Chapter 81 – Do you think you can kill me like this?
Sylvie did not hesitate; this battle was a matter of life and death.
If before he lived just to survive, now he lived to protect.
No matter what, he had to win.
Even if faced with a calamity.
"All troops, heed my command! Charge—!"
"Roar—!"
With the Crusaders' battle cries echoing, the spells of the player mage group whistled past their ears, yet their cold eyes remained unwavering.
Swords clashed, and screams filled the air.
The players weren't in pain; they were scared.
Those cold eyes hidden beneath their helmets reminded the players of pigs waiting to be slaughtered during the New Year.
But here, the pigs referred to them, the players.
"Don't panic! Warriors, hold the line! Mages, shield us!"
After the initial fear, the players quickly adjusted their state. As chaotic neutral beings, all their fears could dissipate with the thought, "It's just a game."
Facing the Eaglehold Lord, who was like a meat grinder, these warrior players charged forward with their swords, undeterred.
The mage players scattered across the battlefield behind them.
Even more audaciously, one spell player cowardly hid beneath a corpse, launching magical attacks at Sylvie.
A true sniper never reveals their position.
"Defense broken!"
"Holy crap, it's possible!"
A Fireball Spell hit Sylvie, and although he was enveloped in Battle Aura, he inexplicably felt a fleeting sting, like a mosquito bite.
"I dealt 3 damage! I'm so moved… finally, it's not a miss!"
A warrior player, holding his sword, shouted excitedly, only to be sliced in half by Sylvie in a reverse strike.
"-872367."
After being killed, the warrior player's energy form floated in mid-air, still excitedly typing in the Public Channel:
"Brothers, I'm level 25 with 6000 HP, and the boss hit me for 870k damage in one strike, without a crit."
"But this is a great improvement because when I was a newbie, I took over 3 million damage, which means we've gotten stronger!"
"Umm…"
"Is it possible that last time the Lord Boss used a skill, and this time it was just a normal attack?"
"…"
Although Sylvie continued to mow down players like wheat, killing large swathes with a single skill, it couldn't dampen the players' morale.
In their eyes, as long as they could break the health bar, they could kill anything.
"Mage players, stop shielding us, we're going to sacrifice!"
"Let's go!"
"Fire at me!"
"Don't pity me just because I'm a delicate flower."
…
A group of warrior players shouted shameful slogans, sliding with a skill right up to Sylvie.
Immediately, a barrage of destructive spells rained down, using them as coordinates.
Sylvie frowned; these players were as annoying as sticky plaster, always clinging to him no matter where he went.
Climbing on him, tugging at his pants, pulling his knight boots.
Even though getting close would result in injuries from Sylvie's Battle Aura, they persisted tirelessly.
A thousand Crusaders, led by Sylvie, cleared wave after wave of players, but soon more players filled the gaps.
Many players had already been killed to the point of losing levels and experience, but no one cared about that; they were in a frenzy, like crazed gamblers, determined to take down the Lord Boss in front of them.

Eight thousand players had already avenged their previous defeat, showing the ferocious side of the Fourth Calamity.
But their triumph was short-lived.
Above the three temporary resurrection crystals, a massive meteor, burning with cyan flames, crashed down with a deafening roar.
"Insects! They're everywhere!"
"Death! Blossoming everywhere!"
"Kekeke…"
The arrival of Hellfire Saraken was a rude awakening for the players, instantly clearing a large area around the resurrection crystals.
He slowly stood up from the crater, scraping the charred flesh off his feet, revealing his towering five to six-meter figure.
"Holy crap! What is this? It looks like Hellfire?"
"So, why does Kain Continent have such creatures?"
The players were shocked, but didn't forget to cast an Appraisal, revealing information that left them breathless:
[Hellfire Lord - Saraken Ash (Skull Icon)]
[Archdemon - Level 55 - Nightmare]
"Why the hell is there another one?"
"I don't know, there are bosses everywhere. Ye Hao has an old knight over there, and he's a Sky Knight now."
"Are we surrounded by three Nightmare-level bosses?"
