Chapter 118: Engagement
“Wait, if you just go over like that, you’ll expose yourselves, and then you might attract the attention of certain people,” Zane said.
“What’s there to be afraid of? Are there not enough famous players around? Moreover, if we don’t stop them, with the Gray Wolf’s attributes, they probably won’t even survive a Fire Sea!”
“…”
So the huge black beetle and the Wolf King charged out alongside nine Gray Wolves.
Upon closer inspection, each of the nine Gray Wolves was carrying a player.
“Vice, it looks like there are players on those Gray Wolves!”
“I see it. I feel like that assassin from earlier seems familiar, like I’ve seen him somewhere,” Fairy Tale Forest said, pressing a finger to her head, looking troubled.
Suddenly, the Gray Wolves all stopped, and a player stepped forward, holding a silver-white giant shield, it was Endless Sea.
“It’s you?” Fairy Tale Forest said in surprise.
“That’s right. I’m here to demand an explanation. We followed the Gray Wolves and received a hidden quest, but you all simply took out our teammate without a word?”
“Hmph, it’s clear that it was that assassin who wanted to attack us, which is why he met such a fate,” a player named “Lost Soul” said.
“How could that be! He just went to see who was coming, it’s impossible for him to attack you first!” Endless Sea firmly denied.
“Alright! There’s no point in saying this now. Since that assassin dared to approach, he should be prepared to die,” Fairy Tale Forest said calmly.
“Is that so…”
Endless Sea raised his spear.
A completely translucent blue knight’s spear, this was a Silver Grade equipment released today, usable at level 22, and much heavier than a sword. Zimei preferred using a sword, so she gave up the competition, and now he finally had a prestigious weapon.
Upon closer inspection, there was also a faint cold air swirling around the spear, making it look quite imposing.
“Then there’s nothing to discuss!!”
The Traveler had already fallen, so there was nothing more to talk about, but Endless Sea was just looking for the right angle to launch an attack.
Charge!
At that moment, the Gray Wolves and the knight melded into one, turning into a high-speed moving shadow, charging straight towards Fairy Tale Forest!
To capture the leader first, the greatest threat to them was naturally this high-ranked mage.
With the buff from the Bard and the double damage from the mounted state during Charge, it was enough to take down an average mage in one hit!
However, the female mage in front maintained her composure and showed no sign of wavering from the charge.
She softly chanted, “Prosperity!”
“Here it comes!”
In the next moment, the Brawler known as Prosperity slid to the front of Fairy Tale Forest.
At the same time, he brought his arms together, adopting a defensive stance.
Oh no!
The path of the Charge attack was a straight line, and if it encountered other obstacles during this time, the target of the Charge would change.
And this skill couldn’t be stopped voluntarily; their reactions were terrifyingly fast!
Bang!
-549
A hefty amount of damage was blocked, and Prosperity had already been prepared. He let out a low shout, activated Unyielding Will, dispelling the stun effect of Charge, and his right hand struck towards Endless Sea’s neck.
Neck Lock!
A rare control skill for Brawlers, it could only be learned through a skill book; at least they hadn’t dropped any Brawler skill books yet.
At this moment, Endless Sea had yet to retract his momentum, unable to dodge, and could only take the hit head-on.
-795
So painful? Plus, he felt weak all over and couldn’t move, he was under control!
Endless Sea’s intention was to surprise the mage with Charge, but his teammates couldn’t keep up with his movements and were hurriedly rushing over.
Fairy Tale Forest waved her staff, and a sea of fire spread across the path ahead, simultaneously enclosing Endless Sea, cutting off the enemies’ support route while continuously dealing damage to the knight.
Since the Gray Wolves weren’t true mounts, their health was independent.
Under the attack from the sea of fire, the elite Gray Wolf’s health bar dropped by a quarter in an instant.
“You got some guts, huh? Just because you have Charge, you think you’re invincible?” Lost Soul said, drawing a bow and taking an arrow from his quiver.
Armor-Piercing Arrow!
-347
A layer of gray Armor-Piercing buff took effect, and even worse, others surrounded them as well.
Endless Sea’s health was rapidly declining; under the Armor-Piercing condition, within 5 seconds, he was reduced to zero health by this group.
+1732
Suddenly, a holy light burst forth, raising his dangerously low health.
Holy Healing Light!
Fairy Tale Forest looked into the sea of fire, seeing a priest standing boldly within it.
Red and green numbers occasionally flew out; upon closer inspection, there was actually another priest outside the sea of fire!
Moreover, others were rushing in around the edge of the sea of fire.
The big beetle was boldly climbing straight over!
Nangong drew his bow, forming a blue arrow, Ice Feather Arrow!
Fairy Tale Forest frowned; a mage’s movements weren’t as agile as melee classes. Some attacks could be predicted to dodge in advance, but this attack was already too late when it was discovered.
There was no choice, Explosive Flame!
The scorching air collided with frost, creating a massive explosion!
However, as no one was in the center of the sea of fire, it didn’t affect anyone.
There were too many of them; they had to take down this knight first.
Speaking of which, isn’t this guy’s health a bit too high!? 5000+?
The chain of control was almost broken!
She waved her staff, gathering magic on the staff, Magic Impact!
+1237
-976
A healing chain struck Endless Sea just before the attack.
That amount of healing was outrageous!
You have to know, the top-tier priest in Drunken Fairy Tale could only heal a single target for around 600+; this casual skill could heal over 1000+? Could it be… she remembered the world announcement from this morning.
While she pondered, the control was already broken!
Not good!
Instinctively, Fairy Tale Forest activated Blink, and five misses floated out in place.
“Damn, you blinked so fast!?” Endless Sea gaped, holding his lance.
He seized the moment of control disappearing to unleash the knight’s spear’s special skill—Frost Stab, but it missed entirely.
To his surprise, instead of seizing the opportunity to attack him, the enemy turned and ran away!
Watching the receding figures, he was momentarily unsure whether to chase or let them go.
Looking back, he found that Mo Se had already arrived, and others were quickly following. They had used nearly all their skills, yet they hadn’t taken down a single person, so they decisively chose to retreat.
The Gray Wolf beneath him still had a third of its health remaining due to the healing chain, and it hadn’t fallen.
Zane had watched the entire battle unfold, “Don’t chase! Don’t worry about them, let’s keep moving!”
“But… Traveler was killed by them once…” Nangong hesitated before speaking.
“There will be a chance for revenge, but not now. Their coordination is too seamless. If we chase, we might lose more members, and it’s not good if we drag it out for too long. Since someone has appeared here, it means our movements have been exposed again, we need to leave quickly!”
