Although the players had worked very hard, when the gap in strength reached a certain level, it was difficult to make up for it with just hard work and numbers.
That was especially true for the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior, an enemy that moved like a natural disaster. Many newbie Players simply didn't know how to fight him, and could only keep their distance and occasionally throw a ranged skill or two. Even so, few of those skills actually hit the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior, since most of them were melted by the heat or missed by the distorted air.
It was only after they were above Level twenty and had learned certain class-changing skills that the second-rate Players could truly join the battle. Even so, aside from the Holy Lancers who walked the path of meat shields, most of them were mainly harassing the Tiger Warrior.
Only the first-rate Players who were above Level forty and had learned the ultimate skills of their own class were the main force fighting the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior.
Still, there were too few of them. Most of them had their own goals and were disdainful of the event organized by the Players on their own. There wasn't even a quest, and only a few first-rate Players like Edward were participating in the fight.
"The other Mountain Tigers around us are attacking and pinning down the second-rate Players when they see that our forces are tied down by the Boss. Without their harassment and cover, we won't be able to hold on against such a monster!"
"Eleena's mana is almost depleted, and the Pepsi (Mana Potion) has also made her immune to it. Without her excellent resurrection spell, the Players would lose a lot of members. To avoid unnecessary EXP loss, why don't we retreat!" Gou Dan, who was covered in scorch marks but still looked spirited, approached Edward and reported to him.
It wasn't just Gou Dan who was having a hard time fighting. Even Edward was fuming.
Although he was still the one giving orders in the battle, the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior's trait of not being afraid of fire meant that he could only attack with spells that he had yet to change class, which in turn was no different from a newbie Player's …
It was the first time a Player had been beaten to the point of cowardice in a party battle.
"No, this is the most important moment!" Edward, however, shook his head and refused Gou Dan's suggestion. "While the battle just now left me frustrated, it also cleared my head a little … This isn't an event organized by the System or the gods, but a battle organized by Zonyan's faction. The enemy is also different from the murloc skeletons. It's a real, living thing … "
"Just like this boss … Do you think it doesn't know that it will self-destruct if it continues like this? Judging from the ice-filled basement he appeared in, that's obviously not the case. " Edward took a deep breath. "It's just risking its life for the survival of its tribe!"
The God of Games had once written eight doctrines, and memorizing them by heart was one of the few requirements to become a believer of the God of Games.
Among the eight doctrines, there was one:
— Please remember that killing monsters to level up is only a means, don't let killing become your goal.
In the past, Edward did not pay too much attention to this doctrine. After all, regardless of whether his enemies were cold-blooded murlocs, fleshless skeletons, or evildoers, he did not have any psychological burden when he killed them. He even felt a little refreshed. (, domain name (please remember _ 3
But when he was fighting these Tigermen, he clearly felt that something was different.
Even though their appearances were a little strange, they were facing living humans and not monsters. They also wanted to try their best to survive. For survival, for the survival of their clansmen, they gave their all.
'So that's why the God of Games didn't specifically assign quests to us so that we could experience that?' Even the loot was the same. The loot this time was obviously much shabbier than usual. Was this also a warning to us not to indulge in slaughter? Mobile:/m.33xs/
In other words, the enemies that had no burden to kill and were even beneficial to the world were handpicked by the God of Games to train the Players.
As expected of the God of Games, to be able to think so far ahead!
Of course, the Players and the Mountain Tigers were now irreconcilable enemies. Moreover, the Mountain Tigers had provoked the Players first, which was why there was no need to show mercy.
If they retreated here, the enemy would pursue them, and the players would have to pay a heavy price. The outcome might not be better than fighting the enemy to the end. Moreover, it would give the Mountain Tigers a chance to linger on, and they would definitely take the chance to hide in a place that the Players couldn't find, and come back for trouble after they recovered.
While the Players weren't afraid of such threats and could even treat them as EXP that came knocking on their door, the Long Ears might be caught in the crossfire.
The Players needed a spokesperson in the Western Continent, and Zonyan's identity as a prince in dire straits was useless before he reclaimed his position as chief of the Grayclaw Tribe.
In comparison, the Long Ears were better off.
Edward briefly explained his conclusion. While the other Players were a little scared, their undying constitution was there for all to see, and the cowardly Players wouldn't join the event either. That was why they braced themselves and continued to fight the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior head-on.
Meanwhile, the second-rate Players were doing their best to get rid of the harassing Tigermen as soon as possible so that they could gang up on the Boss.
Even so, the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior's prowess was an insurmountable hurdle. As the battle dragged on and the second-rate Players had yet to return, the Players' resurrection strategy began to crumble due to the lack of mana.
In fact, if Eleena, the Saintess, hadn't used her Holy Shield to block most of the damage, the Players would have been beaten to a pulp.
"Damn it, if there were more Players …"
Edward had left the Boss assault party and joined a mobile party to help the second-rate Players defeat their enemies as soon as possible.
He couldn't help feeling dejected as the situation slowly spiraled out of control, regretting that he had underestimated the event and didn't mobilize the other first-rate and second-rate Players.
Right now, as long as a group of second-rate Players, or even a certain number of newbie Players, were able to keep the Tigermen busy so that the Players could focus all their forces on the encirclement of the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior, the situation wouldn't have ended up like this!
That was when an arrow suddenly flew past and stabbed into the body of the Tigerman opposite Edward.
Edward did a double take and looked towards the direction the arrow came from, only to find that a group of figures with long rabbit ears had appeared at the entrance of the fortress.
"Don't worry!" Laybit shouted energetically at the Players, holding a small crossbow in his hand. "Because we're here to help too!"