"Really… really exciting, how much gold and orange gear will drop from this?"
"Damn, brothers, how's it going on your side? We have Minotaur Warriors with cannons on the city walls…"
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Ye Hao was about to lose it.
This time, he chose to follow the grand will's arrangement, protecting the temporary resurrection crystals and just watching the players perform.
But now he was locked in a stalemate with an old knight who appeared out of nowhere, leaving him no time to deal with Hellfire.
Hearing the explosions and the Hellfire Lord's evil laughter behind him, Avatar, who was commanding players to besiege the Eaglehold Lord on the front lines, realized:
"Are they trying to sneak attack our base?"
But he was only slightly surprised; the resurrection crystals had extremely high physical defense and had been reinforced.
The Hellfire Lord was formidable, but it would take time to smash a temporary resurrection crystal.
Avatar remained calm, feeling like he was fishing, not worried at all.
But soon, a player urgently reported the crystal's condition in the Public Channel.
"Brother Fan, the temporary resurrection crystal can't hold on."
"Damn? How can it be so fast?"
Avatar was dumbfounded; the slap in the face came too quickly. What happened to the promised strong physical defense? The promised 100% defense boost?
"Deploy the other temporary resurrection crystals. Ye Hao is tied up; we must hold off the Hellfire Lord."
After speaking, he continued to encourage other players in the Public Channel:
"Everyone, hold on. These are the Eaglehold Lord's subordinates. Although we're facing three bosses, the mission only requires us to kill the Eaglehold Lord."
"Now, send a group to harass the Hellfire Lord, don't let it destroy the crystal smoothly. The siege players can return and join in taking down the Lord Boss."
Under the trial of the battlefield, with players able to resurrect and make mistakes for him, his command became more adept, and the coordination between mage and warrior players grew more seamless.
Soon, Sylvie's health was reduced by a third due to the true damage converted from the massive player attacks.
But strangely, his Battle Aura hadn't been consumed much.
The battle had lasted a long time, and all the Crusaders had perished, but Sylvie didn't plan to send more.
These were his reserves, and he wanted to save as much as possible, as gold and iron ore were scarce. But now he had to hold off the players for Saraken.
The players greedily eyed the Eaglehold Lord, who had been forced back to the gates of Winterfell City, shouting:
"Eaglehold Lord, turn into our equipment!"
"This is the consequence of provoking the Fourth Calamity."
"What did you do to the Saintess Sister, you scum!"
…
"You think you can kill me like this?"
Looking at the fervent players, Sylvie sneered disdainfully, his golden Battle Aura blazing, with the dragon soul fierce and the lion soul majestic, accompanying him. The golden light in his eyes was imposing and cold.
Suddenly, a gentle white light enveloped the Eaglehold Lord, and to the players' shock, his depleted health rapidly recovered.
Behind the Eaglehold Lord, a petite and adorable demi-human girl emerged.
The girl had rose-colored, sparkling eyes, clear as autumn water, and bright as stars.
Her beautiful light golden hair cascaded down her back, shimmering in the sunlight. Her every frown and smile exuded a natural charm, making one marvel at her radiant presence.
"Master~ It's Loli's turn to protect you~"
The little maid looked at Sylvie with affectionate eyes and spoke softly.
Her fluffy tail swayed behind her, and her two soft, tender hands held Sylvie's large hand, leaning gently into his embrace.
Sylvie smiled slightly at her words, bending down to kiss the little maid's forehead affectionately. He lifted her with his left hand, supporting her small bottom, allowing her petite and light body to half-rest on his shoulder.
Sylvie stood with his sword in his right hand, releasing three-quarters of his Battle Aura to envelop and protect the little maid.
The little maid nestled obediently in his arms, her pretty face coldly observing the surrounding players.
She extended a slender, white hand, and with a gentle wave, a shield with golden, intricate patterns appeared around them.
Then, she softly opened her lips, her voice tender and melodious, singing a series of obscure notes.
Subsequently, in the players' eyes, a buff appeared next to the Eaglehold Lord's long health bar.
