White Autumn and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Wesland.
Even Level 150, Tier 2 NPCs had been annihilated by the Sunset King's unparalleled might, not to mention players like themselves. The Sunset King would most likely annihilate them in a single hit, just like the other players. Not even their ashes would remain.
Now that Wesland was here, the Level 180, Tier 4 Heavenly Knight was no pushover, even if Mutants had Ignore Levels. This was especially true with Lake Mountain City's magic array.
However, the Sunset King didn't seem to care about Wesland's arrival. Instead, the scythe in its hand radiated an even more intense energy, causing the space around it to crumble. The Sunset King's aura also soared.
"What's going on? How did it get stronger? " Silent Rain was stupefied when he saw the Sunset King's crimson aura grow denser.
The Sunset King's Strength had already reached an inconceivable level. Now, the Sunset King's aura had grown even stronger. It was as if the Sunset King's restrictions had been lifted once more. Even though he was within 100 yards of the Sunset King, he found it difficult to move.
"How did it get stronger so quickly?" Shifeng couldn't understand what was happening.
When monsters transformed into Mutants, their Strength would undergo a qualitative transformation. Moreover, levels couldn't be used to measure a monster's strength. As they continued to kill players and other creatures, they would grow stronger as well. However, he had never heard of a Mutant evolving twice within a short time.
Before White Autumn and the others could react, the Sunset King brandished its scythe.
One slash!
White Autumn and the others felt as if the world around them had turned crimson.
"Is that really a Mythic monster?" The distant players were stupefied when they saw this scene.
After all, the Sunset King had only swung its scythe once, yet the cone-shaped space before it had transformed into a crimson world. The space around the Sunset King distorted, and everything in its path turned into nothingness.
Just as the crimson world was about to envelop Wesland, the Sunset King raised his icy-blue axe and swung it at the air.
Tier 4 Skill, Firmament Flash!
Immediately, dozens of blue streaks of light met the crimson world.
Boom … Boom … Boom …
The resulting shockwave from the clash sent White Autumn and the others stumbling back, the sound echoing throughout Lake Mountain City. When the dust settled, they saw that the Sunset King had only stumbled back a few steps. It stared at Wesland quietly, seemingly unharmed.
"Impossible!"
"Is this a monster? Even a Level 180, Tier 4 NPC is only slightly stronger. "
The spectating players were stupefied. They couldn't understand how a Level 100 Mythic monster could contend with a Level 180, Tier 4 NPC.
Before anyone could snap out of their daze, the Sunset King raised its scythe and roared. Immediately, a bloody mist erupted from the Sunset King. Thousands of Level 100-plus Undying Spirits emerged from the mist, and the weakest among them was a High Lord, while the strongest was a Grand Lord.
As these Undying Spirits appeared, the sound of a system notification reached the ears of Lake Mountain City's players.
System: Lake Mountain City has triggered the Inferior Legendary Event "Mutant King's Awakening". Defeat the Mutant Heart before the Mutant King occupies Lake Mountain City. Receive the Sea God's blessing.
The moment the system notification appeared, every player in Lake Mountain City was stunned. Some of the players who had intended to flee stopped in their tracks.
Inferior Legendary Event!
They had never heard of such a thing happening in the Sea God's Realm. Furthermore, they had been blessed by the Sea God after defeating the Sunset King.
A God's blessing!
The Sea God's blessing was even more powerful than a Dependent. If they could obtain the Sea God's blessing, they could become famous overnight.
Suddenly, everyone's gazes changed as they looked at the Sunset King. Their fear and apprehension transformed into madness and desire.
"Attack! Our adventurer team must get the Mutant Heart! Once we do, our name will shake the entire Sea God's Realm! "
"Mobilize our war weapons! We must kill the Sunset King before the other Guilds do!"
…
At this time, Lake Mountain City's various major powers began to take action. Previously, none of them had paid much attention to the Mythic monsters. After all, Mythic monsters' loot wasn't anything special. Even if a Mythic monster died, everyone could still snatch a few good items.
Now, however, things were different.
If they could obtain the Mutant Heart, they could receive the Sea God's blessing. Not only would the Sea God's blessing provide them with permanent benefits, but they'd also be invincible at sea.
