Heroes' Prison

Chapter 383 - 375: Thunder King’s Electric Shield

Huang Yi saw this and immediately sent a message to Overlord outside, "You all come in. The Holy Domain Guardian has been critically injured, you can come in and kill it now."

"Boom!" The stone gate was opened once again, bright sunlight streamed in, silhouettes flickered, lights and shadows intermingled; it was Overlord leading five hundred members of the Elite Adventure Group inside.

"Supreme Overlord Flame, go and hold the line. You can withstand the attack from that Holy Domain Warrior now, everyone else attack," Overlord commanded as he entered, swiftly issuing orders and arranging for everyone to start taking down the BOSS.

"Whoosh!" Following Overlord’s command, a shadow instantly charged toward the Holy Domain Guardian, like a steel fortress, solidly positioning itself at the front.

This was a muscular man clad in black, heavy armor; with each step he took, his armor emitted a deep, resonating clank, giving off an incredibly hefty feel just by listening. In his left hand, he held a massive shield as tall as a person, ablaze with flames, suggesting it possessed formidable physical and magic defensive capabilities.

Huang Yi recognized this man; his name was Supreme Overlord Flame, a brother from Rose Prison who, before his incarceration, was a boxing athlete and had won a golden belt in a world top-level boxing competition. In The Second World, he hadn’t randomly been assigned a Boxer-type class but, unfortunately, had landed a Knight-type Rare Class. Still, his boxing experience played a significant role, particularly in close quarters defense against the BOSS, where he exhibited high prowess. He was one of the main tanks in the Instance Group and had now been temporarily reassigned here as the main tank for the Adventure Group.

"Whoosh!" As Supreme Overlord Flame firmly held the BOSS at bay, the others launched their attacks, bombarding the critically wounded Holy Domain Warrior with skills thrown recklessly.

The Holy Domain Warrior attempted to counter-attack but was too weak to fight effectively, even struggling to walk steadily.

"You pitiful ants! How dare you disturb Thunder King’s rest; I will not let you pass! Flame Spray!" The Holy Domain Warrior roared with all his might and suddenly sprayed a long stream of fire from his mouth, scorching everything within the stone chamber!

The Holy Domain Warrior’s dying counterattack was extraordinary; anyone brushed by the ferocious, surging flames would be instantly killed!

Just then, Supreme Overlord Flame raised his shield, aflame, high with his left hand and solidly placed it in front of the Holy Domain Guardian’s mouth, preventing the fire from spraying out and ensuring it continuously blasted against the shield.

The Holy Domain Warrior immediately turned around, attempting to dodge the shield and direct the flames elsewhere, but Supreme Overlord Flame’s body closely shadowed him, staunchly moving with his mouth. Wherever the Guardian turned his mouth, the shield followed like a persistent disease, never allowing the flames to escape and harm the others.

"Nice!" Huang Yi couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim upon seeing this scene. Chinese Kung Fu teaches an interesting saying, "Fighting is like kissing." It means that a fight between two people is like a couple of shy lovers kissing; the girl shyly dodges while the boy doggedly pursues her lips. This is an embodiment of a martial philosophy.

Now, Supreme Overlord Flame was fully exemplifying this concept, like kissing the Holy Domain Warrior, moving flexibly to wherever the adversary dodged, always managing to keep up. This had nothing to do with skills; it was purely personal technique. If an average person tried to do the same, understanding to always follow the BOSS, executing it so smoothly would be a different matter, far from being so fluid.

Although Supreme Overlord Flame was blocking the Holy Domain Guardian’s attacks, he himself also suffered immense damage. Even as a Plate Armor Knight with high defensive power, he couldn’t hold on for too long.

"No need to heal me, I’ve got a weird negative status from this flame that can’t be healed," Supreme Overlord Flame dodged while speaking to the group of priests, his voice thunderous.

All the priests instantly ceased their actions, abandoning the thought of healing Supreme Overlord Flame.

"It’s okay, heal him anyway!" At this point, Huang Yi tossed a "Special Pardon" to Supreme Overlord Flame.

The negative status applied by the Holy Domain Guardian is typically something priests can’t dispel, but Huang Yi’s Rare Class was an exception.

Indeed, after receiving Huang Yi’s Special Pardon, Supreme Overlord Flame’s negative status was instantly dispelled, and the priests began healing him once again, swiftly bringing his Health Points back up.

"Boom!" All of a sudden, the Holy Domain Guardian spat out a mouthful of blood, and the flames intensified tenfold, instantly reducing Supreme Overlord Flame to zero Health Points!

But Supreme Overlord Flame did not fall; instead, he continued to stand and fight, with his Health Points consistently at 1%.

At this moment, the priests could no longer heal him, and Huang Yi’s Special Pardon lost its effect.

