Chapter 152 Hecate's Triumph

Hānfēng City Regional System Announcement: Congratulations to the Hecate Guild for defeating the Stone Statue Guardian of the Ice-Snow Ruins, completing the "Heart of the Stone Statue" quest. Guild reputation increased by 2000 points, and received the blessing of the Ice-Snow Ruins.

The system announcement echoed three times, resonating in the ears of all players within the Hānfēng City area.

"Hasn't Hecate already reached the fourth underground level? Could it be that they've already defeated the guardian Boss of the fourth underground level?"

"Hecate is too amazing. It's one thing to clear from the first underground level to the fourth in one go, but now they've even conquered the fourth underground level?"

"As expected of a first-rate guild. They're indeed incomparable to other guilds and adventurer teams. Now they've completed the guild quest and received the blessing of the Ice-Snow Ruins, it will be much easier to conquer the Ice-Snow Ruins."

"It seems that Hecate is now sure to get the first clear of the Ice-Snow Ruins. It's a pity that the Shura Adventurer Team is constantly expanding the Adventurers Alliance to collect rare materials, but in the end, Hecate is still more powerful!"

……

Everyone looked at the system announcement, sighing with emotion. Especially the major forces that were still challenging the Ice-Snow Ruins, they now had the idea of giving up competing for the first clear, and at the same time expressed sympathy for the Shura Adventurer Team.

"Damn it! How could this happen?" Badao Changkong frowned as he looked at the system announcement.

He originally thought that Hecate would only have a slight advantage over the Shura Adventurer Team, but he didn't expect them to be so powerful, directly rushing to the last level of the Ice-Snow Ruins, and even completing the guild epic quest "Heart of the Stone Statue."

Their Hundred Worlds Dynasty also had this guild quest, but the early quests were very complicated, and until now, their Hundred Worlds Dynasty had not yet completed the early collection quests.

But Hecate completed it so quickly, and even killed the guardian Boss on the fourth level, obtaining the Heart of the Stone Statue.

In this way, the entire guild will receive the blessing of the Ice-Snow Ruins. In the future, when entering the Ice-Snow Ruins, the basic attributes will directly increase by 8%, the damage received will be reduced by 10%, and the consumption of stamina and mental power will also be reduced by 10%, making it easier to conquer the final Boss.

On the fifth underground level of the Ice-Snow Ruins, this place was completely different from the previous levels. Walking down from the steps led directly to an ancient hall. In the center of the hall stood a skeleton giant more than six meters tall, wearing golden holy armor, a battle blade gleaming with a ghostly light inserted into the ground. Even just standing there gave people an unspeakable sense of majesty and power.

Bone King, Undead creature, specialized Ancient species, High-ranking Grand Lord, Level 65, HP 220 million.

At this time, a group of players stood outside the hall, all on high alert. It was the main force of Hecate, who had been resting for a long time.

"Very good, the quest has been handed over, and we have already obtained the blessing of the Ice-Snow Ruins. Next, according to the previous plan, focus on defense, first figure out the Boss's movement patterns and the skills it possesses, and then start the attack!" Xue Guang looked at the system announcement and couldn't help but smile.

"Vice Guild Leader, you are too cautious. Our basic attributes have increased by 8%, and the damage we receive has also been reduced by 10%. Although it is a specialized Ancient species, it is only a high-ranking Grand Lord after all." At this time, a burly man with a crystal giant shield in his hand, more than two meters tall, moved his hands and feet, glancing at the Bone King with extreme disdain.

The eleven people next to the burly man also nodded, expressing their agreement with what the burly man said, as if they didn't take the Bone King seriously at all.

At this time, the others in Hecate couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

Only the Twelve Fiends of Hecate dared to say that. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't even have the intention to fight.

However, the Twelve Fiends of Hecate were indeed qualified to say that, because these twelve people were not only Tier 2 classes, but their equipment was also very gorgeous. The worst equipment was level 50 Mithril grade, and there were many level 50 Fine-Gold grade equipment. The good ones even had Epic grade equipment.

As for the levels, they were also very high, all at level 55. Not to mention their combat skills, even Xuan Cang couldn't last twenty moves in their hands.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Twelve Fiends, coupled with Hecate's strong capital, that they became a top-tier first-rate guild capable of impacting super-first-rate guilds.

"Better safe than sorry. I don't want to waste too much time in the Ice-Snow Ruins." Xue Guang didn't say anything about this, because he knew very well how strong the Twelve Fiends were. These twelve people represented the peak combat power of Hecate. "Alright, let's start the fight!"

