Cold Wind City Region System Announcement: Congratulations to Hekati for killing the Snow Ruin's Stone Guardian and completing the "Stone Heart" Quest. Guild Popularity increased by 2,000 points. Obtained the Snow Ruin's Blessing.
The system announcement repeated three times, echoing in the ears of every player in the Cold Wind City region.
"Didn't Hekati reach the fourth underground floor already? Did they defeat the fourth underground floor's Guardian Boss already? "
"Hekati is too amazing. Not only did they raid the first underground floor to the fourth underground floor, but they've even cleared the fourth underground floor?"
"As expected of a first-rate Guild. Other Guilds and adventurer teams can't compare to them. Now that they've completed the Guild Quest and obtained the Snow Ruin's Blessing, raiding the Snow Ruin will become much easier."
"It seems that Hekati is almost guaranteed to get the Snow Ruin's First Clear. It's a pity that the Asura Adventurers are constantly expanding their Adventurer Alliance and collecting rare materials. In the end, it seems that Hekati is still stronger!"
…
Everyone sighed when they saw the system announcement. The various major powers that were still challenging the Snow Ruin, in particular, had already given up on competing for the Snow Ruin's First Clear. At the same time, they also expressed their sympathy for the Asura Adventurers.
"Damn it! How is this possible?! "Sky Slicer frowned when he saw the system announcement.
Originally, he had thought that Hekati would only have a slight advantage over the Asura Adventurers. He had never imagined that the Guild would be so powerful as to reach the Snow Ruin's final floor. Moreover, the Guild had even completed the Epic Quest "Stone Heart."
The Centurion Dynasty also had this Guild Quest. However, the initial phase of the quest was extremely complex. Even now, the Centurion Dynasty had yet to complete the collection quest.
Yet, Hekati had actually completed the quest so quickly. They had even defeated the fourth underground floor's Guardian Boss and obtained the Stone Heart.
With this, the entire Guild would receive the Snow Ruin's Blessing. When they entered the Snow Ruin in the future, not only would their Basic Attributes increase by 8%, but they would also receive 10% less damage. Their Stamina and Concentration consumption would also decrease by 10%. With this, raiding the Final Boss would become much easier.
Meanwhile, the fifth underground floor of the Snow Ruin was completely different from the previous floors. Walking down the stairs led directly to an ancient hall. In the center of the hall stood a six-meter-tall skeleton giant. It wore a set of sacred golden armor and had a glowing saber inserted into the ground. Even though it was just standing there quietly, it gave off an indescribable sense of majesty and power.
[Skeleton King] (Undead, Specialized Archaic Species, Grand Lord) Level 65 HP 220,000,000/220,000,000/220,000,000
At this moment, a group of players was standing outside the hall, each of them waiting in formation. It was the main force led by Black Card, who had rested for a long time.
"Good. We've handed over the quest, and we've obtained the Snow Ruin's Blessing. Next, we'll stick to our original plan and focus on defense. We'll figure out the Boss's movement patterns and Skills before we raid it!" Carnage said, chuckling as he read the system announcement.
"Vice Guild Leader, you're being too careful. Our Basic Attributes have increased by 8%, and we receive 10% less damage. Although the Skeleton King is a Specialized Archaic Species, it is still a Grand Lord." At this time, a robust man over two meters tall and wielding a crystal shield stretched his limbs. He then shot the Skeleton King a disdainful glance.
The eleven players beside the robust man nodded in agreement. They didn't think much of the Skeleton King at all.
At this moment, Hekati's other members couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
Only Hekati's Twelve Heavens dared to say such a thing. If it were anyone else, they most likely wouldn't even think of fighting the Skeleton King.
However, Hekati's Twelve Heavens were indeed qualified to say such a thing. Not only were these twelve Heavens Tier 2 players, but they also wore excellent equipment. Even the weakest piece of equipment was Level 50 Secret-Silver rank, while quite a few wore Level 50 Fine-Gold Equipment. Some even wore Epic Equipment.
As for their Equivalents, all of them were Level 55. Their combat standards were even higher. Even Xuan Cang couldn't last more than 20 moves against these Twelve Heavens Tier 2 players.
It was precisely because of the Twelve Heavens and Hekati's robust capital that the Guild had become a peak first-rate Guild capable of becoming a super-first-rate Guild.
"It's better to be safe than sorry. I don't want to waste too much time in the Snow Ruin," Carnage said. Carnage did not say anything about this situation. After all, he knew just how powerful the Twelve Heavens were. These twelve players represented Hecate's apex combat power. "Alright, let's start!"
