong, there're 6 parts found and are all in the hands of different guilds. It's going to be hard to have them hand over the parts."

Naturally, collecting all parts to form a complete [Primordial Staff of Life] would be hard. Of course, the guilds that had them would never hand over the parts they had without a price. Perhaps a guild war will break out when the last part is found. Either that, or the guild masters would come together and decided on a more peaceful solution. That, however, would be unlikely.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

When Zhang Yang stepped on the wooden flooring of the palace, his metal greaves made a loud clattering noise that echoed throughout the entire palace. Zhang Yang frantically unequipped his greaves and tip-toed his way around the palace. Don't forget, he was there to sneak up on Calina and give her a prod. He could not afford to let Calina find out that he was there in the first place!

Even though what he did was considered to be redundant since monsters can only "notice" a player through the aggro system, the Celestial tier bosses had such an advanced A.I programming that it might actually affect their decision and movement. Even a tiny gesture or verbal taunt would affect how a boss triggers its skill! It was too obvious for both Kenzack and Regalia. Although the developers had revealed all the Celestial tier boss, they would either have ultimate skills to kill everyone, or super tanky skills that made them basically invulnerable! (1)

Zhang Yang continued on further and deeper into the palace and came across a truly haunting revelation. There was not a single monster inside! It was so quiet that it was starting to give Zhang Yang the creeps.

After 10 minutes or so, Zhang Yang reached the central hall of the palace and found his target, Calina. She was as sexy as she was when Zhang Yang first saw her. Her body was a perfect 10/10 and less than 10% of her skin was covered with a black cloth. She was sitting on her wooden craved throne, enjoying what seemed to be red wine. Every time she took a sip, her angled elf eyes would twitch. That tiny movement was so sexy and exquisite that it would make any fantasy hardcore fan go bonkers.

[Demon Lord, The Fallen Wind Ranger Calina] (Celestial, Demon)

Level: 270

HP: ???

Defense: ???

Attack Power: ???

Skills: ???

Note: Once a glorious hero of the elven race and a powerful Wind Ranger of the Elves. However, after being betrayed by her own comrade in battle, her rage was used by the Demon King to turn her into a demon! Her once graceful manner was all lost and was replaced by an unrelenting urge to kill!

Due to the extreme level gap between Zhang Yang and Calina, he could only see the boss' Level while the other properties were hidden away. However, that didn't matter, since he was not going to fight her!

Zhang Yang took out the contraption that the quest had given him and prepared himself.

[Memento Glory] (Quest Item)

Use: Refresh Calina's memories of her glorious past and the days she had spent with her comrades before she was turned into a demon. Can only be used 3 meters around Calina.

Zhang Yang braced himself and sprinted like he had never sprinted before. He prepared all sorts of life-preserving skills, invulnerability skills, {Shield Wall}, {God of War Shield}, and other skills that would keep him alive, long enough to get close to Calina, and use the item!

Translator Note:

(1): I have no idea what does having strong skills have to do with a boss' AI. The author is not making sense. Editor Note: I don't think the author was referring to them in the same breath, lol. Probably talking about how OP the bosses would be, either because they would be super intelligent, OR/AND have broken skills. Still, wouldn't want to provoke a boss into using more of its brain cells eh, heheh…there's this TV trope called – Powerful buffoon – check it out.

Chapter 840: God Killer Chest Plate

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Urgh…what is that?" Calina placed down her goblet and leaned forward, revealing her deeper-than-any-canyon cleavage.

"Ah hah!" She squeaked. "It's the warrior from back then! I remember you now! Did you come to join me? Perhaps I would permit you. Only if you can reach me!"

Calina's had only managed to detect Zhang Yang when he was 100 meters away from her. Her level range was not too far from Zhang Yang, hence her aggro range had been reduced, unlike Kenzack or Regalia where their Level gaps were too far apart, causing their aggro range to extend as far 300 meters.

The demonic elf picked up her goblet and took a sip. A small trail of wine dribbled down to her chest and slid down seductively into the creeks of her chest plate. Zhang Yang could not help but stare and trace the tiny droplet with his eyes, failing to notice that Calina was preparing a spell. A cloud of black smoke formed around her hands and solidifies into a long arrow, which she sent hurtling at Zhang Yang.

The arrow whistled through the air and struck Zhang Yang within a microsecond.

BAM!

'-4,346,500!'

Zhang Yang had taken the exact amount of damage to empty his HP bar which incidentally, killed him.

The [Book of Revelation's] revival effect instantly kicked in and revived Zhang Yang with a full HP. Without stopping, Zhang Yang kicked the ground hard and launched himself straight towards Calina.

"Hmph? That's odd. I could have sworn that I kill you. I don't miss. Oh well. There's always a first for everything!" Calina flicked her fingers once more and immediately fired another arrow.

This time, Zhang Yang was ready. The moment Calina's fair little fingers snapped, Zhang Yang activated {Shield Wall}.

The arrow hits Zhang Yang and still deals the same exact amount of damage to kill Zhang Yang, without fail. Zhang Yang frowned. That skill should be an attack that ignored 100% defense and could even pierce through invulnerability effects. It's a skill that will kill off anyone with a single strike. Talk about being broken AF.

Then again, no developers will give such a skill to a boss without proper reason. It must be a skill that is linked to the quest. Due to the plot armor in play, it would be understandable if Calina turns Zhang Yang into a beast.

Zhang Yang crossed his arms in his spirit form and frowned furiously. After cracking his head to think of a plan, he revived himself at the nearest graveyard and returned to Calina for another go. Due to the vast distance between the wooden palace and the graveyard, Zhang Yang had taken up to 5 days to return to Calina. He knew at then that he had to finish the quest as quickly as he could. If he dies repeatedly, he would have spent more than freaking month just to kill Calina! That was even after he has confirmed Calina's exact location, and is able to fly to the top of her palace to reach her directly with the Phoenix.

This time, he had figured out a plan. No wonder the accomplishment of the first quest had given him the skill {Shadow Clone}. It must be for this reason! This was also why a strong boss like Calina did not use her powerful AoE skills when she is fighting Zhang Yang. It must be for the quest! The quest had limited her to only one skill, and that is the point and kill magic arrow!

Zhang Yang returned to the palace and confronted Calina for the second time.

"Little soldier boy. I'm afraid you're far too weak to be here. Leave now. I'm busy enjoying this wine."

Zhang Yang charged forward and when Calina flicked her finger to cast the arrow, Zhang Yang dodged the first arrow by activating the {Shadow Clone}. A total of 11 Zhang Yangs went running towards her.

"HAH! Interesting! Come! Conjure as many of you can, I shall smite you down either way!"

Pew!

'-4,346,500!'

Poof!

One of the clones turned into a puff of cloud.

"Trickly little mouse!" Calina smiled from ear to ear and fired another arrow.

Pew!

Poof!

"A game of chance eh? I like it!" Calina randomly pointed her finger at a random target and fired off an arrow that struck the real Zhang Yang.

Instant death.

"Blast it! What luck!" cried Zhang Yang as he revived at the graveyard for the second time. Along the way back to the palace. Zhang Yang spent his time calculating his chances. Based on the boss' attack pattern, the rate of fire, and the speed at which he ran, Zhang Yang would have to be extremely lucky, 10 times in a row in order to be the last standing 'Zhang Yang' to be in range of Calina to use the device. The chances of him succeeding the quest was less than 10%!

"O. Goddess of luck. Please have mercy on me!"

Since {Shadow Clone} had a long 2 hour cooldown duration, Zhang Yang had tried other methods like using {Shadow of the Void}, and {Burrow} to get close to Calina. Somehow, she could even detect him from within the Netherworld and kill him easily with a single blast. {Burrow} was more unsightly. She would laugh and blast the arrow deep into the earth and instantly determine his grave there and then.

It then was made obvious that the developers was testing a person's luck! The only way to defeat Calina was by using the {Shadow Clone} or by bringing in a large army to raid her as a boss. That would not be very efficient. In fact, both methods weren't.

To save time, Zhang Yang had chosen to use the [Book of Revelation] skill's strengthening slot on {Shadow Clone}. Even though the duration of the cooldown was reduced down to only 90 minutes, 30 minutes was plenty enough. Think of it this way, if he fails again and again, the total time wasted would not be as long as not having the skill cooldown shortened.

After being killed, again and again, Zhang Yang suddenly felt the need to wash his feet and visit the nearest shrine to beseech the gods for good luck. He had failed 8 times in a row and his best record was having survived until the seventh clone.

"Aiii! Noobie tank! Where in tarnation are you!?

Every now and then, the little girl would call him and ask about his whereabout. Before he had left the party, he had failed to inform about his quest. After giving her a vague answer every time she nudged him, the little girl had finally left him alone after being bored of his answers.

Again! Die…

Again! Die…

Again! Die…

@#%@$%#@ AGAIN! @%$!@%#$ DIE!

ARGHHHHHH

Zhang Yang had gone mad. He had lost count to how many times he had died to return to try again! In the end, Zhang Yang felt numb. He had lost his mood to even smile when Felice tried to comfort her master.

Three days later…

"Noobie tank! Guess what?" Wei Yan Er shouted at Zhang Yang.

"What…"

"We found a piece of the staff thing!"

"About bloody d*mn time!"

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

"Erhm…well. I mean it's time to contact the other guild masters to discuss the next step. Everyone has a piece and cannot proceed with the quest, or the boss, if they do not work together."

"About that. Uncle Hundred had already contacted them and they are discussing it right now! So, when are you coming back?"

"I'm not sure myself. But if you guys have combined all the pieces together. I'll come back to fight the boss, regardless."

Zhang Yang ended the call there and focused on the fight with Calina. For the past three days, he had been using the {God of War Transformation} to gain its speed boost to shorten the time taken to reach to Calina's side. However, the palace itself seems to have placed a speed cap limit on which a player could move. Sadly, even with his radiant wings, Zhang Yang's movement speed would be the same as it is when he is normal.

Zhang Yang then left his Transformation be and put it aside.

At then, after failing the Transformation attempt, Zhang Yang went back to his usual attempt.

{Shadow Clone}!

RUN!

"HAHAHAHA!"

Pew! Poof!

1…

Pew!

2…

Pew!

3…

Pew Pew Pew!

8…

When the eighth clone was killed, Zhang Yang felt a chill down his spine. Could it be, that he might win this round?!

Pew!

Poof!

There goes the ninth one and Zhang Yang was only 15 meters away from Calina! With one last strike, Zhang Yang will win!

There were only two Zhang Yangs left on the field and the boss lifted her fingers to take aim.

At that moment, time seems to slow down for Zhang Yang and he could feel his guts tightening up, surprised that he was not vomiting.

Pew!

…

…

…

Poof!

Heck yeah! Zhang Yang cheered in his heart and sprinted as fast as he could with the quest item in his hands directed at Calina.

10 meters…5 meters…3 meters…!

Activate!

The small like pendant flung opened and unleashed a powerful bright light that surrounds Calina and engulfed her in a cocoon.

"What is this!"

Calina tried to struggle free from the light. She spread her wings and randomly flew around the room to get rid of the light that surrounded her. She struggled on and on but eventually, the blinding light was all too powerful for her to get rid off. She crashed landed on the wooden floor and writhed in pain. She clutched her head with her hands and began to scream in pain.

Image of her past memories when she was still an elf was projected in front of her eyes. Zhang Yang could see the images around of her when she had a fair skin and radiant complexion, laughing and cheering with her companions.

Zhang Yang finally relaxed and fell to his knees. Calina's struggling stopped, yet she was still writhing in pain, just not as loud as the beginning. Her internal struggles continued on for a least 10 minutes before she finally came to. Her demonized features were gone and her calm, kind, and gentle appearance returned to her.

"I…I….what have I done!" Calina cried and Zhang Yang went to comfort her. When Zhang Yang came to her, she immediately cast a magic spell that clad her back in a tight hunter's outfit. Decent yet sexy.

"It's fine now." Said Zhang Yang.

"I…I was betrayed! You have to understand! I didn't have control over my rage and when the Demon King took over my soul, he only made the rage burn even more violently. He made me a demon!"

"No. You're not a demon. That's why I had faith that I can rescue you."

"I…I can never thank you enough for what you have done for me. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you for restoring me. I am finally back!"

Calina got back to her feet and wiped away her tears. "I swear. In the name of a Hunter, I will kill all the Demons until the Demon King himself is slain!"

Zhang Yang checked her status and saw a change to her properties.

[Calina, The Reborn Wind Ranger] (Celestial, Half Elf – Half Demon)

Level: ???

Note: The soul of Calina, the true Wind Ranger has returned, stronger than ever!

Nothing was showed. Not even her level! Just how powerful is she now?

Calina's name tag was now a green name NPC. She walked slowly towards Zhang Yang and took his hands, and cupped it against her chest.

"I, Calina will forever be in your debt, young warrior."

"Don't mention it."

"Theirs is still some demonic blood within me. I must go back to the Pool of Life to purify myself in order to become a true elf. Warrior. I will rest in Athuran, the Sacred Land of the Elves. Normally, no humans are allowed to set foot on the land. But I'll make sure that you will be treated as our honored guest. Please visit me when you have the time."

The beautiful Celestial tier boss spread her half-angelic, half demon wings and shot into the sky, breaking the wooden palace ceiling and disappearing into the bright horizon.

"Well…d*mn." Zhang Yang sulked. It's not like he could not enter Athuran without invitation. That sort of reward was not the reward he wanted. Might as well give him her weapon or some Celestial tier equipment as a reward!

Zhang Yang sighed heavily and returned to the Holy City. After that, he traveled all the way to a Territory and beamed back to White Jade Castle to talk to Felon.

"Good job, young warrior!" The old wizard praised Zhang Yang. "Calina is finally back to our side! You have done well! Not only have the Demons lost one of their great Generals, we have gained one powerful ally! This might turn the tables around!"

'Ding! You have completed the quest: Quell Thy Rage. Obtained 2,000,000,000 Experience Points!'

"Here. Take this. I found it when I was cleaning my old armor collection. I have no use for this." Felon gave Zhang Yang a radiant chest plate to Zhang Yang.

Nonchalantly, Zhang Yang took the chest plate and inspected it.

Hm? A CELESTIAL SET EQUIPMENT!?

[God Killer Chest Plate] (Celestial, Heavy Armor)

Defense: 2560

Vitality: 102919

Strength: 13249

Dexterity: 5468

{Level 8 Socket 1}

{Level 8 Socket 2}

Equip: Increases maximum HP by 205,830

Equip: Increases damage dealt and healing rate by 15%

Equip: Absorbs 5,835 damage on attack.

Equip: Grant a chance to invoke the power of the Death God. Chance to inflict 1,000,000 Chaos Damage to a target that attacks you.

Class Requirement: Guardian

Level Requirement: 250

Special: Level Requirement reduced by 30 Levels.

A third set equipment! What a wonderful and worthwhile reward! No wonder Calina had nothing to give him when he managed to restore her "sanity".

All in all, the chest plate's properties were powerful in terms of defense. It had increased Zhang Yang maximum HP by a total of 1,000,000! Paired with the {Vitality Aura}, he had gained a total of 1,400,000 HP! Hence, with the third Celestial tier equipment in hand, Zhang Yang's maximum HP was now 6,271,790!

Chapter 841: Regalia

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Noobie tank! We have already discussed about the battle setting and had come in agreement to fight Regalia together. Each guild will surrender their part of the magic staff thingy. After the boss is killed, each guild that has contributed one part will receive one portion of the loot while we take two!" cried Wei Yan Er when Zhang Yang was just finishing with socketing gemstone in his [God Killer Chest Plate].

Even though she had left out some information, Zhang Yang basically understood what had happened. There were a total 8 parts to the [Primordial Staff of Life]. Lone Desert Smoke had two parts, while the other 6 were in the hands of other guilds. It would seem that all the guilds had sorted out their spats and had decided to work together instead of fighting one another. Since it had come down to that way, everyone had agreed to split the loot equally. Since Lone Desert Smoke had contributed two parts of the staff, they had the right to claim two parts of the loot.

The sevens guilds that will participate in the killing of Regalia were Lone Desert Smoke, Crimson Rage, Hell's Family, Land of Savages, Dark Palace, Paragon, and Justice League.

If Zhang Yang was the one deciding, he would have resort to violence after the fight and grab what he could. However, since Hundred Shots had chosen the path of diplomacy, Zhang Yang's bad route was eliminated. Everyone then belonged to their own region's top guild. The stage that they were playing on was at the global scale. A tiny mistake would cost their popularity and fame.

"It's time to fight yooo! Come back here! The other guild masters were complaining! They said that if you're not coming, they would want to claim our one extra share of the loot!"

Zhang Yang chuckled. Although they had agreed to let Lone Desert Smoke have one more share of the loot due to the extra contribution to the [Primordial Staff of Life, the real reason they had agreed to such terms was due to the fear of Lone Desert Smoke. It had nothing to do with having 2 parts of the staff. It was the guild itself that they feared.

Such a thing should be mentioned whispers. Everyone knew about it and should be quiet about it. Having it discussed out loud would be quite an awkward situation.

Zhang Yang returned to the Holy City and joined with his guild. When everyone was gathered, all seven guilds sortied out in unison and flew towards the valley with vigor.

Perhaps it was considered too early to decide, but Zhang Yang had acknowledged that the guilds that had followed behind him were the strongest guilds in the entire game. Each guild had sent out 30 players with Transformation Inheritance skills. Other members from all the guilds were commanded to guard the valley to prevent any outsiders from trying to meddle with their fight.

In total, there were 210 players who were going to fight Regalia. Even though the number was far too low, if everyone's prowess is not made up, killing the boss would be easy and fast. Having too many players would not be beneficial, since the boss had the skills to convert players into his own slaves. In short, more players = more slaves, which would mean a greater threat.

The fighters were ready and the other guild members started to push anyone who was not participating in the fight back out of the valley. Although their move had angered many of the spectators around, the players that were not involved dare not disobey their orders. The most they could do was to curse them silently, hoping that all seven guilds will be killed by the boss!

Out of the, blue someone shouted, "We are all from different regions of the game. AoE attacks will cause damage to other players. Hence, unless its necessary skills like {Tornado Cleave} and {Horizontal Sweep}, anyone who dares to use any AoE skills at all shall be killed on the spot."

Zhang Yang tried to search for the source of the voice but failed, for there were too many players around.

"I agree."

"We should not harm each other until the entire ordeal is over. When this is done and the dust settles, we can go back to becoming enemies."

"How bout that? It's bout time I hear something nice. I'll play along with your game. No AoE skils innit? Gotcha loud and clear boss."

Zhang Yang cringed at a player who was talking like a cowboy.

"If there's nothing else, let's just start the fight now!"

Zhang Yang took the initiative and activated his Transformation and had Felice Transform into her Goddess of War Scion form. The Phoenix pet was excluded from the fight, since its attacks were all AoE based. Since there were plenty of strong DPS around, it would not put a dent in his overall damage without the Phoenix.

With Zhang Yang taking the lead, everyone else flashed out with their skills and charged towards the boss. Amongst the 210 players around, only 29 players had A Class Inheritances. The ones taking the lead were the S class Inheritance players, followed by the A class and the rest were only running on their battle mounts. Once the gap between the boss was narrowed, everyone started launching their attacks.

"Hmph? Are you all so willing to offer up your life to the God of Death?" Regalia picked up his sword and swung it, blasting out a hundred meter long power blast. Right after the skills, Regalia opened his mouth and starting singing a melody with lyrics that was alien to anyone.

{Song of Despair}!

"Endless! DO IT NOW!"

"HEH! Shut your dirty mouth up! HAH!" Endless Starlight pulled out a magic staff and pointed it at the boss. The green colored emerald that was encased in the magic staff glowed brightly and engulfed the boss with the light. The light cocooned Regalia and seeped into his body, muting him completely.

{Song of Despair} nullified!

Endless Starlight was the one in charge of the staff, since his DPS was not useful enough to be in the fight. When the boss was muted from casting {Song of Despair}, the battle soon became a normal boss fight.

Zhang Yang sliced and diced the boss until he had enough Rage points. Then, he used {Charge Up Strike} and combined it with {Sky Slicer}. With the help from everyone's aura skills, Zhang Yang had dealt more than 300 million damage within 10 seconds.

When the numbers jumped up, everyone was baffled by the damage.

In reality, Zhang Yang was not the only one who had the skill. In the previous invasion war, each region will have one player earning the skill by being the first to kill the Demon Lord. However, {Charge Up Strike} was a skill that was unique to Zhang Yang only. No one could deal such a powerful nuclear strike!

It was unfortunate that the European player that had obtained the skill {Sky Slicer} was God's Left Hand. Although he was an S class Inheritance player, he was famous for his Defense, healing powers and not his attack. That, and the fact that he is unable to wield a two-handed weapon like Zhang Yang. With a one-handed weapon, the skill would never reach its full potential. As such, even though he could use {Sky Slicer}, the total damage dealt was only 70,000,000.

As the fight proceeded smoothly, Zhang Yang had a bright idea. "Hey guys, instead of the previous agreement, how about we decided the guild to have the first pick by competing with our total DPS?" His tone and voice contained the utmost sarcasm.

"Hmph! Bring it!"

"Come on! Let's see who will have the last laugh!"

Each guild had 30 guild members, then. If they lose in the DPS contest, there will not be any excuses that they could conjure up. It was a fair bet, since it will decide the guild having the first pick. Now that everyone had agreed to it, Zhang Yang decided to go all out. In fact, everyone else had decided to do the same as well. No one would want to be the last to pick the leftovers.

With that thought in mind, all sorts of power boosting skills, buffs, potions, and items were used to increase their attack.

"You think you could defeat me?! I may have lost the ability to sing but my power with the sword lies unchanged. I shall be the one that prevails!"

It was true. Despite losing the skill, his sword blast was still as strong as any boss-level attack. Still, {Song of Despair} was a skill that could considered to be an impossibly powerful skill that should not exist in the first place! Technically, Regalia was not weakened but merely reduced to a normal boss.

Like all Celestial boss that Zhang Yang had encountered, Regalia's physical and magic attack did not share the same global cooldown system. Both {Force Strike} and {Fiery Blast} could be used at the same time. Worse still, both skills had only a 2-second cooldown. The DPS was incredibly strong. Then again, Zhang Yang's defense was also incredibly strong.

At that moment, Zhang Yang had over 180,000 Defense and 40% damage reduction passive. With {Rock Solid}, he would have 460,000 Defense and 70% damage reduction. Although the skill will last for 10 seconds, it was more than enough to help Zhang Yang be a temporary immortal!

Attackers were trying their best to be the highest damage DPS; tanker were trying their best to have the highest aggro. Be it Zhang Yang or Mellow Poison, God's Left Hand, Hell's Warrior, everyone was fighting to be top on the list. However, Zhang Yang had both the highest DPS and Defense. How could any tank take away his aggro position? If they wanted to, they would have to first try to exceed his DPS!

{Tornado Cleave}! {Tornado Cleave}! {Tornado Cleave}!

As expected of a Celestial tier boss, his most powerful aspect was his AoE damage. Like other skills, the boss' {Tornado Cleave} also had a 2-second cooldown duration. All main healers were busy healing everyone, while the secondary healers were busy healing the healers themselves!

Right then, Lone Desert Smoke had started to gain the upper hand in the fight. Amongst the 30 players, 7 of them had enabled their first Celestial tier set effects, allowing them to gain a strong offense and defense power. Even though it was just one set effect, its prowess was strong. Take Zhang Yang for example, he had gained a 20% damage reduction just from the first set effect!

The average HP of all Lone Desert Smoke was roughly around 70%. All other players were struggling at 50%. Either way, healers were already pumping out their best efforts to heal. In cases of mortal dangers, players themselves would have to rely on their own skills to survive. Either way, it would not be easy. It was, after all, a Celestial tier boss. It can never be easy for them.

Seven groups of players were fighting at their best efforts to make every second they spend fighting count. They were fighting for their lives! The thought of competing was no longer in their mind, as they lives were on the line!

To make things worse for players, the boss was throwing out black pools which was the skill - {Demonic Soul} which could turn players into the enemy once touched. Players were forced to run around chaotically once the pool appeared.

Even though they were having a tough time, all 210 players there were the best in the world. No matter how hard it was, they could still deal powerful damage to the boss.

90%...80%...

Even with {Demon Constitution}, it was almost not possible for the boss to slow down the HP drop.

"ENOUGH! DIE!" Regalia started to lose his temper at that point and swung his sword like a madman. As a Celestial tier boss, there was a certain pride for Regelia. He would never allow himself to be killed by a bunch of ants.

After 20 minutes, all seven groups of players had suffered from numerous members lost. At the same time, the boss had also lost 80% of his HP!

203 players left…194…143…

Every second mattered, especially when the boss has gone berserk and was vulnerable.

112…94…63…31…

As the total number of player started to drop like flies, so did the HP of the boss. The last surviving members were definitely the strongest amongst all players. Surely, they would have high DPS and extremely good hands-on skills to survive that long.

4%...3%...2%...1%...

Regalia would perhaps be the most pathetic boss ever, since he was killed in less than 3 to 4 (real time) hours. It was even safe to say that Regalia was the most short-lived Celestial tier boss.

Players did not even care about that! All they cared then, was the loot!

