Guild Boss's Ambition

Gradually, the life bar that I had actively ignored came back into my sight.

－1882

+ 772

-992 (poisoning)

+777 (Purification)

In the melee, hundreds of numbers kept jumping on the screen. On my own team list, I could immediately confirm the health of teammates in different positions. Among them, any target targeted by Virginia would suddenly have at least half of his health deducted by her, and even our most powerful Master Jacob could not avoid continued accumulation of damage.

However, the convenience the system provides me is not omnipotent. For example, Virginia, whose movement speed is beyond common sense, cannot display her health value in my field of vision. According to my long-term observation, in order to display the target's health value, two conditions must be met first. The first is that the target must be visible, and the second is that the target must be considered to be alive by me.

Like a stone, there will be no health value displayed.

As for monsters such as undead skeletons, their health values ​​in the game will be displayed as usual.

The battle has now lasted for five minutes. If I am not dazzled, Bai Ye should have used a total of five bottles of novice potions. One was used to save Meng'er, another was used to save Master Jacob, and Xuan Xun and Xiao Xixi each used one bottle. The last fifth bottle was consumed by Xiao Ban.

Up to this moment, only Heloise, Raftan, and Bai Ye still maintain their immortality.

The reason why the battle situation was in such a disadvantage was because there was an optimal fit between the two enemies.

Their nature magician used the field magic of Crazy Plants to perfectly divide our formation, and the constantly dying and regenerating Piranhas provided good cover for another wind magic sword, forcing us to fight on our own while also being on guard against her sneak attacks at all times, thus completely putting us in a passive position.

In the chaos, I glanced at the Piranha Plant growing in front of me and tried to use identification skills.

[Crazy Plant: Red Piranha (Gold Level): A carnivorous Piranha summoned by natural magic, it is extremely aggressive and uses digestive acid as a weapon. The acid can dissolve most steel. Unless the caster is knocked down, they will continue to regenerate. Their weakness is fire, and using ice and snow skills to freeze them is also an option.]

Ice and snow skills?

I looked at Xuan Xun──

He was seen standing beside Master Jacob with a vigilant look on his face, and in just a few tens of seconds, he had been attacked five times in a row by the enemy's swordsman. If Master Jacob had not been there to assist him, he would have probably died long ago. According to the results of the appraisal technique, this idiot Xuan Xun probably attracted the enemy's special attention because he was proficient in ice magic.

"Everyone—"

I was just about to tell everyone to protect Xuanxun when the scene took a dramatic turn.

All the carnivorous plants at the scene stopped attacking us.

They all pointed their fanged stamens at their former summoner.

"Pele Faalenatura, sauā faalenatura ma ou tau faatasi ai!"

"Ou te fiafia e gaoi le tomai o le isi! E faapefea? Utia a'u Kipea, valea!"

At this time, the enemy's natural magician no longer chanted spells, and instead Bai Ye's voice permeated the battlefield with a clear and malicious tone. As the former predecessor of this game, she would naturally not sit and wait for death in a disadvantage. On the contrary, when she suddenly fell silent and did nothing, that was the moment that needed to be mentioned most!

"Damn thief! She stole my spell!"

"I warned you, stupid Tieru."

As victims whose magic was stolen by Bai Ye one after another, Tielu and Virginia, who reaped the consequences, could only flee around as the Piranha Plants turned against them. On the other hand, without the Piranha Plants to restrain them, the people were relatively relieved of a lot of pressure. They finally gained the upper hand for the first time and launched an effective counterattack against the two enemies, forcing the opposing magician to mobilize his magic power to cast a shield.

"We can do it! If we keep fighting like this, we will win!"

With everyone's joint efforts, Virginia, who was so fast that she was difficult for the naked eye to see, finally slowed down. Even with just a quick glance, I was able to successfully identify her health value. In stark contrast to her calm and elegant movements, she was besieged by seven people and a dog and had actually lost half of her health value. She also had negative states such as blood loss, poisoning, freezing, and slowing down.

It’s a pity that what is meant to come will always come.

Just when we were about to win, a pale figure slowly emerged from the door of the stone house.

That was the White Night of the past, or rather Lila.

Lila had changed out of her black clothes and put on a white robe, holding a red sickle. Behind her were two strange-looking creatures. The one on the left was a monster with the lower body of a spider and the upper body of a human, while the one on the right was a ball of flesh with a diameter of one meter, floating in the air, with the faces of many different creatures on it.

