Chapter 48: First Segment

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The whole group entered the Instance Dungeon and the setting was still a blazing plain.
Delicate sent people to distribute the Fire Resistance Potion and had everyone drink it before she gave the order to start.
Before Level 20, all the classes did not have the auxiliary kind of buff, so the preparation for the battle was relatively simple.
There were 5 Fire Tanks in front, and when they saw the players coming forward, they immediately blasted their flames at them.
Every two of the ten main tanks were responsible for pulling aggro on one Fire Tank. Hence, 50 people were divided into five groups before they opened fire against the Fire Tanks.
Old Green was fighting at the front while he secretly observed Li Yi. His purpose was very simple — to seek an appropriate time to pull aggro toward Li Yi and make him die.
Each of the Fire Tanks had more than 100 thousand HP, and their DEF was high. As the melee classes had to endure the burning fire when fighting up-close, the ranged classes were undoubtedly at an advantage in this segment.
Delicately Cute was shooting her arrows and taking note of everyone’s damage output value. Except for the twenty healers, the other thirty’s damage index kept jumping up; hundred… thousand… ten thousand!
Hua Feiwu had long since taken off his plate armor. Even though he liked to boast, he too, knew that there was no way to release any output with that thing on. Who would not want to show off in front of the person he liked?
Hua Feiwu gulped down all the Furious Potion that he had gotten from the Violent Ape King Dungeon, and furiously made outputs. The Wizard he played as was of the Dark Path, so his damage was the highest. In no time, his damage value was at the forefront.
Light of Destruction!
Dark Touch!
Deathstorm!
Whatever skills a Dark Wizard could learn, Hua Feiwu had almost learned all of them. In just a while, his damage value was far above everyone else’s, ranking first.
The person ranked second was also from the Century Flower Guild — the weapon Warrior, Century Battlemaster.
The third place was also someone from the Century Flower Guild — the Cyclone Thief, Old Green.
Delicately Cute was enraged.
Who would not want their own guild to be ranked at the top?
Looking down, Delicately Cute finally felt slightly better. The fourth place was none other than Li Yi, whom she was initially not optimistic about.
“Dark Wing!”
Delicately Cute’s eyes lit up. She looked up and quickly found Li Yi.
At this time, Li Yi was standing behind the big troop by himself. He was shooting non-stop.
“Why are you standing so far away? Coward. Such a wuss.” Delicately Cute snorted with dissatisfaction. She fixed her eyes on Li Yi for a while and found that he had nothing special. His technique was the same as hers. From drawing the bow and releasing the arrow, then drawing the bow again and releasing the arrow again…
‘How is it that his damage is so much higher than mine?’
‘Could it be that he’s so lucky, he triggers Critical Hit each time?’
Delicately Cute was a little dismayed. One had to know that her Gear Score had reached 143, and her character was the high-damage Shooting Path Archer. Even her Chain Arrow Skill was at Level 7.
Boom boom boom!
The HP of the four Fire Tanks were drained and they instantly began to explode.
Main tanks had high Health and great defense, so they were naturally unafraid. However, there were a few Wizards and Archers who went up-close for a better output (because when fighting at a close range, the frequency was naturally faster), so they were all doomed at this time. Blazing shattered pieces scattered all over, instantly killing nine with the explosion.
“6 from Century Flower Guild died; 3 from Dark Emperor died.” Someone began to report.
Hua Feiwu’s face darkened as he commanded, “Corpse run, corpse run. Hurry!”
Delicately Cute waved her hand. “No need for that. Healers, go and rescue.”
Eight healers from the Dark Emperor Guild ran over and together, they used the Resurrection Spell.
Hua Feiwu was stupefied.
Although his guild had a number of healers, none of them were able to learn the Resurrection Spell.
“Where’s the drop spot for the Resurrection Skill Tome?”
“Can you tell me, friend?”
“I’ll give 1000 Gold Coins to buy the information of the drop spot for the Resurrection Skill Tome.”
“Recover, continue!”
Delicately Cute interrupted the healers’ endless questioning from the Century Flower Guild.
Li Yi was actually surprised.
Although he knew that the Dark Empire Guild was rich, he did not know that there were also experts in this guild.
It was necessary to know that it was not because Hua Feiwu’s guild could not afford to buy the Resurrection Spell, but that they were not able to even if they wanted to. There was no Resurrection Spell for sale at all in the Auction House, and the drop rate was so low, it made the healer group cry.