Chapter 842: Sharing is Caring

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Regalia fell to the ground, dead and lifeless, spitting out a mountain of loot for the players.

"Well…well…well. Will yer look at that eh? Thank god we skipped school today for this!"

"D*mn straight."

Not many players besides Zhang Yang's party have ever seen such an amount of loot. Those who had died in the beginning of the fight had already managed to return to the valley. Those who survived the entire ordeal were just sitting down by the side of the treasure, panting like dogs as they feasted their eyes on the glittering treasures. Luckily, all that were present then were core members of the guilds. Gaming mannerisms were already buried deep in their hearts and they knew better than to snatch and run.

Then again, all the seven groups had set the looting system to Party Leaders only. That meant that only the guild master could pick up the items.

"Alright. Boss' dead now. Time to compare d*cks!"

"You mean DPS."

"I know what I said."

"Sigh…men…"

All seven party leaders posted out their own party total damage dealt to the boss and compared. Without a doubt, Zhang Yang was sure that Lone Desert Smoke would be the first on the list. In fact, he was a little disappointed when he saw Lone Desert Smoke was only 30% higher than the second group, which was Land of Savages. He was hoping for more. He was just being a little greedy. However, it was only normal that Lone Desert Smoke could be much stronger than the rest. They had two S class Inheritance DPS in the party and a total of 7 players that had enabled their first set effects. As for the rest of Lone Desert Smoke party members, they were all wearing a full set of Ascended tier equipment. There was no one in the party still wearing a Holy tier equipment excluding accessories.

With Lone Desert Smoke being the only party that had a large gap between their total damage dealt, the rest of the group had only a tiny 5% gap in between them.

There was no argument that they could make to deny Lone Desert Smoke their first pick for the loot.

Zhang Yang walked nonchalantly towards the pile of loot and started rummaging through the loot to check the items. There was a total of 9 Celestial set equipment and all of them were gloves. There were 5 more regular Celestial tier equipment, 11 [Advance Demonic Pearl, 21 [Level 8 Gemstone, 7 skill books, and 9 [Skill Point Crystal].

Zhang Yang thought for a while and turned to his party. "Guys. I have 3 set equipment right now and I will pick the Guardian set equipment. Will that be okay with you guys?"

"What are you talking about? Go ahead. I'm surprised you'd even ask!"

"Guild master. You don't have to be modest with us. Please take the equipment and have a half your set effects activated! With that achievement, you could lead us to glory!"

"Guild master. Don't mind any of us. Go for it!"

"Screw you noobie tank! Why you'd get to --UFFMMM!"

Fatty Han walked in and muffled Wei Yan Er's little mouth. The scene of which looked like a fat guy was about to kidnapped a little girl. Everyone laughed and persuaded Zhang Yang to go for his choice. In fact, besides the little girl who was only being playful, everyone else was supporting Zhang Yang's selfish actions. It was not a secret that when a player equips a fourth set equipment, he or she could enable the second set effect. Zhang Yang picked the [God Killer Gauntlet and activated the second set effect: All allies within 40 meters will receive 10% reduced damage. It was a damage reduction buff for the entire party!

Everyone cheered for Zhang Yang when they saw the effect.

[God Killer Gauntlet] (Celestial, Heavy Armor)

Defense: 2560

Vitality: 49401

Strength: 6394

Dexterity: 2624

{Level 8 Socket}

Equip: Increases maximum HP by 98,880.

Equip: Increases damage dealt and healing rate by 15%

Equip: Absorbs 5,654 damage on attack.

Equip: Grants an additional attack blocking instance for the skill {Block}.

Class Requirement: Guardian

Level Requirement: 240

Special: Level Requirement reduced by 30 Levels.

God Killer Set Equipment (4/8)

Two equip set effect: Increases damage reduction passive by 20%.

Four equip set effect: All allies within 40 meters will receive 10% reduced damage.

It was a damage reduction buff for the entire party!

The second set effect was a passive skill like an aura skill. When Zhang Yang equipped the gauntlet, a faint golden glow appeared around Zhang Yang and formed a barely visible shield that covered 40 meters around him.

Although it was nice to have a protective aura effect, it was incredibly unfortunate for Zhang Yang that the skill did not affect him!

Other guild members were stunned when they saw the effect Zhang Yang gave off when he equipped the gauntlet. Without any doubt in their mind, they knew that Zhang Yang had managed to activate his second set effect. Even though they were not the ones with the God Killer set, they knew that it was and could guess that it was an aura effect.

"My darling 3. Did you get yourself a fourth God Killer set equipment?" Dusk Phoenix literally cried out with her utmost lustful voice. Everyone else that was present gave her weird looks while the rest of the Hell's Family guild members' nostrils were flaring up!

"Shh! It's a secret!"

Everyone knew that there could only be 3 Celestial tier set equipment since only three Celestial tier bosses have been killed. So, how could they explain Zhang Yang managing to conjure up a fourth Celestial tier equipment? It did not make any sense! Everyone was madly thinking about for a second but suppressed the urge to know as they went back to the pile of loot to continue the looting process.

Hourglass Figure stepped forward and when she first touched the Celestial tier equipment, she could not help but smile in ecstasy. It took her a while to move away from the pile with a Sniper's set equipment glove in her hands. Dusk Phoenix was next, followed by Heart of Destruction, God's Left Hand, Snow Seeker, and Captain America.

Zhang Yang walked to the front for his second turn since Lone Desert Smoke had earned the right to have a second pick. Hence, when the other six guild masters had picked their loot, Zhang Yang could still go for another round.

"Zhan Yu. I implore you to let me have one of your picks. Name your price and I shall fulfill whatever you want."

"Dearest 3 3. Give me one of the Celestial tier set equipment! I'll accept it as an engagement present. You can skip the ring!"

"Guild master Zhan Yu. Since we have known each other for so long and have been cooperating with each other. How about selling us one of your picks? I'll cut a good deal with Silky Soft Holdings for your sake!"

Before Zhang Yang could even touch the loot, a series of private messages rang in his inbox. They were all from Hourglass Figure, Dusk Phoenix with love, and Snow Seeker. Zhang Yang felt extremely awkward but quickly shook his head and gestured no to every one of them with a sad face. He went ahead and picked two equipment, which was a Defender and a Beastmaster set equipment.

Amongst the set equipment, while everyone else only had one, Lone Desert Smoke was extremely lucky to claim three! Besides the guild masters, other guild's members were extremely jealous and angry at Lone Desert Smoke. As such, the remaining 5 regular Celestial tier equipment was split up according to the guild masters' turns. Hence, Zhang Yang had not managed to haul any of them. Justice League was also one of the guilds that had not managed to get a regular Celestial tier equipment.

"What bullcockery is this!" cried Captain America as he cursed.

"*ahem*" Snow Seeker cleared her throat on purpose and said, "Language."

"Oh screw you."

He was being grumpy and cursed the boss for not dropping one more regular Celestial tier equipment. If that is the case, Lone Desert Smoke would be the one eating dirt.

Chapter 843: Blazing Coral

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

While the procurement of Hua Yi Investment Fund is still in the midst of processing, Zhong Xiu Hua's mom took the initiative to raise money and perform a reverse acquisition, causing a huge uproar within the stock-market. This decision was made due to her unwillingness to forfeit the ownership of the organization. As a summary of the current scenario, Hua Yi Investment Fund is not an easy prey which could be devoured within a short period of time.

Zhang Yang, on the other hand, was not worried at all. After all, the teleportation service provided within his territory actually brought in a profit by the billions. The initial 20 billion loan could be easily paid off within half a year. Whereas, their current competitor should be the one to be concerned whether they could continue this protracted war of funds. Moreover, mommy Zhong does not dare to use her political connections yet, as this case involved too much money. Any information disclosed could lead to unsalvageable chaos. At most, procedures for loans could be reduced by a bit, however debts should still be cleared on time, without any room for delay!

Zhang Yang still prioritized on leveling. After all, he is not well-versed in business operations. It is still best handled by business professionals.

Of course, other than his level grinding sessions, he would have to become a temporary "model". On and off he would have to wear 4 of his Celestial tier equipment and patrol within Holy City, presenting himself like an advertisement to the crowd. The current Lone Desert Smoke is now a Level 8 guild and had a lot of new room.

To be honest, even if Zhang Yang does not become a roaming advertisement himself, tons and tons of players would willingly compete for any chance to join the guild, as long as any news about Lone Desert Smoke openly recruits new member were to be released. The benefits of joining the guild were very lucrative, being able to get a slot within their elite team would enable them to get an allowance worth thousands. Although the sum of money might not be much, having the right to exchange guild points for higher tiered equipment posed as one of the biggest attractions, which caused everyone to be envious of. Currently, Lone Desert Smoke was ranked as the world's number one guild. Being able to join such a guild is a glory in itself. Now, this temptation made everyone squeeze all their brain muscles, crafting a way up to join this guild.

The recruitment task had been assigned to Hundred Shots. Recruitment criterias were still strict to prevent parasites from existing within the guild, which may cause reputational damage if not taken care of properly.

Lone Desert Smoke had a very good reputation within the China server. They would not monopolize training zones, random PvP zones and possessed a strict user activity record. Unlike Eternal Flame guild, although the upper echelons were well-behaved professionals, the lower-ranked players were pretty much a bunch of rascals. On and off, there would be cases of the strong bullying the weak happening within their guild.

Somewhere far away in the Holy City…

"Splassshhh !!" From the bottom of the lake, Zhang Yang had just finished killing a bunch of water fiends and emerged on the surface of the lake. Once reaching the short, the speed of Mystic Turtle immediately slowed down, comparable to the speed of an ancient Pentium I Processor. Fortunately, the NPC for the quest clearance was right beside the lake, thus Zhang Yang to dismount himself from Mystic Tortoise and clear the task, earning him 50 million experience points.

Before he could get away from that particular area, a group with more than 10 members from Chinese server surrounded the NPC to clear their quests as well.

"Hooh, This warrior dude here has some pretty neat equipment!" said one of the members after taking a glance at Zhang Yang.

"Pretty nice indeed, looks like a full-set of Holy tier equipment!"

"This dude here is definitely the main tank for some prestigious guild!"

"Dammit, I'm so envious of him!"

For ordinary players, having a full-set of Holy tier equipment is already classified as a symbol of one of those top-tier players. As for Ascended and Celestial tier equipment, they can never imagine the possibility beyond that!

One of the knights moved towards Zhang Yang and asked: "Fellow warrior, could you help us tank a boss? It is a Holy tier boss. We would give you the rights to pick a loot from the boss first!"

Zhang Yang chuckled a bit. Considering his current strength, even without initiating a Transformation he could solo kill a Holy tier boss easily. Even for a Holy tier boss, as long as they do not have HP regeneration skills, Zhang Yang was confident enough to fight them alone after using his Inheritance Transformation skill.

The suggestion by the opposition definitely did not provide any attraction for Zhang Yang. Before he voiced out his rejection, he noticed a female hunter within the group. After pondering for a while, he decided against rejecting their invitation and proceeded to join their party.

After gaining Zhang Yang's approval, the leader immediately sent out an invite for Zhang Yang and accepted the request and joined the team.

"Wait!? Why did my HP increase!?"

"Me too!"

"Me three!"

"Guys! It's at least a 30% boost!"

"Crap…that's more than my yearly salary increment…"

"Hold up! My damage…It's boosted!"

Just as Zhang Yang joined the team, his {Vitality Aura} spreaded across the party, together with the [Book of Revelation] effect, and the buff from his second Celestial tier equipment was also successfully initiated.

"This is a powerful {Vitality Aura}! What the heck is this? [Book of Revelation]? God Killer Protection? Unbelievable! No wonder he is the main tank, these skills are too imba!"

Turns out, quite a fuss occurred once Zhang Yang actually joined their party. Being only ordinary ranked players with only Ethereal tier equipment who hardly possessed any Holy equipment, there's no way for them to know the effects and benefits that could be brought forth by God Killer set equipment.

"Wow, I could even solo a BOSS with these buffs!!" Once this cocky statement was spilled within the group, inevitably, it caused quite some laughter among the peers.

"Well, enough is enough. We should depart soon. Don't let other parties steal our boss kill!" says the leader, known as Bull Demon King. He as a Guardian as well. Initially, he only had 750,000 HP. However, after getting the buff provided by Zhang Yang, his HP surged to 1,050,000. In addition to the HP buff, he also got a 10% of passive damage reduction which raised his eagerness to try tanking a boss once again.

During the journey, mounts were summoned by the team, however only 2 persons possessed flight-based mount. Zhang Yang did not want to disclose his current identity, hence he did not summon his Phoenix. Instead, he decided to only summon the White Bear as his mount for this trip. For the first time, the summoning of a gold-rank mount gave the team a sense of relief. For once, they felt that they finally had something superior.

Zhang Yan did not bother about it. When he cast his gaze towards the female hunter in front of him, a surge of emotions ripple through his heart.

Make no mistake, it was not the sense of love. It was all because she was one of his teammates in the A-rank League in his previous life. Among the 10 members within the team, Blazing Coral was ranked second within the team, with only Zhang Yang being stronger than her. She was also one of the main reasons and contributors which allowed the team to compete up to the A-Rank League.

As per implied by her name "Blazing Coral", she was a hottie in real life. Due to the fact that there are offline ranked matches for A-Rank League, Zhang Yan was able to meet with Blazing Coral quite often and had quite a good relationship. Despite not being a married person, Blazing Coral had a very lovey-dovey boyfriend, and both of them had a pure relationship. Zhang Yang's feelings for her only capped at friendship. Nothing more, nothing less.

It was precisely because of their previous friendship, did Zhang Yang agree to join the party, offering help for Blazing Coral.

After traveling for approximately 10 minutes, they reached a dense forest and encountered the boss.

The boss was a huge tiger, with colorful stripes covering its whole body. The length of the tail measured more than 3 meters long, and a pair of canine teeth displaying the might of a sharp blade. Its mighty features and size emphasized the image of the king among all beasts!

[Saber Tooth Tiger King Mangfei] (Holy, Beast)

Level: 230

HP: 2,300,000,000

Defense: 22,500

Melee Attack: 185,530 – 265,530

Skills:

[Tiger Pounce: Activates a quick attack, causing 100% melee physical damage to all targets within 30 meters.

[Bite: Deals 150% melee physical damage to a target.

Note: The beast is not to be underestimated. There was a reason why it was a King of all tigers.

For a player who only have Ethereal tier equipment, a Holy tier boss will be quite a challenge to them. If a certain player possesses a strong skill, then it might give them an edge against the boss. However, ordinary players could hardly obtain an OP skill. Hence, Saber Tooth Tiger King Mangfei became a high wall for the team to overcome.

"Warrior, you only need to sustain the buff for us. We will take care of the boss. Worry not of your promised share of the loot," said Bull Demon King. With the vitality aura buff, 10% damage mitigation and 50% damage increase, he is very confident at taking down the boss.

Zhang Yan smiled casually. After all, he only helped the team because of Fire Coral. He could care less about how the other people behaved and thought of the situation.

The battle began with Bull Demon King leading the charge against the boss, while other team members released their fierce attacks.

With the increase of a 40% vitality and 10% damage mitigation, the pressure and precision in terms of sustaining the healing process among team members had greatly been eased, allowing more room for errors during the fight. Moreover, with the 50% damage buff, it had given a significant boost of damage towards all players, especially towards the poorly equipped ones.

For Ethereal tier equipment, they could only be buffed by up to 110%. With an increment of 50% of buff stacked on top of it, effectively a 24% DPS were added to the players. Of course, for Zhang Yang who had a 300% damage bonus which came from all sorts of effects, he would only enjoy a 12.5% overall damage increment from the buff itself.

Under normal circumstances, King Devil Cow's party would never be able to deal with this boss. However, with the 3 buffs provided to the team, they could easily suppress the boss. With the constant healing provided by the healers, the team's overall HP pool was able to remain within a safe zone all the time.

"HAHA! THIS IS AWESOME! Saw my crit there? That's 370,000 crit damage I dealt there!"

"I wish I could have these buffs forever, that'll be great!"

While fighting, everyone cried out in excitement and joy whilst enjoying the boost Zhang Yang provided.

Zhang Yang noticed that the party was a very random party. While there was a total of 17 members within the party, all of them belonged to 9 different guilds. There was even 3 of them who were guild-less at the moment, including Blazing Coral.

"Perhaps I should invite her…" Zhang Yang thought to himself.

In his previous life, Blazing Coral had only mingled within a small guild as well. The only reason that she was able to team up with Zhang Yang was all because they had met quite a few times in the C-rank Leagues. Both parties were not able to advance further due to lacking strong party members. When the both of them actually join forces together, they breezed over the B-rank League and was able to advance further towards A-rank League despite only being able to be placed within the lower tier of A-rank League.

Zhang Yang had full respects of Blazing Coral's capability as a player. In fact, if it was not for the issue of not having stronger equipment, she would be even stronger than Lost Dream! She would definitely have an A-Rank prowess with good equipment in hand.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to send out an invite for Blazing Coral after the boss session. After all, she did not have a guild, which will not cause any form of conflict.

Holy tier bosses are weak, to begin with. Thus, after approximately half-an-hour of hack and slashing, the boss finally howled his last and perished on the battlefield. Loot was scattered around the field after its defeat.

Chapter 844: Returning A Favor with Emnity

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Because the party was in Leader-Distribution Mode, everyone could only look at the loot and drool. They had to wait for the Bull Demon King to distribute the loots.

Bull Demon King turned his eyes around and passed an Ethereal Tier equipment over to Zhang Yang. Then he said, "Warrior, this is the payment that I have promised you!"

Huh? Did he just strike his own head with the stone that he tried to bear?

Zhang Yang thought to himself quietly. Immediately, he understood something. His powerful damage output had triggered some jealousy among the others. So those people would, of course, want to provoke Zhang Yang now! The first one to attack would become a red-name player. Red-named players would be killed on the spot! That also would grant an additional 20% chance of dropping an item or equipment when the player is killed.

What an insidious bastard!

At first, Zhang Yang did not even have any desire for any of the loot. However, the situation was like lending his hand out to help an old lady, only for the old lady to hold on to him and accuse him of pushing her down to the ground! Of course, he was infuriated now!

However, this Bull Demon King would have never thought that he was currently robbing the Number One player in the entire server! A man whose heart is not content is like a snake that is trying to swallow an elephant. However, this snake was about to swallow something that would kill it!

"What? Do you think you deserve better than this?" Another player from the same guild as Bull Demon King came up and said. Well, it was pretty obvious that they had already planned everything out nicely. Their intention was to provoke Zhang Yang and lure him into hitting any one of them.

"Bull Demon King! How can you do this?" Blazing Coral immediately stood up, trying to bring 'justice' to the table. She was infuriated by what she just saw, "Didn't you promise him that he gets to choose one equipment first? How can you break your promise just like that?"

Bull Demon King smiled coldly and said, "He didn't even deal any damage to the boss! All he did was to stand there and do nothing! Does he think he can do that and walk away with the best equipment here? How can we allow him to do that? It'll be unfair!"

"If it wasn't because of his Aura Skill support, we couldn't have taken out the boss at all! You should be ashamed of yourself!" Blazing Coral was still as bad-tempered as always. Zhang Yang could not help to reveal a nostalgic smile on his face.

"Pui! It's true that we took down the boss all on our own! So, we deserve everything we earned. You get what you work for! Do you understand?" Bull Demon King spoke in disdain. Well, the look on his face could really provoke people into slapping him!

That bastard turned to his party members and said, "You guys won't want to let a guy that did nothing back there to walk away with an equipment that we fought hard to get right?"

Well, it was most probably because he was quite popular in his own guild, so those players nodded still, even though they revealed a vague sense of shame on their faces.

"You! YOU --" Blazing Coral had lost herself to her anger. She pointed her finger at the others as she trembled in rage.

"Cut the crap now… you guys just want to provoke me so that I would hit you. Well, you wanted me to become a red-name player and let the system kill me, right?" Zhang Yang smiled vaguely and posted out his {Vitality Aura}, [Book of Revelation] and his [God Killer War Greaves]. "Don't you guys want this? This? Or this?"

Well, they wouldn't be able to get the {Vitality Aura} of course. Even if they are capable of killing Zhang Yang over a billion times, he would not drop the Skill. However, the [Book of Revelation] would definitely drop though. That Legendary item caught the breath of everyone. Meanwhile, the [God Killer War Greaves] was Celestial Tier, after all. When the information about the equipment was revealed to the players, they widened their eyes and stared the sh*t out of it! Their greed had clouded their sanity for the moment. They did not even though about how Zhang Yang got those items and equipment in the first place! They had not even though about who might Zhang Yang be! How could one guy have so many legendary items and equipment on him?!

-- Because the effect of 10% Passive Damage Immunity could only be effective when four Celestial Tier equipment were together.

Zhang Yang even posted out the fragment of the Class A Shadow Meister Inheritance for everyone to see.

Desire, a powerful motivator. However, it could be a push that brings you straight to your own demise!

Everyone was looking at Zhang Yang with murderous intent now. They were just one step from charging towards Zhang Yang and take everything from him!

"Are you crazy?! How can you show them all that?!" Blazing Coral widened her eyes, looking at Zhang Yang and screamed aloud. Well, she actually thought that Zhang Yang was just some spoilt rich kid who had spent tons of money to purchase all those equipment. She thought that Zhang Yang was just trying to show off how rich he was!

"Blazing Coral, move aside! OR we'll have to kill you as well!" Bull Demon King said coldly.

Upon seeing Zhang Yang's Celestial Tier equipment and his [Book of Revelation, he could no longer hold his greed from overwhelming his desire.

"I'll rather die than be on the same party as you are! Pui!" Blazing Coral chose to leave the party.

Zhang Yang had also left the party. Instantly, Bull Demon King and his party members no longer had the support of Zhang Yang's {Vitality Aura}. The 50% additional Damage and the other effects had faded away from them as well. Well, the situation was like a beggar suddenly acquiring a billion dollar cheque. However, before he could go to the bank to claim the money, the cheque was already stolen by others. In another way to say it, it was like falling from the sky straight down to the ground!

These players continued to look at Zhang Yang with murderous intent and greed.

Zhang Yang invited Blazing Coral to join his party. She did not hesitate a bit before she chose to join. Zhang Yang waved his hand and cast his {Surrogacy} onto Blazing Coral. That was also why he had invited her into his party. That Skill could only be used on one's own party members, after all.

With Zhang Yang's current insanely high Defence, even if Blazing Coral is surrounded by all those players, it would take quite a while before they could kill her. By doing that, Zhang Yang would have nothing left to worry about.

"Felice!" Zhang Yang waved his hand again and summoned Felice out from her Battle Companion Slot. The dragon lady came out and glared at Bull Demon King and his goons with rage.

"Big brother! They're too mean!"

"Leave your equipment and items behind. We shall let you live! It's not easy to level up these days! It's not necessary for you to die here over nothing!" Bull Demon King was still acting like an *sshole. He seemed to be asking Zhang Yang to spare those things for him and his goons. They really thought that Zhang Yang was a spoilt rich kid who could just buy all that again. Well, he had no idea how stupid he sounded to Zhang Yang.

Well, even if the player turns red-name, the player would not drop equipment or item for sure. Furthermore, Zhang Yang had over a full set of powerful equipment and he had quite a number of items in his inventory. They would have to kill Zhang Yang over a hundred times before they could get everything off Zhang Yang!

Zhang Yang laughed out loud and made a gesture with his finger, "Cut the crap and come at me now!"

"Kill!"

Other than the four Healers, the others had come up to Zhang Yang and had him surrounded. Then they began to launch their attacks at Zhang Yang as aggressive as they could.

'-0!'

'-7,221!'

'-0!'

'-11,022!'

'-7,83!'

Tens of damage values popped up on top of Zhang Yang at the same time. However, some attacks could not even penetrate Zhang Yang's Defence, though. The highest damage that Zhang Yang received was about 11,000 damage. Well, that amount of damage was so insignificant to Zhang Yang's long *ss HP bar of 6,680,000 HP! He did not even feel an itch! With Felice turning into the 'Tree of Life', she could easily heal Zhang Yang back to maximum HP by throwing a few {Bloom of Life} at him.

"This guy is a monster!"

"How can his HP stay still even after we hit so hard!"

"It's not staying still actually! Look closer! I think his HP bar is just too freaking long!"

The players finally realized that Zhang Yang had over 4 pieces of Celestial Tier equipment! So it made perfect sense that his HP bar would be so freaking long!

"Fear not! He's just a Tanker! He doesn't have the Attack power to kill us! Healers, make sure you do your job! We just have to treat him like a boss! We've even taken out a Holy Tier boss before! There's no reason for us to fear a Tanker without any Attack power!" Truth be told, Bull Demon King was decently skilled himself. Well, at least he managed to reassure the others into battling Zhang Yang.

"No attack power?" Zhang Yang smiled a little and swung lazily at a Thief right beside him.

'-672,122!'

A player with a full set of Ethereal Tier equipment would only have approximately 500,000 HP. Of course, the player would not be able to survive Zhang Yang's attack! Immediately, the Thief let out a miserable scream and died on the spot.

Zhang Yang stood up with his axe and laughed, "So how about now?"

