VRMMO: The Unrivaled

Chapter 827



"How much HP does the boss have left?"

Candlelight Shadow was standing at the front and dueling Purple Marquis and Li Chengfeng at the same time. After a couple of exchanges, he had no choice but to withdraw and avoid a head-on clash. Candle Dragon’s numbers had shrunk drastically because they had chosen to step out of the line earlier and surround the Yin Yang Tiger when Northern Alliance was still fighting it. Despite being the strongest guild in China, it was incredibly difficult for them to fend off all the remaining guilds by themselves!

These days, very few guilds were truly loyal to another stronger guild. For example, Hall of Immortality, Rose of the Holy Domain, Silver Soul, Wings of Awakening and more might follow Candle Dragon now, but they all wanted to be the king one day. Moreover, there were many more guilds who challenged Candle Dragon directly for the throne like the forces under Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Purple Lily, Snowy Cathaya and Warsky Alliance.

……

The Cyan Netherworld Sword sang quietly as thousands of icy sword auras covered the sky. Thousand Ice Slash landed atop dozens of Viper Dragoon Cavalry, freezing them and allowing Chaos Moon and Xu Yang to kill them with their signature skills, Rock Crush and Mountain Stagger Slash.

Candlelight Shadow was panicking a little at this point. Not even a godlike player could maintain a perfectly cool head at this stage. The boss's HP had dropped to 9%, and Candle Dragon no longer had the strength to beat it. Moreover, the Yin Yang Tiger had incredible HP regen and even lifesteal on some of its attacks. Every time it slapped a player to death, it would restore some health and make things harder for its would-be killers.

The battle continued. The Viper Dragoons used their flesh and blood to stop our advance as the boss's HP continued to drop little by little. Finally, when the Yin Yang Tiger had 4% HP left, Lin Chengfeng lost his cool and asked me, "Boss, it’s time! Who do we kill first, Candlelight Shadow or the Yin Yang Tiger?"

I replied, "The boss first. Players with a Tiger Soul Essence can’t log out of the game and return to the city, so don’t worry about him running!"

"Got it!"

"We attack together and clear out all hostile forces surrounding the forces. Don’t hold back on my account!"

"Yessir!"

Li Chengfeng laughed heartily as all the high-level players of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls launched an all-out assault at once. Candle Dragon’s already crumbling defense line was torn to shreds almost immediately.

"Roar roar…"

The Phantom Wolf King leaped into the crowd, raised its head and unleashed Purgatory Storm. It engulfed a dozen of Candle Dragon archers and mages.

High Fighting Spirits spurred his mount into a charge and gave the boss a mighty Xiezhi Howl. The powerful AoE skill successfully snatched the boss's aggro from Candle Dragon.

"Roar!"

The Yin Yang Tiger roared angrily and opened its Yin Eye. Darkness instantly shrouded everyone’s vision and forced us to attack based on memory of our surroundings before the skill. While someone might be tempted to stop moving and wait for the skill to pass, that was really the worst thing to do in this situation. Unlike the rest of us, the boss wasn’t affected by its own skill and it fully intended to exploit our temporary weakness. Plus, practically no one who stood on this battlefield was a weakling or a coward. Regardless of our differences, right now we all shared one clear goal: we came for the boss, and anyone who stood in our way must die!

……

"Kill while the darkness is still active!" He Yi’s simple but clear-cut order entered my ears.

Thud thud thud thud thud! I heard five meaty impacts in a row, and I knew that it had to be her Purgatory of Ice and Magma. The skill caused havoc both to the boss and the enemies. We weren’t worried that we would hit our own allies with our skills because we had all set our attack mode to “no friendly fire”.

"Roar roar!"

A draconic roar shook the clouds as Li Chengfeng activated his Great Earth Transformation. Leaping into the air while draconic energy cycled around his body, he tossed his weapon forward and used Dragonblade Revolution. Screams of pain immediately filled the air!

Behind him, a troop of Dragonlight Cavalry was charging forward and killing anything and everything they ran into. They were past caring at this point.

However, a blazing flame suddenly engulfed them, and the Dragonlight Cavalrymen with half health or less instantly dropped to the ground and died. Fuck, it was Candlelight Shadow using his Divine General Skill while protected by the shroud of darkness!

"Lu Chen!" He Yi immediately looked at me.

I couldn’t see her face, but I understood her meaning right away. I rushed forward and launched 9 golden seals into the sky in a row. The next moment, they came back down a lot larger and struck nearly the entire boss area like a thunderstorm. For a time screams filled the air, and I gained 3 Divine Energy Points from that. This meant that I had killed at least 300 enemy players with that attack. Awesome!

"Well done!" Li Chengfeng laughed.

Xu Yang, Gui Guzi and Chaos Moon fought side by side, throwing out Mountain Stagger Slashes, Aurora Thrusts and Rock Crushes every few steps or so. With the three of them carving open a path for Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, I doubted there were many people left who could threaten our battle line.

……

The flash of skills was the only source of illumination under the curtain of darkness. It was practically a night battle at this point.