As soon as Carnage finished speaking, the Twelve Heavens sprang into action. The rest of the team followed closely behind.
Seeing Hecate's team rushing into the hall, the gigantic skeleton that had been standing quietly all this time abruptly turned to look at Hecate's members, its eyes glowing with emerald flames.
"This is the world of the undead! It is not a place for you living beings to enter!" The Skeleton King bellowed. It then unsheathed its greatsword and swung it at the three Tier 2 MTs.
As the greatsword flashed, dark-purple flames erupted from the Skeleton King's body and devoured the approaching MTs.
Just as the dark-purple flames were about to devour the Tier 2 MTs, a Tier 2 female Elementalist behind the Skeleton King ended her incantation and pointed her staff at the air.
Tier 2 Defensive Spell, Frost Barrier!
In the next moment, a translucent ice wall appeared before the three Tier 2 MTs. The dark-purple flames couldn't penetrate the ice wall at all. Only after the flames dissipated did the ice wall disappear.
As soon as the Ice Wall disappeared, the three Level 55, Tier 2 MTs took action simultaneously. Three Tier 2 Skills pierced through the Skeleton King's defenses and slammed into the Grand Lord's body. Damages of over -20,000 appeared above the Skeleton King's head one after another, instantly attracting the Grand Lord's aggro.
Once Hekati's other members were in position, they began to attack the Skeleton King as well.
Compared to the previous Bosses, the Skeleton King's Attack Power was on a whole different level. Every time it struck a Tier 2 MT's shield, the Tier 2 MTs would retreat by over a dozen yards and deal over -26,000 damage. If a Tier 2 MT's shield received a Basic Skill, the Skeleton King would instantly deal over -50,000 damage. If the Skeleton King did not block the attack with a shield, it wouldn't be surprising if it died instantly.
Whenever the Skeleton King's HP fell below a certain threshold, it would summon a large number of Skeleton Warriors. If these Chieftain ranked Skeleton Warriors were not killed within a short time, the Skeleton Warriors would transform into the Skeleton King's HP.
In addition, the Skeleton King would occasionally release Hellfire, launching irregular, large-scale AOE attacks. Even an MT wouldn't last more than two seconds if they came into contact with these flames. The Skeleton King was extremely difficult to raid.
However, every member of Hecate was an expert among experts. This was especially true for the three MTs of the Twelve Heavens. The three MTs rotated their attacks against the Skeleton King, swapping out the Skeleton King with every hit they took. Their grasp of timing was extremely precise. Hence, they barely managed to block the Skeleton King's frontal assault.
Only, doing so placed a lot of pressure on the rear line healers. Since the start of the battle, the healers had never stopped healing. They also had to watch out for the Skeleton Warriors that appeared from time to time and dodge the Hellfire attacks.
In this manner, the Skeleton King continued to wear down the Skeleton King. When the Skeleton King's HP fell to 50%, it went berserk, the greatsword in its hand burning with emerald flames.
Upon seeing this, Carnage immediately commanded everyone who could activate their Berserk Skills to do so.
By the time the flames on the greatswords extinguished, less than 70 of the originally lively 100-man team remained alive. Fortunately, the three MTs were still alive. However, this situation made it even more difficult for Hekati's members to deal with the Skeleton Warriors. As many of their damage dealers had died, they had no choice but to rely on more people to deal with the Skeleton Warriors.
As the battle continued, as the Skeleton King's HP continued to decrease, so did Hekati's members.
20% … 10% … 5% …
In the end, when the Skeleton King crashed to the ground, less than 20 of Hekati's 100-man team remained. Of the Twelve Heavens, only seven remained.
Cold Wind City Region System Announcement: Congratulations to Hekati's Guild for obtaining the First Clear of the Snow Ruin. Rewarding 2,000 Guild Popularity and 300 Cold Wind City Contribution Points.
"Success! Hekati has succeeded! "
"Vice Guild Leader, just as we guessed, we'll need 500 Contribution Points to take control of Cold Wind City. Once we complete a few more Epic City Quests, we'll get the remaining 200 Contribution Points!"
Hekati's surviving members could not help but grow excited when they saw the system announcement. Even Carnage's eyes glowed with excitement as he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Cold Wind City's players were similarly shocked by this news.
Not only did they sigh over the fact that they had finally opened a path to another region, but they were also amazed by Hekati's strength. With this, Hekati would have no choice but to take control of Cold Wind City. In the future, the city would belong to Hekati.
However, just as everyone was in shock over this news, another system announcement reached their ears.