Everyone revealed a sense of horror on their faces. What kind of monster is this? Not only is his Defence was as high as f*ck, his Attack power is also insanely high! This is madness! They were roaring in anger, complaining about Zhang Yang's absolute power while they continued to throw their Skills onto Zhang Yang.

Sparks were seen across the surface of Zhang Yang's armor as the weapons clanged against his armor. Zhang Yang just stood there quietly, allowing the others to attack him with their insanely vigorous attacks.

Well, it was quite satisfying to do such a thing, once in a while. Zhang Yang was thinking quietly to himself while he was looking at the others in disdain.

Well… although those players were attacking him as madly as they could, they could not even move him by a tiny bit! 5 minutes later, Zhang Yang did not even move a muscle! He was just standing there doing nothing! However, his HP bar was still hovering about at 98%! The results of that had really gave the others an intense chill up their spines. They could not help but stop their pointless attacks.

"So, have you guys had enough?" Zhang Yang smiled vaguely, "I guess, it's my turn then!"

{Horizontal Strike}!

A series of damage values that exceeded millions popped right on top of 9 players. The nine of them instantly collapsed onto the ground and died. Well, Bull Demon King was a Tanker with slightly thicker 'skin. So he managed to survive that wave of attack with a low HP bar. The other 4 Healers and 5 Hunters got away for the moment because they were standing at the rear.

Summoning Phoenix pet!

"Felice! Little Fiery! I'll leave the rest to you!"

Felice let out a roar and charged towards the players together with Phoenix pet.

"You! You're Zhan Yu!" Upon seeing the Phoenix pet, everyone had finally knew Zhang Yang's identity! Unfortunately, everything was too late now!

Let the slaughtering begin! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Zhang Yang felt no remorse for taking on this kind of people. Phoenix pet and Felice were both Ascended Tier now. Each of them only needed two normal strikes to take out one player. It did not take long before the tens of them were slaughtered up! Bull Demon King could not believe his own eyes after witnessing everything that just happened right before his eyes. His eyes were widened up as his body collapsed to the ground. If he could have known earlier about Zhang Yang's identity, he would have used everything he had to butter Zhang Yang up instead of robbing him!

Well, an attempt to repay a generous act with enmity had backfired. Now, he has tasted his own medicine!

Blazing Coral was stunned to see what happened as well. Then she said, "You're the real Zhan Yu?"

"Hehe!" Zhang Yang revealed his personal information to the girl. The long *ss title right above Zhang Yang's head stunned Blazing Coral for a brief moment.

"Guildmaster Zhan Yu, can I join Lone Desert Smoke?" Blazing Coral had already automatically proposed, before Zhang Yang could 'seduce' her into joining his guild.

Zhang Yang could not help but laugh. He purposely pretended to think for a moment and said, "Alright! But you will have to undergo a probation stage. If your performance is not good enough, you might be kicked out of the guild, you know?"

"Rest assured that I'll definitely try my best!"

Zhang Yang nodded and invited the girl to join his guild. Blazing Coral immediately accepted the invitation and became the newest member of the Lone Desert Smoke.

After that, Zhang Yang also passed the fragment of [Shadow Meister Inheritance] over to Blazing Coral. Then he said, "This is a small gift for joining my guild!"

Because Inheritance Fragments could only be carried in the inventory of a player, Zhang Yang had been carrying that piece of fragment ever since he got it.

"This... this is too good to be a gift!" Blazing Coral could not believe the fact that joining Lone Desert Smoke could get such a good treat. Upon joining, she has been given a Class A Inheritance? Wow! There was no other guild that would do that!

She suddenly blushed and said, "Guildmaster, I'm sorry! My heart already belongs to someone else!"

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment. She mistakenly thought that Zhang Yang was trying to get to her heart! Zhang Yang could not help to smile bitterly. Well, it is really hard to be a good guy, these days.

Chapter 845: Maya the Devourer

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Because Bull Demon King could not pick up the loots in time before he was slaughtered, the loots had all went to waste. The system would probably flush everything away after an hour or less.

Zhang Yang had no need for any new equipment for the moment. However, he did feel that the few [Lesser Demonic Pearls] would be wasted. However, Holy Tier bosses were not like the Ascended Tier and Celestial Tier bosses. They were much easier to find. Therefore, it would be simpler to search them, slaughter them up and acquire [Lesser Demonic Pearls] upon killing them. Currently, the Auction House had these Demonic Pearls on sale already. However, the price of each pearl was unbelievably high! One Lesser Demonic Pearl could cost up to 1,000,000 gold pieces. It was obvious that those who were selling these pearls were trying to suck off people's wallets!

Well, one Lesser Demonic Pearl should cost about 10,000 gold pieces, at most. Meanwhile, a Greater Demonic Pearl should cost 1,000,000 gold pieces. That should sound about right. An increase of 60% additional success rate would allow one player to get his or her equipment up to 4 Upgrade with a 100% success rate. Whoever's rich, could easily enhance their equipment up to a 6 Upgrade.

Blazing Coral set off to gather the remaining pieces of the Inheritance Fragments. Meanwhile, Zhang Yang stayed behind. Well, even though he did not care about the equipment, he did not want to let Bull Demon King get them as well. It was not because he was vengeful, or what. He couldn't just let a selfish bastard like Bull Demon King to get away with what he had just committed.

The equipment and the dead body of the boss vanished after an hour of waiting. Well, there goes the loot full of good stuff. Zhang Yang grinned for a while before he hopped onto Phoenix pet and disappeared into the sky.

After that, Bull Demon King and the others quickly resurrected themselves on the spot. However, right after they started to sit down and take their Snacks, Zhang Yang circled back suddenly and swung his [Frost Destroyer's Blade] across their necks! After just a few seconds, they were all slaughtered up once again and reported themselves to the nearest Graveyard.

Bull Demon King and the others were so terrified by Zhang Yang's presence. However, they quickly selected to resurrect on the spot. These players were not on the same side, in the first place. Well, it was a fact that they had just lost the loot dropped from a Holy Tier boss. Therefore they were infuriated just by the thought of it. Well, everyone knew the fact that everything happened because Bull Demon King and his goons had broken their promise for selfish reasons. Instantly, they began to punch each other in the guts and an in-fighting soon started.

Zhang Yang shook his head after looking down at the chaos. Then, he left the vicinity on his Phoenix pet.

Grinding! Grinding! Grinding!

In order to acquire the first chance of challenging the Celestial Tier boss, every guild once again started grinding like hell. All of the parties from top Tier guilds were busting their *sses, trying to grind as effectively as possible. Their main intention was to reach Level 230 as soon as they are able to. By doing that, they could remove the restriction of the Level Gap Suppression before challenging the fourth Celestial Tier boss in the game!

So far, the players were currently about Level 222. They were just about 8 levels from reaching Level 230. Normally, they would need approximately 80 days of constant grinding in order to reach that level. However, with their current high Tier equipment and restless grindings, the players managed to shorten the time to 60 or even 50 days!

Zhang Yang had also been keeping an eye on the movement of the Hua Yi Trust Fund while he was grinding his butt off. However, the Hua Yi Trust Fund was fighting back. They actually attempted to do an 'Reverse Takeover' instead. The war between these two companies had become even more fierce and complicated than before. If Zhang Yang wins this battle, the Hua Yi Trust Fund would change its name to 'Zhang'. However, if he ever loses the battle, his company would be suffering a loss far from what anyone could imagine. The estimated amount would be at least 150,000,000,000!

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang felt a chill up his spine, because the bank began to hustle his company to pay the bank back!

Obviously, his enemies have found out that Zhang Yang is the one attempting to purchase the stocks of Hua Yi Trust Fund from the shadows. It seemed that Madam Zhong had used her forces of the 'dark' to do something behind the shadows. Zhang Yang's company still had over half a year before his company was required to pay back the loans. The bank had stated that their staffs did not verify the statement or whatever correctly. Well, they came with a 'valid' reason, stating that they wanted to end the loan at an earlier time. So, Zhang Yang now had to pay back the loans in one week or he shall be attending a court session!

If the loan was cut, Zhang Yang was forced into an extremely difficult situation!

After giving it some thoughts for quite a while, he made a call.

...

Time flies. Two months had passed in a blink of an eye. The top Tier players managed to reach Level 230 and beyond. Well, that should prove that those lunatics are really insane! However, some of them did not use their game helmets at all. They used the game capsule to sync into the game. So, they could settle their meals, their sleeps, and their sh*ts in one place. Of course, they would be much more efficient in their grinding process!

Although Zhang Yang is rich enough to buy a game capsule, he was no longer a hikikomori who would be cooped up in his room, all day long. He's currently the CEO of a large-scale company who had beautiful wives. So, he could not afford to spend all his time staying in a game capsule. Therefore, he buried his urge to buy a game capsule without hesitation and continued using his game helmet.

At the end of it, Zhang Yang was still the first one to reach Level 230.

With his current Defence power, Zhang Yang could lure a large quantity of Elite Tier monsters at the same time. With the support from his Phoenix pet's AoE Attacks, Zhang Yang could earn a substantial amount of Experience Points in a short period of time. So, it made sense that he would be the first to reach the required level.

Upon reaching Level 230, Zhang Yang went straight over to Antia Mountains to take a closer look at the Skills of the Level 260 Celestial Tier boss. If the boss also has the {Song of Despair} that seemed like a buggy Skill, it would be wiser for Zhang Yang to trigger the quest first, acquiring an advantage over the others.

This Level 260 Celestial Tier boss was a Spectral King called 'Maya the Devourer'.

[Maya the Devourer, One of the Seven Spectre Kings] (Celestial, Spectre)

Level: 260

HP: 100,000,000,000

Defence: 100,000

Magic Resistance: 100,000

Melee Attack: 720,576 – 920,576

Magic Attack: 426,310 – 526,310

Skills:

[Explosive Blow: Causes 100% Melee Attack of Physical Damage to the target. Upon hitting the target, causes 400,000 Shadow Damage to all targets within the range of 50 meters around the target. Cooldown: 5 seconds

[Shadow Arrow: Causes 200% Magic Attack with Physical Damage to the target. Instant. Cooldown: 2 seconds. Range: 2 meters.

[Dark Vortex: Creates 16 vortexes in the surroundings. Players who get sucked into any of the vortexes would lose 3% HP. Lasts for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes

[Devour: Upon devouring a soul, Maya will recover 1% HP. The recovery will not be affected by any other effect. The target devoured will die immediately. Range: 300 meters. Cooldown: 30 seconds

[Hardening Transformation: Increases body mass. Increases 100% additional Defence and 100% additional Magic Resistance. Lasts until the effect wears off.

[Lose Control: Aggro becomes chaotic and randomly picks a target to attack. Lasts for 10 seconds.

[No Escape: Upon entering the area of 300 meters from Maya, targets will acquire one effect. Once the targets get 300 meters further from Maya, the players will die immediately, regardless of the players' remaining HP.

[Death Mark: When Maya is killed. Players will get this effect. Upon entering an area of 1,000 meters from Maya's dead body, players will be instantly killed. Effect lasts for 72 hours.

Note: Maya was once a bard. However, after witnessing how a conqueror dominated the land with darkness, Maya became the general of the resistance. After dying for the cause, his hatred towards the corrupted conquerors have brought him back to life as a Spectre. Because of that, he has acquired an enhanced Spectral power!

Unlike the demons, the Spectre Kings were once humans, elves. After being resurrected by the Spectral force, their bodies would remain normal in size. Unlike the Demon Lord Kenzack, none of them were hundreds of meters tall. Furthermore, Maya had retained his human form. Well, he was considered the highest form of a Spectre, after all. Greenish light would flash across his eyes once in a while. That was the only characteristic that gave away his Spectral nature.

When Zhang Yang noticed that the boss had over 100,000,000,000 HP, he forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

What the hell?! Isn't that insane!?

That {Devour} would function like {Spectre's Constitution,} which could recover HP once every 30 seconds. The worst part about it was that the Skill would not be affected by the effect of {Destructive Smash}! With a total of 100,000,000,000 HP, each recovery would recover over 10,000,000,000 HP! In other words, the boss could heal over 33,000,000 in each second!

The two parties that Zhang Yang built were indeed powerful. However, they would not have enough firepower to deal more than 33,000,000 damage to counter the recovery rate of the boss. Even if everyone activates their Inheritance Transformations, they would not deal so much damage in a single second. Well, even if they could deal so much damage, it wouldn't be possible for them to deplete the insanely long HP bar of the boss in 2 hours!

Furthermore, the boss's Defence and Magic Resistance had reached over 200,000! Players with a full set of Ethereal Tier equipment would not even be able to penetrate the Defence of the boss, not even by the slightest chance! Even if the Lone Desert Smoke upgrades their guild into a Level 10 Guild and sends 100,000 players over to challenge the boss, they would still be struggling like ants. They would only be able to slightly increase the DPS of the guild!

The only good news was that the boss had the Skill {Hardening Transformation}. When the body mass of the boss increases, more players would be able to hit the boss at the same time. Furthermore, the boss did not actually have a decent AoE Skill. Well, the boss's {Dark Vortex} should count as one, though. However, the Skill did not have any special effects that would deal a lot of damage to whoever who gets hit. On the other hand, if other bosses use their {Tornado Cleave}, they could deal damage across an area of 300-meter radius. As long as players are within range, they would suffer the damage head-on.

Therefore, this boss could potentially be swarmed up by players and beaten to its death, eventually. However, judging from the length of HP bar the boss had and the HP recovery rate of the boss, the boss battle would be torturously long!

Other than that, Maya was currently located on top of a mountain. Countless Spectre monsters were already roaming by the mountainside. Those monsters were all Level 250 Elite Tier monsters! As not all players had a Flying Mount, the players would need to clear a path up to the mountaintop before they could reach the boss!

Meanwhile, those Elite Tier monsters would be respawned again, after 15 hours. By then, the players would need to spend some time to clear them out once again! If the boss battle exceeds 30 hours, the players would need to clear out the Elite monsters twice. If the boss battle exceeds 45 hours, the players would need to clear out the Elite monsters thrice!

Although Maya's HP was substantial, Maya could only be deemed as a civilian-type boss. The boss' AoE attacks were not deadly at all. Players could use their numbers as the advantage to push the boss back. Theoretically speaking, as long as the players are numerous enough, any guild should be capable of killing the boss, eventually.

Well, tens or hundreds of players would not be sufficient to take down this boss. It seemed that the players would need to combine the strength of at least 10 guilds in order to get enough players to take the boss down!

Zhang Yang went back and told everyone about the attributes of the boss. Everyone was shocked and surprised, of course. Although they were not willing to share the loots with the other guilds, however, they couldn't just take down the boss all by themselves. It seemed that they had no other way of solving this.

Although the boss also had some 'underlings', those 'underlings' were still Elite Tier monsters. Zhang Yang would need to kill them with his own bare hands in order to summon his demons through his 'Gate of Hell'. By the time he is able to summon the 1000th demons, the first one that he summoned earlier on would already be unsummoned back to the demon realm.

Other than that, even though Maya did not have any AoE Skills that could cover most of the battlefield, the boss could still rely on his {Dark Vortex} to deal damage worth 99% HP of his targets immediately. Well. That Skill basically ignored the targets' Maximum HP and would get them all heavily wounded in an instant! Summoned demons would not know how to dodge an attack or a Skill. The boss could easily wipe out the entire army of summoned demons!

This boss was wild and ferocious. Because of that, he could nullfiy the effects of the 'Gate of Hell'!

Chapter 846: Drawn-out Battle

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang began to contact the old allies of Lone Desert Smoke. He wanted to gather them all together to challenge Maya.

However, Zhang Yang was surprised to find out that other than Snow Seeker, the other guildmasters did not agree to lend a hand in this. They expressed themselves clearly that they wanted to challenge the boss all on their own. Obviously, they had already found out that the boss did not have a decent 'AoE Skill'. So they were determined to take out the boss with the strength of their own guild. Zhang Yang was so pissed because of that.

It did not take long before the first guild launched their attacks on Maya. The first guild who acted was Paragon from Europe Region.

Things went like Zhang Yang had predicted. The Attack power of Celestial Tier was indeed powerful. However, as long as the main Tanker does not die instantly or gets killed instantly by a series of attacks from the boss, the Tanker could be healed back with hundreds of Healers healing from the rear. Under those circumstances, it would be easy for the Healers to heal a player that is losing over millions of HP in a set of time.

Meanwhile, although the {Dark Votex} could really pack a punch, players who get sucked into the vortexes with full HP state would still have 1% HP left when they get back out from the vortex. They wouldn't die on the spot, though. Meanwhile, the Skill had a 2-minute cooldown. That amount of time would be sufficient for the players to heal themselves back up again.

The biggest headache was the boss's {Lose Control}. The boss would turn away from the Tanker and attack one player at random. Meanwhile, the impact of the {Explosive Blow} would spread out to other players upon contact with the target. Well, 500,000 damage could instantly end those who have just escaped the 'Dark Vortexes'.

However, no matter what, this boss was still weaker, compared to the previous few Celestial Tier bosses that revealed themselves before. Under the leadership of God's Left Hand, Paragon had battled the boss for over two full days!

By the end of it, the boss annihilated the entire Paragon guild by merely spamming its {Explosive Blow}! Because of the {Death Mark}, players who are killed by the boss were not be able to continue the fight with the boss for the next 3 days. Having not been able to last to the third day of the battle, Paragon had lost their capability to replace their ranks with new 'blood'. All of their members were killed by the boss!

On the other side, when the Paragon was wiped out, the boss still had over 94% HP remaining! It was a depressing situation for anyone to see it!

Well, 100,000,000,000 HP would cause the boss to have a recovery rate of 33,330,000 HP per second. Meanwhile, the boss also had over 200,000 Defence and Magic Resistance! With those combined, the boss would be immortal! The boss was nearly unkillable! That's right. Even though the boss had not much Attack power, to begin with, the boss could still mash the players slowly to their demise with its super long-*ss HP bar! The boss actually managed to do that to one of the top Tier guilds! From a certain point of view, this type of bosses would be much more annoying than those ferocious type of bosses! Maya had 'depleted' all the top Tier players in Paragon in over 2 days! For both players', mental and physical health, that's torturous as f*ck!

The top Tier guilds calmed themselves down for the moment. Meanwhile, many other guilds were charging into the battlefield, attempting to battle the boss. They thought that they finally stood a chance against a Celestial Tier boss. However, the Attack power of Maya was not weak either. Using {Explosive Blow} and {Shadow Arrow} consecutively throughout the battle, the boss managed to instantly kill 99% of the Tankers without Inheritance Transformations at the current stage of the game!

Without a Tanker keeping the boss occupied, the boss could just kill the other players in the surroundings, one at a time! With the support from its {Explosive Blow} and {Dark Vortex}, the boss could easily wipe out an entire guild, once provided with enough time.

Theoretically speaking, it seemed easy to take down the boss. There was no tactic required in such a boss battle at all. However, reality was very different.

After many failed attempts, Hourglass Figure took the initiative to gather more than 10 top Tier guilds in order to challenge the boss again!

"The boss does not actually have a decent AoE Skill. But we're getting our *sses kicked, even after we tried so hard! It's possible that after all out hard work to take down the boss, when the boss is finally dead, those cunning ones could easily send a few Thieves to steal all the loots by the end of it!" Zhang Yang agreed to join in. However, he had a different idea of how to distribute the loots though.

Unlike battling Rougelier, Maya did not have the ability to cause any devastating AoE attacks. It would make it easy for the Thieves to sneak over and steal the loots while the guildmasters are still considering what equipment and items to take!

"Guildmaster Zhan Yu, what do you currently have in mind, then?"

"We shall take on the boss together. However, when the loot drops, it's everyone for themselves. Those who act quickly will gain more from it!"

After all, there was no absolute way of confirming that everyone would get the loot by the end of it. Instead of leaving the loots out there for others to steal, why not make it more fun by snatching then? Everyone gets a fair chance to snatch!

After a brief moment of consideration, Hourglass figure and the other guildmasters agreed to it. Well, back when they were battling against Rougelier, they did spend a lot of time picking up the loots. If there are Thieves in the surroundings when they are busy picking up the loot, the loot would be stolen in the snap of a finger.

"Let's settle it like that, then!"

Everyone had ended up on the same page.

Zhang Yang went back to inform his gang, "… so, when the boss dies, we'll need to act quickly! No mercy to those who act slowly!"

"Rest assured that nothing good will slip through our fingers! You have me, and cousin sis!" Wei Yan Er tapped her chest and said.

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Other than that, make sure you survive until the end. If you die during the boss battle, you cannot get near to the boss for the next 72 hours. If the boss dies within that 72 hours after you, you won't be able to snatch the loot!"

"Roger!"

"However, the boss's {Devour} and {Lose Control} are picking targets at random, right? What if we're not lucky, then?"

Zhang Yang gave it some thoughts and said, "{Lose Control} is random, for sure. But the {Devour} still has a limited effective area. According to my observation for the past few days, {Devour} will only be used on players who are not Tankers. Also, the targets must be on the top 20 on the list of the boss's aggro, or the last 20 on the list of the boss's aggro. That's why people misunderstood the Skill as random!"

"Does that mean that we'll be safe, as long as our aggro does not get into the top 20?"

"Hmm, that's right. Remember to reserve your special Skills to clear out your aggro. Once the aggro value reaches a certain level, just use it to clear out the aggro. Our target is more than just killing the boss. We need to secure as many loot as possible!"

3 days later, 11 guilds began to gather before the boss.

Ever since there were players over Level 230, the boss no longer had the luxury to sit quietly and enjoy peace. From time to time, there would be guilds or assault parties attempting to attack Maya. When Zhang Yang and the others arrived at the scene, there were already tens of thousands of players surrounding the boss, throwing their best attacks at the boss. Unfortunately for them, their main Tanker was dead, so the boss was wiping them out.

Well, no prairie fire can completely burn the grass, after all. The number of Level 230 players was increasing by the second. The boss was only getting busier and busier every single passing day. Well, it seemed that Maya no longer had the chance to live a peaceful life -- unless Maya could just toss a Celestial Tier equipment out to the players and roars, "You pitiful beings! Will it satisfy you if I just give you this!?"

It seemed impossible for them to clear out the other players at the moment. Although everyone on the 11 guilds were top Tier players in the entire server, they would still be drowned by the sheer number of players in the vicinity at that moment. Well, one spit from the tens of millions of players in the area would literally drown anyone!

That was also one of the many reasons why Zhang Yang did not want to agree to distributing the loots one by one -- there'd be no time for that bullsh*t! There was no need to even think about sending any Thieves! With tens of millions of players in the area, who would be stupid enough to talk about clearing the area!? Well, with one single hit on the boss, anyone would have the 'authority' to pick up the loots!

"Charge!"

Zhang Yang charged towards the boss on his Phoenix pet. Well, he wouldn't activate his {God of War Transformation} at such an early stage of the battle. Who could predict how long the boss battle would be, right? Zhang Yang was wise enough to reserve his {God of War Transformation} until the very end of the battle.

Because the boss's level, Defence and Magic Resistance were far beyond the standard for the normal Tier players to handle, they could only deal 1 damage to the boss throughout the entire boss battle. However, one clean swing from Zhang Yang's axe could cause up to 700,000 damage on the boss, though. Because of that, he immediately took over the aggro of Maya.

Han Ying Xue, Fantasy Sweetheart, Mini Piglet, Female Raid Covent were the players who had the best equipment in the entire guild. Their Skills in the art of healing were the best among the best. With the four of them focused on healing Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang had no problem at all with tanking the boss. Even though the boss had quite a powerful Attack power, Zhang Yang had over 6,680,000 HP, after all. He also had terrifyingly high Defence as well! Truth be told, he did not really need the support from the four Healers! He only needed two!

Well, it would be better to play it safe, though. Now that the situation was totally out of hand, no one could predict if some lunatic might take that opportunity to attempt killing Zhang Yang! Everyone should be aware of that, as well. Well, it would be stupid if players drop their own equipment before getting anything from the boss!

"Endless pieces of mother-- Imbeciles!" Maya continued to roar in rage while it was swinging its sword around. Although its HP bar did not move much at all, getting hit by the players for over a couple days non-stop had really infuriated the boss.

Unfortunately for the boss, it did not possess any decent AoE Skills. Even though the {Dark Vortex} is powerful, the Skill could not instantly kill anyone. That had really limited the boss's killing ability.

When top Tier players such as Zhang Yang surround the boss, the firepower of the players suddenly shot up! The HP bar of the boss finally started to drop visibly!

However, Maya would use its {Devour} once every 30 seconds to recover over 1,000,000,000 HP! That was enough to make 99.9% of the Attacks go to waste!

Fortunately for the players, everyone came prepared, knowing that this would be a drawn-out battle. None of them were expecting the boss to be taken out within hours.

About an hour later, the boss's HP had only dropped by 0.5%! That was an extremely low rate, and no one could actually believe with their eyes, even though they were prepared for it!

At the current rate, the players would need approximately 200 hours before they can completely empty out the boss's HP! That would be a total of 8 days! Even though it was just 8 days of in-game time, that would mean 3 full days in the real life… well… one must really enter a game capsule, under those circumstances.

Everyone went to the boss with super high morale. However, the players would begin to feel tired after a long time of battling the boss. Once they get distracted by that, they might not be able to come back with the same level of morale to take the boss on. If that ends up true, the players would need more than just 8 days to take out the boss. They may need 9 or even 10 days for that!

