Chapter 122 A Heavenly Emperor Descends (7)
Before pushing open the stone door and entering the stone chamber, Fei Xue released all the blessing skills attached to the Heavenly Physician to her teammates, then swallowed a high-level MP recovery pill. Before the buff disappeared and when her MP was almost fully recovered, she nodded to the captain, Juesha.
So the group pushed open the stone door and entered the stone chamber.
Dong Zhi Qiu and the violent loli are both ranged attackers, and Fei Xue is a doctor, so the three of them are on the edge of the battle, while Jue Sha, Gui Ling, and Qi Ming Lao Chong Fu are always in the center of the battle.
As the main healer, Fei Xue was very careful while healing, trying to avoid attracting the boss's aggro as a fragile healer.
Despite Fei Xue's extreme caution, she still managed to draw the boss's aggro.
"Rain of Sweet Rain!" Dong Zhi Qiu quickly activated his group healing skill, restoring health to everyone.
Because Dong Zhi Qiu had been attacking the boss and his aggro value was neither high nor low, he was following behind the three main forces. However, this time, the group attack instantly pulled the aggro value to him.
Dong Zhi Qiu quickly dodged and ran towards the center of the battle. It didn't matter if he died now; Fei Xue could revive him. But if he stood next to Fei Xue and the others, who knew if the boss would unleash a group attack?
Even if everyone survives, the pressure to recover health will increase significantly.
As Dong Zhi Qiu dodged, he simultaneously fired his own Rejuvenating Arrows. The feeling of shooting himself was simply wonderful.
Fortunately, although there was a small problem here, Juesha and his team continued their attacks without stopping. Finally, when Dong Zhiqi had 30% health left, the aggro was pulled back.
"Loli, cast Sleep Spell!" Juesha immediately gave the order.
After the kill order was given, both Zero and Naming Old Man stopped attacking. The Violent Loli immediately switched skills: Sleep!
Everyone watched the boss with tense expressions, wondering if the low-probability sleep spell would hit. They held their breath, awaiting the result.
"Lucky!" The violent little girl held up two fingers and made a V-sign.
Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally having a moment to catch their breath.
Juesha checked everyone's health and quickly issued a new order: "Xue, don't worry about Qiu's health for now. You and Qiu together should restore Ling's health to full. The boss only has 5% health left. Loli's Sleep Spell can put the boss to sleep for 30 seconds. 30 seconds may not be much, but it's enough for you to restore Ling's health to full. That way, even if the boss launches a berserk area-of-effect attack later, Ling won't be left with only a sliver of health."
Fei Xue and Dong Zhi Qiu nodded and immediately began healing Gui Ling. Dong Zhi Qiu's single-target Rejuvenation Arrow has a 5-second cooldown, while the group Rain of Rain has a 15-second cooldown, meaning he can cast Rain of Rain twice and Rejuvenation Arrow six times in 30 seconds.
Fei Xue's Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and Compassionate Salvation are two group healing skills. One is a group heal that lasts for 30 seconds, and the other is a regular group heal. The former has a cooldown of 60 seconds or 10 seconds. She also has two single-target heals: one is a miraculous hand that restores a fixed amount of healing, and the other is a benevolent heart that restores 15% of the target's health. One has a cooldown of 3 seconds, and the other has a cooldown of 10 seconds.
"Zero, you stay with Zhi Qiu and the others for a moment. Don't attack the boss. Save your MP and wait until the boss goes berserk and launches a group attack. After we all pounce on it, then use Immovable Mountain! If you can hold out for two or three rounds, we'll have a chance to turn the tide."
Immovable as a Mountain, the ultimate defensive skill for Blood Warriors, grants unwavering stability. While not granting invincibility, this skill increases the player's defense by 300%. However, for Blood Warriors who already have low MP, this skill consumes an excessive amount of MP; without careful MP management, it's practically unusable.
After the boss goes berserk, its health will increase by 5%, its attack will double, but its defense will decrease, and its attack skills will be adjusted to single-target attacks.
With a defense buff of 300% reduced to zero, it can easily withstand two rounds against a boss with a 200% attack buff.
In two rounds, Dong Zhi Qiu can revive himself and Fei Xue. Fei Xue can then revive another teammate. The team should refrain from attacking for now. Because Gui Ling has been in a defensive stance and hasn't actively attacked the boss, Fei Xue and Dong Zhi Qiu's healing of Gui Ling won't draw the boss's aggro. After 30 seconds, when Gui Ling's "Unmoving Mountain" skill expires, the three of them should be almost out of health. Meanwhile, Dong Zhi Qiu and Fei Xue's resurrection spells will be almost off cooldown. At this point, they can begin attacking; good coordination will allow them to revive both teammates in time.
After the boss goes berserk, it's not difficult for six people to defeat it.
"Qiu, revive Fei immediately after you revive. Fei, revive Loli immediately after you revive. Loli, after you revive, don't attack the boss, but use witchcraft to deal with it, to reduce the boss's attributes and help Zero reduce the defensive pressure. Also, when Zero's Immovable Mountain effect is about to expire, Loli, try the Sleep spell again. See if you can put the boss to sleep to buy time for our revival and healing. If it works this time, then our chance to turn the tide will be 100%."
"This... is too difficult!" the violent loli said with little confidence. "After all, getting hit by the boss once this time is already like stepping in shit. Getting hit twice is impossible with my luck. But I'll try. Just in case I get lucky!"
"Fei's resurrection skill has a slightly shorter cooldown than Qiu's, so you must be clear about your resurrection target. Fei, you revive the named character, then continue healing everyone; don't wait for me. Qiu, you revive me. Then switch to attack support. Does everyone understand?"
With a deafening crash, the boss collapsed, and a bold, large red system notification appeared in the world chat: Congratulations to players Juesha, Luoyuzhiqiuyi, Qiminglaofuzhong, Baoli Luoli, Feixue, and Guiling for achieving the first kill of the Nine-Layered Tower. Juesha and the other four players are rewarded with 1000 reputation points and experience points each.
Finally, they fell! Fei Xue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then looked at everyone excitedly and said, "I leveled up! I made up for all the levels I lost these past few days, and I even leveled up!"
Players like Juesha and Feixue, who have reached level 90, find it very difficult to level up again. Those who can level up simply by defeating a boss are even rarer.
Dong Zhi Qiu checked his level and said, "I'm already level 59."
"Not bad." Juesha nodded in satisfaction and walked towards the boss's corpse.
Fei Xue suddenly slammed the scepter in her hand down at Jue Sha: "Jue Hei Zi, you damned bastard, you purple-to-black, black-to-purple freak! What do you think you're doing? You're not allowed to touch the corpse!"
The violent loli even accidentally cast a delay spell on Juesha.
Gui Ling, completely disregarding his image, clung to Jue Sha's leg, tears streaming down his face, and pleaded with Dong Zhi Qiu, "Sister-in-law, please control your brother. If you're going to be ruthless, don't betray your brothers. This is something we risked our lives for, don't let your brother touch it!"
"Sister-in-law, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go touch the corpse!" Old Man Qi quickly pushed Dong Zhi Qiu, who was standing there with a black line on his face.
"I'm not your sister-in-law!"
"We know, we know," everyone said in unison, looking at Dong Zhi Qiu with knowing expressions.
"really not……"
