MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

But Li Yao didn’t dare to relax in the slightest. As he saw the cast bar of the boss about to end, he quickly said, “Stick to the same strategy, Tanks pull your own monsters, but this time save all the controls for my command. Whoever I call out, releases control skills immediately.”

“Understood,” the team members shouted in unison.

“You will finally understand, the Evil Hoof Tribe is not something you can contend with.”

With the Centaur High Priest’s words, four more Treants sprang to life again.

And the Tanks promptly drew the attention of the monsters they were assigned to.

“Everyone, focus fire and wipe out the Treants,” Li Yao instructed.

As soon as the Nature Treants appeared, a Spring Technique was released on the boss and its health started to gradually recover.

Then it started to cast again, to which Li Yao said: “Sister Li, Spell Counter.”

Sister Li immediately released the Spell Counter, and the spell the Nature Treant was trying to cast was interrupted instantly.

Meanwhile, the boss cast Poison Fog again, which significantly affected the output of the team.

The Balance Treants also started to cast lightning, a spell that covers a large area, threatening more than half of the platform. Unless the team members planned to stop outputting, they would not be able to escape from the range of the spell.

“All healers, apply Shields on yourself, replenish health, and keep health stable. Try to keep everyone’s health above half,” Li Yao knew that the critical moment had arrived.

Now, they were facing an important checkpoint. If it was handled improperly, all their previous efforts would have been in vain.

The most direct indicator was the boss’s health. Because the Nature Treant kept healing the High Priest, Li Yao could perfectly command his team members to interrupt the spells. However, most of the healing spells in Nature Magic are instant casts, and the ones with incantations are very short.

Therefore, even though they were constantly interrupting, they were only interrupting the main healing spell, the instant healing spells could not and would not be interrupted.

Hence, the Starfire team needed to kill the Treants as fast as they could, otherwise all their previous output would have been wasted. If it took too long, even if they killed the Treants, the boss’s health would be full.

They would return to square one and fall into a loop. To kill this boss, they had to ensure that the damage inflicted when there were no Healing Treants exceeded the amount of healing. Only this way can they bring down the boss.

But the problem was the Balance Treant. Though its lightning spell could be interrupted, it had no cooldown period, making interruption ineffective.

In such circumstances, everyone’s health was constantly decreasing, placing a huge burden on the healers.

The most problematic thing was, did the High Priest just summon some Treants and do nothing? That was impossible.

He was still releasing skills one by one, Nightmare Ejection and Poison Fog, both causing significant damage. If one’s health was very low, it would be easy to be killed in one hit.

That was the real reason why Li Yao wanted the healers to keep everyone’s health above half if possible. This would allow some margin for error, otherwise they would lose members easily.

“Damn, this is so terrifying,” someone said.

When the Healing Treant fell, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

“That regenerative power is insane,” said Daimong.

The others also checked the boss’s health, they gasped, because the boss’s health had already recovered to 68%.

“Dammit, is this game still playable? If our burst isn’t strong enough, or we didn’t deal with Healing Treant well, will the boss be fully healed?”

Guardian Angel was so shocked that he swallowed his saliva. This boss was simply out of line.

“We lost one person, it won’t impact us too much, resurrect them. Try not to die anymore, we are out of resurrection spells, Jin Jin’s can only be used for Main Tanks and Healers,” Li Yao said.

“My bad, my bad,” the resurrected rookie, Mu Zi, was blushing. He was so fired up while attacking just now that he accidentally got hit by a Nightmare Ball.

After the Nightmare Ball was focused, he appeared, and landed directly in the Poison Fog, falling right away.

“Be careful next time.” Li Yao led the team to the side of the Balance Treant and said, “Continue.”

The team then started to focus fire on the Balance Treant, and the cycle from the beginning started again.

With the Balance Treant down, the remaining two were killed simultaneously.

“The most dangerous period is finally over. That was a close call.”

When all the Treants fell, the members of Starfire once again focused on attacking the boss.

After multiple waves of attacking one boss, now that they were facing one boss, even if it was a powerful one, they felt much lighter.

“Thank God the boss didn’t use Life Balance…” Angel guarded said.

Li Yao said nonchalantly: “That skill should only be used when there’s only one Treant.”

Daimong also rolled her eyes at him, saying: “You bastard, you’ve been making blind predictions. If the boss uses that skill the moment he summons a Treant, combined with Healing Treant, it would be utterly unsolvable.”

The Unparalleled Demoness said: “This boss requires high output, other teams trying to beat this boss would struggle.”

Happiness is a disease said: “I saw there are Treants for exchange in the shop as well, our guild master exchanged a few, others can certainly do so as well.”

Sister Li said: “A Treant for three thousand points, do you think you can just use it freely? Who knows what other tricks the boss could have up his sleeve? We have three pets of our Guild Master, which boosted our output by the equivalent of a small squad. That’s already akin to summoning a Treant.”

Unparalleled Demoness also said: “There’s no need to use it now, after all, a summoned Treant will only stay for five minutes. That’s hardly enough. What I mean is, other teams are probably going to be stuck in a loop of unlocking the dungeon, then grinding for Crystal Cores. It will definitely be harder for them.”

The team members suddenly realized, other teams didn’t have as many tricks up their sleeve as Li Yao. When the time comes, a lot of Crystal Cores would be wasted. They would then have to grind for them again, wasting a lot of time.

Even though they were facing only one boss, the Starfire Guild’s dungeon raiding team was still facing constant losses. Regarding the resurrection spells that could only be used every twenty minutes, they could only slightly alleviate the issue of losing members constantly.

In contrast, the boss’s health finally dropped below 25%. At this point, it once again summoned a Treant, which Starfire managed to tackle perilously.

After another period of output, the boss’s health was only left with 20%, victory seemed within reach…
