Chapter 597: Curse SongEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
For a mortal to lift a hand against a god, there would definitely be punishnt for this defiance.
Not only did Li Yi’s Overlord Arrow fail to harm King of Souls, he even triggered Punishnt.
Apart from his body restrained of control and the inability to use skills, Thunder of Divine Punishnt struck once every three seconds.
Ka-tst!
A bolt of blue lightning struck Li Yi on the head, disregarding his DEF and causing -17,333 damage.
Li Yi’s HP at 20,000 was quite good for an Archer. If it were any regular Archer, this thunderbolt would have instantly wiped them out.
It was not just Li Yi who suffered this consequence, it was the sa lightning experience for the three main tanks at a fixed -17,333 damage each ti. The six healers scrambled to cast group heals.
"Punishnt! Punishnt! Punishnt!"
Anyone who dared lay a finger on King of Souls was not spared from the divine punishnt of a motionless body and a personal dark cloud of lightning...
The six healers had no problem casting their heals on the four thunder-struck targets but the situation was out of their hands when half the party could not escape from the thunderstorm.
With HP bars barely rising with group heals and single heals singling out everyone else, the situation turned for the worse...
"Holy Light Illumination!"
Fire Ice activated an Epic-level skill, gradually healing all mbers who were victims of thunder strikes.
As healers engaged in a healing frenzy, King of Souls kept itself busy by grabbing the Dark Paladin, the backup main tank by the head and at the spur of a gale, the latter suffered the sa fate as Unending Unmatched and the rest.
"No one can stop , I am god, the only god in the world!"
King of Souls gently spread its arms apart in the representation of a savior, emitting a dark glow from its whole body.
Nobody was able to attack it now because all its attackers lay paralyzed on the ground being struck by thunder.
"Mm, co out, my puppet. Co play with these asly creatures..."
King of Souls waved its arm, stirring a black pentagonal whirlpool on the ground, in which Great Lord Moigne clad in black armor walked out of.
Great Lord Moigne and Dark Pope Shirui were both killed by King of Souls and although their souls have disappeared, their bodies were still present. They have now beco its puppets to do its bidding.
"Holy Light Impact!"
The mont Moigne made an appearance, he unleashed a dark ray of light onto the entire party.
With the originally pure glow now in black, the damage value was not the only thing enhanced as it now carried a special effect, Weakening. As long as the dark light ca into contact, the target’s attributes would temporarily be lowered while the damage inflicted would increase. The value would continue to pile on until the end of the battle unless Dispel was launched.
With the entire party’s HP dropping and all 25 mbers in Weakened state, their defense crumbled.
In Li Yi’s party first attempt, King of Souls was at full HP while they suffered TPK...
Brother Windcloud Nine cursed, "Sigh, f*ck this sh*t. If only we can take a look at Fluttering Snow Alliance’s strategy."
Li Yi smiled, "There’s no point in looking into theirs, they only took off 3% HP."
"Er, you’re right."
As this was the exploration stage, everyone was still fumbling through tactics and strategies. There were a lot of the supposed Soul Gate’s ultimate strategy posts on the forums but it was obvious the content was bullshit and no help in actually tackling the dungeon.
It was then Shangguan Bailu spoke, "Don’t attack King of Souls in the first segnt. Wait until Moigne appears before we gang up on it."
Apart from this, there was nothing added because no one knows what would happen next...
At the start of the second attempt, the three main tanks stood by their party mbers instead of charging up, patiently waiting for King of Souls to make the first strike.
King of Souls glanced around without initiating the attack but coldly snorted after a long while, "No one can stop , I am god, the only god in the world!"
"Mm, co out, my puppet. Co and play with these asly creatures..."
At the ergence of a pentagonal whirlpool, Moigne walked out and activated Holy Light Impact.
"Party, don’t forget to heal. Main tanks, you’re up!" Shangguan Bailu ordered.
Sprinting ahead like a cannonball, Unending Unmatched swung his sword and chopped Moigne repeatedly, constantly disrupting the channeling bar on top of his head to the point of breaking it.
The joint-forces of the three main tanks in encircling Moigne successfully disrupted Holy Light Impact.
"Holy Light, lend
your power!"
Clasping a pitch-black greatsword in his hand, Moigne shouted out loud and sliced the three main tanks by the waist.
[-32113]
[-12334]
[-24567]
Out of the three main tanks, the person with the highest DEF was definitely Brother Windcloud Nine and when faced with a boss with high ATK, this attribute paid off.
"Those with DPS, attack!"
With all mbers opening fire, Li Yi forewent Overlord Arrow and opted for teor Arrow.
[-6556]
[-7566]
It was gratifying for Li Yi to learn that Orange Quality Bow’s Guard Break was still effective towards Moigne. As Guard Break increase in incrents, the damage dealt would too increase.
Qian’er was not one to back down. With the whole of her Orange Quality Scepter engulfed in flas, a re huge fireball could deal around 20,000 in damage.
