Chapter 937: Isera
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The person who was resurrected by the Dark Resurrection Spell would have their strength doubled, but the price was that the resurrected player would die after the duration had elapsed. Even if Li Yi had the Sacramental Stone, he could not be resurrected again. The effect was irreversible.
Not just that, Li Yi would not be able to unequip his equipment since all of them would become part of the curse. He could only return to normal once he respawned at the Temple.
Sister Windcloud Nine’s simple gesture would make Li Yi die a certain death…
“I, I, I didn’t mean it…”
Looking at her naturally innocent face, Li Yi could not reproach her.
The Cursed Wing dropped a purple-colored plate armor which was taken by an Armored Warrior in his party.
“Carry on the fight, we shall not rest!” Li Yi ordered.
Having been cursed by the Dark Resurrection Spell, he wanted to use this advantage against the boss rather than simply dying.
The main battlefield of the Winged Ruler’s Spirit, the final boss of the Wings of the Sky, was located in the skies. It was not easy to defeat, and the key was to master the correct strategy.
The Winged Ruler’s Spirit was gargantuan, almost the same as the Black Dragon Princess in her normal state. When it rose from its tomb to the air, its transparent soul would gradually grow white feathers until it covered its entire body. When that happened, it would be revived. It would also mean that their attempt was a failure.
Defeat the Winged Ruler’s Spirit before it could fully grow its white feathers, and it would count as a victory.
The whole process would take only ten minutes, and the HP of the Winged Ruler’s Spirit was 5 billion!
This was a comprehensive battle to test the party’s DPS, main tanks, healers, and teamwork.
“The Winged Ruler is extremely big. In the first few minutes, it will be colorless and transparent in and out, so we can still see each other even if we are separated. When the white feathers start to gather, its body will turn solid and our vision will start to be obscured. When that happens, make sure to aim carefully.”
“The Winged Ruler has many tricks up its sleeves. Among them, three skills are the most difficult to prevent. One is the Stray Feather Arrows. This is an attack on everyone and can’t be avoided. We will require constant healing in that case.”
“The second is the Star Shattering Arrow. When it is activated, the Winged Ruler will charge itself up for three seconds before firing. The attack is fatal, and we must avoid it”
“The third is Energy Absorption. The Winged Ruler will randomly pick someone and suck that person into its stomach to increase its ability. The rest outside the stomach must be careful of flickering red light on its body. When you see red light stop attacking immediately. The Winged Ruler’s body will turn invisible and our attacks won’t harm it, instead, the person inside its belly will be hurt.”
Li Yi led the party and flew to the battlefield while explaining.
“Our Guild Master has a big brain. You know so much just by watching some vids. I love you man.”
“Impressive…”
Many started praising Li Yi and he was speechless.
Although he had not really attempted the Wings of the Sky that many times in his past life, he still had some experience. Besides, there were many tutorial videos on the forums. Even if he had no prior experience at all, he could just repeat what those videos said.
“The party will be divided into four teams. The vanguard team will be composed of 20 people, four main tanks and four healers. Each of the other three teams will be composed of 10 people, each with two main tanks and two healers.”
The party of 50 people distributed. Li Yi, Brother Windcloud Nine, Jiaojiao, Qian’er, and other powerful DPS players stayed in the main team to control its aggro.
“Main tanks!”
He explained everything, and some understood while others. The best method was to actually attempt the battle once.
Set Fire When There’s Wind rode his Golden Warhorse and flew to the tomb of the Winged Ruler. The Winged Ruler’s Spirit was forced out of its lair after one grenade was thrown.
“Who dares disturb my peace?”
Colorless, transparent, colossal, a fuzzy silhouette of the Winged Ruler emerged from the tomb and slowly rose into the air.
Numerous white feathers visible to the naked eye grew rapidly on its surface.
“The first team, you’re on!”
The main tanks circled it and waited until they pulled enough aggro. All DPS players worked together, and the other three teams took the opportunity and flew to the side of the Winged Ruler.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The sounds of blows were endless, and the HP of the Winged Ruler began to decrease slowly.
During the beginning of the battle, the Winged Ruler had 100 layers of Radiant Shields. Each time it suffered 10 million damage; a layer would be destroyed. Before every layer was destroyed, the damage it suffered would be halved.
“Whirl! Whoosh! Flip!”
The Winged Ruler turned around with great force, and some of the white feathers that grew out of its body were released in all directions. This was its signature move, Stray Feather Arrows, it was an attack against all.
Li Yi dodged his way across on Onyxia. Although the Stray Feather Arrows were sure hits, the number of hits was determined by the player’s movements.
“Do not resist, for death is your ultimate destination.”
As the Winged Ruler spoke, a gigantic feather arrow gathered and materialized on top of its head. It fired after aiming toward the players behind it.
The Whacking Great Feather Arrow had a slightly greater range than the True Overlord Arrow.
“Fly, all of you!”
The ten players behind it urged their mounts to ascend, causing the Whacking Great Feather Arrow to miss its target. It hit a big tree in the distance, blasting it producing a loud noise.
The players who flew and evaded the attack felt the pressure of the Whacking Great Feather Arrow. They were involuntarily pushed back several meters before they managed to stop.
One hit from the Whacking Great Feather Arrow and anybody would die.
“Whirl! Whoosh! Flip!”
Stray Feather Arrows were fired once more.
