Chapter 54: Such Good Teamwork

“Prepare for battle…” Th.o.r.n.yRose said, pulling out her longsword. She lowered her body and frowned. Had it come back?

Zhang ZhengXiong raised his crystal s.h.i.+eld, and held his warhammer tightly. Everyone stared at the entrance to the bas.e.m.e.nt.

Ye Cang also slowly drew his two-handed sword. Friendly fire was too likely in this sort of cramped s.p.a.ce, it would be better to use a melee weapon.

FrozenBlood felt her body give off a danger signal. It was the sixth sense she’d obtained after many years of training and it was very accurate. She quickly rolled to the side.

The moment she rolled, everyone heart a Bang~ Clatter~ from above them. A huge wolf hand tore through the ceiling and grabbing at the place FrozenBlood had just escaped from. If she didn’t have her sixth sense, she would have been plucked by her head. SpyingBlade quickly estimated, looking at that solid but slender arm, that this werewolf was at least twice as big as the others.

Lin Le faced the arm and chopped at it with his heavy axe causing a burst of blood. The people nearby also took this chance to launch an attack, causing quite a bit of damage to the arm. A b.e.s.t.i.a.l cry of pain could be heard upstairs. It quickly pulled its arm back.

After attacking, Th.o.r.n.yRose saw it pull back it’s arm and she quickly retreated from the hole in the ceiling and shouted: “Spread out! It should be coming down now!”

Everyone retreated and looked around, especially at the hole in the ceiling.

A red pair of eyes with an ominous glint appeared at the entrance. Everyone’s heart jumped, it’s coming! A black figure pounced over. It was so tall that it almost reached the bas.e.m.e.nt ceiling. It lowered it’s stance and stared at them with it’s fierce eyes.

Black Werewolf - Tayce (Rare - Boss)

Zhang ZhengXiong shouted out vigorously and directly rushed over. His crystal s.h.i.+eld blocked a claw attack, numbing his s.h.i.+eld arm. Such a terrifying strength. His physical resistance was so high, but he was still pushed back leaving him unsteady.

The 8 people formed a circle and faced Tayce and they simultaneously began attacking violently. Th.o.r.n.yRose charged in to fill Zhang ZhengXiong’s spot. Her sword set ablaze and slashed forwards. FrozenCloud was on her right side a.n.a.lyzing Tayce’s movements, planning to counter him. FrozenBlood, SpyingBlade, and Ye Cang also started their attacks. On the other side, GreenDew had already started casting magic missile.

Tayce stopped Th.o.r.n.yRose’s burning slash with it’s bare hand. It’s other hand grabbed towards FrozenBlood. FrozenBlood slightly leaned her body, causing it to miss. Her daggers stabbed into it’s waist. SpyingBlade circled around it and leapt, activating his hooked saber’s ability. A ferocious stab pierced into the back of it’s neck. Ye Cang charged over with big steps before suddenly stopping. His dark red sword thrust forwards like a flash, piercing into it’s throat and instantly pulling out, bringing with it a fountain of blood. All these attacks cause it to howl in pain and anger. Lin Le had also left a b.l.o.o.d.y scar on it’s chest.

Zhang ZhengXiong also leapt back in at this time. His warhammer swung out twice, beating on it’s forehead. The sound of cracking bones could be heard. He then activated his hammer’s ability, stunning it. GreenDew’s magic missile arrived and smashed into it’s chest. She waved her wand and a wind blade quickly followed. Then the pages on her apprentice’s tome flipped and countless icicles shot forwards. All of them hit accurately. SpyingBlade raised his eyebrows impressed. This chain of magic had a really good rhythm, it wasn’t rushed or too slow.

Having suffered so much beating, Tayce couldn’t stop screaming in pain. It let out a terrifying howl that echoed off the bas.e.m.e.nt walls, further amplifying it. Everyone felt a burst of dizziness. Zhang ZhengXiong was a bit better off, since he added mostly Const.i.tution. His ability to resist was the best in the party, but he still felt a bit weakened. Who knew the boss still had a crowd control skill, and it actually became stronger in this environment.

A cold light flashed in it’s eyes and it’s claws attacked repeatedly. FrozenBlood, SpyingBlade, Ye Cang and Lin Le all barely managed to block it, but they were still sent flying like kites that had their strings cut. They had lost most of their health from that one blow. Th.o.r.n.yRose grit her teeth and stabbed towards its chest with her longsword. Looking at the back hand blow coming towards her, she raised her s.h.i.+eld at an angle and was sent flying upwards. She landed, regained her balance, and readied her s.h.i.+eld again. GreenDew’s spell had been interrupted, and while the roar still echoed through the room, she was unable to concentrate enough to begin casting again.

Tayce huffed and fixed its sight on the distant GreenDew. That Mage has to die! It started making it’s way over while swinging it’s two claws. Zhang ZhengXiong quickly blocked it but was knocked away. At the same time, he activated his ring’s ability. A light flashed. It was also affected by the environment and looked especially dazzling in this dark bas.e.m.e.nt. Tayce wailed, covering it’s stinging eyes, it’s vision covered in white.

Lin Le was standing close by, and the echoes had finally settled. He quickly leapt over with his battle axe, taking Zhang ZhengXiong’s position. His heavy axe chopped down towards its head with a heavy strike, but it went slightly off course hitting it’s shoulder blade. He quickly backed up a few steps. Tayce’s blood throbbed and it regained its vision. It saw Lele in front of it. It’s eyes flashed red and it pounced towards him. Lin Le quickly activated his axe’s ability. A flame shot out and stopped Tayce mid attack, but Tayce held it’s ground until the skill ended. It stared at Lin Le even more resentful. It took a big stride, and it’s right claw slashed down at him. Lin Le figured it was time, his two eyes started looking towards the bridge of his nose, becoming cross-eyed.

Everyone saw Tayce freeze as it was about to hit Lin Le, it’s two red eyes full of confusion like it was asking “Why am I here? Ah!? My eyes are so weird.”

“Everyone stop attacking. On my count!” Ye Cang said and switched places with Lin Le.

“So it turned out that this skill was Lele’s” the others thought. It was even a mental gaze type, as it seemed to require eye-contact. Such a rare skill. If his opponents don’t look in his eyes, they would lose quite a bit of battle power because wisdom alone isn’t enough to tell intent. Alot can be gleaned from the opponents expressions through their eyes.

Ye Cang saw that everyone was about ready. GreenDew’s spell was also about to be cast. He started counting: “3, 2, 1!”

His two hands held his sword as he stepped forwards and slashed, waking up Tayce from it’s confusion. He then activated his shoulder guard’s ability, slamming into it’s chin! Tayce’s body was pushed slightly back. Ye Cang then took his two-handed which glowed a red light, and performed another straight thrust right at its throat.

Th.o.r.n.yRose’s longsword stabbed towards it’s heart from behind. The magic missiles exploded on it’s chest. SpyingBlade and FrozenBlood’s weapons struck, bringing a spurt of blood. They then quickly moved away for Lin Le who was charging over, his axe chopped towards it’s waist, firmly chopping into it. Zhang ZhengXiong who had been waiting for his chance leapt over and smashed his warhammer onto it’s head, finis.h.i.+ng it off.

“Congratulations. You’ve slain the Black Werewolf - Tayce. Receive 650 experience.”
