It is often said that when soone was in the deepest of shit holes, they wouldn't be able to differentiate if it was day or night. The current situation of Crimson Abyss was no different than this.
The swarm might look small and manageable for Liam, who was calmly spectating everything from the outside, but for those standing inside and fighting against the nightmare, it was as deadly as ever, just like the first ti they encountered these vicious insects.
The mont the group entered the vicinity of the golden pyramid, they were imdiately engulfed by a tide of these bizarre creatures.
And once they were in, they were completely overwheld in an instant.
The number of isons swirling around them seed infinite. No one could see anything past these monstrous insects.
It was similar to entering the aggro range on a monster back in the ga.
The swarm, which paid no attention to Liam or any of the guild mbers while they were standing outside, was now fully engaged in eliminating this group of people.
It was almost as if these insects were tasked to guard the hive hill. Dozens and dozens buzzed down to attack the group, completely surrounding them from all directions in no ti.
"Don't slow down! Keep charging forward! We can do it this ti!" Alex shouted loudly.
Unlike the last ti, the situation right now was completely different. For one, they weren't exactly caught with their pants down.
They had co here fully knowing and fully expecting whatever was going down at the mont, and they had a solid plan of action.
There were about 50 Crimson Abyss guild mbers in total standing in concentric circles formation with the long-range fighters at the center and the lee fighters and the tanks at the edges.
Their coordination within the group was top-notch.
While the lee fighters and the tanks kept the isons at bay, preventing them from suffocating the group and completely drowning them, the long-range fighters concentrated on damage dealing and kept pulling the triggers without any other concern.
Attack after attack commanded the mana in the air to cut down the never-ending tide of isons left and right.
Especially with the constant buffs i i was repeatedly chanting, each magic attack was like a bomb that took down a cluster of these deviant creatures.
While the center acted as the power hub, the sides were equally efficient in clearing the insects that ca close to physically harming them.
Alex was far more efficient this ti as she only took on the role of the tank and erected divine shields at every possible interval, conserving her energy and mana otherwise.
She demonstrated the full potential of her divine affinity and her comprehension skills as a thin layer of golden do appeared every now and then above the group.
This golden do was only like a wisp that appeared and disappeared in an instant, but it was lethal to the isons, cutting them down into halves and even burning so to a crisp.
And while she recovered the mana from casting this attack, she used her pure physical strength and agility to butt heads against the insects and take down more of the isons.
Standing next to her, Shin Soo wasn't fairing too bad as well.
With just one hand to support him, his face was full of determination as he blocked and parried with the isons, taking down almost as many insects as the other lee players.
The very sight of the muscular Korean fighter was an inspiration to everyone in the guild. It was almost as if this disability did not bother him even one bit.
Even Alex, who was observing him from ti to ti to make sure that he did not fall or get injured severely, gave him a fully acknowledging nod.
He might not be able to perform his role as a tank as well as before, but he was still standing on his own and pulling his weight.
The only lee players who clearly outshone him by several levels were Shen Yue and Lan Deming. Currently, the stats of these two players were the highest among the group, sa as i i and Lan Fen.
And the impact of this evidently showed in the fight.
Shen Yue alone unleashed utter devastation on the part of the swarm that was vainly trying to subdue her.
Her eyes sparkled with anger as the mory of failing even with a legendary weapon in her hand haunted her badly.
Her movents beca much smoother and free as she danced without any restraint, each and every single swing of her dagger tearing apart the isons around her.
Lan Deming also displayed an impressive killing spree, as he was only lagging behind Shen Yue at this point.
His military training and his naturally skilled disposition put him head and shoulders above others, and slowly by slowly, he was beginning to stand out.
These two single-handedly hogged most of the kills and, thereby, most of the experience points and were leveling up at lightning speed.
The more they increased their levels and gained stats, the scarier their movents beca, and they laid waste to the isons surrounding them.
The sa went for Lan Fen, Judah, i i, Rey, and the group of long-range fighters standing firmly and holding their ground.
Lan Fen particularly boasted a higher casting speed, higher even than i i and Judah. It was as if the mana in the air was bending over backward to listen to her commands.
Her growth was far more pronounced than Lan Deming's as she repeatedly sent out several ice spears aiming for the weak points of the isons.
Even if she missed her target, her attack still got the damned insect, thanks to the freezing effect of the ice spear that created a layer of frost on their hard exoskeleton, spreading slowly to the rest of the body as well, especially the wings.
To make them suffer more, every single ti, she aid for this weak point near their wings, so most of the isons that took her blow ended up falling to the ground losing the use of their wings.
This greatly affected their agility, ability to deal damage and made them vulnerable. Not to ntion already claiming a huge chunk of their health with the fall from the height.
And after they fell, the lee players imdiately took care of these frozen isons and cut them down for easy experience points. This chain of events brought down dozens of isons every few seconds.
The only limiting factor was the mana usage. If she had unlimited mana, then Lan Fen could repeatedly massacre these unsightly beings. Unfortunately, she was rationing her supply, so it reduced her overall speed a lot.
From this fight, Lan Fen could clearly see the importance of items. If not for the epic-grade staff Liam had gifted her, she wouldn't be able to perform this well at the mont.
The staff increased her overall mana pool and also mana regeneration, because of which she was able to keep up with the demands of a battle like this.
