Chapter 769: Fierce Critical Hit

The tentacles of Princess Aina, the wandering soul, lashed continuously against CuiCanDaoGuang, only forcing him to retreat slightly.

CuiCanDaoGuang, enduring the attacks from Princess Aina, pushed her back relentlessly.

Princess Aina’s tentacle attacks were physical in nature, but the divine warrior’s innate trait granted high resistance against physical attacks, making him fearless against her strikes.

ShuiSeYanTou and Lei Su approached from both sides, pinning Princess Aina tightly in place, immobilizing her completely.

CuiCanDaoGuang stood as solid as a rock, unmoving. As his health dropped, DaTouJie7, Nie Yan’s paladin LaiFus, and guardian knight HeiAnBeiGe began casting heals on him, maintaining his health at a high level.

The members of XiuLuoHell and MoQiTianXia couldn’t help but feel envious. Previously, they had sent many shield warriors forward, but without exception, all were flung away by Princess Aina’s tentacles. Comparing their shield warriors with CuiCanDaoGuang, they finally understood what it meant by the saying, “When goods are compared, they can be thrown away.” If they had a shield warrior like him, their entire guild’s equipment would definitely improve by at least two or three tiers.

With CuiCanDaoGuang and others holding the front line, the mages from the two guilds behind felt unprecedented safety. They unleashed their attacks, a dense barrage of magic spells streaking across the sky and landing on Princess Aina, causing a series of damage numbers to pop up.

Their damage was only around two or three hundred, even critical hits only dealt five or six hundred damage.

Tang Yao, Xie Yao, ShaBuSiDeHuaiDan, and other spellcasters began their assault. Spell after spell flew forth, boom after boom, Princess Aina’s head saw damage numbers of five or six thousand, seven or eight thousand, even exceeding ten thousand.

These huge numbers left the players from XiuLuoHell and MoQiTianXia dumbfounded. The mages felt ashamed. This was what was called embarrassing! Without comparison, they didn’t realize how big the gap was until now.

Nie Yan circled around to the back of Princess Aina, unleashing skills like Spinebreaker and Backstab.

Nie Yan’s attacks were even more terrifying, almost every strike exceeding ten thousand damage, and critical hits even reaching thirteen thousand.

After witnessing Nie Yan’s attacks, not only were the members from XiuLuoHell and MoQiTianXia stunned, but ShaBuSiDeHuaiDan, YuWangRanZhiQingChun, and others also screamed in shock.

“Boss, what kind of critical hit was that? Ten times the damage! That’s terrifying.”

“Thirteen thousand damage! That attack must have hurt so bad. How could such a high critical hit happen?”

They found it unbelievable and began asking Nie Yan in the party chat.

As their questions ended, Nie Yan landed two more critical hits, one dealing fifteen thousand damage and another twelve thousand.

What kind of critical hit rate is that!

Such frequent critical hits were scary! If that strike hit a player, even CuiCanDaoGuang might be instantly killed.

Seeing the eager and passionate looks from his teammates, Nie Yan chuckled and said, “It’s the critical effect of the Sword of Zaenard.”

“Zaenard’s Sword?” ShaBuSiDeHuaiDan’s gaze fell on Nie Yan’s right hand, puzzled. “We’ve seen the stats of Zaenard’s Sword before. Although it’s decent, it’s already outdated now. I was wondering why you haven’t switched to another sword yet.”

“I remember Zaenard’s Sword is an upgradable weapon, right?” XiaChongYuBing, who was usually meticulous, suddenly spoke up.

“Yeah, it’s an upgradable weapon.”

“Boss, let us see. How good are the stats of Zaenard’s Sword now?”

If he didn’t show them, they would keep asking. Nie Yan thought for a moment; these people here should be trustworthy. Although he wasn’t very familiar with MoJiu, HeiAnBeiGe, and others, they were members of HeiSeDiYu, so they should be reliable.

Nie Yan shared the stats of Zaenard’s Sword in the party chat.

After seeing the stats of Zaenard’s Sword, they all gasped in shock. This was the stats of Zaenard’s Sword? It was terrifying. They noticed one particular stat: a 35% chance to trigger tenfold critical damage. No wonder Nie Yan’s critical hits were so frightening, no wonder the critical rate was so high.

Besides the critical rate, other stats like +65 level ignore, over 5000 base attack, and so on, were breathtaking.

“Boss, that Devastation Strike is the skill you used to kill over a dozen members of the Angel Tyranny’s elite team and deliver a finishing blow to the necromancer Bodman, right?” ShaBuSiDeHuaiDan said with a dreamy expression.

“Yeah.” Nie Yan nodded.

“That Cataclysm is also very powerful.”

“And the Infernal Execute is way better than our Execute skills.” CuiCanDaoGuang said enviously.

Such a short sword could completely outclass any two-handed greatsword wielded by other players. So far, it was undoubtedly the number one sword in the world.