On the other side, the Holy Domain Guardian could no longer deplete Supreme Overlord Flame’s remaining 1% Health Points, and for a moment, it seemed Supreme Overlord Flame had become impervious to damage.

Huang Yi knew this was one of the signature skills of the knight-type class, known as Knight’s Body. At 1% Health Points, it could withstand thirty seconds, during which time it couldn’t be healed or killed.

Time ticked by, second by second, and Supreme Overlord Flame managed to withstand the Holy Domain Guardian’s attacks with just 1% Health Points. He stayed right up against his opponent, preventing them from attacking anyone else in the team. Meanwhile, the Adventure Group’s output never ceased, continuously attacking the Holy Domain Guardian, inflicting heavier and heavier injuries.

Gradually, a minute passed, and Supreme Overlord Flame’s Health Points stayed at 1%, much longer than the usual duration of Knight’s Body, which was a breathtaking sight.

But the Holy Domain Guardian couldn’t manage to kill him, rather it was the guardian himself who was getting beaten worse and worse.

"Ah!" Finally, the gravely injured Holy Domain Guardian let out a piercing scream, fell back with his head to the sky, and a plethora of items burst forth.

"He’s finally dead! Even heavily injured, this Holy Domain warrior was so tough to beat."

"We actually killed a mighty Holy Domain warrior!"

"This is my first time killing a Holy Domain warrior!"

Everyone cheered. A Holy Domain warrior was indeed different; even in a heavily injured state, they could pose such a great threat. Killing one was an incredible feat for everyone involved.

At this moment, Huang Yi’s hundred-fold pursuit by Holy Domain warriors made them profoundly understand the ordeal he had endured.

"Supreme Overlord Flame, your Health Points were only at 1%, yet you managed to withstand an entire minute. Is it a special skill?" At this time, Huang Yi stepped forward and asked Supreme Overlord Flame.

"Yes!" Supreme Overlord Flame nodded and said in a deep voice, "All knights have a skill called Knight’s Body. After using it, you can endure thirty seconds at 1% Health Points. But I’m a Rare Class Holder, which makes it special – the duration extends to a minute."

"Then this is just right; I’ll give you this skill book." Huang Yi nodded and immediately took a book from the storage ring.

The pages of the book were very ancient, and it bore an illustration of a person standing upon the earth, surrounded by a large area of blood-red. Above this image were written a few big characters: Half-Beast Secret Art - Beast Blood Domain.

[Beast Blood Domain]: Can only be cast when Health Points drop below 1%, releasing the Beast Blood Domain. Within 300 meters, all allies gain a 30% increase in Attack Speed, Movement Speed, and Defense Points, while all enemies suffer a 30% reduction in Attack Speed, Movement Speed, and Defense Points. The domain automatically disappears when Health Points rise above 1%.

This skill book was obtained by Huang Yi after slaying the Half-Beast Chieftain in the Half-Beast Tribe. The effort they put into killing that chieftain was non-trivial; once the chieftain released the Beast Blood Domain, he nearly became invincible. In the end, Huang Yi relied on Ghost Cloud’s Words and its [Static Connection] to steal more than a hundred thousand Attack Power from the chieftain. After exerting all his strength, Huang Yi managed to deliver an unprecedented ten million points of damage, sealing the victory.

This skill was extremely powerful, far surpassing ordinary skills, and was one of the Half-Beast Chieftain’s final trump cards. However, Huang Yi didn’t choose to learn this skill. When his Health Points were at 1%, he quickly replenished them through Bloodsucking and wouldn’t keep his Health Points at 1%, making the skill unnecessary for him.

"Thank you, big brother!" Supreme Overlord Flame took the skill book, looked it over for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately chose to learn it. There were thousands upon thousands of skill books, but those suitable for oneself were few and far between, not to mention such powerful skills.

"Now, we don’t have an official Head of the Knight Hall yet, so you take this position," Huang Yi said, and using the highest authority of the Guild, he promoted Supreme Overlord Flame to the position of Head of the Knight Hall.

Now, of the Seven Great Halls of the Hero Guild, five had official hall masters. Only the Warrior Hall and the Hunter Hall lacked a formal head, managed by acting ones instead. Huang Yi planned to observe for a while longer before selecting the right individuals for promotion.

"Ah! Legendary Equipment!" Just then, a player gathering the spoils of war suddenly screamed.

Everyone turned their heads and froze, staring at the player who was holding a shield coursing with thunder and lightning, his hands trembling uncontrollably, either from immense excitement or from being shocked by the current.

"Let me take a look." At this point, Huang Yi walked over and picked up the shield to examine it.

This shield was palm-sized, azure in color, with currents of electricity flowing over its surface, making it appear extremely extraordinary. (To be continued.