Compared with Lila, the two legendary high elves are actually inferior in presence. At least the latter are powerful enemies in the open, while the former are a sharp blade hidden in the darkness, waiting for the right time to reap. Anyone would pay more attention to outliers like Bai Ye and Lila.

Even the high elves who are fighting against us are no exception.

Without further ado, as soon as Virginia saw Lila appear, she immediately drew her two swords and attacked!

As soon as Feng Kuai's two swords moved, the spider monster immediately stepped forward to block.

With two clangs, the high elves' double swords carved two deep marks on the giant spider's two exoskeleton forearms. At this moment, Bai Ye, not Lila, sent out a cunning voice from Miss Maria: "Bai Ye! Be careful of the high elves' rune swords. They know the purifying flame. If you are injured by them, no magic can heal you!"

After hearing Bai Ye's words, Virginia's two swords immediately ignited with white sacred flames.

Seeing this, Lila shouted coldly: "Foolish high elf, I am here to help you execute humans."

Virginia said disdainfully: "We don't need the help of the undead."

Because of Lila's arrogant attitude and identity of the undead, Virginia played right into Bai Ye's hands. She did not believe in Lila, a human of unknown origin, and after a disagreement, she focused on attacking the strange-looking Lila again. Her attacks were swift and ruthless, like the ruthless autumn wind and the cunning snake. A graceful figure in green clothes was seen running like a flying leaf, and the giant spider's blood volume was deducted wildly with the sound of ding ding ding ding. In only ten seconds, the spider monster's blood volume was only half left.

Virginia played at her legendary level with ease, but her magician companion was badly beaten up on the other side. While Lila and Virginia were fighting, Master Jacob and the others naturally did not stand by and watch the show. They immediately decided to beat up Tieru first, trying to get the magician, a highly unpredictable profession, out of the battlefield as soon as possible.

Like the poor spider monster, Tielu's health was quickly reduced to half by our great Master Jacob in his magic bear form. Unlike Virginia, Tielu's brain seemed to be more useful. Feeling that something was wrong, he temporarily put aside his racial prejudice and shouted to his companions, "Virginia! Virginia!"

"Hold on a little longer, stupid Tielu."

"I can't hold on any longer! I can't hold on any longer! Let her come and help us!"

"Let an undead help us?"

"Let an undead help us!"

The effect of simple verbal communication was unexpectedly good. Virginia immediately gave up attacking Lila, who she thought was very abnormal, and turned the sharpness of her two swords to Bai Ye, who was also abnormal. Bai Ye's blood was immediately cut off, and he was forced to drink a bottle of potion and hide in Master Jacob in embarrassment.

Originally, Virginia wanted to continue the pursuit, but the terrain created by the Piranha Plants themselves hindered her.

After a lot of fighting, not only did our enemies not decrease, we even got a wild Lila.

Just like that night, Lila never took her eyes off me. Without Virginia's entanglement, she slowly walked towards me and said with hatred: "How dare you threaten me with the thing I cherish most? Do you think ignorance is a reason that can be forgiven?"

The corners of her mouth slowly drew up into a cruel arc──

"Today, I will bring you a bloody death."

Ah, what a very childish line.

It can definitely be included in the dark history of White Nights.

……

……

74. Duel (Raftan)

(Raftan-Fritts)

The situation will take a turn for the worse after Lila joins forces with the high elves.

Even though our side successfully gained the geographical advantage of the crazy plants, as time went on, the man-eating plants that originally had a restraining effect were also damaged and destroyed in the battle. And because Bai Ye did not possess any natural magic at this time, she could not summon those man-eating plants again like the enemy magician.

At this moment, our strongest Master Jacob has been completely entangled by the elf swordsman named Virginia. The strength of the two of them is comparable, and Master Jacob, who is not good at single combat, is at a slight disadvantage. However, considering that we have already caused a lot of damage to Virginia earlier, and with the assistance of the little Xixi Kappa, I think we can rest assured on this side for the time being.

As for the second legendary high elf Tieru, he was confronting Xuanxun and Xiaoban. Even though they, a dragon and a dog, only had platinum-level strength, they happened to have racial advantages. Their natural resistance to magic gave them a lot of advantages. In addition, Tieru's magic power had been almost used up, so this front would not collapse all of a sudden even if left alone.

The real trouble is Lila, who has just joined the battlefield.

In addition to herself, she also brought two strange subordinates, and we only had 4 combat forces left.

In the current melee, Heloise has already faced the floating mass of flesh.

The remaining half-human spider monster took the initiative to find me who was alone.

