After recovering, Zhang Yang began to distribute the spoils of war.
The boss dropped a total of two Earth Saint equipment and three Illusionary equipment, all of which were Level 170. Of course, it was impossible for dungeon equipment to reduce the level requirement by 20, nor would it provide both attack and defense. There was a clear distinction between defensive equipment and damage output equipment.
However, the advantage of dungeon equipment was that if you could defeat it, you could equip the equipment that dropped. Unlike Wild bosses, you might have to wait for a long time!
The three Illusionary equipment were auctioned off using guild points. Even though they were only Illusionary equipment, the majority of guilds had yet to conquer the death-mode Undead Body, so the number of Earth Saint equipment was definitely limited. Illusionary equipment was still very powerful.
After that, it was time for the two Earth Saint equipment to be auctioned off.
[Unfalling Dignity Gauntlet] (Earth Saint equipment, Armour)
Armour: + 640
Stamina: + 7935
Strength: + 1957
Agility: + 826
[Level 6 Socket]
Equip: Increases max HP by 15,870.
Equip: Absorbs 1697 damage when attacked.
Level Requirement: 170
Although it was meant for Fighters, Zhang Yang's Crimson Refined Gloves were a Level 180 Earth Saint Artifact. Not only did they have defensive properties, but they also had high attack power. Zhang Yang simply didn't care for these gloves, so he didn't participate in the competition.
Even though the Unlimited Starlight Gauntlet was only a Illusionary equipment, since he was part of a team, he naturally wanted to maximize the equipment's advantages. It was better for him to pursue equipment with high intelligence. As a result, this equipment was contested between Ten Net and the other two Fighters.
Even though everyone was a main guild and a subguild, guild points were universal. Ten Net hadn't been in the guild for long, but with his excellent mechanics and awareness, he had performed outstandingly in guild activities and earned a considerable amount of guild points. He had unexpectedly suppressed the other two Tanks and won the gauntlet.
Because they still had to fight the second boss, Zhang Yang used an Appraisal Scroll to appraise the equipment on the spot so that the person who received it could immediately equip it. Even though it hadn't been enchanted with gems, it wasn't too important.
The second equipment was a pair of cloth boots, which was won by a Mage from a subguild. Han Ying Xue, Daffodil Blossom and Dream Sweetheart all had Earth Saint equipment boots, so they naturally didn't compete.
After distributing the equipment, everyone continued to move forward. They exited the tomb, descended the stone steps, and arrived at the tomb's second floor.
This level of the tomb was like a huge square. Because only the surrounding walls had torches, the light was limited, and the area in the middle was completely dark. However, under the illumination of the torches, one could still see countless stone statues standing in the middle of it.
These stone statues all had ferocious expressions and two wings on their backs that covered their bodies from the neck down. Only their heads and two bird claws were exposed — they were Gargoyles!
[Sleeping Gargoyle] (Elite, Undead)
Level: 175
Health Points: 100,000,000
Armor: 11030
Close Combat Attack Power: 75903 - 115903
Skills:
[Gargoyle Shriek]: Weakens the target's defence, increasing damage taken by 10% for 12 seconds. Stackable.
[Gargoyle Strike]: Deals 100% melee damage to all targets within 10 metres and has a 20% chance of stunning the target.
[Petrified State]: When attacked, the damage taken is reduced by 80%, but the target cannot move.
Looking at the densely packed numbers, everyone felt a headache coming on. If they accidentally provoked too many of them, unless they activated their inherited transformation, they would be instantly wiped out!
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Yang threw the Spear of Destruction at one of the Gargoyles. The Gargoyle's eyes snapped open, and two balls of green light flickered within them. Zhang Yang waved his hand, and the Spear of Destruction struck one of the Gargoyles.
"Chirp —" The Gargoyle let out a cry, and the stone fragments on its body fell off. It flapped its wings and flew towards Zhang Yang like a bat. At the same time, the other four Gargoyles also began to tremble. As the stone fragments fell, another four Gargoyles appeared and attacked the party.
Unlimited Starlight and the other four tanks immediately rushed forward, each pulling one Gargoyle away. These monsters' Shriek of Gargoyles could continuously stack. Five of them stacked together was relatively fast, so they had to be separated.
— Although this was the party's first time fighting in death mode, they had already cleared Hard mode and Normal mode. The skills of the monsters were the same, the only difference was their strength. Therefore, everyone immediately made the correct response.
The Gargoyle's Shriek could be heard once every 10 seconds, which was quite threatening. However, both Warrior's Fury and Divine Shield could dispel it. Moreover, the party's firepower was very strong, so they could basically kill one Gargoyle every 30 seconds. They would not give the Gargoyles a chance to stack too many Shrieks.
