Chapter 81: Chapter 81: S-Class Skills, Unmatched Power!
After leaving the Dragon Jungle, Zhang Yue continued his journey toward the City of Destruction.
On the way, a Fly-Message from Liu Yao suddenly popped up: "Boss, help! I'm in trouble!"
Seeing this all-too-familiar plea, Zhang Yue couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly. "You're always getting into trouble."
Meanwhile, in the City of Destruction.
Roar!
With a fierce dragon's roar, two massive dragons, one blazing with purple ghostfire and the other with blue, swept through the skies over the city.
Within the city, Su Jingyan, a Level 28 Forbidden Mage, waved her staff to cast a spell, her eyes blazing as she tracked the two dragons. She barked orders to the surrounding members of Misty Rain Pavilion, "Archers, target the one with low physical defense on the left! Mages, hit the one with low magic resistance on the right!"
Nearby, the members of the Supreme Guild turned to Liu Yao for guidance. "President, what's our plan?"
Liu Yao, a Level 27 Sword and Shield Warrior, surveyed the battlefield and raised his sword, shouting, "Follow Misty Rain Pavilion's lead!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Boom! Boom!
Both guilds—over three hundred professionals—had gathered to take on the dragons. About seventy archers and mages locked onto the two massive dragons, launching wave after wave of ranged attacks.
Arrows engulfed in flames and radiant magic spheres arced through the air, striking the dragons' massive bodies. However, only two or three digits of damage appeared above their heads!
In the next instant, both dragons opened their massive, gaping jaws.
Roar! Roar!
Purple and blue flames rained down from the sky, engulfing a huge area of the city, incinerating rows of mages and archers from both guilds in an instant.
With damage reaching over a thousand points, a dozen players were turned into white light in seconds.
"President, these two dragons are like one entity, they're way too strong!"
"No wonder they're both here! It's nearly impossible to handle them together!"
"What if we split them up with Misty Rain Pavilion handling one? Separate them and take them down one by one?"
"The problem is they're practically glued together like they're held with superglue. We can't get them apart!"
Liu Yao gave the back of Li Xiaoyao's head a firm smack and said, "Hang in there! My big bro will be here soon!"
Li Xiaoyao blinked in confusion. "Yao-ge, why'd you hit me?"
"It hurts if I hit myself!"
Just as they spoke, Zhang Yue appeared from behind.
Seeing Misty Rain Pavilion and Supreme Guild struggling even with their combined efforts, Zhang Yue's gaze shifted to the two dragons circling above.
He immediately identified them as two Level 32, 3-Star bosses: the Magic Dragon with insane magical prowess, and the Battle Dragon, built for pure physical destruction!
Ordinarily, with the power of Misty Rain Pavilion and Supreme combined, they should've had a good shot at winning. The real challenge, though, was that these two bosses had a unique skill—Unified Duality: when the Magic Dragon and Battle Dragon are within 300 meters of each other, both their attack and defense are boosted by 30%!
This effectively made them as powerful as a single 4-Star boss.
As soon as Liu Yao saw Zhang Yue, he shouted excitedly, "Our Master Nuker is here! These dragons are as good as dead!"
On the other side, Su Jingyan called out to Zhang Yue, "Be careful of the purple Magic Dragon's high magic resistance! Let's focus on the blue Battle Dragon first!"
Zhang Yue, casually hefting his staff over his shoulder like a greatsword, replied, "No worries, I'll handle both of them."
He could tell that both dragons were corrupted members of the Light Clan.
With his identity as a Dark Clan member, taking down Light Clan bosses...
Was there a problem?
No problem!
At this point, Li Xiaoyao, still unaware that Zhang Yue had completed his second advancement, adjusted his glasses and analyzed carefully, "Zhang Yue, I've calculated your stats. You can probably solo one of these 3-Star bosses without breaking a sweat, but with both combined and that Unified Duality boost, it'll be tough to handle them both."
Just as Li Xiaoyao finished, Zhang Yue raised his Necromancer's Staff, locking onto the blue Battle Dragon.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
S-Class Heaven's Fury!
S-Class Icebound World!
S-Class Thunderstrike!
Thanks to his incredible agility stat of 161, Zhang Yue cast spells in rapid succession.
A massive fireball, big enough to scorch the heavens, an immense wave of icy spikes, and a bolt of annihilating lightning crashed into the Battle Dragon all at once!
-2740! -411 Burn!
-2666! Freeze!
-3077! Paralyze!
The combined assault dealt a staggering 8800+ damage in an instant, instantly shaving thirteen percent off the Battle Dragon's health bar!
Meanwhile, even the purple Magic Dragon, which wasn't directly targeted, suffered from 411 burn damage per second, along with slow and paralyze effects!
