Mighty Lord

Chapter 1036: 416

"The BOSS is too strong, retreat immediately after disengaging from combat!" Without any surprises, faced with an opponent like Zhou Tian who seemed utterly unbeatable, those players naturally made the decision to fully retreat at the earliest opportunity, according to their style of conduct. If it were not for the limitations of the combat state that prevented them from using most of their escape tactics, it’s likely that many of those players would have already fled by now!

Even though being in a combat state rendered many of their tactics useless, once the leading player made a decision, all players except those entangled by Zhou Tian’s replicated Beastmen, turned and fled at the first chance they got.

To flee, as long as they got some distance from Zhou Tian, those players believed that they could use a Scroll to teleport back to the city once they exited combat. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Doing something like this was probably not uncommon for those players. And given their strength, honestly speaking, before this incident, they could have escaped most monsters they couldn’t defeat using such tactics. This was one of the players’ advantages, so even in a complete defeat, it wouldn’t be surprising if all the players managed to escape from the monsters.

If the Monster was versed in Spatial Rules, there would be no need to worry about the players fleeing. But Monsters with knowledge of Spatial Rules were far too rare, and even Zhou Tian only had a superficial understanding of them. In theory, if those players decided to flee, Zhou Tian wouldn’t be able to stop them.

However, even if the players’ thinking wasn’t wrong, fulfilling their desired outcome still required a precondition.

They could only hope to escape from Zhou Tian if they managed to disengage from combat state. If they couldn’t exit the combat state at all, then they simply couldn’t flee.

To the players, the combat state seemed like just a game mechanic, but in reality, they were unaware if they were truly out of combat state—it all depended on the Monsters, like Zhou Tian. If the Monster was not far from the players or employed certain tactics to target them, the players would find it difficult to escape using a Space Scroll. Under such circumstances, the players were naturally considered to still be in combat state. But when the Monster could no longer affect the players, they could flee if they wanted.

At the moment, those players were still using the same tactics they employed against ordinary monsters to deal with Zhou Tian, which was a sure sign that they would not end up well. Trying to distance themselves from Zhou Tian and then use a Space Scroll to escape would be impossible without Zhou Tian’s permission, leaving them with no chance to escape.

Just as those players had managed to put a little distance between themselves and Zhou Tian, Zhou Tian, seeing their actions and without much thought, nearly instinctively sent out his replicated Beastmen. Zhou Tian didn’t expect his replicated Beastmen to kill all the players, but he was confident that their strength was sufficient to delay those distant players for a while. Once the replicated Beastmen held the fleeing players, Zhou Tian would be able to start cleaning up the enemies before him, one by one.

Streaks of White Light flickered, with Zhou Tian already commanding his replicated Beastmen to prevent the players from fleeing. Nonetheless, those players were significantly more intelligent than Zhou Tian’s replicas, and after employing some tactics, some immediately seized the opportunity to use Scrolls to escape. However, compared to those who escaped, a greater number of players were held back by the replicated Beastmen.

Zhou Tian paid no mind to the players fighting his replicated Beastmen; instead, once his mind was set, he launched a series of attacks against the players by his side.

If they had the strength to fight Zhou Tian, those players probably wouldn’t consider retreating. Since they opted to retreat, it inherently meant they admitted they were no match for Zhou Tian. Therefore, given the situation, once Zhou Tian attacked those players, they naturally found themselves in dire straits.

Those who encountered Zhou Tian faced death, and none of the players could evade that ’rule.’ Regardless of how desperately the players struggled and resisted, in no time at all, Zhou Tian had succeeded in annihilating the whole group of players around him. When Zhou Tian turned his attention to where his replicated Beastmen were, there was no likelihood of any further surprises in the battle that followed.

An absolute strength advantage left those players with nothing but despair against Zhou Tian—they couldn’t beat him and had no opportunity to escape. In the end, when Zhou Tian took action, the players could only watch helplessly as they were slaughtered. freēwebnovel.com

Looking at the many motionless players, Zhou Tian knew that most of them had already given up resisting. And in that situation, Zhou Tian would certainly not be courteous with them.

Whether those players gave up or not was meaningless to Zhou Tian—with his strength, he wasn’t worried about their resistance. Nonetheless, when many players surrendered, it made it a lot easier for Zhou Tian to deal with them.

What followed bore no surprises. Given Zhou Tian’s strength, especially since the players had already given up, killing them was nothing but child’s play.

In less than ten minutes, Zhou Tian and his replicated Beastmen had slaughtered those players to the last.

By the end of the battle, the team that had set out to take on Zhou Tian was left with only a few lucky survivors, while hundreds of elite players had fallen at his hands. While for those players, character death meant nothing more than a loss of time and Money, such a crushing defeat was more than enough to cause them torment. (To be continued.
