Heroes' Prison

Chapter 387 - 378: Huī Dāo Zhǎn Hóng Chén

This piece of equipment also brought Huang Yi a brand-new area attack ability—Storm of Thunder Clouds.

Previously, Huang Yi had three large-area damage abilities, namely Scorched Earth, End of the World, and the Aeonic Plague Effect of Judgment, and now he would have an additional Storm of Thunder Clouds! Like Scorched Earth, Storm of Thunder Clouds was simply an effect of the equipment, not a skill. Although the damage was less, it had no duration limit and could be activated continuously without any consumption.

Both Scorched Earth and Storm of Thunder Clouds were area attack abilities, but they had some differences. Storm of Thunder Clouds was more versatile in function, starting with the type of damage. Scorched Earth inflicted ground damage, which meant enemies would be safe once they flew into the air, but Storm of Thunder Clouds struck down lightning from above, so even airborne enemies would be damaged.

Secondly, Scorched Earth inflicted full-range damage, affecting all enemies standing within the area, while Storm of Thunder Clouds fixedly struck down a hundred bolts of lightning per second. If there were a thousand people within the area, then Storm of Thunder Clouds would actually be less effective than Scorched Earth.

Lastly, Scorched Earth was purely an attack effect, whereas Storm of Thunder Clouds also carried some control effects, paralyzing enemies for a brief 0.1 second upon striking. This duration seemed very short, but it could have surprising effects. For instance, if an enemy was about to initiate an attack on Huang Yi and suddenly got paralyzed for 0.1 second, that attack might not be executed at all.

In addition, Thunder Left Hand also included a "Body of Lightning and Thunder" skill. This attached skill was akin to a life-saving skill. For 10 seconds after activation, it was akin to being magic immune, impervious to magic skills’ damage. The enemy could only resort to physical attacks against him, but close-range assaults would also be troublesome; Huang Yi was like a charged body, so anyone who attacked him at close quarters would suffer a 1-second paralysis. Moreover, during this time, the attacks Huang Yi delivered were thunder attribute attacks, and players without lightning resistance had no choice but to endure his thunderous fury. Thunder attacks inherently carried a paralyzing effect, and once an enemy was hit, they would be unable to mount an effective counterattack.

When this skill was used, the life-saving effect was extremely powerful. During those ten seconds, it was difficult for enemies to attack him—they could only dodge and wait for the duration to end. In battle, 10 seconds was enough time for many things to happen.

"Instakill, your bracer looks very cool! You young people sure like this style!" At this moment, Overlord looked at Huang Yi’s left hand and said with a slight smile.

"Indeed, this is truly a Thunder Left Hand worthy of its name! Many boxers have an even swifter left hand, and when used unexpectedly, it often results in an instakill effect," Supreme Overlord Flame also nodded in agreement.

"This is just one of the bracers, the other one should be within the Central Continent Warrior Alliance, not something that can be obtained in a short time," Huang Yi pondered aloud.

The item description on this bracer pointed to its connection with the Thunder King, the previous story depicted in the passage murals, guiding players to acquire the other bracer within the Central Continent Warrior Alliance.

The Warrior Alliance sounded anything but ordinary, and considering the Thunder King had slain thirteen Celestial Realm Experts within, it showcased the rich foundation of the Warrior Alliance. They must be a major force in the Central Continent, just like the Half-Beast Holy Land.

As of now, Huang Yi possessed four pieces of Legendary Equipment and had also secured a clue to Epic Equipment.

"Alright, let’s continue onward. The treasure hasn’t ended yet! Who knows what good stuff we’ll find next," Huang Yi said to everyone in the team.

At this moment, some changes had occurred ahead; upon the removal of the Thunder Left Hand, the formation and the surrounding ten pillars had all settled down, and the thunder water on the ground had receded as well.

However, occasional faint sparks of electricity would still flash through the air—the device that generated lightning was only temporarily quieted down, not destroyed.

Next, everyone entered the stone chamber, passing through the lightning magic circle and the ten pillars.

At the end of that stone chamber was a door. The scout opened it to peek inside and found yet another stone chamber, but this one was blocked by a group of statue-like monsters.

These creatures were not ordinary monsters, but elite ones. It would take several people to kill one, and among that group was a minor boss. Although not of the Holy Domain level, it was still formidable, reaching level 90.

Given that the average level of people present was not very high and their equipment was not as good as that of an instance group, plus their expertise was diverse and not combat-oriented, they faced trouble with the current situation, and casualties might occur if not careful.

"Instakill, how about releasing a champion again to lock it inside and let them kill each other?" Overlord asked Huang Yi at this time.

"These are elite monsters, they grant a lot of experience. It would be a waste to let a champion kill them; let’s handle it ourselves!" Huang Yi shook his head and took the lead in charging in.