Hua Feiwu cleared his throat. “Miss Delicate…”
“There’s no need for Guild Master Hua to say anything more. The ten Priests from our guild who knows the Resurrection Spell are all here. This is the top secret of our guild, and even I have no right to divulge it.”
Hua Feiwu was exasperated as he roared, “Advance!”
A fifty Elite Fire Dwarfs troop was at the front, while there were two ten-meters-tall Fire Arrow Tower at the back
This was the first checkpoint of the Fire Beast Dungeon. Once they passed this point, they would be able to meet the boss.
“Main tanks stand together to lure the Fire Dwarf army. Healers keep up. The rest of the DPS, come with me to ambush the Arrow Towers.”
Hua Feiwu motioned with his hand and ran for the nearest Arrow Tower.
It was not easy to storm this checkpoint. If you chose to wipe out the Fire Dwarf army, you would have to bear the shooting of five Arrow Towers. The main tanks might be fine, but the healers and DPS would be definitely unable to resist it.
Hua Feiwu’s Century Flower Guild had played this Instance Dungeon several times. The method he had worked out was to divide the group into two; one to lure the Fire Dwarfs while another to ambush the Arrow Towers.
It would, of course, be best if everyone could launch a sneak attack on the Arrow Towers, but then the damage caused then would be too dispersed. Before the HP of the Arrow Tower could be emptied, they would have been surrounded by the Fire Dwarf army. It would be a total annihilation.
“Have to destroy!”
Once Li Yi saw Hua Feiwu’s arrangement, he immediately felt that something was amiss.
Sure enough, the 10 main tanks and healers completed their task and managed to pull aggro on the group of dwarfs. Yet when Hua Feiwu led the DPS to attack the Arrow Tower, the other tower aimed at this side and countless Fire Arrows descended, which caused seven deaths.
There were only 20 DPS. So although the damage was better, the situation had worsened.
“Go to the side of the Arrow Tower and avoid the other one!” Hua Feiwu shouted.
As the people moved to the side of the Arrow Tower, the other tower was unable to shoot towards this area. Just as the people were at ease, the two towers unified and targeted the main tanks and the healers that were fighting with the Dwarfs.
“Don’t bother so much. Just charge!”
Hua Feiwu’s heart ached as he gulped down another bottle of Rage Potion, waving his staff to blitz the tower.
“Vice Guild Master, how ’bout I go and strike the other tower? This will distract the attacking force of the Arrow Towers.”
Li Yi PM-ed 1 Delicately Cute.
“Listen and follow the party’s command,” Delicately Cute blandly replied.
Li Yi could do nothing. He had played countless Instance Dungeons and naturally understood this principle in which one must absolutely obey the party commander’s order.
However…
If the party commander made a mistake which caused a total annihilation and he did not speak up, then dying along with them would really be not worthwhile.
There clearly was still a way to redeem the situation.
“Despicable creatures, I want to crush your heart!”
When the HP of the Arrow Tower dropped to one-third, three Fire Dwarfs appeared. Wielding a sledgehammer, they pounced at the DPS team.
Most of the main tanks and healers at the front had been killed and injured. Facing the attack from the two towers and the many Fire Dwarfs, not to mention their current level, even players of Level 30 or so would not be able to resist as well.
Every time the three Fire Dwarfs’ sledgehammers hammered down, it would take away the life of one DPS. When the DPS saw that they could not resist any much longer, they messed up their formation and began to scurry about. As a result, the monsters they pulled aggro on increased, and they died even faster instead.
Hua Feiwu dashed more than a hundred meters away and was smashed by the Fire Dwarf’s flying hammer. He died on the spot, and the staff in his hand fell.
Delicately Cute was also dead. Not one of the main tanks and healers were left, and soon, the team of 50 people was totally annihilated.
Li Yi was well-prepared way beforehand. He escaped the shooting range of the Arrow Tower together with another two Wizards, and there were no Fire Dwarfs chasing from behind. As he was about to reach the Safe Zone, at this very moment…
Old Green pulled aggro on three Fire Dwarfs and used an Instant Slip-Away to catch up with Li Yi. He smiled sinisterly at Li Yi, and his body disappeared instantly.
“F*ck, play Stealth to harass others!” Upon seeing this, a Wizard from the Dark Empire Guild cursed right away.
The three Fire Dwarfs lost their pursuit target and immediately searched for the nearest substitute, aiming at Li Yi and the other two Wizards!
