Heroes' Prison

Chapter 185: Drop Two Levels

At this moment, whether it was in The Second World or the real world, attentions rapidly turned to the competition for the first kill, as countless people held their breath, waiting for the latest news.

What had been merely a competition between two teams, was now the focus of global attention, thanks to a series of incredible new strategies by the Yanhuang Legion. Now that the Yanhuang Legion had finally suffered casualties, everyone actually felt relieved, as such a team seemed normal.

...

"Damn it, those Chinese have gotten the boss down to 60%! And they still have 4121 people alive!" the commander of the Angel Legion shouted anxiously.

At that moment, their Zombie King still had 33% of its health left. The Pope had just sacrificed a Level 1 to launch a super attack, reducing the Zombie King’s health by a chunk, but compared to the Yanhuang Legion’s pace, it was still too slow!

They felt like they were in a relay race, leading at first but encountering issues in the last leg and watching helplessly as their competitors caught up, making it extremely difficult to cling to their lead and cross the finish line in victory.

"They’re at 41%, we are only at 21%! Everyone unleash your bursts! Burst!"

"They’re at 34%! We need to speed up!"

"They’re at 30%! With 2343 survivors! The casualties are significant, but we now have Kid’s Life Shield, so our casualty rate is very low. We still have hope to secure the first kill! Everyone attack with all you’ve got!"

"Good! We’ve finally gotten it down to 10% again, they still have 18%, everyone hurry up!"

Finally, the Angel Legion managed to get the Zombie King’s health down to 10% again. This time the Zombie King did not use its corpse-absorbing skill, and its health directly plummeted.

"No good, we’re too slow, they’re already at 14%. They’ll catch up soon!" the commander of the Angel Legion had gone mad with battle fury, every member of the Angel Legion glared furiously at the Zombie King, but no matter how hard they tried, the Yanhuang Legion’s pace of catching up was ever closer!

"Looks like I have no choice but to use that skill again!" At this moment, the Pope murmured to himself and once again took out the Half Staff from his storage ring, violently planted it in the ground, and deployed that level-dropping skill once more.

...

While attacking the Zombie King, Huang Yi directed, "Priests, top up the health; we can’t afford mass deaths now, otherwise, we won’t catch up!" After several rounds of Random Skills’ baptism, the Yanhuang Legion’s numbers had sharply decreased to 1434 people! The battlefield was in disarray, strewn with corpses, exuding an air of tragic intensity. But their achievements were significant— the Zombie King’s health was finally beaten down to 10%, and the fight had reached an intense climax!

In the next moment, the Zombie King opened its mouth and inhaled in all directions, but there were no Melee Class corpses around—it had completely wasted that skill.

"Alright! All melee can now rush in to attack the Zombie King! Activate damage reduction and bursts, last as long as you can! Deal as much damage as you can!" Huang Yi decided to order Melee Class to charge and sacrifice themselves.

The Melee Class all charged forward, braving the relentless attacks of numerous flies, trying rigorously to deal damage to the Zombie King!

"Priest Group, be mindful of your mana, we’re all running on fumes now, just hold on a bit longer. The Angel Legion is down to 5%, and we’re at 6%, but we have more survivors, we can catch up soon!" Huang Yi reminded them calmly, slamming his Orange Martial Hammer onto the Zombie King.

The entire Yanhuang Legion had entered a feverish state, each person seeming to be filled with boundless energy! Everyone understood that they were about to overtake the Angel Legion.

"Not good, Yanhuang Legion be aware! The health of the Angel Legion’s Zombie King has suddenly dropped to 2%, no idea what happened!" Just then, a player reporting from outside threw cold water on them.

The atmosphere on the battlefield paused for a moment, as the news struck like a bolt from the blue, throwing away the lead they had worked so hard to catch up on!

"What? Did the Pope use that skill?" At that moment, Dao Feng seemed to realize something, and immediately asked, "Check how many levels the Pope has now."

"The Pope is now Level 54, down two levels from before," the person outside quickly responded.

"It is that skill!" Dao Feng’s face turned grim.

