Chapter 58: Guild Base Boss!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Gluttonous Piranha: Level 15 Enhanced Boss, Health Points: 170,000

This Gluttonous Piranha’s stem suddenly elevated in height, bursting forth a golden light. It then swelled fiercely, becoming a huge monster in a moment.

“Corporate?” asked Dumb Fox.

“Corporate!”

“Ah— Ah—” The body of the Piranha was light red. Its huge mouth that was as big as a small hilltop was hidden within its sunflower-like head. As it shook its body, scales fell and turned into boomerangs, flying all over the place.

-124!

-109!

…

Damage points masked the sky, and the Mages with fragile Health Points all fell as though harvesting wheat.

“Attack vigorously! Ranged jobs aim at its mouth!” Ghost Eyes lifted the Golden Bone Bow and aimed at the Piranha’s big mouth. A layer of whirling wind gathered at the tip of the arrow, piercing through the air as it was released!

-100!

“Ah—” As the Piranha felt pain, it stuck out its tongue and rolled it towards Ghost Eyes. Ghost Eye was surprised at the scene and hurriedly jumped back, avoiding the Piranha’s tongue.

The Piranha saw this, and under its wrath, its tongue that was like a whip brutally whipped a few warriors to death. As its tongue rolled and shrunk, it swallowed several bodies in the blink of an eye. Instantly, a bunch of green healing numbers popped out from the top of its head.

+20,000!

+20,000!

Everyone was shocked, how was it possible to defeat it? It could restore 20,000 Health Points at a time, but even if everyone concentrated their attacks, their damage per second was only around 3,000 points. The difference in strength was too great!

“Continue attacking!” The Boss was right in front of them, so everyone who was shocked refused to give up until all hope was gone.

The few guild leaders were in sync and all ordered in their guilds to wait and see.

The battle was still continuing, and Lin Jie was itching to do something as he looked from the corner. Every minute, every second, there were large numbers of players dying, but he could not collect a bit of soul. That was too depressing.

However, seeing how people advanced wave by wave to be stuffed into the Piranha’s stomach, it was still quite the visual effect.

An Enhanced Boss did not count in the true sense as a Boss. When the number of monsters which died was excessive, there was a possibility of randomly increasing the tier of a monster and add prefixes such as “agility,” “strength,” “darkness” to the Boss’ name.

Normally, one could tell apart which ability the Boss was good at and its weakness according to the prefix.

For example, an Agility Enhanced Boss’ evasion rate would have an explosive increase, and in correspondence, its defense would decrease.

This Piranha’s attribute was “Gluttonous” so Lin Jie did not know what attributes it would increase, but there was one thing he could be sure about, that was to kill the Piranha, a special method must be found. If it was like forcefully killing it now, they would probably have unfortunate outcomes with them being miserable.

In Lin Jie’s previous life, piranhas would be respawned on Sky Elf’s territory. The elves there bred a large number of piranhas and within them was a Dark Gold-tier Boss. Once that Boss appeared, different powers from all sides came to fight for it. The battle was extremely tragic, the Piranha kept on devouring thousands of players. In the end, it, unfortunately, entered the weak state during digestion, then was it finally killed.

From then on, the Piranha Boss had a fixed killing method – Feed cannon fodders, then kill it.

It was like this before his eyes now. If the Piranha’s attribute was gluttonous, maybe it would eat even more.

Lin Jie hid in the corner and looked at the Piranha the size of a house. It shed all kinds of scales to slaughter players.

He could not help but secretly question in his heart, ‘Is it possible that this Boss’ IQ was already high to this extent? Only using devouring skill to regen?’

Amidst the flames of the battle, the Piranha’s Health Points finally decreased by half, but the number of deaths was already over a thousand. Corpses that hadn’t had the time to be respawned away were everywhere.

Piranha opened its huge blood-red mouth, and its long tongue stretched and shrunk, swallowing a few corpses in the blink of an eye. Its Health Points was instantly full!

“WTF!”

“Boss, we can’t fight it. Isn’t this just getting ourselves killed?”

Everyone finally felt despair, up to a thousand people had died just to reduce the health bar by half. However,, it regenerated its health in just three or two mouthfuls, what was there to fight?

Dumb Fox secretly gritted his teeth. “Retreat!”

“Fox!” Eighteen Massacres’ face was clouded. “Continue fighting.”

“Retreat!” shouted Dumb Fox.

“Bandit team, kill them!” Eighteen Massacres was furious. If Triumphant Midnight retreated now, the other guilds would definitely follow. It was impossible to kill them all with just the Kingdom of Glory alone!

The Bandit team that was guarding at the gate appeared like ghosts, any Triumphant Midnight player that stepped outside of the gate was stabbed to death.

“F*ck, I’ll get you for that!” shouted Dumb Fox in anger.

“Retreat.” Ghost Eyes that was standing beside Dumb Fox waved his hand, and everyone from Hunter’s Guild turned around one after another, rushing outside the gate with Triumphant Midnight. He also understood that there was no hope of victory in this Boss battle. At least until after completing the job-changing mission would be a possibility of successfully killing it.

“Good brother!” Dumb Fox shouted loudly.

Unexpectedly, cold light strobed from Shadow Devil Workshop’s Dustless who had his dual dagger spinning lightly at his fingertips. “No retreating, continue fighting.”

The fight instantly reached a stalemate!

At the same time, Piranha’s Health Points decreased slowly again under many players’ attacks!

