“Shameful creatures who dare to provoke me shall receive a baptism of flame!”

Llamasden spat out a continuous burst of flames from its mouth that swept across the entire party from left to right.

Anyone who touched the Melting Ray would certainly die.

This was merely the beginning!

After putting themselves through the trials of Fire Beast Dungeon, it was impossible for the slow moving speed of the Melting Ray to threaten this party anymore.

They dodged the Melting Ray easily. The main tank Warrior in Li Yi’s guild with the highest DEF and whose GS had reached 330 charged forward quickly. He used Taunt and Shield Bash to pull its Aggro steadily and drew Llamasden’s “frontal face” towards the opposite side of the party.

If he did not pull Llamasden’s face towards the opposite direction, it would randomly release flames that would bounce chaotically and blast the entire party. Pulling its face in the opposite direction was the only way to prevent this.

The HP of the main tank Warrior went up and down. Although the white light on his body flashed continuously and his HP was constantly restored, it could still be seen that the tanking was taking a toll on him.

Hell-level Hard Mode was known as a player’s nightmare. The ATK of bosses were excessively high and the slightest mistake made by the MT and healer would immediately result in a Total Party Wipe.

The main tank Warrior had excellent control. When he saw that the boss had discharged skills with high damage, he used his shield as a wall at once. His Blocks were also used perfectly as he could successfully reduce a considerable amount of deadly damage each time.

“Drink the Fury Potion and deal DPS with all your strength.”

When he saw the main tank was pulling Aggro steadily, Li Yi sighed in relief from the bottom of his heart and gave his second order immediately.

On the other hand, the Wutong sisters were standing back to back with their shoulders pressed against each other’s while they pulled the Aggros of the two Elite Little Fire Dwarf Monsters steadily. Meanwhile, Moonlight Ocean and Not-a-confused-brother who were in charge of interrupting the enemy’s skill did not disappoint Li Yi either. They managed to catch it each time before the skill was released and interrupted it successfully!

It was also fortunate that today was a rest day. Since the young pair of Wutong sisters had a day off, only then was Li Yi reassured enough to let them undertake such an important task…

They did not have any worries about future consequences. According to the others, dealing with this with all of their strength was their duty to carry out.

Once he had drank the Fury Potion, his Crit Rate and his damage value skyrocketed immediately.

“Haha, the Hell-level boss is just so-so. Everyone, double your efforts and take it down in one go!”

“Let’s do this!”

The party’s morale increased. Those who had potions drank them while scrolls were used instead by those who did not have potions to boost their DPS.

Llamasden’s head swayed from left to right suddenly. Li Yi roared immediately and cast Mislead on the main tank before he shot a few arrows swiftly.

“The three Explosive Thieves in front should pay more attention. The boss’s Aggro has shifted so be careful of an OT!”

The three Explosive Thieves who were standing behind Llamasden, dealing damage stopped immediately and only resumed their task once again when the main tank had stabilized the enemy’s Aggro.

“Everyone, put in more effort. We’ve almost cleared the first stage!”

Chen Yang stood among the group of players in the healer class and stretched his neck out while yelling encouragement.

Although the Fire Spirit Pet’s PK was not that impressive, it was still an efficient helper when fighting the boss. Each of its punches could produce great damage that reached over 260. Additionally, its high frequency also allowed Fatty’s DPS to always be among the first five ranks.

Llamasden’s first stage was not particularly difficult. The ones who were tested were the main tank and healers but as long as neither of these two classes made any mistakes, Llamasden was not a threat towards the other classes.

Llamasden’s HP decreased to 6,250,000. Intense bright red flames shrouded its head completely as it began to shift into the second stage.

“Drip! Drip!”

Red liquid trickled down Llamasden’s head continuously. It dripped on the ground and released a cloud of black smoke.

“Feel the Fire Devil’s wrath!”

Llamasden howled and spat a huge pool of liquid towards the party.

“Shift towards the left!”

Li Yi roared without any delay.

All of the party members moved towards the left in a unified manner to dodge the red liquid that Llamasden spat out.

Blazing flames burned on the patch that was splashed with a large amount of the liquid. The flames lasted more than ten seconds.

“Turn back to the right!”

Before the party members had even stood steadily, Li Yi stretched his neck out and yelled again.

Llamasden spat out more red liquid again but all of the party members had already returned to their initial position long ago.

All of those touched by the red liquid met fatal ends as the healers could not keep up with the damage inflicted. If they moved erratically when Llamasden was spitting this red liquid repeatedly, they would certainly suffer a Total Party Wipe.

The mutual understanding between the party members was pretty good as none of them appeared rattled!

Llamasden spat the red liquid a few more times but none of the party members suffered any casualties.

“My master Ivrit will definitely rule over this world. I’ll use the fiery flames to cleanse all of you, inferior races!”

Llamasden retreated to the center of the furnace as his head spun frenziedly. Countless amounts of red liquid sputtered everywhere. It was a Meteor Fire Shower!

Since the area of the furnace was limited, it was completely impossible for them to evade this move which simply made it a certain hit skill.

Li Yi shouted, “Protect the healers!”

All of the party’s DPS members moved in front of the healers quickly and used their bodies to form a human shield that blocked the sputtering red liquid.

“Shh– Shh–”

Their bodies were engulfed in flames upon contact with the red liquid. As their HP decreased rapidly, the healers from behind frantically healed them. They flung Holy Light Blessings, Light of Healing, and Refreshing Water on the bodies of the people who were on fire.

The flames on the bodies of the people who had caught fire dispersed quickly. At his moment, the red liquid on the surface of Llamasden’s head diminished. Li Yi used Mislead on the main tank before the main tank charged forward and made chopping motions while moving.

