Chapter 865: Golden EyeEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Yi’s plan was very simple. He suggested using Sister Windcloud Nine as the sacrifice so that the rest of the team could clear the stage safely.
The Light Priest’s Territory Skill, God’s Protection, as well as Sister Windcloud Nine’s Tuhr Sword, could give them invincibility for five minutes. Li Yi wanted to make use of that.
Brother Windcloud Nine shook his head. "You probably don’t know this, bro, but these wraiths attack really weirdly. They ignore aggro completely and just attack the target at the very front first before they go for anyone else. You can use my wife as a target, sure, but she won’t be able to move once God’s Protection is active. No matter how the Sacred Sword attacks, the wraiths will just ignore it."
Li Yi smiled. "Don’t worry, I have my ways."
While God’s Protection was active, even the strongest Violent Warrior would be a sitting duck, unable to use any skills.
Brother Windcloud Nine looked slightly confused, but he had absolute faith in Li Yi, so he did not say anything more. He just held his sword and stood at the very front of the party, awaiting orders.
"Everyone, just run behind
later. Rember, never overtake . Just stay behind
at all tis."
Li Yi’s battle instructions were very simple. With that, even the airheaded Sister Windcloud Nine understood. She nodded fervently and said, "I got it, I’ll stay behind you."
However, Li Yi waved at her. "You won’t need to follow behind . Instead, you should run in front of
as much as you can."
"Huh?"
"The battle has begun. Main tanks, take your positions now!
"All mbers, charge!"
Li Yi’s orders ant that the twenty-five party mbers and a few other random players rushed at the graveyard pathway at the sa ti.
Li Yi yelled as he ran, "Get ready, Light Priests! Once I give the order, use God’s Protection on Sister Windcloud Nine!"
Sister Windcloud Nine panicked. "I-I-I can’t move once they use God’s Protection on . I won’t be able to run..."
"Aoooo— Wooo— Aooo."
Several dozen wraiths darted out from the graves and pounced at Brother Windcloud Nine, who was at the front of the pack.
Whoever ran to the very front would be the primary target of attack. Before the wraiths reached their target at the front, however, they would also attack the targets nearby.
When the wraiths pounced at them, seven players could not dodge in ti, and they ended up dying horribly. After that, their souls beca seven wraiths with no minds of their own, and they joined the pursuit of their party mates.
When the party had run more than thirty ters ahead, the wraiths suddenly picked up speed and killed another three players along the way.
"Use the Sacred Sword, Sister Nine! Good! Priests, use God’s Protection!"
A ray of holy light descended from the sky and enveloped Sister Windcloud Nine’s body. At the sa ti, she stopped completely.
"Jiaojiao, run as fast as you can!"
"Bam!"
Jiaojiao activated her Rocket Propellant and dashed more than twenty ters ahead. After that, she turned around and stretched her hand out to Sister Windcloud Nine.
"Death’s Grasp!"
A purple cord wrapped itself around Sister Nine and dragged her forward.
With the Lord of Disaster equipped, her Death’s Grasp could theoretically pull any humanoid being. Of course, this included the target of God’s Protection.
Sister Windcloud Nine overtook everyone in an instant, flying to the front of the party.
Jiaojiao retreated, just as a hoard of wraiths surged forth and surrounded Sister Windcloud Nine, scratching her relentlessly.
"Hurry, push forward!"
Once the wraiths started attacking a target, they would keep attacking for a long ti as long as the target did not die.
Sister Windcloud Nine was completely unhard, and the others made use of this opportunity to surpass her and continue running forth.
After they put about 30 ters between them, the wraiths realized what was happening and gave up on Sister Windcloud Nine, chasing the rest of the party instead.
By then, Jiaojiao 30-second cooldown for Death’s Grasp was over, so she stretched out her hand again and pulled Sister Windcloud Nine over once more.
The wraiths surrounded Sister Windcloud Nine again and attacked her.
"Advance!"
"Stop!"
"Continue advancing!"
"Stop, retreat! Let Sister Nine stand at the front!"
Under Li Yi’s command, the party soon advanced by more than two hundred ters. The exit was within sight.
"Full speed ahead!"
They were less than a hundred ters away now. Even without Sister Windcloud Nine, they would be able to make it.
Jiaojiao continued to pull Sister Windcloud Nine. God’s Protection was not over yet, and she did not want Sister Windcloud Nine to die.
They were almost at the end, and the wraiths attacked even more desperately. Their SPD had doubled, as did their ARK. Their aggro was everywhere, and they attacked anyone they saw.
Having activated God’s Blessing, Brother Windcloud Nine beca the first to go through the entrance to the next floor. He burst out laughing and then bribed the warden, using Companion Summons to pull everyone from the 39th floor to him.
Brother Nine had no shortage of funds. He just wanted to clear the stage.
At the center of the tower, there was a golden statue that looked very similar to Golden Hand and Golden Leg. This one was Golden Eye, the Tower of Remorse’s Level 40 gatekeeper boss.
"We’re finally at Level 40! That was not f*cking easy."
"Sister Nine should take most of the credit. She did the most."
