Chapter 569 - The Final Boss’s Three Iron Shovels

Unrivaled Super Hottie very naturally replaced Happy Sheep as the team’s shotcaller. His tone of voice changed too. He just started and he was already scolding the team captain, Happy Sheep.

Quite a few were angry. Even though it was true that they had never fought this boss before, Unrivaled Super Hottie had only skimmed through the dungeon guide ten minutes before starting. How could he be so strict? Reciting words from the guide? Anyone could do that!

Some of the players wanted to say a few mocking words, when they suddenly saw Tomb in the Sky’s final boss, Tomb Guardian Imset, suddenly lift his hands up and slammed his iron shovel, which looked more appropriate for a grave robber, down into the ground.

Numerous cracks suddenly formed on the ground. Rays of light shone through the cracks like magic waves. A fierce storm flew out from the cracks, making everyone, who was about to say something, shut their mouths.

Happy Sheep had reacted too slowly to Unrivaled Super Hottie’s scolding. The magic storm coming out from the cracks in the earth sliced Happy Sheep into bits. Not even a corpse remained.

“Everyone, start moving!!” Everyone was still in shock, when another order came. Unrivaled Super Hottie didn’t sway from seeing the team captain dying. When the Tomb Guardian slammed his shovel down, he sidestepped to the right and dodged the flying magic waves.

Since the target had moved, the boss naturally moved along with his target. They didn’t dare be slow and sprinted to behind the boss. They could clearly see that the magic waves covered a 90 degree arc in front of the boss. Unrivaled Super Hottie had given a reminder, but Happy Sheep had been too slow, so of course he got clapped to death.

However, the team captain’s sacrifice hadn’t been for nothing. Everyone now realized the terror of this attack. This kind of feeling couldn’t be felt from watching a video or reading a guide. At best, the guide would mention the attack being an AoE attack and how to dodge it. The reader wouldn’t have any other feelings towards it though. Only those at the scene could discover how fast the attack started and how difficult it was to dodge. Happy Sheep had been warned by Unrivaled Super Hottie to hurry up and get out of the way, but he still wasn’t able to escape the attack’s range and instantly died.

“Melee cla.s.ses, don’t crowd together! Move back and forth, alternating between using mid-ranged and close-ranged skills. Maintain a distance away from the boss. After using a close-ranged skill, immediately retreat.” Unrivaled Super Hottie continued to direct the team.

For a hundred player dungeon, in order to let many spread out and attack, the boss usually had a big body, so several melee characters could surround the boss at the same time. It didn’t make sense for players to line up and take turns to deal damage. However, this Tomb Guardian Imset had such powerful skills. A quarter of the area instantly became a dead zone, making it so there wasn’t s.p.a.ce for the melee cla.s.ses. Imset was quite big, but he wasn’t a huge dragon, which dozens of players could surround. At this moment, everyone once again realized the terror of this attack. Because it create a 90 degree dead zone in front, they had to head to behind the boss. Everyone rushed to behind the boss. The long-ranged cla.s.ses didn’t have a problem, but the melee cla.s.ses had trouble moving.

Even though Ye Xiu had gave them a tip, his tip made everyone somewhat confused. The long ranged cla.s.ses like the Gunners and Mages were like fish in water, but the melee cla.s.ses were a mess.

Just as the long-ranged characters were feeling good about themselves, Unrivaled Super Hottie warned: “The long-ranged characters are too far away. If you’re that far away, there won’t be enough time to dodge.”

Ye Xiu had told them all of these pointers before the boss fight. Listening to the theory behind it and actually putting into practice were two very different things though. When the AoE attack came out, everyone had been too busy and had forgotten about his pointers. Hearing the command saying they were too far, the long-ranged characters moved forward.

At this moment, the boss released another attack. The iron shovel in his hands pierced through the ground and began to spin.

“Run counterclockwise! Hurry hurry hurry!!” Unrivaled Super Hottie hastily shouted. Everyone watched as that iron shovel dug a ditch in the ground. Inside the ditch, rays of light seeped out like before, but this time, it sounded louder.

Everyone was scared witless and immediately ran counterclockwise like what Unrivaled Super Hottie said. However, some people thought they were smart and instead of running counterclockwise, they ran backwards. When the iron shovel swung out, the magic waves from the ditch instantly enveloped the players who had run backwards. It didn’t matter what cla.s.s the player was. The player disappeared.

In just a short moment, Happy Sheep’s team lost another six players. The remaining didn’t dare be slow. Only now did they understand that every single one of Unrivaled Super Hottie’s commands weren’t without reason. If he wanted you to run around in a circle, then you around in a circle. Those who didn’t listen would be like the team captain and the other six who had died!

Happy Sheep had simply reacted a bit too slowly, but the other six didn’t listen because they thought they were smart.

The iron shovel streaked across the ground in a semicircle. At this moment, the long-ranged cla.s.ses knew why they couldn’t be too far away. If they stood too far away, the radius of the semicircle would be larger and the amount of time needed to get out of range was longer. They might not be able to move fast enough before the boss started the attack. To dodge this attack, they needed to run in front of the boss, the opposite side from their current position. If they moved too slow, the attack would touch them and the death light would envelop them.

Both attacks had killed players in the team. Happy Sheep’s team became more and more nervous with each attack. Even though they knew the final boss couldn’t be beat just by standing there, the difficulty of the final boss exceeded their expectations. For example, if Unrivaled Super Hottie hadn’t warned them ahead of time to run in a counterclockwise direction, no one would have noticed the boss’s attack and the team might have wiped out right then and there…
