chapter 1751 tomb of the fallen god (6)
"how are you going to make a plan when you don't know what will you face? do what you usually do and adjust as we go on."
tang shaoyang understood that they were all nervous since this was their first dungeon in the god realm. they needed a push, and he would be the one who pushed them.
"there's no need to be worried about the boss. i think ophelius and ophelius can take care of the boss in a few minutes. you just need to focus on the monster on the way and find the way to the boss room."
zhang mengyao blinked her eyes a few times. it was as if she was being reminded of something she knew already. what tang shaoyang said to her was her strategy if a new rank dungeon appeared.
she thought she was not nervous, but she was still nervous that she forgot a basic strategy. her focus was on the boss, kept thinking of a way to fight the god rank, not how to clear the dungeon. she forgot the basics for the dungeon raid.
"are you sure they can beat the boss in a few minutes? i need to calculate our speed to clear the mob monster."
"we have forlan, hemlin, and lunea as well. a few minutes is enough," tang shaoyang nodded. even if it was not enough, he would make it enough.
"i need fifteen minutes."
zhang mengyao nodded and gathered her people. exactly fifteen minutes later, she gathered the part in front of one of the gates. she chose the gate in the middle, guardian arkin.
she was ready to fight anytime, holding a shield in her left hand and the lance on the back of her waist. her right hand was right on the gate, and next to her was tang shaoyang.
"open the gate!"
with her cue, both pushed the massive gate. the ground and the wall shook from the impact as the gate slowly opened.
they could not see anything as it was pitch dark. there was no light inside. the light from the torch could not reach inside. it was as if something was blocking the light from entering the room.
with a bang, the gate fully opened. tang shaoyang and zhang mengyao were still outside the gate. he was waiting for tang shaoyang, following her lead, respecting her as a leader.
he saw what was inside through his chaos eyes, but he remained silent. he wanted to see how zhang mengyao would react to what awaited her. of course, he was ready to help anytime.
zhang mengyao's heart was beating furiously. she was nervous not because she was afraid of what was ahead of her. it was because of the burden on her shoulders. her people's lives were in her hands. that was what made her nervous.
behind the vanguard was the main long-ranged class and healers. it was basic formation with their line-up.
they were already in the formation, but the skeleton knights remained in their position. they were still standing in a line as if they were statues, not monsters to kill.
zhang mengyao did not wait for the skeleton knights to make a move as she raised her lance upward and made a motion forward, "attack!"
the mage shot their spells while the archers released their arrows to the unmoving targets. the skeleton knights did not move, not even raising their shields to block the incoming attack.
just like that, the frontmost skeleton was blasted by the spells from the mage. the arrows from the archers pierced through their armor and destroyed the skeleton knights.
tang shaoyang was confused. zhang mengyao was confused, everyone was confused. why the skeleton knights did not react to their attacks.
"again! aim the legend and demi-god rank this time!"
zhang mengyao did not know and did not care as to why the skeleton knights did not react to her attack. she maintained the formation and instructed for the second attack.
as the second attack was on the way, the tomb guardian moved. it raised his shield and roared.
the spell and the arrows met with a barrier this time. all of them were blocked by the barrier. then it was followed by a notification.
[tomb guardian arkin is enraged by the player's dishonorable tactic!]
[tomb guardian arkin activated soul bestow!]
[the primordial rank skeleton knights become 50% stronger because of soul bestow!]
[the legend rank skeleton knights become 75% stronger because of soul bestow!]
[the demi-god skeleton knights become 100% stronger because of soul bestow!]
then the skeleton knight's empty socket was filled with the dark-purple orb, which flared fiercely. then they moved, in a stance, ready to fight.
the tomb guardian raised its swords and motioned forward. the skeleton knights' army charged forward, not carelessly rushing but in formation.
