A Mage without mana was like a gun without bullets .
“Each of you, take turns sitting down and recovering your mana . Scoundrel, you first!” Nie Yan ordered after thinking for a bit . Like this, they could conserve mana potions .
“Got it!” Undying Scoundrel nodded . He quickly retreated to the side and sat down . He drank some Spring Water and started recovering his mana .
When Undying Scoundrel recovered his mana to full, he immediately stood up and jumped back into the fray . Next up was Summer Bug . One by one, everyone sat out to recover their mana . Though their damage output dipped, their sustainability increased by quite a bit .
Drakuru’s roars reverberated through the chamber . Like a well-oiled machine, Nie Yan’s team fought him from the moment the servers opened until they closed again .
Three days later, Drakuru’s health finally fell to 20% .
With his health falling to critical levels, Drakuru’s rage reached its boiling point . His entire body started glowing an ominous red . He roared out furiously, struggling to break free as his chains made loud clanking noises . The obelisk binding him rocked violently, on the verge of being snapped in two, as small chunks broke off and fell into the lava river below .
Nie Yan and company almost collapsed under the pressure . If Drakuru were to break free from his chains, they would be finished, and all their hard work would go down the drain .
As Drakuru was fiercely pulling at the chains, numerous black runes swirled out into the air before wrapping around the obelisk . It started emitting a dazzling black radiance, which functioned as some sort of reinforcement . Simultaneously, a pained roar escaped Drakuru’s mouth . The chains binding him down tightened significantly, burning into his skin .
“Curse you Morphest! Even in death, you still won’t let me off!” Drakuru howled .
“Everyone, we can do it! He only has 20% health left!” Nie Yan said excitedly after witnessing this scene . A spell was triggered that reinforced the chains and obelisk binding Drakuru!
“Crap . Boss, I’m out of mana potions and Spring Water! I’m also starting to run low on mana!” Undying Scoundrel anxiously cried out .
“I’m out too!”
“Same here!”
…
Even Tang Yao and Xie Yao were short on mana after giving away all their potions to the others .
This time, they were well and truly out . To make matters worse, after Drakuru’s health fell to 20%, his health recovery speed increased by quite a bit . If they didn’t maintain their damage output, his health would slowly rise back up .
“Shit! Boss, what do we do?”
“If I knew this was going to happen, I would’ve brought more mana potions . ”
“What’s the point of regretting this now?”
Everyone felt vexed . Their damage output was about to plummet, and there was nothing they could do about it .
After firing his last spell, Undying Scoundrel helplessly lowered his staff . Glancing at his mana, he didn’t even have enough left to cast something as basic as a lightning ball . He retreated to the side and sat down to recover his mana . However, without any Spring Water, his mana recovery speed was pitifully slow .
Before long, Summer Bug, Lustboy, and most of the others sat down next to Undying Scoundrel . They helplessly gazed at Nie Yan .
With the damage stopping from the Mages, Drakuru’s health started slowly recovering . It went back up to 21% before long, and continued going higher .
Seeing their hard work slowly slipping away, Nie Yan said, “Sun, King of the World, follow me . ”
“Alright . ”
The three Shadow Dancers rushed up to Drakuru’s side and let loose a flurry of attacks with their daggers .
Nie Yan brandished Zennarde’s Sword . After several attacks, one of which critted for over 30,000 damage, Drakuru’s health fell back down to 20% .
In order to cover Nie Yan, Sun, and King of the World, Bladelight activated Bulwark of the War God and repeatedly slammed his greatshield into Drakuru . However, it was to no avail .
Drakuru roared out in a rage . His aggro shifted as he started smashing down with his fist toward Nie Yan . BANG! BANG! BANG!
Nie Yan frantically dodged left and right . However, it was extremely difficult given the small space he had to work with .
Drakuru smashed down with his fist again . Nie Yan hurriedly jumped back to evade, landing right on the edge of the bridge . At the last moment, the fist opened into a palm and slammed down toward him .
There was nowhere left to run . Nie Yan was trapped .
Crap . I guess this is it… Nie Yan inwardly sighed . Sure enough, their struggling was futile . They were destined to wipe .
“No! Big Brother!” Sun cried out .