When fighting Llamasden’s second stage, the main tank could definitely not stand on one spot, otherwise, a Sea of Fire would form in the end when more of the red liquid trickled down. One’s HP would decrease by half just by stepping on it for one second. It was extremely easy for this tank mechanic to wipe the party if the tank isn’t skilled enough to manage movements.

The main tank Warrior was still exerting an even amount of strength. He fought and moved simultaneously while occasionally looking out for the red liquid below his feet. He led Llamasden around in circles slowly.

The DPS dealt damage while the healers healed…

Llamasden’s HP continued to decrease while the intervals between the times when he spat out large amounts of red liquid became faster as well.

The entire party ran. There were no problems when they only did it once or twice but once the frequency increased, some people made mistakes then.

Wizard Wang Wang and one of the Archers ran slightly slower and stepped on the red liquid.

Wang Wang reacted immediately and hurried off quickly. However, the archer was not that fortunate. He had just run a few steps before he suffered an instant kill because of the rising flames.

“F*ck!” Chen Yang cursed loudly.

Li Yi yelled, “Don’t panic, keep maintaining this. It doesn’t matter if one person dies.”

The party members became even more careful.

“Splash–”

Another large amount of red liquid gushed over. However, it was worse this time because three people were enveloped by it and ended up suffering instant death on the spot…

Llamasden’s mad attacks were finally over. The main tank took his position before the party resumed dealing damage again.

The deaths of the four DPS extremely vexed Li Yi. However, now was not the time to reproach others. They still had a chance of beating it as long as no one else in the party made any more mistakes.

After an hour, the flames on the surface of Llamasden’s head subsided and fell on the ground in the center before they entered the third stage officially.

This segment tested the endurance of all of the guild members. This also included the group of people who were pulling the Aggro of the Elite Fire Dwarfs who had to accept this test at the same time as well.

“Hehehehe, come play a game… I’ll call this the Game of Death, hehehehe…”

Llamasden’s completely hollow eye sockets suddenly shot out a ray of black light before it disappeared in a flash.

“Ding!”

The states of all of the party members changed and turned into a red name Attackable State while Llamasden’s head turned into a green name Non-Attackable state.

“Don’t attack randomly. Pay attention to the boss’s Defect!”

If someone released a burst of random attacks now, Llamasden would not even need to do anything before that party would be decimated when that person attacked their own members.

Both of Chen Yang’s eyes were bloodshot when he ran towards Llamasden’s head that was in the center.

“Attack Tall and Mighty, quickly!” commanded Li Yi.

Chen Yang was struck by numerous attacks that caused an instant kill there and then.

“F*ck, it actually attached itself to my body. That was truly an insult to a handsome man.”

Chen Yang crawled up from the ground as both of his scarlet eyes restored to normal.

Next, both of Li Yi’s eyes reddened. He ran towards the head in the center while being controlled by Llamasden.

If the person who was being controlled was dragged into Llamasden’s head, the head would explode. It would cover the entire area and basically result in an instant Total Party Wipe.

When Li Yi had run halfway there, he was successfully killed by his party members and restored to normal.

System Notification: [You have successfully broken away from Llamasden’s mind control and obtained the Fully Aware achievement.]

F*ck, Li Yi did not have any time to look at things like this now. He was unbelievably anxious because he was worried that someone else would run into the head.

Five people had been saved consecutively before Llamasden’s head turned into the red Attackable State.

The difficulty of this stage lay in the speed of saving one’s fellow party members and not attacking randomly. Everyone that was currently having the red name had a three-times damage Attackable State. If the person that they attacked was not someone who was being controlled, they were basically setting the next person up.

Llamasden’s HP decreased to a certain degree before the second round of mind control arrived.

Zimu Wutong’s eyes turned red as she ran towards the head in the middle. Wizard Wang Wang’s eyes turned red as well as he ran towards the head in the center…

If it Defected two people at once, its OP stage had arrived!

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A series of violent shots managed to save both of them successfully. The eyes of two other people reddened immediately after that. Li Yi ordered everyone to stop attacking and leave him and Qing Pingle to drop one of them each.

This stage was very risky because once they had fought until Llamasden’s HP had reduced to half, it would abandon its previous targets and switch to a different person. If they were not paying attention and fought everyone else viciously at once, the people who were killed would be their own party members.

Thanks to Li Yi’s proper guidance, Llamasden’s Defect failed again and it turned back into a red name Attackable State.

[360… 352… 300… 293…]

Llamasden’s Defect tricks became more and more OP. There were a few times when it nearly caused Li Yi’s heart to beat hurriedly in an anxious manner.

He was most worried about the third stage out of Llamasden’s four stages. The party members who did not deal enough DPS became brainless and a Total Party Wipe would result from the slightest error.

As long as they cleared the third stage safely, Li Yi did not care at all about the fourth stage that was known as the nightmare of all the guilds. He was more than 90% sure that they could clear it!

‘Persevere. Mistakes must not happen during the third stage!’

When Llamasden’s HP decreased below 2,000,000, Li Yi’s heart rose to his throat. The number of people who had defected had increased to three people in one time. It would shift every time 10% of its HP was knocked off. Li Yi and Qing Pingle were busy but could still handle it while Wizard Wang Wang who was handling the other one was slightly strained now.

“Shh–”

Wizard Wang Wang struck his Ice Hammer against the body of the party member who had defected but it was unfortunate. Because at this time, Llamasden had already shifted his target to someone else. Magnificent numbers that stated [-97] floated out of the top of his pitiful party member’s head before he suffered an instant kill.

“Oh no…”

When Li Yi saw the identity of his fallen party member clearly, he was immediately dumbfounded.

The fallen party member was coincidentally, the main tank Warrior who was in charge of resisting the boss!

“F*ck me…”
