Heroes' Prison

Chapter 181 No Casualties

The Zombie King, which thousands could not repel, now seemed like a mere common monster in front of Dao Feng, and was even sent flying!

Huang Yi became even more wary of Dao Feng. The more he observed Dao Feng’s strength, the more he felt terrified; the more he understood him, the more daunting Dao Feng seemed!

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Once again, Dao Feng swung the broken sword hilt in his hand, hacking at the Zombie King with two virtual strikes!

The massive body of the Zombie King was forced to retreat, completely unable to resist, and received massive damage once again!

Dao Feng’s individual achievements were comparable to those of thousands on the field! This terrifying burst of power was probably hard to find a second instance of across the whole world—Dao Feng truly deserved his title as the world number one.

After the third strike, the shadow of the Sword Emperor behind Dao Feng finally dissipated, and his body returned to its normal human size. He put away the broken sword hilt and returned to his original appearance.

...

At the same time, the forum’s essense thread was timely updated—

"Latest news! A bizarre twist appears on the Tower of Pantheons rankings, the Yanhuang Legion actually bypassed the first BOSS Fist and directly started attacking the Zombie King! The rankings now display the Yanhuang Legion’s instance as being in a reset state, but currently, the first BOSS Fist has no health loss. However, bizarrely, the Zombie King has started to lose health! This indicates that the Yanhuang Legion bypassed the first BOSS Fist and began attacking the Zombie King directly! No method has been found yet by the whole world to bypass Fist, and the Yanhuang Legion has never shown this strategy before. The only uncertain factor is Instakill! After Instakill joined the Yanhuang Legion yesterday, their progress suddenly accelerated, and bypassing Fist’s method is very likely also from Instakill’s hands. But now, the Pope’s Angel Legion has almost killed the Zombie King’s third form, and the BOSS is down to the last Resurrection chance, with first kill not far! Even though the Yanhuang Legion has bypassed Fist, they are still powerless to turn the tide!"

Earlier, Huang Yi’s strategy of bypassing Fist suddenly left clues on the rankings, which quickly spread, and countless people were guessing: what kind of strategy would it take to bypass Fist!

After Dao Feng’s ravaging, the Zombie King’s body was now tattered, its armor that possessed a high defensive power had been struck off, and its defensive power plummeted, causing everyone’s damage to suddenly increase a lot.

"We need 50 more high-attack melee class professions!" Seeing this situation, Huang Yi issued another command. Now that the defense of the Zombie King was lowered, ordinary physical attacks were able to breach its defenses, and at the feet of the Zombie King, there was still room for about 50 melee class professions.

From the crowd, quickly 50 melee professionals surged forward, without any chaos. It seemed that they all knew which 50 people should rush forward, clearly, after many training sessions before, they had developed a strong tacit understanding among themselves.

With the addition of these 50 fresh forces, the Zombie King’s health points dropped even faster, showing none of the characteristics typical of a Defensive Type BOSS!

"Attention, Yanhuang Legion: the rankings have just shown that the Pope’s Angel Legion has just successfully killed the Zombie King’s third form. The Zombie King has now resurrected for the last time and is down to its final form! Meanwhile, the Angel Legion still has 3,878 members remaining, setting the best record in history..."

At that moment, a voice once again filled the air through the broadcast, bringing bad news from the player monitoring the rankings.

Everyone’s hearts sank. The Pope’s team had actually reached the Zombie King’s fourth form! What surprised them even more was that they still had 3,878 members left, while the Yanhuang Legion had only 2,511 people left when they reached that point last night. The gap was simply too large. The hope that had just risen among them was quickly suppressed. Even if they had bypassed Fist, they were still unable to catch up with the Angel Legion!

"Then take another look, has the Angel Legion now suffered a large-scale loss?" At that moment, Huang Yi suddenly asked the player outside.

"Eh? Let me see... Yes! How did you know? There has indeed been a large-scale casualty, with several hundred people suddenly dying!" said the voice in the broadcast, apparently not understanding why Huang Yi could have predicted it.

Huang Yi smiled slightly and encouraged, "Good! Keep up the good work! The Pope’s Angel Legion is using the wrong strategy. They must have just sent all their melee classes to attack the Zombie King when it was taking 5 times the melee damage, just like our wrong approach last night. When their Zombie King gets down to 10% health, it will absorb the bodies of those melee classes to replenish its own health points. If they really lost several hundred people, then their Zombie King’s health points will be back to full! We still have hope!"

