Chapter 18: Emperor (3)

Editor: GravityTales

"This is the strategy from the guide?" Seven Fields and the others weren't new players. The guides they had seen didn't have this sort of strategy. If there was such a guide, then it would definitely be criticized until there were cuts and bruises all over. Why? Because this could only be done in theory. Four people continuously chain-stunning the Spider Emperor was still reasonable. But to rely on a single person to cleanly kill off all of the small spiders, who would dare to ensure that he wouldn't make a single mistake?

If there was even a single small spider that escaped and bit at any one of the four, then the formation would be interrupted. The Spider Emperor could fly up in the air, drill into the ground, spit webs that pulled them, and spray poison mist. Of all of the hidden BOSSes, it was the strongest. If the four surrounded it and then suddenly, an opportunity to retaliate appeared, then all of them could just die on the spot.

"What do you think? Can you guys do it?" Yet Ye Xiu still asked.

"Hey hey, isn't this a problem that we should be asking you? Can you guarantee that not a single spider will leak out?" Sleeping Moon said.

"Of course. That's why the crucial point is you guys. Four people surrounding it. It's also the highest level Spider Emperor, so coordinating rhythm needs to be fast. I can't help you guys. If you hear my voice and then react, it might already be too slow, so I can only rely on the coordination of you four. What do you think? Is there a problem?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Is there any other method?" Seven Fields asked. Truthfully, the four of them weren't very confident.

"With your combination of class skills, I don't think there is any other." Ye Xiu said.

"This is a method you decided on after seeing our class's skills?"

"Correct."

The four were shocked. They were still wondering what guide Ye Xiu looked at because the several times they had done it, they had never seen a guide like that. Now they knew, Ye Xiu didn't look at a guide to look for a strategy, he was only looking at it to see the BOSSes characteristics. After looking at it, he created a strategy that fit their skills. Without any testing, without any breaking in, just directly commanding, in the end they cleared the BOSSes.

This time what shocked the four of them wasn't the gorgeous character control, the outstanding awareness, or the exceptional leadership. It was the extremely deep understanding of the game. Seven Fields and the others immediately felt that the word "expert" wasn't enough to describe him. Only an even grander term could...

But the four of them were still hesitant because this time they couldn't completely depend on him. The four had to do their part alone. Originally, they weren't any great experts, merely experienced players that were better than new players. When Ye Xiu asked whether they could do it or not. They truthfully didn't have much confidence.

The four hesitated, but Ye Xiu didn't urge them. The five of them just silently stood there outside the Spider Emperor's den. But at this moment, a system announcement suddenly flashed over their screens. The first Spider Cave hidden BOSS kill had already been completed.

Seven Fields clenched his teeth and thought It'd be best not to think of the first kill at this moment. Even if we went through a dungeon on an ordinary day, if we met a hidden BOSS, then it's not like we wouldn't even try and just give it up. If we really couldn't do it, then we could just quickly leave. One benefit of beginner village dungeons was that force quitting a dungeon could be done. Although the character still had to be resurrected, there wouldn't be any experience loss. Beginner village all in all took good care of new players.

"Shall we try it?" Seven Fields looked towards his three brothers. The three players showed fighting spirit after seeing the system announcement. They all agreed in unison.

"Bring it on!" Seven Fields represented his brothers and declared their choice to Stolord.

"Four people is enough to use this strategy. Recall what your rhythm was the last few times. Now just make it a bit faster. Don't think about it, feel it." Ye Xiu said.

"Understood."

"I'll start the battle." Ye Xiu said this and directed Stolord to the den entrance. He didn't enter. He just took out his Parasol and lifted it up once. He then suddenly turned around and retreated swiftly.

"Done?" The four were stunned.

"Done." Ye Xiu said.

The four were all scratching their head in puzzlement. How did he start it? They didn't see anything. They all thought that Stolord would enter. Who knew that he would just stand at the entrance for a bit? This type of initiation could only be done by long-ranged classes!

"Did he bring a gun?"

"He must have."

While they guessed, a shriek rang out from the den. The Spider Emperor that had been in a nice nap had been forcefully woken up. Everyone felt the entire cave shake and knew that the Emperor was about to come out.

"Disperse to the left and right. Be careful!" Ye Xiu yelled. Seven Fields and the others separated left and right, two on each side. The Spider Emperor spat out poison and directly pounced onto Stolord.

