Heroes' Prison

Chapter 335 - 328 Ghost Cloud’s Words

The Raptor was already familiar with the War Stomp, it leaped high into the air when the shockwave arrived, narrowly evading the attack.

"Pursuit!" At this moment, Huang Yi’s incarnation also joined the fray, flapping the black wings to swoop down from the sky toward the ground, charging with all his might at the colossal chieftain, forming a dark shadow!

The Half-Beast Chieftain seemed to have been prepared all along, his body suddenly radiating a dazzling golden light that enveloped him completely, standing between heaven and earth like a Vajra War God!

"Boom!" The incarnation slammed hard against the Half-Beast Chieftain, but the chieftain stood firm and unyielding. The layer of golden light on him firmly blocked the impact, preventing him from entering a state of dizziness.

Skills from common classes had no control effects on bosses; they couldn’t cause bosses to become dizzy, silenced, blinded, etc., and only rare classes could do that. However, Huang Yi’s rare class skill also lost its control effect in front of the chieftain’s golden light.

This Half-Beast Chieftain was incredibly strong, so fierce even in a gravely injured state it seemed impossible to defeat!

"You bunch of ants, don’t even dream of defeating me!" The chieftain bellowed, glancing down at the bloody hole in his left waist. Blood had been gushing from the wound, and the ground was already dyed red.

Seeing this, the corners of its mouth lifted slightly, as if the conditions for triggering a certain skill were met. It roared at the sky, and the massive soundwave spread out: "Beast Blood Domain!"

In that moment, the voice echoed throughout the heaven and earth, and the blood previously spilled on the ground suddenly evaporated into streams of Blood Qi, surging in every direction, submerging everyone, and forming a huge blood-red domain with a radius of three hundred meters.

Within this domain, all Half-Beastmen became incredibly fierce, each move whipping up a storm, while members of the Hero Guild became significantly weaker, their steps leaden as if weighed down by lead.

This skill nearly reversed the tide of battle in an instant, likely a powerful ultimate move of the Half-Beast Chieftain, with extremely strict conditions for activation.

Standing in the blood-colored domain, the chieftain’s body suddenly became agile. He immediately swung his massive Wolf Fang Club, hammering it down at Huang Yi with lightning speed, like a mountain descending!

At this point, Huang Yi’s situation was extremely dire. Inside that blood-red barrier, his body became drastically weakened, even the Raptor’s movement speed slowed down, leaving no way to evade the club!

The gigantic Wolf Fang Club drew ominously closer, growing larger in Huang Yi’s eyes and bringing with it a thunderous force. It seemed he was about to be killed on the spot!

"Flying Axe!" At this critical juncture, Huang Yi let go of his broadaxe with his left hand, throwing it at the Half-Beast Chieftain!

The Flying Axe could knock back an enemy, but it was impossible to deflect the large body of the chieftain, and so Huang Yi aimed the axe at the chieftain’s arm!

"Thud!" The axe instantly struck the Half-Beast’s arm, nudging it slightly off course!

The force of the deflection still wasn’t enough; the Wolf Fang Club was still capable of hitting Huang Yi.

"Flying Axe!"

Huang Yi threw the axe in his right hand, continuing his attack on the chieftain’s arm, nudging it slightly more off course!

With both Flying Axes launched, he finally managed to divert the chieftain’s arm. The Wolf Fang Club nearly grazed Huang Yi’s Raptor, the gust from the swing rustling Huang Yi’s cloak loudly.

Such was the might of a Holy Domain warrior; as long as they possessed a sliver of fighting strength, their power remained formidable. It was fortunate that the chieftain was not at his peak; otherwise, Huang Yi’s many lives would not suffice.

At this time, Huang Yi could no longer engage the chieftain in close combat. Fighting within this blood-colored barrier was akin to seeking death. He immediately spurred the Raptor to run frantically outwards, escaping the chieftain’s attack range.

Meanwhile, the group of powerful ranged classes in the distance were finding it very difficult to inflict any damage on the chieftain. Situated within the blood domain, the chieftain had grown significantly stronger, with even his defenses raised a notch, virtually like having a turtle shell on, making him impervious to any effective damage. The battle was no longer in favor of the Hero Guild.

The situation quickly became awkward; if things continued this way, it would be a dire outcome for the Hero Guild!

"Guardian Riders, fall back for now, avoid the chieftain!" At that moment, Sunset realized the severity of the situation and promptly issued an order to the group of Guardian Riders.

The two hundred Guardian Riders around the chieftain’s feet immediately dispersed, choosing not to engage the Half-Beast Chieftain head-on.

"The defense of this Half-Beast Chieftain is too high, we can’t beat him now. I’ll draw him away from the crowd while you all finish off the rest of the Half-Beastmen. Then we can join forces to kill this chieftain!" Huang Yi called out to his team, then rode his Raptor away madly towards an empty space.

