Sunset Clouds, Drifting Water, Sleeping Moon, each one attacked it one after the other. They were all scared to the point that their hands were drenched with cold sweat. Every time they grabbed their mouse, they were afraid that their hands would slip. But there was no time to wipe it, they were all wide-eyed not daring to make the slightest mistake.
The situation stabilized once more. The four players that didn't dare be distracted didn't reflect on the past situation. Under their relentless attacks, the Spider Emperor's health declined. From ⅓ to ¼ to ⅕....
"It's almost at red blood. Everyone be careful." Ye Xiu reminded them.
"What do we do when it hits red blood?" Seven Fields asked. When a hidden BOSS hit red blood, there would definitely be a special effect. The guide he looked at said that when the BOSS hit red blood, it would gain Super Armor. In this state, the BOSS couldn't be Stunned.
"Kill it quick!" Ye Xiu said.
Hearing these three words, the four players no longer felt nervous, but on the contrary felt excited. They had performed the same action for too long. They would rather die than do the same actions again.
"It's red!" Seven Fields yelled.
"Sunset Clouds step on a small spider." Ye Xiu shouted.
"What?" Although Sunset Clouds didn't understand this command, he had already subconsciously face towards a small spider that pounced at him. It looked like it really had been prepared just for him.
The small spider bit towards Sunset Clouds and immediately he was incapable of performing any actions. The Spider Emperor unexpectedly also twisted its body and bit disgustingly with its big mouth towards him. Sunset Clouds cried out in fear.
In the end...
In the end, nothing happened.
After the small spider bit him, he was forced into a Stasis state and couldn't move. But during this time, he was invincible, even the Spider Emperor couldn't harm him. Stolord used this knowledge to give everyone time to freely attack the Spider Emperor for three seconds. While the Spider Emperor acted out violently, it continued to spawn eggs like mad. Stolord took note of this and began clearing out all of the small spiders again. Only this time, he carefully observed that the small spiders didn't touch Sunset Clouds. But it could be said that Sunset Clouds suddenly gained insight and actively looked for small spiders to bite him. Although they weren't experts, they were experienced and understood Stolord tactic.
Because the four players had surrounded and attacked the Spider Emperor, they had accumulated a lot of aggro. Sunset Clouds did the greatest amount of damage among the four of them, so the aggro onto him was also the greatest. Stolord used this knowledge and let the Spider Emperor to start off his plan. The original small spiders that had once tried to interrupt their formation became their most dependable protective umbrella.
Before, this tactic wouldn't have worked because it was only until later did Sunset Clouds accumulate enough aggro onto him. Besides, it was also at this point that the Spider Emperor's spawning rate pushed him to his limits. Sunset Clouds lined up to be bitten maintaining his invincibility.
Although the small spiders did some damage, it wasn't very high. When there was an opportunity, Stolord would conveniently give him a heal.
The Spider Emperor spat out webs and poison. Every part of its body that could be used was used but to no avail. Only with their continuous attacks, finally, someone surpassed Sunset Clouds in total aggro.
The Spider Emperor switched attack targets, but the first one to be targeted, Sleeping Moon, had learned of Sunset Cloud's tactic long ago. And the one with the task of clearing small spiders, Stolord, had predicted this step too. He prepared a spider in advance to pounce towards Sleeping Moon.
This most dangerous red blood part of the battle had already been thoroughly turned into a game. Everyone was happily laughing and bullying the Spider Emperor. Finally, they teased this strongest monster in Spider Cave to its death.
First, the system announcement appeared.
Stolord, Seven Fields, Sunset Clouds, Drifting Water, Sleeping Moon are the first to kill the Spider Emperor."
"Sweet!!!" Seven Fields and the others excitedly cheered. If they could, they would've lifted Stolord high up towards the sky and tossed him. If they didn't have him, they wouldn't have been able to complete it. The continuous chain-stuns on the Spider Emperor gave them lots of pressure, but the task of clearing out the small spiders was much harder. The scarier part was that he had rescued them midway. Finally, he accurately controlled the small spider's aggro in order to complete the entire plan...
They had nothing more to say.
Seven Fields and the others truly had no other words to describe it. They had played Glory, but up until now, let alone seeing, they hadn't even thought such an amazing player existed.
"Brother expert, four Strong Silk Threads dropped." Seven Fields ran up to see what the Spider Emperor had dropped and reported it to Ye Xiu. He happily chose to give them up.
The others also, without any objections, agreed that they wouldn't even touch them.
"Thank you." Ye Xiu said and picked up the four Strong Silk Threads.
"The rest is yours!" Ye Xiu also kept his word.
"You take them! You take them!!" After the items appeared, they humbly declined them. They knew that Stolord made sure a disaster never appeared.
