Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 3)

Chapter 420 - Frightening Might of a Golden Dragon

Of the 500 Priests, more than 300 were killed. The survivors fled to the safety of the surrounding forces of Bloodlust Blades. The players from other classes came rushing towards Nie Yan's group.

Three Warriors from Bloodlust Blades came charging at Young Seven from the side with their swords raised high, only for Monochrome to catch up to one of them with Intercept. He followed up with a Seismic Slam, stopping all of them dead in their tracks.

Great Cleave!

Monochrome slashed down on a Level 47 Warrior and sent him flying away.

At this moment, a group of Mages at the back finished chanting and sent a shower of spells flying towards Monochrome.

Glorious Barrier!

A golden membrane of light surrounded Monochrome, absorbing a large portion of the damage from the spells with a pitter-pattering sound and sending motes of light flying everywhere like fireworks. Monochrome rushed forward and felled the other two Warriors in quick succession. His attacks were ruthless and resolute.

At the same time, Young Seven raised his staff and cast Heal on Monochrome, restoring his health back to full.

Charge!

Monochrome advanced toward the Mages like a raging bull. With a Whirlwind Slash, five dropped dead to the ground.

The situation on the other sides of the battlefield were just as lopsided. The teamwork and synergy of Nie Yan's group was seamless.

However, with more and more melee-class players joining the fray, the pressure on Nie Yan's side increased exponentially. The lack of area-of-effect magic was really hurting their ability to clear the enemy away at a fast enough pace.

Nevertheless, as class advanced players, all of them had powerful close-range skills at their disposal. So, when they faced ordinary players, it was still a bloodbath. Especially Bladelight, Lofty Shadow, and Yi Yan, they were Great Fighters geared with some of the best defensive equipment in Asskickers United, which gave them a minimum of 95% damage reduction against ordinary players. Add this to the high block rate of their shields, and even if they were bombarded by a group of 50 Mages, they would come out relatively unscathed.

Despite attracting 80% of the attacks as they pressed forward, Bladelight, Lofty Shadow, and Yi Yan still stood firm and resolute.

The damage of the Fighter trio might not be anything special. But their impregnable defenses left the players of Bloodlust Blades feeling helpless. On top of that, their attacks were still deadly to any squishy caster that allowed them to approach too close.

Simply comparing levels, Bladelight, Smoke Stub, and the others were all at least Level 54, with some even reaching Level 60, and Nie Yan who was the highest at Level 66. Meanwhile, the players from Bloodlust Blades were all around Level 45, with none of them reaching Level 50. All their high level players were at the front!

The Paladins from Asskickers United followed closely behind Bladelight, Smoke Stub, and the other Warriors, buffing them with a myriad of blessings that raised their combat power by at least 30%. At the same time, the Paladins also provided supplementary healing, which was still quite impactful despite not being as powerful as a Priest's.

Paladin of the Elegy raised his sword into the air as several rays of light fell over Edgeless.

Indomitable Will!

Holy Blessing!

Divine Conferment!

Edgeless suddenly felt himself overflowing with power. He glanced at his status bar and noticed numerous buffs, including Magic Immunity!
