Chapter 1 The Astonishment of the Guild Executives

Bai Qingxue and the other upper echelons of the guild showed surprise upon hearing Shi Feng's commands.

It was clear that Cola was the main tank against the Rock King, so normally he should be given the best equipment. Yet, now he was replacing the Dragonscale Shield, which would likely make it even harder to fight the Rock King.

What was even more incredible was that Shi Feng was going to assist Cola.

As a tank, Cola had special advantages when fighting a Boss, namely damage reduction and shorter stiffness time. However, a swordsman didn't have these advantages. If the stiffness time was too long when facing the Boss, especially with the increasingly powerful Bosses of today, the longer stiffness time when blocking would easily create problems in the coordination with the tank's defense, leading to the annihilation of the entire team.

That's why fewer and fewer teams allowed plate armor classes to act as temporary support; they only allowed shield warriors and guardian knights to block.

On the other side, after Cola received the Titan Guard and checked its attributes, his mouth dropped open in disbelief.

"What amazing attributes!"

Cola stared intently at the Titan Guard. He had been somewhat reluctant to part with the Dragonscale Shield, but now he absolutely loved the Titan Guard.

Legendary item fragments were a legend in God's Domain, and although the Titan Guard was currently only Epic rank, as long as he collected 100,000 Magic Crystals, it could be upgraded to a Legendary item fragment. At that point, he wouldn't just dare to confront Grand Lord ranked Primordial Species, he would even dare to stroke the whiskers of Legendary monsters.

Moreover, even though the Titan Guard was only Epic rank, its attributes and skills were even more powerful than the Dragonscale Shield.

Before long, everyone had taken their positions to face the Rock King and the Rock Guardians. Even from 100 yards away, the terrifying aura of the Rock King could be clearly felt.

At that moment, everyone's breathing became rapid.

Especially the melee players.

The Rock King's form, over thirty meters tall, resembled a high-rise building. They had no doubt that if they didn't respond properly or dodge in time, they could be instantly killed, beyond the reach of the healers.

"Tanks, pull the aggro!" Shi Feng shouted, seeing that everyone was ready.

At Shi Feng's command, Cola, Spotted Hawk, and Sleepless Leaf immediately took action, rushing towards the Level 60 Rock King and Rock Guardians respectively.

The moment Cola and the others stepped into the 100-yard range of the Rock King and Rock Guardians, the eyes of the Rock King and Rock Guardians, towering above the central altar of the gathering place, suddenly opened, emitting a blinding red light.

The instant their eyes opened, Shi Feng activated the Thunder Domain, beginning to suppress the Rock King and Rock Guardians. However, the effect was not ideal, only reducing the attributes of the Rock King and Rock Guardians by 20%.

The Rock King's HP only dropped from 200 million to 180 million.

The suppression of the domain enraged the Rock King. With a roar, its enormous arms swelled and slammed violently against the ground.

Boom!

The earth shattered, and a shockwave began to spread in all directions.

At this moment, the ground looked like ocean waves, rising more than ten meters high and surging directly towards Cola and the other two, leaving them no way to avoid it.

Tier 3 magic, Earth Pulse!

This caused Cola and the others to be wary and immediately activate their life-saving skills.

Blessing of Protection!

Shield Wall!

The healers in the back row also cast shields and continuous healing effects on Cola and the other two.

The moment they made contact, not only were the shields shattered instantly, but Cola and the other two were also sent flying more than ten yards away, crashing heavily to the ground. Their HP began to plummet wildly, stabilizing only after dropping by more than half.

This made Bai Qingxue and the others, who had not yet rushed forward, gasp.

With just one attack, the tanks who had activated their life-saving skills had more than half their HP knocked off. If they didn't have life-saving skills, they would definitely be instantly killed, not to mention anyone else.

Fortunately, Shi Feng had the three tanks move first, instead of having everyone rush over together, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Tanks, quickly pull the aggro. Healers, focus on healing the tanks. After the aggro is stabilized, everyone attacks!" Shi Feng was not surprised by this; it was just an appetizer.

Although he had not personally fought the Rock King, he had watched many battles for Thunder Island and was familiar with all the guarding Bosses on Thunder Island, knowing their skills and weaknesses.

The Rock King had two extremely troublesome aspects: the group-wiping ultimate skill, Meteor Blast, and the Life Division. If these two aspects were not handled well, it would lead to a complete wipe, with no chance to escape. Tier 3 magic like Earth Pulse was just child's play, otherwise, it wouldn't be hailed as one of the three great Bosses of Thunder Island.

Upon hearing Shi Feng's orders, everyone quickly took action. Cola held back the Rock King, while Spotted Hawk and Sleepless Leaf led the Rock Guardians to a distance, with Lone Nine Extremes and Dark Night Rhapsody alternating to kite the two Rock Guardians.

However, a Grand Lord was still a Grand Lord. Even suppressed by the Thunder Domain, their movement speed and attack speed were not comparable to the Rock Giants of the Lord rank.

The sky-covering palms continuously slammed down, as if swatting flies. The coverage of a single palm was a radius of seven or eight yards, making it difficult for even Tier 2 professions like Cola and the others to dodge completely; they would inevitably be grazed.

The two Rock Guardians were still manageable. Spotted Hawk and Sleepless Leaf used their shields to block some attacks, and due to the effect of their life-saving skills, the damage they received was only around 8,000. However, Cola was not so lucky.

When the Rock King slapped down, even though Cola only blocked part of the damage and had the effect of Blessing of Protection, over 12,000 damage still appeared above his head. Fortunately, Cola's HP had reached over 73,000 after switching to the Titan Guard, which could withstand one attack every 20 seconds.

"It's a good thing I switched to the Titan Guard, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to withstand this Rock King." The more Cola looked at the Titan Guard in his hand, the happier he became.

The increase in HP and damage reduction were secondary; the key was the stiffness after taking significant damage.

The 30% reduction allowed him to block and dodge the Rock King's attacks more easily. Otherwise, even if he dodged part of the first attack, he would likely be completely hit by the second attack, taking 100% of the damage. At that point, the HP loss wouldn't just be over 12,000; it could easily be 20,000 or 30,000.

However, the Rock King was no pushover. The Primordial Species bloodline made the Rock King's attack and reaction speed generally faster than other Rock Giants. The continuous attacks put Cola in a state of stiffness, making it increasingly difficult for him to dodge.

Seeing the third attack coming, it was impossible for Cola to dodge completely. He could only raise the Titan Guard and choose to endure it head-on.

Suddenly, a cyan light flashed and landed on the Rock King's wrist.

Boom!

The Rock King's arm instantly deviated, slamming down less than half a yard away from Cola, allowing Cola to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Guild Leader!" Aqua Rose and the others were shocked to see this scene.

The person who attacked the Rock King's wrist was none other than Shi Feng. Moreover, Shi Feng clearly made contact with the Rock King, not only causing the Rock King to have a significant attack deviation, but also only taking slightly over 10,000 damage himself, which was less than Cola, who had blocked part of the damage.

What was even more terrifying was that no stiffness was detected; only the blade of the sword in Shi Feng's hand trembled slightly.

It should be known that on Thunder Island, it was impossible to use any burst skills; they could only rely purely on the players' basic attributes to fight...
