VRMMO: The Unrivaled

Chapter 825: First Come First Served

Translator: alyschu

The final boss was far, far stronger than anyone could have imagined. Not only did it have the Yin Yang Eyes, a skill with two drastically different offensive effects depending on which eye it decided to open, it possessed all the strengths of the previous eight bosses before it. To say that it was fearsome was a massive understatement. It was like the seven gourd babies of "Gourd Little King Kong" combining all their powers together to destroy their enemies, which was exactly what the Yin Yang Tiger was doing right now.

......

I led my generals—He Yi, Gui Guzi, Beiming Xue, High Fighting Spirits and Chaos Moon—and my allies—Lin Yixin, Purple Marquis, Stranger of Three Lifetimes and Ling Xueshang—behind the boss while protected by the Dragonlight Cavalry. That was where Vienna’s Sorrow and his remaining troops—there weren’t even a hundred of them left—were panicking as they tried to fend off the Chinese players and the boss at the same time.

"Have you thought about how you want to kill him?" Lin Yixin asked.

I looked at everyone around me and nodded. "Everyone here is a top-tier expert with all kinds of stats and skills, so don’t worry, I have at least ten thousand ways to toy with Vienna to death. Beiming, I want you to use Broken Feather Arrow to stop Vienna from being healed while Eve, Yiyi and me engage him in battle. Third Wheel, use your Ice Blast to CC the enemies. Xueshang and Beiming will be our ranged crowd-controllers as well. Li Chengfeng, block the flanks so that the fucker can’t escape this time. Best case scenario, we get him to drop the Tiger Soul Essence and his Immortal-grade spear. It is an incredible weapon, isn’t it?"

"Mn!" He Yi and Lin Yixin nodded in unison. They looked like they would obey any order I gave them.

Stranger of Three Lifetimes waved her scepter at me. "How many times do I have to tell you not to call me Third Wheel!?"

Ling Xueshang said, "It’s time. Work as one, people!"

"Yeah!"

......

Li Chengfeng and a dozen or so Dragonlight Cavalry left first to occupy an advantageous terrain. The rest of us advanced straight toward Vienna’s Sorrow.

It didn’t take long for the king of the north to notice us and sneer. He said, "I was wondering when you would show up. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is the strongest opponent I ever faced, but is catching people when they’re weak really the only tactic you know?"

I laughed. "Pot calling the kettle black much? Who was the fucker who tried to overwhelm us with sheer numbers during the War of Dawn City? Kill him!"

He Yi, Lin Yixin and I ran toward Vienna’s Sorrow at once in a triangular formation with me as the point. Lin Yixin and I both activated Great Earth Transformation. Vienna’s Sorrow was a peak expert, and even we could fumble if we decided to go easy on him.

"Eve, charge him!"

My beautiful guild leader obeyed my order without hesitation and Charged while the two of us quickened our footsteps. The reason I asked her to do this was to keep Vienna’s Sorrow busy and minimize his window to act as much as possible. Every second he wasted to dodge He Yi’s Charge was a second Lin Yixin and I could capitalize on.

Thud thud thud!

Just as I predicted, Vienna’s Sorrow moved to the back to avoid being hit by He Yi. During this time, Lin Yixin summoned a giant flaming sword of ice and brought it right down on his head, staggering him. At the same time, I raised my palm and fired an Ancient Seal at his exact location!

79718!

It was a terrible blow that deflated Vienna’s Sorrow like a balloon. He shouted, "Priests, heal me!" before slamming his spear into my Heaven-burning Armor in retaliation. But instead of retreating, I stayed close to his mount and stabbed him multiple times, leaving three bloody holes in his chest. Even better, Beiming Xue let loose a Broken Feather Arrow before the priests could heal Vienna, blocking all healing for the next 10 seconds.

Next, Stranger of Three Lifetimes cast an Ice Blast that dealt over 70k damage. While this was going on, Lin Yixin rushed toward Vienna with her dagger at the ready.

The King in the North turned green in that moment. He knew full well how skillful the Fruit Knife Goddess was. If he failed to nullify the attack he would die, it was as simple as that!

Left with no choice, Vienna’s Sorrow gritted his teeth and activated his invincibility skill!

"Retreat!"

I ordered without hesitation. He Yi and Lin Yixin backed away immediately so that he couldn’t force himself onto us and perhaps score a lucky kill while he was invincible.

......

I remained to stop Vienna from catching up to the girls, but despite a series of successful parries, my arm still shook from the impact, and every hit dealt at least 20k damage to me. Ice Stream Blade was simply too powerful. If my max HP wasn’t as high as it was, I would’ve been killed already.

Thud thud thud!

Vienna’s Sorrow tried to move past me and chase after Lin Yixin and He Yi, but I saw his movements perfectly and followed him like a shadow, blocking in front of him no matter how he moved. Besides that, I kept blocking and parrying repeatedly so as to minimize the damage I took as much as possible. Vienna’s Sorrow couldn’t kill me in a short time, but I could most certainly hold out until his invincibility skill ran its course. It was the Achilles\' heel he couldn’t make up for no matter what.

"Dammit!"

In the end, Vienna had no choice but to give up and withdraw to safety. I immediately chased after the bastard to prevent him from making another escape.