The boss was right in the middle of the plaza. They had to clear the entire plaza of monsters first. Otherwise, once the boss was killed, no matter how many monsters were left, they would all wake up and attack the players fiercely!
It took almost two hours to clear a circle of monsters. In the middle of the plaza stood the silhouette of the boss.
This was a huge Gargoyle, more than 30 meters tall. Unlike the other Gargoyles which had a gray appearance, it was dark black!
[Gargoyle Aronor] (Earth Divine Leader, Specter)
Level: 175
Health Points: 1,750 million
Armor: 17660
Melee Attack Power: 140153 - 200153
Skills:
[Gargoyle Shriek]: Weakens the target's Defense, increasing the damage taken by the target by 20%. Lasts for 10 minutes. Stackable. Cooldown: 10 seconds. Cannot be dispelled.
[Gargoyle Strike]: Deals 150% Melee Attack Power Physical Damage to all targets within 10 meters. Cooldown: 10 seconds.
[Gargoyle Bomb]: Randomly place 50 bombs on the ground. The bombs will explode after 3 seconds, dealing 500,000 Fire Damage to all targets within 5 meters. Cooldown: 30 seconds.
[Gargoyle Dimension]: When players are more than 50 meters away from Aronor, they will receive a destructive attack. Regardless of their remaining Health Points, they will die instantly.
[Wrath of the Undead]: If the battle lasts for more than 10 minutes, Aronor will evolve into a berserk state, dealing 10,000,000 Chaos Damage to all enemy targets in the dungeon every second.
It was still a boss with a battle time limit!
However, as there were no skills to summon monsters, the team only needed to focus on the boss. The only problem was that the Gargoyle Bomb was the Gargoyle Dimension. Everyone could not hide too far away from the boss. They could only move around within 50 meters of the boss. It was quite crowded. However, as everyone's equipment was quite high-end, and with the 40% increase in Zhang Yang's Stamina, everyone's maximum Health Points was at least 500,000. Even if they could not avoid being hit by the bomb once, it would not be fatal. However, if they were hit twice …
However, as the boss's Gargoyle Scream could not be dispelled, it could theoretically stack up to 1,200% damage in 10 minutes.
That was a basic attack power of 1.96 million to 2.8 million. Against players who did not have Legacy Transformation, it could easily kill a Tank!
The players had tested it in Normal and Hard Mode. If the skill could not be dispelled, then it really could not be dispelled. Even if they activated Invincibility, it would be useless! The way to deal with it was to use Tanks to relay the damage. If one Tank stacked up too much, they would immediately stop creating aggro and let another Tank take over the aggro. They would then retreat to the second line and act as the damage dealers (or get killed by the boss).
As there was no "Wrath of the Undead" in Normal and Hard Mode, the battle could drag on for 20 or 30 minutes. The damage dealers could try their best to lower the damage and let the Tanks take turns. That way, they could slowly kill the boss.
However, Death Mode added a time line to the boss battle. After this time, the boss would go berserk and the team would be wiped out!
Therefore, this had a rather high requirement for the Tanks. Even the second, third, or even fourth Tanks had to maintain high aggro. They could take over immediately after the main Tank died or the aggro was cleared, and the main aggro would not be taken over by the crazy damage dealers.
Looking at Sun Xinyu, Wei Yan'er, and Narcissus, these powerful damage dealers, Infinite Starlight, Ten Net Night, and the other two Tanks all expressed that this was too difficult.
"It's okay, they all have skills to clear aggro!" Zhang Yang comforted and encouraged.
"But the Vanish skill needs 5 minutes!" Infinite Starlight said weakly.
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Then I'll activate Legacy Transformation and drag it all the way!"
"Oh yeah, long live the boss!" Infinite Starlight immediately cheered.
Because Sun Xinyu and the other Inhumans had similar damage dealers, Infinite Starlight, Ten Net Night, and the others did not have the confidence to hold the aggro. This was naturally only possible for Zhang Yang, who was both a Tank and a damage dealer — Inhumans could only be countered by similarly Inhumans.
"Everyone, activate Legacy Transformation. After we finish this, we'll rest!" Zhang Yang said.
They had wasted too much time on No.1, and although playing Miracle wouldn't tire them physically, it was mentally taxing to repeat the same things over and over again. Moreover, Zhang Yang did not want to focus on the Instance Dungeon. He only came here to boost their morale. His goal was to reach Level 180 as soon as possible and start killing Sky Sage bosses!
One had to know that Sky Sage bosses dropped Level 200-210 Sky Sage equipment, which could be equipped by Level 180-190 players. It was at least twice as good as the Earth Sage equipment dropped in Instance Dungeons! To him, Instance Dungeon equipment was for the backbone of the guild, while the core and main force should always focus on the Wild bosses. (To be continued.
