Chapter 698: General Demon Bull

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In a Foreignland with a black color theme.

Li Yi had finally caught up to the Iron Alliance's main force. He was now accompanying Jiaojiao and the others to look for a Purple-named Boss in order to complete the last quest issued by Augustus, Miracle of Will.

General Mara, General Demon Cloud, General Demon Strike, General Demon Wolf, and General Demon Pig…

There were a total of twelve Demon Generals under the Seventh Demon God's command. In order to learn Miracle of Will, all the players needed to do was to slay one of the Demon Generals. However, in order to perfectly complete the quest and to learn the complete, 120% full version of Miracle of Will, they would need to slay all twelve of the Demon Generals. Not a single one of them was permitted to live.

By the time Li Yi found Jiaojiao and the others, they had already formed a united front to slay General Demon Bull. Just to defeat this boss alone, the Iron Alliance had mobilized over 30,000 of their Elites, and among them, only 500 of them were allowed to fight the boss. Everyone else was tasked with maintaining a perimeter around the battle zone in order to prevent other players from getting close.

Since the Foreignland maps were public maps, the bosses that spawned could be fought by everyone. With all players from the three different continents gathered there, stealing monsters and farming spots were commonplace in this map. The bosses in Foreignland had insanely high HP, and it was not wrong to call them huge blood bags, and worse still, their HP would increase as the number of players increased in their proximity (around 100-150 yards). In other words, as the number of participants in the boss battle increased, the boss' HP would grow even higher.

The first time Jiaojiao and her troops attempted General Demon Pig, they committed many major mistakes. As such, they needed to spend a whole day to barely defeat the general.

Foreignland was a chaotic place, as players did not just need to take note of the vicious bosses, but the even more vicious enemy players as well. Sneak attacks, ambushes, party fights, solo fights, and various other player-related events were constantly occurring, and even with Iron Alliance's 30,000 strong Elite perimeter, they were still unable to fully guarantee their safety. Their defensive line was broken every now and then, and these vile enemy players would risk their own lives just to barge into the boss' combat space, increasing the boss' difficulty and combat prowess.

Though all twelve Demon Generals had different appearances, they each shared a similarity, their attacks patterns were all the same.

Be it a hammer, a staff, or any other weapon, the Demon Generals would rely on close-quarters physical combat. In other words, none of them employed ranged attacks.

Their attacks were so powerful that they could squash main tanks within mere seconds. Moreover, their movement SPD was even faster than a Warrior's Charge. These two points alone had already solidified the fearsomeness of the twelve Demon Generals.

All 500 players were surrounding and attacking General Demon Bull. The dozen or so main tanks on the front lines fell one after another. Aside from Unending Unmatched, who possessed Absolute Defense, the other main tanks were like paper mâché before General Demon Bull, not even able to withstand a single blow.

General Demon Bull wielded a longsword with a design similar to the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. With every stroke of the sword, a player was bound to fall.

“Surround it, hold it at bay! Those who died, immediately release your souls! Our location is close to the entrance to Foreignland, so as long as you make it back quickly, we'll definitely take down Demon Bull!”

While controlling his Scarab King to join in the fight, Pretty Good Mood was also leading the troops in battle. His throat had long gone hoarse as they were fast approaching five hours of battle against General Demon Bull. However, as the HP of monsters in Foreignland were nonvisible, nobody knew how much HP the thick-skinned bull had left.

The Scarab King rushed forward, but it only withstood ten or so hits before it was taken down by General Demon Bull. HP was meaningless before General Demon Bull, as General Demon Bull was able to use skills that dealt percentage-based damage. As such, the greater the HP of a player, the worse the player fared against it.

“Boom! Boom!”

General Demon Bull raised the longsword above his head and furiously swung it around. Just like that, the dozen main tanks surrounding it was brought down.

Mooo—

With no one surrounding it, General Demon Bull's aggro began to spread. It charged towards the DPS flank and relentlessly spun its sword around. In a blink of an eye, a hundred or so DPS had been defeated.

“F*ck! Surround it, man! Don't let this b*stard get cocky, surround it! You pieces of trash, use Charge and surround it now!”

General Demon Bull had been surrounded once more.

Pretty Good Mood heaved a long sigh, and shouted in the Alliance Channel: “Sky Vagabonds who are maintaining the external perimeter, does anyone of you know how to cast Battle Resurrect? If you do, please come here and resurrect us.”

Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr—

Li Yi gripped his Megasnake Bow in one hand and fired a Powered-up Arrow into General Demon Bull.

[−667751]

[−763223]

The Megasnake Bow had a double-attack special effect, and by utilizing it against General Demon Bull, it was no wonder that he became the number one attacker in the party.

Aside from Li Yi, Jiaojiao performed quite decently as well. She had equipped the Constant HP-reducing Ring (She coined the name herself), and as such, her Territory Level was one rank higher than usual. Even without her Territory Skill, Instant Burst, her normal attacks had already dealt around 30,000 to 50,000 damage to General Demon Bull.