It was a spider monster with the upper body of a human man. I had never heard of any race in this world that looked like this. Whether it was his distorted expression or his angry beast-like roar, I couldn't feel any trace of intelligent life from him. Judging from his frantic behavior, he was probably a chimera who only retained the fighting instinct.

He is not just a Chimera, he is also an insanely strong Chimera.

In addition to the spider claws that are as sharp as blades, he also has a long and wide giant sword in his hand. The long and wide giant sword is very powerful when he swings it. Even though he seems to have lost his mind, his sword moves are still organized and orderly. It is a set of sword techniques that combines offense with defense.

Maybe before he became a Chimera, he was also a knight like me who valued honor as his life.

In the melee, his greatsword fell on my tower shield again and again, like a groan of pain.

"Want to die?"

Zheng.

"Want to be freed?"

Climb.

The monster was speechless. His frantic yet orderly giant sword should have been used in a more spiritual way. Pure chaos could not bring real power to people. It was just an intention to destroy. It could neither protect nor create.

A beast with tools remains just a beast.

Those who can truly use tools properly are wise people.

As a knight, I have the obligation to free this sword that has unfortunately become a beast.

At the same time, I can't waste too much time on this monster because my comrades need my support.

During a series of shield blocks, I seized an opportunity when the spider monster was vulnerable. I turned from the front of the spider to its back, then dropped my defense and slashed at its exposed back with a heavy sword.

“Damn it! I missed it!”

"Chimera..."

I should have succeeded in chopping it in two with one strike of the sword, but I accidentally overlooked one point, the biological nature of the lower half of this chimera. Just when I was about to succeed, the giant spider fired a ball of gray and sour mucus at me. After the mucus came into contact with the air, it quickly hardened into the spider silk we are familiar with, completely blocking my movements -

After the fatal blow missed, I was immediately met with an equally fierce counterattack from the heavy sword.

"This action...is not good!"

Just as I raised my shield to block, the spider silk stubbornly entangled my hands and feet!

This spider silk is no ordinary spider silk!

I had no choice but to use up all my Holy Shields and cast them continuously above my head.

Zheng--zheng--deng!

The monster's full-strength attack was incredibly heavy, and the violent giant sword broke through two layers of holy shields in one breath, and only stopped at the third layer. But even if I successfully blocked this fatal attack, my danger was not completely over. The spider silk that blocked my movement was still entangled in my hands and feet, and I didn't have any effective magic to eliminate this negative state.

Physical limitations can often only be dealt with by physical means...

To deal with power, you must use greater power...

"Greater power..."

As soon as I made up my mind, my entire train of thought seemed to explode.

From the depths of my mind, an ancient voice is roaring at me violently...

It wants me to turn from a human back into a beast. It wants me to believe in myself, not those tedious matters. It is used to simplifying the most complicated things with pure violence. It is a symbol of barbarism and an insult and irony to wisdom. When I have no choice but to use its power, it seems to prove its own correctness and prove that the law of the jungle is the truth of this world.

"mercy?"

"Why should I forgive my enemies?"

"It's an eyesore, why not just kill him?"

"No, you need to stay awake, knight."

The moment the primitive power took effect, my body suddenly surged with unprecedented strength. After not having touched it for five years, it seemed to have become even stronger and more bewitching. Driven by the primitive blood, those gray spider silks were torn apart by me as if they were nothing, and my cross sword also faced the opponent's broad-bladed giant sword without hesitation!

Boom! Dangdangdang!

Boom, bang, bang! Bang!

Dangdang! Boom!

I was getting more and more excited as I was both being attacked and attacking the enemy. My hands were swinging like sticks, fighting with the opponent's giant sword. My goal was not to defeat the opponent, but to show my own strength.

That's right.

I am very strong.

So powerful that there is no need to use any additional skills.

Then the tool broke, and the blades of both parties were split in two.

On the one hand, I am sad about my wrong use of it, but on the other hand, I am also happy about it.

Tools and the like are not necessary at all.

"Isn't there still a lot of power that can be used?"

The spider monster was stunned for a moment after losing its sword, and then its eight long legs suddenly flexed and stretched, and its entire hairy body flew towards me. It was probably trying to use the advantage of its body weight, the hardness of its exoskeleton, and its sharp limbs to overwhelm me? Unfortunately, I was no longer a simple human being at this time.

[Holy Shield (Revised)]

In front of that vicious insect mouthpart, I used the Holy Shield in a more primitive and free way on my hands.
