MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Not at all hindered by the darkness, the trio retraced their route and quickly arrived at Dicelan.

Looking down at Dicelan from a high point, they found the town, usually sparsely populated with monsters during the day, was now teeming with double the number of banshees at night.

“Are you sure it’s safe to rush in at night?” Monsters become more aggressive at night, according to the God’s mechanisms.

Under similar circumstances, most of the monsters at night would be blessed with excessively increased attack power, and many would become even more aggressive.

“This is a special mission that can only be summoned at night, otherwise Colin wouldn’t have instructed us to come at this time,” Claw Scar-free voiced his doubts, unsure of what to expect.

“No worries, many players have taken on quests by now. The night monsters may be fierce, but for the sake of the leadership board levels, there are still plenty of players upgrading at night.” Li Yao pondered over the message conveyed by the Fire Hawk, “At least a thousand players from the Light Faction were leveling up here during the day, but based on what Fire Hawk observed, there are still about two to three hundred players around now.

“Can’t believe there are so many crazy people.” Pet Little Elf sighed, “No wonder why I got kicked off the leaderboard quickly, these guys are really pushing it”.

“Well, if you aren’t serious enough, there will always be others who are. Level, equipment, honor, all are what players strive for.” Li Yao summoning his hydra, then added, “Let’s get started, we need to find the location of the Lord’s mansion first.”

The hydra began its assault. Due to the night time, the banshees had a far sight, attracting five to six banshees immediately. Since the banshees weren’t organized, they didn’t call on each other for help.

However, these undead didn’t have much consciousness, they could only roam around in their past homeland instinctively. Such a pitiful scene. No wonder Colin has been holding off from handling the situation in Dicelan for thousands of years.

The three of them plunged deeper into the city by fighting monsters, discussing the quest along the way.

Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Pet Little Elf asked, “Boss, aren’t we supposed to look for a domed building? Why are we finding the Lord’s mansion?”

Li Yao paused before answering, “You guys need to realize that the Upper Elves were the ruling class before the heavens collapsed. But Colin mentioned that the people of Dicelan were his people, which means he was a great lord of Dicelan.”

After some thought, Pet Little Elf said, “That makes sense, but he’s clearly an Ancient Elf. Didn’t you mention that only the Upper Elves could be nobles?”

Nodding, Li Yao replied, “That is true under normal circumstances. But don’t forget, Colin’s wife was an Upper Elf. So I would guess that Lord Colin Fire Feather was the son-in-law of a great lord. He married the great lord’s daughter and thus became a lord himself. Such a situation is pretty rare. And at that time, only the Upper Elves with a noble background would construct buildings of the temple style with domed roofs.”

Both agreed with Li Yao’s explanation. As Claw Scar-free healed the hydra, he said, “No wonder you’re getting ahead. This analytical skill alone has won my respect.”

“Yeah, you’re so awesome, idol. You can even negotiate with NPCs to change the tasks. If only I were skilled like you.” Pet Little Elf, who always called Li Yao a boss, didn’t have much understanding of skills, nor was she obsessed with them. Instead, she was very fond of and attached to quests. Seeing Li Yao analyze so much information from such scant clues, she was immediately dazzled, instantly recognizing Li Yao as her idol.

“It’s nothing special,” Li Yao shrugged off the compliments, “I just understand a bit about the history of the Ancient Elves, which allows me to make some bold guesses. But perhaps my guesses could be wrong, too.” Li Yao laughed, recalling how he used to spend most of his gaming nights delving into books in libraries and sorting through online forum posts. His understanding of the ancient gods was quite profound.

However, the siblings disagreed, believing that Li Yao was really great, especially Pet Little Elf. During their search for the Lord’s mansion, she kept bombarding him with questions regarding how to undertake tasks and analyze them.

And Li Yao, hoping to win over this quest fanatic, was not stingy with his advice, freely providing his analysis, which left Pet Little Elf considering him god-like. She even clamored about becoming his disciple, much to Li Yao’s amusement.

Although Dicelan was small compared to some other large cities, it was by no means tiny. It wasn’t until midnight that the trio finally found a ruinous building.

If they’d followed Colin Fire Feather’s clues and attempted to find the domed buildings, it would have been virtually impossible. However, Li Yao had identified the location of the temple, thus inferring the location of the Lord’s mansion. They managed to discover the dilapidated Lord’s mansion, which was no more than a few broken stone pillars and ruined walls holding the structure intact.

Pet Little Elf performed a spell as instructed by Colin on the necklace she held, and a faintly sorrowful melody filled the night sky.

After a while, a beautiful banshee appeared. She didn’t wander around, but floated quietly mid-air, gazing at the sky, just like Colin Fire Feather.

Li Yao was busy checking the Banshee’s data and quickly sent out her attributes.

Crazed Banshee, Tina

Rank: Level 17 Boss (Night: Berserk State)

Health: 250,000

Armor: 528

Resistance: Primary Arcane Resistance, Primary Dark Resistance.

Skills: Death Siphon, Soul Scream, Dark Control, Soul Explosion, Death explosion, Arcane Barrage

“The level difference is just too big, it’s up to you to carry us, brother.”

Claw Scar-free, they had once tried to kill a boss of the same level but were horrendously defeated. Seeing a level 17 boss instilled horror in them, only a few squads apart from Li Yao’s were capable of defeating bosses of the same level.

“This boss has insane attributes, and its skills are very powerful. But with the hydra, things will become simpler. You two just stay behind the hydra, pay attention to your positions, making sure the banshee can’t see you, leave the rest to me.” Without any trial, Li Yao was unsure which tactic to use, and could only resort to some general strategies for the initial attempt.

Suddenly, as the melody ended, the look of sadness and lucidity in the banshee’s eyes disappeared, replaced by madness and brutality. She spotted the charging hydra: “Damn water reptile, how dare you invade my territory.”

The moment the hydra Snowflakes attacked, the battle ensued.

Li Yao summoned his repair robot, immediately giving everyone buffs, either the Wind Fury or the Holy Shield, while the hydra was given Taunt.

Deploying his three arrow towers, Li Yao immediately began outputting damage at an incredible rate.

-789-652-625-624-615-315-325-498-520-488…

As the damage output increased rapidly, a series of damage numbers flashed across the corner of the screen.

ps: Slightly busy recently, I haven’t been asking for much, but you guys can’t just abandon me, right?

I’m earnestly begging for monthly tickets, subscriptions, tips, all sorts of promotions, the period of lull and build-up chapters has passed, high levels of excitement will be non-stop…
