Chapter 828: Moonchaser Tiger (1/2)
Well of the Abyss was an offensive CC skill. All targets trapped within the well couldn’t be attacked for 15 seconds, but they would lose 50% of their HP at the end of the duration. It was a powerful skill to say the least. The system announcement didn’t mention its cooldown, but all things considered, it couldn’t be too short. Otherwise, Beiming Xue could just trap any opponent with the Well of the Abyss repeatedly until they died...
……
”Haha, well done! Beiming became a Divine General!” Xu Yang cheered loudly.
The people of Warsky Alliance were stunned. They didn’t expect that Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ Dark Archer would be the one to take out the final boss.
Still wielding the Ghost Banner, Warsky declared angrily, ”Keep fighting! The Tiger Soul Essence must be in their hands! The boss may be dead but the fight isn’t over yet!”
The guild leader and his people rushed toward us. I raised my sword and growled, ”Dragonlight Cavalry, prepare for battle!”
However, the expected clash didn’t happen. Rays of prismatic light suddenly erupted from Beiming Xue’s body, and lotus flowers made of cyan cyclones appeared beneath her feet. In that moment, she looked like a beautiful elf who had transcended the mortal coil. There was some variance, but the visual effects of Great Earth Transformation for female players were more or less the same. Also, Beiming Xue’s divine energy was full since she just became a Divine General, and she saw no reason not to use it right now.
She waved her hand downward, and countless strands of golden light rushed into the air. The next moment, everyone around Warsky and October Rain screamed in surprise as the ground beneath them dissolved into a pool of golden mud that continuously dragged down toward the unknown bottom. For 15 seconds, they would be stuck in it!
Well of the Abyss truly was an impressive skill!
……
Warsky Alliance’s players were stunned for a moment. Divine energy curling around her fingers, Beiming Xue smiled at the enemies and asked, ”Is there anyone else who wants to try my Divine General Skill? My Divine Energy is almost full, so please don’t hold back on my account! You are worth it!”
”Gulp!”
Wang Dongliang swallowed and stared longingly at the boss's body. He was obviously reluctant to give up, but Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls made their stance pretty clear: anyone who tries to put their grubby hands on the boss will pay the price in blood.
Wei-Jin North-South Dynasties put away his spear and ordered his subordinates, ”Alright, the battle is over, and it’s time to leave. The final victor hasn’t yet been decided, but that doesn’t have anything to do with us, does it? Let’s go kill some dread-rank mobs and farm more Dark Prison sets, everyone!”
But unlike the Chinese players, the Northern Alliance had reappeared at the perimeters to stare at us with greedy eyes. These new players had just come up the ninth floor, and their numbers had exceeded ten thousand already. If they were led by a good leader, they could definitely deal a huge blow to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Snowy Catahya!
Among them was a high-level mage called Shabby Castle from Sunset City, England. He said, ”Vienna has perished on the battlefield, and the time to fight to the death is now, braves of the Northern Alliance! Charge and kill the CGL Hall of Famers! Avenge our fallen brothers and sisters!”
The Northern Alliance cavalry immediately activated their Charge. The ground immediately shook beneath the hooves of their mounts.
It was at this moment a rider appeared in front of the Chinese ranks. It was none other than Lin Yixin and her Frostscythe Warhorse. The Devil Bell ringing melodiously to her movement, the cutie shot the enemies a bright smile as she toyed with her dagger.
The thundering hooves of the Northern Alliance instantly came to a halt. A couple of magic knights pointed at Lin Yixin and exclaimed in shock, ”It’s her! It’s that succubus murderer! How is she still alive, and… is that the wind up to God’s Tear that I’m seeing? My god, is she planning to kill us all again??”
Their voice was literally shaking as they said this. They looked like they were about to piss their pants.
I hastily whispered to her, ”Don’t use it, Yiyi!”
”I know!”
Lin Yixin turned around and stuck out her tongue playfully at me. When she turned back, she had put on a serious mask once more. Raising her dagger and smiling at the Northern Alliance players, she said, ”You want the reward of Nine Tigers Soul Suppressing Tower, don’t you? Come on then. Allow me to remind you of the taste of God’s Tear!”
Shabby Castle shivered from head to toe as an assassin next to him said, ”Boss, we can’t do this! Hundreds and thousands of our brethren are in the Land of Soul Suppression right now. If she uses God’s Tear and does a map-wide wipeout again, our losses will be unthinkable. The Wild Boars we recruited from Scotland would riot for sure!”
Shabby Castle nodded. ”I know…”
Another Heroic Bannerman walked up to Shabby Castle and supported the assassin’s argument, ”There’s no need to hesitate any longer. If we had a small winning chance before, that chance is now gone forever. Hmph! We could’ve owned this map completely, but most of the best players from Titan City, Seven Star City and Eternal Love City refused to come. Now the Chinese are the ones who hold the absolute advantage. Castle, I’m leaving with my people. This is no longer our battle.”
”Fine…”
Shabby Castle let out a sigh before ordering, ”Time to return to our cities, everyone! You can stay behind if you want to farm the Dark Prison sets, but the ninth floor is crawling with Chinese, so don’t say I didn’t warn you if you die! Take care!”
Finally, Shabby Castle shot Lin Yixin an angry glare before growling, ”Just you wait, Wind Fantasy. I will file a complaint to Eternal Moon Corporation and tell them to remove God’s Tear! We will not settle for anything less! Hmph, Eternal Moon Corporation’s leaders must’ve hit their head on a rock or something. How can they allow such an OP skill to exist in an MMO? Ridiculous!”
Lin Yixin blushed before shooting back, ”Oh yeah? Do it! Anyone who dares to delete my Divine General Skill will face the consequences, hmph hmph…”
Shabby Castle glared at Lin Yixin one last time before pulling out his return scroll and shouting, ”Our operation has failed! Northern Alliance, retreat!”
Lin Yixin let out a melodious laugh as the enemy teleported away. Realization was starting to dawn on me, but I couldn’t say anything at the time.
