Sacred Souls: Genesis

Chapter 69: Chapter 68: The Rapid Strategy Group (Please Recommend!!!)

“Holy, remember to give the whole team shields! Don’t stop using the Qi Gong Wind Breath!”

Mo Shigui led nearly fifty-three members of the frontline strategy team from the Dancing Nuclear Guild in a swift assault across the battlefield.

This kind of instance battlefield was something they had fought in disputes many times, and they had faced off against other players.

These fifty-three players led by Mo Shigui were core members of the Dancing Nuclear Guild, and all their actions were directed by Mo Shigui’s voice commands.

“Don’t get entangled with the minor monsters on the battlefield! It’s pointless!” Mo Shigui used his shield to knock away a zombie that charged at him.

But in that instant, a peal of thunder erupted in front of him; Mo Shigui raised his shield to block the thunderous strike, but the impact from the thunder still sent him flying three meters away.

Mo Shigui’s health dropped by one-tenth in an instant.

“You are the finest of the invaders.”

The Lion Heart Knight, holding a long spear, appeared in front of the entire strategy team of the Dancing Nuclear Guild.

Not many spirits on the battlefield could break through the army of zombies’ defensive line, and the Dancing Nuclear Guild was definitely one of the fastest groups. If they kept advancing, they could pose a threat to the city walls.

“Damn it, damn it! Guild Leader! Isn’t this the penultimate boss of the instance? Why is it coming for us right as we enter the instance?”

Upon seeing a figure in golden armor, splendid and majestic, in short looking like a golden limited edition version of Lu Bu,

As a Gun Master, Ionzee knew he was definitely not a Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, or a Guan Yu; moreover, this ‘Lu Bu’ wasn’t something that could be dealt with by just the three heroes.

It would probably take at least a hundred elite fighters to have a chance to take him down.

The intelligence feedback from Ionzee’s reconnaissance technique made him instantly waver.

‘Queen’s Guard · Lion Heart Sigel, Level: 68, Elite Lord, HP 7534350/7534350…’

A whole seven million health points! You have to understand that in the game Saint Spirit, the damage numbers haven’t inflated to the point where players could deal millions and millions in damage. Normally, players dealing damage over two thousand would be considered using a special move.

The elites of the Dancing Nuclear Guild might be hitting slightly higher.

But when they ventured into hero-level instances and fought the Black Dragon Princess, her total HP was only about one million three hundred thousand.

And the Black Dragon Princess of the hero level once wiped out the elite strategy team of the Dancing Nuclear Guild during their first attempt at the instance.

“Didn’t you read the official description? This world instance is dynamic,” Mo Shigui said.

“A dynamic instance doesn’t mean the final boss should be put at the beginning, right?” Ionzee saw the Lion Heart Knight brandishing his spear, summoning thunder; it looked like he was planning to unleash a screen-clearing power move right from the start.

“Isn’t it just seven Black Dragon Princesses? Guild Leader! Let’s do it!” Tonight Your Mom Will Surely Die seemed to be fearless.

If Mo Shigui hadn’t held that boss distribution meeting, they might have gone straight for this Lion Heart Knight, but now their target was the Wolf Knight situated in the city’s dungeon.

“Hey, Bubble! Your boss is over here!” Mo Shigui switched channels and started calling the leader of the Cola Fanatic Guild.

“Coming, coming! From the 7 o’clock direction!”

While Mo Shigui was communicating with other guilds, the Lion Heart Knight’s spear, carrying thunderous force, swung down towards Mo Shigui, who promptly raised his shield and took up a defensive stance. Buffed by various boosts, he took the hit.

But the cost of taking the hit was a drop of fifty percent of his HP.

“Guild Leader, Xue Luo got one-shotted!”

“Peach Blossom Gentleman also got one-shotted.”

The moment Mo Shigui blocked the hit, cries rang out from the guild channel.

Mo Shigui glanced at the bottom right corner of his game UI, where in the crowded guild team groups, four had already disconnected and turned gray.

The thunderous strike from the Lion Heart Knight was a wide-range AOE skill, and the thunder that exploded from Mo Shigui’s shield instantly wiped out several of the nearby squishy classes.

“I’ve brought Xue Luo back to life, Boss, do we continue the fight?”

In less than a second, the three Priestesses at the head of the team released the Resurrection Technique, reviving the three fallen members.

