Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 619 Talented Individuals Emerge
Inside the fifty-man team dungeon, Raven God Ruins.
A black-feathered raven, over thirty meters tall, continuously spewed out azure flames. Wherever the flames passed, everything was reduced to a sea of azure fire. Any player touched by it wouldn't survive more than three seconds.
This black-feathered raven was none other than the final Boss, Azurefire Raven King.
Azurefire Raven King, High Lord, Level 28, HP 10,000,000.
Bosses in dungeons were slightly weaker than equivalent High Lords in the wild, but their health was several times higher. Coupled with special skills, they were much harder to deal with than High Lords of the same level in the wild, especially the final Boss. They had high intelligence and knew how to exploit a team's weaknesses, which greatly increased the demands on player coordination. It was a Boss that completely tested a team's abilities.
To clear such a Boss, there were only two possibilities: first, rely on the overall strength of the team's cooperation; second, rely on overwhelming individual power.
However, for the major guilds right now, both options were extremely difficult to achieve.
"Carefully dodge the flames! Anyone touched by the flames, immediately move away from the crowd!" Fire Dance shouted sternly.
This azure flame could be said to be one of the ultimate team-wipe moves.
It wasn't just that the flame domain was off-limits, but any player touched by the azure flame would be infected, like a plague, dealing 2,000 damage every 3 seconds to players within 10 yards. This was almost half of a cloth-armor class's health. Moreover, after being infected, they would also infect other players, creating a chain reaction that could quickly wipe out the entire team.
The fifty people present were not new players. They had faced this Azurefire Raven King dozens of times. They were all extremely familiar with it, dodging the azure flames at the first opportunity. However, some unlucky people were hit directly by the flames and had to immediately leave the crowd.
After a wave of azure flames, the Azurefire Raven King's scarlet pupils narrowed, and it stared at a healer in the back row. With a flap of its wings, it stirred up a storm and soared into the sky, its huge wings blotting out the sun as it swooped down towards the healer.
"Damn it, looks like the Azurefire Raven King has been targeting Ziyan all along." Fire Dance's brow furrowed as she repeatedly shouted, "Cola, use Steel Will!"
"Got it!"
The burly Cola roared, instantly emitting a golden light that was impossible to ignore. This immediately attracted the Azurefire Raven King's attention, and its black, steel-like wings descended on Cola's head.
Steel Will, a Tier 1 skill, allowed all enemies to be forced to attack the user, increasing defense by 70% for 4 seconds. If the enemy ignored the user, it would increase the user's strength by 70%, speed by 100%, and damage by 100% for 5 seconds. Cooldown time was 2 minutes.
For Guardian Knights, a class with inherently high Strength, a 70% increase in Strength and a 100% increase in damage would be unbearable even for a Boss of the same level, so it had to attack Cola.
Boom!
The enormous attack power of the black wings directly knocked Cola back, forcing him to retreat seven or eight yards. Even with his shield up, Cola still took over eight hundred damage.
"The power of the Dive Combo is really something." Cola continuously used his shield to block, each impact making him retreat continuously, his hands going numb. If his defense wasn't increased by 70%, the damage would easily break a thousand. A dozen or so attacks in a row would completely kill him.
While Cola was losing health rapidly, Ziyan Liuyun in the back row waved her jade hand, and streams of healing magic landed on Cola, raising and lowering his health very timely, eventually stabilizing it on a safe line, preventing him from being instantly killed by the Azurefire Raven King.
It was because of Ziyan Liuyun's sharp healing skills that the entire team could be so relaxed. By relying solely on Ziyan Liuyun to heal the main MT, it made things much easier for the other healers, preventing casualties due to the Boss's minor skills.
The other classes also seized the opportunity to output damage.
When Cola's Steel Will effect wore off and the Azurefire Raven King wanted to attack Ziyan Liuyun again, the female knight, Banjiu, also used Steel Will, again attracting the Azurefire Raven King's attacks.
The female knight Banjiu was a knight Shi Feng had met when he made a scene in the Teleportation Hall. At that time, her strength was only at the elite level, but now she had become a core member of Zero Wing, second only to Cola and the shield warrior Ye Wumian.