"You’re amazing, Sister Nine! Truly bad*ss."
"Sister Nine, did you work so hard because Brother Nine gave you the motivation?"
"Motivation? Yeah, my husband’s always giving
plenty of that."
"Oh, so does your husband have a lot to go around?"
"Sure, he has tons."
The players from the Windcloud Clan were quite the dastardly lot. They never passed on an opportunity to tease Sister Nine, and the one who did it the most was the one they called the most shaless Thief, Windcloud Killer.
"Sister Nine, have you ever eaten your husband’s motivation?"
"Eaten?"
"Scram!"
Brother Windcloud Nine kicked Windcloud Killer right in the behind and put an end to his teasing.
Now that they had cleared the 39th floor, Li Yi’s team was now tied with Infinite Insanity and Confused Fox’s.
Since Li Yi had co later, they were now second in the World Rankings.
Empyrean South sighed. "To think we actually made it through. I thought we were all goners."
Jiggly was perfectly quiet, remaining wordless the whole ti. He just looked up, his head at a 90 degree angle, apparently thinking about sothing.
Brother Windcloud Nine asked Li Yi, "Bro, do you know how to beat this boss?"
"Golden Eye is one of the Tower of Remorse’s hardest bosses to beat."
Li Yi had completed the Tower of Remorse countless tis in the past life, but the one boss he did not want to et the most was none other than Golden Eye.
Just as its na suggested, Golden Eye’s strongest attack was its eyes.
There was a popular saying back then.
If looks could kill, you would have died a thousand tis over by now.
These were the perfect words to describe Golden Eye, because it was a super ridiculous boss who could kill with its eyes alone.
"Golden Eye’s speciality is killing with its gaze. When it opens its eyes, all its enemies shall turn to stone..."
Brother Windcloud Nine pulled up the introduction of Golden Eye on the official site and read it out loud.
Not long later, Confused Fox sent them the video of their battle with Golden Eye.
Although they had yet to fight it, they could still watch the battle process in advance. It would be a great help for their attempt later.
Everyone watched it, including Li Yi.
In the past life, Li Yi could never beat Golden Eye, not even with his Emperor Equipnt Set
10. Every ti he reached Level 40, he would continue only if he did not et Golden Eye. If he did, he would imdiately give up.
Li Yi had never once killed this boss in the past life.
"When the battle begins, Golden Eye will have a debuff called Golden Power. This debuff is unique in that its levels will increase according to the number of people in the battle. If you’re alone, the Golden Power debuff will only have one layer. If there are twenty-five people in a party, there will also be twenty-five layers to the Golden Power debuff.
"Golden Power is a debuff that limits Golden Eye’s power and benefits the players. The lower its intensity, the more Golden Eye can use its true strength. In other words, the lower the Golden Power falls, the stronger Golden Eye gets. That’s why the best way to clear the stage would be to keep every one of the twenty-five mbers alive.
"When Golden Eye opens it eyes, all mbers must turn their backs to it and stay completely still. When Golden Eye closes its eyes, all mbers must move quickly, and you must never touch each other.
"Golden Eye has three segngts. The first is very simple, the second gets harder, and we never reached the third level, so we don’t know."
Brother Windcloud Nine read out the entire walkthrough that Confused Fox had sent over, but because Confused Fox and the others had never cleared it either, the walkthrough was not complete.
Many people were perplexed, but they began to understand a bit better once they watched the video.
Brother Windcloud Nine said, "I’m guessing we won’t be able to pass in the first attempt, but we should just go ahead and try it. Let’s try to do as well as we can and see how far we can go."
Li Yi nodded.
Golden Eye was OP. Although Li Yi knew how to beat it, defeating this boss required coordination first and foremost. He was fine, but what about his party mbers?
How could they coordinate without so practice?
"When the battle starts later, you stand on the left, Brother Windcloud Nine. Jiaojiao, you take the right. DPS, don’t clump up, scatter yourselves around. Healers, pay attention. You guys can just turn around and heal with your backs turned to the boss.
"Alright, let’s give it a try."
Li Yi waved his hand and signaled for Brother Windcloud Nine to proceed with activating the boss.
Golden Eye was too complicated to fight. It did not matter how they explained it to players who had never fought it before. The only way to understand the process was to personally try it out.
Brother Windcloud Nine went forth and swung his Blazing Judgnt, reinforced to
16. He shot out a ball of light that crashed into Golden Eye.
"Everyone, turn around!"
"Ahhh lalalala..."
Golden Eye opened its eyes and the dazzling golden light instantly filled up all the space in the tower.
When its eyes were open, all mbers had to turn around and freeze!
A figure slipped out from Golden Eye’s body and approached Brother Windcloud Nine. It stabbed with both hands, attacking him.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
[??456778]
[??566778]
[??466544]
Although Golden Hand did not have any weapons, its hands could deal a lot of damage on their own. Three thrusts took almost 1,500,000 HP from Brother Nine.
Brother Windcloud Nine activated God’s Blessing.
Li Yi raged. "What are you doing, healers? F*cking heal him already!"
Several rays of white light glowed on the surface of Brother Nine’s body, rapidly restoring his health...