The Resurrection Technique is a skill most Priest class jobs have, regardless of which advanced class was chosen, they could master one or two such techniques. However, from a game perspective, it’s quite a lackluster ability.

That’s because the cooldown time for the Resurrection Technique is usually long. If used during combat, the cooldown typically ranges from five to ten minutes, and it doesn’t eliminate death penalties—in fact, it might increase them. If equipment durability is supposed to drop, it will, and if the Corpse Curse is supposed to take effect, it still will.

The most a Resurrection Technique does is save one the time it takes to run back after dying. @@novelbin@@

Yet, this was extremely important for a top-tier raid team.

“Old Song, I’m coming…” Mo Shigui heard the voice of the Cola Fanatic Guild’s leader. At that moment, the Lion Heart Knight seemed to sense something too, and he abruptly looked up to see a Mage suddenly raising an arm skyward.

A massive wall of thunder, formed as he waved his arm, materialized in an instant, and as he swept his arm the second time, this wall of thunder hurtled toward the Lion Heart Knight at lightning speed.

Thunder Light Barrier.

A skill of the Elemental Master’s advanced class, the Elemental Bomber.

The leader of the Cola Fanatic Guild, Qi Pao, was an Elemental Bomber. The difference between this job and the regular Elemental Master lies in the Elemental Master’s path of mastering and manipulating elements, while the Elemental Bomber’s approach is much more blunt, treating elements like one-time-use weapons… like bombs to be released…

The price for the high damage of this job is immense Magic Power consumption. If one isn’t careful about MP recovery, just one or two high-level skills could deplete the player’s MP.

-57.

The Thunder Light Barrier flashed across the Lion Heart Knight, whose strong resistance to thunder meant his health barely decreased.

“An interesting way to use Magic, but this is as far as it goes,” commented the Lion Heart Knight, admiring the Mage’s use of thunder elements. Just as the Lion Heart Knight was about to unleash his own thundering counterattack,

Qi Pao didn’t stop casting his spells. Dark black magic elements appeared again in his hands. The pitch-black Magic Power elements seemed to immobilize the Lion Heart Knight on the spot, but with a swing of his spear, the Lion Heart Knight shattered all the elements.

“Another BOSS that’s immune to immobilization checks?” Qi Pao didn’t have much time to curse. Mo Shigui seized the opportunity to lead the members of his Dancing Nuclear Guild past the Lion Heart Knight, running towards the castle wall.

The Lion Heart Knight turned to intercept the members of the Dancing Nuclear Guild.

“Old Song! The BOSS’s aggro is on you.” Qi Pao hurriedly reminded Mo Shigui over voice chat.

“Haven’t you read the instance description? The BOSS doesn’t have aggro. Their targets change based on the battle situation. If you want that Lion Heart Ring, it’s best to stop him.”

“Such a pain! Warrior squadron, stop that BOSS; use any taunting skills you have, quick!”

As Qi Pao gave orders through voice chat, he gathered a highly condensed orb of Magic Power in his hands while an item called a Magic Stone in his inventory was rapidly being used up.

“Boss! It’s not responding to taunts!” A Shield Warrior named Can shouted after striking his shield to use a taunting skill, only to find the Lion Heart Knight completely ignored him.

“Let me think… Hey, big kitty!” In a moment of quick thinking, Qi Pao suddenly remembered the official website’s description of the Lion Heart Knight and shouted at him, “Your Queen Mei is amazing!”

The Lion Heart Knight stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at Qi Pao. At that moment, Qi Pao inexplicably felt a palpitation…

What the heck? The leader of the Cola Fanatic Guild scared by a BOSS’s glare?

But this verbal taunt worked much better than the Shield Warrior’s taunting skill!

“Who’s the best at trash-talking in our guild?” Qi Pao urgently called out on the voice channel.

“It’s Caffeine, right? Isn’t he our guild’s trash-talk king?”

“Quick, get Caffeine over here to shout at that BOSS! Stabilize the aggro first!” As Qi Pao shouted, a lightning spear had already pierced through his chest, and before he could even release his skill, he turned into a tombstone, dead.

“What… were you saying about Queen Mei just now?” The Lion Heart Knight was already enveloped in a mass of thunder.

“Oh my God! The leader’s trash-talk advanced the BOSS to the second phase!”

“Can you guys stop joking around? Where are the Priests? The BOSS one-shot the leader!”