...

"Alright, next up, the first kill is destined to be ours!" At this moment, the Pope smiled faintly, his expression relaxing as he picked up the half staff from the ground and placed it into his storage ring.

"But you also dropped two levels! That loss is too great!" said a high-ranking member of the Angel Legion next to the Pope, the tone of his voice carrying a hint of regret.

"Sacrificing personal interests for the team is a very normal thing," the Pope said, unmoved, as he took out his Magic Wand and continued to attack the Zombie King.

Before long, the Angel Legion had brought the Zombie King’s health points down to the last 1%, reaching the moment closest to achieving the first kill!

No other team had ever managed to bring the 50th floor’s Zombie King to this stage – they were the first in the entire world!

At this moment, everyone in the Angel Legion held their breath, praying and waiting. Since the 45th level’s 500-player mode, the Zombie King had a high chance of unleashing a super skill called "Corpse Water Torrent" at 1% health, which deals 20% damage per second to the entire team, beyond the healing capacity of any priest, leading to an inevitable team wipe. If they couldn’t defeat the boss before the team wipe, all their efforts might come to nought.

However, the Angel Legion had a way to conquer this move. Among them was a player with a Rare Class known as "Fallen Angel," who possessed the ability to fight in flight, unaffected by the Corpse Water. Relying on him alone, they could still take down the Zombie King in the Bare Life State.

Suddenly, the Zombie King swept his hand, and a torrential green surge rushed out from around the mountains, unstoppable like a mudslide, bearing the might to break through everything!

"It really is the Corpse Water Torrent! Everyone, attack with all your might and try to reduce the Zombie King’s health as much as possible before death!" the commander shouted with all his might.

"Fallen Angel, take off now! Don’t worry about the energy value consumption," the Pope then turned to a gloomy young man with a pair of black wings behind him and said.

The young man immediately flapped his wings and ascended into the sky, like a dark angel.

"Kid, I spent a lot of money to bring you here, just for this moment. You too, take to the skies!" the Pope turned once more to address a burly man on the other side.

This muscular man had bulging muscles and exuded a mighty Brute Force. His name was Kid, a figure as renowned as the Pope in the United States, and also a super player.

"No problem!" Kid’s deep voice rang out as a pair of flesh wings sprouted from the area around his shoulder blades, and he too flew into the sky.

The next moment, the Corpse Water Torrent finally rushed over, and the few hundred surviving players were instantly scattered, struggling in the stench of the corpse water, their formation broken. But every one of them continued to desperately attack the Zombie King, aiming to take off as much of his health as possible before their imminent deaths.

Five seconds later, all the members of the Angel Legion on the ground had perished, leaving only the Fallen Angel and Kid in the air.

The two of them flapped their wings and engaged in a fierce battle with the Zombie King whose health was less than 1%.

Now, it was up to these two to fight for the world’s first kill of the Zombie King on behalf of the Angel Legion!

...

"The Zombie King is down to the last 1% of his health!" Huang Yi shouted loudly, his hammer in hand striking the Zombie King frantically, his arm trembling slightly.

The final battle had finally arrived!

The Zombie King swung his hand toward the distance, and a torrential green surge suddenly burst forth from all sides of the mountain, rushing toward them, the group of survivors, sweeping everything away, unstoppable!

Huang Yi couldn’t dispel this skill with Judgment, even if he pulled the Zombie King into the sky. The corpse water continued to ravage the ground, and they were still heading for a team wipe.

"Everyone, hold nothing back! Attack with all your strength before death! Lower its health a bit more, or I won’t be able to kill it," Huang Yi commanded loudly.

Now, the Yanhuang Legion had no more time for output, and the moment of their team wipe was imminent! Faced with a catastrophic skill like the Corpse Water Torrent, there was no stopping it. No team could survive it; they could only inflict as much damage as possible in these last moments. Only if the Zombie King was completely dead would those torrents of corpse water recede.

In an instant, the battlefield was filled with a sense of grim determination, as everyone understood they were about to die, unleashing their final attacks!
