Heroes' Prison

Chapter 584 - 560

Huang Yi’s figure moved swiftly up the steps, and when he reached the middle of the mountain, he looked up at the sky as if calculating something. After a while, he nodded in satisfaction and immediately teleported away.

After appearing in the Teleport Plaza, Huang Yi immediately sent a notice to the five hundred-member Heroes’ Guild formed for the martial arts contest: "Unless it’s a very special circumstance, all ranged class professionals, stop whatever you are doing and immediately rush to the Teleport Plaza. For those who are far away, you may use the teleport function of the Hero’s Ring on me to arrive within three minutes!"

Having issued the notice, he then sent a private message to the Dungeon Group Leader Knight: "Including the ranged class of the Heroes’ Guild, immediately gather five thousand ranged professionals, no melee, all must be ranged, fewer priests. We will form a team and go for the first kill! Be here within ten minutes!"

Soon, the Knight replied with a message: "Okay!"

"[System Prompt]: [Qianye Fengwu] wants to teleport to your side, do you agree?"

"[System Prompt]: [Lei Jun] wants to teleport to your side, do you agree?"

"[System Prompt]: [Jue Yi] wants to teleport to your side, do you agree?"

Just then, Huang Yi suddenly received a multitude of system prompts from members of the Heroes’ Guild. He chose to agree to all of them.

In an instant, a crowd appeared around Huang Yi. These well-dressed, well-equipped players were discernibly skilled and quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding players, who turned to look their way.

"Everyone join the group, enter the instance, and head for the mountain!" Huang Yi immediately opened a group for five thousand people and spoke to the teleported Heroes’ Guild members.

The Heroes’ Guild members quickly joined the group and disappeared, teleporting into the secret realm.

"Big Brother God of Slaughter, aren’t you soloing?" At this moment, a petite and delicate female player in her early twenties asked Huang Yi. A cute white kitten perched on her shoulder playfully licked its paw and tilted its head, staring at Huang Yi with big eyes full of spiritual energy, as if very curious.

This female player was a high-ranking member of the Heroes’ Guild named Qianye Fengwu. Her profession was a Beast Tamer, a rare class of the Hunter type. During the martial arts contest, she had performed outstandingly, and Huang Yi had promoted her to the official leader of the Hunter Hall. Like Nameless of the Assassins’ Hall and Mirror Broken, she was not a criminal from Rose Prison but a skilled player absorbed into the Second World.

Huang Yi turned to look at Qianye Fengwu, smiled slightly, and reached out to pet the kitten on her shoulder, saying, "I handled the earlier part solo, but I’ll need everyone’s help later on. You Hunters are important for ranged damage, so give it your all later."

"Meow~" The little kitten on Qianye Fengwu’s shoulder, seeing Huang Yi reach out to pet it, immediately closed its eyes and comfortably enjoyed his touch, appearing very content.

"Then, Big Brother God of Slaughter, I’m going in!" Qianye Fengwu nodded her head, petted the kitten on her shoulder, and then teleported into the Tower of Pantheons.

Before long, one by one, the ranged-class professionals of the Heroes’ Guild teleported to Huang Yi’s side, joined the team, and teleported into the secret realm.

"[System Prompt]: [Xiao Chunzi] wants to teleport to your side, do you agree?" Just then, Huang Yi received a teleport request from Xiao Chunzi. She had the day off, was not attending classes, and happened to be online.

Huang Yi immediately chose to agree.

The next moment, the diminutive figure of Xiao Chunzi appeared beside Huang Yi. She turned her head, quickly noticed Huang Yi, and immediately grasped his hand, looking up and asking in a sweet voice, "Brother, weren’t you soloing? I was playing with Little Dragon and Little Wang! Little Dragon is so naughty! It doesn’t even listen to me, you need to scold it!"

"Alright! Once we get this first kill, I will scold it! Little sister, you go into the instance first and wait for me on the mountain," Huang Yi nodded and then gently stroked Xiao Chunzi’s smooth hair, sending her into the Tower of Pantheons.

Apart from the members of the Heroes’ Guild, on another front, the Knight also sent messages to the leaders of the top one hundred groups within the Heroes’ Guild, asking them to send their best ranged professionals over.

Now with over twenty million members, roughly half of the Heroes’ Guild’s players were in a team. With more than ten thousand groups, ranking in the top one hundred was already a sign of being extremely elite players. Orders quickly cascaded down, reaching the ears of elite ranged players who may have been scattered across various cities but teleported to Dragon City as soon as they received the message.

Soon, Huang Yi’s team filled up with nearly four thousand nine hundred ranged professionals, showing extreme efficiency. Seeing that the team was nearly at full capacity, Huang Yi decided not to wait any longer, entered the instance himself, and quickly climbed to the top of the mountain. However, his incarnation remained outside and did not enter.