Besides the Strong Spider Silk, the Spider Emperor also dropped two Spider Venoms, a pair of Level 15 Chestnut Boots, an armour that added three points to Strength. Apart from this, a Purple Weapon appeared too.
[Mahogany Tachi] – Level 15
Weight: 2.6 kg, Attack Speed: 8
Physical Attack: 165; Magic Attack: 178
Strength +10, Intelligence + 14
Tachis were considered Sword Class Weapons, used by the Swordsman type class, but its Magic Attack was high. Actually, in Glory, weapons either emphasized either Physical Attack or Magic Attack. The Kaleidescope Parasol was the same in both. A player could know that it was self-made just by looking at its stats.
In comparison, the Mahogany Tachi was on the same level as the Kaleidescope Parasol. A Level 15 Purple Weapon was equivalent to his Level 5 Silver Weapon. But this Mahogany Tachi did have additional properties. Its attack speed was higher than the Kaleidescope Parasol by three levels and just by its attribute increases, it already surpassed the Kaleidescope Parasol. Ye Xiu looked at the Tachi and sighed in admiration at today's luck. Blue Equipment and hidden BOSS materials were certain drops, but the previous skill book and the current Purple weapon, those were all luck.
Although low-leveled equipment would quickly become outdated, with this Purple weapon, in the first stage, a player would still be stronger than most others. Not only that, but Purple weapons, could totally be used up until Level 25. Because of this sword, even if a Omni character that hadn't planned on playing the Swordsman type class, switched to it, the switch would be worth it.
The four players all gulped, especially Sleeping Moon and Sunset Clouds. Those two had been planning on playing a Swordsman type class. This weapon absolutely suited them.
"Ha ha, this sword is useless. You guys take it!" After Ye Xiu looked at it for a bit, he decided to renounce it. He also renounced the Spider Venom and Chestnut Boots and completely kept his word on their previous agreement.
"Brother expert, you should still take them!" Seven Fields said honestly, "If you didn't carry us, we wouldn't have been able to see these things!"
"Ha ha, if it weren't for your formation, even I would have trouble killing the Spider Emperor!" Ye Xiu said.
Everyone stared blankly.
Did they hear that correctly? He didn't say he wasn't able to, he only said he'd have trouble.
Ye Xiu decisively renounced it, so Seven Fields and the others accepted it. They were all old friends and they split up the drops harmoniously. The Spider Venom would be sold for money. It didn't matter who chose it. After selling it, they would split the money up again. The Chestnut Boots was an ordinary Blue equipment, so everyone carelessly rolled for it. In the end, Sunset Clouds beautifully dispatched it with a perfect 100 points. As for the Mahogany Tachi, according to their future classes, it would go to either Sunset Clouds or Sleeping Moon. Sunset Clouds had just grabbed the Chestnut Boots. Although the value of it couldn't be compared to the value of the Mahogany Tachi, he still happily chose to renounce it. Sleeping Moon held the Mahogany Tachi both excitedly and somewhat strangely.
The first Spider Cave clear and now the first Spider Emperor kill, both times granted them huge experience rewards. Stolord had already risen to Level 12, while Seven Fields and the others would certainly level up after this dungeon. Killing the normal BOSS was too easy for them and they quickly dispatched it.
After clearing the dungeon, Sleeping Moon felt conflicted again. He had originally planned on leaving the party after this run, but he had just obtained the Mahogany Tachi. Taking equipment and then leaving, didn't seem like good manners. If I leave. No good; If I don't leave. Seven Fields had already told me to get out, if I don't leave then I'd lose face too.
Fortunately, Seven Fields was a good friend and took the initiative to call out to him. It seemed like what he had said in the dungeon was just a joke. And so things ended like this. With Stolord as the leader, everyone entered the Spider Cave once again.
Like Sleeping Moon, Blue River and his group from Blue Brook Guild were also conflicted and depressed. They weren't the first to clear Spider Cave. And of the three hidden BOSSes, two of them had already been stolen. This was their fourth time entering the dungeon. In the end, they still hadn't met one. Right as they were bitterly pressing on, another system announcement popped up. The last of the three hidden BOSSes in Spider Cave, the Spider Warrior, had been killed.
The first to clear the Spider Warrior were members from one of the three great guilds Herb Garden. And the previous hidden BOSS had been clear by members from the other great guild Tyrannical Ambition. From this, it could be seen that the three great guilds should have been evenly matched, but this time that guy, Stolord, had stolen it away. Stolord currently held the most records for first clears: three times. Furthermore, his party that followed him had stolen away two spots on the first clear leaderboards in the level 10 stage of the game. It made the Blue Brook Guild appear as if they had little face left. As for hidden BOSSes, they could only blame their bad luck on not meeting them. But when they thought about those 10 seconds they were off by, for the first dungeon clear, they could still only throw up blood.
All of the first clears were gone. Blue River and the others all fall into despair.
