Chapter 158 Good Fortune

“Aww!”

As Lone Nine Extremes approached within 150 yards of the Ice Ape Warlord, the Ice Ape Warlord’s eyes snapped open, and it roared furiously. The sound echoed throughout the entire third-floor hall, as if the entire floor was trembling.

Before Lone Nine Extremes could get close, the Ice Ape Warlord took a step forward and vanished, transforming into a gust of wind that swept towards Lone Nine Extremes.

In the blink of an eye, it appeared before Lone Nine Extremes, its sword crashing down.

Lone Nine Extremes reacted quickly, slightly deflecting the Ice Ape Warlord’s sword with his shield, causing it to strike the ground. Immediately afterward, the one-handed axe in his hand glowed with silver divine runes, and he swung it at the Ice Ape Warlord.

Tier 2 skill, Furious Strike!

The one-handed axe pierced through the Ice Ape Warlord’s defenses and struck it directly, causing the Ice Ape Warlord to scream in agony.

-51854!

Everyone was dumbfounded by the damage. It was too powerful. Before, when dealing with the Primordial Species Ice Ape Warlord, Lone Nine Extremes' skills only dealt over 20,000 damage, but now it had more than doubled.

Enraged by the attack, the Ice Ape Warlord waved its two arms, slashing at Lone Nine Extremes in mid-air. Lone Nine Extremes spun in the air, and the shield in his hand radiated dazzling light, causing the incoming swords to strike the shield involuntarily.

Tier 2 defensive skill, Attack Transfer!

This rare defensive skill not only forces all attacks from one target to hit the shield, but also increases the user’s defense by 100% and halves the damage taken.

The two swords struck the shield, and only two damage numbers of around 6,000 appeared above Lone Nine Extremes' head. For a level 55 player with over 65,000 HP, it was nothing. A healer in the back could easily heal it back.

Then, Lone Nine Extremes seized the opportunity and struck the wide-open Ice Ape Warlord again with his axe.

-49431!

This attack completely drew the Ice Ape Warlord’s aggro, making Lone Nine Extremes the only target in its eyes, and it launched a frantic assault.

"Good! Everyone else, attack!" Shi Feng said, seeing that the aggro was pretty much secured.

At Shi Feng’s command, everyone swarmed forward.

Jing Wuming took the lead, his Tier 3 Magic Spear radiating silver divine runes. A Strong Thrust pierced the Ice Ape Warlord’s joint, causing its movements to falter, and a damage number of over 90,000 appeared.

Mu Xiaoxiao, Yan Ya, and other Tier 2 classes, using the burst capabilities of their Magic Weapons, could easily deal 70,000 to 80,000 damage, which was much higher than the MT Lone Nine Extremes and Dark Night Rhapsody. Even without using skills, they could deal 30,000 to 40,000 damage.

As for the other Tier 1 experts, wielding Tier 2 Magic Weapons, they could deal around 30,000 damage when activated, and over 10,000 even without using them.

This made everyone feel that it was even easier than dealing with the Ice Ape Warlord in Normal Mode.

The Ice Ape Warlord’s HP dropped crazily, quickly falling to 90%, activating its two passive skills, greatly reducing the attack speed of the top twenty damage dealers, while increasing the Ice Ape Warlord’s own attack and defense.

"Everyone, pay attention. Only use weapon skills when you are sure you can hit the Boss. If you are not 100% certain, attack normally. Dark Night Rhapsody, you and Lone Nine Extremes take turns attracting the Boss's attention, prioritize killing the spawning monsters!" Shi Feng commanded in the team chat when he saw the Boss's two passive skills activated.

Their attack speed was greatly reduced, but that didn’t mean their attack power decreased. As long as they could hit, the damage dealt would be the same.

Then, Shi Feng activated Abyssal Curse, slightly reducing the Boss's attributes by 10%, making it much easier for everyone to deal with.

Because of the Magic Weapons, although the Ice Ape Warlord activated its two passive skills, the rate of HP reduction slowed down a lot, but the other members of the team dealing 10,000 to 20,000 damage was not much less than a normal Tier 2 class, which still allowed the Ice Ape Warlord's HP to drop rapidly.

80%... 60%... 30%...

