Therefore, after some discussion, everyone decided not to kill the small monsters. They had already calculated that without activating Legacy Transformation, the party's firepower would barely be able to kill the boss within 10 minutes. If they were to split their firepower to deal with the small monsters, they would only be wiped out by the Wrath of the Undead.
In reality, Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountains had already led the party to wipe out the first boss a few times. They were all wiped out when their firepower was insufficient for 10 minutes. Although they had Zhang Yang, Sun Xinyu, and Wei Yan'er, who were strong damage dealers, the gap in damage was too big. It was not something that could be filled by Zhang Yang and the others.
Without activating Legacy Transformation, they could indeed kill the boss within 10 minutes. This required everyone to unleash 100% of their firepower. However, because of the boss's Frost and Burning Pain, the party had to constantly move. It was impossible to deal the maximum damage while standing still.
The strategy was decided as follows: Zhang Yang, Infinite Starlight, and Ten Luo Ye would each pull two small monsters. The remaining three monsters would be taken by the remaining two Tanks. In addition, Zhang Yang would throw a Live and Die with the weakest damage dealer and let him tank the last monster. As for the 10th small monster that spawned after 10 minutes, since one Wrath of the Undead would wipe the party, it made no difference whether they pulled it or not.
Each Tank was assigned 7 people to eat Fire Meteor, dodge Burning Pain, and Hailstorm together.
This was a rather high requirement for the Tanks. If the Tanks ran in the wrong direction, the group would take extra damage. This also meant that the party would almost all die. If any of the parties were to collapse, there was no need to mention what would happen to the out of control monsters. Just the gap in the damage output of the boss would determine the fate of the party.
In reality, in the end, it was because of the lack of firepower.
If they could kill a small monster and deal 1.7 billion damage to the boss in 10 minutes, they would not have to fight so tirelessly.
There was no other way. The level of equipment dictated the level of the battle. If they wanted to use brute force, Zhang Yang's party was clearly not qualified. No guild in the entire server was qualified.
As for Legacy Transformation? The boss's powerful aura determined that if the transformation was activated, the party's Health Points would be terrifying. After transforming, the boss would have 10,000,000 Health Points. That would be 200,000 Health Points per second. Even Han Ying Xue would have a hard time dealing with that!
What's more, Zhang Yang's HP had reached 58,000,000 after his transformation. This … he was losing 1.16 million HP every second. Even if all of the healers in the party worked together, he might not be able to keep up!
It was not that Legacy Transformation could not be activated, but it could only be used during the last part of the battle. At most, it could only be used for one minute before being killed by his own high HP!
In other words, the boss battles here allowed players to have the advantage of Legacy Transformation. However, this advantage was greatly restricted, causing the Instance Dungeon battles to become slightly more balanced. For normal players, this was fair, but for Legacy Transformation players, it was extremely unfair!
Zhang Yang ran forward to pull the monster and blew the horn to attack.
"Huhuhu!" The boss shook its bony chin and let out a strange smile. It raised its axe and slashed at Zhang Yang.
After maxing out their Five Soul Points, the team members downed Intermediate Firepower Potions and began to attack like crazy. Although this was very costly, clearing a dungeon was done with potions, repair fees, and time!
The party was divided into six waves. Each of the six small square formations was led by a tank (one of which was a Pseudo Tank). They constantly moved around the boss.
30 seconds later.
"Burning Pain!" The boss growled. Eight black, screen-like rays of light surged out of its body and extended in all directions at a very slow speed. As long as they reacted in time, they would definitely not take damage.
"Hailstone!"
After the eight rays of light passed, the boss roared again. With a wave of its left hand, hailstones rained down on a very wide area. This hit dealt 100,000 damage! If they had been hit by the Burning Pain and slowed down, it was very likely that they would have been smashed to death by the hailstones!
Every party used the tank as the arrowhead, constantly dodging and attacking. For physical professions, this was not a big deal. After all, skills were basically instant cast. Walking and running did not affect the damage output. Of course, this was for experts. Normal players would forget about other things once they started running.
However, magic professions were in trouble. Because skills basically had to be channeled, they could not stop casting. This had a huge impact on the damage output!
Fortunately, other than the indispensable healers, the party did not have too many mages. Basically, it was mainly Bandits, Violent Warriors, and Hunters, so the impact was not too big.
60 seconds!
"My slave, come out and fight for me!" Andal roared and slashed the ground in front of him with his battle axe. The ground suddenly cracked, and a Skeleton Patroller crawled out, roaring at the party.