Stolord didn't retreat and instead moved forward. He rushed forward to meet it. Right when it looked as if he were going to be pounced on, suddenly, his body lowered. With a whoosh and a bang, he slid across the Spider Emperor's belly.

"I told you he brought a gun!" Drifting Water shouted. The bang was a sound produced from a basic gunner attack.

The sliding Stolord then leaped up into the air. With a flick of his wrist, the lance stabbed into the Spider Emperor's butt. Using the Spider Emperor's pouncing power, he sent the Spider Emperor flying into the four-man formation.

"Up!" Ye Xiu yelled. The four acted with confusion. Prior to this, they had thought that Ye Xiu needed a bit of time to bring the monster into the trap.They hadn't thought that the Spider Emperor would've been brought to them so directly and efficiently.

"I'll start!" Seven Fields shouted and moved up to attack.

"Then me." Sunset Clouds moved up.

Drifting Water went next.

"..." Sleeping Moon had to go next.

After Sleeping Moon finished, Seven Fields cried: "My skill's still on cooldown."

"Too quick." Ye Xiu's Stolord had already dashed up to use a Dragon Tooth keeping the Spider Emperor stunned.

"Hurry up and get familiar with the rhythm." Ye Xiu directed Stolord to the just recently spawned small spiders.

"Okay!" Seven Fields looked. It turns out that the Emperor didn't immediately lay out all of its abilities when the fight began. It started out quite slow giving them some time to ease in. At this point, the great expert could still deal with a small amount of spiders while simultaneously helping them continuously stun.

"It's still too fast." After the round was over, Seven Field's skill was still on cooldown.

"Don't be nervous. Grasp the rhythm." Ye Xiu reminded.

"Fast, Drifting Water went too early."

"Still fast, it's still Drifting Water."

"It's still fast. This time it's Little Moon Moon. Drifting Water's rhythm was good. You've adjusted well." Ye Xiu helped observe who was doing well while busily hitting down the small spiders.

The Spider Emperor's life continued to drop. The spawn rate increased by one, two, three.

"Okay, this round's rhythm was good that time. Grasp it well!" Finally, this round, their coordination was just right.


Chapter 19: Emperor (4)

"Rhythm.... Rhythm..." Seven Fields and the others recited the word until their minds were about to break. In front of their eyes wasn't the Spider Emperor nor an attack target, only when to use their skill.

After another successful round after another, the four players felt happy. Had they finally grasped it? Although they couldn't say what the feeling was, but it felt like it was right and began instinctively releasing their skills at the right time.

Ye Xiu at this time also didn't have the skill to take care of them anymore. After saying a "Go! Go! Go!", he coiled around the Spider Emperor taking down the small spiders.

Hitting left and right without ever failing, the small spiders were killed. Currently, only Ye Xiu could do this. Although there were other players that had this level of skill, in the new server, their weapons were still only level 10. They couldn't kill the small spiders in one hit. If a small spider had to be hit twice to kill, even Ye Xiu wouldn't be able to completely clear them all.

"Be careful and concentrate! You guys can do it." Ye Xiu reminded them from time to time. He clearly knew that it was easy to grow numb from doing this sort of repeated robotic action. If their minds wandered for a bit, then a tragedy would appear.

Seven Fields didn't let their minds go astray. They fixed their attention on their brother's actions. They didn't have to time to worry about what Stolord was doing even though they clearly knew that clearing the small spiders was much more difficult. In addition, a single mistake would cause them to all die too.

The Spider Emperor's life had already dropped to half.

Seven Fields repeatedly did the same action and the rhythm was fast too. He felt that his fingers had turned a little rigid. They all began to doubt whether they could still continue to press on. Seven Fields boldly gave some attention to Stolord's situation.

Stolord was currently flying around everywhere. The Spider Emperor had already begun to lay six eggs at once!

Six spider eggs. After breaking open their shell, without any reason, would randomly choose a target to pounce on. Stolord's battle lance was jet-black. Only the tip of the Parasol had a small glint of light. With a wave and a flash of cold light, the battle lance stabbed through the small spider, which shrieked and died on the spot.

"Not good!!" Seven Field's heart dropped. He saw, from the corner of his eye, a small spider had quickly flew towards Sunset Clouds. But Stolord's distance was too far, it didn't look like he would make it in time.

