Chapter 1545: The Undead Mage

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Such extravagant delaying tactics could only be employed by a player.

After all, after you died, you could resurrect. Also, the equipment that you drop would be picked up by your brothers behind you. In this sort of hot-blooded moment, the players happily rushed off to the front to die.

Heigan Lavender used a frightfully powerful Plague Ignition. From a visual point of view, he looked like he was throwing away a lot of poison bottles, then breaking them in mid-air. From this, there was an ignition of a massive Plague Musk Cloud. Players only had to come in contact with the Musk Cloud and they would continue to lose HP.

Aside from this, there were various types of debuffs, so they needed to carefully see which bottles were thrown.

“I can’t block them; you’ll have to be careful,” Sky Moon warned. Soon enough, he ran out of people to send, and in just a few short minutes, he had lost over a thousand people on his side.

Lu Li needed to re-evaluate Heigan Lavender’s strength. Perhaps it was because of the event, but this unassuming Undead Mage was actually this strong.

“The Boss is going to come. Everyone, get ready for battle!” Lu Li cried in a loud voice.

“Line up!” Tirion Fordring commanded as he mounted his warhorse. The Auras at the Paladins’ feet shimmered with various colours. Even players were also able to enjoy the benefits. Lu Li saw his stats going rising – defense, movement speed, attack strength and so on.

“Why didn’t you give it to us before?” Lu Li complained annoyedly in his heart.

He promptly commanded a group to go and finish up taking care of the monsters left over in the cities and towns. Although some of them were fierce, they really couldn’t be compared to the Undead mages who had come over so quickly. Also, they needed to clear up these monsters to have a decisive battle.

Those twisted Undead mages could be dealt with by the Paladins and Dwarves for now.

Heigan Lavender was surrounded by the Plague Musk Cloud. Originally, this Musk Cloud was not effective against the Paladins at all; it simply evaporated when the Paladins got near. However, the Plague Musk Cloud that the Boss had conjured this time didn’t look to be that similar.

For the first time, the Paladins had a difficult on their faces.

This may have had the most direct damage to the Paladins, being even more effective than physical damage. The Warhammer dwarfs were like this too. Their movements, which originally full of power, began to slow down.

They basically had no way to get close to the Undead mages.

“Priests, Disperse!” Regardless of whether or not it was useful, Lu Li still wanted to use to any method available to achieve his goal.

In the case that the Boss got rid of the Paladins and Dwarves, it would be up to the players to finish him, no matter how long it took.

“Follow me!” Her Tears shouted, bringing his own players to charge at the Boss. This suicidal charge looked rather tragic, but in a heroic way.

The Dispels of the Priests, forced the Paladins to spread out inside. These Dispel skills were able to quickly deal with the magic, but weren’t all that effective against poison damage from the Plague. However, they still managed to disperse the dense fog of the Plague. At the very least, they had improved the field of vision for the other players.

The Plague Fog was gradually dispersed, until it had completely dissipated into thin air.

The Ranged players were then sent out to attack in great numbers. At that time, the skies were almost completely covered by the many various kinds of splendid skills and arrows.

Heigan Lavender had been a little stunned by the long-distance magic attacks. As the saying went, many ants could eat up an elephant, which described this situation. With so many skills thrown upon his body, his health had dropped until only a sliver was left.

Spell Disruption!

A web of magic had been cast and the Emblems’ magic had been drawn into a trap.

The effect of this magic was that it reduced the speed of casting a spell by 300%. If it originally took 1 second to cast a magic spell, it would now take 3 seconds. As such, the power of magic in this battle was instantly hamstrung.

However, there was a simple workaround to this problem.

The players who had fallen in this trap just needed to withdraw to recover. In any case, Lu Li had brought along over 10 000 players, a few thousand of which were Magic-based. Also, the area that Heigan Lavender’s magic covered didn’t affect any more than a few hundred people.

Crippling Plague!

The skill’s area-of-effect increased and over 1000 people had been caught in the trap.

One skill trapped over a hundred people, and another skill trapped over 1000 people.

Even Lu Li felt like he was dreaming; his view had been changed.

He finally knew why this time’s Spreading Plague event was mainly for NPCs. This event emphasised that the power of these characters was simply beyond the power of normal contenders.

He couldn’t help but begin to sympathise with those clubs who had attempted to kill the Boss.

They probably were as astonished as Lu Li was now. The difference was that after their astonishment, they may have ushered in the death of the whole team, but Lu Li wasn’t like that. His allies were extremely powerful.

From those beside him who had charged, there was the Silver Hand, who were renewing their strength after the failed initial attack.

The players weren’t wounded or killed for nothing!

Looking at the Warhammer Dwarves again, they were also following right behind.

“**&…%!”

Suddenly, there was cursing on the battlefield.

All the bones on the ground had been pulled away by some mysterious force. They assembled at the feet of Boss Heigan Lavender and formed into Shields of Bones.

These Shields of Bones definitely acted as an obstacle against the Paladins’ Charge. Lu Li immediately

directed everyone to attack them.

Evidently, the threat of the players to the Boss was incomparable to that of the Paladins. Mages were usually like this; it was only when they were a safe distance away that they could do the most damage. As soon as someone powerful attacked them, it would be a terrible disaster.

This time, Lu Li and his team’s usefulness really had its limits.

They had no way to shatter these Shields of Bones before the Paladins arrived. However, the Warhammer Dwarves came in swinging, throwing away their Battle Axes and drawing out an even smaller axe from their backs. After this, they hurled them with great force at the Shields of Bones.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Despite being so small, the axes seemed to contain some frightful power. The Shields of Bones were smashed into dust.

The Paladins raised their hammers, charging right through the rising cloud of debris and into the Boss’ body.

This was Heigan Lavender’s first sign of defeat. This Undead mage, who was so powerful that he made others feel like there was no way to be on par with him, was actually not dissimilar to any ordinary Mage when an enemy got close to them.

However, he was still a powerful Undead mage. His death didn’t mean that he had lost his powers from when he was alive.

An Arcane shield was protecting his body. It was ironic –Heigan Lavender had looked down upon Arcane magic, but at a critical time, he had to call on it to survive.
