The combat effectiveness of the Barbarian Berserkers still needed to be verified in battle, but they were definitely no worse than human warriors. The Bullman Tribe had obtained six high-level Barbarian Berserkers before other guilds, leaving other guilds envious.
It was said that as soon as the new race and class of the Barbarian Berserker became available, tens of thousands of players rushed to switch classes. These players were mostly those who had been struggling or had low levels. Most of the players who wanted to switch to Barbarian Berserker were still hesitating.
Shortly after Nie Yan and his team departed from Okren City, they received word that the Demihuman Angud had emerged in the southern outskirts of the city. Over two hundred players from the Bullman Tribe had tragically crossed paths with him and were slain.
“Report the exact location!”
“Coordinates 237.285.238.”
Kingship, Sun, and others were responsible for reconnaissance at the perimeter and urgently warned in the party chat, “Emergency warning! Demihuman Angud is approaching!”
Nie Yan glanced around. They were on an open field about 50×50 yards in size, with sparse, low shrubs around, offering a relatively wide field of vision.
“Scatter in teams, keep spacing, and Demihuman Angud will approach from the south!”
“Boss, we’ve spotted him!” Several rogues urgently shouted in the party chat.
“Are the traps ready?”
“Ready! Maximum intensity traps!”
Nie Yan looked southward. A figure was approaching, undoubtedly Demihuman Angud!
“Stay back, he’ll come!” Nie Yan said in the party chat. He watched as Demihuman Angud leaped high, swung his massive tail, and landed with a thunderous crash.
“Drift has been taken out.”
Three system notifications indicated that three rogues had been chased and killed by Demihuman Angud because they couldn’t escape in time.
After killing the three rogues, Demihuman Angud cast a sinister gaze toward Nie Yan, locked onto him, and charged forward, frequently leaping into the air and landing heavily, shaking the ground with a sensation of the sky collapsing.
“Boss, watch out, he’s coming!”
Nie Yan watched Demihuman Angud charging toward him, narrowing his eyes. Finally, they met again!
As Demihuman Angud approached, the entire elite team became tense and busy.
“Watercolor, Ray, summon your pets to block him! His charge speed is too fast; Nie Yan will be instantly killed!” CuiLan Daoguang shouted in the party chat.
“Got it!”
Quickly, Watercolor Yantou, Ray, and Kill-Proof Badguy successively summoned their pets, including a giant white bear and a mammoth with sharp tusks, all large-sized pets. Under their control, these pets charged toward Demihuman Angud.
Seeing several pets coming from the side, Nie Yan leaped aside to evade Demihuman Angud’s charge.
The giant white bear intercepted from the side, swinging its massive paw down at Demihuman Angud.
“Nice move!”
“Good attack angle!”
Just as the white bear was about to strike Demihuman Angud, the latter suddenly stepped forward and smashed his massive tail hard against the bear’s neck. The bear’s huge body flew backward, soaring over ten yards into the air before crashing down.
“Damn, this guy is too strong!”
“Quick, get out of the way!”
Under the bear were a group of mages who immediately used blink spells to escape. With a loud crash, the bear hit the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
“The white bear is dead!”
Soon, not only the white bear but also the mammoths and other large pets blocking Demihuman Angud’s path were knocked aside one by one. No one could stop his advance.
They didn’t expect these pets to actually stop Demihuman Angud. Their goal was achieved as his speed had been reduced!
Demihuman Angud chanted a spell, and dozens of tall, shield-wielding golden skeletons emerged from the ground. Upon appearing, they charged at the players on both sides, roaring fiercely.
Streams of magic flew into the sky, bombarding the golden skeletons.
“They’re level 180 elites!”
“Don’t panic!”
“Warriors, pull aggro!”
The sudden appearance of the golden skeletons did not cause chaos in the team. They calmly and orderly assigned tasks.
“There’ll be bone soup tonight.”
“If you can stomach it.”
Everyone joked around as each shield warrior engaged a golden skeleton, and the mages’ magical attacks never ceased.
Demihuman Angud opened his right hand, palm upward, and a red fireball floated above it, burning fiercely. At this moment, black flames erupted all over Demihuman Angud’s body.
In ancient legends, demons came from the distant earth’s core, formed from molten lava, and were natural masters of fire, capable of consuming everything with their flames.
“Foolish humans, you have angered me! I smell the scent of the Deathbringer Blade. Hand it over immediately, or I will reduce your souls to ashes in my flames!” Demihuman Angud roared, his body engulfed in flames. With a sweep of his right hand, a blazing fireball shot toward Nie Yan.
A wave of dark force surged toward Nie Yan, making his body slightly stiff.