The powerful stats of Zaenard’s Sword deeply impressed them. This weapon now had stats equivalent to a level 170-180 legendary weapon. Even scarier, it could still be upgraded. No one could imagine how its stats would look after another upgrade.

After seeing the stats of Zaenard’s Sword, players like CuiCanDaoGuang and ShuiSeYanTou were deeply impressed, making it their dream goal. When would they also be able to acquire a divine-level weapon?

Nie Yan’s critical hits surpassing 100,000 stunned even the twenty top-tier players to such an extent. The shock experienced by the players from XiuLuoHell and MoQiTianXia behind them was beyond imagination.

“Who dealt that 100,000+ damage? This guy is too crazy!”

“I don’t know. Wow, was that a single-target forbidden spell from a mage?”

“That’s impossible! Although single-target forbidden spells can deal over 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of damage, they can’t be used that frequently!”

“That was a critical hit! Goodness gracious, what a high critical rate!”

A critical hit exceeding 100,000 left the players feeling dizzy. They originally thought that 10,000 damage was already terrifying, but 100,000+ damage was something only a superhuman could achieve.

“It was from KuangZeNieYan!”

“It’s really KuangZeNieYan!”

Some observant players noticed some clues from NieYan’s attack frequency and the changes in the flames of Zaenard’s Sword. The players looked at each other speechlessly, unable to find words to describe their current feelings. KuangZeNieYan was just too inhuman. This was an attack dealing over 100,000 damage. How much attack power did this guy have!

No wonder no one could break NieYan’s unbeaten record. Fighting against such an attack was pure masochism.

The output from so many mages couldn’t match NieYan alone!

With such high attack damage, Princess Aina’s aggro immediately shifted. She kept turning, trying to attack NieYan, her tentacles lashing out, attempting to ensnare him. However, NieYan was as slippery as an eel, easily evading Princess Aina’s attacks while maintaining his position behind her. With CuiCanDaoGuang and others interfering, Princess Aina had no chance of catching NieYan.

Gradually, Princess Aina’s health was reduced to about 20%. Enraged, she waved her staff, igniting a raging fire within a thirty-yard radius around her. The surroundings were engulfed in flames, and meteors rained down from the sky.

Boom after boom, sparks flew in all directions.

Tang Yao, Xie Yao, and others quickly used blink to dodge, avoiding being struck by fireballs.

Princess Aina’s magical attacks were strong, and NieYan dared not tank them. He used Dash Step to escape.

Everyone used their skills to flee, except CuiCanDaoGuang, who did not retreat. Instead, he let out a deep roar and activated War God’s Protection!

A golden giant appeared out of nowhere, slowly merging with CuiCanDaoGuang.

CuiCanDaoGuang stood within the flames, still tanking Princess Aina’s attacks, with damage numbers of eight or nine thousand popping up over his head. The healers behind him continuously cast heals on him, keeping him quite stable.

“Brother DaoGuang is awesome!” ShaBuSiDeHuaiDan exclaimed in the party chat.

It was probably only CuiCanDaoGuang who could tank the boss’s attacks under a level 150 mutated lord’s area magic attack.

Even NieYan couldn’t help but marvel. Although his magic resistance and defense were higher than CuiCanDaoGuang’s, the role of tanking monsters still belonged to CuiCanDaoGuang. Who else could be like a divine warrior, possessing a large number of passive skills that increased defense and health, with nearly a third of all skills being defensive?

“Brother DaoGuang, hold on!”

Although CuiCanDaoGuang tried his best to block Princess Aina’s path forward, he still couldn’t stop her. Princess Aina let out a sharp scream, continuously charging at CuiCanDaoGuang, wanting to chase and kill NieYan.

Princess Aina’s hate value towards NieYan was more than three times higher than towards others, so she only had eyes for NieYan, completely ignoring everyone else.

NieYan kept a safe distance, about one hundred yards away from Princess Aina.

Princess Aina uttered a series of incantations, waved her staff, and suddenly vanished into thin air.

CuiCanDaoGuang was tanking Princess Aina when suddenly she disappeared, causing his heart to tighten. Almost instinctively, he shouted, “NieYan, watch out!”

Princess Aina’s sudden disappearance stunned everyone. Dense magic spells flew through the sky, dissipating after reaching their maximum range.

“What’s going on?”

“Where did Princess Aina go?”

Everyone panicked.

CuiCanDaoGuang’s shout in the party chat reached NieYan’s ears. NieYan dared not linger in place and immediately used stealth to flee.

Just as he escaped about fifty yards, a strong sense of danger arose from the bottom of his heart. Not good! A tentacle appeared from nowhere, tightly binding NieYan’s right foot. As NieYan’s right hand tried to swing his sword to cut the tentacle, another tentacle firmly trapped his right wrist. He glanced at his skill bar, finding all skills unusable. It was over!