"Where did this Stolord come from? Have that village's people pay attention." Blue River said somewhat nervously.
That Ye Xiu, who they had an extremely bad impression of, was actually in high spirits. Leaving and entering the dungeon again and again, he was awfully busy. The opening of the tenth server busily and hurriedly passed just like this. Some people were happy while some were worried.
When Chen Guo woke up from her sleep, it was already eleven o'clock, close to noon. She was usually disciplined and rarely slept in. Only yesterday was the opening of the tenth server. Following that guy and watching the excitement, made her sleep in extremely late. Chen Guo calculated the time and found that she had slept for eight hours. Satisfied, she stretched and climbed out of her bed.
Chen Guo lived in the Internet Cafe. To be more precise, she slept in the small room on the second floor, in the same area as Ye Xiu.
Compared with the newcomer Ye Xiu, Chen Guo was extremely familiar with the environment. She had grown up in the Deme-Cybercafé, eating, sleeping, and working there. During her time as a student, instead of returning home like everyone else, she squeezed into the Deme-Cybercafé. For this reason, there were few misunderstandings.
Deme-Cybercafé was her home. Chen Guo had a deep impression of it ever since she was little. Because her parents were like this too, she carefully managed this Deme-Cybercafé as if it were family. When the Deme-Cybercafé was still extremely small, Chen Guo was also still extremely small. Nowadays, her home had grown extremely large, but as for her family, only she remained.
That year, at the time of her college entrance exam, Chen Guo's father suddenly passed away from heart disease.
Chen Guo didn't have a mother, at least, she had no impression of one. After arranging her father's funeral, her family relatives discussed how they would handle the Deme-Cybercafé. When they began talking about what they would do with Chen Guo, without even thinking, Chen Guo threw away her college admission notice and took over the Deme-Cybercafé. Her friends and family held looks of astonishment. She resembled her father and continued to manage the Deme-Cybercafé and look after the home.
In a flash, nine years had already passed.
The current Chen Guo had enough money to buy herself a comfortable living place, but she never had these sorts of thoughts. She felt extremely satisfied living in the Deme-Cybercafé. In the Deme-Cybercafé, she always felt steady and serene. Perhaps this was the feeling of family. Even though she was only one person, she never felt lonely.
"Today's weather is good!" Standing next to the window, Chen Guo looked outside. The silver-white world made the sunlight all the more dazzling.
"Father should go in bathe in it too!" Chen Guo joked. Picking up the picture of her and her dad, she put the picture on the window sill..
After putting on her clothes and washing her face, Chen Guo magically and happily slipped out of the living room. Seeing that the storage room door was already open, she snuck in her head and took a glimpse, but didn't see Ye Xiu.
"Where'd he go?" Chen Guo muttered.
Pulling open the door, Chen Guo immediately entered her Deme-Cybercafé. The Deme-Cybercafé was already filled to the capacity, all because of the opening of Glory's tenth server. After the all-night party left, the early-morning party immediately followed. Every screen had scenes of Glory. Every person wore headphones and laughed or raged into their microphones depending on the circumstance.
Chen Guo went down the stairs and to the front desk. She asked the little sister receptionist on-duty where Ye Xiu went.
The little sister pointed to deep in the Smoking Area.
"He's still playing?" Chen Guo said with great alarm. She quickly walked over there.
The smoking area was a place filled with foul black smoke. Ye Xiu was located in the middle of the main disaster area. Chen Guo furrowed her eyebrows and tried to wave away the smoke. She rushed close to Ye Xiu and lifted his headphones: "Still playing! Are you crazy?"
Ye Xiu turned around at lightning speed and nodded his head, saying "Morning." He immediately turned back and continued making "pa pa" sounds on his keyboard.
Chen Guo sweeped her eyes over the screen: "Spider Cave!"
"Yup."
"What level?"
"17."
Chen Guo was startled. She carefully looked at the screen and saw Stolord's experience bar. The bar was almost full. After this dungeon, he would level up to 18.
At this moment, there were still 20 minutes before 12 o'clock. To reach level 18 in 12 hours, that had to be a new record. Even though the system announcement didn't have these sort of statistics, many players on the forum used these numbers to prove how amazing their leveling speed was.
Chen Guo glanced again and saw clearly Ye Xiu's team mate.
Sleeping Moon? Chen Guo suddenly felt that she had seen this name before. Thinking carefully, she immediately recalled.
"Wasn't this person slandering you last night?" Chen Guo pointed to Sleeping Moon on the party list.
"Yup!"
"Then why are you in a party with him?" Chen Guo couldn't understand.
"Because of his slandering, I couldn't form a party with anyone." Ye Xiu said.
"Who asked you for this reason." Chen Guo grew angry.
"For someone as mature as me, how could I be mad at his slandering?" Ye Xiu laughed.
