Chapter 922 Exquisite Coordination
"It should be a doppelganger skill; this is going to be difficult," Blood Curdling Romance muttered, frowning slightly as she looked at the Steel Annihilator that had split into two. She had a very bad feeling about it.
The most annoying thing about fighting Bosses was dealing with doppelganger skills, especially when the doppelgangers' attributes remained unchanged, and they only shared the same health pool. This was much more troublesome than a simple attribute boost from Berserk.
Now, nearly half of the hundred-member team had already died. Facing two High Lord ranked Bosses, the chances of defeating them were too low.
First, only half of the remaining MTs (Main Tanks) were left. Second, the combined combat power of two High Lords wasn't as simple as one plus one. If their attack ranges overlapped and the damage doubled, even with healers like Cola, it wouldn't be enough to keep up.
"If the two High Lords use that same move again, we'll have to give up," Youlan said, her brow furrowed as she watched the two Steel Annihilators. She hadn't expected High Lords to be so difficult to deal with.
"Guild Leader, what should we do? Activate burst mode?" Aqua Rose whispered in a private message.
"Cola, you tank the white Boss, Vulture assists. The other three MTs, go hold the black Boss, keep them fifty yards apart. All healers, form a triangle with the two Bosses, healing the MTs on both sides from maximum range," Shi Feng commanded calmly.
The Steel Annihilator was an important gatekeeper Boss. The system wouldn't allow players to pass the entry trial so easily.
And just as Youlan had guessed, when the Steel Annihilator's health dropped to 30%, the two Steel Annihilators would use Destruction Lightning, and the power wouldn't diminish in the slightest. Because of this, many expert teams had died from this move.
Although the others didn't understand why Shi Feng was doing this, Shi Feng was the team leader. Thanks to Shi Feng's command, so many of them had survived. This made Youlan and the others trust Shi Feng's command even more, and they acted without hesitation.
Soon, everyone was in their designated positions.
Cola was dealing with the Steel Annihilator relatively easily. A normal attack only did five to six thousand damage, and a skill hit only did fourteen to fifteen thousand. If a Priest Oracle set shield was applied, it could absorb a lot of damage. However, the other side wasn't doing so well. Moonlight Knight, as the main tank against the Steel Annihilator, was hanging on by a thread.
A normal attack alone caused more than eight thousand damage. Moonlight Knight's health was only a little over 19,000, almost three thousand less than Cola's. A skill could instantly kill him without various shields. Although Moonlight Knight could rely on skill and positioning to dodge, the difference in strength and speed between him and the High Lord was too great, and the attack range was very large. It was difficult to compensate through skillful positioning, especially since he wasn't an Agility class with high speed. He mainly relied on taking the hits head-on.
Fortunately, with three MTs taking turns, they could barely hold on.
"Everyone, focus fire on the white Boss!" Shi Feng shouted loudly.
Under Shi Feng's command, everyone threw all their skills at the Steel Annihilator. However, the Steel Annihilator's defense was extremely high, and it was an elemental creature with naturally high magic resistance. Most attacks only did around two thousand damage, with a critical hit doing about four thousand. Even powerful DPS players with Epic weapons like Blood Curdling Romance and Qilin could only do four to five thousand damage with skills, and a critical hit would only do a little over ten thousand.
As for Netherwhite Night, his overall damage was slightly higher than Blood Curdling Romance.
However, compared to powerful DPS players like Netherwhite Night and Blood Curdling Romance, Shi Feng and Fire Dance's output stunned everyone.
The output of Netherwhite Night and Blood Curdling Romance, who wielded Epic weapons, was already awe-inspiring, but Shi Feng and Fire Dance were still a level above them.
Shi Feng came behind the Steel Annihilator and swung the Holy Sword, Killing Ray, repeatedly.
Immediately, damage numbers of over six thousand appeared, and these were all critical hit effects from normal damage. If he used a skill, the damage would skyrocket to tens of thousands.
It was a dazzling sight to behold, the damage was gorgeous and off the charts.
It was already shocking that Shi Feng was like this, and Fire Dance on the side was also a humanoid Lord. The two of them directly occupied the first and second positions in the Boss's overall output with absolute advantages, with Shi Feng slightly ahead in first place.
Although Fire Dance held the Fragmented Legendary item, Thousand Transformations, Shi Feng's Abyssal Blade and the Holy Breath of the Dragon had also been improved. Coupled with the gap in skills and techniques, Fire Dance could no longer gain an advantage.
Moreover, both of them possessed extremely high Strength attributes. When they attacked, they would coordinate with each other to attack the same point. One person's strength might not have much impact on the Steel Annihilator, but combining the strength of two people had an effect. It was just that this coordination was too difficult, and it was impossible to do without a certain level of skill.
Shi Feng and Fire Dance would occasionally impact the Steel Annihilator's joints, greatly reducing the pressure on Cola's side. The healers could spare more energy to take care of the MT on the other side.
"How did they do it?"
"I'm not seeing things, am I? Such a strong High Lord is actually being shaken by their combined attack!"