The others followed behind, entering the stone chamber in single file.

"Scorched Earth!"

"End of the World!"

"Storm of Thunder Clouds!"

"Judgment!" Just as he entered, Huang Yi unleashed four massive area of effect group attacks in one breath, including the recently acquired Storm of Thunder Clouds ability.

The scene immediately descended into chaos. The ground erupted with boiling magma that bubbled incessantly. The air was filled with the mist of the Aeonic Plague, making it hazy and obscure. In the sky, flame crows circled in sorrowful cries, and a huge black cloud floated above the Stone Chamber, brewing thunderstorms that roared continuously. Lightning struck down densely from the cloud.

The spectacle caused by Huang Yi alone had turned the Stone Chamber into an apocalyptic scene, from the ground to the air to the high skies, nowhere was safe. All the monsters in the Stone Chamber were engulfed in the attacks, their whereabouts now unclear, leaving it unknown whether they were still alive.

Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but feel a bit intimidated by Huang Yi. Players at this stage simply couldn’t launch attacks of such magnitude, yet Huang Yi could unleash four in a single breath. He was like a true Harbinger of Doomsday, bringing destruction wherever he went. If used on a densely populated battlefield, he could probably wipe out a whole area of enemies at once.

"The rest of you, use your group attack skills and just hit whatever!" Seeing the situation, Overlord simply gave an order for free attacks, since it was now impossible to even see the enemy clearly; they could only bombard randomly based on instinct.

Ten seconds passed like this, and the effects of Huang Yi’s End of the World and Aeonic Plague Effect subsided, significantly diminishing the intensity on the field; only Scorched Earth and Storm of Thunder Clouds continued.

After this purge, a number of the Elite Monsters in the Stone Chamber had died, and the remaining ones were clawing and rushing towards the players.

However, with as many as five hundred team members, each released their attacks, slaughtering these weakened Elite Monsters with ease, and soon all were slain except for that Level 90 BOSS.

Next, the standard process of killing the BOSS began, with Supreme Overlord Flame charging at the BOSS, taking the damage, while the others desperately poured out their attacks from behind. However, this BOSS was not severely injured, and although only Level 90, it was somewhat stronger than the previously wounded Holy Domain Warrior, making it tough to beat.

"Ghost Cloud’s Words, give me a Static Connection!" Huang Yi called out to Ghost Cloud’s Words, holding a broadaxe in each hand as he charged towards the BOSS.

Ghost Cloud’s Words nodded and immediately pointed his Electric Baton at both Huang Yi and the BOSS, instantaneously establishing electrical flow between Huang Yi and the BOSS, allowing Huang Yi to continuously steal the BOSS’s Attack Power. This was just like the time they killed the Half-Beast Chieftain a while ago; as long as the stolen attack was high enough, it could result in a damage output of ten million points.

"Judgment!" Huang Yi flapped his wings and immediately flew next to the BOSS, holding the Ghost Axe in his right hand, he slammed down a ferocious Judgment.

"Thud!" The BOSS was sent stumbling back several steps by the sheer force of Huang Yi’s axe, revealing immense destructive power!

"Judgment!" Huang Yi’s left hand broadaxe also unleashed the same Sentence Skill!

His Thunder Left Hand crackled with lightning, flying in the air like the left hand of the Thunder God wielding a fierce broadaxe, viciously striking the BOSS!

"Boom!" The BOSS was sent flying back, tracing a long parabola in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, sliding forward some distance before coming to a halt.

The ferocious BOSS was actually sent flying by a single strike from Huang Yi’s left hand!

These two Sentence strikes clearly showed the difference between the attacks of his left and right hands, with the left-hand’s attack far exceeding the right! Having half a piece more of Epic Equipment made such a difference!

Supreme Overlord Flame, too, was slightly startled; he had not expected this turn of events and immediately rushed forward with his shield, ready to continue holding the BOSS’s attention.

But just then, the BOSS stood up suddenly and charged aggressively toward the crowd of players, although it was a statue monster with no real intelligence, in that moment it began attacking players within the crowd.

"Boom!" At this critical moment, a figure suddenly burst forth from among the people, standing before the BOSS.

This figure was none other than Ghost Cloud’s Words, who firmly held his Electric Shield in front of him, blocking the BOSS’s attack and protecting the surrounding players.

Ghost Cloud’s Words, a class with the unique abilities of both knights and mages, held the Knight’s Shield and Mage’s Electric Rod in his hands, becoming a temporary tank.

With this defense from Ghost Cloud’s Words, Supreme Overlord Flame immediately rushed to take over, drawing the BOSS away from the group, narrowly averting this crisis.

And so, the BOSS’s Health Points continually decreased, and the Attack Power Huang Yi had stolen kept increasing, his damage with each strike growing larger. (To be continued.
