Free Web NovelChapter 122: Joining Forces?
Soon, the national fate boss’s Berserk period would be over.
However, everyone’s attack speed had also noticeably decreased.
At this moment, everyone was paying even closer attention to the players around them.
Especially toward players from other countries; their eyes were filled with heavy wariness.
At this time, Red Bean Cake moved closer to Lucien.
Compared to the foreigners, she still trusted Lucien more.
Lucien also took this opportunity to release his eighteen summoned creatures.
He hadn’t dared to release them earlier because this boss had too many area-of-effect skills.
He didn’t want his summons to suffer any losses.
The health of these summons was equal to his own health.
If they were accidentally insta-killed by the boss, it would ruin his subsequent plans.
The moment the eighteen summoned creatures appeared, many people’s expressions changed slightly.
They had all heard rumors about Falling into the Human World’s terrifying summons before, but seeing them with their own eyes was still shocking.
"In a bit, I’ll take out the three from the Lighthouse Country first. Keep an eye on the surroundings. If anyone from any country prepares to make a move, don’t hold back."
Lucien said calmly to Red Bean Cake.
Not far away, the three SSS Talent players from the Lighthouse Country also slowed down their movements.
The few of them stayed together, looking at the other players with great caution.
"In another ten seconds or so, the boss will enter its weakened state. By then, we won’t need them; the three of us can take down the national fate boss ourselves."
"We need to strike first to gain the upper hand and take out these foreign players."
James’s words made the others nod in agreement.
"Alright, we’ll strike the moment the boss enters its weakened state. We only have one chance. Since the three of us are SSS-Rank, they’ll likely join forces."
In fact, they knew very well that this time, except for the three from the Never-Falling Empire who survived thanks to Aurei Artica...
...most players from other countries had already died.
Even among those who survived, only one player remained from each country.
As the three with the strongest talents, they naturally became the focus of everyone’s attention. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
However, while they were speaking, Lucien activated a skill again.
"Thunder God Help Me!"
Looking at the phantom of the Thunder Duke, everyone couldn’t help but gulp.
They all had a deep impression of this skill.
A single skill could take away millions of the boss’s health points.
Just as everyone thought Lucien was attacking the boss, the Thunder Duke phantom suddenly changed direction at the last moment and charged straight toward the Lighthouse Country’s side.
Seeing that the attack was aimed at them, the faces of the Lighthouse Country players changed instantly.
A barrier suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of them, blocking Lucien’s attack.
However, to their despair, Lucien’s move seemed to trigger a chain reaction.
The remaining players also attacked the Lighthouse Country players with tacit understanding.
Various fireballs, arrow rains, and lightning spells rained down upon them.
The protective barrier in front of the three lasted less than a second before being shattered by the collective attacks.
These thirty people could be said to be the top thirty in the world.
Even with three SSS Talent players working together, without invincibility skills, it was impossible to survive.
Soon, three white lights flashed. The three SSS-Rank players from the Lighthouse Country didn’t even have time to react before they vanished into white light.
At that moment, everyone once again attacked Lucien with perfect coordination.
After all, now that the strongest trio had been defeated, it was only natural to deal with Lucien, who had performed the most impressively.
Seeing this situation, Red Bean Cake was also caught in the crossfire.
Even with her overall defense greatly increased and the god-tier item Damage Transfer, she only lasted less than ten seconds before being eliminated.
As for Lucien, he was much stronger than Red Bean Cake.
Because of his thick shield, Lucien withstood everyone’s attacks and even found time to counterattack.
Meanwhile, his summons, relying on their high attributes, also launched attacks on the surrounding players.
The battlefield instantly descended into complete chaos.
Explosions continuously erupted around Mount Fuji, while all kinds of skills lit up the sky.
In just a short while, fewer than fifteen people remained.
The shield Lucien had accumulated while fighting the boss was finally broken.
Along with it, Lucien’s summons began to die one by one.
Even though Lucien used his Healing Spell to save them, he couldn’t keep up.
Seeing this, Lucien knew this wasn’t going to work.
If this continued, he would surely be besieged to death by these people.
These people were vastly different from the so-called elites of the Nine Great Guilds.
Their attack power was too high; he couldn’t withstand it at all.
Looking at the boss not far away, it still had 28% of its health remaining.
Lucien’s eyes darted around. Having made up his mind, he retreated directly out of the combat area.
Soon, thanks to his high movement speed, he finally escaped everyone’s attack range.
Now, his ghost artifact only had one-third of its effect on the national fate boss.
In other words, he could take off 10% of its health in one go.
He would slip away for now and return when the boss’s health was low.
Seeing Lucien slip away without looking back, the others looked at each other.
At this point, no one dared to be the first to attack.
They could join forces to besiege others, but they couldn’t guarantee others wouldn’t do the same to them.
At this point, Aurei Artica stepped forward and said, "There are only fifteen of us left. How about we focus on the boss first and then let each person’s skill decide the winner at the end?"
"If we keep fighting each other, I’m afraid we won’t be able to defeat the boss."
After all, the boss, with nearly 30% health remaining, was watching them like a hawk.
If only the people from one country were left, they really couldn’t be sure they could defeat it.
If that happened, they would suffer a massive loss.