The Holy attribute was able to increase all of a players' stats, including ATK, DEF, Skill Strength, ATK SPD, Movement SPD, HP Recovery, Mana Recovery, and various others, covering nearly every type of stat available. However, the end goal of the Holy attribute was still to increase a player's Territory strength. In any case, Sinful Bindings went a step further, as it could directly upgrade a player's Territory!

The 500 players died on and off, and they constantly surrounded General Demon Bull to beat it up. In a blink of an eye, another hour had passed, but even then, General Demon Bull had yet to fall, and it was still staying strong.

Pretty Good Mood's voice had already broken by then. Thus, it was now Royal Blue Sky's turn to shine. With his charismatic leading style, all it took was a few shouts for him to reinvigorate the dispirited players once again.

“Victory is right before our eyes! Comrades, friends, divine equipment is waiting for you, so, take up your weapons and fight! Let's go! Charge!”

Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr—

Li Yi fired his Megasnake Bow in a machine-like manner. He was starting to regret his decision. Had he known that the gimmicks of these bosses were this tough, he would not have rushed his way here. Regardless, leaving was no longer a choice for him, as the battle had already dragged on for long enough, signifying that the boss was approaching its death.

“Mooo—”

Just as Li Yi's spirit was beginning to waver, General Demon Bull raised its head and let out a long moo. Its body slumped over, and it collapsed backward.

“Boom!”

Hundreds of light rays shot out from the corpse and landed onto the ground.

“What a huge sum of equipment! We've finally won!” One of the Iron Alliance members exclaimed.

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have successfully slain General Demon Bull and you can now turn in your quest. (Current quest completion rate is at 10%.)]

Upon General Demon Bull's collapse, Li Yi immediately received the quest notification.

Jiaojiao shook her dainty little head in exasperation. “My quest completion is now at 20%. My god, just how many of these bosses do I need to kill in order to reach 100% for this broken-arse quest?”

Li Yi snickered, “100% isn't the end goal. The end goal is 120%.”

Hundreds of players surged forward, vying for the equipment dropped on the ground. Due to the large number of players, it was not possible to stop all of them. However, this mattered little as all the equipment would still automatically enter a public backpack, regardless of the person who picked them up. Also, this public backpack was visible to all players and was under the direct control of the party leader.

General Demon Bull dropped hundreds of equipment, and the worst quality ones were Gold, whereas the best equipment were all Purple Quality Equipment Sets.

Unlike the equipment dropped from the Seventh Demon God that were under the category of ‘Demon God Equipment Set', the equipment that fell from General Demon Bull were categorized under ‘Demon Tribe Commander Equipment Set'. It was obvious from the name itself that the equipment dropped from the general was a tier lower than the Demon God Equipment Set.

Fortunately, as long as they were part of an equipment set, the equipment would still be imbued with the Holy attribute. As such, even though the stats on the Demon Tribe Commander Equipment were not to Li Yi's liking, Li Yi was still quite excited because of the Holy attribute.

[Special Effect: Increases the level cap for all Archer Skills by 3. (Requires 6 pieces of Demon Tribe Commander Series equipment and above to activate).]

All in all, there were 5 Archer class Demon Tribe Commander Equipment. 3 of them were breastplates, and the remaining 2 were boots. This time, the party split their loot using the auction system. In Li Yi's case, he spent 1,000 Gold Coins to buy the pair of SPD+2 boots.

“Those Demonic Tribe Commander's Violent Warrior's Bracers, I'll buy them for 20,000 Gold Coins!”

“Those Demonic Tribe Commander's Magic Robes, I'll offer 30,000 Gold Coins for them!”

By the time Li Yi had bought his boots, the auction was already in its crescendo. Since Foreignland had just opened, most players still lacked equipment. Furthermore, since there were over thirty thousand players who participated in the battle and there was only 50 or so good equipment out of the hundreds of equipment dropped, there was no way the prices of this equipment could be low.

Only Li Yi had an easy time in obtaining the boots. After all, the moment he offered his price, nobody dared to make a counteroffer…

After receiving his boots, Li Yi immediately teleported back to the capital. He would let Jiaojiao handle the rest of the money-splitting matters.

Li Yi took out his Rocket Propellant from his inventory and attached it onto the Demon Tribe Commander's Hunter's Boots. With that, the boots now had a speed burst ability.

Once that was done, Li Yi went straight ahead to the Auction House. However, when he checked his purchases, he was let down yet again. His results today were even worse than before, as he did not even receive a single piece of Holy Equipment.

Though 300 trash Holy Equipment might seem like a large number, Li Yi still felt that it was a tad too low. His goal was to have at least 500 Holy Equipment.

Li Yi was feeling a bit depressed.

Ding!

“Is Brother Dark Wing here?”

Just as Li Yi was racking his mind to find ways of obtaining more trashy Holy Equipment, the Black-hearted Chick, Autumn Love messaged him.

“I'm here.” Li Yi despondently replied. However, the Black-hearted Chick's next words had revitalized him.

“Brother Dark Wing, I have a batch of Holy Equipment that I intend to sell. Can…Can you help me out?”