It was the fear effect!
However, compared to last time, it was much better. He could still move his body with difficulty.
After the previous incident, Nie Yan had gained experience. He absolutely could not look into Demihuman Angud’s eyes, or the fear effect would intensify several times, paralyzing him completely.
Nie Yan used his peripheral vision to determine the fireball’s trajectory, then dashed sideways with a Quickstep.
With a deafening boom, the fireball exploded on the ground, like a bomb, its power astonishing. Several warriors nearby couldn’t dodge in time and were thrown away by the shockwave.
Nie Yan dashed over a hundred yards away while urgently shouting in the party chat, “I’m going to summon War God Kro. Cover me; it might take about ten seconds.”
“Leave it to us. Even if we all die, we’ll hold him back!” CuiLan Daoguang said in the party chat, charging toward Demihuman Angud with several warriors.
Nie Yan glanced ahead. Between him and Demihuman Angud was a dense array of traps, which should have some effect.
Just as Nie Yan was about to crush the Kro Stone, several warnings sounded in the party chat: “Boss Nie, we’ve spotted people from Angel Dominion!”
“They’re Angel Dominion rogues!”
“Nie Boss, several thousand Angel Dominion players are heading this way!”
Hearing these reports, Nie Yan furrowed his brow. As he had estimated, Angel Dominion wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
Suddenly, Nie Yan sensed something unusual in his surroundings and smirked coldly. Their stealth ability was pretty good, managing to sneak within thirty yards!
True Sight!
Nie Yan activated True Sight, his pupils instantly turning blood red. He scanned the surroundings and locked onto three rogues stealthily approaching him.
As he was about to strike, he noticed several figures approaching those three rogues. With a series of pokes, three streaks of blood splashed out. Almost instantly, these three Angel Dominion rogues were eliminated. Sun, Kingship, and Xiaorong Buzhiwei emerged one after another.
Kingship smiled faintly and said, “Focus on your task. Leave these Angel Dominion scum to us.”
Many other rogues tried to sneak closer to Nie Yan but were quickly eliminated by Kingship and others.
Several corpses lay on the ground.
Due to the interruption, Nie Yan had already missed the best timing to crush the Kro Stone. Looking ahead, Demihuman Angud had knocked aside six Bullman Tribe warriors and charged toward Nie Yan.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Demihuman Angud triggered the Thunder Totems on the ground, causing lightning to dance across the battlefield. However, these lightning bolts still failed to harm Demihuman Angud.
“Daoguang, let’s block him together!” Watercolor Yantou charged from the side.
CuiLan Daoguang roared fiercely, activating War God’s Protection. His muscles bulged, becoming abnormally strong, like a beast.
After switching to the Barbarian Berserker class, the War God’s Protection skill had become even more powerful.
“Come on, you monster!” CuiLan Daoguang roared, clashing his large shield against Demihuman Angud.
Demihuman Angud swung a palm, and CuiLan Daoguang raised his shield to block. With a dull thud, CuiLan Daoguang retreated several steps, a damage value of 37,000 floating above his head, leaving him with only 12,000 health remaining.
Nie Yan quickly instructed Guardian Angel Kalenna to cast Minor Healing on CuiLan Daoguang, and Qidai Ge7’s healing followed closely, instantly restoring CuiLan Daoguang’s health.
“Just like that! Come again!” CuiLan Daoguang coldly shouted and charged forward again.
Taking this opportunity, Nie Yan crushed the Kro Stone. The Kro Stone exploded violently, turning into powder. He felt something, probably War God Kro confirming his location. He couldn’t help but pray in his heart, War God Kro, hurry up and come.
Seeing that his first attack failed to kill CuiLan Daoguang, who charged forward again, Demihuman Angud became furious. Flames surged from his arm as he struck again.
CuiLan Daoguang accidentally caught a glimpse of Demihuman Angud’s eyes. Black pupils, deep gaze, as if they would swallow a person whole.
No good, he couldn’t move anymore!
CuiLan Daoguang’s heart sank in panic. He couldn’t move at all, even lifting his shield was extremely difficult. He gritted his teeth, trying to raise his shield to block Demihuman Angud’s attack, but the shield in his hand felt like it weighed a thousand pounds.
It was too late!
Demihuman Angud punched CuiLan Daoguang, sending him flying.
System: Player CuiLan Daoguang has died!
“Damn it!” Watercolor Yantou wanted to rescue but was too late. As he was about to swing his sword at Demihuman Angud, his greatsword suddenly froze mid-air. His chest was heavily struck, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
System: Player Watercolor Yantou has died!
