Chapter 386: The Final Moment

Su Sheng watched the Imperial Dynasty's performance in front of him, and recalled how Qiancheng Muxue had tackled that 40‑level Commander-level Boss before.

Tsk tsk…

It was far off.

No wonder—seven years ago I pushed it from fourth to eighth among the top ten guilds, and it's still eighth after seven years.

Besides the fact that other major guilds aren't weak, the main reason is…

Qiancheng Muxue… is too overpowered.

I won't dig into side topics…

Su Sheng watched the huge crab in front of him; under the Imperial Dynasty's heavy damage, its health was rapidly dropping, inch by inch, approaching.

Health: seven percent…

Su Sheng had already closed in on the Imperial Dynasty's battle circle.

Seeing the Imperial Dynasty players clustered together, Su Sheng frowned.

Although Ye Tianzi currently has no particular defenses.

But the battle circle's layout leaves no gaps.

Su Sheng's Stealth Technique is superb, yet he can't ignore collision volume.

He couldn't help but again envy Shen Yang's abilities.

Hold on…

At seven percent health, it'll still take a while.

If it really can't be done, when the Boss is about to die, should I force a breakthrough myself?

Su Sheng calculated his remaining Bottom Card and then checked the Imperial Dynasty's ranged firepower.

It's a bit… risky.

But facing this 60‑level Commander-level Boss, Su Sheng feels uneasy if he doesn't take a bite.

After all, Yanhuang and the Imperial Dynasty are rivals.

However, False Nirvana and Lion's Fury were on cooldown from helping dad defeat the Yin Yang Earth-walking Dragon earlier.

Both major Bottom Cards haven't recovered yet; the only one ready is Lion Hunt, whose cooldown is relatively short.

With Lion Hunt recovered, there's a chance.

First, wait…

See if there'll be a chance to sneak in later; if none, I'll have to force a breakthrough at the critical moment.

…

As time passes, the crab's health slowly declines.

After turning black into a Commander-level Boss, the crab's health regeneration also synced to Commander level.

Commander-level Boss regains 1.5% health per second.

Coupled with the terrifying defense of the 60‑level Commander-level Boss, the Imperial Dynasty's manpower can only barely suppress its health, making the fight a real grind.

Even with the grind, the crab's health after blackening to Commander level is only ten percent.

Being taken down by the Imperial Dynasty is just a matter of time.

Of course, the Imperial Dynasty isn't without losses.

Even just its base stats are already exaggerated.

After all, the crab's health is now at four percent, the Imperial Dynasty has already dispatched two or three hundred players, leaving about 2,600 of the 3,000 in the arena.

The main issue is…

The guard knights are nearly all dead.

Ye Tianzi had accounted for firepower output, but underestimated the crab's terrifying attack power after evolution.

Originally, they prepared guard knights totaling just over three hundred, plus some elite melee classes.

Unexpectedly, aside from the guard knights, no other melee class could hold up.

Even a War Knight's health on horseback needs to pair with Defensive Stance to endure, and not all can even manage that.

Some with slightly poorer gear,

But War Knights are a strength build; once mounted they don't necessarily have much more health than guard knights, and their defense is inferior.

However…

Only four guard knights remain in the arena; if they fall, melee players will have to 'swap lives'.

Anyway, this crab currently has no strong tactics.

Killing them one by one will take the crab a long time.

As the Imperial Dynasty's numbers dwindle, Su Sheng, hidden aside, smiles.

The airtight battle circle finally shows a gap.

One step closer to success.

Su Sheng, unseen, slipped in through the gap in the battle circle.

At this moment…

When the last guard knight fell, the crab's health dropped to three percent.

Almost there…

Both Ye Tianzi and Su Sheng thought the same thing.

"All armored melee, advance first! No matter the cost! We must take down this crab."

At this point, the major guild's compliance becomes evident.

Although it's clear that the outcome is certain death, all melee players are taking turns to hold the front.

Crack~

Crack~

The big crab's pincers are simply chopping vegetables; trap formation warriors, war knights, furious warriors…

None can withstand a single hit; one clamp down and white light flashes.

That's incredibly satisfying.

But Su Sheng's expression wasn't very pleasant…

Once all melee players are dead, won't I be left without cover at the final moment?

But for now…

Su Sheng shouldn't reveal himself yet; let's wait.

Now Su Sheng also lacks confidence to instantly deplete the boss's remaining HP, unless he uses Demon God Lightning.

But now he has few trump cards left; even if he snags the boss, he'll still have to flee from the Imperial Dynasty's forces…

Keeping one more trump card gives him a bit more confidence.

Wait; he needs to have enough patience…

The boss is at two percent!

But on the Imperial Dynasty's side, several hundred armored melee professions, except for the furious warrior Zhaozilong, have basically all been revived for free.

Given Zhaozilong's skill and status, it wouldn't do to have him act as cannon fodder.

However…

Almost there!

Ye Tianzi's eyes showed an expectant look.

Alliance Edict, hoping it will drop.

Although this commander-ranked big crab has a bit of water content.

But it's actually a genuine level-60 commander-ranked boss; the chance of dropping an Alliance Edict is still not low.

But there are no more armored melee professions left.

Zhaozilong gritted his teeth, preparing to charge forward.

But he was blocked by Jiang Xiang Wang Hou.

"Assassin Guild, Fangshi… hold the line!" Ye Tianzi, knowing the time, also issued the corresponding command.

Almost… the last two percent.

Melee professions… are throwing away their lives.

At least it temporarily restrained the boss's speed, preventing it from charging straight into the rear damage dealers.

As long as the damage dealers hold steady, it doesn't matter if all melee professions die.

Zhaozilong stayed alert; if these melee players all die, he'll have to step up as well.

Boom boom boom!

Another round of Faye's skill bombardment rained down.

The boss's HP dropped to one percent!

The restless Su Sheng gritted his teeth, suppressing the urge to act.

Unless it crits; if not, this one percent HP, without Demon God Lightning, Su Sheng really can't take it down.

So…

Wait a bit more…

At this moment, Su Sheng silently approached.

Zero point seven percent HP…

This is the moment…

Su Sheng's eyes snapped open.

Change cloak!

The red cloak is eye-catching, but turns black in a second…

At the same time, Cold Ray lit up.