Although Zhang Yang had predicted this to be a drawn-out battle, the duration required to kill the boss was far longer than expected. He wouldn't last that long in-game.

However, since the battle had begun, Zhang Yang could not find any reason to retreat now. He would still need to carry on the battle for quite some time before he could retreat, BY then, he should be able to use his {Shadow of the Void} to get free of the boss so that he could go offline to settle his 'personal' stuffs such as eating, resting and, you know…'personal stuff'.

Well, it was an extreme battle of wills!

"My vortexes! Kill all these living imbeciles for me!" the boss roared out loud and activated its {Dark Vortex}. 16 dark vortexes appeared in the surroundings out of nowhere and began to whirl around the boss in an area with a radius of 300-meters!

Chapter 847: Takedown

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The abundant number of players had clogged up the surroundings of the boss. Players without Flying Mounts were not even able to move freely. They could not even dodge the attacks of the boss. They could only witness themselves getting sucked into the vortexes, and their HP bars getting reduced at an insanely fast pace. Right after they get out of the vortexes, they would have lost over 99% HP!

The players were from different Regions after all. So when some of them are using Skills such as {Tornado Cleave}, they would accidentally wound the players from different Regions with their attacks as well. As many of them had lost quite a number of HP during the boss battle, they would just die on the spot right after they receive the attacks from the {Dark Vortex}.

Fortunately, the top Tier players were all equipped with a Flying Mount, at the very least. So, when the vortexes began to swirl across the area, countless players began to fly up into the sky, one after another. At the same time, many of them had also activated their Inheritance Transformations. Obviously, it would take at least 9 days before they could get the boss down to its knees. They could at least use their Inheritance Transformations twice before using the third to snatch loots when the boss battle is finally over.

Well, it was easy to understand why the players did that in the first place. However, top Tier players like Zhang Yang still did not use their Inheritance Transformations. Why? The reason was simple. Because once players are 300 meters away from the boss, there would be a transparent dome covering the entire area. Whoever who tries to get more than 300 meters from the boss would be instantly killed.

If the players ever use their Inheritance Transformation now, they would lose more than they could imagine if they ever get rounded up by other players.

For instance, Hourglass Figure had quite a number of Celestial Tier equipment. If she ever dies and drop her equipment… well… for the other players, a top Tier player from a top Tier guild would be similar to the existence of a Celestial Tier boss. Killing one of them would mean that they would stand a chance to drop Celestial Tier equipment! If the opportunity ever presents itself, why would anyone pass it up, then?

Therefore, Inheritance Transformations should be reserved for life-saving and warning purposes. Even if the top Tier players are surrounded by those greedy bastards, they could still fight back and slaughter them up by using their Inheritance Transformations as one of the last resorts.

Well, normal Tier players could only deal 1 forced damage to the boss. Therefore, 95% of the total firepower came from most of the players who had reached Level 230 and beyond. In other words, most of the attacks came from the players from top Tier guilds. So when some of them entered their Transformed forms, their attacks became even more powerful.

Unfortunately, Inheritance Transformations would only last for 2 hours.

When the duration for their Inheritance Transformations came to an end, the HP of the boss had only dropped to 97.2%. They were still very, very far from taking out the boss!

Zhang Yang's movements have become a fixed pattern. He only needed to repeat the movements like a robot to activate his high-damage Skills at the boss. Whichever Skills come available, he only needed to spam them on the boss. There was nothing else for him to think! Well, it was because there were no Status Restriction Skills at all. As long as Zhang Yang remains first on the boss's aggro list, it wouldn't hurt much at all for him to waste some potential damage output by spamming Skills like there is no tomorrow.

The players had started with battle cries and roars. However, they had simmered down now. By the end of it, they had totally stopped with all the shouting and screaming. Even Fatty Han and Endless Starlight were too tired to even tease the ladies. Everyone was just dealing damage to the boss in silence.

Truth be told, the boss was not difficult to handle at all. However, the long duration required for the players to take down Maya had made this the worst and most difficult boss battle in history.

Currently, the players had Zhang Yang keeping the boss occupied, kiting the boss around. However, the boss's {Dark Vortex} and {Lost Control} could still pose quite a threat to the players in the surroundings. Many players had fallen because of that. For the next three days, those who already reported themselves at the graveyard would not be able to join back into the battle. However, the number of players were just too abundant! For every 10 deaths, 100 fresh players would rush in! The only concern was that they could not deal much damage to the boss. Well, each player with a full set of Holy Tier equipment could only deal thousands of damage to the boss.

4 hours, 5 hours... 10 hours... 20 hours!

Zhang Yang could no longer keep up with the pace. He quickly sent Sun Xin Yu a message and used his {Shadow of the Void} right after. Then, he immediately went offline and took off his game helmet.

Right after he took off his game helmet, he ran straight to the kitchen. It was currently 7p.m. It was about time to have dinner now.

Ever since Luo Yu Rou was pregnant, Zhang Yang had hired a chef to make meals rich with Chinese herbs and medicine for her. Well, because Wei Yan Er stole some of the meals and it became her habit of doing so, everyone had changed their diet and were used to taking herbal meals by now. At first, the chef did not agree to cook for them. She had only promised to do it for short term. To keep working for them, Zhang Yang had no choice but to offer her a greater deal of money. He even bought a villa for the chef and her family. After settling the worries of her family, the chef decided to continue cooking for them.

Well, this chef is a really good cook! If the dishes she made were to be compared to the dishes in a five-star restaurant, anyone would believe that the money Zhang Yang spent was well spent! Furthermore, the purpose of Zhang Yang earning more money was to live a luxurious life. What's the use of keeping all the money to himself, then? Why would he want to take the money with him into his own coffin?

Although Luo Yu Rou did not really 'play''God's Miracle', she had been spending quite a lot of time in the game as well. Well, one of the main reasons was because she wanted to focus on completing her second 'product'. Well, the game did provide her a time that was three times longer in the game that she could get in the real life. Furthermore, she has the experience of making a movie before. Therefore, she was currently very near to completing her second movie.

Zhang Yang, Wei Yan Er and the others were also a small part of the movie. Well, they had cameo'd in the movie for a bit. The little brat actually had more screen time than the other members of the gang, though. Furthermore, Luo Yu Rou somehow gave the little brat quite an important role as well. So now, everything would depend on whether the audiences would buy it or not. If the audience could accept it, Luo Yu Rou would be able to create a second miracle in the box office!

After filling up their stomachs and after a moment of rest, everyone logged back into the game.

Actually, it is quite dangerous for any player in the server to go offline while in the middle of a boss battle, or any other battle for that matter! Well, that was because if they log back into the game 300 meters from the boss, they would just die on the spot!

Fortunately, the Tankers from the Hell Family, Land of Savages and other top Tier guilds had taken over the role of tanking the boss for the moment. Everyone was facing the similar situation now. They needed to get offline to eat and handle their personal 'issues'. If anyone was stupid enough to try something funny on the other players, they would have to face the wrath of many others.

Therefore, even though the boss would run around whenever its {Lost Control} is triggered, it would not take long before the boss is pulled back to its initial position by the Tankers.

The moment when Zhang Yang logged back into the game, he immediately summoned his Phoenix pet and Felice. Then, the three of them charged right at the boss and gave everything they got on the boss. Well, he could not afford to hold back, now. After all, if he gets too little aggro, he might receive the boss' {Devour} and die immediately.

Zhang Yang would fail a little at getting the aggro of the boss once in a while. So, he unequipped his shield to maximize his damage output.

Other than the boss's {Dark Votex} and {Explosive Blow}, {Devour} was also considered one of the boss' ultimate Skill. Whoever who gets targeted will die. There was no other way out of it. Many players who did not know how the Skill actually worked would die horrific deaths and opt to resurrect at the graveyard.

Although it had been quite some time, the boss still had over 92% HP. It seemed it would still take ages before they can take down the boss…

One day, two days, three days... eight days, nine days!

The players were taking turns to rest during the boss battle. However, when the ninth day ended, the boss' HP bar finally dropped to 5%!

Well, that was a record that would make everyone who participated in the boss battle cry. It took a full 9 days for all of them to remove 95% of the boss's HP! What kind of sick joke is that?! The worst part about it was that all of Zhang Yang's attempts of casting the {Glare of the Death God} on the boss had been resisted! Or else, each successful attempt of the Skill could have saved over half a day for them! That could have made a lot more difference!

Finally, the boss battle seemed to be coming to an end now!

At first, everyone was numbed by the 9 day repetition. However, when they noticed that the boss battle was about to come to an end, their morale increased, instantly. Even though they knew that it would still take about 10 hours to deplete the last 5% HP of the boss, at least they were very near the end, now!

4%, 3%, 2%, 1%!

The remaining HP of Maya had dropped to 1,000,000,000 HP!

That was the moment they've been waiting for. Every single one of the top Tier players activated their Inheritance Transformations at the same time!

{Charge Up Strike}! {Sky Slicer}!

'-5,006,922!''-10,013,844!'...'-50,069,220!'

Zhang Yang began to use his combo-10 axe attacks. The damage each strike increased from approximately 5,000,000 to 50,000,000 damage!

Zhang Yang's assaults were so powerful that it made the boss's Defence seemed useless! He managed to deal a total of 275,000,000 Physical Damage to the boss within merely 10 seconds! With the 10% additional damage that the {Holy Aura} bestowed on him for the moment, his total damage dealt on the boss had reached over 300,000,000 damage!

Sun Xin Yu, Hourglass Figure, and the others had also given their best shot. They threw out their most powerful attacks on the boss in an attempt to kill the boss before the boss could use its {Devour} again!

600,000,000! 500,000,000! 400,000,000! 300,000,000!

After the top Tier players activated their Inheritance Transformations, their Attack power had increased tremendously. They were also spamming their Skills with very long cooldowns, increasing their DPS to another whole new level!

200,000,000! 100,000,000! 50,000,000! 10,000,000!

17 seconds later, it was obvious that the boss would not be able to use its {Devour} again in time to heal!

5,000,000!

2,000,000!

1,000,000!

"No! No! NO!" The boss kept roaring in rage until its last drop of HP was gone. After that, the boss collapsed to the ground heavily, and dropped a substantial amount of loot!

Everyone immediately turned hostile against each other and began to snatch as much loot as they could!

It was time for everyone to outshine each other, in order to get as many stuff as they could!

Zhang Yang took an [Advanced Mobility Potion (Transmutation Grade 6)] and which immunized him from any form of Status Restriction Effects for 20 seconds.

{Blast Wave}!

Zhang Yang smashed the ground with his axe and created a conical area of shockwave, out front. The shockwave stunned all of the players within the effective area immediately. After that, he took the opportunity to snatch as many loot as he could.

At the same instant, Sun Xin Yu, Hourglass Figure, God's Left Hand and the others began to use the same tactic like Zhang Yang. They were restricting the others around them while attempting to avoid being affected by any other Status Restriction Effects. Then, they quickly picked up as many stuff as they could. From that moment onward, the entire place was very merry. All sorts of Skills could be seen flashing across the battlefield at every moment!

How many players were left on the battlefield after the boss died? Well, there were over tens of millions of players remaining in the vicinity at the moment, for sure. Although it wouldn't be possible for them to gush into the same spot at the same instance, there were also quite a number of players who had Flying Mounts. If each of them used only one Status Restriction Skill at the same time, the entire situation would become chaotic!

Snatch! Snatch! Snatch!

Zhang Yang reached out with both hands like an old gambler in a casino! Shoof! Shoof! Shoof! Instantly, 3 new equipment had appeared in his inventory!

Although the boss' loot were numerous, they were cleared out of the ground in one brief instance. There were just too many players around to pick them up! In just 3 seconds, the entire ground became empty!

"Kill!"

It was still good for those who managed to pick up something. However, for those who got nothing after ten days of restless battling, of course, they were not willing leave the place empty handed! They raised up their weapons and started attacking the others indiscriminately.

A chaotic battle had erupted!

Zhang Yang and the gang would not waste their time participating in such a messy battle, of course. So they flew into the air to get themselves out of the messy battlefield. After flying far away from the battlefield, they took out their Teleportation Scrolls and traveled back to Holy City.

It was time to distribute the loots!

"Wahaha! Noob Tank, I've managed to get two equipment!"

"I have three, yo!" Han Ying Xue smacked the little brat's head.

After making a number count on the equipment everyone got, there was a total of 14 equipment. Among the 7 Celestial Tier equipment, 5 of them were actually Armor Set pieces while the other 2 were just spare parts. The other 7 among the 14 were just Ascended Tier equipment. Other than that, there were also a few pieces of [Greater Demonic Pearls, some Skill Books and other negligible items.

Chapter 848: Demon Lord Hulkinsh

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although they couldn't get all of the Celestial Tier items from the boss, having 5 Celestial Tier Armor Set pieces and two Celestial Tier normal pieces should suffice. After all, the boss had only dropped about 13 to 14 pieces of Celestial Tier equipment upon its death! Well, Zhang Yang and his gang had already taken half of the total amount! If they were still not content with their achievement, they should be struck by lightning a couple of times!

"Aaah! It would have been great if we're the only guild that killed the boss!" Fatty Han was speaking out of his greed.

Everyone had gotten used to taking down a boss with their party of 10, or their party of twenty over the past years. So now that they had to share the loot with the others, they still felt a little disgruntled about it.

"It's a special boss, so we had no choice!" Zhang Yang tapped Fatty Han's shoulder and said. Well, it was utterly true that Maya was a boss that can never be taken down by merely one guild.

"Quick! Distribute now!" Wei Yan Er started poking others like a little impatient monkey.

Unfortunately, none of the 5 Celestial Tier Armor Set pieces belonged to Guardians. The five necklaces were given to Sun Xin Yu, Han Ying Xue, Fatty Han, Wei Yan Er and Female Raid Covent. However, Zhang Yang was not disappointed at all. Well, he managed to acquire a new shield.

[Holy Light's Blessing] (Celestial, Shield)

Defence: 47,385

Vitality: 178,394

Equip: Increases Maximum HP by 356,780 points.

Equip: When hit, absorbs 18,055 damage.

Equip: Increases Passive Damage Immunity by 10%.

Equip: Upon a successful block, there is a 10% rate that you can recover 1% HP.

Required Level: 260

Special: Reduces Required Level by 30 levels.

A shield could be considered the face of a Tanker. It would decide how the Tanker looks for a long time! Meanwhile, this shield seemed to be the pinnacle of shields, in both attributes and Special Effects.

Well, this shield is worthy to be deemed as a Celestial Tier equipment!

It would bestow Zhang Yang with approximately additional 180,000 HP if Zhang Yang just equips it. Under the boost of his {Vitality Aura}, he could get his Maximum HP up to 2,500,000! Meanwhile, a normal shield would only have one Special Effect. This shield had two Special Effects, though.

With the additional 10% Passive Damage Immunity combining with the Special Effect of having two pieces of Armor Set pieces, Zhang Yang would have over 50% Passive Damage Immunity! Well, this 50% Passive Damage Immunity would stay forever on him! Even if Zhang Yang did not have any Damage Absorption effects, he would still only receive half of the damage that he is supposed to receive! What kind of madness would that be?

Furthermore, Zhang Yang also has his {Rock Solid}. Whenever he activates that Skill, he would have over 80% Passive Damage Immunity!

The second Special Effect was a little underwhelming, though. Each successful block could only recover 0.001% HP. The enhanced version of {Block} could only be used once every 5 seconds. That would mean that Zhang Yang would only recover 0.0005% HP each second. In other words, Zhang Yang would need 2,000 seconds in order for him to recover to full HP. That would be 33 minutes!

However, Zhang Yang's {Radiance of the God of War} would need 30 minutes to cool down. Well, the amount of HP recovery for this Special Effect was not much different from the amount of HP recovery for {Radiance of the God of War}. Too bad, the amount of HP would only recover overtime, not in an instance like the {Radiance of the God of War}. This Special effect could be used to boost the endurance of Zhang Yang. However, it could not be used to save his life.

After equipping the shield, Zhang Yang's Vitality had reached up to 8,337,790 points, with the support of his {Vitality Aura}! His Defence had also reached up to 57,625 points while his Damage Absorption had reached up to 49,348 points. Now that he had acquired a 50% Passive Damage Immunity, his enemies would need to deal at least 156,321 damage before they can actually deal any damage to Zhang Yang. Well, they also need to deal more than 98,696 Magic damage in order to hurt Zhang Yang!

Zhang Yang has become so insanely powerful, that he might be even beyond godlike now!

Zhang Yang could now easily keep his HP full with merely his {Block,} and his slow recovery rate, even if he comes under the attack of a player with a full set of Level 200 Holy Tier equipment.

Meanwhile, the average player at the current stage of the game was still striving to acquire Ethereal Tier equipment. Not even 10% of the total players in the entire server have managed to acquire a full set of Holy Tier equipment. Zhang Yang could literally walk like a king in the server, merely his Defence, without the need to even activate his Inheritance Transformation!

"You're insane!" Everyone began to flip their middle fingers at Zhang Yang while making complaints.

Zhang Yang grinned for a while. Well, this gang of his used to have the idea of challenging him at the beginning. However, as Zhang Yang had gotten better equipment over the time, even Sun Xin Yu who did not like to lose, no longer challenged him! Instead of a battle, it should be called a torture, by the hands of Zhang Yang of course!

Well, none of them loved being tortured, after all. If they keep getting tortured by Zhang Yang in PvP, they might really lose their mind, one day!

"It's just too bad that there's no extra Celestial Tier equipment. Or else, we could have used some high level 'spare parts' to enhance the Armor Set pieces. Not only can we increase the level of the Armor Set pieces, we can also enhance the attributes of that equipment!" Zhang Yang sighed faintly.

Well, there were all sorts of Celestial Tier bosses, out there. Their levels would range from Level 230 to Level 300. Of course, they would drop Celestial Tier Armor Set as well. However, the levels of that equipment would range from Level 230 to Level 300. Well, the Officials had once announced that if a Level 300 Celestial Tier equipment is fused with a Level 230 Celestial Tier Armor set piece, the new equipment would retain the special effects of the Armor Set equipment. However, the attributes of the new equipment would be at basic Level 300 levels. With another enhancement, the level would increase even further.

Zhang Yang and the others had the [Tesseract] and [Greater Demonic Pearls] to aid them in enhancing their equipment up to 6 upgrades without any risks at all. However, acquiring a 6 upgrade also meant that the player would need 7 pieces of similar Celestial Tier equipment in terms of armor type and armor part. That would be insanely difficult at the current stage of the game. No, it would still be insanely difficult even in the future!

If Snow Seeker and the others could hear Zhang Yang sighing at such a thing, they would definitely be super mad about it! Each of them only had about one Celestial Tier equipment on them. However, Zhang Yang was already considering the idea of fusing Celestial Tier equipment to enhance his equipment and get better ones! His thoughts would be considered luxurious as f*ck!

"So everyone, do your best and grind well. Get to Level 235 or Level 240 as soon as you can. We're going to take down the next Celestial Tier boss. This time, we're taking the boss all to ourselves!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Yang was currently Level 232. However, Hourglass Figure, who was second in place on the list of level ranking, was just Level 230, currently. Even though the two-level gap seemed small, it would take approximately half a month for Hourglass Figure to catch up to Zhang Yang's current level.

New dungeons would be available to the players, once they reach Level 230. Well, there were four dungeons, to be exact. Of course, they were Grouped Dungeons. One was a 10-player scale dungeon and the other three were just 5-player scaled dungeons. They were named the 'Devil's Ridge'. They were strongholds built upon the foundations of the 'Demon's Descend' patch. Players would be required to finish them off to prevent any further unforeseen events in the future.

However, the top Tier guilds had put all of their attention on Celestial Tier bosses, now. They had no intention of challenging the four dungeons as of now. By the end of it, the 'First Clear' of those four dungeons were acquired by four unknown guilds.

Well, players with Inheritance Transformations would be far better to perform at their best, if the scale of dungeons were any smaller. Obviously, that would reduce the difficulty of the dungeons. Therefore, from Normal Mode to Hard Mode, and from Hard Mode to Hardcore Mode, the four dungeons were cleared within a day. It was quite obvious that the difficulty of clearing those dungeons were quite easy, to begin with.

Let's look at Zhang Yang now. With his current Defence and Attack, even if he doesn't activate his Inheritance Transformation, he could have cleared the Hardcore Mode of a 5-player or even a 10-player scale dungeon with the aid of Felice's healing ability. Well, that is, if the boss has no HP Recovery Skills, of course.

The Grouped Dungeons were similar to the Spectre's Cavern and the Elemental Lair. Their Normal Mode only dropped Mythical Tier equipment. Their Hard Mode only dropped Ethereal Tier equipment. Last but not least, their Hardcore Mode would drop Holy Tier equipment. Well, even though Zhang Yang had no interest in Level 230 Holy Tier bosses, the equipment would still be very precious to all of his middle-tiered members of his guild.

After all, the number of Ascended Tier and Celestial Tier bosses that have been defeated so far have only reached 50. Even if each of those bosses dropped about 20 equipment, that would only be about 1,000 pieces of equipment. That would not be enough to satisfy so many players in the server. So, the dungeons would be the only place for the players to acquire better equipment to power themselves up.

Zhang Yang started to bring in some parties to clear the four Grouped Dungeons. Firstly, he wanted to gather as many equipment as possible for his guild members. Secondly, the number of monsters in the dungeons were abundant and concentrated. It was much more convenient for him to grind that way. However, when he reaches Level 240, clearing the monsters in these dungeons would not be enough for him anymore.

Another twenty days passed. Zhang Yang managed to level up to Level 235. He immediately went over to Koussou Snowy Mountain.

That place was a Level 210 – 240 map as well. It was just located somewhere among the Misamlock Lake Valley. A Level 265 Celestial Tier boss was hiding quietly there -- the Demon Lord Hulkinsh!

Previously, Zhang Yang was more than 30 levels behind the level of the boss. So, Zhang Yang couldn't see the Skills of the boss. Therefore, when he reached Level 235, the first thing he wanted to settle was to take a closer look at the boss' Skills. By doing so, he would be able to plan out some tactics for him and his gang to take down the boss.

This was a gigantic Hellfire Demon. The boss had the features of the high Tier demons such as two horns on the forehead, a pair of bat wings behind his back and a lizard tail slightly above his butt hole. However, his entire body was engulfed in blazing flames. Because of that, the area around the boss was torched in a sea of flames that seemed unlikely to be put out! The air was burned to the point that the very air seemed twisted.

[Demon Lord Hulkinsh, Hellfire Demon King] (Celestial, Demon)

Level: 265

HP: 26,500,000,000

Defence: 64,540

Melee Attack: 720,663 – 920,663

Magic Attack: 426,538 – 526,538

Skills:

[Hell Rage: Unleashes the raging flames and causes 1,000,000 Fire Damage to all targets within the area of 300 meters.

[Blazing Impale: Spits a stream of flames and torches a conical area before himself, causing 200% Magic Attack of Fire Damage to all targets. Targets will suffer 1% additional damage when struck by fire attacks. Can be stacked. Instant, Cooldown: 2 seconds.

[Furious Hammer Strike: Hammers the target with brute force, causing 100% Melee Attack, Physical Damage to the target.

[Blazing Mine: Randomly plants mine across the area of 300-meter radius. The mine can only be seen for 2 seconds after it is planted. When a player steps on the mine, the mine will explode, causing 1,000,000 Fire Damage to all targets within the area of 30-meter radius from the explosion as the center point. The mine can be disabled by Thieves with their profession Skill {Diffuse}.

[Life of Fire: The damage that Hulkinsh deals will turn into his HP. The HP amount recovered will not be affected by any other effects.

[No Escape: Upon entering 300-meter range from the boss, players will acquire this effect. Once the players with this effect get more than 300 meters further from the boss, the players will die immediately, regardless of their remaining HP amount.

Note: Hulkinsh is the Hellfire Demon King! He's the conqueror of Hellfire! Anyone who attempts to challenge him will be incinerated to dust!

Well... Zhang Yang could no longer stay calm!

Although the boss had the HP, Attack power of a Celestial Tier boss, Hulkinsh had a fatal weakness. Most of his Skills were Fire type Skills! Furthermore, the amount of HP that the boss could recover would depend on the amount of damage he could deal. The amount of HP recovery would differ, based on the boss's performance himself.

Well, it would be hard to say if such a HP Recovery would be good or bad. The more the boss attacks the players, the more HP amount the boss recovers. If the boss recovers 1% HP in 30 seconds, then the boss would be able to recover 8,830,000 HP in every second. Everything would differ, based on the situation as well.

Because the {Hell Rage} was an AoE type Skill, it could cover over 300 meters. The Skill would also function according to a regular pattern. However, the Skill only had a 2-second cooldown. When the HP bar of the boss is reduced to 20%, the cooldown period would become 1.5 seconds. Meanwhile, when the HP bar of the boss is reduced to 10%, the cooldown period would become 1 second! As long as there are a total of 1,766 players attacking the boss at the same time, the HP Recovery of the boss would exceed 8,830,000 HP!

That would be the point where you thread a needle.