"Instakill, don’t even think about escaping!" The chieftain, filled with deep hatred for Huang Yi, let out a bellow and chased after him, intent on killing him alone and unwilling to rest until he had done so!

Gradually, Huang Yi, riding the Raptor, left the plain and re-entered the forest. The chieftain kept close behind him, like a mountain bearing down, crushing the trees along the path, but was never able to catch up to him.

In this way, Huang Yi led the Half-Beast Chieftain around the forest in circles, holding up its significant combat power.

However, to Huang Yi’s disappointment, the chieftain’s barrier was always present and showed no sign of dissipating, making it quite difficult to kill this "turtle-shelled" opponent.

...

On the other hand, Huang Yi’s incarnation was slashing through the battlefield on the plains, opening his black wings and flying through the Half-Beastmen crowd. The sharp edges of his wings sliced through one Half-Beastman body after another, like wings of the Reaper.

Huang Yi flew up into the air, looking down at the battlefield below where the fight involved hundreds of thousands was dense and stretched to the horizon. Among the masses, a few figures stood out prominently, including Sunset, Nameless, and Mirror Broken, several top players.

Sunset rode on a large Raptor, his red cloak covered in fresh blood, and wielded his War Blade in sweeping cuts as he charged back and forth across the battlefield. The path he took left his enemies cleaved or knocked away, fighting tirelessly like an indomitable War God with no one able to stand in his way. A golden aura surrounded him, moving with him wherever he went, endowing nearby players with an enhanced strength as they basked in its radiance.

Sunset belonged to a General-Ranked Class, with the battlefield being his most fitting environment. Here he could unleash even greater combat power, and the general’s aura he provided significantly boosted his subordinates. More importantly, he had yet to undergo a Job Change or awaken the 9th Stage of the War Soul, relying solely on his Orange Gear and a host of Buffs to reach this level of prowess!

Nameless and Mirror Broken, two assassins, employed a different strategy. They appeared and disappeared unpredictably, avoiding direct encounters with enemies and acting like hidden daggers. They specifically targeted weakened foes. Every time they appeared, it meant the death of an enemy, and they always targeted Half-Beast leaders, each kill worth a hundred others.

Huang Yi scanned the battlefield for a while until his eyelids suddenly lifted slightly, his attention locking onto a player from the Hero Guild.

This player was dressed in a special purple robe, holding a shield in his right hand suited for Knight Class, and in his left, something resembling an Electric Baton that seemed quite peculiar with electricity flickering around it.

From his attire, this player seemed to have both the attack of a Lightning Mage and the defense of a Knight Class. The team mode showed that the player’s name was Ghost Cloud’s Words, a member of the Outlander Class.

Huang Yi had an impression of Ghost Cloud’s Words who was also a brother from the Rose Prison, typically keeping a low profile, never standing out.

Ghost Cloud’s Words was only level 50 at the time, and he was leading a 500-player subgroup, besieging a strong level 80 Half-Beast Boss. The rest of the subgroup were mainly above level 65, many having undergone a Job Change, but obediently followed Ghost Cloud’s Words’ lead.

Huang Yi reviewed the subgroup’s damage output data and discovered that Ghost Cloud’s Words topped the charts, even surpassing those who had undergone Job Changes!

Ghost Cloud’s Words had not been in The Second World for long and had not yet reached the 9th Stage of the War Soul or undergone a Job Change, but his output was able to top a 500-member subgroup. This unusual sight immediately piqued Huang Yi’s interest.

Huang Yi immediately flapped his wings and flew over to take a closer look, finally discerning the clues.

He saw that a blue lightning connected Ghost Cloud’s Words with the level 80 Boss, like a rope linking them both.

A constant electric flow transferred from the Boss to Ghost Cloud’s Words, seemingly transmitting something.

The Attack Power of Ghost Cloud’s Words kept rising every moment, causing more and more damage. In comparison, the level 80 Half-Beast Boss’s output constantly decreased, unable to inflict significant harm on what seemed to be average Guardian Rider equipment, possessing a frame without the matching combat power.

It was evident at this point that through that electric connection, Ghost Cloud’s Words was siphoning the Boss’s Attack Power. With this gain and loss, the outcome of the battle was practically without question.

"Boom!" Just then, Ghost Cloud’s Words, with the Electric Baton in his left hand, struck a lightning bolt as thick as an arm onto the level 80 Half-Beast Boss. The strike caused immense damage, instantly slaying the Boss.

The Half-Beast Boss burst out several pieces of equipment and collapsed, and the electric connection with Ghost Cloud’s Words disappeared without a trace.

"Alright! Let’s move on to the next target. I still have some Energy Value left," said Ghost Cloud’s Words to the 500-player subgroup, ready to lead them elsewhere.

Just then, Huang Yi’s incarnation swooped down and landed before them. (To be continued.