BOOM! Nie Yan was sent plummeting down into the lava river below . Just as everyone despaired, he suddenly shot out a web line at the bridge . With a hard tug, he looped below the bridge and landed back on the other side .
A shared sigh of relief escaped everyone’s mouths, as they watched Nie Yan land next to them . This action of him nearly gave them a heart attack!
Young Seven waved his staff . A white light fell over Nie Yan, restoring his health back to full .
Drakuru never stopped attacking . With Nie Yan gone, he shifted his focus to Sun and King of the World . Under his furious assault, the two dodged around frantically . He let out a roar and stomped down hard on the ground, creating a powerful shock wave, which sent them flying off the bridge and plunging towards the lava below .
Nie Yan ran to the edge and shot out a web line . It all happened on instinct, there was no time to think . Then, he rolled out of the way . The web line missed . Both King of the World and Sun fell to their deaths in the lava .
Sun was doomed from the start, he was out of range for Nie Yan to save . However, this wasn’t the case for King of the World . Nie Yan did all he could to rescue him, but as the palm of Drakuru came down on him and was about to crush him into a meat patty, he could only roll out of the way and let King of the World fall to his death too, lest all three of them died here .
Drakuru’s health returned to 21% .
“One Strike Vow, Mistaken Smile, come up with me!” Nie Yan said . Even though he knew going up to fight Drakuru was pretty much throwing their lives away, there was no other choice . Besides, the only way out of this instanced world was to either kill this boss or die .
Drakuru suddenly let out a furious roar and started thrusting his palms at Lil’ Gold like a sumo wrestler .
Lil’ Gold was gradually pushed to the edge of the bridge . He fought hard to get back to the center, but Drakuru stubbornly blocked him . THWAP! He was struck by another palm thrust and staggered back . His foot landed off the edge and he lost his balance . Clawing at the bridge with his front paws, he finally plummeted down toward the lava .
Nie Yan was powerless to help . He would only end up getting dragged down with Lil’ Gold if he tried to use the web line . There also wasn’t enough time to unsummon Lil’ Gold back into his pet space . Before he’d get halfway through the chant, Lil’ Gold would’ve been turned into roasted dragon meat .
SPLASH! Lil’ Gold plunged into the lava river . Lil’ Gold has died .
Nie Yan’s heart sunk . With Lil’ Gold dead, they had lost a powerful tank and damage dealer . This uphill battle only grew steeper .
In an instant, all of Drakuru’s aggro was focused on Bladelight, who was gradually being overwhelmed . Just as it looked like he was about to share the same fate as Lil’ Gold, Smoke Stub and Lei Su came rushing over . They pincered Drakuru and tried to draw away his attention . However, Drakuru ignored them and went all out on Bladelight, even critting several times .
Bladelight was forced to the edge of the bridge . One more step, and he would fall into the lava below .
As everyone despaired, Kalenna waved her staff . A white light wrapped around Bladelight, forming a protective barrier .
Drakuru stopped attacking midway and instantly retreated several steps . He appeared to be deathly afraid of the white light wrapped around Bladelight .
Charge!
Bladelight took the opportunity to rush back to the center of the bridge .
BANG! Drakuru’s fist slammed into Bladelight, somewhat hesitatingly .
−552
With the damage Drakuru dealt to him greatly reduced, Bladelight was elated . This meant he could freely attack Drakuru without care!
Kalenna wasn’t done yet . With another wave of her staff, blue rays of light fell over the casters . Their mana quickly started recovering .
“Wow! Mana Recovery +500%!” Tang Yao exclaimed in shock after checking his status . Like this, he would no longer have to worry about running out of mana! As for the others, all they would have to do was sit down for a while, and their mana would be back to full .
Seeing their mana recovering, Tang Yao, Xie Yao, and the others got back up and started attacking Drakuru .
“Everyone, keep up the DPS!”
“Don’t let up!”
Drakuru’s health had already recovered to 25% . To here and no further . With their mana bars quickly filling up, their DPS increased significantly and Drakuru’s health started falling back down again .
Kalenna’s might far exceeded anyone’s imagination . Apart from increasing their mana recovery rate, she had also buffed their various other stats, increasing their damage output by more than 200% .
What a frightening battle angel!
“We can do this! Kill the boss!”
A shower of spells arced through the sky and bombarded Drakuru .