However, Banjiu's equipment was ultimately lacking, requiring at least two healers to stabilize her health.
At this time, Fire Dance and other melee classes continuously attacked the Azurefire Raven King from behind.
The Truefire Edge in Fire Dance's hand transformed into countless flames, each strike dealing over a thousand damage to the Azurefire Raven King, far surpassing Heizi, who used an Epic-ranked staff.
Among the many melee classes, one Berserker was very conspicuous. Although he was using a Level 25 Fine-Gold greatsword, the damage he dealt ranked seventh in DPS. This person was Jian Ying, who was with Banjiu. He was not much weaker than the sixth-ranked Battle Demon, Yi Dao Chengfeng, one of the Five Demon Generals. Yi Dao Chengfeng used a Level 25 Dark-Gold battle blade, whose damage was much stronger than a Fine-Gold greatsword, but the two's DPS was almost the same, showing just how high Jian Ying's skill completion rate was.
"Jian Ying, your progress is too fast. Yesterday, I saw your skill completion rate was only around 78%, but today it's steadily at 80%. Looks like my position as the number one Berserker is in jeopardy." Yi Dao Chengfeng said dejectedly.
"That's because you're not working hard enough. Jian Ying has been either going to dungeons or the Arena of Gods and Demons to improve during this time." Ye Wumian, the former captain, said with disdain.
"Alright, focus on dealing with the Boss!" Fire Dance reprimanded.
In fact, besides Jian Ying, many other strong new players had joined the main team, greatly improving Zero Wing's current main team's strength.
Strong new players constantly joined Zero Wing's main team, and after a long period of running together, their coordination was already quite good.
The fight continued to this point, and the Azurefire Raven King's health was only 50% remaining.
"Die, all you invaders!" The Azurefire Raven King roared angrily.
"Cola, you hold the Boss, other MTs and melee classes deal with the small monsters!" Fire Dance's expression turned serious, and she immediately shouted.
Soon, more than a dozen Azurefire Ravens, each over three meters tall, flew down from the sky. Each Azurefire Raven was a Level 28 Special Elite with 300,000 HP, making them difficult to deal with.
If these Azurefire Ravens weren't quickly taken care of, they would grow up, which was also their only skill, Growth.
As long as they used this skill, the Azurefire Ravens would turn into Leader-ranked monsters with 700,000 HP, making them even harder to deal with. If too much time passed, they would even grow into Lords with 1,500,000 HP. Even the most powerful team couldn't handle dealing with a Boss and a dozen Lords at the same time.
A few minutes later...
At the resurrection point outside the Raven God Ruins, a group of people emerged.
Around them, there were also many teams sitting on the ground resting. Among them were many of White River City's big guilds, all of whom had been wiped out by the Azurefire Raven King.
When the crowd saw the newly emerged group, they couldn't help but cast envious glances.
This group was Zero Wing's main team, the team with the best equipment in all of White River City.
"These Azurefire Ravens are really too hard to clear. Our overall DPS is still too far off." Heizi said dejectedly, "If Guild Leader came to the dungeon with us, it would be easy to pass this stage with his DPS."
Everyone couldn't help but nod.
In everyone's eyes, Shi Feng was not human. One person could be used as an entire team.
At this time, Fire Dance received a communication from Aqua Rose, and after chatting for a few sentences, Fire Dance's face lit up with joy.
"Let's all return to the city and rest." Fire Dance said in the team chat.
"Return to the city? Weren't we going to try five or six more times today?" Heizi asked in surprise.
"Didn't you want Guild Leader to come to the dungeon with us?" Fire Dance smiled, "Guild Leader is back now and told me to return to the guild immediately, saying there was something to do with the dungeon."
"Really!" Everyone's enthusiasm rose.
"You'll know when we get back." Fire Dance said, taking out a Return Scroll and starting to read.
The others also took out Return Scrolls.
"Look, Zero Wing's main team actually left! Did they give up on the strategy?"
"Probably. The final Boss of the Raven God Ruins is too powerful. I guess no team can pass it, so why waste time?"
Many teams that were paying attention to Zero Wing started chatting.