Rustle rustle...

I could see the golden light around his body fading away. Vienna would lose his invincibility any moment now.

Li Chengfeng appeared in front of Vienna’s Sorrow at the perfect moment and laughed. "I have come to fight you, Vienna!"

Swhoosh!

However, an assassin appeared out of nowhere and twisted his dagger into Vienna’s flesh, scoring three hits in a row and removing most of his HP!

Li Chengfeng yelled, "Fuck, don’t you dare Farewell Song!"

The assassin simply smiled at him. "First come first served, my friend!"

However, Vienna wasn\'t a lamb waiting for slaughter. He punched Farewell Song right in the chest!

18726!

The attack actually knocked the assassin back and stunned him for a short time.

It was at this moment Lin Yixin dashed over from the sides and hit Vienna’s Sorrow with a perfect Extreme Break + Ice Flame Slash combo. Her sword pierced right through the man’s chest!

"Ugh..."

In the end, the ruthless King in the North ultimately collapsed in the chaos of battle. His life was ended cleanly and quickly by the amazing Fruit Knife Goddess.

When the Tiger Soul Essence dropped, Lin Yixin caught it while it was still in midair and tossed it into my hands.

Having failed to score the final blow on Vienna, Farewell Song silently tossed a fluorescent powder to the ground and vanished into thin air. Only he knew when he would reappear and terrorize his victims. Assassins like him were fucking deadly because they never moved when the time wasn’t right, and when it was, you most likely would be dead at the end of their CC chain.

......

"What a shame his Immortal-grade spear didn’t drop..." Li Chengfeng licked his lips as he stared at Vienna’s corpse. "Worse, he died before I even got to touch him..."

I curled my lips. "Well, the dude’s corpse is right here, so feel free..."

Li Chengfeng responded with a tug of the lips of his own. "My taste ain’t that hardcore. C’mon, let’s move on to Candlelight Shadow already..."

"Wow, how did you guess that’s my next move?"

"But of course, he has two Tiger Soul Essences! And even if he didn’t, I would still go to kill him anyway!" Li Chengfeng admitted frankly as he laughed.

......

Meanwhile, the Yin Yang Tiger was still rampaging against the crowd and dealing over 100k damage per swipe of its flaming claws. Even crazier, its melee attacks had a splash effect, so the Candle Dragon’s frontliners surrounding it were losing HP like crazy. All of them had dropped to red health in less than half a minute.

Of course, the boss\'s Yang Eye was even deadlier. One eye beam, 1 HP for everyone who got hit. It was brutal to say the least.

Candlelight Shadow had been roaming around the boss and attacking only when the opportunity presented itself, so he barely took any damage, not to mention that he was able to avoid the Yang Eye beam with ease. His brain processing speed and skill were top-notch, and there were only a handful of players present who could rival him in these departments.

......

It was at this moment Gods of Destruction slowly shifted their way toward the boss. Dominating Heaven Blade was carrying his weapon and growling, "Candle Dragon’s busy fighting the boss, so this is our chance! Kill them!"

Dominating Warrior God, Dominating Knight God and the rest of his generals attacked the Viper Dragoons from the back without hesitation. Gods of Destruction and Candle Dragon had never had the best of relationships, and everyone wanted a piece of the pie. Of course they weren’t going to play coy.

Candlelight Shadow shot them a glance and sneered audibly. First, he launched a sword aura at Dominating Knight God and Dominating Warrior God, knocking them backward. Then, he raised his palm and hit them with a devastating Outer Flame that killed them on the spot. The poor bastards, despite having survived nine floors of Nine Tigers Soul Suppressing Tower, they ultimately weren’t strong enough to endure the Divine General Skill of Candlelight Shadow!

"Fuck!"

Dominating Heaven Blade’s eyes bulged as he felt the looming threat and shouted, "Archers!"

Tens of thousands of arrows took to the sky, forcing Candlelight Shadow to parry those that flew his way. He barked, "One hundred Viper Dragoons, take out these idiots now!"

Blue Sky Scar immediately turned around and clashed against Dominating Heaven Blade, Dominating Mage God and Dominating Archer God. Gods of Destruction might not be strong enough to wipe out Candle Dragon, but they certainly helped divert a lot of troops and attention.

Warsky Alliance was even fiercer than Gods of Destruction was. The moment the last Northern Alliance player was killed, Warsky immediately turned around and ran toward God’s Dance, stunning all the players around her with Ghost Banner. If God’s Dance hadn’t used Blink to run to safety in time, she would’ve been stunned already.

"Kill them!"

Lin Bing Dou Zhe and Laughing At The Heavens rushed the stunned players, and the backliners unleashed their magic and arrows. You couldn’t drink a potion or Guard while you were stunned, so it only took a moment for the Candle Dragon players to be wiped out without resistance.

God’s Dance glared angrily at them. "These shameless bastards! They didn’t hesitate to attack us! Everyone, change your attacks to guild attack mode and fuck them up! Kill Warsky first so that he can’t use his Divine General Skill again!"

While saying this, she waved her scepter and froze Warsky in place with ice spells. However...

......

I had Dark Pupils on, so I could see a shadow roaming around God’s Dance. I smiled. You’re dead, God’s Dance!
