Heroes' Prison

Chapter 419 - 409 Tactical Failure

Almost instantly, Huang Yi activated his four group attack abilities, each of which had a range of two hundred meters in diameter. The Heroes’ Guild and the opposing Unbeatable Group were only a little over one hundred meters apart, well within the range and liable to attack.

In a flash, the entire area erupted into chaos; magma spewed from the ground, poisonous fog drifted through the air, and the skies were blanketed with dark clouds, as lightning bolts struck down, casting the battlefield in an image akin to a human hell.

Next, Huang Yi charged rapidly towards the Unbeatable Team led by Unbeaten and Nonexistence. His lone figure, seeming frail in comparison, dashed through the riotous radiance of the battleground towards five hundred people, a spectacle that looked much like a moth flying into a flame.

Huang Yi’s silhouette moved as swiftly as a series of shadows across the field rife with magma, toxic fog, and thunder and lightning, casting reflections in the eyes of the thirty million viewers, resulting in sixty million reflections.

"Boom!" Huang Yi, after several consecutive assaults, collided with a player at the forefront of the Unbeatable Team, instantly stunning him for two seconds.

"Judgment!" Immediately after, Huang Yi released this group attack skill again!

Clutching two Ghost Axes, his body spun rapidly, whipping up a sharp whirlwind amidst the Unbeatable Team, causing immense damage!

[Judgment] consumed ten points of rage per second, and for every enemy hit, he drew an additional point of rage. He was hitting seven or eight enemies at once, allowing this spinning assault to last even longer.

Thus, Huang Yi, wielding his two axes, transformed into a whirlwind, continuously spinning within the Unbeatable Team’s ranks, and with the addition of his other group attack abilities, the Unbeatable Team began to face a rigorous test.

"Everyone maintain your formation, don’t panic, and priests, keep the healing up! We have good gear; we can withstand it." Unbeaten, seeing the situation, immediately issued a command, "First Squad, focus your attack on Instakill!"

As his words fell, a small squad of ranged attackers within the team launched a fierce assault on Huang Yi! Meanwhile, the rest remained still, conserving their magic value, demonstrating strict discipline.

The attacking squad, with only about twenty members, did not unleash overwhelming abilities that could darken the sky; the attacks even appeared somewhat sparse and sporadic.

Yet, when their attack landed on Huang Yi, it caused significant damage, his health points abruptly dropping to 68%!

Huang Yi, mid-spin, was taken aback by this development. He was acutely aware of his own resilience; his equipment was top-level, his race and class had corresponding talents, and he had invested in the seventh, eighth, and ninth layers of life and defense in War Soul. This level of resilience put him on par with the leading Guardian Riders of the Great Guilds, and he also possessed Legal Protection, only sustaining up to 10 instances of damage per second, rendering swarm tactics ineffective.

But now, after just one attack from this twenty-person squad, his health had dropped to 68%! This indicated that there were at least ten attackers with enormous attack power capable of posing a lethal threat to him!

His [Legal Protection] talent had failed to shield him for the first time!

This defense had been cracked!

At that moment, the small squad launched another assault, raining down their skills on Huang Yi!

Huang Yi quickly stopped spinning and hurled a Heavy Judgment at a nearby enemy low on health, pulverizing him on the spot.

This was his strongest single-target attack, inflicting damage over twenty-fold that of Judgment. With a single blow, he turned that critically wounded enemy into a pile of flesh.

Right then, an Essence of Life floated from the enemy’s corpse, bolstering Huang Yi and restoring 20% of his health points!

Almost simultaneously, the squad’s attack landed on Huang Yi again, knocking down the health points he had just regained.

"Good! Our tactic is effective! We’ve cracked the Immortal Body of Instakill. Feather, take control of Instakill immediately!" Unbeaten commanded, seeing the effect.

Meanwhile, Unbeaten aimed his sharp sword towards Huang Yi from afar, and an invisible cold light seemed to shoot straight at him.

Suddenly, Huang Yi felt as if he had been targeted, his spine tingling with a cold dread.

This was the most dangerous sensation he had experienced facing another player so far, a killing intent from a master of his own caliber.

Huang Yi made a split-second decision to leave this place of trouble. The Unbeatable Team was not on the same level as any team he had faced before; they had the capability to trap him here.

However, just as he decided to retreat, a ground spike suddenly surged up beneath his feet, stunning him on the spot.

This was unmistakably the Earth Mage’s control skill, Ground Spike, and there was only one such spike. Unbeaten had clearly arranged for a specialist to target him with this skill, not having everyone toss various control skills at him in a thoughtless manner, wasting their magic value.

At the same time, the twenty-member squad kept attacking Huang Yi, dropping his health points down to 40% in an instant! A couple more hits like that, and he would be drained completely.