As soon as Xue Guang finished speaking, the Twelve Fiends immediately took action, and the others followed closely behind.

Seeing everyone rushing into the hall, the huge skeleton that had been standing still suddenly lit up with emerald green flames in its eyes, turning its head to look at the Hecate members who were rushing up.

"This is the world of the dead, not a place where you living can come!" the Bone King shouted, and the battle blade in his hand was suddenly pulled out, and then he swung the blade at the three Tier 2 MTs who were rushing up.

The blade flashed, and deep purple flames also burst out, directly engulfing everyone who rushed up.

Seeing that the deep purple flames were about to engulf the Tier 2 MTs, a Tier 2 female Elementalist who was following closely behind also ended her chanting, and pointed her staff at the sky.

Tier 2 defensive magic, Ice Barrier!

A semi-transparent ice wall formed in front of the three Tier 2 MTs, blocking the front of the three people. The deep purple flames could not pass through the ice wall at all. It was not until the flames dissipated that the ice wall was lifted.

As the ice wall was lifted, the three level 55 Tier 2 MTs attacked at the same time. Three Tier 2 skills passed through the Bone King's defenses, heavily bombarding the Bone King's body, causing damage of more than 20,000 points to appear above the Bone King's head, instantly attracting the Bone King's aggro.

After the others in Hecate stood in position, they also began to attack.

Compared with the previous Bosses, the Bone King was on a completely different level in terms of pure attack power. A casual blow on the shield of a Tier 2 MT could send the Tier 2 MT flying more than ten yards away, causing more than 26,000 points of damage. If an ordinary attack skill hit the shield, it could instantly cause more than 50,000 points of damage. If it was not blocked by the shield, it would not be surprising if they were instantly killed.

Whenever the Bone King's health was reduced to a certain level, it would summon a large number of skeleton warriors. If these leader-level skeleton warriors were not killed in a short time, these skeleton warriors would be converted into the Bone King's health.

In addition, the Bone King would also release hellfire from time to time, carrying out irregular large-scale attacks. As long as players touched this flame, even MTs would not survive for more than two seconds, making the raid difficulty very high.

However, the Hecate members were all experts among experts, especially the three MTs of the Twelve Fiends, who took turns fighting the Bone King, switching out after one hit each, alternating between life and death, and had a very precise grasp of timing, which barely blocked the Bone King's frontal attacks.

However, doing so put a lot of pressure on the healers in the back row. The healers could be said to have been healing non-stop from beginning to end, and they also had to be careful of the skeleton warriors that popped up from time to time, and also had to avoid the attacks of hellfire.

In this way, they constantly consumed each other with the Bone King. When the Bone King's health dropped to 50%, the Bone King began to erupt, and the battle blade in his hand burned with emerald green flames.

This caused Xue Guang to immediately order everyone who could activate burst skills to activate them.

By the time the flames on the battle blade were extinguished, less than 70 of the 100 people who had been full of life were left. Fortunately, all three MTs were still alive, but this made it difficult for the Hecate members to deal with the skeleton warriors that appeared, because many of the DPS had died, so more people had to be used to eliminate the skeleton warriors.

As the battle progressed, the number of Hecate members continued to decrease as the Bone King's health decreased.

20%... 10%... 5%...

In the end, when the Bone King fell to the ground, less than 20 of Hecate's hundred-member team were left. Only seven of the Twelve Fiends were left. It could be said to be very tragic.

Hānfēng City Regional System Announcement: Congratulations to the Hecate Guild for achieving the first clear of the Ice-Snow Ruins, awarding the guild with an increase of 2000 points in reputation and 300 points in Hānfēng City contribution.

"We succeeded! We, Hecate, succeeded!"

"Vice Guild Leader, just like we guessed before, we need 500 contribution points to control Hānfēng City. After that, as long as we complete a few more epic city quests, we can get the remaining 200 contribution points!"

The Hecate members who were still alive couldn't help but get excited when they saw the system announcement. Even the Vice Guild Leader Xue Guang's eyes lit up, and he felt an unspeakable sense of relief in his heart.

The players in the entire Hānfēng City were also shocked by this news.

Not only were they sighing that the gate to other regions had finally been opened, but they were also amazed by Hecate's strength. Now it would be difficult for Hecate to not control Hānfēng City, and the future would be Hecate's world.

But just as everyone was amazed by this news, another system announcement suddenly sounded in their ears.

Hānfēng City Regional System Announcement: Congratulations to the Shura Adventurer Team for achieving the first clear of the Heroic Ice-Snow Ruins, awarding the Key of Heroes and 500 points of Hānfēng City contribution.
