MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Invincible Scroll
 

“Don’t let your guard down, healers are under tremendous pressure right now,” said Li Yao.

This strategy was the simplest method. The opponent wanted to run wild without being troubled by the hate mechanism.

No matter how excellent their skills, problems were inevitable, thus Li Yao decided on this head-on approach.

He was ready to let them run wild. Li Yao was not going to engage.

Li Yao directly chose to have the team gather together in a corner of the hall.

The benefit of this was clear. No matter how wild the boss got, as long as the tanks stood strong, it couldn’t inflict much damage on the squishy members and healers.

Most of the healers were low mobility characters and had minimal displacement abilities. Evading the boss’s rapid charges was extremely difficult.

Moreover, in a scattered team, while healing and simultaneously dodging the boss’s abilities is an extremely difficult task.

This required the damage dealers to not stray too far from the healers while evading, otherwise, the healing chain would break.

This was the challenging part of this phase. Individual skill occupied a significant part, but teamwork and coordination were also crucial.

This stage alone introduced a huge test for the team.

If it weren’t for the race for the first kill, Li Yao would definitely use this boss to train the team, honing their skills and fostering teamwork and coordination.

Now, Li Yao had no choice but to resort to this turtling strategy.

No matter how berserk the boss got, they would turtle in one place. The advantages were clear, as were the disadvantages.

This was a pure contest of raw power. The boss’s Arrow Rain never ceased, constantly decreasing the team’s health.

The pressure on the healers was immense, if they couldn’t hold on, Li Yao and his team would face the risk of total annihilation.

The boss wasn’t constantly charging at their location, so their opportunities to attack the boss were limited. The problem was the relentless Arrow Rain.

The more pressing problem was dealing with the bosses’ other abilities targeting the tanks, the healers were under tremendous pressure.

“I can’t keep the tank’s health up,” Da Vinci said.

Li Yao’s expression changed. “Start burst healing, the boss’s health is already below one hundred thousand.”

“I started long ago, but I really can’t keep up,” Da Vinci said helplessly.

Li Yao frowned and said, “Tongtong, give up dealing damage, place the Healing Tide Totem and cast Healing Chain.”

“Ok,” Tongtong quickly abandoned her offense to restore health.

“It still doesn’t feel enough,” said Unparalleled Seductress.

Now, the close-quarters combat team began using their crossbows to deal damage, striving for more output.

“In that case, swap to your healing equipment and join the healing team,” Li Yao said.

“No problem, but we’ll be short of a tank. Will it work?” asked Guardian Angel worriedly.

“I’ll recall the Firehawk and bring out the Hydra, along with Feng Yi’s Stone Demon, it should be fine here,” Li Yao quickly swapped his pet.

Guardian Angel also switched to his healing equipment and began healing. He had plenty of healing skills, adding Tongtong to the mix, they still fell short when compared to Da Vinci, but they were still much better than average healers.

With that, the pressure on the healing front eased a bit.

“The boss is about to perform a huge burst attack, I am afraid we might lose members,” said Unparalleled Seductress.

Li Yao was of course aware of this; when Old Khan’s health drops to zero, he would self-explode, which is hard to deal with.

“Don’t worry about it, you just need to focus on dealing damage,” a glimmer of resoluteness flashed in Li Yao’s eyes.

Although due to turtling, their time to deal damage decreased, as long as they could maintain their heals, they could continue. Eventually, the boss was defeated.

“Ignorant mortals, do you really think you can thwart the scheme of the Nightmare God?” As Old Khancollapsed in an explosion, the shadow of a large tree emerged.

Boom…

Members of Starfire immediately tensed up. They knew the impact of this explosion. Not even Li Yao was able to survive, and Fruits was also slain as a result of the explosion.

Since they were currently turtling in a corner and Li Yao hadn’t given any new orders, they were effectively waiting for death.

At this time, the ones near Li Yao saw something appearing in Li Yao’s hand.

“Invincible Scroll,” cried Unparalleled Seductress.

All team members hearing this felt their hearts pound in their throats. This so-called Invincible Scroll…

Upon first seeing the scroll, everyone had the same thought: it’s a waste.

First, collecting such a scroll requires three thousand Crystal Cores. Second, the scroll only provides less than half a second of invincibility after being shredded.

A half-second is, to begin with, very short, much less less than half a second. Although it was a group effect, the team members did not understand why Li Yao wanted to collect such a thing.

After killing the High Priest, Li Yao also didn’t use the scroll, causing everyone to forget it existed, but now seeing Li Yao taking it out, everyone was extremely nervous.

Victory or defeat hinged on how Li Yao used this scroll, timing is essential.

Li Yao’s eyes were firmly fixed in front. Just as the shock wave was about to hit, he suddenly tore the scroll.

Boom……

Everyone saw the shock wave hitting a green light shield that dissipated as quickly as it appeared. Then, everything was calm.

“Brilliant.”

That was what everyone thought. In such a tense situation, not making a single mistake is something only Li Yao could do.

If anyone else attempted it, not to say they would fail, but they would probably have to try multiple times to precisely grasp the timing.

To succeed as Li Yao did on the first try, attributing it to luck is something no one would believe.

“What are you all standing around for? Everyone spread out. Tongtong and Guardian, you are done with your tasks, switch back to your original roles. Fruits, go and establish aggro. All the damage dealers, give it everything you have. I’ve got two more scrolls like that. If we don’t get the world first in three tries, we’ll still be stuck in the second phase,” Li Yao said loudly.

The members of Starfire immediately sobered up from their excited state. Three chances, they could not afford to waste Crystal Cores now!

Just like Li Yao said, if they couldn’t achieve the first kill in three tries, it would be a severe delay.

Even though they knew that all top guilds were still on the second boss, nothing was certain. Some team might be pioneering the final boss like them.

Better safe than sorry. Thinking of this, the eyes of Starfire team members turned red. The first kill was right in front of them, this was the time to give it their all.

As the shadow of the tree solidified, the Starfire team finally got a clear look – this huge war machine was the Old Ancient Tree Boss that had deceived them.

“Ignorant mortals, thank you all. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to control this Altar,” the Ancient Tree Boss no longer had its previous harmonious nature. Instead, it became infuriated and ferocious…
