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

Chapter 599 - An Eye for an Eye, A Tooth for a Tooth

Phantom Princess Ina waved her staff and called down a blazing meteor. BOOM! A fiery explosion swept out and instantly engulfed everybody in the vicinity.

A thousand players were instantly killed. However, even more surged forward to fill their spots.

They planned to slowly whittle away at Phantom Princess Ina's health. Even a more powerful boss would eventually fall to this many people. Time ticked away.

No one could have ever imagined Phantom Princess Ina would be this powerful. The casualties quickly accumulated.

Half an hour later, Phantom Princess Ina still had a third of her health remaining. It was falling slowly. Only then did players understand the might of a Level 100 Variant Lord. She was completely different from other bosses, who would die within five or six minutes after being swarmed by several thousand players.

Splendid Temple suffered heavy losses. Their casualties already exceeded 200.

"Tanks, interrupt her casts! Mages, lower your damage output! You're building up too much aggro!" Splendid Star ordered. At this rate, even if they snagged a good piece of equipment, it wouldn't be worth it.

Apart from those of Splendid Temple, Phantom Princess Ina had killed roughly 10,000 players so far. At this time, three more guilds arrived with 1,000-man teams.

Lured into the town, 7,000 players surrounded the Giant Steel Golem. It rained down fist after fist, killing several dozen players with each attack. Regardless of how many fell, more players kept charging forward, seemingly unafraid of death.

These players were all dreaming of hitting it big. The cost of most of the equipment on their bodies ranged from several dozen to several hundred gold, maybe up to a thousand for the richest ones among them. Meanwhile, bosses like the Giant Steel Golem and Phantom Princess Ina dropped equipment worth tens of thousands of gold at the very least! As long as they were lucky enough to win the loot scramble, the amount of gold they'd earn by selling one or two drops to the leader of a large guild or gaming organization was enough to replace their current set of gear with something five or six tiers higher!

Similar instances had happened before, with countless examples of players getting rich overnight. It was to the extent some people became professional loot scramblers. Whenever a boss was sighted, they would start stirring.

So, when news about Phantom Princess Ina attacking Crassus spread, all these loot scramblers came rushing over.

Even an elephant could be bitten to death by enough ants. No matter how powerful Phantom Princess Ina and her summons were, she had no way of blocking this unending tide of players! Every little bit of damage stacked up, whittling her health away.

Howl of Terror!

Phantom Princess Ina let out an ear-piercing wail, causing all players in a 50-meter radius to freeze in place before fleeing around like headless chickens.

Chaos and confusion fell over the battlefield. The Mages far in the rear stepped forward and unleashed their magic.

Nie Yan didn't dare to tangle with Phantom Princess Ina. He stealthily approached within 20 meters of the Giant Steel Golem. Inspecting it with Transcendent Insight, he discovered it only had 9% health left. It would soon fall.

The Giant Steel Golem went berserk and extracted a greataxe from its back. It swung the axe in a horizontal strike, unleashing a 10-meter wide crescent beam towards the crowd. BOOM! A hundred players were obliterated in an instant, transforming into rays of light.