Chapter 849: Soloing a Celestial Tier Boss!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

So, this boss appears to be the type that grows stronger as the battle continues on. He would recover more HP if more players were to attack him! Theoretically, the 300-meter radius area around the boss should be able to hold quite a substantial number of players.

Hulkinsh was rather similar to Angus. They were both the type of bosses that would become even more fearless if they were to battle a larger number of enemies. It would best to battle these bosses with a bunch of elites!

Of course, that would work for the other players.

Zhang Yang revealed a crooked grin on his face. Could this boss be designed for him and only him? His Phoenix pet had the ability to ignore all Fire Attacks along with their special effects. Furthermore, the Phoenix pet could also recover HP by absorbing Fire Damage! Even though the boss is also equipped with the ability to deal Physical Damage, the amount of Physical Damage the boss could deal with his normal attacks and his {Furious Hammer Strike} were almost the same as the amount of Fire Damage that the boss' {Hell Rage} and {Blazing Impale} could deal to the Phoenix pet. That should balance out the damage the Phoenix pet receives and the amount of HP that the Phoenix pet could recover.

In other words, the Phoenix had the absolute advantage of being undefeated in this boss battle!

It would be natural for Zhang Yang to allow the Phoenix pet to be the main Tanker of this battle. He would only be dealing damage to the boss from the sidelines. After all, he would only be receiving approximately 1,000,000 AoE Damage every 2 seconds before the HP bar of the boss goes as low as 20%. With his current Defence, he would only take 450,000 damage head-on. Meanwhile, Zhang Yang's HP would reach over a total of 33,354,000 HP if he activates his Inheritance Transformation. The boss would still need at least 25 minutes to deplete Zhang Yang's HP bar with AoE attacks alone.

Well, that would only work, if Zhang Yang did not have his {God of War Restoration} and the additional 30% Passive Damage Immunity provided by his {Rock Solid}. In simpler words, one of Zhang Yang's HP bars would definitely be able to last for 30 minutes, at least.

Meanwhile, the cooldown for his {Radiance of God of War} was 30 minutes. As long as Zhang Yang does not become the boss' main target throughout his Transformed period, he should be able to win the battle and stay alive by the end of the battle.

Now that Zhang Yang and his Phoenix pet would not die battling the boss, the outcome of the battle would only depend on one factor now. That would be whether the boss could be taken out within two hours.

The answer would be a definite 'yes'. Theoretically, he should be able to kill the boss in 110 minutes. Furthermore, if he triggers the special effect of the {Glare of the Death God}, he could further shorten the time needed to kill the boss!

Soloing a Celestial Tier boss!

Zhang Yang could not help to feel a blazing rush of excitement up his chest. Although Celestial Tier equipment had no longer seemed rare to him, having the opportunity to solo a Celestial Tier boss alone will never come every day, or even never! He was shaking with excitement!

After making some calculations and assumptions, he noticed that there were a large number of Elite Tier Hellfire Demons in the entire mountain valley. However, those monsters were staying at least a couple of hundred meters away from the boss, as if they were terrified by the existence of the boss.

"There shouldn't be any possibility that the monsters would be drawn in while I'm battling the boss, then."

After thinking by himself, he immediately patted the Phoenix pet and charged straight at the boss. 300 meters from above the sky, he leaped off the back of the Phoenix pet and activated both his Inheritance Transformation and the Phoenix Pet's Transformation Skill.

"Kill him!"

Phoenix pet divebombed the boss to trigger the battle. It began to spit streams of blazing flames towards the boss and caused a series of insanely high damage to the boss. Each damage value had reached over millions! In one brief instant, the boss was already heavily wounded!

"You bastards!" Hulkinsh let out a furious roar and swung his blazing fist straight at Phoenix pet. At the same instance, the boss's nostrils were flared. Two streams of powerful blazing flames were seen gushing out of the nostrils, reaching the ground! The flames did not stop there, they continued to spread out and radiated into the surroundings.

'-829,321!'

'1,000,000!'

At first, the Phoenix pet received a damage value. However, a healing value appeared right after the damage value popped out! The lost amount of HP was instantly recovered!

Well, that was the Phoenix pet's specialty, after all. Any Fire Attack would become useless on the Phoenix pet. Instead, the fire damage that the Phoenix pet receives would be turned into the source of the Phoenix pet's HP Recovery.

However, Zhang Yang was not equipped with the ability to absorb Fire Damage. Immediately, he received a blow from the boss's {Hell Rage} head on. However, only 450,000 damage from the 1,000,000 Basic Damage of the boss managed to penetrate Zhang Yang's insanely high Defence! That was really nothing to him.

Zhang Yang waved his hand and summoned Felice out from her slot. The little lady immediately entered her Goddess of War Scion Form before launching her fierce attacks on the boss.

Theoretically, as long as the DPS exceeds 500,000 damage, the boss would be receiving effective damage. Or else, whoever who could not do that would only be a burden to all. Felice's DPS had surpassed 900,000 damage. Although each {Hell Rage} would allow the boss to recover a certain amount of HP, the effective damage dealt to the boss was still about 400,000 damage. It was quite a decent progress for the moment.

However, Felice no longer had the ability to heal when she is in her new form. Therefore, after a brief moment of battling head-on against the boss, Felice would be forced to return back to her slot.

{Charge Up Strike}, {Sky Slicer}!

In order to maximize the damage output, Zhang Yang activated his strongest Skills. Instantly, he dealt over 250,000,000 damage and took over the aggro of the boss.

{Shadow of the Void}! By using that Skill, Zhang Yang disengaged the aggro of the boss.

Right after that, he resurfaced to continue his ferocious strikes on the boss. A few minutes later, he did the same thing and took over the aggro again. However, he did the same thing as well, using his {Shadow of the Void} again to disengage the aggro of the boss again. Well, because he needed to use the same Skill before it cooldowns, he had to use {Rearm} to reset the cooldown of his {Shadow of the Void}.

With two rounds of that, the Phoenix pet managed to generate enough aggro -- upon reaching Level 230, the Phoenix pet had automatically become Celestial Tier. Its power level had increased tremendously -- so that should allow Zhang Yang to focus on attacking the boss for at least 10 minutes. After that, he could just use his {Shadow of the Void} to vanish from the sight of the boss whenever that Skill is ready. Upon the third round of the same routine that Zhang Yang did with his {Shadow of the Void}, it became impossible for Zhang Yang to OT within the timeframe of 10 minutes. In that sense, that would also mean that Zhang Yang would never OT again, ever for the boss battle!

Although Fatty Han also had a Phoenix pet, that fatty's Defence was too weak for the moment. He could at most, last for 5 minutes under the onslaught of the boss with his {Hell Rage}. It would be impossible for the fatty to solo the boss. Only Zhang Yang, who had one Phoenix pet, a super high Defence, and also insanely powerful Attacks would be capable of soloing the boss!

Of course, that would only work for Zhang Yang, thanks to this unique boss. A miracle like this would never be replicated again!

"God damned fire chicken! I'm the Lord of Flame, the conqueror of Fire!" Hulkinsh let out a raging roar as he was launching his attacks at the Phoenix pet repeatedly. Truth to be told, if the boss was only using single-unit attacks, the Phoenix pet would not have held on for long as well. However, a monster would always remain a monster. The boss would not possibly leave his Skills there when they are ready for use. So, the boss was destined to be helpless against the Phoenix pet.

"Hahaha!" Zhang Yang laughed out loud. Such a thrilling joy does not come easy. He had already switched on his in-game footage recorder to record everything down so that he could rewatch the footage.

Well, soloing a Celestial Tier boss while oppressing the boss with absolute power was absolutely satisfying!

{Glare of the Death God}, resisted!

Zhang Yang told himself that it wouldn't matter much at all. As long as no other player comes in all of a sudden and lets the boss recover his HP, Zhang Yang should be able to kill the boss within 2 hours!

'-15,763,980!'

An extremely high value popped right on top of the boss. It was Zhang Yang's {Rising Dragon Strike}! It was an attack 10 times higher than his normal attack! Well, the good fortune did not stop there. Zhang Yang's {Frost Strike} had also dealt over 12,551,792 damage! It was the weapon's 8-time damage special effect!

Well, that's what we call'when one door shuts, another opens'. Unfortunately, even though the {Rising Dragon Strike} could deal a damage 10 times higher, the effect would never be as great as the special effect of the {Glare of the Death God}. Each special effect of that Ultimate Skill could have dealt over 265,000,000 damage! The only Skill that could match the special effect of the {Glare of the Death God} would be the {Sky Slicer} after Zhang Yang activates his {Charge Up Strike}.

{Sky Slicer} could deal 12 hits in a row once in every hour. The total damage that the Skill could do was about the same as the special effect of the {Glare of the Death God}. Of course, the {Sky Slicer} would need to be paired with {Charge Up Strike} before it could reach that potential. However, using {Charge Up Strike} to buff {Sky Slicer} was a 100% feasible method of dealing super high damage to the boss. Unlike the {Glare of the Death God}, Zhang Yang could just use it without having to worry about failing.

34 minutes later, Zhang Yang had used his first {Radiance of God of War}. Instantly, he recovered his HP back to full.

50 minutes, 90 minutes!

The HP bar of the boss had dropped to 20%. It was time to enter the 'Killing Cleave' Stage.

Instantly, the cooldown for the boss's {Hell Rage} had been shortened to 1.5 seconds. That would also mean that Zhang Yang would receive additional 50% damage from the boss.

{Indiscriminate}, {Killing Cleave}!

'-36,194,934!'

The 100% Critical {Killing Cleave,} stacked with the {Lucky Strike} had brought misfortune to the boss. It dealt over approximately 40,000,000 damage to Hulkinsh in one instance! The boss could only roar in pain.

Because Hulkinsh was considered as a special boss, Zhang Yang's {Block} could do nothing in this boss battle. So Zhang Yang had used all three Skill Enhancement effects of his [Book of Revelation] to enhance his {Radiance of God of War}, {Shield Wall} and {Rock Solid}. By doing so, he managed to increase his survival throughout the boss battle. Now that he could use his {Radiance of God of War} once every 25 minutes, Zhang Yang's ability to survive longer in battle had increased to another whole new level.

10%!

Hulkinsh had entered his most ferocious state. The cooldown for his {Hell Rage} had been shortened to merely 1 second, now! Not only could he deal much higher damage to Zhang Yang, the boss could also recover HP at twice the amount that he used to be able to recover -- although the amount of HP recovery had only been increased from 230,000 HP per second to 450,000 HP per second.

Activating {Tribulation}!

{Hell Rage} could only deal 450,000 damage to Zhang Yang. However, Zhang Yang could deflect a total of 1,000,000 damage back to the boss. The boss had no choice but to suffer.

Because {Tribulation} could only last for 10 minutes, Zhang Yang chose to activate it much later into the battle in order to deflect a higher amount of damage back at the boss! Well, the boss was using his {Hell Rage} once every second, so Zhang Yang's {Tribulation} would be deflecting 1,000,000 damage back to the boss in every second! That amount of DPS was as much as the DPS of his Phoenix pet!

9%, 8%, 7%!

Hulkinsh's HP was dropping lower and lower by the second. It seemed that he would become the first Celestial Tier boss in 'God's Miracle' to be killed by one player in another 10 minutes.

What a pathetic fate!

"God damned fire chicken!" Hulkinsh was infuriated to the point that he jumped around, venting out his rage with all his Fire Attacks. However, he could do nothing to the Phoenix pet. Instead, he increased his rate of using {Hell Rage}, which resulted in helping the Phoenix pet to restore even more HP!

The {Blazing Mine} was even more pathetic. It couldn't even deal 1 damage to the Phoenix pet, just because it could only deal Fire Damage! Meanwhile, Zhang Yang was flying with the flight ability he was bestowed with after activating his God of War Transformation. So he would never ever trigger the mines.

The boss had already ran out of tricks up his sleeves. He could only witness the fall of his HP bar. He was drawing closer and closer to his own death in every passing second.

3%, 2%, 1%!

When the battle entered its 112th minute, Zhang Yang finally sliced away the last drop of the boss's HP. Well, Hulkinsh has become the most pathetic Celestial Tier boss in entire history of the game -- he had been slain by one single player!

The gigantic body of the boss collapsed onto the ground heavily and he also dropped tons of loot across the ground. Well, the number of loots was enough to put a smile on Zhang Yang's face for hours.

This time, Zhang Yang has really hit the jackpot!

Upon checking out on the loots, he noticed that there were a total of 9 pieces of Celestial Tier equipment. Furthermore, this boss has dropped the same equipment as Maya -- they were all Necklaces. Coincidentally, Zhang Yang did not get a Necklace back when they slayed Maya. This should make it up for him.

Chapter 850: Acquisition Succeeded!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Other than the 9 Celestial Tier Armor Set pieces, Hulkinsh had also dropped another 5 pieces of normal Celestial Tier equipment. Among those pieces of equipment, one of them was a two-handed battle axe!

Required Level: 260

Special: Reduces Required Level by 30 levels.

Note: This axe once belonged to the great Hell Lord. It became a collection of Hulkinsh after the Hell Lord fell.

A Celestial Tier weapon!

Zhang Yang was overjoyed with his discovery! After equipping the weapon, his basic damage has reached up to 789,686 – 873,286 damage! That amount of Attack was extremely powerful! Well, even if a Holy Tier player with a Class B Inheritance activates his or her Inheritance Transformation, the player would not reach that Attack power either. It seemed that Zhang Yang's Attack power has become ridiculously powerful!

Other than that equipment, Hulkinsh had also dropped quite a number of Skill Books, Greater Demonic Pearls, and other trivial items. Unfortunately, none of them was suitable for Zhang Yang. However, there was a crimson red rock that was snatched by Felice. She has actually entered her 'Golden Egg' form. It seemed that the fourth seal is about to be unsealed!

Because the process would require a long time, Zhang Yang brought the few Level 9 Gemstones that were dropped by the boss and went straight to the Holy City. Then, he immediately inserted two gemstones into the two sockets of the battle axe.

He gathered his gang around and distributed the loots he picked up from killing Hulkinsh. When they received the loots, they were shocked to the point that they dropped their jaws as well.

"Little Yang, did you just take out a Celesxtial Tier boss all by yourself?" Fatty Han took in a cold breath.

"Haha!" Zhang Yang laughed without saying anything about it.

"What the hell! Boss, you're too crazy! That Celestial Tier boss was killed by you?!" Endless Starlight let out a strange scream, "That's amazing! You can even solo a Celestial Tier boss now! Boss, do you have anything else to do in this game?!"

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment there. Well, he was about to step up to the pinnacle of 'God's Miracle,' now. If the officials are not going to release a new patch or increase the level cap up to Level 400, or even introduce new Tiers such as Super Celestial Tier, God Tier or Supreme Tier, Zhang Yang would have nothing left to do in the game!

When he managed to get the full set of 'God Killer Armor Set' which included a Celestial Tier weapon, Celestial Tier shield and Celestial Tier Accessories, so what should he do for the rest of his days in the game? The dungeons offered no challenge for him. The bosses offered no challenge for him. Even the players were no match to him! Zhang Yang would be lonely at the top of a snowy mountain!

"When I get a full set of Celestial Tier equipment, it should be about time I leave this game…" Zhang Yang thought to himself.

Although 'God's Miracle' was realistic, it was still, just a virtual reality where players use to pass time and relax. Well, there was no reason for anyone to treat this as their entire career. Meanwhile, Zhang Yang had also yielded enough money from the game. Upon reaching the peak, money has become insignificant to him. The difference between having 100,000,000 and 10,00,000,000,000 was just figurative now. He wouldn't be able to use all of the money if he makes too much of it!

However, Zhang Yang would like to slay all of the Celestial Tier bosses in the entire server at least once, before he is willing to leave the game.

"Haha! These Celestial Tier equipment have come at the right timing! We're about to participate in the World League Championship Finale soon. By then, we should be able to oppress all of our opponents!" Lost Dream spoke in excitement.

They were just 10 days from the 4th World League Championship that was going to be held in Shang Hai. The Silky Soft Battle Team had won a secured seat in the finales. Meanwhile, the second battle team who managed to secure the other secured seat into participating the finale would be the Sky and Ocean Electronics Battle Team from Imperial Sky. Well, only two battle teams were going to participate in the championships.

Well, Eternal Flame has gone downhill into the abyss because of Zhong Xiu Hua's 'Sexual Transmitted Disease' event. They only managed to 'hang on' to the Top 5 in the Class S Professional League Championship. Recently, Hua Yi Trust Fund had been trying to fend off Zhang Yang from taking over their company. Without any juice left to even fund Eternal Flame in their daily activities, the guild seemed to be dying soon. Every member of the guild was beginning to feel worried for themselves.

Meanwhile, Crimson Rage was not performing up to their former standards, because quite a number of their core players got married all of a sudden. They even planned to have children after their weddings. Therefore, the Sky and Ocean Electronics Battle Team managed to acquire the second place thrice. Before the final season of the Professional League Championship could begin, it was already decided that the Sky and Ocean Electronics Battle Team was the winner to participate in the World League Championships as one of the two battle teams.

"Little Yang, are you sure you want to do it, then?" Fatty Han pulled Zhang Yang to a corner and asked with concern.

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Well, Zhong Xiu Hua is too great a threat now. I will not rest until I 'get rid' of him!"

"But what if he tries something funny or maybe do something dangerous?"

"Well. I'm counting on that! I'm just concerned if he runs away!"

...

Zhang Yang brought a few lawyers and Business Excellence along over to Yan City. They arrived to join the Hua Yi Trust Fund's Board Meeting.

"We're all here because we need to decide who should be the new Chairman of the board." Zhang Yang revealed a vague smile on his face while sitting on the couch, in the middle of the office.

That lazily rough way Zhang Yang sat on the couch had caused many in the conference room to look at him with contemptuous looks on their faces.

"Mr.Zhang, you're just the second largest shareholder of this organization. You've no authority to make such a significant decision for our organization!" a middle-aged woman in her fifties said. She was wearing a custom made Armani branded uniform. She seemed to have kept her body and her health well cared. She looked rich enough and she definitely looked intimidating.

Well, she is the mother of Zhong Xiu Hua, Li Wan Rong. She is also the largest shareholder in the entire organization.

Zhang Yang smiled vaguely and snapped his fingers. The lawyer standing behind him immediately walked up and placed a document on the table before Zhang Yang. Then Zhang Yang said, "This is Mr. Ma, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Feng's signature for letting go of their shares to me. This means that not only am I the organization's biggest shareholder now, I also have more than 50% of the shares of the entire organization. So, I can do whatever f*ck I want!"

Li Wan Rong immediate lost the colors in her face. She instantly snatched the documents over and took a closer look at the pages. Her face instantly turned, well, twisted. She slammed the table hard and spoke in rage, "Ma Yuan Shen! Zhou Li Tao! Feng Dong Ming! You guys are great! Very great!"

She pointed her fingers at three men in the conference room. They were the main three biggest shareholders in the Hua Yi Trust Fund. Well, the total shares that these three held and the shares that Zhang Yang was currently holding was indeed more than 50% of the shares for the entire organization. Zhang Yang had acquired absolute control over the shares of the company.

Even though the three were a little ashamed of what they did, they were not afraid at all. Zhang Yang had paid them more than enough for them to live like kings for several lifetimes over. Well, when they are well fed and their wallets are fat, they no longer have to worry about Li Wan Rong retaliating.

"From now on, Ms.Li is no longer the Chairman of the Board. Every decision on investments and any visions related to Ms.Li will be re-evaluated. Alright, the meeting is over, dismissed!"

Zhang Yang was the first to walk out of the conference room, leaving Li Wan Rong standing stiffly like a statue. Well, eventually she did start screaming and shouting. She could not understand it at all. She was actually winning the battle of 'the hostile Anti-takeover' on her company. So how did Zhang Yang managed to cut the ground from beneath her feet! He actually bought the company from the inside!

How did Zhang Yang get so much funds, then?

Ring! The phone rang. Zhang Yang picked it up and heard a lady's voice with weird accent, "Darling, everything going fine?"

"Thank you for lending me so much money! I'll pay you back as soon as I can!"

"Darling, you don't have to pay me back at all. That's my dowry as your bride!"

Zhang Yang frowned. Well, he did not have enough funds to overtake the shares of the entire Hua Yi Trust Fund. However, after getting sufficient funds from Dusk Phoenix, the princess of Luxembourg, the future Duchess to support him, he managed to pull it off!

After flirting with Dusk Phoenix for a moment, the woman had finally hung up unwillingly. Zhang Yang sighed heavily after that. Well, he has to make sure that he returns the money as soon as possible. Zhang Yang would not want this seductive woman to cling onto him anymore. Or else, his backyard would get burned down!

Upon leaving with the necessary paperwork related to Hua Yi Trust Funds, Zhang Yang cut off the partnership of the company with the Eternal Flame for a start. He wanted to completely cut off Zhong Xiu Hua's source of income, after all. Other than that, he also began to liquidate the stocks and shares in order to kick Li Wan Rong out of the organization completely! His main intention was to force Zhong Xiu Hua's hands to the point that he has to act, or he'll lose everything!

Zhang Yang did not stay in the city for long. After 3 days of meddling around, he went back to Zhou Shu immediately. It was only 6 days before the World League Championship Finale begins. It was about time for Zhang Yang and the ladies to pack their things and get ready to travel.

This time, they went to Shang Hai. Zhang Yang had also brought Luo Yu Rou and his precious baby girl along. Well, he would not be able to feel safe if he just leaves her and the baby girl back in Zhou Shu. Coincidentally, Luo Yu Rou's second movie was wrapped up and had premiered in cinemas. It was a great time for her to come out and take a breath of fresh air.

Time waits for no man. It was time for the World League Championship Finale to begin! Top Tier parties from all Regions came over to Shang Hai to witness the matches. Because of that, quite a huge number of fans were attracted over to make the scene merrier.

18th January, the premier league of the championship began. Among the 16, only 8 of them would make it to the next round. The first match was Silky Soft Battle Team versus Shadow Ghost Battle Team from the Japan-Korea Region. By the end of the match, the Silky Soft Battle Team won both rounds with the same scores of 5:0. Because of that, the passion of the audience was ignited. Everyone started screaming and cheering. The championship had reached a climax on its first day.

Up to this point of the game, the difference between the controls and awareness between top Tier players were getting smaller and smaller. So now, the equipment on the players and the Skills that they had would determine the outcome of a PvP battle.

The Normal Tier players were able to witness how influential equipment could be and how significant a person's Defence could be. A super Skill could even change the tide of the entire battle!

For instance, the {Sky Slicer} had destructively high damage. If the Skill is not interrupted, it would bring a tremendous amount of pain and damage to a player. Well, players were not allowed to use their Inheritance Transformations. If they ever take 10 solid hits from {Sky Slicer}, even if the players had a full set of Holy Tier equipment, they would still be as good as dead. However, it might be possible that a top Tier Tanker with a long *ss HP bar like Zhang Yang and an insanely high Defence might survive the 10 hits from the {Sky Slicer}, head-on. Any other player of any other Classes would be as good as dead!

...

Zhong Xiu Hua was sitting high up with his eyes red. He looked wretched and intimidating.

His mood was extremely bad right now!

Previously, his mother had gone through quite some trouble just to gather some money for him to get through the difficult times. However, once his mother found out that Zhang Yang was the one behind the 'takeover' on the Hua Yi Trust Fund, she immediately pulled all her strings and had the banks push Zhang Yang to return the loans. As long as Zhang Yang is willing to return the loans, her organization would have made hundreds of million dollars from the incident.

Zhong Xiu Hua intended to wait and see Zhang Yang's pathetic face when he loses. However, he heard the news about Zhang Yang secretly buying over some of the major shareholders with larger shares. By doing so, Zhang Yang managed to take control over the entire stock market of the Hua Yi Trust Fund. Meanwhile, Zhong Xiu Hua's mother borrowed quite a substantial amount of loans in order to fight Zhang Yang. After she was kicked out of the board by Zhang Yang, her net worth dropped tremendously. The money she had left was mostly used to pay the loans she borrowed earlier on. Therefore, she almost had nothing left by the end of the incident.

In other words, he's now out of 'rations' for real!

Chapter 851: The Disbanding of Eternal Flame

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Zhong Xiu Hua has a very powerful father, he has never been fond of asking favors from other people, especially his father.

From his point of view, maintaining good connections would mean wealth and fame, a total control over the others. Meanwhile, he also witnessed quite a number of events that convinced him that his thoughts were true. One must at least act like an upright officer. It would be impossible for Zhong Xiu Hua to behave otherwise!

Since he joined 'God's Miracle', pursuing Sun Xin Yu was merely one of his smaller aims. Well, he wanted to get Sun Xin Yu in order to form an 'alliance' with the Sun Family. The Zhong Family would still have a limited capability. His father was the only one who managed to slip himself onto the political stages. He would need to search for a new political platform for him to shine in his own way, because he did not intend to follow his father's footsteps.

There, he saw the opportunity to make big bucks in 'God's Miracle'.

The game was basically a gigantic marketplace with more than 2,000,000,000 people in it. The scale of that marketplace had exceeded any other marketplace in the entire world! Judging by the movie industry, the movie companies have managed to earn a lot more money and spend lower cost on movies ever since they decided to shoot their movies in 'God's Miracle'.