With Huang Yi’s encouragement, the Yanhuang Legion on the field suddenly felt they had some ground to stand on, and their morale was significantly boosted. Currently, they were the only team in the world that knew this secret; only they knew what kind of skill the Zombie King would use when its health points reached 10%. This was their biggest advantage, which the Pope and his team were unaware of. This was their hope to catch up!

Gradually, under the frenzied attack of everyone, the Zombie King entered its Bare Life State!

"All ranged classes, hold your fire!" When the Zombie King was down to just 1% health, Huang Yi suddenly issued a new command!

In the previous tactic, at this point, the melee classes would retreat, allowing the mages to kill the BOSS. However, Huang Yi’s approach was just the opposite!

But everyone did as he ordered, because they all knew that Huang Yi was about to introduce a new tactic!

As the ranged classes with heavy attacks stopped, the Zombie King’s decline in health slowed down, but death was still close at hand.

"All Swordsmen, cease fire!" After a while, Huang Yi issued another command.

Following that, all Swordsmen at the feet of the Zombie King stopped their attacks, and the Zombie King’s health points decreased at an even slower rate.

"All assassins, cease fire!" Ten seconds later, Huang Yi issued yet another command.

At this moment, the Zombie King was on the brink of death, with only 500,000 health points left!

"All melee classes, except for Blade Warriors, return to your positions!" Huang Yi finally gave the command to retreat.

After a little while longer, the Zombie King’s health points were down to the last 50,000! It could be killed at any moment!

"All Blade Warriors, return to your positions!" Huang Yi finally called back the last wave of warriors, leaving a Zombie King behind that could nearly be killed with just two hits.

Next, Huang Yi unleashed his ultimate move—

"I declare, Zombie King Iron Bone—dead!"

"Boom!" The sky changed color again, filling with dark clouds, as two thick bolts of lightning struck down, lifting Huang Yi and the Zombie King into the air, isolating them from everyone else!

This was clearly Huang Yi’s class exclusive skill—Judgment!

The moment he ascended to the Void Battlefield, Huang Yi went straight for a Pursuit, slamming into the Zombie King, stunning it for 2 seconds, and frantically hammered down with his mallet!

The Zombie King, already at its last sliver of health points, couldn’t even withstand two seconds under Huang Yi’s furious assault and was directly killed!

But at this time, the Zombie King was still considered killed by the team, and Huang Yi’s Devouring Attribute in his Orange Weapon couldn’t be activated. The Zombie King would still be resurrected!

The Void Battlefield was still in effect, and unless the Zombie King was completely dead or Huang Yi was completely dead, the Void Battlefield would not disappear.

The next moment, a mass of tiny zombies surged out from the corpse of the Zombie King!

These tiny zombies were the nightmare of everyone. They had immunity to 99% of damage, yet possessed the ability to instakill players. This was the toughest part of the process of killing the Zombie King.

Every time the Zombie King died and these tiny zombies appeared, they would cause massive casualties to any team. To catch up with the Pope and the others, one had to reduce casualties in this stage and maintain the team’s strength! This is why Huang Yi opted to use Judgment on the Zombie King, with this consideration in mind.

Since the Zombie King was in the Void Battlefield, these surging tiny zombies were also trapped inside the Void Battlefield, posing no threat to the Yanhuang Legion below. The survival rate of the Yanhuang Legion instantly became 100%, with no fatalities!

However, Huang Yi was now in grave danger, with all the tiny zombies rushing towards him!

"Transform into White Dragon!" The next moment, Huang Yi immediately switched to his White Dragon Form, spread his wings, and flew higher, avoiding the swarm of tiny zombies below.

In combat state, he could only transform once, and though Agile Cat Form was the most agile, even the most agile movements would not be enough to dodge so many tiny zombies. Flying as the White Dragon Form was the most reliable method.

A huge crisis was once again averted by him!

At this time, thousands of Yanhuang Legion members on the ground were looking up at the Void Battlefield, as were the many tiny zombies, all staring at Huang Yi. Whether human or zombie, all heads were raised as if watching a deity descend among them.

"Instakill, this skill is simply divine!" Dong Huan exclaimed, looking up.

Dao Feng also looked up to the sky and nodded, "The skill Instakill truly is divine. My Sword Emperor Possession skills run out after three strikes, and though the attack power is high, it’s not as practical as his skill!"

"My own class exclusive skill of a Rare Class is the same. It focuses on attack, but in this situation, it’s practically of little use!" Lin Yiqin also lamented. Their exclusive skills boasted incredibly high attack power, but in the face of a super BOSS like the Zombie King, which involved five thousand people, individual attack power could not make a big impact on the overall battle. On the contrary, a non-offensive skill like Huang Yi’s played a crucial role in this situation. (To be continued.