The display left the members of Misty Rain Pavilion and Supreme Guild utterly shocked!
"That damage is insane!"
"Is that… the power of S-Class skills?!"
"He already completed his second advancement?"
"Wait, how did he max out his skills to S-Class so soon after his second advancement?!"
While both guilds were still in shock, Zhang Yue had already locked onto both dragons and unleashed another wave of attacks.
With a barrage of S-Class skills dealing two to three thousand damage with each hit, the dragons' health bars plummeted under his relentless assault!
Encouraged, the two guilds rallied and coordinated their attacks with Zhang Yue. In less than ten minutes, both bosses were slain!
Zhang Yue listened carefully for the system notification.
But aside from the usual rewards for defeating the bosses, there was nothing special.
"Too bad, didn't trigger Soul Harvest," he sighed softly.
As for the loot? Zhang Yue couldn't care less.
With all the mission rewards he'd gathered over the past few days, Zhang Yue already had a full set of Level 30, 3-Star equipment.
But his 2-Star Necromancer Set was simply too powerful.
Sure, the 3-Star set had slightly better base stats, but the Necromancer Set's skills—like a -1 second cooldown reduction and summoning boosts essential for a Beast Tamer—were far beyond what a 3-Star set could offer!
At the very least, the Necromancer Set could serve him until he got his hands on a 4-Star set, so he dismissed the 3-Star loot without a second thought.
The incredible power Zhang Yue displayed as a second-advancement professional left everyone in Misty Rain Pavilion and Supreme Guild inspired.
They were all fired up, setting their sights on their second advancements, determined to fight even harder against dragons!
Liu Yao and Su Jingyan, meanwhile, stuck with Zhang Yue, teaming up once more in their "unofficial" party.
"Honestly, bro, with your strength, you could breeze through the city-level qualifiers with your eyes closed!"
"So, what do you say, bro? Why not join our Supreme Guild? We'll dominate the Professional Championships and wipe out the War God Guild and Infinite Guild, taking the top spot in Zhe Ning Province!"
In the past, Su Jingyan would have fought with Liu Yao to recruit Zhang Yue.
But now, she remained silent.
She'd become self-aware, realizing that with Zhang Yue's strength, he was beyond the reach of their Misty Rain Pavilion, even as a top-five guild in the province.
At that moment, Li Xiaoyao suddenly shared a piece of shocking news: "I just saw online that about ten minutes ago, War God Guild's Fourth Group was completely wiped out by a mysterious team of professionals! Even their guild master, War God Sky Judgment, an Epic-tier Thunder Mage, wasn't spared!"
"Hah! That's karma! Got what they deserved!" Liu Yao chuckled, clearly delighted. "Someone must've had enough of their nonsense, and honestly, they did an amazing job!"
Su Jingyan frowned slightly, pondering aloud, "Who would dare openly challenge War God Guild, the second-largest guild in Zhe Ning Province?"
As soon as she said it, everyone's gaze shifted to Zhang Yue.
"There's no need for that," Zhang Yue replied. "If I wanted to go after them, I would've done it long ago. No need to wait until now."
"Then who could it be? War God Guild is so powerful, yet they got wiped out!"
Liu Yao shrugged it off. "Who cares who did it? If I find out, I'll make sure they get a statue in their honor!"
"Right! If we can keep War God down, Supreme Guild will have an even better shot at taking second place in the provincial rankings!"
Zhang Yue fell silent.
Ten minutes ago...
Wasn't that right after he'd left the Dragon Jungle?
He brushed off the thought. After all, what did War God Guild's fate have to do with him?
And with that, Zhang Yue returned to his mission, [Battle Against the Light].
With his stats boosted and his skills upgraded from the second advancement, Zhang Yue found it even easier to slay Level 32 dragons!
A task he'd estimated would take all morning was easily finished by 10:30 a.m.
Zhang Yue headed to the Dark Hall to find Goya and submit his mission.
After receiving his reward of 30 trust points…
"Ding! Congratulations, the Dark Clan leader Goya's trust level toward you has reached Level 5! Trust level has maxed out!"
Just as Zhang Yue thought he'd completed all tasks in this realm and was ready to move on from Goya and the Dark Clan...
Goya suddenly spoke, "Warrior, you've been with the Dark Clan for some time now. I've seen how committed you are to helping us combat the Light Clan."
He continued, "Now, I have a special mission for you. If you can complete this task, I will bestow upon you the highest honor of our Dark Clan!"
At this, Zhang Yue recalled something Goya had once mentioned—a promise that, when the time was right, he would grant Zhang Yue a supreme honor from the Dark Dragon Clan.
So, it seemed reaching Trust Level 5 meant that time had come.
Zhang Yue asked, "What is the mission?"