Of course, he also had something to regret, whenever he thought about picking that sexy superstar Luo Yu Rou, to frame Zhang Yang. Well, instead of defaming Zhang Yang, she actually became Zhang Yang's money tree! The first movie she made had provided Zhang Yang with an additional 1,000,000,000 dollars as his pocket money! Meanwhile, her second movie had premiered as well! The movie received quite good responses too! Even if this movie cannot earn them as much as they could from the first movie, the amount of money they could earn this round would still be decent.

Meanwhile, Luo Yu Rou was one sexy, seductive minx. Zhong Xiu Hua could not help but regret every single decision he had made now. If only he knew all these, he would have kept Luo Yu Rou to himself. Not only would he get money from her, he could also toy with her whenever he needs to release! The benefits of having her would definitely weigh the same as having Sun Xin Yu!

No, it would provide him an even better future!

Marrying Sun Xin Yu would only be the means of forming an alliance with the Sun Family, expanding his influence by a little. On the other hand, Luo Yu Rou could earn about 1,000,000,000 dollars from making one movie. So if she just makes two movies in a year, she could earn over 40,000,000,000 dollars in twenty years! Would marrying Sun Xin Yu and forming an alliance with the Sun Family be worth 40,000,000,000 dollars?

The answer was obviously no!

Therefore, Zhong Xiu Hua's mood became worse by the second… the worst part about it was that there was a mole among his own people. That mole had given up the information saying that Hua Yi Trust Fund has been bought to the public. Everyone had found out about the fact that this master Zhong no longer had the money to support everyone's salaries!

That news was a fatal blow to Eternal Flame. Although his mother has still managed to squeeze some money out for him to get through the storm, Zhong Xiu Hua still owned a month's salary to all of his guild members. Under the harsh pressure of the guild, he finally stood up to explain the situation. Many of his members there and then, decided to leave the guild and never see his face again!

Up till this point, the number of members remaining in the guild had dropped from 68,967 to only 29,873. Meanwhile, it was obvious that the imminent danger was far from over. Everyone stood to believe that if Zhong Xiu Hua could not find a way to continue paying the salaries of his guild members, only more would quit the guild!

Everything was happening now, all because of the god damn Zhang Yang!

Zhong Xiu Hua slammed the table with a heavy blow. His face was so twisted that juice might just come out of it!

Scholar Musou and the others remained silent. Although the man had lost all his money, his family was still influential as f*ck. Well, if he ever wanted to get more money, Zhong Xiu Hua could just abandon Eternal Flame and start all over again, any time he wanted to.

Therefore, they did not dare to provoke master Zhong just yet. Well, unless they have already decided to leave the guild.

"So who's the mole that gave up the information?" Zhong Xiu Hua glanced at his fellow 'underlings' with his blazing eyes. His eyes looked as if they were about to explode. After all, he only told the information to all of them, his most trusted 'underlings'.

Scholar Musou frowned and said, "Master Zhong, everyone here is very loyal to you. There's no way any of us would have betrayed you! I think that Zhang Yang must have planted a mole in our guild!"

"Well, he better stay hidden, then!" Zhong Xiu Hua let out a vengeful tone. Actually, it would be easy for Zhong Xiu Hua to get money. He could just ask for official contracts from the government by pulling some strings. By then, he could easily earn back the money!

As long as he could get through this hardship, Eternal Flame would not die. Of course, he would have to do everything behind the back of his father. Otherwise, his father would have him skinned alive over and over again.

"Master Zhong, I know who did it!" Longrich suddenly raised his hand and said.

"Oh!" Zhong Xiu Hua widened his eyes and spoke with a murderous tone, "Who the f*ck is it?!"

"That should be -- me!" Longrich pointed his finger right back at his own nose.

"Humph! I've no time for jokes!" Zhong Xiu Hua was infuriated. If Longrich was not one of the big shots in the Eternal Flame, he would have him hung and make Longrich disappeared from the world. Well, Zhong Xiu Hua was in need of anyone's support during a time like this. He had no choice but to keep his temper in line for now.

"Master Zhong, I'm not joking around!" Longrich grinned with pride. The expression on his face was now scornful, "You want to challenge Mr. Zhang with that level of IQ? Well, that's like an old man pushing a car upslope with its parking brake on! Hahaha! You really thought that you could do anything you want just because your father's influential, huh?"

"YOU --" Zhong Xiu Hua confirmed that Longrich was not joking around. He was instantly filled with rage and pointed his finger at Longrich, "What made you do it, then?!"

"Traitor?" Longrich laughed out loud and shook his head, "Mr. Zhong, you've overestimated yourself. This is merely a game. You can just switch sides whenever fits you!"

"Humph! How much did Zhang Yang pay you!?"

"400,000,000!" Longrich showed 4 fingers at Zhong Xiu Hua's face. Scholar Musou, Death Arbiter and the others were shocked to hear that amount. If Zhang Yang had provided them that much money as well, they wouldn't mind stabbing Zhong Xiu Hua in the back, or even up, down, and front!

Well, Zhong Xiu Hua jumped in anger that he did not even know how to express. Then, he suddenly stopped, "Wait a minute… back in Brazil, was it you who led us to that backalley?!"

Longrich laughed again and said, "Master Zhong, how did you like getting your *ss poked?"

"You f*cking bastard!"

This time, it was not just Zhong Xiu Hua popping his veins all over his head. Even the faces of Scholar Musou and the others turned green! Well, they were also the victims in that incident. No matter how many women they paid ever since then to release their steam, they just could not shake the horrific memory of having poked in their own *sses! They would constantly wake from their sleep because as it haunted them in their nightmares!

Knowing that the culprit was just standing before them, everyone was so infuriated that their eyes turned red. They charged at Longrich one after another, swinging their fists and kicks at Longrich.

Well, the Holy City forbade any form of PvP matches, though. Their fists and licks landed on nothing by air. Meanwhile, Longrich was just sitting calmly and quietly, observing the monkeys performing their 'tricks'.

"Good! Very good!" Zhong Xiu Hua was raging and laughing at the same time, "Longrich! You are finished! We all know where you live! You will regret what you did today! You'll regret the decision you made for the rest of the days!"

"Haha! Your IQ is really so low that anyone would worry for you, Mr.Zhong!" Longrich showed no signs of fear at all, "Do you really think I'll still be in China when I decided to reveal my identity? Of course, I'm no longer in China by now! Ha! You can do anything you like in China, but you did not know that you can't do whatever you want in Brazil, right? Or maybe, you want another fresh poke in your *ss?"

"Argh --" Zhong Xiu Hua let out a strange roar. Well, it was utterly true that he could do whatever he wants in his own country, because he could cover them up easily. However, he was just like any other foreigner when he steps foot in any other country outside China.

Now that Longrich has hidden himself in Brazil, Zhong Xiu Hua would never have the chance to take his revenge on Longrich ever again.

"Oh, right! Mr. Zhang has a message to deliver to you. He has begun investigating cases regarding people that you made 'disappear'. Maybe, he still has a surprise for you!" Longrich started playing a recorded message from Zhang Yang himself. Things were just getting more and more out of hands for Zhong Xiu Hua. He was so angry to the point that he could no longer feel anything.

Pfff! Pfff!

Zhong Xiu Hua began to breathe heavily as if he was panting like a hairdryer. Although the was very confident that he left nothing left that can be traced back to him, he would never rest peacefully, knowing that someone was trying something behind his back. Well, he could feel a rush of raging heat up his chest that almost got him dead. It was the rage towards Zhang Yang!

At that instance, the only thought left in his mind was how to kill Longrich, and kill Zhang Yang! Whatever the cost!

"Meanwhile, I've also pulled quite a number of people along. I'm going to start a new guild now! Mr. Zhang said it himself, you're not fit to play games. You better quit and go home to your mummy as soon as you can! Stop embarrassing your F*CKING self already!" Longrich suddenly spoke vulgarly. Then he stood up and walked out of the house.

"You ungrateful son of the b*tch! Traitor! You're not going to get away with this! You and Zhang Yang! I'll shred you two into tiny pieces! Just wait and see! F*ck!" Zhong Xiu Hua screamed from the bottom of his stomach.

Scholar Musou and the others looked at each other. Then, they decided to leave the guild as well without saying a word -- judging from what they just witnessed, Zhong Xiu Hua's identity as a 'Prince' no longer had any effect in the game. He was being tortured by Zhang Yang left, right, upside down. Meanwhile, if they remain by the side of Zhong Xiu Hua to fight Zhang Yang... well, Brazil was not the only place with psychotic *ss pokers in the entire world.

'Ding! Guild Announcement: Longrich has left the guild!'

'Ding! Guild Announcement: Scholar Musou has left the guild!'

'Ding! Guild Announcement: Death Arbiter has left the guild!'

...

As the core players of Eternal Flame left the guild one after another, Eternal Flame descended into chaos. Those who were already angry because they did not get their salaries immediately followed and quit the guild as well. This so-called top Tier guild was instantly torn into pieces. There was only approximately 1,000 members remaining in the guild at the moment. They were just weak players that did not even reach Level 200 yet! In a flash, the guild became as weak as a newly founded guild.

In a nutshell, Eternal Flame was totally gone.

Looking upon the countless streams of Guild Announcements about his members' resignations, Zhong Xiu Hua totally fell into the dark abyss of despair. A few hours later, his eyes turned red, and he looked at the table as if his eyes could burn the table to crisp. With murderous intent overwhelming his head, he said, "Zhang Yang, I will kill you! I will!"

...

"Mr. Zhang, I've done everything you've asked!" Longrich switched on his voice communicator in the game and contacted Zhang Yang. He greeted Zhang Yang with a 'congratulations'.

Zhang Yang was currently in Shang Hai. He revealed a smile on his face and said, "Thank you very much for your service! It's been a pleasure!"

"The pleasure is mine, Mr. Zhang!" Longrich quickly cut back in and said. "But Mr. Zhang, wouldn't that rich brat would try to kill you after all we've done? That man has been staying up high in his influential position. I bet he can't even take a punch! He might get mad and do something horrific!"

"Hmm.. well, you don't have to concern yourself with that, I guess. Just enjoy your beaches and bikini girls!"

Zhang Yang switch off the voice communicator and swung his axe at a gigantic elephant monster right before him, "Well, if you don't go insane, how can I play you into my hands then? Zhong Xiu Hua, my dear Zhong Xiu Hua… Do you even understand what does 'Angered man would splat his blood 5 feet across the ground' means? So let's observe and see if you might try something that would destroy yourself, then."

"After settling Zhong Xiu Hua, I guess it's time for me to rest as well. It might be a good time to solve the problems between ice queen, witchy snow, and the other ladies. I guess it's unwise to drag the problem any further."

Chapter 852: Reckless Attempt

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

After proceeding into the quarterfinals, the Silky Soft Battle Team would only have one day of rest before the semifinals. Well. Their opponents were just some players they knew long ago. The Philosopher Stone Battle Team.

Although their opponents were not weak at all, Zhang Yang and his gang had acquired enough Celestial Tier equipment to get the first special effect of the Armor Set. They were able to take the lead in the battle. Because of that, they managed to win the matches with ease. By scoring 5:1, they managed to proceed into the semifinals.

At night, back in Zhang Yang's room, Sun Xin Yu revealed a sense of worry on her face. She was serious, "Zhong Xiu Hua has just arrived at Shang Hai. So have you made up your mind? Are you sure?"

"Yes. Even though the hatred we have for each other is a little messed up, now it's either me or him. One of us must go down," Zhang Yang nodded and revealed a smile on his face all of a sudden, "Rest assured, everything is according to plan! I'm very confident, knowing that you have my back!"

"You must be careful!" Sun Xin Yu was still very worried. She still believed that Zhang Yang's idea was too insane, to begin with.

During that night, Zhang Yang left the hotel to have a drink at the bar. He even flirted with two hot chicks all the while he was in the bar.

After a while, Zhang Yang went to the washroom. Immediately, two huge men came into the washroom as well. Then the two of them stood at the sides of Zhang Yang. One of them smacked the back of the head of Zhang Yang with a karate chop while the other one carried Zhang Yang after he collapsed.

"The goods have been secured. We're on our way."

One of the two men spoke into the device on his wrist. The device seemed to be some sort of mini communication device.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yang was rudely woken up by a pail of cold water. He immediately woke up. At the same time, he noticed that he was held in the middle of some sort of broken down, abandoned warehouse. Well, of course, his hands and legs were tied to a chair. The light in the surroundings was dimmed. There was a handsome looking man sitting right in front of him. However, that handsome looking man seemed dishevelled and unstable.

It was Zhong Xiu Hua!

Zhang Yang spat out the water caught in his mouth and looked at Zhong Xiu Hua in disdain, "Master Zhong, so this is your definition of 'what you got'?" Other than Zhong Xiu Hua, there were also two other men in black suits standing behind Zhong Xiu Hua. Well, they still wore sunglasses, even though they were in a dark place like this. There was no telling if they were just acting cool or if it was their way of fashion.

"How dare you to speak even after knowing you're in a tough spot!" Zhong Xiu Hua snorted, "Didn't you already know that many men have 'disappeared' by my hands? I'll let you taste the pleasure of 'disappearing'!"

He stood up from his chair and walked around Zhang Yang twice. Suddenly, he gave Zhang Yang a slap in his face, "Who are you to fight me, huh? Today, I shall let you know the consequence of going against me, the authority! Money will not be able to buy you out of this!"

"Well, this is an abandoned factory for smithing metal. However, even though the factory is abandoned, their facilities still work like a charm! I'll put you into the stove and cook you bit by bit until you burn into crisp! Then, you'll disappear from this world! Hahaha!"

Zhong Xiu Hua swung both of his hands to loosen his hands, "It's a simple as that! No one will know where you died. It will be just like you've never existed! You're going to feel endless pain before you die. Believe me when I say so. You're going to wish you die as soon as you can!"

"So are you satisfied with the tomb I picked for you?" Zhong Xiu Hua was looking at Zhang Yang as if he had won. Not only did he want to destroy Zhang Yang's body, he also wanted Zhang Yang to suffer mentally before he dies. Only then could Zhong Xiu Hua relieve himself of his rage towards Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang could not help but laugh, "So you finally found a way to conquer your fear of the Sun Family, huh?"

"How did you --" Zhong Xiu Hua immediately revealed a twisted face. It was terrifying to look at his face.

Ever since, he had been jabbed in the *ss back in Brazil, he had a psychological phobia where he would remember the pain of being poked again and again. He could not even make his 'brother' stand up whenever he wanted to f*ck a girl. Well, that was psychological. So, no matter how much viagra he chugs down, he could not solve the problem at all. Well, how many women had suffered by only having his hands on them, then?

"Humph! You'll face justice until you cry and beg for mercy!" Zhong Xiu Hua told himself that there was no reason for him to be angry at Zhang Yang, a man that was about to be condemned to a torturous death by him. Zhang Yang would become a pile of ashes and the wind would blow the ashes away, leaving nothing behind. Meanwhile, he would be able to live happily ever after.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Bin, put him into the coffin now!"

"Yes, Master Zhong!"

The two big guys immediately walked up to Zhang Yang and untied him. Then he picked him up from the chair.

"People inside the warehouse, listen up! You've been surrounded! Release the hostage immediately! Do not resist!" Just when everything was going smoothly for Zhong Xiu Hua, suddenly, they heard sirens that were loud and clear.

"WHAT?!" Zhong Xiu Hua immediately panicked, "You bastard! Did you just set me up?!"

Zhang Yang laughed out loud and shook his head, "With your IQ, I could easily beat you, if it weren't for your dad!"

Zhong Xiu Hua had thought himself to be a very capable strategist all the while. So when Zhang Yang bested him like his, his brain was overwhelmed by rage and humiliation. Without any delay, he pulled out his gun from his waist and pointed it at Zhang Yang. His face was gloomy, "You say it one more time! I dare you to say it one more time!"

Zhang Yang shut up without any hesitation. Well, he had forced Zhong Xiu Hua far enough. If he tries to push Zhong Xiu Hua little more, he might be the first to die. Well, he did not plan to die, obviously.

Right outside of the factory house, the police sirens were loud. Countless flashings of the police sirens were seen through the windows in all four directions of the house. It was obvious that the entire building was surrounded by the police!

Zhong Xiu Hua had finally understood that everything that Zhang Yang did was to force him into committing such a stupid crime!

Now that he was caught red-handed, even if he has the president to back him up, he would never be able to get out of this anymore! Holding a hostage... if his previous crimes were revealed to daylight, he would be shot more than just a hundred times in his head!

Well, even if his past crimes stay hidden, holding a hostage and possessing a firearm without a legal license would be crimes that would put him in jail for 8 to 10 years! Getting into jail was not something Zhong Xiu Hua could accept. If he is really going to jail, that would mean that his entire life would be over.

At that instant, he became more fearless than he ever could. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. It seemed that he had to bring someone down with him, no matter what.

"Master Zhong!" The two huge guys saw that Zhong Xiu Hua had lost himself to his rage and impulse to kill someone. They quickly tried to persuade him to calm himself. From their point of view, as long as Zhong Xiu Hua does not die, the Zhong family would have a way to get him out of this mess.

"Put down the gun!" A police spoke through a speaker sternly, "Put down your weapon immediately, raise both of your hands where we can see them!"

Zhong Xiu Hua was breathing faster and faster by the second. He could no longer hear anyone talking. He only saw the face of Zhang Yang right before him. All he could think of was the suffering and the torture that he was about to get after he gets into jail. According to rumors, some inmates have collected so much junk, and they would also have men as well for their…

Well, because he had experienced that before, he would rather die now than experience being poked in his *ss again!

Madness!

Zhong Xiu Hua's eyes were filled with madness. He was no longer the calm and clever young man he used to be. He had 'transformed' into a sick person with painful memories. He held his gun so tightly that his hands were shaking now. His face was absolutely pale.

"Put down the weapon!"

"Put down your gun!"

The police had warned Zhong Xiu Hua a couple of times. However, Zhong Xiu Hua could not hear them at all. He was completely in the state of panic.

Even Zhang Yang started feeling nervous. This man has totally lost his mind! Well, no one could ever imagine what a madman would do if provoked! Although Zhang Yang had planned well to lure Zhong Xiu Hua here, he had never planned to give his life while doing that. No one had expected Zhong Xiu Hua to breakdown during all this!

Seeing the murderous eyes of Zhong Xiu Hua, Zhang Yang knew that he would shoot!

His hands were tied so tightly that he could not even move. So he moved his body back a little and charged forward with all the strength left in him! Bam! His huge movement had caused the chair to fall. Zhang Yang fell to the ground with his face. However, his back was still tied to the chair. Now, he looked like a turtle on the ground.

Zhong Xiu Hua was already on the verge of losing himself completely. Zhang Yang's move had ignited the dynamite!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Zhong Xiu Hua could no longer resist. He gave in to his insanity and started pulling the trigger on his gun. He fired three shots at Zhang Yang!

Bam!

Another shot was heard coming from afar. The next thing that happened was Zhong Xiu Hua's brain splattering across the ground like cotton candy! Then, his body collapsed to the ground. However, his eyes were still wide open, staring at Zhang Yang. It seemed that he was still trying to confirm whether Zhang Yang was dead or not, even after he was shot in the head!

However, he could no longer confirm Zhang Yang's death anymore. His pupils had dilated. His consciousness slipped away, slow and easy. Then, he died.

"Master --" the two huge guys were extremely shocked. They quickly charged towards the dead body of Zhong Xiu Hua. However, the Police thought it was them trying to fight back. They thought the two huge guys were trying to take Zhang Yang as a hostage. So the police let out two more shots from their handguns and the two bullets went straight into the skulls of the two huge men. The aftermath of having three brains blown out of their skulls was disastrous. The grey matter and blood was everywhere.

"Zhang Yang --" Sun Xin Yu ran towards the scene with a panicked voice. She quickly pulled the chair up and noticed that Zhang Yang's eyes were closed. His face was pale, as if there was no life sign anymore. Instantly, Sun Xin Yu sat on the ground helplessly. She lost her strength to even stand. She stopped breathing for a moment.

A few more policemen followed and made a quick check on Zhang Yang's body. Then they told Sun Xin Yu, "No worries, he just had a concussion. He just passed out."

Sun Xin Yu felt so relieved that she could breathe again.

After untying Zhang Yang's hands, it was about time for him to wake up, "Oh, I'm not dead yet!"

Bam!

Sun Xin Yu swung a solid punch at Zhang Yang's face. However, before he could talk again, Sun Xin Yu had pulled him into her arms. Then she said in rage, "If you ever dare to pull a stunt like that, I'll punch you to death with my bare fists!"

Her trembling body had revealed her fear for almost losing Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang reached out and hugged Sun Xin Yu, "There won't be a next time, I promise."

Well, he was also panicking when things were escalating earlier. Place a hand on his shirt, and you'll know that is it soaking wet!

Who would not feel anything after having a gun pointed at his or her head? If that person feels nothing, he or she must not be human anymore!

...

Although he almost lost his own life back there, Zhang Yang only wanted to have a good sleep back at his own hotel room. Well, he wouldn't mind having Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue accompanying him in bed, doing some 'excersices' so that he could forget about the dark hole of the gun's muzzle pointing at him. However, Zhang Yang was brought back to the police station for his statement to be taken down. Well, three people had died in that incident, after all.

Fortunate for him, he only mentioned the in-game name of Zhong Xiu Hua in the 'God's Miracle'. He managed to keep the police from knowing about the grudges the two of them held against each other. Well, that was the main reason why Zhang Yang got abducted in the first place, while he was participating in the championships in Shang Hai.

Because the police did not know Zhong Xiu Hua's identity just yet, Zhang Yang was soon released back to the hotel to join the championship. However, there was no telling about how long the death of Zhong Xiu Hua could be kept silent.

Chapter 853: An Unprecedented Finale

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang had only wanted Zhong Xiu Hua to be caught red-handed. However, he would never have thought that Zhong Xiu Hua would descend into insanity and force himself upon his own demise.

The moment Zhang Yang was abducted by the two men in black suits, Sun Xin Yu had immediately called the police. Then, she quickly traced the GPS device that was planted on Zhang Yang to get the precise location of Zhang Yang. After that, she allowed the Police to rush to the crime scene without any delay. By doing so, the police would be able to catch Zhong Xiu Hua red-handed. If they could post the video footage they had for the police operation, with so much hard evidence, Zhong Xiu Hua would never escape the law this time, even if he was still alive.

However, things escalated beyond Zhang Yang's imagination. Although Zhong Xiu Hua was dead, Zhang Yang now has to face the wrath of the Zhong Family. Their retaliation was at hand now!

"We should be able to cover Zhong Xiu Hua's death for a few more days. Let's make visas now and get out of the country for the time being."

Zhang Yang only told Han Ying Xue and Fatty Han about the death of Zhong Xiu Hua. Meanwhile, Sun Xin Yu had already utilized all her connections and connections to speed up the process of acquiring everyone's visas. So, when the Zhong Family finds out about the death of Zhong Xiu Hua, Zhang Yang and his ladies should have already gotten out of the country.

Zhang Yang believed that Zhong Xiu Hua's father would deal with things by following the justice system. However, Zhong Xiu Hua's mother... if Zhang Yang ever gets caged in the police station, he would be dead the next day!

Zhang Yang had put his life on the line once. He wouldn't risk it for the second time.

The three of them acted normal, as if nothing had ever happened for the moment. They just carried on with the upcoming matches.

During the Semifinal, the opponent that the Silky Soft Battle Team had to face was Paragon, one of the best guilds from Europe Region.

5:1! 5:2!

The Silky Soft Battle Team had once again triumphed over their opponents, proceeding into the finals without facing much of a problem. It seemed that they were about to create another new record in the history of 'God's Miracle' by being the champions of the World League Championship for the fourth time.

However, when the Steely Dang Battle Team managed to proceed into the final, a very dramatic twist of events took place.

God's Left Hand, Heart of Destruction, Captain America and other top Tier players from all around the world had switched their loyalties over toward the Indian Region and joined the Steely Dang Battle Team.

Wouldn't that be cheating, then?

It seemed that all of the top Tier guilds from all over the world were not willing to see Lone Desert Smoke's Silky Soft Battle Team complete the great cause of being the Champion of the World League Championship for 4 years straight. So they decided to try a new approach this time!

If their actions are permitted by the organizers of the championship, then the new Steely Dang Battle Team would have 3 players with Class S Inheritances after they assemble their battle team. However, they would also have over 7 players with Class A Inheritance. They would have even more players with Class A Inheritances than the Silky Soft Battle Team!

According to the rules, there was nothing wrong with this. However, from a personal perspective, that was obviously an act of cheating!

However, even though they did not violate any of the rules in the championship, the organizers were a little confused at the moment. By the end of it, they decided to let the players vote on whether to approve it or not.

Well, that was obvious, though. Other than the China Region, all Regions would never want to see the China Region become the champions again. Over 85% of the players had voted for the new Steely Dang Battle Team to be qualified for the finals! They really wanted to see the newly formed Steely Dang Battle Team go up against the Silky Soft Battle Team.

For the organizers of the championship, the audience are most important of all. Even if the matches might seem unfair, they would not even give a sh*t about it. They would only require people's support.

Meanwhile, the organizers had approached Zhang Yang to ask for his opinion as well. If the Silky Soft Battle Team does not have the will to participate in such an unfair match, these organizers would be blamed by the players who were very keen to watch the matches!

