Chapter 189: The Clan Leader of Twelve Zodiacs—Shaka
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The timing chosen by the Mutant Darkshadow Archdemon to interfere was the worst.
Originally, both Violet Orchid and Violetmoon Devilite could still assist the other six people to overpower the four Elementalists from the Demon Faction. However since they were now deeply threatened by the Boss monster behind them, they were forced to shift their position clumsily. Their sudden movement inevitably disrupted the perfect coordination between the players and exposed some openings.
Besides that, the Elementalists of Twelve Zodiacs Clan had now changed their minds. They could not wait long enough for the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon to trample over them and kill everyone altogether. Every single one of them desperately cast spells to disrupt their opponents’ pace as they attempted to drag everybody down with them.
That was the only way that their clan members could return here later and sweep the battlefield clean!
The change of mind of the enemies greatly dampened Qin Ruo and his comrades’ mood. Slayer’s Heart, who had helped Qin Ruo exterminate his three Elementalists opponents at lightning speed was even more dispirited! In their team, he was the only one that could take on the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon...
The dilemma Slayer’s Heart faced now was that if he kept focusing on killing the Twelve Zodiacs members, then Violet Orchid and others would certainly be obliterated by the monster!
However if he gave up on the Elementalists and turned to the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon instead, the outcome would be equally unfavorable...
It would also be very risky for Slayer’s Heart to fight the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon alone while Violet Orchid and others were entangled with the Elementalists. Moreover, Qin Ruo might also be unable to take on the other three Elementalists all by himself. If one of them managed to escape from Qin Ruo and joined forces with his comrades on the other end, it would critically threaten Violet Orchid gang’s safety!
All of a sudden, Slayer’s Heart was facing a great predicament due to the unexpected move made by the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon...
No matter what, Slayer’s Heart could only choose to believe his own ability as well as his teammates’ in such a dire situation.
Slayer’s Heart moved past the three Elementalists on Qin Ruo’s side like the wind. He braced the Tier 4 magic cast by two of them and relentlessly moved on to collide head-on with the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon!
Slayer’s Heart’s move completely revealed his true intention!
The Twelve Zodiacs members found it hard to believe that he could single-handedly block the Level 47 Elite Boss. However, Saga had previously demonstrated how to briefly stop the boss without any help. In addition to that, this man in front of them had already displayed overwhelming power that obviously surpassed their Field Commander Saga. Furthermore, he also possessed the Magic Penetration attribute ability...
So it was definitely possible that Slayer’s Heart would able to hold the Boss that was already weakened. Hence, the three Elementalists that were just dismissed by Slayer’s Heart simultaneously adjusted their aim and used the Magic Scrolls to attack him.
Two successive Tier 4 spells hit Slayer’s Heart but he was only delayed by not more than one-thousandth of a second. His whole body continued the forward momentum with his back left wide open to the three enemies from Twelve Zodiacs Clan...
Slayer’s Heart was not overconfident with his more than 2000 HP or Magic Defense which exceeded a hundred points under the influence of Berserk, but was certain deep down that Qin Ruo who was hidden in the shadows would not stand by and do nothing. Even though Qin Ruo might not be able to completely block the attack of these three players, he could at least disrupt one or two of them... He also believed the Qin Ruo would do all he can to create chances for other teammates at Violet Orchid’s side...
Qin Ruo did not fail Slayer’s Heart’s expectations of him!
He quickly reacted when the three Elementalists in front of him changed their mind and switched their target. Once they started attacking Slayer’s Heart, Qin Ruo, together with his four newly constructed Frostrampart, moved inconspicuously toward different directions...
Before the third Elementalist could use the Magic Scroll he had just pulled out, a Frostrampart barged in abruptly from his flank and obstructed him from reaching Slayer’s Heart.
The Elementalist wanted to move away at once, but the Frostrampart was moving even faster. It stuck the Elementalist and moved together with him, which blocked his field of vision to aim at Slayer’s Heart.
“F*ck!”
“Where the hell is he hiding?”
The other two Elementalists were suffering the same fate. The three invasive Frostramparts in front of each of them frustrated the three players. They furiously scanned through the nearest large tree of their surroundings where a player might hide in but found nothing.
Qin Ruo was of course not hiding behind the tree trunk. He actually stationed himself among the three of them all this while. This allowed him to clearly grasped every single move made by the three enemies with Elemental Perception, while ensuring that the Frostramparts always clung on them to block their way... At the same time, he also made no delay in condensing the fifth and six Aquatramparts...
Seeing the successive appearance of more and more Aquaramparts, the three Elementalists were intensely unnerved...
“Let’s split up horizontally!”
“Right! The effective range for his manipulation is just thirty meters, let’s spread out!”
Two of them quickly found the solution, but once they narrated it out loudly, the fifth, sixth, and seventh Aquaramparts rapidly froze and blocked their intended directions!
“Damn it!”
“Destroy this Frostrampart!”
Even so, none of them were willing to take action. After all, each of them only had a limited number of Magic Scrolls. Furthermore, each Magic Scroll cost at least 400 gold coins or more... Using it on a Frostrampart is rather wasteful.
