Tianyun Lao Mao

Chapter 211 Remarkable Effect

Stone Peak's voice, though soft, was powerful enough to almost make the priestess's hand tremble, nearly causing her to miss her heal.

The two MTs were stunned on the spot, taking a direct hit from the orc's giant steel axe. Over 400 damage points instantly appeared above their heads, and they stumbled back five or six steps before regaining their balance.

The other damage dealers also stopped their attacks, staring blankly at Stone Peak, thinking they had misheard.

Switch MTs?

It was a joke. These two were the top three MTs in the entire guild. Replacing them on a whim? Was he looking for trouble?

If they had trouble holding aggro or pulling the monster, that would be one thing, but these two MTs hadn't made such mistakes. What reason was there to replace them?

"Have they made any mistakes?" Silent Blade asked.

MTs were the core of a team. A strong MT made clearing dungeons much easier, so you couldn't just replace them casually.

"No," Stone Peak shook his head. These two MTs hadn't made any mistakes, but making no mistakes didn't necessarily mean they were good tanks.

Holding aggro and withstanding hits was fine in ordinary virtual games.

But *God's Domain* was different. Doing just that wasn't enough.

"Since there's no problem, why switch MTs?" Silent Blade frowned slightly.

The two MTs were also furious, expressing their dissatisfaction. This outside help was too arrogant, finding fault even with powerful MTs like them.

"Their evasion is too poor. To put it bluntly, they're taking too much damage. When fighting the Boss, even four healers can't keep up. And their damage output is too low. In a Boss fight, a 1% difference in health can decide the outcome."

"I'm guessing when you fought the first Boss, besides insufficient damage, the healers probably ran out of mana, which is why you wiped, right?" Stone Peak smiled.

Hearing Stone Peak's words, the two MTs were speechless…

Silent Blade was also shocked. He hadn't mentioned the reason for the wipe, but Stone Peak had guessed it.

Since Stone Peak's analysis was so accurate, Silent Blade felt adjustments were needed.

"Night Peak, what improvements do you think we should make? What kind of MTs do we need?" Silent Blade seriously asked for guidance.

The other members of Assassin's Alliance weren't fools. They also saw what was happening, and their resentment lessened, replaced by respect. They all perked up their ears, wanting to hear Stone Peak's advice.

"Simple. Find two Guardian Knights. For their free attribute points, allocate them as 2 Strength, 1 Agility, and 2 Endurance. They should both have learned Guardian Aura and Strength Aura," Stone Peak slowly said.

Without realizing it, Stone Peak had become the center of the team.

Soon, Silent Blade brought two qualified Guardian Knights from the guild. However, their skills were average, and their equipment wasn't great.

One was called Bai Yu (White Feather), and only had a little over 1700 HP. The other was called Shui Bo (Water Margin) and had a little over 1800 HP. Moreover, their defense was more than 200 points lower than the previous MTs, completely different levels.

However, after looking at their equipment, Stone Peak felt it wasn't a big problem. What remained was a matter of skill. Then, he explained how to fight and dodge these elite monsters. As for how much they could understand, it depended on their own comprehension.

He then instructed the two Guardian Knights. One opened Guardian Aura to increase the whole team's defense by 20 points, and the other opened Strength Aura to increase the whole team's strength by 5 points. Stone Peak also activated the A Match for a Thousand title, raising the whole team's attributes by a notch, bringing the two Guardian Knights' health close to 2,000.

The effect of A Match for a Thousand left everyone speechless.

A 10% increase in all attributes was simply a dungeon clearing weapon, equivalent to upgrading the entire team's equipment by one tier.

This increased their chances of defeating the Boss considerably.

So, everyone excitedly began clearing the elite monsters.

At first, everyone was skeptical, thinking this was unreliable. But after the two Guardian Knights began tanking the elite monsters, they realized there really was a big change. Although the orc warriors still dealt nearly 450 damage with each hit,

the orc warriors only hit once every three attacks, compared to the previous MTs who were hit twice every three attacks. The total damage was nearly 150 points less, greatly relieving the healers. As the number of battles increased, the number of attacks the two MTs suffered also slowly decreased, reducing the healers' mana consumption and increasing their sustainability.

By the time they reached the first Boss, Karuul, the two Guardian Knights had taken the pressure off the healers, allowing them to take care of the other team members.

Karuul was a tall and powerful orc, twice the size of a normal orc, with steel-like red muscles all over his body. Behind him was a life-sized magic energy battle blade. He was level 12, a Great Leader-level Boss, with 450,000 HP.

"Night Peak, do you have any ideas on how to take down this Boss?" Facing Karuul again, Silent Blade still felt somewhat heavy-hearted, because they had wiped several times in front of Karuul.

"MTs hold aggro, everyone dodge the skills, that's about it," Stone Peak thought for a moment and said.

"..." Everyone in the team glared at him.

Wasn't that obvious?

"Alright, both MTs, go! You two take turns tanking the Boss. Whoever's health is low, switch immediately. Everyone else, coordinate and assist with attacks to reduce the MTs' pressure," Stone Peak began to command.

The two Guardian Knights charged forward.

As Stone Peak knew, the Hard Mode Karuul only had two moves.

One was Blade Storm, turning himself into a tornado, lasting 20 seconds, dealing 600 damage per second, with a range of 12 yards.

The other was Clone Slash, instantly disappearing from everyone's sight, randomly appearing behind three to five players to attack, dealing 500 damage and inflicting a damage amplification effect, increasing damage taken by 10%, lasting for two minutes, stackable infinitely.

With these two skills, defeating this Boss couldn't take too long. Otherwise, once the damage amplification stacked to a certain level, one Clone Slash would instantly kill three to five people, making it impossible to fight. So there was only one requirement, a quick victory. The longer it dragged on, the more troublesome it would be.

Shui Bo, the Guardian Knight with nearly 2,000 HP, took the lead, waving his hand and landing a Punishment on Karuul's head, dealing 126 damage. Compared to other elites, Karuul's defense was even higher, insignificant against 450,000 HP.

Conversely, Shui Bo didn't dodge in time and was hit by Karuul's blade, sending him flying with 1134 damage, instantly taking away more than half of Shui Bo's HP. Bai Yu immediately rushed forward, activated Righteous Fury, and used Avenger's Shield to pull aggro.

The four healers didn't dare to be careless, immediately casting heals on Shui Bo.

+234, +215, +221, +225. Then the priestess cast the instant-cast spell, Restore, restoring 70 HP every three seconds, lasting 15 seconds. The druid also used Lifebloom, restoring 43 HP every two seconds, lasting 12 seconds.

This instantly restored Shui Bo's health to 90%, and he continued to cooperate with Bai Yu to tank the Boss.
