MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

“Ahahaha, finally I can let loose and kill.” The sharp laughter of Shadow reverberated across the land.

The Ice Serpent also raised its head and said, “I obey your will, my master.”

Floating Snow!

With the sparkling light of the Ice Serpent, a flurry of snow began to fall. The players of the Prosperous Era didn’t notice at first, but soon their melee fighters realized that the storm that was once harmless to them was having an effect.

What upset them even more was that their agility had slowed to a crawl. The warriors couldn’t even launch a charge, and the snowflakes clinging to them turned ice-cold and piercing.

To put it visually, their actions were as if they were in slow motion. They were all trying to charge at Li Yao with their weapons, but their movements were slower than a tortoise’s.

In contrast, Li Yao’s attacks were extremely sharp. Due to the enemy’s spread-out position and formation, Li Yao kept sniping with the Flame Crossbow. In just a moment, several frontline Silver Skeletons had made their way to the side of Li Yao.

The Arrow Tower beside him was also firing at full power with piercing arrows. Although they couldn’t instantly kill these tanks, the damage was enough to cause panic among them. As they wanted to dodge the arrows, their movement was restrained by the Floating Snow, making evasion impossible.

Pat, pat, pat…

The mages fired a second round of Ice Arrows, but due to the Ice Serpent, they had no effect.

“Give up using ice magic and switch to fire. Use the Fireball Technique as a group, blast him and his pet to smithereens.” The face of the commander of the Prosperous Era turned green.

The original plan was to use Ice magic to limit Li Yao’s movement and prevent him from evading the magic. Now it had completely turned around, with the spell of this hydra being incomprehensibly overpowered.

Floating Snow: Creates a small-scale snowfall, freezing the target, reducing the agility of the affected targets by 75%, and inflicting minor ice damage.

The current situation was that their attempt to restrict Li Yao was turned against themselves and it was them who were being restricted. The lack of agility made it impossible to launch a charge. Their dilemma was whether to keep charging at Li Yao or to turn back instantly. They found themselves in a predicament.

“Don’t hesitate, keep charging. Let’s see how long his spell lasts.” The commander of the Prosperous Era barked.

They continued their frenzied charge at Li Yao, while the mages began chanting the incantation for the Fireball Technique.

The incantation for the Fireball Technique was long and took around two seconds. Fire flared brightly around the mages.

“You morons, am I invisible? Dare to ignore me.”

When the Ice Serpent saw that the mages had switched to casting fireballs, it got angry.

Ice Breath!

The hydra, with a neck as long as a giant python, attacked the mages, who were in its range.

Whoosh, crack…

The hydra sprayed a breath of bone-chilling cold like a flamethrower, its head rotating to cover a wide area.

A group of mages was instantly frozen and shattered, killed instantly.

Actually, the mages were not standing very close to each other and had space to maneuver, but the hydra’s spell covered a large area. The mages absolutely had no chance to dodge it.

Boom, boom, boom…

Although many mages were instantly killed, about a dozen fireballs still hit the hydra, each causing over 400 points of damage.

The Shadow Serpent, like a real snake, didn’t cast its spell. Of course, its spell was not suitable for group combat; similar to a real snake, it continuously bit.

Li Yao had been trying to find the Unparalleled Beauty, but she had been hiding behind others, and the few healers were ceaselessly healing her to offset the damage from the Floating Snow.

“Everyone, converge on me. Let’s drown him.” The commander of the Prosperous Era was furious. “The hydra has no breath attack now. Hurry up.”

Up till now, many of Li Yao’s ranged Silver Skeletons had been killed. But this was not a result that the Prosperous Era could accept.

As Li Yao picked off the enemy, the Silver Skeletons on his flanks kept multiplying.

Even though they lost quite a few people, the commander of the Prosperous Era felt that he had figured out the attack mechanism of the hydra. He wanted to take advantage of the cooldown of the breath attack to mobilize everyone’s strength to kill the hydra.

With a total of 180,000 health points, the hydra was already terrifying for an individual player. But for a large team of hundreds, it was nothing.

Li Yao continued to snipe, ordering the surviving Hawkman Skeletons to continue pursuing the ranged players.

“Raise the shield.” Li Yao’s firepower was too fierce, the melee fighters hadn’t even reached him yet. Unparalleled Beauty couldn’t stand this situation any longer. If they kept on at this rate, even if they kill Li Yao in the end, it would not be a result that Prosperous Era would be willing to accept. Since she had agreed to help, she had decided to go all out.

Unparalleled Beauty got hit once, went into stealth, and then flashed.

Transplanting flowers and trees!

Her position instantly swapped with Li Yao’s.

“Kill him and it’s over.”

Following the command of the commander of the Prosperous Era, the dozen or so fireballs that were ready to launch roared towards Li Yao. Unparalleled Beauty was already amidst the melee, and the abilities of all the melee fighters turned on Li Yao.

Ha ha ha…

Seeing Li Yao’s health empty in an instant, the people of Prosperous Era let out a loud cheer and laughter.

Everyone relaxed, but then the commander of the Prosperous Era frowned, “Something’s wrong, why haven’t these summons disappeared?”

Then everyone looked at Li Yao’s corpse and saw Li Yao’s body slowly turning into black weapons, dissipating in the air.

“We’ve been tricked. That was a fake.”

They suddenly realized the key, but what trick was this, what kind of spell was that?

Li Yao emerged from behind the hydra with a grin on his face and said to Unparalleled Beauty, who was close at hand, “Hey girl, you’re good. You used the technique of Transplanting flowers and trees, and all I could do was to set up a decoy.”

“What kind of skill is that?”

Just as Li Yao was about to fire the Flame Crossbow, Unparalleled Beauty showed a flash of annoyance in her eyes, but still hurriedly motioned with both hands and started to use the Substitution Technique.

However, Li Yao’s trigger-pulling hand suddenly let go. He held the crossbow against her forehead and said, “It wouldn’t hurt to tell you, it’s my pet’s ability. Shadow of Darkness can copy any creature.”

“I admit you’re tough. I admit defeat this time.” Unparalleled Beauty gave up resisting.

It was clear from Li Yao’s performance that he was thoroughly familiar with her skill mechanism. When he was about to pull the trigger, just a slight effort could have caused the weapon to shoot.

She started to use the Substitution Technique, Li Yao let go of the trigger the moment she used it, it felt like it hadn’t fired…