Everyone was stunned as they watched Shi Feng and Fire Dance's almost synchronized attack rhythm. They didn't expect that there was such a way to deal with the Boss.
Experts like them could also achieve the same attack rhythm, but Shi Feng and Fire Dance not only had the same rhythm, but even the position of their attacks seemed to have been pre-arranged. Furthermore, they were hitting the Steel Annihilator's joints at the same time at such a fast speed. This was just too difficult.
Combining two forces into one, the subtle control required was enough to drive expert players crazy, not to mention that the two of them could stack their strength together perfectly. This was no longer a matter of skill, but required a very high degree of synchronization.
However, what everyone didn't know was that Shi Feng and Fire Dance had sparred a lot during the day's training and were already very familiar with each other's attacks. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to cooperate so well.
"How high are their attributes?" Blood Curdling Romance and Netherwhite Night were not just seeing this. They were more curious about Shi Feng and Fire Dance's basic attributes. Without enough strength, even if the two cooperated in the attack, they would not be able to shake the Steel Annihilator.
Before, Blood Curdling Romance thought that Shi Feng and Fire Dance's attributes should not be much stronger than his, but after seeing this scene, he realized that the gap between him and Shi Feng and Fire Dance was much larger than he imagined.
As for Netherwhite Night, he was curious about what kind of guild Zero Wing was. His impression of Guild Leader Black Flame when he met him before had already refreshed his understanding of the world. Now, two more monsters had emerged from the Zero Wing Guild...
"Feng Xuanyang has really harmed Underworld miserably," Youlan said, glancing at the Boss's damage statistics, her eyelids twitching involuntarily.
Feng Xuanyang had always wanted to destroy Zero Wing and replace it, which seemed utterly foolish to her.
Before, she didn't have a clear understanding of Zero Wing's top experts, but now she had a general understanding. She also understood how big the gap between the main force of the Underworld organization and the main force of Zero Wing was. No wonder Zero Wing wasn't afraid of Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, and later had some conflicts with Return of the King, yet remained fearless.
Now it seemed that the strength of Zero Wing's main force was no less than that of the main force of those God's Domain superpowers. Even among those God's Domain superpowers, it was difficult to find terrifying DPS players like Shi Feng and Fire Dance, not to mention a main tank like Cola. Their speed in capturing large-scale team dungeons and collecting top-quality equipment was definitely not slower than those God's Domain superpowers.
The Steel Annihilator's health was visibly decreasing.
Soon, its health dropped to 30%, and the two Steel Annihilators slammed the ground violently, shaking everyone away.
"It's over!" Everyone saw that the two Steel Annihilators were about to use Destruction Lightning and knew that it was all over.
Before, just one Boss using it had almost left them with low health. If two Bosses used it at the same time and the damage was stacked, they would have no way to survive.
"Everyone, hide next to the white Boss. Moonlight Knight, the three of you, hide next to the black Boss. Moonlight Knight, you'll be the main tank. Blackie, give Moonlight Knight Light's Protection. Cola, activate Dragon Scale Body!" Shi Feng shouted immediately.
Light's Protection could reduce damage and heal, while Dragon Scale Body increased Cola's defense by 200% and health by 300%, directly reaching more than 60,000 health, with a 500% recovery rate. Activating Protection Blessing could withstand the attack even without healing.
The black Steel Annihilator's side was too far away. The three MTs definitely couldn't run over in such a short time, so they could only let the MTs on Moonlight Knight's side fend for themselves. Fortunately, there was the skill Light's Protection, which could at least save one person's life. Otherwise, if there was no one to tank the black Steel Annihilator later, they would only be wiped out.
After Shi Feng issued the order, everyone acted immediately.
The two Steel Annihilators used Destruction Lightning, and the power did not diminish in the slightest. It was just that the original six attacks had become three attacks on each side.
"Huh? What's going on?" Everyone was surprised that they were still alive.
Originally, they should have received six attacks, but this time they only received three, and they were not affected by the black Steel Annihilator. As for those on Moonlight Knight's side, they also survived.
"Could it be damage cancellation?" Youlan suddenly thought of their positions, which were in a straight line with the two Steel Annihilators. This way, the impacts from the two Steel Annihilators canceled each other out, and they didn't have to bear the stacked damage.
Not only Youlan understood what was going on, but Blood Curdling Romance and Netherwhite Night also understood. At this time, they all looked at Shi Feng, who was starting to organize the attack, and they were very curious about how smart Shi Feng was. He could even think of such a method in such a short time. If it were them, they would probably just stand there and wait to die.
After the Steel Annihilator's wave of attacks, there were no more devastating moves. In less than ten minutes, it died in Shi Feng's hands, turning into a wealth of experience points. Even if everyone split the experience points, several level 38 members from Alluring Smile's side leveled up to level 39 on the spot. Shi Feng's experience bar also increased by nearly 6%, which was much higher than killing a normal High Lord.
And because of the effect of God's Grace, the Steel Annihilator directly dropped more than a dozen items.