“Fire! Keep fighting!”
The barrage came in from all directions, and the HP of the Winged Ruler reduced at an alarming rate.
Li Yi looked for an opportunity and dismissed Onyxia. He then activated God Mode to summon the Hunter Goddess.
The Winged Ruler threw a puzzled gaze toward Li Yi. “This aura is familiar… Isera, is that you?”
“Come on out, Dolly!”
Just as the Winged Ruler was distracted, Li Yi summoned Dolly.
“Squeak—”
Bam!
The Stray Feather Arrows never stopped, and Dolly immediately turned into an egg right after taking a hit.
“True Overlord Arrow!”
As the Winged Ruler was confused, Li Yi fired countless shots at it.
There were Sky Vagabonds in his party for numerous mana buffs, which allowed him to deal more damage. In God Mode, as long as the mana supply was constant, his skill attack could continue indefinitely.
More than 30 consecutive True Overlord Arrows took away approximately 300 million HP of the Winged Ruler. When Li Yi’s mana was fully consumed, he would temporarily stop using skills and shoot at point-blank range.
“Isera, you too have turned your back against the Winged Ones? Unforgivable! Unforgivable!”
Seeing that Li Yi had summoned the Hunter Goddess, the Winged Ruler was visibly upset. It shook its body vigorously and the white feathers suddenly grew at an exponential rate.
“Approach me, for I will reduce you into energy!”
The Winged Ruler’s body suddenly dimmed, and more than a dozen players were sucked into it.
Li Yi got lucky this time and remained safe and sound.
“Damage dealers, pay attention! Take a good look before you fire! You don’t wanna hurt the others.”
Li Yi reminded as he switched to smaller scale attacks such as the Shooting Star Arrow while waiting for his mana to continuously recover.
Players who were sucked in by the Winged Ruler were immobile at the beginning. They could only attack when the surface of its body was flashing red.
The battle lasted for more than three minutes, and the white feathers did not completely cover its body yet. Players in all four directions were able to see each other, and mistakes were rarely made.
Even the scatterbrained Sister Nine did not make any mistakes. More than three minutes had passed without casualties.
“Stinger Arrow! Shooting Star Arrow!”
In just a few dozen seconds, Li Yi had recovered more than half of his mana, and now he was able to use his True Overlord Arrow continuously.
The Winged Ruler flashed red and Li Yi ordered the party to stop. Among the whole party of 50 people, seven people did not stop in time and their attacks landed on their companions in the belly, killing seven people…
“Sorry…”
“Oops.”
“I was channeling.”
Several players who hit their allies by accident apologized.
“Stop, spellcasters should pay more attention, try not to cast spells that involve filling up a channeling bar when this happens!”
“Understood.”
“Loud and clear.”
“Oops, I’ll try not to next time.”
Seven people died, two healers, two main tanks, three DPSs. Fortunately, they were not strong players.
Most of the party members selected by Li Yi were found through his memories of his past life. In other words, at least half of the people within this party had no renown in this life yet.
Those with potential, were famed and had a good character were the basic recruitment standards for Li Yi. Half of these people had tried their hand at challenging the Winged Ruler, while the other half had no experience at all. Otherwise, this would not have happened
After the Winged Ruler blinked twice in a row, the players inside were spat out.
“Water Clone!”
“Shooting Star Arrow Hail!”
“Divine Flames’ Descent!”
After five minutes or so, the Winged Ruler still had more than 6 billion HP. Since time was limited, this was the signal to launch a full assault.
All DPSs activated their most powerful skills and started a competition about who could deal the highest damage.
“Territory—Heavenly Punishment!”
Brother Windcloud Nine went all out and launched his Territory Skill at the expense of his own HP.
He looked as if he was insane. He held a blood-red cross high; both of his eyes were in scarlet.
The shadows of countless blood-red crosses descended from the skies and continued to rain on the Winged Ruler.
Each hit could deal about 10 million damage to the Winged Ruler. The blood-red crosses kept falling, and the speed of which the Winged Ruler’s HP decreased increased rapidly.
As long as Brother Wind Cloud Nine lived, the Heavenly Punishment would not end.
After two waves of Li Yi’s Shooting Star Arrow Hail, he dealt 1 billion damage to the Winged Ruler. The Dark Resurrection worked well. The skill had both benefits and drawbacks, the ATK buff was the biggest benefit to him.
“Territory—Stinger Arrow!”
“Psssh—”
After seven minutes, the white feathers had almost completely covered the Winged Ruler. Li Yi stopped holding back and unleashed his strongest skill.
“Phoooooom!”
The frequency of Stray Feather Arrows firing had increased, and five players died from the attack.
“Squeak!”
Dolly was resurrected in a ray of white light. She aimed at the Winged Ruler and fired a Chain Arrow followed by the Overkill Arrow.
“Wham! Whack!”
[-11313455]
[-23567890]
[-35789665]
Three hits, the damage was close to 100 million!
“Extermination Arrow!”
Since the HP of the Winged Ruler had dropped to not more than 20%, he could use the arrow!
“Bam!”
The target was hit, the remaining HP of the Winged Ruler went out like a deflating balloon.
“Kaboom!”
White feathers were all around the skies, the Winged Ruler was utterly defeated.
The battle was over!
Li Yi leaned forward and plunged to the ground.
The time for the Dark Resurrection was up, and he returned to his original state.
