Chapter 811: Rage of the Snow Goddess (1/2)
I gave the reins a pull, and the Armored Ice Qilin Horse neighed loudly and bolted forward like lightning. As it slammed into an enemy cavalry, I threw Burning Blade Slash + Thousand Ice Slash combo into the crowd. Due to how narrow the area was, almost a hundred Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen were struck and frozen by the combo right away. Before they could heal themselves, I raised my palm to the sky and fired five golden seals into the sky in a row! The next moment, they crashed back down and flattened the cavalry troops like pancakes!
Bang bang bang...
A small half of the tower itself was shaking due to the sheer force of the Ancient Seals. I could not stack two or more seals on top of one another, but I could cover an incredible area with successive casts. In just the blink of an eye, a hundred Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen fell off their mounts, dead. There was simply no way for them to survive Burning Blade Slash + Thousand Ice Slash + Ancient Seal combo.
Heaven’s Rain cheered after killing a couple of Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen herself, ”Wah, not bad at all, vice leader! Everyone, give it your all and take out these Northern Alliance bastards!”
The Dragonlight Cavalrymen in Heaven’s Rain party were positively unstoppable because their Attack and Defense were boosted by 100% thanks to Knight General. They were utterly fearless despite facing over 200 enemies. Meanwhile, Heaven’s Rain and I acted as the point of our parties and wreaked havoc in the heart of the enemies.
The 17 Silver Soul players I had just added to my subguild also pulled their weight. Some of them assumed the role of damage dealers and fired Galaxy Storms and Spiraling Arrow Blades into the enemies. Others acted as the crowd control and drastically reduced the Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry’s combat capabilities with Arctic Rain and Freezing Arrows. Their efforts definitely helped to ease our burden.
Crack crack…
Suddenly, I saw two steely flashes and one fiery explosion hitting the Dragonlight Cavalryman at the furthest corner. The poor guy let out a muffled groan and died.
His attacker was an axe wielder called ”Ghost Warrior”. His mount was a fearsome-looking Bloodthirsty Beast, and his eyes were burning with rage. He shouted, ”Attack the Dragonlight Cavalry from both sides and kill them all! The others, ride with me to kill the enemy’s Divine General!”
Heaven’s Rain immediately looked at me. ”I’ll cover you, vice leader!”
”It’s fine!”
I said with a casual smile on my face, ”I was hoping that they would come to me!”
”Charge!”
At least a dozen Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen activated their Charge at once, and they came at me in a cascade so that the skill wouldn’t be wasted. This meant that I had to dodge as many times as there were Charges or risk getting chain-stunned until my death. Their stun rate couldn’t be ignored because the gap between my level and the Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry’s was pretty small.
Thud thud thud…
I moved my mount backward a couple of steps before changing directions abruptly. After dishing out Burning Blade Slash, I dropped an Icy Cyclone Domain and let the sprouting icicles do the killing for me.
It was at this moment I felt a cold wind behind my back. Just as I expected, Ghost Warrior’s true attack had arrived, and the skill he used was none other than Barrier Break itself!
”Die!”
He shouted as the flaming cone flew toward my direction. At the same time, a gigantic ice axe appeared out of nowhere above the battle axe and fell toward me as well. Shit, it’s an AoE attack!
Chiang!
I crossed the Cyan Netherworld Sword in front of me and moved the Armored Ice Qilin Horse two yards to the side. Unfortunately, I only had enough time to parry the Barrier Break, and the ice axe’s range was surprisingly huge. A blast of cold energy engulfed my entire person the moment the axe hit the ground. It hurts!
19887!
Swhoosh swhoosh!
Two Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen seized my temporary lapse of concentration to Charge me from behind. They actually succeded in stunning me!
Panicking a little, Heaven’s Rain shouted, ”I need a couple of Dragonlight Cavalrymen to circle back and protect the vice leader right now!”
……
Thud thud thud…
Barrier Breaks penetrated my chest again and again as 5 Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen attacked me frantically. I had lost more than half my HP in less than 2 seconds! This cannot continue!
”Get lost!”
The first thing I did upon recovering was to use War Crush. Then, I waved my hand at Ghost Warrior and shackled him with God Binding Art!
”He’s yours!”
I said to Heaven’s Rain before rushing toward a group of Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen at the distance. After landing Burning Blade Slash on 20 enemies or so, I instantly regained almost 100k HP. God damn, the 10% lifesteal of the Cyan Netherworld Sword was insane especially when the enemies were jam-packed. I was almost unkillable as long as there were enemies near me!
……
Behind me, Ghost Warrior wore an ugly expression on his face as Heaven’s Rain and two Dragonlight Cavalrymen deleted over half his HP with Barrier Breaks. At the distance, my new mages were shooting Dragon’s Roars at him as well. As powerful as a Heroic Bannerman might be, there was nothing they could do to escape the confines of God Binding Art. In the end, he died and dropped a pair of legguards.
There were still over 200 Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen clashing against our Dragonlight Cavalry when the Heroic Bannermen died, so Heaven’s Rain and I wasted no time in diving back into the fray and killing them. Dozens of kills later, a new party of players suddenly emerged from the corridor at the side. The chanting of mages filled the air, and dozens of Galaxy Storms suddenly erupted across the battlefield. Over a hundred Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen were deleted from existence just like that!
The newcomer was none other than Purple Lily, and the party leader, Luo River God of the Capital herself. Sitting at Level 169, she was the highest-leveled player in the entire China server right now. She was accompanied by the beautiful assassin Moonkiss, and a well-established party made of cavalry, archers, mages, bards, tacticians, tamers and more. There were about 500 of them.
……
After I picked up a couple of loot from the ground, I walked up to Purple Lily and greeted them with a smile, ”Long time no see, Sister Wang Luo! I wasn’t expecting to see you here…”
Luo River God of the Capital shot my ragtag band of players a glance before commenting, ”Why are you here and not with your main army? Are you trying to roleplay the lone hero or something, o’ greatest Divine General of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls?”
”Of course not, Heaven’s Rain is with me! Thanks for the timely assistance, by the way. We might’ve had to lose a couple more Dragonlight Cavalrymen if you didn’t show up.”