In the brief moment of their hesitation, Qin Ruo continued spare no effort. He quickly consumed a bottle of MP Potion (M) and manipulated the formation of another two Aquaramparts...
Crash!
The sound of a collision into concrete was heard not far away from them. It seemed that Slayer’s Heart was facing the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon one on one. Qin Ruo understood that he definitely could not afford to hold back now. He must try his best effort to hinder these three opponents that he could not defeat from escaping. Because if any of them broke free and created havoc on Slayer’s Heart fight mid-way, then Slayer’s Heart life would be in danger... Needless to say that the Boss’s attack was unlike a player’s, especially this Level 47 Elite Boss with more than 230 Magic Attack points! They would fumble terribly if they were not careful enough...
As Qin Ruo was trying his best, a slight turn in events happened in the battle over Violet Orchid’s side.
Thanks to Slayer’s Heart speedy rush and his successful interruption of the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon’s charge after brilliantly avoiding its spell, Violet Orchid and seven others once again re-establish their dominance over the opponents. Relying on Gold Digger Babe’s Shieldbreaker, they instant-killed one Elementalist and further strengthened their advantage!
However they had also encountered their first casualty...
Gold Digger Babe exposed herself when she deactivated her Stealth to penetrate the enemy’s barrier. She was killed by the other two Elementalists who respectively cast a Tier 4 spell on her while Earthrampart was still active.
An equal trade-off, but the situation was getting worse for the three Elementalist from Twelve Zodiacs...
Little Apple and Brother Da were well-protected by Violetmoon Devilite. They chased behind one of the opponents and attacked him persistently using the enemy’s Barrier against himself, while iLittle Arrow and Dinosaurcerer further intensified the damage by supplying ranged attacks from the back!
Not long later, three enemies were reduced to two.
Until this moment, the outcome of the seven versus two battle was certain. The two remaining Elementalists were akin to candles flickering in the wind that would be put out anytime...
Meanwhile, Qin Ruo also faced lesser and lesser problems in his fight.
Although reluctant at first, two of the three entrapped Elementalists finally used their Magic Scroll to shatter a Frostrampart. However that was one down, with six still remaining. They cursed non-stop in frustration.
“F*ck! What a timid person!”
“How cowardly! If you are truly capable, why don’t you reveal yourself and fight us fair and square?”
Qin Ruo scoffed inwardly. The two of them were already out of Tier 4 Magic Scrolls. Even though the last one still had Magic Scrolls, could do nothing about the Frostrampart. The Wind type “Death Blade” did indeed slash apart a Frostrampart before, but it was just being cut into two smaller pieces that could still be manipulated by Qin Ruo to make a decent blockade.
Seeing that he had gradually regained control over the situation, Qin Ruo rapidly gulped down another MP Potion and let out a sigh of relief...
Without needed to see it, he already could tell that Violet Orchid was now leading the charge to back Slayer’s Heart up.
Slayer’s Heart was pushed to the limit by the Mutant Darkshadow Archdemon. However he did not disappoint Qin Ruo and his other teammates. After he bumped into the monster at high speed while avoiding its homing magic, he immediately launched a series of Fusion Blitz to buy himself several seconds more. Afterward, with Violet Orchid’s help, he mercilessly hammered the devastating Mutant Darkshadow Archdemon further into the Weakened State!
A Boss with less than 2000 HP would be taken care off effortlessly in no time, so he just needed to drag on for few more seconds and everything would be fine after that.
Thinking of this, Qin Ruo could not help but glance at the handful of equipment (mostly Gold Tier) dropped generously across the jungle with further aid from his Elemental Perception. His spirits were high.
‘What great fortune!’
At Demon Faction’s border, the elites from Twelve Zodiacs were pouring out from the border passage near “Hell City”. The mass players were led by Twelve Zodiacs’ Clan Leader accompanied by three Field Commanders and up to a hundred of the Clan’s strongest members. They were traveling at maximum speed with only one location in mind—the Silentdeath Jungle.
The head of the pack, Twelve Zodiacs’ Clan Leader ” Shaka 1 “, appeared to be calm on the surface. In any case, he was thought to be the most capable Clan Leader that established prestige on the Mythical Battlefield and would soon make his clan the fifth strongest Demon Faction Clan. It’s been a long while since this powerful clan loss more than sixty Honor Points as well as a bunch of equipment. The timing could not be more inappropriate!
Now three matters concerned him deeply...
‘Firstly, would the opponent use their clan members’ level as bait and remain on site to lure their rescue team over, so that they can earn more Honor Points and equipment?
‘Secondly, Slayer’s Heart... Why go back on his own words and returned to the Mythical Battlefield?! Has he forgotten his verbal agreement with Death Jesus? ‘
The last and also the most important matter!
‘What dropped from the Mutant Darkshadow Archdemon? Were there any Pet Eggs?’
However it seemed that Twelve Zodiacs had nothing to do with that anymore. It’s unlikely that the likes of Slayer’s Heart and the mysterious Tier 4 Aquamancer could not handle a dying Boss...
