Chapter 189 - 188: The World Boils Over
"Huh? The speed of Instakill has slowed down! Now his Zombie King is left with over 900,000 Health Points, dropping very slowly!" At that moment, Fallen Angel suddenly exclaimed excitedly. He had been distractedly monitoring the leaderboard to keep Kid updated with the latest situation.
"Huh? That could very well be the Zombie King deploying a defense type skill when its Health Points reach 50%, resulting in a decrease in Instakill’s output!" Kid quickly made a judgment, then slightly smiled, saying, "Our chance has arrived! When we get the Zombie King down to 1 million Health Points, that’s our turn to start catching up!"
...
Gradually, Huang Yi got the Zombie King’s Health Points down to 650,000, efficiency plummeting to a limit.
"Yanhuang Legion, pay attention! They have now gotten the Zombie King down to 1 million Health Points, but their speed hasn’t slowed, their output is the same as before!"
Huang Yi’s heart sank. His guess was right. Fallen Angel and Kid must be Physical Attack players, and that shield deployed by the Zombie King after reaching 50% Health Points was to defend against Magic Attacks, which couldn’t stop them at all.
Now Huang Yi’s advantage was slowly being caught up by them!
"Corpses’ Burst!" Just at this moment, Huang Yi’s Eye of Time suddenly foresaw that the Zombie King would unleash a Random Skill in the next 5 seconds!
This was a large area of effect attack that was unavoidable, and like many other Random Skills before it, it only had casting gestures and couldn’t be interrupted with Silence!
With only 41% of his Health Points remaining, Huang Yi definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand this massive area of effect attack. He was also unable to use Last Stand, a life-saving skill because this skill required Health Points to be below 30% to activate!
When it rains, it pours. His situation had become extremely grim!
If he couldn’t withstand this skill, it would mean direct failure!
The next moment, Huang Yi unleashed the attached skill of Legendary Boots—End of the World!
Within a 300-meter radius, endless Magma burst forth, scorching the Zombie King. However, the Zombie King possessed a Magic Shield and had extremely high defensive power against Magic Attacks, receiving practically no damage!
Huang Yi’s expression remained unchanged. He didn’t use the skill to attack the BOSS but to deplete 10% of his own Life!
The attached skill of the Legendary Boots costs Life to activate!
After deducting 10%, his Health Points dropped to 31%!
"Shadow Dance!" He then used an Exotic Skill, which further consumed 3% of his Life!
Finally, his Health Points fell below 30%! Meeting the requirements for Last Stand!
And at that moment, the Zombie King unleashed "Corpses’ Burst," with a vast toxic mist quickly enveloping the large surrounding area, covering everything!
Huang Yi immediately activated Last Stand!
For the next 10 seconds, no matter how much damage he received, he would not die!
"Instakill, hurry up! Their Zombie King is down to 280,000 Health Points!" An extremely anxious voice rose through the broadcast.
At this time, Huang Yi’s Zombie King had 290,000 Health Points!
Having been delayed by that moment just now, Angel Legion finally overtook Huang Yi and regained the lead!
Forums, television, broadcasts, and web pages quickly updated, with the tide of victory once again turning toward Angel Legion.
But Huang Yi was no longer capable of effectively catching up. Even with all his might and surpassing his own limits, he simply couldn’t catch up anymore!
It was an absolute gap in strength that no amount of skill could make up for!
Finally, the time for Last Stand passed too!
Huang Yi’s Attack Power dropped, and without a life-saving skill, he fell increasingly behind!
"Instakill, keep up! Their Zombie King has only 190,000 Health Points left!" A taut voice came over the broadcast, already hoarse from shouting.
"Their Zombie King has less than 120,000 Health Points left!"
"Their Zombie King has less than 70,000 Health Points left!"
"It’s hopeless! Their Zombie King only has a final 30,000 Health Points, they’re about to secure the first kill!" A resigned voice sounded from the broadcast, devoid of any spirit, as if stating a fact.
While Huang Yi’s Zombie King still had a staggering 180,000 Health Points!
The Yanhuang Legion members were utterly desperate!
Dao Feng sighed internally!
All around the world, everyone following the event finally shifted their support to the side of Angel Legion!
There was no suspense left!
Yanhuang Legion was doomed to lose!
But at that moment, Huang Yi still hadn’t given up!
Because he had one final move!
The next moment, he switched into the Agile Cat Form with a flicker of his body!
...
Within Angel Legion, Kid, with an excited heart, threw the final punch towards the Zombie King!