At that, Zhang Yang spoke in absolute confidence, "Let's fight then!"

Zhang Yang had the idea of quitting 'God's Miracle' eventually. Meanwhile, getting a challenge from a 'World Alliance Battle Team' would serve as the best parting gift for Zhang Yang!

However, he also made a request of his own: During the finals, all restrictions are to be lifted!

After a brief session of voting, the organizers decided to grant him his request.

On 21 January, 7 p.m, the finale for the fourth World League Championship finally began!

The two battle teams handed in their lists of line-ups before the first match could begin.

Sun Xin Yu VS Heart of Destruction!

These two were basically old rivals since forever. However, Heart of Destruction would begin to flee every single time, before the battle between the two of them could be concluded. Therefore, the two of them had never actually had a definitive showdown before. However, on the arena, one of them must fall before the battle ends!

Let the battle begin then!

As all restrictions had been lifted. The two of then activated their Inheritance Transformations. Both them of flapped their radiating wings and charged towards each another. They began the slaughtering each other up without showing any signs of mercy. The battle went on for approximately 20 minutes before Sun Xin Yu claimed victory over the match.

Although it was a battle of endurance, the two of them had put up a great performance for everyone to watch. The crowds felt so intense watching the match that they almost forgotten to breathe! They did not even feel that the match had gone on for over 20 minutes! It was like a few seconds for them! When the match ended, they only wanted more!

Since lifting all of the restrictions on the players allowed them to use all of their Skills, the players were able to unleash their full potential on the arena. Although the power level between players with top Class Inheritance and players with low-Class Inheritance differed greatly, the match would be incredibly interesting to watch when two players with the same Class Inheritances were to clash on the arena!

1:0, the Silky Soft Battle Team was in the lead for the moment.

On the second match, it was time for the match between Wei Yan Er VS Captain America!

During the battle between these two Berserkers, everyone could tell that the two of them were on the same standards, in regards to their experiences and controls. However, Wei Yan Er had acquired 3 pieces of Celestial Tier Equipment. Her Attack, Defence and HP amount were beyond Captain America! It was no surprise for Wei Yan Er to claim victory in the second match as well!

2:0!

On the third match, it was time for the match between Lost Dream VS Hourglass Figure!

Although Lost Dream also had 3 pieces of Celestial Tier equipment, there was no way that he could cover the gap between having a Class B Inheritance and having a Class S Inheritance. When the two of them activated their own Inheritance Transformations, the power level between the two of them became so obvious that everyone already knew who would win by the end of the battle!

Lost Dream lost… 2:1, the 'World Alliance Battle Team' has earned back one point!

On the fourth match, it was time for the match between Daffodil Daydream VS God's Left Hand!

God's Left Hand had extraordinarily powerful Defence and high HP. Furthermore, he also had his godly powerful Healing ability which made him a 'dual-Class' player! Even though his Attack power was not very strong, he still managed to slowly torture Daffodil Daydream to her demise by relying on his endless healing ability and his Defence!

2:2! The two battle teams had gotten a tie for the moment!

On the fifth match, it was time for the match between Han Ying Xue VS Seductive Wild Pussy!

Previously, God's Left Hand had slowly tortured Daffodil Daydream to death. This time around, it was Han Ying Xue's turn to torture Seductive Wild Pussy to her demise.

3:2! The Silky Soft Battle Team was once again in the lead.

On the sixth match, it was time for the match between Hundred Shots VS The Cupid!

The Cupid was a new Top Tier player who rose from India Region, a Cryomancer who acquired the Class A 'Heart of the Swarm' Inheritance. This player had been kept in secret by Hourglass Figure until now. Because of that, this player became an element of surprise that won the match! Upon summoning a sea of insects to drown Hundred Shots, even though the insects were just Normal Tier monsters, they managed to eat Hundred Shots alive!

3:3! The two battle teams were tied again!

Zhang Yang decided to forfeit for the seventh match. He intended to let the two battle teams decide the champion through the team battle session.

Truth to be told, it would be pointless even if any of them could score the fourth win just now. When both sides had scored at least 3 wins, the only way of deciding which battle team wins would be participating in the team battle session of the championship.

In the team battle session, the 'World Alliance Battle Team' had sent forth Hourglass Figure, Heart of Destruction, God's Left Hand, Seductive Wild Pussy and Captain America. With three players possessing Class S Inheritances and two players with Class A Inheritances, they formed quite an impressive team there. That was basically the same standard as the Silky Soft Battle Team's best line-up, currently!

Meanwhile, on the Silky Soft Battle Team, Zhang Yang was the only contestant who stepped forth!

"Silky Soft Battle Team, please notify the other four of your team members to come onto the arena. Or else your battle team is going to be forfeited due to time out." The host of the event immediately notified Zhang Yang. Well, the two battle teams only had 2 minutes to get ready. Meanwhile, it was already 90 seconds after the clock started ticking.

Zhang Yang smiled vaguely and said, "I'm going to take you 5 all by myself!"

"WHAT?!"

"He's insane!"

"There're 3 players with Class S Inheritance and 2 players with Class A Inheritance over that side! Wouldn't it be too cocky of him to think about taking all 5 of them all by himself?!"

"He's arrogant as f*ck!"

The finale had attracted at least 2,000,000,000 players to watch the match. Upon hearing what Zhang Yang had to say, everyone revealed their disagreement on their faces. Maybe, just maybe, one player with Class S Inheritance might be capable of taking on 5 players with Class A Inheritance at the same time. However, if there is one extra player with a Class S Inheritance on the opposition team, there was no way in hell he would survive that!

"Zhan Yu, you arrogant f*cker!" Captain America screamed in rage.

Zhang Yang looked at him in disdain and said, "My teammates trust me. They allow me to do this once! Even if I lose here, so what? We can win again, a couple more times in the upcoming matches. However, if you guys lose here today, will you still have the confidence to continue on with the upcoming matches? I'd say, no! Haha!"

Let's assume that the five of them could not beat Zhang Yang when he's all alone now. Unless they win the next 1VS1 session with the score of 5:0, 5:1, or 5:2, they would not stand a chance to even enter the Team Battle session later on!

However, no one could change the fact that Zhang Yang was acting as if he was overestimating himself at the moment!

He is indeed a player with Class S Inheritance. However, Hourglass Figure, God's Left Hand and Heart of Destruction were also players with Class S Inheritances! They were basically on the same standard as Zhang Yang!

Could it be possible that the Silky Soft Battle Team intended to lose for once this time?

Every single audience by the side was thinking alike at the moment.

2 minutes passed in blink of an eye. After that, all of the contestants received the notification from the system. The Battle Team finally begun! So, it did not matter if Zhang Yang is trying to put up an act, or if he had just lost himself in his confidence. The pace of the match would not be disrupted anymore.

The 6 of them activated their Inheritance Transformations at the same instance!

Currently, everything would work similarly to the 1VS1 matches. Once the players were in the arena, their Skills would be automatically refreshed. Therefore, Hourglass Figure and the others could use their Inheritance Transformations again after they have used them in their previous PvP matches earlier on.

Phoenix pet appeared! Felice appeared! All of them had activated their Transformation Skills!

"Kill!"

Zhang Yang looked deadly serious on his face. He flapped the wings on his back and flew straight towards Captain America. Captain America could not even blink once before Zhang Yang arrived right before his eyes. With a solid swing from his axe, Zhang Yang smashed Captain America with a powerful blow.

'-1,879,803!'

Even though the approximately 2,000,000 damage was not low at all, Captain America had boosted his HP amount up to about 1,000,000,000 HP upon activating his Inheritance Transformation. That amount of damage was not much of a deal to him.

{Destructive Smash}!

'-3,768,802!'

Upon receiving that attack, not only Captain America received a high damage value, and he was also afflicted with a 75% reduction in his Healing Efficiency.

"Zhan Yu! Your overwhelming pride will be the one reason you're digging your own grave!" God's Left Hand began to heal Captain America. Although he could only unleash 25% of his healing ability on Captain America, it was enough to keep Captain America's HP bar from being depleted. Meanwhile, the other four were quite powerful as well. They definitely packed enough firepower to kill Zhang Yang within a brief period of time!

{God of War Shield} activated!

{Rock Solid} activated!

'-0!'

'-0!'

'-0!'

A series of damage popped up on top of Zhang Yang. However, all the damage values were zero! Their attacks did nothing at all to him!

Chapter 854: Battle!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"That's unbelievable! A Guardian has 20% Passive Damage Immunity. Zhang Yang's full Celestial Tier Armor set has a 20% Passive Damage Immunity. His shield has a 20% Passive Damage Immunity. Furthermore, his {Rock Solid} also bestows him with a 30% Passive Damage Immunity. So Zhan Yu's Passive Damage Immunity has reached over 100%! Any attack will be nullified by the Passive Damage Immunity on him! That's really unbelievable! Oh my god! No wonder Zhan Yu decided to take all 5 of his opponents at once! I can't believe that his Defence has become so insanely horrifying!"

"No no no, Jack… You've overestimated Zhan Yu. This 100% Passive Damage Immunity is just temporary. His {God of War Shield} only lasts for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, his {Rock Solid} only lasts for 10 seconds. Therefore, Zhan Yu has to end the battle within 10 minutes, or his Defence will go back to normal!"

"But, he will still have 70% Passive Damage Immunity for those 10 minutes, right? That's still a terrifying value for a Defence, don't you think? Also, not only does Zhan Yu have a terrifyingly high Defence, his Attack power is also incredibly high!"

"That's right. According to the data shown, Zhan Yu's basic attacks can range from 1,730,000 to 1,910,000 damage upon activating his {God of War Transformation}. His Critical Rate will reach up to 27%. His {Lucky Strike} will reach up to 3.5%! Meanwhile, his HP will reach over 343,160,000 HP! Also, his Defence shoots up to 280,000! Holy mama god! How can a player have such stats in the game?!"

The 3 commentators were speaking until their saliva drooled all over the place. Well, they were the officials. Of course, they would be capable of checking on the attributes and Skills of any player. Also, their voices were only heard by the audiences. The 6 contestants inside the arena would not be hearing those noisy commentators babbling about with their own theories, anyway.

"So let us make some comparison then. On the Steely Dang Battle Team, the player with highest HP is God's Left hand. However, he only has approximately 180,000,000 HP. Well, he's also a Tanker. However, because his equipment and his Aura Skill are weaker, the differences between the amount of HP amounts on both sides are huge."

"Meanwhile, the other two players who have activated their Class S Inheritance are considered less durable than both of them. Look at Hourglass Figure. Her Basic Attack range only from 1,220,000 to 1,400,000 damage. In other words, her Attack power is 30% weaker than Zhang Yang's. Holy mama god! How can there be such a huge difference!?"

"Well, we can't just compare the attributes of a Spell Type player to the attributes of a Melee Type player. Let's take another more specific example then. Heart of Destruction's Magic Attack is approximately 100,000 points. That being said, his 200% Magic Attack could deal approximately 1,640,000 damage!"

"However, everyone, don't forget that Zhan Yu still has one powerful pet and one powerful Battle Companion. Those two can also activate Transformation Skills! Let us provide you with some information about those two, then!"

"So let's look at the Phoenix pet first. Upon activating its Transformation Skill, the Phoenix pet will have over 210,000,000 HP! Holy mama god, Bruce! Are my eyes still working? That's even higher than the HP of God's Left Hand!"

"My brother, your eyes are definitely looking at the correct figures! Because Zhan Yu's Phoenix pet is indeed a Legendary Tier pet. Meanwhile, Zhan Yu also has the Skill {Beast Taming}. He can ride on his pet mount in an indoor environment. Meanwhile, the Attack power of the Legendary Tier pet… holy god… it's ranging from 1,360,000 damage and 1,660,000 damage! That's even more powerful than the Attack power of Hourglass Figure!"

"Well, let us look at Zhan Yu's Battle Companion, Felice! That Battle Companion has over 15 stars of attribute growth! She's a walking Celestial Tier Boss! Oh my god! She now has over 630,000,000 HP and her basic Attack power ranges from 2,640,000 to 3,000,000 damage!"

"That's totally insane! These two are basically having the same amount of HP and Attack power of two players with Class S Inheritance! No, the HP and Attack power of Felice has exceeded any player in the current game!"

"Everyone, we first thought that this would be an unfair battle. But now, we have to change our view towards this battle!"

"That's right! This should be a battle that's full of suspense!"

"Even though Steely Dang Battle Team has the upper hand in the battle, but they have a glaring weakness. They have not actually cooperated before after all this time. Zhan Yu might use that to his advantage and give them all a good surprise!"

"So everyone, open up your eyes and witness this great battle! This is going to be a battle that will be remembered for centuries!"

Well, the Chinese used to say, injuring all of a man's fingers is not as effective as chopping off one. So Zhang Yang decided to focus all his attacks on Captain America. Captain America was afflicted with the effect of {Destructive Smash}. His healing efficiency had been greatly reduced because of that. So it would be wise to target him and take him out first!

Upon taking a [Mobility Potion, Zhang Yang could ignore any form of Status Restriction Effects for the next 20 seconds. So, he could deal as much damage as he could during that period of time.

Phoenix pet spat out a stream of blazing flames. As the flames scorched across the ground, the five of them were forced to stay away from each other so that they would not get burned to death at the same spot! The Legendary Tier pet's DPS had reached over 2,100,000 damage. If one is burned too many times by staying on the same spot, that player would have to receive a devastating amount of damage.

After Felice unsealed her fourth seal, the star growth for all of her attributes had reached 15 stars. There, she finally acquired her strongest Humanoid Form Transformation Skill!

[Goddess of War Scion Form: Upon entering the 'Goddess of War Scion Form', Felice's damage dealt will increase by 500%. Furthermore, her damage dealt will be Chaos Damage. Felice's Defence will increase by 500%. Felice's HP will be multiplied by 40 times. She'll have immunity to all Status Restriction Effects. In her 'Goddess of War Scion Form', she can use all her Skills of her Humanoid Form. Last for 2 hours. Cooldown: 72 hours. Upon entering her 'Goddess of War Scion Form', her Dragonhawk Form, Spectral Tiger Form and Tree of Life form will all enter the state of cooldown at the same time.

Well, Felice was really a pain in the *sses for all of them, especially her ability to be immune to all Status Restriction Effects! Well, that dragon lady had a HP bar that was far beyond Zhang Yang's. Furthermore, she was totally immune to any form of Status Restriction Effects! In other words, the others could only leave her be and let her attack them! However, each of Felice's attacks could deal approximately 2,800,000 damage! If she just unleashes a few Skills as she attacks, her DPS could become as strong as Zhang Yang's DPS!

Well, Zhang Yang would never give a sh*t about those detailsss. With Phoenix pet tagging along with him, the two of them unleashed everything they've got on Captain America. Their main intention was to deal as much damage as they could to Captain America. Because Captain America was afflicted with the effect of {Destructive Smash}, God's Left Hand was not capable of healing Captain America back up. God's Left Hand can only witness the rapid reduction on Captain America's HP bar.

Meanwhile, Hourglass Figure and the others were targeting Zhang Yang from the sidelines.

Unlike the real 5VS5 matches, it would not matter much, even though Phoenix pet and Felice were extremely powerful. They were merely 'followers' of Zhang Yang. As long as Zhang Yang is killed, the both of them would vanish! Well, Zhang Yang's {Rock Solid} was about to expire. However, Zhang Yang would still have over 70% Passive Damage Immunity and 280,000 Defence power. The amount of effective damage they could deal on Zhang Yang was approximately 400,000 damage only. They would still need approximately 3 minutes to deplete Zhang Yang's entire HP bar. Well, Captain America would have died a couple of times during that period of time!

Captain America quickly activated an Accessory and went into a state of invincibility.

Zhang Yang immediately switched over to attack another player. His next target was God's Left Hand! Well, he did not intend to deal much damage on God's Left Hand. His real intention was to disrupt God's Left Hand from healing Captain America up as much as he could!

Everyone was dealing as much damage as they could to their respective targets. Unfortunately, Zhang Yang's Defence was overwhelmingly high. It was considered a good outcome for Hourglass Figure and the others to deal 20% of their damage on Zhang Yang!

{Brute Smash}! {Blast Wave}! {Heroic Leap}!

Zhang consecutively used three of his Status Restriction Skills on God's Left Hand and had him restrained for over 109 seconds. God's Left Hand was not able to heal Captain America at all during that period of time. Because the effect of {Destructive Smash} on Captain America had vanished, Zhang Yang could now deal 100% damage to him.

The moment the 10-second invincibility effect had ended, Zhang Yang immediately activated his {Charge} and clashed into Captain America. Right after that, he began to poke Captain America as hard as he could.

However, that moment was also the moment Zhang Yang's [Mobility Potion] wore off. So, Hourglass Figure and the others quickly took the opportunity to throw their Status Restriction Skills onto Zhang Yang. As long as they could restrain Zhang Yang's movements, not only could they deal a tremendous amount of damage to Zhang Yang, they could also have spare time to heal themselves. Well, they did have the advantage in numbers.

Unfortunately for them, they had never actually practiced together in a battle. So it could not be helped that they would accidentally stack their Status Restriction Skills altogether on Zhang Yang at times. Because of that, some of their Status Restriction Skills went to waste, because their effects would not stack.

{Warrior's Will}!

{Destructive Smash}!

After using {Warrior's Will}, the {Destructive Smash} would be a guaranteed Critical Hit. Not only did it deal quite a number on Captain America, the attack had also afflicted Captain America with 75% reduction to his Healing Efficiency.

Felice's DPS had reached over 2,000,000 damage, while Phoenix pet could also deal over 1,000,000 damage in each passing second. So, these two could easily take out Captain America within 40 seconds. Also, Zhang Yang had an even higher Attack power than the two of them! When Zhang Yang still had approximately 83% HP remaining on him, Captain America's HP bar had dropped to 20% only!

Without having any choice left, Captain America was forced to use his {Warrior's Will} to disable to effects he got from {Destructive Smash}. Right after that, he activated his ultimate life-saving Skill to instantly recover 50% of his HP bar. Then, he recovered another 50% of his HP in the next 5 seconds.

Captain America is quite a skilled player indeed. He waited for Zhang Yang to smack him with {Destructive Smash} first, before using his {Warrior's Will}. Because of that, Zhang Yang had to wait for another 8 seconds before he could use another {Destructive Smash} to maintain the Healing Efficiency Reduction Effect on Captain America. There, Captain America managed to gain a little time to make sure that his 50% Healing amount is not affected at all.

"Nicely done!"

The three hosts were beginning to speak in high voices again.

However, Captain America was a little disappointed with himself at the moment. Well, he was forced to use his ultimate life-saving Skills in less than 30 seconds! He had never felt so humiliated in all his life. However, he was currently facing Zhang Yang, the best of the best among all Regions in the game!

Zhang Yang laughed out loud and said, "Let's see how you keep this up!"

"Zhan Yu, you better don't get too cocky!" Hourglass Figure and the others scolded and cursed at Zhang Yang.

God's Left Hand activated his {Vanguard's Aggression} and covered his teammates in a bluish barrier in the shape of a dome. By doing so, the damage that his teammates received were all reduced by 90%. Of course, the damage that he would be receiving would increase by 100%! Instantly, the five of them had become one party for the moment.

Zhang Yang had no choice but to switch his targets again. By using his {Blast Wave}, he stunned all five of his opponents, closely followed by activating his {Charge Up Strike} and {Sky Slicer}! That was the most deadly Skill-combination he had at the moment!

The five of them were so shocked to see that. With God's Left Hand's current Defence, 10 hits from {Sky Slicer} might not be able to kill him just yet. However, now that God's Left Hand had activated his {Vanguard's Aggression}, he would be receiving more damage than before whenever he was attacked. In other words, he had lost all of his Defence power for the moment. So how would he survive Zhang Yang's onslaught then?

Without further ado, they began to activate all of their Anti-Status Restriction Skills one after another to disable the Stun Effect Zhang Yang 'bestowed' upon them with his {Blast Wave}. The moment they recovered from stun effect, they began to activate their Status Restriction Skills on Zhang Yang.

Meanwhile, God's Left Hand was shocked into activating his {Ancient Defender's Shield}. It was a Skill similar to {Shield Wall}.

Zhang Yang was instantly stunned!

However, the usage of that many Skills had managed to force Zhang Yang into using his most powerful Skill of all. It was a good trade!

"Haha! Your Status Restriction Skills are all used up! It's our turn to strike!" Captain America and God's Left Hand cried out loud in joy almost at the same instant.

Meanwhile, Hourglass Figure and the others also took the opportunity to activate their strongest Skills in an attempt to aid Captain America and God's Left Hand at killing Zhang Yang instantly!

Chapter 855: Smoldering Intensity

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang grinned faintly. Although he still had one Accessory that could allow him to break out of any Status Restriction Effect once, he did not intend to use it for the moment.

So, he activated his {Shield Wall}. That Skill would still be accessible even while he is under a Status Restriction Effect.

Although his {Rock Solid} was no longer in effect, Zhang Yang could still have over 92.5% Passive Damage Immunity under the support of his {Shield Wall}.

Even if any of his opponents could deal as much damage as the last hit of his {Sky Slicer}, the amount of damage the strike would deal would drop from 1,200,000 to 700,000 damage!

In the meantime, Heart of Destruction and the others were trying their very best to restrain Zhang Yang as much as they could. They were attempting to buy enough time for God's Left Hand and Captain America to fully unleash the full potential of their {Sky Slicers} on Zhang Yang.

Unfortunately, 10 seconds later, Zhang Yang only lost approximately 14,000,000 HP!

He laughed out loud and got out of the Stun Effect. Immediately, he returned the favor to Captain America with his {God of War Restoration}.

'-9,758,923!'

{God of War Restoration} could recover all the HP lost over the past 6 seconds. Meanwhile, Captain America was focused on using his {Sky Slicer}. He had opted to forego his {Destructive Smash} on Zhang Yang earlier on! Because of that, Zhang Yang managed to heal 100% of his healing efficiency!

In other words, all the ultimate Skills that Hourglass and the others used on Zhang Yang only managed to take away approximately 5,000,000 HP of Zhang Yang. That was… really a blow to their faces!

"He got through! Zhan Yu has avoided being killed without facing any difficulties!"

"Actually, I'd say that the two {Sky Slicer} should have been used separately. Then, at least one of their {Sky Slicers} would not have been affected by Zhan Yu's {Shield Wall}!"

"However, the Status Restriction Skills of the players are limited, after all! If they had used their {Sky Slicer} separately, the second person who uses it might get interrupted by Zhan Yu easily!"

"Well, they could wait for the cooldowns of their Status Restriction Skills to be over before using them, right? They can just wait for 1 minute for everything to cool down first."

"But can Captain America last another 1 minute? Look at his condition now!"

"That sounds dangerous and risky!"

While the three hosts were explaining the situations to the audience, Zhang Yang had once again started his ferocious attacks on Captain America. In just 30 seconds, he had once again reduced the HP bar of Captain America to 20%!

{Apocalyptic Bondage}!

God's Left Hand had activated his most powerful Skill to hooked Zhang Yang over to him, putting Zhang Yang into a situation where he could only attack God's Left Hand for the next 10 minutes!

That was a very powerful Skill for luring monsters. At the same time, the Skill was also deemed to be the best at protecting the player's teammates! Captain America instantly vanished from the sight of Zhang Yang. Even Felice and Phoenix pet were not able to lock on to any targets in their vicinity!

To defeat Captain America during this period of time, the only way was to hit Captain America with all sorts of AoE Attacks. Well, only the splash attacks of AoE Skills would work for the moment. Furthermore, Captain America had to be within the effective range of Zhang Yang's AoE attacks!

In other words, Captain America had been saved from meeting his own demise. 10 minutes was more than enough for the others to heal Captain America's HP back up!

"Do you think that I can't move you, just because you have a super thick skin?" Zhang Yang laughed out loud and switched his target to God's Left Hand. At the same time, he activated his {Tribulation} to deflect any form of attacks for the next 10 minutes. Meanwhile, Zhang Yang's Defence was insanely high. If his enemy was to deal approximately 500,000 damage on Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang could deflect approximately 1,300,000 damage back to his enemy! Who could afford to receive that much of a damage then?!

As the Chinese say, killing a thousand of your enemies would require you to sacrifice 800 of your own. Well, at least you're still earning something, if you compare the numbers, right? However, the situation was like killing fifty of your enemies by sacrificing a hundred of your own! That's quite a great loss, don't you think?

Well, the battle had to go on, even though he was suffering a great loss. Could he be beaten up by Zhang Yang within 10 minutes? God's Left Hand's Defence and Healing Ability were stunningly powerful. However, he could not survive long against Zhang Yang, Felice, and Phoenix pet after all!

Without any choice left, he could only charge into battle. When worst comes to worst, God's Left Hand would have to use his life-saving Skills. Meanwhile, he was also the toughest player among the 5 of them. If he can't last against Zhang Yang, the others would definitely fail as well!

All sorts of Skills were seen across the arena. Zhang Yang could only see God's Left Hand and God's Left Hand only in his sight. Therefore, he could not make any accurate moves to dodge or avoid being hit by the Skills thrown at him. Sometimes, he would even collide into someone, because he could not see anyone else! It was really troublesome.