Zhang Yang immediately used a Horizontal Sweep, hitting the boss and the small monster at the same time. He successfully grabbed the first aggro.
The party ignored the small monster and continued to attack the boss.
Two minutes later, the second Skeleton Patroller was also summoned by the boss.
Infinite Starlight hurriedly took over and pulled this monster 10 meters away from the first monster to prevent the damage from overlapping.
Three minutes later, the third monster appeared, and Ten Net took over. The fourth, the fifth, the sixth … When all six tanks had aggroed the monsters, they formed an interesting formation. Zhang Yang pulled the BOSS and a small monster in the middle, while the other five monsters were in a circular formation 14 to 15 meters away from the BOSS. Each monster was 70 degrees away from the BOSS, and the distance between them was about 15 meters.
When they moved, the whole circle would move together. It was very interesting.
The seventh monster appeared and was pulled by Zhang Yang. The eighth monster belonged to Infinite Starlight, and the ninth was Ten Net. However, when the ten minutes were up, the boss still had as much as 18% HP. The Wrath of the Undead began to show its power, and the party was wiped out in two hits.
After corpse-running back, everyone ate snacks to recover, while discussing the areas that needed to be improved on.
"In reality, the followers can also share the damage. We don't need everyone to move together!"
"Not bad, the Healers are definitely enough. We can make four Magicians individually. They only need to take care of themselves, and they don't need to move together with everyone. They can increase their damage output!"
"When the Healers are free, they can also help out with damage output!"
After brainstorming, everyone slowly improved their strategy.
Thus, the second battle began.
14%!
This was an improvement. If they could use Legacy Transformation without restraint, everyone was confident that they could easily kill the boss in the next round. However, the existence of the Strong Aura meant that everyone could only attack for a maximum of one minute.
Although the power of the Legacy transformation was great, it was mainly reflected in the amount of HP. In truth, the increase in Attack Power would become "weaker" as the player's equipment improved. Even Zhang Yang's S-Grade Legacy only increased his DPS by 2.5 times after transformation.
Then, the increase for the others would be even smaller.
In one minute, they could at most deal 10% more damage under the Legacy Transformation. So, unless the boss's HP was reduced to 10%, there was no point in activating the Legacy Transformation.
Everyone worked hard to familiarize themselves with the boss's strategy. Once, twice, ten times … After failing thirteen times, the team could finally reduce the boss's HP to 11%.
"No wonder this stupid boss has never been killed by any guild. It turns out that it's so disgusting!" Fatty Han sighed.
"Stop complaining. We will definitely be able to kill it next time!" Everyone was full of confidence. 11%. Next time, as long as they hit 10%, they would activate the Legacy Transformation at the ninth minute and they would be able to kill the boss.
Start!
Everything went smoothly. When it came to the eighth minute, the boss's HP was reduced to 28%.
Nether God's Gaze!
Zhang Yang used this godly skill to kill bosses. As long as this skill was not resisted, then it would be able to reduce the boss's HP by 10%. It was equivalent to the entire team activating the Legacy Transformation.
Whoosh, a black skull formed on the boss's head.
It was not resisted!
Everyone cheered and used the time to attack!
They did not consider this skill beforehand because the probability of Nether's Gaze being effective on bosses was too low. It could not be used as a strategy at all. However, they did not expect Zhang Yang's luck to be so good this time. He succeeded on his first try.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. Under the bombardment of 50 people, in just four to five seconds, the 10 special effects of Nether's Gaze had been triggered. The boss's HP was instantly reduced to less than 18%.
They had entered the killing stage.
The firepower of the group suddenly increased by a level and began to bombard the boss. One minute later, the boss's HP was reduced to 9%.
In reality, if everyone activated the Legacy Transformation now, then they had a 100% chance of killing the boss. However, people were always greedy. If they could not use the Legacy Transformation to kill the boss, then they might be able to continue and kill the second boss.
Riches were found in danger. Everyone made up their minds and decided to only activate the Legacy Transformation for half of them. Not only would they be able to kill the boss, but they would also have a certain chance of killing the second boss.
5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%.
"Ah —" Andal let out an earth-shattering roar. Its huge body fell with a loud bang. The entire ground shook a few times. As soon as the boss died, the 10 Skeleton Patrollers automatically disappeared as well, leaving only a ground full of loot.
"We passed!" Everyone cheered. They had not encountered a Dungeon boss that required them to die more than 10 times in order to kill for a long time. They once again had the passion they had when they first started the dungeon. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me.
