Chapter 398 - Boss 1—Guardian Eller (1/2)

Holy Light Ancestral Temple was one of those popular War of Light Main Plot Dungeon amongst the Level 40 – 120 players, and one of the major contributing reasons was the 2 Gatekeeper Paladins. After killing them, there was a small chance of producing great quality skill books, which could be sold for up to hundreds of gold coins. Hence, once the players reached Level 60, slaying the Paladins would be a piece of cake, and hence farming the skill books would become a profitable business.

Statistics had shown that the two Paladins were able to produce over thousands of skill books. Unfortunately, the downside was that they had an extremely low drop-rate. Therefore, it was considered extremely profitable if they could receive a book per day.

“My luck is pretty good.” Lin Jie announced the skill book’s attributes and laughed.

[Wind Spirit Protection]: Increases your Movement Speed by 25%, and the effect lasts for 12 seconds.

Wind Spirit Protection was a great quality escape skill that could be learned by all jobs. Think about just how unfair it would be if a Mage was able to cast all types of strong spells while avoiding attacks by activating the Wind Spirit Protection?

This skill book was worth at least 200 gold coins.

“All jobs skill books, everyone, let’s ROLL,” said Lin Jie as this was the best solution for Savage Blade. Everyone was itching to have a go at the first victory loot.

“3!”

“65!”

“34!”

“100!”

“Yay!” Qiu Yuan made a victory sign as she kept the skill book in her bag with a winning roll of 100 points while laughing at Lin Jie’s pathetic 3 points. However, she gave the book to Bu Yi as she understood how important escaping skills were for healers. Bu Yi’s life might be saved by that 25% increase in Movement Speed.

They have officially entered the Holy Light Ancestral Temple Dungeon after clearing the Gatekeeper Paladins. As they headed into the hall, the sight of countless quivering commoners welcomed them. There were hundreds of men that were hoping to enter the temple in search of a comfortable life.

These devoted commoners were at Level 40 with a health bar of 250,000 points with average attributes and were unable to cast Holy Light magic. The only troublesome part was that there were simply too many of them. If they were unlucky, several critical hits might cause the death of MTs.

“The Holy Light will punish all evil and protect its devoted subjects.” At the peak stood a Paladin clad in Gold heavy armor, holding a shield in one hand. That was the Boss 1 of the Holy Light Ancestral Temple, Guardian Eller. He waved his large hands and rays of Holy Light fell like rain, anyone that came into contact with it would have their attributes boosted, the same went for players.

“Stay away from the Holy Light. Camel and Red Dust, gather all the monsters towards our direction using the explosion arrow. Night and Baili, cut down their speed to give our MTs some buffer time to attack. Qiu Yuan, release the fog to reduce Critical Hit Damage, while Star Kill, you attack the boss and draw out its aggro. Bring it away from the smaller monsters while Ziliang uses the Mechanical Gargoyle to tank the damage.” Lin Jie gave out the orders, and the whole team powered up as they worked together in tandem.

This group of commoners with average attributes served as a headache for many guilds as Guardian Eller would randomly sprinkle Holy Light and bless the masses, which increased their attributes, as they battled. Hence, it was a common sight to see players’ battles get tougher as time passed, eventually getting consumed by the smaller monsters. Furthermore, no one dared to challenge Guardian Eller before clearing the obstacles before him. Thus, they could only use large attacks to attack the commoners.

Using a large attack on the first wave of monsters, what would they do afterward?

BOOM!

Red Dust drew her bow and shot at the commoners that swarmed up upon being attacked. The Heavenly Shield and Mixed Breathless supported with defense while Baili Changcheng and Dejected Night slowed down the commoners using frost magic.

Dejected Night was a low profile player but was a master at controlling his skills, even more so than Baili Changcheng. He cast a layer of ice that sealed off the commoners’ path, splitting them into 3 different packs that minimized the damage suffered by MTs the greatest.

-28! -25!

….

-47! -59!

…

Mixed Breathless had much higher defense points as compared to The Heavenly Shield, but with the help of Dejected Night, The Heavenly Shield was under much less pressure, and the damage he suffered was only 1/3 of that of Mixed Breathless.

Baili Changcheng eyed the skillful Dejected Night and soon imitated and adjusted his attacking methods.

Star Kill activated Rush, swung a knife onto the Boss’ head, and dragged him along.

With the absence of Guardian Eller’s blessings, the commoners were only Level 40 Elites with average attributes. Hence, Domestic Fat Cattle activated Blazing Fire Rain as he planned to stir up his DPS, resulting in countless meteors striking the commoners as chains of 1,000+ damage were hurled up. Fat Cattle smiled in pride however, he was utterly stunned as he turned backward.

Lin Jie was surrounded by monsters, and his Broken Blade was covered by Flame Boost, and he was hacking with the Blade Aura. When he used the Army Obliteration Quadruple attack, over hundreds of damage values begun popping up. The DPS value was twice as much as that of Fat Cattle!

The 100+ commoners were troublesome opponents for many guilds, but they were being slain just like that by Savage Blade. Lin Jie turned his attention to the other commoner monsters as there still remained several batches of monsters in the corners ranging from Level 50-70. Savage Blade followed the same plan and slew them all.

After three hours, all the monsters had been cleared. Star Kill activated Forced Invisibility breathlessly as he revoked the aggro and escaped back to base.