The punch, as if in slow motion, traced an arc filled with the joy of victory!
He only needed the last second, and his fist would have struck the Zombie King, taking away the last bit of health!
With just one more second, the Angel Legion would have seized the first kill!
...
Similarly, in that last second, Huang Yi, in Agile Cat Form, unleashed the strongest move he had ever performed—
"Life Sacrifice!"
"Boom!" His body exploded violently, using the price of his own life, he delivered a superbly powerful attack!
An incomparable shockwave swept outwards in all directions, flipping and vaporizing everything in its path with ease; the sky was filled with white light, blinding and obscuring all sight as if a sun had exploded!
This attack was indescribable in its strength, surpassing any other move Huang Yi had used before!
The Zombie King, being the closest, was directly engulfed!
...
The next moment, everyone around the world watching the leaderboard saw the same scene—
The Zombie Kings of both the Angel Legion and the Yanhuang Legion had their health reduced to nothing almost simultaneously.
But there was a slight difference between the two.
The Zombie King of the Angel Legion still had 3 health points left.
Whereas the health of the Yanhuang Legion’s Zombie King was—0.
Immediately after, a voice resounded across the world—
"[Secret Realm Announcement]: Chinese player [Instakill], leading five thousand members of the Yanhuang Legion, has achieved the world’s first kill on the Zombie King Iron Bone at the 50th floor of the Tower of Pantheons, earning the [Ironclad Boots (Legendary)]. In this kill, member [Instakill] with a personal Contribution Points exceeding 10%, has been awarded 1000 Public Prestige points."
The next moment, the world was stupefied!
Everyone was dumbfounded, struggling to digest the news!
The announcement had declared the name of the Yanhuang Legion!
Just moments ago, everyone had seen Huang Yi’s Zombie King with 180,000 health remaining—an insurmountable gap, yet somehow, Huang Yi had managed to wipe out that 180,000 health at the very last instant!
It was like a bug! An impossibility!
And the only explanation was that Huang Yi had, in his own unique way, snatched the first kill at the last second!
The world was in an uproar!
This battle was shockingly thrilling; before their very eyes, they witnessed the occurrence of a miracle!
A battle that seemed impossible to win had been won by Huang Yi out of sheer force!
While the Angel Legion had already brought the Zombie King to its second form, the Yanhuang Legion had only hastily assembled a team. But it was this makeshift team, under Huang Yi’s command, that surged through the ranks in a mad dash, overtaking the Angel Legion in just 37 minutes to claim the first kill on the Zombie King!
And all these miracles were by the hand of someone known as "Instakill."
It was a first kill, and it was also the moment the world came to recognize Instakill anew!
That instant, countless messages were sent out by various media, broadcasting to every corner of the globe, ensuring countless people learned of this world-shocking news immediately!
...
"Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize profusely. Just now, one of our editors mistakenly posted a message stating that the Angel Legion had obtained the first kill on the Zombie King. The editor in question has been dealt with severely. In the recently concluded battle for the first kill of the Zombie King, it was actually China’s Yanhuang Legion who secured it. In this contest, Instakill performed remarkably, miraculously assisting the Yanhuang Legion to overtake the Pope’s Angel Legion. Let’s congratulate the Yanhuang Legion, congratulate Instakill!"
...
"Bai Lin, Instakill actually did it! He really snagged the first kill! His boss just died instantly!"
"How did he do it? With such a clear disadvantage, he still ended up with the first kill!"
"The whole world is asking this question, only the Yanhuang Legion must know! Let’s check the forums later, there should be posts explaining it from members of the Yanhuang Legion."
...
"Is this for real?" A Fallen Angel in the Angel Legion muttered in disbelief, a look of ashen death on his face.
"All for nothing! Heh, fighting alongside you was my disgrace; wallow in your sorrow on your own! I’m done playing with you!" said Kid, shaking his head in contempt as he gazed down at the dense pile of corpses below. After speaking, Kid immediately left the team.
Soon after, the system forcibly teleported this outsider away.
...
Hearing the Secret Realm announcement, Huang Yi also breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally won the gamble!
He wasn’t certain Life Sacrifice would be enough to kill the Zombie King, as he was facing the 50th-floor Zombie King, after all. He could only try to reduce the Zombie King’s health as much as possible, to increase the chances that Life Sacrifice would finish it off.
And indeed, had the Zombie King’s health been slightly higher, Huang Yi’s Life Sacrifice wouldn’t have been able to kill it!
Now, Huang Yi had perfectly fulfilled Dao Feng’s cooperation requirement!