Zhang Yang was losing HP rapidly. However, God's Left Hand was suffering as well. He was being pushed back so violently that he had to use one of his life-saving Skills to heal himself.

Although God's Left Hand had quite a high amount of HP, a powerful Healing Ability, a super high Defence, he was still not capable of withstanding the combined Attacks of Zhang Yang, Felice and Phoenix pet. In just less than two minutes, his HP bar was about to hit the bottom!

God's Left Hand was so shocked that he quickly activated his Invincibility Skill, followed by his ultimate healing Skill that he could only use once in every 30 minutes! Instantly, his HP bar was healed back up.

Meanwhile, Hourglass Figure and the others had retreated to the sidelines after battling for approximately 1 minute. Well, they were constantly getting hit by the deflected attacks throughout the entire battle, after all. So, they had no choice but to spam using their Healing Potions and Bandages to heal themselves back up. They looked pathetic.

For them, Zhang Yang was a Celestial Tier boss! It was just too difficult for them to battle against Zhang Yang!

{Charge Up Strike}, {God of War Devastation}!

Although Zhang Yang could not see the other four of them around, his {God of War Devastation} has become an AoE attack because his EP bar was full at that particular moment! Well, the attack would spread across into the surroundings, finding the targets automatically, dealing approximately 15,000,000 basic damage to all 5 of them on the arena!

"F*CK!" Captain America could not help but curse. As he was only taking care of himself, Captain America could only rely on using his own Bandages and Potions. He did not even dare to go up and hit Zhang Yang. It was mainly because he might get hit to death by the deflected attacks before he could kill Zhang Yang. So, he could only stay at the sidelines, staring at Zhang Yang. It was quite humiliating for him.

Hourglass Figure grit her teeth and suddenly, she took out a scroll. Then she tore it and threw it over her own head.

[Forbidden Scroll: Sacred Glory] (Consumable)

Use: Recover 10% HP once in every second for all friendly units in the range of 5-kilometer. Lasts for 30 seconds.

Required Level: 200

"Holy god! She has a Forbidden Scroll that heals everyone on her side! A large-scale healing Forbidden Scroll!"

"Holy mama god! She's worthy of being the guildmaster for the number one guild in India Region! She's just so willing to spend!"

"More importantly, she actually used that scroll on 5 players, only! I have no words to describe her actions!"

The three hosts sprayed their saliva across the table once again. Even though the finale in this championship had lifted some restrictions, however, using one Forbidden Scroll in a match was a little too much. After all, the final reward for becoming the champion of this World League Championship was not as valuable as one Forbidden Scroll!

Although Zhang Yang could not see Hourglass Figure tearing a Forbidden Scroll and using it on herself, he could still make a deduction by observing the rapid increase on God's Left Hand's HP bar.

Well, none of that mattered, anyway. It was futile for them to try any tricks!

30 seconds had passed, Zhang Yang immediately threw {Glare of the Death God} onto God's Left Hand!

God's Left Hand immediately panicked. That was because he had used all of his life-saving Skills once. The only thing that he could do was to pray that Zhang Yang does not trigger the special effect of his {Glare of the Death Gpd}.

However, it was a wild dream! Not only was Zhang Yang hitting him, Phoenix pet and Felice were also hitting him!

'-183,693,459!'

{Glare of the Death God} activated! God's Left Hand only had 1 HP remaining on him, all of a sudden!

{Blazing Dragon's Spear}!

Felice quickly struck God's Left Hand before he could even react and sent him straight out of the arena!

One down!

However, the {Apocalyptic Bondage} did not fade upon God's Left Hand's death. Instead, Zhang Yang had lost the only target he could aim at! So he immediately rose into the air and used his speed to fly blindly in the arena. His main intention was to drag the battle on for the remaining 4 minutes before the {Apocalyptic Bondage} expires!

Or else, Zhang Yang would be a live target for the remaining 4 enemies on the arena! Although his {Tribulation} was quite powerful, to begin with, the other four had managed to heal themselves up with the use of a Forbidden Scroll. Even if they were planning to deal damage to Zhang Yang by receiving damage from Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang would still be the one who suffers a greater loss! After all, he would be receiving damage from 4 other players!

He flew around with no patterns whatsoever. So, he could still dodge some of the attacks by chance. However, he would also accidentally rush into the crossfire of all four players at the same time! Well, it was fortunate that Zhang Yang managed to survive the remaining duration of the {Apocalyptic Bondage}.

Zhang Yang still had 27% HP remaining. Meanwhile, other than Captain America who only managed to recover his HP up to 49%, the others still had more than 90% HP on them!

"Zhan Yu! You'll pay for your own cockiness!"

"I don't think so!" Zhang Yang once again focused all his attacks on Captain America. With a flutter in his wings, he charged in and began his attacks on his target like a madman. Meanwhile, Phoenix pet and Felice had also locked their targets on Captain America.

35%, 30%, 25%... the HP bar of Captain America was reducing so rapidly!

However, Zhang Yang's {Tribulation} was over as well!

Hourglass Figure and the others had nothing left to worry about now! So they began to launch their fiercest attacks on Zhang Yang. They were also using their Status Restriction Skills at Zhang Yang as frequent as they could in attempt to save Captain America. Well, it was because Captain America was quite a powerful source of DPS! After all, Zhang Yang had not used his {Radiance of God of War} just yet. If Captain America's {Destructive Smash} could just affect Zhang Yang, that would reduce 75% of Zhang Yang's Healing Efficiency! Zhang Yang would be losing the ability to heal over 200,000,000 HP!

However, it would still be futile if they just restrain Zhang Yang. The firepower of Felice and Phoenix pet combined was deemed to be as powerful as Zhang Yang's Attack power! So, the two of them could still take out Captain America within 30 seconds! Well, Felice would not be affected by any form of Status Restriction Effects. Unless Zhang Yang is killed or Zhang Yang is occupied by Skills such as {Apocalyptic Bondage} that causes him to lose his ability to target something, this dragon lady could be deemed as the most terrifying existence on this arena right now!

Well, Felice's HP was insanely long. Also, she could not be affected by any Status Restriction Effect. Not to mention that her Attack power was insanely high! With these three attributes combined, Felice has become one of the most difficult beings to kill!

20%, 15%, 10%!

Well, Status Restriction Effects had limited durations, after all. Zhang Yang continued to pursue Captain America. Upon activating {Indiscrimination} and {Killing Cleave}, Zhang Yang finally sent Captain America out of the arena.

However, Zhang Yang only had approximately 9% HP remaining on him at the moment! The situation seemed to be very dire for him!

{Radiance of God of War}!

'347,160,000!'

Zhang Yang instantly recovered his full HP! Then he looked at the three remaining 'kittens' on the arena with murderous eyes.

Sacrificing two players just to empty out one bar of Zhang Yang's HP was not an optimistic outcome that they were hoping for. Although the two dead players were not the strongest DPS players, however, with two players missing from the arena, it would require an even long time for them to take out Zhang Yang's entire HP bar!

Zhang Yang went on to pursue Seductive Wild Pussy. After a series of intense and deadly attacks, Zhang Yang sacrificed 30% of his HP in order to force Seductive Wild Pussy to use all of her life-saving Skills once!

The Invincibility Effect of the [God Killer Cape] was activated. Zhang Yang then activated {Charge Up Strike}, closely followed by his {Sky Slicer}!

Seductive Wild Pussy was instantly shocked to the point, that her face turned pale!

That's right. Players who use {Sky Slicer} would be pretty easy to interrupt. Even if they are uninterrupted, their enemies could activate their Invincible Skills or other Skills such as {Apparate} to get out of the effective range of the {Sky Slicer}. However, now that Zhang Yang activated his Invincibility Effect while spinning his axe with his {Sky Slicer}, it would be impossible for anyone to interrupt him. Meanwhile, on the other side, Hourglass Figure had just used up all of her life-saving Skills. Although she still had over 90% HP remaining, she basically had nothing left to save herself now! All of her Skills were on cooldown!

In other words, she could only take all of the damage dealt head-on!

'-5,570,961!'

'-11,141,922!'

...

Before the tenth strike commenced, Zhang Yang had already sent Hourglass Figure out of the arena with his eighth strike of his {Sky Slicer}. That strike had reached over 150,000,000 damage!

And then, there were two.

Zhang Yang smiled at them, or should we say…snarl…

Chapter 856: Conclusion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"I cannot believe my eyes! My lord! Zhang Yu had killed the third member of Steely Dangs Battle Team! What the hell is actually happening!? Just look at Zhan Yu's HP! It's still at 68%! Looks like Hourglass Figure and Heart of Destruction have no chance of defeating him!"

"Calm down. They had still plenty of opportunities. After all, those two remaining players are the strongest DPS units in the party! What's more, Zhan Yu only has 69% HP left. He has already dispensed {God of War Radiant} and can no longer recover his HP. On the other hand, both Heart of Destruction and Hourglass Figure still have their HP recovery skills. Despite your observations, I think that Steely Dangs would still advance come up top!"

"Relax a little, both of you. You guys look like you're about to start a fight with each other. Enjoy the match. I believe that the winner will show itself soon."

All three commentators were getting hyped at broadcasting their commentaries. Zhang Yang could not help but feel a little relaxed then. Still, he could not let down his guard for even a second. He was facing off both Heart of Destruction and Hourglass Figure at the same time.

"Hmph. I still have my trump cards."

"GARH!" Zhang Yang roared with vigor and leaped forward. With a snap of his fingers, 10 puffs of smoke appeared in the field and 10 Zhang Yangs emerged, concealing the real Zhang Yang somewhere in their ranks. Naturally, he grouped all of himself together and mixed them up to confuse the enemy.

His sudden attack worked marvelously as both Hourglass Figure and Heart of Destruction wavered for a brief second. Zhang Yang caught that moment and immediately made a poker face while the rest of his clones were commanded to express themselves fully.

Even though the clones would only last for 2 minutes, it was equivalent to double damage if Zhang Yang were to attack one of the two players on the field.

"No time to think!" cried out all the Zhang Yangs as he leaped towards them and begun the attack.

With a quick maneuver, Zhang Yang controlled all the clones to attack Heart of Destruction. Even though he had over 120,000,000 HP, he was unable to hold on for long when he is surrounded by 11 Zhang Yangs! All skills were used, including the precious invulnerability and 100% HP restoration.

The last three players that were on that field were no doubt the strongest players. Heart of Destruction welcomed all the clones and with utmost proficiency, and killed them one by one. The real Zhang Yang moved around swiftly, switching occasionally from his clone and himself, taking hits from Heart of Destruction, in the end managing to survive until all 11 Clones had little to no HP left.

"Tired?" one of the clones talked and was continued by the other clone.

"How about-"

"A rest?"

"You look a little-"

"Stressed there."

Heart of Destruction panted heavily but smiled.

"Right back at you."

However, just when there was a glimmer of hope for Heart of Destruction as he thought that he had spotted the real Zhang Yang, the real Zhang Yang revealed himself from behind Heart of Destruction and dealt an upward slice to kill him.

"This….cannot be…"

"OH MY GOD!!!!!!" one of the broadcasters yelled in the microphone.

"DID YOU SEE THAT!? WHAT A MIND BLOWING SKILL!"

"Calm yourself. I won't say that the second time."

Panting heavily, Zhang Yang stood still as the rest of the 10 clones disappeared in a puff of smoke.

His HP was still roughly the same as before, at 67%. He had made a living proof of himself that Zhan Yu the player is not someone you can mess with. He f*#$@ you up inside out, upside down! Heart of Destruction had made a fatal mistake. He should have used AoE skills to deal damage to the real Zhang Yang.

"I give up."

…

…

…

"Hey man. Did I yell too loud? I think I heard something wrong. Did she just say that she is giving up the fight?"

"Yes. You were practically yelling like a gorilla without his daily banana. And yes, she did say that she gave up."

"…This is unexpected."

Zhang Yang widened his eyes in disbelief and lowered both his weapons. Even Phoenix and Felice both flew down and landed next to Zhang Yang. Hourglass Figure walked towards Zhang Yang with no intention of attacking.

"Why?"

She did not reply. After sighing heavily, she turned around and walked away disgruntledly.

At that moment, she had a total of 2 HP bars worth of HP. (100% HP restoration counts as one HP bar). However, with the combined attack of Zhang Yang, Phoenix, and Felice, she had calculated that she could last for 2 minutes, at best. Even though Zhang Yang only had 67% HP left, the number was over 230,000,000 HP. That HP amount was exactly the same as Hourglass Figure's total HP.

As for Defense, if Zhang Yang was a brickwall, Hourglass Figure would be a thin A4 60gsm paper. As for attack power, Zhang Yang had Phoenix and Felice to account for, what else could she do then but give up? Fighting would only be a waste of time.

"You're going to give up without actually fight it out?" Zhang Yang asked as he dropped his shield.

"I'm not a fool. I know my weaknesses as well as your strengths. It's futile to even try. Although it pains me so to acknowledge this, you're one hell of a fighter, Zhan Yu. Victory is yours. You won fair and square…"

Hourglass Figure raised her hands up into the sky to announce her defeat.

5:4. Silky Soft Battle Team had won the first round!

Zhang Yang laughed. He had accomplished what he wanted to, and that was to crush the hopes of the opponent by fighting five of them, alone. In the second round, Silky Soft Battle Team won the match with a high score of 5:2. They had won the fight against Steely Dangs Battle Team with a perfect score of 2:0!

"Well? Do you want to do it? Or should I?"

"Be my guest."

"*ahem* LADIES AND GENTLEMAN! Feast your eyes on the winners of the fourth World Battle Team S class World Championship League! The mighty, the strong, the powerful SILKY SOFT BATTLE TEAM!"

Zhang Yang could never get used to that battle tag. Not only it does not have a ring to it, it sounds extremely awkward! Still, a champion remains a champion. Zhang Yang raised his sword up high and the entire audience stood up to cheer for him.

Zhang Yang walked back asked Wei Yan Er. "Did I do good?"

The little girl scoffed and wiped away her tears, even though she had wanted to hide it.

"Well…I'd give you a 7.5 out of 10. There was no style."

"Hahahahaha! In that case, I shall make a special sure-kill skill combo and name it "The Drizzler Drop"! How about that?"

"Do that, and I'll give you full marks."

Everyone laughed even though their hearts were literally at their throats not two minutes ago.

All was well. All was good. With the title of World Champion, Zhang Yang and the entire gang returned to Zhou Su City. Not long after, Sun Xin Yu had called in and told everyone that she had just made preparations to leave the country for good. Everyone in the mansion, Fatty Han, two troublemakers, Yu Li and her mother, and Cheng Xue Yao boarded the plane and left for Luxembourg. There, no one could touch them. Dusk Phoenix, the future Queen of the castle will ensure everyone's safety.

Just then, everyone had just received the news about Zhong Xiu Hua's death and although they bore hatred to him, they still mourned for his death. Zhang Yang alone felt a little different. How did that son of a couple of strong powerful parents end up doing something that would get himself killed? Sigh, there's a saying that would fit the situation perfectly. No matter how well a monkey climbs a tree, once it drops to the ground, it will die.

Zhang Yang felt paranoid during the entire time and had everyone he knew and cared for, leave the country to seek refuge in Luxembourg. He could not afford to lose any one of them or he feared that he too will become another Zhong Xiu Hua with all the power he had. There was nothing he could do then except to choose to live a quiet life for a brief period. The sun waits for no man. Even if Zhang Yang wishes otherwise…

The death of Zhong Xiu Hua was not something that the police could hide for long. After just a short duration, the case of taken over by the National Central Investigation Division. Since there were recordings of the accident and countless of human witnesses, physical evidence, and Zhong Xiu Hua's psyche evaluation, the Division had unraveled the truth of the case and had discovered his life of crime.

The case was revealed and brought to light. As such, Zhang Yang was called all the way back from China. The C.I.D wanted his cooperation to solve the case, and wanted him to return to the mainland to present himself in court. However, Zhang Yang was not stupid. With a solid answer, Zhang Yang rejected the call and remained overseas. To go back to China would be to enter the den of tigers. If he were to return, not even the House of Sun could protect Zhang Yang from a mother who has lost her only son. Take away a mother's son, and she has nothing to lose.

However, Zhang Yang did not choose to stay long in Luxembourg even though Dusk Phoenix had tried all sort of methods (including her favorite BDSM stuff), to make Zhang Yang stay. Zhang Yang himself was rather creeped out of her and had made arrangements to move to United Arab Emirates to stay in Dubai. The main reason of him choosing to go to Dubai was not because he liked it. The real reason was because he could legally register all of his women as his legal wives.

"Could you buy us a suite in Burg Khalifa?" asked Wei Yan Er.

"Erhm…I'm not sure if that is possible."

"Meh…"

…

Several years later…

"Daddy! Daddy! Aunt Yan Er is bullying me!" A young boy at the age of four came running to Zhang Yang and buried his face into his embrace.

Zhang Yang lifted the boy to his face level and comforted him. No sooner than that, Wei Yan Er reached Zhang Yang, panting and wheezing in pain. "You sly little brat! I'll have your butt smacked later when Zhang Yang is not at home!"

Zhang Yang sighed. "Yan Er, you're not getting younger, you know? It's been years since you last dated someone. It's really time for you to find yourself a guy and get the hell out of my HOUSE! You're seriously making too so much noise in my already cramped up house!"

"Nishishishi. Aunt Yan Er is a flatty chesty. No man would want to marry that flatboard!" said the little boy after he was sure that he was safe in his father's hands.

That little playful boy was the son of Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue.

After several years of pushing peter into the playpen, Zhang Yang finally managed to get both Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu a child of their own. Although Zhang Yang wanted to have more children to make a football team, both delicate flowers had enough with just one son. Luckily for him, Yu Li and Cheng Xue Yao were fine with having one more kid. Hence, with Zhang Jing Jing as their leader and manager, Zhang Yang could really assemble a team of football players!

"Little brat!" cried Wei Yan Er as she pulled the little boy's ear.

"Perhaps I shall teach you a lesson about respecting women!"

Even though she was no longer the little 18-year-old girl, she was still behaving like an 8-year-old girl. What's even sadder for her was the fact that her chest has remained the same since Zhang Yang first met her! It got to such a point that when Wei Yan Er went to the nearest mall to buy liquor, she would be detained several times until the police even started recognizing her and befriended the poor gir--woman.

"Yan Er, you do realize that you're threatening my son in front of me?"

"So?! He deserves it!" cried Wei Yan Er.

"Nishishishi!" The little boy made faces at her and ran away as soon as Zhang Yang put him down.

"GET BACK HERE! I'LL SKIN YOU ALIVE!"

"Nyehehehe! Aunt Yan Er is a board! Aunt Yan Er is a board!" cried another little boy from the door.

"ARGHH! Is that how you want to play? You want the entire world to know that I am a flat chested girl!? Fine! I don't care! I'm not buying you chocolates anymore!"

Out of the blue, two more little rascals came out from a room and joined the two boys. Together, they started to chant. "Aunt~ Yan Er~ is a flat chest~~"

"Zhang Yang…save me…I don't wanna be a flat chest girl. Please let me go for a breast enlargement surgery."

A young girl who was clearly elder than the rest of the four rascals came out of her room and bellowed with a commanding voice. "That's no way to treat your elders."

She had a clear and beautiful face. Even at her age, anyone would know that this little beauty will grow up to be a world-class hottie! She was Zhang Jing Jing, the eldest daughter amongst all of Zhang Yang's kids. Although she was extremely beautiful, she bore little resemblance to both Zhang Yang and Luo Yu Rou. Her features were the perfect mix of both and even more.

Once Jing Jing voiced out, all the screaming little rascals immediately came to her and lowered their heads to apologise. Instead of being angry, she lowered herself and patted everyone's head and lectured them kindly.

Zhang Yang smiled satisfyingly and nodded. The little girl was growing up well.

"Ahh! Jing Jing will always be the best! Auntie will always love you!"

"Jing Jing? Could you be a dear and bring the kids to the TV room? I'm actually reading the news right now."

"Yes, papa."

"Guys, you heard what papa said. Let's go."

"But I still wanna play."

"Yeah!"

At then, Han Ying Xue, Cheng Xue Yao, Luo Yu Rou, Sun Xin Yu, and Yu Li returned home with bags of groceries.

"Honey, I found a poster when I was shopping," said Han Ying Xue as she handed a poster that had a graphic of what seemed to be game.

"…God's Miracle will end soon but there will be a new world that transcends even the God's creation. Players, it is time for you to start a new chapter! It is time for "Glory"!"

Zhang Yang read the poster and the message and sighed. "I see that 'God's Miracle's is finally shutting down."

Wei Yan Er took the poster when Zhang Yang was done with it and said curiously. "What's this 'Glory' thing? Looks interesting. Shall we play it?"

"Games? I'd rather you find a husband before any games!" said Han Ying Xue worriedly.

"No problem! If no one wants this sweet piece of *ss. Noobie tank can take responsibility!" said Wei Yan Er nonchalantly.

Zhang Yang raised an eyebrow and gestured no. "Sorry. I have no interest in being a lolicon."

"LO-LI-CON!? How--GRRRR!" Wei Yan Er snarled at Zhang Yang and pounced at the man with her fingers clawing at his face.

Sun Xin Yu ignored the petty little fight and read the poster. "Hmm…I think it's a good idea. It's been rather dull for the past few years, anyway. The advertisement even mentioned something about a new system that exceeds 'God's Miracle'. It sounds fun."

Zhang Yang and all the main party members had reached Level 300 four years ago and had conquered all Celestial tier bosses in the game. They had even managed to retain their championship title until the sixth World Battle Team League. At that point, they had made themselves known the entire world as the strongest, undefeatable battle team that had ever existed. After that, they started to step out of the limelight.

After traveling the entire world a few rounds, the happy family then chose to buy out an entire floor in Burg Khalifa and live there permanently. During that time, 'God's Miracle' had entered a new game event which was the Age of Heroes, and the War of Nations. However, these were all but empty, repetitive content that got most of the players bored. There was not even a patch to increase the Level cap limit after Level 300. Hence, after witnessing the downgrade of in-game content, many players had chosen to leave the game while new fresh players found no interesting content to play for. Hence, coming out with a new game was the most sensible action that Dream Tech could come up with.

"Honey, stop messing around with Yan Er. Bring out the computer and search for the game's information. The game will officially launch the day after tomorrow. It's time for us to rise anew!"

"Good one sister! This time, I want to be a Guardian! We can't let noobie tank hog all the fame to himself now, can we?" cried Wei Yan Er happily.

"…After so many years…Could you please stop calling me noobie tank. I am your brother-in-law! Call me big brother, or I won't buy you the game! You can start earning your own pocket money from now on!"

"Aiyayaya! Big brother? More like a big bully! I'll never call you that!"

"Well then, perhaps there's an advertisement here that is offering a job. I think you can work at a maid café. Some guys dig lolis, after all."

"WAAAA. Please don't. I'm so sorry. Big…brother…"

"There. It wasn't so hard now, was it?"

Han Ying Xue smiled at Sun Xin Yu. After both of them had given birth, the Ice Queen and the Snow Demon had been closer than ever.

Wei Yan Er picked up the game poster and shouted. "Ah. I think we should also call Uncle Fatty, Uncle Hundred, Dreamy, and the pervy Star!"

"Call them now. Tell them. We're coming home," said Zhang Yang as he got up from his seat.

"Home?"

"Zhou Su City. I don't know about you guys, but I miss the regular old food stalls by the roadside. I'm sick of these fancy steaks and caviar here in Dubai."

"Hahahaha."

"Let's go home then."

"Jing Jing! Pack your stuff! It's time for us to return to the motherland!"

THE END

Author's Note:

Hey guys. This is my first time writing a gaming genre novel. I had realized that I've made a few conflicting settings in the story like not being able to dodge skills and certain attacks. The problem was, I have no idea how to balance the skills. It pains me so that the pros of the game could not be stronger opponents for Zhang Yang.

Furthermore, I also found out that I've made many skills in the story with nonsensical cooldown durations. (I've been referring to WoW system a little too much). As result, the characters in the story became unbalanced over time. Even though I made skills with 1-minute cooldowns in the latter part of the story, but there were just too many skills with 10 seconds or even 6 seconds cooldowns in the story. Hence, my apologies.

All in all, I want to thank all my fans and supporters. Without you guys, this book could have never met its conclusion.

The next book that I'll write should be in the Xuan Huan genre. Although I have not much of experience, to begin with, I should do fine. If I don't, I'll just continue writing gaming novels. At least, I have some experience now, so I can keep the mistakes at bay.

Cheerios~

Translator Note:

It's been a heck of a run, guys. Here's to you guys and Qidian for giving us the chance to translate this awesome novel!

Editor Note:

Hey guys. The translators have said most of what the team has to say, but I too would like to apologize for the numerous occasions where errors and mistakes go past my negligent gaze. I took this job as means of getting away from the mundane, horrifying 9-5 life. I have never regretted that for even one moment, thanks to the constant support from you guys, and the fun of working with the team. See, my main goal in life is to write my own story, eventually. In fact, before I got here, I did start something off at tonicquill. but it didn't pick up, and is now back on the drawing board, for now. You could still read what I left there and tell me what you think! So, it has indeed been a heck of a run, thank you for sticking to the end!