The Wizard class inflicted the highest damage with the simplest movents. Without the need to run around like the ranged class, they could just remain where they were to fire attacks.
Moigne’s attacks were incredibly powerful and at a high frequency too. It was a little forceful for the three main tanks to take turns in fighting him but fortunately, the party has six sharp healers who maintained the main tanks’ HP above 80%, allowing the battle to go by smoothly.
"Enough, enough, you idiot! Return!"
When Moigne’s HP hit the 50% mark, King of Souls, in a burst of anger, recalled him back into alternate space and released Dark Pope Shirui.
Dark Pope Shirui was the highest ruler of Cursing Sect with the ability to communicate directly with Evil God. However, she suffered the sa fate as Moigne, having her soul absorbed by King of Souls and only her empty shell of a body left behind.
"I curse that blood will shed! I curse that fear will paralyze you! I curse that insanity overcos you!"
With the appearance of Dark Pope Shirui, she was quick to unleash Huge Curse Spell.
Similar to the effect when battling rmaid Princess, everyone was spinning on the ground. However, the only difference was that Dark Pope’s Curse was concentrated on a single target instead of the entire party. In other words, her Huge Curse Spell was inferior to that of rmaid Princess’ lalalala.
"Priests, prepare to Dispel, main tanks, take turns in taunting and pulling. Those with DPS, pay attention, don’t attack too fast!"
Shangguan Bailu delivered her commands calmly and without a hint of anxiousness, allowing ample ti for her party mbers to prepare.
At the end of Huge Curse Spell, Shirui followed up with an AoE skill, Soul Curse.
As this move was aid at players’ soul, DEF was disregarded and any contact would cause HP limit to diminish.
Shirui spread her palms apart, casting Soul Curse one after another. Party mbers who were affected by this move found their HP value descending downwards, yet were unable to be healed as their HP cap would be reduced with their HP altogether. It would only resu to normal after the battle was over.
A minute later, Brother Windcloud Nine’s 200,000
HP beca 140 hundred, Li Yi’s 20,000 HP was now 11,000, and Ouyang Qian’s 10,000 HP was left with 3,000. Due to the different classes, the degree of reduction by Soul Curse varied too.
Mad Dragon could not hold his tongue, "Motherf*cker, this thing still has 70% blood. Even if we are able to kill her, we’ll end up without any blood..."
It was no wonder Fluttering Snow Alliance took so long to only diminish 3% of King of Souls’ HP. It was nearly impossible with this insane HP reduction system.
Another minute passed and Dark Pope Shirui’s HP has dropped to 40% now, angering King of Souls once more.
"D*mn thing, don’t embarrass yourself, return!"
With the ergence of a black whirlpool, Shirui was slowly sucked back into it.
The overall HP cap has decreased to 70% at this point, even Brother Windcloud Nine with the thickest blood was left with 30,000
HP while the rest were less than 10,000...
At the start of the second segnt, King of Souls personally made a move. Transforming its arms into tentacles, they extended towards the party...
One arm transford into ten tentacles so two arms would make that twenty tentacles. Compared to Normal mode, the number of captives has now doubled.
Tst tst...
Twenty mbers of the party were wrapped by these tentacles and carried into the sky before they were thrown onto the ground tumbling...
Who to hit, who to save? Who was to be healed? Who was not to be healed?
The remaining five of two healers and three DPS-dominants grieved without tears as they gazed at their flying teammates.
"Save the healers first, follow my mark!"
Shangguan Bailu added a skull symbol on one of the tentacles.
Healers went all out and activated their Epic-level skill for group healing.
Those with DPS were not holding back as well in unleashing their major skills to blast the tentacles entangling the healers.
After three minutes in going at it, four mbers fell to their deaths while one healer was rescued. With all three healers pouring their effort in healing, the average HP of the party only fell to around 30%.
It was the best they could do...
Shangguan Bailu issued another order, "Save Guild Master first! Then Ouyang Qian!"
With all three healers ensuring the party’s safety, next it was all about increasing the firepower, and Archer Dark Wing and Fire Wizard Ouyang Qian were the best candidates to achieve this.
Upon being rescued, Li Yi promptly activated God Mode to fire at the tentacle constricting Ouyang Qian.
Overlord Arrow was not the best selection as it could cause King of Souls to unleash Divine Punishnt on everyone.
Soon, Ouyang Qian was rescued and together, they opened fire to save the remaining healers...
Anxious and occupied, they faced barrage after barrage of attacks. By the ti Li Yi’s party managed to rescue everyone, King of Souls coldly blurted and stabbed its twenty tentacles into the ground.
Du du! Du du!
As if there was sothing creeping underground, the earth underneath everyone’s feet began to quake.
Shangguan Bailu shrieked, "Watch out below! Jump to dodge!"
Pft tst —
A tentacle surfaced from the ground, penetrating Shangguan Bailu whose feet have not left the ground and lifting her to the sky...
Having front row seats in witnessing King of Souls’ quivering tentacle exiting Shangguan Bailu’s mouth, the party mbers were left with a sick feeling in their stomach...