Its body gradually turned red, while saliva dripped down, forming deep holes due to its corrosiveness. If players were touched by it, they would suffer from the effects of armor corrosive and damage over time. Piranha even shook all its scales down crazily, turning them into darts and throwing them.

With that attack, it killed 100 people.

The Boss was in Enrage Mode!

“Retreat!” Demon Robe’s pupils constricted. The Boss’ attributes would all be increased in Enrage Mode, Enhanced Boss’ corresponding attribute would even be largely enhanced. Its evil score was close to 100, it absolutely could not die!

“Retreat!” said Eighteen Massacres hatefully.

Dustless heard it and silently retreated to a side.

Piranha Boss opened its huge blood-red mouth, its tongue like long snakes rampaging around, crazily rolling up players present and even corpses, stuffing them into its mouth! Its Health Bar skyrocketed, going as far as breaking through the upper limits of the Health Bar in a blink of an eye, but still continued to rise madly.

The crowd was like the falling tide, retreating in succession.

Just at that moment, a huge roar could be heard from outside the gate, like a war drum, soul-stirring.

“Charge!”

“Brothers, push all these scums back!”

“Charge! Charge!”

A few hundreds of Shield Specialists could be seen standing in one line, they activated Forward Charge and were rushing towards the gate. Behind the Shield Specialists was still a layer of Protection Paladins. Under the shroud of holy light, Holy Shield was activated, enhancing the defensive abilities of the Shield Specialists.

Hundreds of Shield Specialist charged forward simultaneously! The grand scene made the people who had just escaped from the Boss to be at a loss. Some players who had fast reactions hurriedly channeled arrows to shoot, but in the face of the Shield Specialist’s powerful defense, it was as though just scratching an itch.

“Bang—”

A depressing collision sound could be heard. A Bandit that was closest to the Shield Specialist was sent flying, and so coincidentally, the Bandit landed on top of the Piranha’s head. Its huge overgrown mouth with a circle of teeth opened and swallowed the Bandit down. Its Health Bar upper limit rose explosively again, already breaking through 300,000.

“Bang—”

“Bang—”

Those people were Ironwall Empire’s Shield Specialists!

Almost half of Ironwall Empire’s players had chosen defensive jobs such as Shield Specialist and Protection Paladin. Although their efficiency when leveling was not high, their effectiveness on the battlefield was extraordinarily huge. Each Shield Specialist had a body as strong as steel, like armored cars, arrogantly looking down on others.

The Heavenly Shield’s buff body stood at the front of the Shield Specialists, his heavy two-handed shield placed in front of him. The half of his face that was exposed at the edge of the shield was full of resolution as he shouted loudly, “Move back!”

Dumb Fox said, “Old Shield, what do you mean by this?”

“MOVE!” Shield Specialists stepped forward simultaneously, and the earth trembled while mountains swayed.

The crowd stepped back together. However, precisely at that step, they just nicely entered the Piranha’s aggro radius. Thus, another huge batch of people was swallowed.

“F*ck, Ironwall Empire wants to kill us all!”

“They just quietened down not too long ago, and they are out here to cause trouble again, kill these pieces of trash!”

The battle could be triggered at any moment!

Ghost Eyes pulled back the longbow and aimed at The Heavenly Shield’s head, the arrow ready to be shot.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flew out from the corner, dashing in front of him in a speed that was faster than a naked eye could see. Consecutive strikes by the longsword actually killed Ghost Eyes instantly!

This warrior that was wearing a wolf-head helmet took a look at The Heavenly Shield, and both of them simultaneously gave a smile so faint it was almost unnoticeable.

“Kill him!” Shallow Smile immediately ordered. Including herself, the Mage team started channeling collectively.

Fire element was conjured at once. If all the fireballs hit Lin Jie, he would definitely be killed instantly as his magic defense was not up to standard!

Just at that moment, a shrill scream suddenly sounded, and all the fireballs in the Mage team’s hands disappeared into thin air.

Not far away, Innocent Killer calmly folded his arms. Minstrel Musa stood beside him, its mouth still channeling. He had already finished gathering the Dark Contract Set. He waved his staff, and a Minstrel clone appeared. Spirit waves burst everywhere, causing damage points and stun marks to pop up.

“Brotherhood, go!” shouted Water, who should be called Codename Boiling Water during the operation. With a heavy shield in hand, he charged forward like a tank, bringing hundreds of Brotherhood players to charge in with overwhelming force, rushing behind Lin Jie.

Lin Jie calmed down and instantly saw the situation now clearly.

Triumphant Midnight, Hunter’s Guild, Shadow Devil Workshop, Kingdom of Glory and Dark-robed Knights were all on one side.

Whereas the Ironwall Empire and Brotherhood were on the other side.

At this moment, the Piranha still continued to devour and feed without constraint.

“Codename Lone Wolf?” Eighteen Massacres looked at the people behind Lin Jie in a thoughtful manner. “Your position does not seem low right?”

Lin Jie raised his Fire Longsword and stepped forward. Everyone behind him followed closely, and dust flew everywhere. The eyes under the wolf head were full of indifference, his tone full of ridicule. “What does that have to do with you?”

“Charge!” The Heavenly Shield shouted loudly.

The Shield Specialist team charged forward again, continuing to push the battlefield back.

Facing the group of Shield Specialists that their attacks were ineffective, unable to kill them, nor could they push them aside, they could only be forced to move back. What awaited them would be the crazy devouring of the Piranha.

Demon Robe calmed down instead. As he looked at the farce in front of him, he waved his right hand, and countless black shadows fell from the sky.

“Kill!”