"Special Pardon!" Huang Yi quickly removed his dizziness, and once again brought down a Heavy Judgment on a nearby enemy low on health, killing him instantly and recovering 20% of his health points.

"Wang You, apply control to Instakill!" At that moment, Unbeaten commanded again. He maintained his stance, pointing his sword at Huang Yi, but did not rush forward, continuing to exert pressure on Huang Yi.

Suddenly, another mage from the Unbeatable Group cast a blue radiance of skill at Huang Yi. This mage, named "Wang You," was an Arcane Mage and had just used a famous control skill of the Arcane Mage called "Sheep Transformation," which could temporarily turn an enemy into a harmless little sheep, unable to make any attack.

In the blink of an eye, this skill’s radiance enveloped Huang Yi!

The next moment, Huang Yi’s valiant figure suddenly turned into a white little sheep, looking around left and right, even letting out a "baa" sound that echoed throughout the arena, displaying an innocuous and extremely naive charm.

In his heart, Huang Yi couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh. Unbeaten indeed had a strategy, choosing to separate and control multiple people with different control skills, which was exactly what he feared the most.

When he was in Dragon City, he had once killed Feng Zhi’s three hundred thousand people. In that battle, there was no order to their fighting; all kinds of control skills were thrown on him at once. And his "Special Pardon" skill could remove all negative statuses at once and for the following minute grant immunity to those same negative effects.

Although this skill was powerful, the countermeasure was simple: use different control skills on him at staggered intervals. That way, even if he used Special Pardon, it could only remove one of the control effects, and he would only be immune to that particular control for the next minute.

He had just used Special Pardon to rid himself of the dizziness, which meant that for the following minute, he could only be immune to the dizziness status and not the sheep transformation.

On this occasion, Huang Yi was truly at a disadvantage; it was unrealistic for him alone to confront Unbeaten’s five hundred-person team.

He had no choice but to change his tactics now.

At this moment, Huang Yi, in his sheep form, was powerless to break free from the transformation and could only endure it stiffly.

The Unbeatable Team’s squad that was attacking him continued their full-force assault.

Huang Yi’s health points plummeted rapidly, dropping below 30%!

"Oh! Instakill is too hasty this time, this is the Unbeatable Team, after all. There’s no way he can take on five hundred of them alone!"

"Yeah, now Instakill’s health points have suddenly dropped to 30%, the situation is pretty grim! And the Arcane Mage’s sheep transformation lasts for 3 seconds, I fear Instakill won’t make it through!"

"I didn’t expect God of Slaughter to be so careless and throw away his life!"

Some of the audience witnessing Huang Yi’s disadvantage began discussing fervently, and many sounded worried for him.

Another second passed, and Huang Yi’s health points were down to 17%. If he took another wave of attack, he would be wiped out!

At this point, the Heroes’ Guild was extremely anxious, wanting to step in to rescue him. Some had even taken a few steps forward, ready to respond.

But right at that moment, Huang Yi’s sheep transformation abruptly disappeared!

The entire arena was stunned!

This had only been a second and a bit, and Huang Yi didn’t possess any control removal skills, but the sheep transformation had disappeared so abruptly, as if the duration of the skill had ended.

No one understood what had happened.

At that time, only Huang Yi knew what was going on. His Rare Species Beast King had a racial talent called "Body of Nature"—all negative status durations were reduced by 50%. The sheep transformation was supposed to last 3 seconds, but with this talent, it only lasted 1.5 seconds.

He hadn’t valued this talent much because with "Special Pardon" he could directly remove negative statuses, but now that Special Pardon was on cooldown, this talent finally shone.

Huang Yi didn’t give Unbeaten another chance; he vanished into thin air from his spot!

"He might have gone invisible! Second Squad, use group attack skills on the spot where Instakill disappeared!" Unbeaten quickly reacted, issuing the command right away.

A team of Elemental Mage players immediately launched an area-of-effect attack towards the spot where Huang Yi had disappeared. Elemental Mages, whether Fire Mages, Ice Mages, or Earth Mages, all had powerful group attack abilities.

Instantly, a bombardment of group attack skills’ radiance from fire, ice, and other attributes smashed onto the spot where Huang Yi had vanished, nearly flooding the area!

The Unbeatable Team and all the spectators were intently watching the spot where Huang Yi disappeared, waiting for him to be blasted out!

Quickly, the skill radiance dissipated, leaving the spot empty and bare, with nothing there!

Huang Yi had truly disappeared!

"Hmm? Why isn’t he there?" Unbeaten muttered to himself, a look of confusion flashing across his face.

He had specifically studied Huang Yi, familiarizing himself with many of his skills and abilities, and had come up with various countermeasures.

The reason he was able to overcome Huang Yi’s "Legal Protection" and "Special Pardon" before was because he had deduced the effects of these two abilities based on various intelligence.

But this scene before him was something he had never encountered before!