At this moment, all the members of the team had already climbed to the peak of the secret realm, whispering excitedly to each other. Some of them hadn’t even fought alongside Huang Yi before, but now, at last, the opportunity had come. However, no one knew exactly what Huang Yi had called them there to do. This was a team hastily put together, without any prior coordination or practice in the five-thousand-player mode tactics of the Master of War, so there was a bit of a sense of herding ducks onto a perch.

After Huang Yi reached the mountaintop, the more than four thousand nine hundred members all fell silent and turned their gazes to him. Huang Yi glanced around at the crowd and said, "Today, I have assembled everyone here to take down the first kill of the Master of War. Later, none of you are to attack the BOSS. It has many skills with extremely wide ranges, and although you are ranged attack professionals who stand at a distance, you can still be hit by its attacks, and it can easily instakill you. I will single combat it first; only after you hear my command should you attack. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The voices of the five thousand were uniform and thunderous, filled with fighting spirit.

"Good! Buff me up!" Huang Yi then issued another command.

Soon, the members of the team with group buffs swiftly cast their buffs, especially Xiao Chunzi and Overlord. Their group buffs were extremely powerful.

Seeing his attributes soar by a great margin, Huang Yi nodded in satisfaction. This was much stronger than when he was soloing. Then, hefting two broadaxes, he rushed towards the distant Master of War at high speed.

"Mortal, do you know? Your presence has sparked a war!" Soon, the Master of War recited its scripted line, clearly not very intelligent.

After successfully getting the Master of War’s attention, Huang Yi sped to the edge of the mountaintop, with the Master of War closely following behind him as they raced together. Each step of its colossal form shook the ground with tremors.

Before long, Huang Yi had brought the Master of War to the edge of the mountaintop, beyond which lay a very steep descent.

"I pronounce—Master of War, dead!" At that moment, Huang Yi unleashed Judgment upon the Master of War!

"Boom!" Instantly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and thunder and lightning roared. A massive bolt of lightning struck down, splitting into two and hitting both Huang Yi and the Master of War, drawing them up into the air and isolating them from the outside world.

"Come forth, Barbarian God!" Huang Yi swiftly summoned the powerful aid of the Barbarian God!

"Pursuit!" Huang Yi charged towards the Master of War at high speed, stunning it with a single blow.

Control skills of common classes had no effect on bosses, but those of rare classes were not subject to this limitation, and even bosses could be afflicted.

"Heavy Judgment!" Huang Yi’s axe smashed down hard on the Master of War, and, luckily, he landed a critical hit, taking away a full 0.5% of its health!

This time, Huang Yi’s soloing pace was obviously faster than any previous attempt. When he had soloed before, he had been practicing and did not waste energy values on Judgment. This time, not only did he have a plethora of buffs on him, but he also executed Judgment on the boss. After the First Transformation, he could boost his attack power by 20% in the Void Battlefield, and the health of the Master of War decreased rapidly.

At this moment, the nearly five thousand members on the ground all looked up, their gaze transfixed on the battle between Huang Yi and the Master of War above. This was a scene countless people around the world wanted to see but never had the chance to watch—no one knew how Huang Yi managed to solo a boss designed for five thousand players. They were the first to witness it with their own eyes.

At this moment, they had forgotten everything, only staring up at the silhouette in the sky with devout eyes, as if they were on a pilgrimage.

The figure in their eyes stood at the pinnacle of the world, performing alone. Wielding two broadaxes, he furiously attacked the Master of War; his skill usage was incredibly casual but by no means chaotic. His movements were measured, constantly eluding the BOSS’s grasp. His fight wasn’t flashy, dazzling, or pretty, yet it was markedly effective, as the health of the Master of War visibly dwindled in increments.

Right then, everyone felt that this five-thousand-player-mode Master of War seemed to have become a single-player-mode BOSS in front of Huang Yi, seemingly easy to defeat.

Just at that moment, a figure suddenly flashed into the entrance of the dungeon. The figure was none other than Huang Yi’s Incarnation, who after entering swiftly climbed the steep stairs.

He had intentionally left his Incarnation outside, to enter after the fight. Had his Incarnation also been in the secret realm, the moment he initiated Judgment, the Incarnation would have been drawn up into the sky as well, losing its freedom—a small tactical play.

Soon, Huang Yi’s Incarnation reached the mountaintop and arrived under the Void Battlefield where Huang Yi’s original body was located. The two, in the Void Battlefield and on the ground below, coordinated with each other, adjusting their positions.

"Alright, everyone listen to my command! Immediately move to my side, spread out to the edge of the mountaintop on my side." At that moment, Huang Yi’s Incarnation suddenly issued a command to the team. (To be continued.