"Vice Guild Leader, let's mobilize our forces as well. If every player in the city goes all-out against the Sunset King, not to mention the Tier 4 NPCs, the Sunset King won't last long, no matter how powerful it is," Lin Ya said hurriedly.
Before the Planar Passage had opened, Giant's Heart would've been the absolute ruler of the Sea God's Realm. However, now that the Planar Passage had opened, although Giant's Heart still occupied a large portion of the Sea God's Realm's resources, many of the Sea God's Realm's major powers had established partnerships with the outside world.
"Notify the Guild members around the city and have them gather as many war weapons as they can." White Autumn also understood the importance of this matter.
Giant's Heart might be invincible in the Sea God's Realm, but in a backwater city like the Sea God's Realm, the Guild's forces couldn't compare to the local powers. The crimson mist, in particular, had rendered teleportation ineffective. In other words, players couldn't teleport to the Sea God's Realm. They had to run to the Sea God's Realm.
Meanwhile, Silent Rain and Uneducated Bull could only watch anxiously.
Against a monster like the Sunset King, players couldn't even get close to it. If they tried, they'd die. They'd have to rely on tools and war weapons to deal with the Sunset King.
In the next moment, Lake Mountain City's various major powers pulled out their trump cards. They used Summoning Scrolls, Gnome Cannons, and other items to repel the Undying Spirits around them while launching attacks on the Sunset King. It was as if they had entered a battlefield.
The Sunset King wasn't easy to deal with, either. Not only did the Sunset King have a massive AOE, but the Undying Spirits it summoned were also organized like an army. They specifically targeted the Gnome Cannons and Siege Ballistas, forcing players to desperately defend themselves. However, against the Level 100-plus Undying Spirits, ordinary Tier 2 experts were nothing more than fodder.
After less than 20 minutes of fighting, over 100,000 players had died in Lake Mountain City. Several hundred Tier 2 NPC soldiers had also died. The blood-red mist continued to spread, and more Undying Spirits appeared. Even though more players and powers had arrived, they couldn't stop the bloody mist from spreading.
Although the various major powers' cannons and Skills focused on the Sunset King, there were simply too many Undying Spirits. As a result, the Sunset King's HP decreased rapidly.
"Vice Guild Leader, with so many Undying Spirits, it's becoming increasingly difficult to get close to it. I'm afraid this battle will be over before our Guild members and war weapons arrive," Lin Ya said anxiously as she watched the Sunset King's HP fall.
Although Giant's Heart was powerful, it wasn't a match for the war weapons and tools the local powers had gathered. Not to mention, the local powers were sparing no expense to open a path and stop the Undying Spirits.
White Autumn was just as anxious as Giant's Heart, but he had no choice. War weapons and tools weren't easy to gather, and he couldn't rely on teleportation.
"Vice Guild Leader White, I have a suggestion to kill this Sunset King," Shifeng suddenly said. "However, aside from the Mutated Heart the Sunset King dropped, everything else will belong to me. May I know if you're willing to cooperate with me, Vice Guild Leader Mo?"
"You really have a plan?" White Autumn asked.
Everyone stared at Xiang Shifeng in confusion, especially Lin Ya. She couldn't understand where Shifeng had found the confidence to kill the Sunset King and steal the Mutated Heart.
Plenty of Undying Spirits surrounded the Sunset King, and all of these Grand Lord ranked Undying Spirits could fly. A flying ship wouldn't be able to stop the Sunset King by itself. They'd need a large number of war weapons to protect it.
Moreover, a flying ship wasn't particularly useful against monsters. It was only useful against players. Against a group of monsters, however, a flying ship would be nothing more than cannon fodder.
"Of course," Shifeng said, nodding confidently.
"Deal! As long as I can get the Mutated Heart, I'm willing to give up everything else. " White Autumn wasn't interested in anything else. If Shifeng had a plan, he'd be happy to oblige. "May I know what plan you have, Elder Ye Feng?"
"Protect my flying ship with everything you have. Also, send eight experts to support the Magic Cannons. Leave the rest to me," Shifeng said.
Lin Ya rolled her eyes at Shifeng. If they had so many war weapons to protect the flying ship from the Undying Spirits, they wouldn't have to worry about the Sunset King.
"In addition, I'll need six peak experts to control the six Guardian Puppets protecting the flying ship," Shifeng said, smiling. He then took six Bronze Guardian Puppets from his Epic Spatial Bag.