In the end, he only heard a "bang" echo and that small spider burst into flames, exploding into small pieces.

"What happened?" Seven Fields said in a flurry. It was good that he still hadn't forgotten his task. He attacks were still on point.

"It seems as if it had been hit by a gun." Seven Fields thought. But at that time he had only seen the small spider, he hadn't payed attention to Stolord's movements. Thinking about that long-ranged initiation, he confirmed that this player also brought a different class's weapon with him.

Seven Fields now felt reassured, but when he looked at his brothers, he saw that they were all concentrated solely on their task at hand. Their heads hadn't even turned once. Seven Fields suddenly discovered, that during this moment of distraction, his weariness and nervousness decreased by quite a bit.

But at this moment, Seven Fields didn't dare tell his brothers about this experience. If everyone became distracted for a bit, who knew what would happen?

"I hope that there won't be any accidents..." Seven Fields silently thought in his heart.

But at this moment, Sleeping Moon felt as if his limit had almost been reached. Both hands were extremely stiff and it seemed like they had lost all flexibility. He couldn't even tell whether he had completed his action when each round passed. His gaze was fixed on the screen. When suddenly, he felt as if the distance between the screen and him widened, and everything on the screen blurred.

Feeling, I have to remember the feeling...

Sleeping Moon kept reminding himself. He was under a lot of pressure and was afraid of making a mistake. He knew that his brothers already had a somewhat bad opinion of him. Even more, he didn't want Stolord to look down on him.

Stand firm! Sleeping Moon clenched his teeth and persevered. In the very beginning, the Spider Emperor's health seemed to drop so quickly. But why does it feel so slow now? After all this time, why is there still ⅓ left? Can I really persevere until the end?

When Seven Fields became distracted, it let him relax a bit. But when Sleeping Moon became distracted, it only added to his pressure. In the end, it didn't matter what happened though, the two players hadn't made any mistakes yet. Their chain-stunning coordination still continued.

Just at this moment, Drifting Water suddenly let out a cry.

He made a mistake!

When they had first started to break in, he was also the slowest to enter the state, unable to grasp the rhythm. After persevering for this long, he had finally made a slip-up. Just like before, he had acted too quickly! Although the Spider Emperor was still stun-locked, after Sleeping Moon went, what then? Because Drifting Water had acted too quickly, Seven Field's skill would still be on cooldown. He had no other skill to stun the Spider Emperor again.

The four player's hearts all dropped to a sheet of dead ash. They all hoped that the expert would perform a miracle and rescue them. But in the end, they saw that the Spider Emperor raised its butt and unfortunately, spawned eight eggs at this moment.

It's over... The four gave up all hope. After Sleeping Moon used his skill, he could only sorrowfully look at Seven Fields

Seven Fields had no available skills, he had no idea what to do next. After losing control of the Spider Emperor, what should he do? This was an event that he hadn't foreseen.

"Seven Fields move out of the way!"

In the middle of their despair, a voice ignited their hopes in an instant. Seven Fields immediately moved to the side without the slightest hesitation. A battle lance streaked from the sky. Stolord used Dragon Tooth to stab the Spider Emperor.

The Stun status had been mended, but with no one controlling the eight small spiders, they all scattered ready to bite everyone. Everyone was at a loss. They didn't know whether to continue attacking the Spider Emperor or deal with the small spiders. In the end, they saw that Stolord, who had just used Dragon Tooth, moved forward two steps. The battle lance in his hand unexpectedly split into two parts. With each hand holding a different part, both arms stretched forward and held back the Spider Emperor.

"Hmph!" Stolord lifted both his arms. Taking advantage of the Spider Emperor raising his head, he flipped backwards. With an Iron Bridge, he toppled the Spider Emperor onto its back.

Grappler skill: Back Throw.

This skill not only did damage to the target, but also created a small-scale ripple damaging monsters in its radius. Stolord's Back Throw had created a ripple at just the right spot hitting all eight spiders. The small spiders all flipped over and bounced up. With a crashing sound, they all turned into corpses.

"Seven Fields!" Ye Xiu yelled. Seven Fields had been prepared. He immediately kicked it and the Spider Emperor continued to be in a Stunned state.

"Everyone be careful. I can't rescue you guys all the time." Ye Xiu said.
