MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Rhythm of the Battle
 

Because two people had been reprimanded, it immediately put many people on edge, causing everyone to take the task seriously, without the slightest bit of negligence.

As a result, the team became even more organised. Putting aside the honour, the lure of equipment dropped by the level twenty main storyline boss was immense.

Everyone had witnessed the fight at the dungeon entrance days ago, and they had seen the power of new equipment.

Those players were able to fight against top professional gamers with the aid of these items, and even though they lost more than they won, it showcased the terrifying power of the equipment.

The two or three pieces of new equipment they obtained aroused everyone’s desire. Now, the punishment for mistakes was being barred from equipment rolls, and this was taken to heart.

“Everyone pay attention, immediately rearrange yourselves, the boss’s charge skill is ready, and it may be released at any moment.”

With Li Yao’s guidance, the guild members gradually adapted to the rhythm of the battles. They found that as long as they followed Li Yao’s commands, they could survive with just a bit of extra caution.

The boss’s health was steadily decreasing. However, there were more and more dark grey marks on the ground, reducing their room for maneuver.

“It’s terrifying. In such a short time, he has grasmed the boss’s rhythm. The boss’s health is around 30%, and we only lost five team members, even though it’s our second time fighting.” Unparalleled Siren whispered in the elder’s channel.

Dopey Danni asked puzzledly: “What’s the issue? We cleared it on the first try last time. Plus, didn’t you see how powerful big brother’s pet is? This is not surprising. Just big brother and his pets have terrifying damage output. It’s not a problem if we lost a few damage dealers.”

Unparalleled Siren replied: “I didn’t mean that. His pets are naturally powerful. There’s no doubt about that. I was saying his grasp of the boss’s rhythm is too uncanny and frightening. Didn’t you notice? He can even predict what the boss will do next and makes arrangements ahead of time. Without that, we absolutely could not be this relaxed.”

Guardian Angel said: “I’m used to it already, but I can relate to what you’re saying. You have no idea – he makes leading us through dungeons or boss fights seem effortless with no pressure or difficulty. But as soon as I take on the role of leading a raid after he clears it once, despite having detailed strategic guides and already having gotten past the dungeon, there’s no avoiding a complete wipe, which really depresses me.”

Unparalleled Siren said: “This is a matter of controlling the pace. While it could be due to his spiritual power, that’s not entirely the case. Having him lead us saves us a lot of time spent on coordination. I was confused about how an unfamiliar team with novices could get the level 10 dungeon’s First Kill, but now I understand. With him in command, there’s basically no need for coordination. His control over the pace is truly terrifying.”

While they were talking, Li Yao was commanding them to spread out and regroup, thereby avoiding the boss’s skills each time.

Considering that Unparalleled Siren and the others were still able to chat so casually during their damage output, the fight should not be too taxing for them.

When the boss’s health dropped to around 25%, the Warlord’s longsword slammed into the ground, causing it to tremble.

“Mortals, experience Divine Power.”

The War Energy spread out.

Just as everyone was watching the boss and observing the effects of the new skill, a large amount of fog spewed forth from the death marks on the ground.

All of a sudden, the health of the players who were close to the death marks, though not directly standing on them, started to drop rapidly.

The healers couldn’t keep up at all, and players began falling incessantly.

Almost simultaneously, a large number of frail players collapsed to the ground, with no opportunity to heal them.

The output of the Starfire Guild decreased by more than half instantly. The entire team was reduced to less than six people.

“Ignore those who are dead, continue with the damage output, and try to force out his last skill.” Li Yao’s voice was still steady, without a hint of fluctuation.

The remaining members of the Starfire Guild continued to kill the boss under Li Yao’s command until the boss’s health was at 10%. The frequency of the boss’s skill releases increased, most damage dealers were dead, and only Li Yao, Li Jie, and Unparalleled Siren remained. The only tank left was Fruit Knight, who was resurrected with “Revive”. Only two healers remained.

“Let’s wipe, and we’ll battle again next time.” After Li Yao finished speaking, he didn’t dodge the skill and was killed directly by the boss’s charge.

The other few people didn’t say anything either. They didn’t dodge the skill and were killed directly by the boss.

“Guildmaster, the boss’s health was less than 10%. You guys should have been able to take it down with your current damage output. Why did you give up?” Newbie Mu Zi asked.

In fact, many of the guild members realized that although there were not many people left, all of them were experts, almost without any errors. From their point of view, they could finish off the remaining health pretty quickly.

Before Li Yao could say anything, Li Jie responded, “Why? Of course it’s because of you guys. The Guildmaster is trying to cultivate a real team, not a one-man show. Didn’t you notice the Guildmaster was holding back? He didn’t have his pets contribute to the damage output. Did you really think he didn’t use the spider tank because it was too big?”

Li Yao waved his hand and said, “Why are you saying all this?”

Unparalleled Siren said: “I think there is no need to hide it from everyone, it’s better to be clear about it. As you all saw just now, thanks to the Guildmaster’s command, it was very easy for us. But that’s not what the Guildmaster wants. He wants a team that can break through. He joins us for a fight under his command, but after that, we have to depend on ourselves. With your current conditions, do you think you can defeat this boss?”

Li Yao interrupted Unparalleled Siren, saying: “You’re exaggerating. I just feel like we should grow together. Everyone take a break. We’re going to continue. However, remember this when the boss’s health is below 30%. Be extra careful with your positioning and keep a safe distance from the Dark Grey Marks to give Fruit and Side Table the opportunity to cast their combo skill to heal the team.”

“Understood.” The guild members felt a bit ashamed, as they absolutely couldn’t keep up with Li Yao’s pace. Although they couldn’t dodge the War Energy, why were there still a good number of people who survived?

Then the Starfire team regrouped and started the boss fight again. This time was even smoother than the last one. They only lost one member before the boss went into the War Energy spread out stage again.

Even when the War Energy spread out this time, there were only three squishy members lost.

The Warlord’s health was steadily decreasing, reaching around 5%. Despite the boss’s skills being ferocious and fast-paced, Li Yao still managed to grasp the rhythm. Plus, after wiping twice, they could carry out Li Yao’s commands quickly and effectively.

The people from Starfire were excited, ready to welcome the moment when the boss fell…
