Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Ruthless Battle
 

If the beginning was a test of team coordination and tactics, now it was time to showcase individual skills.

The High Priest had become incredibly furious. His charging range didn’t only include his own trajectory but also the lingering spirits following him.

What’s worse, these haunting spirits were no weaklings in attack.

Only someone like Mu Zi could employ the Counter Shield to fend off a limited number of the creature’s attacks.

As for the less robust, well, a single piercing attack could instantly kill them.

“All of you are free to take action now. Especially the melee fighters – now’s not quite the time for your best output. Evade to the periphery. Find ways to stay alive. There will be opportunities to strike later. Don’t take the beast head-on,” Li Yao continuously reminded the team while maneuvering

Dammit, did the designer of this level hold a grudge against them, or what? The first boss was not melee-friendly and same goes for the second one. It was reaching a point of ultimate frustration for the melee fighters. But for now, there really wasn’t an alternative. They were left without a choice.

The boss was practically rampant now, hardly pausing in one spot for more than two seconds. And with his four legs, catching up to deliver damage was such a hard task.

Of course, the melee fighters didn’t know that ranged attackers didn’t have it any easier against this boss. Given his rapid movement, it was nearly impossible to hit him with 100% accuracy in free mode.

Moreover, considering the frenzied state of the boss, they couldn’t risk using longer casting spells or skills. That would be suicidal.

Instant casting spells and skills, compounded with the issue of hit accuracy, meant that the damage inflicted by the Starfire Team at this stage was extremely limited.

Still, two individuals’ output remained largely unaffected during this time.

The first was Li Yao. His archery skills were second to none. The boss’s movements hardly deterred him.

The other was Tong Tong. Her totems, while not manually directed, targeted the bosses. The boss, in its frenzied state, had no time to purposefully evade them.

What concerned the members, though, was even though the boss had exited the invulnerable state, due to the trailing spirits, he was still immune to most of the damage.

The damage they were currently dealing to the boss was not even a tenth of what they usually inflict.

The five percent health of the boss was practically similar to the boss’s half-health state. Killing him was not as easy as it seemed. Moreover, given the current circumstances where they could not conduct full-powered attacks, the situation was very grim.

The victory seemed attainable, but failure could still strike at any moment. With the continuous charges from the boss, a member fell every so often.

The two Druids’ combat revives were used up on the damage-dealers, but it was like trying to put out a forest fire with a cup of water.

“Damn it, I knew it, I knew it wasn’t going to be easy with this boss.” Angel scrambled to avoid the boss’s charge and quickly healed at the edge of the platform.

“It’s all because of your jinx,” Tong Tong retorted, panting heavily. Being a Shaman with no movement skills and with her small stature, she was fast but also extremely tired.

“Alright, melee fighters, no more talking. Ranged attackers, focus on dodging. Don’t get greedy and get hit by an attack. Remember, only the living can deal damage. The boss is now at less than 4% health, and we still have sixteen alive in our team. We can certainly win this round,” Li Jie announced loudly.

The team members were both excited and nervous. They were on the verge of beating the second boss.

But if they failed to kill the boss, they would need to face the boss in his prime state once again.

However, this boss was truly formidable. Each stage transition brought them perilously close to a wipe. They didn’t want to repeat this nerve-wracking experience.

Therefore, the team members displayed their best techniques, continuously striking the boss while maneuvering.

But the half-human-half-horse beast was in an overwhelming fury. Not only did his charge covers himself but also the lingering spirits behind.

Such a charge encompassed a vast space. If the boss set its sight on one target, that target would hardly escape completely.

Those without movement skills relying solely on their legs would certainly not outrun the boss.

As time went by, more and more ranged attackers met their demise.

The situation facing the Starfire Team grew increasingly precarious. As the number of team members lessened, the frequency of each member being attacked increased.

Even if they had movement skills, if they were continually charged, their cooldown time would not keep up.

Following Reality Is a Disease and the newbie Mu Zi, several healers, and finally the cute Tong Tong and Li Jie fell as well.

Now except Li Yao as the only ranged attack, all other healers died, and there were only a few melee fighters hiding far away.

“You guys equip your crossbows and join the attack,” Li Yao muttered, feeling an increasing pressure.

The number of people has reduced too much. The boss has been targeting him relentlesslessly, making it extremely difficult for him to dodge. It has nothing to do with skill anymore.

Even with the best skills, under such circumstance, evasion seems almost impossible.

Li Yao’s pet, the Spider Tank got killed ly when Yao tried to block a charge from the boss.

The Firehawk, after one diving attack, was seriously injured from a whack by the High Priest’s Magic Staff. Now, it didn’t dare to fly too low.

The Death God 4000 was dismantled after a hit and lay on the ground.

The melee’s joining only made it a bit better for Li Yao for a little while. As a few melee fighters fell, the entire platform was left with only one Li Yao and a boss.

Now, less than 3% of the boss’s health remained. But the problem was that Li Yao was the only target left for the boss. Even for Li Yao, evading the boss’s attacks was becoming incredibly difficult.

Trying to deplete the boss’s remaining health under such circumstances seemed impossible.

The Starfire Team’s channel went silent. They were not willing to accept this. Fighting a terrifying boss and getting it to this point in such a short time was an incredible feat in itself.

But they were so close to vanquishing the boss, and now they faced a team wipe. None of them took it well.

Li Yao managed to do extraordinarily well, yet even he, whom they knew to be outrageous, was not invincible under these circumstances.

As they watched Li Yao still barely dodging the boss’s continuous barrage of attacks, and even the Firehawk falling in attempt to block an attack, the team members knew that restarting was inevitable.

“Chairman, give up. You’ve done your best,” newbie Mu Zi suggested.

“Yeah boss, you were already very powerful. Let’s start over. We will surely make it next time. Hurry up and leave the platform now,” Shadow Dance added.

“I just thought of a method that might work, I’ll try. If it doesn’t, then we restart,” Li Yao calmly said.