No matter how crazy the Ice Ape Warlord became, it couldn’t resist the Asura team, which was comparable to a team of Tier 2 classes.

When the Ice Ape Warlord’s HP dropped to 20%, its six arms suddenly raised up, and it began to gather a large amount of magic power, clearly about to use a team-wipe skill, something that didn’t exist in Normal Mode.

"Everyone, gather here!" Shi Feng wasn’t flustered. He had dealt with team-wipe skills of Bosses in Heroic Mode before. It was normal for the Ice Ape Warlord to have one now. He immediately shouted in the team chat.

Everyone was an expert. Hearing Shi Feng’s command, they quickly gathered around Shi Feng.

However, the Ice Ape Warlord’s charging time was extremely short, only two or three seconds. Some people were too far away and hadn’t run to Shi Feng’s side yet. The six swords were swung in all directions simultaneously. The powerful destructive force was too much even for the hard stone slabs, which shattered inch by inch, spreading to more than 100 yards around.

Three people who weren’t within Shi Feng’s activated Absolute Domain were instantly killed...

The terrifying destructive force shocked everyone. However, after the ultimate move, the Ice Ape Warlord entered a state of sluggishness, its movement speed slowed down a lot, making it easier for everyone to attack.

In less than two minutes, the Ice Ape Warlord died under Shi Feng’s attack, boosted by God’s Blessing, and dropped items all over the ground.

Looking at the dead Ice Ape Warlord, everyone was filled with emotion. They didn’t expect the Boss in Heroic Mode to be so easy to deal with. Even Hecate in Normal Mode was only defeated after more than half the team had died. If it weren’t for the team-wipe move, they probably could have cleared it without any casualties.

"Resurrect the dead, and after recovering, we will enter the fourth floor," Shi Feng instructed, then began to pick up the dropped items.

Although he used God’s Blessing, the Boss in the Ice Crystal World was still a Boss in the Ice Crystal World. The dropped items were almost all Epic-grade materials. Only two pieces of equipment dropped, a level 50 Fine-Gold Robe and a level 50 Fine-Gold Two-Handed Axe. Even so, many experts in the team were drooling.

Among the thirty-plus items, the only item that caught Shi Feng’s eye was the level 50 Dark-Gold Weapon Forging Design: Sokm’s Blade. For the current God’s Domain, which was extremely lacking in level 50 equipment, a level 50 Dark-Gold weapon was simply unattainable.

After sorting out the drops, Shi Feng saw that everyone had recovered, and led the team to the fourth floor.

The fourth floor was like a maze, full of traps, making progress very slow.

Finally, after spending more than an hour, they arrived at a spacious hall.

"As expected, there are no monsters guarding it?" Shi Feng arrived at the fourth floor, and like the third floor, there were no roaming monsters. There were only two gargoyles with four wings standing quietly at the entrance to the next level.

Gargoyle Guardian, Primordial Species, High Grand Lord, Level 64, HP 130 million.

"This floor is to deal with two Bosses at the same time?" Shi Feng glanced at the two gargoyles, smiled slightly, and instructed, "Nine Extremes and Rhapsody, each of you hold one. Split into two groups of fifty people and fight separately!"

Other teams would probably have a headache over this kind of level, or even turn back and prepare again, but for the current Asura Adventure Team, it was nothing. Lone Nine Extremes and Dark Night Rhapsody, who wielded Tier 3 Magic Weapons, were both Refinement Realm experts, and one person was enough to hold off a Primordial Species. As for the output, the team’s damage output, even if halved, was still more than the Gargoyle Guardians could handle.

And everything was as Shi Feng expected. Normally, a hundred-man team would have a very hard time dealing with a High Grand Lord-level Primordial Species. Splitting into fifty people would be even more impossible. But for the Asura Adventure Team, whose equipment had been enhanced and who wielded Magic Weapons, it took less than twenty minutes to wear down the two Gargoyle Guardians to death. They both died under Shi Feng’s sword, dropping more than thirty items. But this time, there were no items that caught Shi Feng’s eye, only three pieces of level 50 equipment, two Fine-Gold and one Dark-Gold Boots.

After resting for more than ten minutes, Shi Feng prepared to lead the team into the fifth floor, the final floor of the entire Ice-Snow Ruins.

Suddenly, a system announcement sounded in his ear.