The darkness finally dissipated a long while later. When light was restored to the ninth floor of Nine Tigers Soul Suppressing Tower and we looked at the boss, we were stunned to see that it only had 2% HP left. Motherfucker, we were so busy tossing our AoE skills and murdering as many of our enemies as possible that we didn’t even realize the Yin Yang Tiger could die at any moment!

Xu Yang and Gui Guzi immediately shouted with a laugh, "The boss is about to die! Go go go!"

Almost a hundred Dragonlight Cavalrymen rushed toward the boss at once. However, the Yin Yang Tiger suddenly let out a furious roar and opened its Yang Eye!

Swhoosh!

A golden beam passed right through Gui Guzi, Xu Yang and several unfortunate Dragonlight Cavalrymen’s chest. A shocking damage number floated above Gui Guzi’s head—289736!

The skill couldn’t one-shot, but it could unconditionally drop him to 1 HP!

The good news was that Gui Guzi was protected by the Undying Shield. A green number followed next as a huge chunk of that damage was converted into health—

+144968!

Phew, thank goodness...

……

Our troubles weren’t over, however. A battle cry broke out from the left side of the battlefield, and it was Warsky roaring and charging with a group of Warsky Alliance players. The ground was littered with the bodies of Candle Dragon’s players, so they were the only guild left that could possibly pose a threat to us. Most of Candle Dragon’s allies like Hall of Immortality were currently stuck at the perimeter, so they wouldn’t be a threat for now.

Whoosh whoosh!

The bloody banner above Warsky’s head swayed once, and the Dragonlight Cavalrymen including Chaos Moon were stunned immediately.

"Kill them!" Lin Bing Dou Zhe laughed loudly as he charged with the Frostscale Cavalry.

Murong Mingyue waved her scepter repeatedly and threw all her healing spells at Chaos Moon. At the same time, she shouted, "Protect our people!"

Beiming Xue leaped into the inner area of the plaza and fired two successive shots at Warsky, stunning him on the spot. She then followed up with a Broken Feather Arrow that Moonlight Stone immediately capitalized on with Galaxy Storm and Dragon’s Roar, deleting most of his health. Together, they were able to force the guild leader into a temporary retreat.

"Kill the boss now!"

I shouted as I restored my HP and MP to full. Then, I plunged the Cyan Netherworld Sword into the ground—purple dragon soul crawling over the blade until it reached the breaking point—pulled it out and launched a devastating Purple Dragon Howl at the boss!

"Roar roar roar!"

While the purple energy was ravaging the boss and the players around it, I shouted, "Eve, use your Purgatory of Ice and Magma now! This is our best shot to take out the boss!"

"Mn!"

He Yi spurred her mount and rushed toward the boss.

After unleashing Purple Dragon Howl, I temporarily entered a weakened state.

……

Thud!

Unfortunately, I took an arrow at this exact moment and lost an incredible amount of HP—102773!

Fuck! My Defense was a big fat zero while I was weakened. I could definitely die the way I was now!

The shot had been fired by none other than October Rain herself. Staring at me with determination, she ordered, "Kill Lu Chen and get him to drop his Tiger Soul Essences with Spiraling Arrow Blades. Priests, heal Warsky. This time, it is Warsky Alliance’s turn to shine!"

Countless Spiraling Arrow Blades flew toward me. There were enough of them to engulf me whole.

Thwack thwack thwack!

However, Lin Yixin and her Frostscythe Warhorse showed up in the nick of time to block in front of me. After she knocked away all the arrows headed my way, she said, "Never say something like that before the fact, October Rain. This quest won’t be yours to take. Purple Dragon Cavalry, take out October Rain!"

Purple Marquis and the others heeded her command, and October Rain was forced to retreat. The Frostscale Cavalry had suffered heavy damage up until this point, so she couldn’t have withstood the assault even if she had chosen to stay.

……

Thankfully, my weakened state only lasted three seconds. When I looked at the boss's HP and saw how low it was, I hurriedly said, "Forget about me, Yiyi! Go grab the boss's equipment and the Tiger Soul Essence!"

"Got it!"

Lin Yixin left and went for the boss. Practically everyone was doing the same thing!

He Yi managed to hit the boss with her Purgatory of Ice and Magma, but the boss still had a sliver of health left. It almost felt like it would remain this way forever.

Angry, Beiming Xue moved closer to the boss, drew her Dragonbone String and let loose a Evil Spirit Volley almost point-blank into the Yin Yang Tiger’s mouth. To everyone’s surprise, it turned out to be its weak point. By the end of the skill, the Yin Yang Tiger let out its death throes and finally collapsed to the ground!

Swhoosh!

I leveled up once. The amount of experience I got was insane even if I wasn’t the one who scored the last hit.

……

"The loot!"

The boss died, and absolutely everyone rushed forward to grab as much of the loot as possible. Even Little Piglet and Lin Bing Dou Zhe appeared out of nowhere to join in on the treasure hunt.

At the same time, a system announcement rang throughout the continent of Heavenblessed—
