Nearby players, in their soul forms, witnessed all of Su Yu’s actions.
At this point, it all clicked for them:
“I finally understand what Nemesis is trying to do!”
“I get it too! Our spawn point has to be within 20 meters of Nemesis. As long as
Nemesis finds a way to get close to the BOSS, we can respawn next to the BOSS!”
“Yes! We’ll be like a divine force descending from the heavens, instantly focusing our attacks to annihilate the BOSS!”
“This is a stroke of genius! No wonder he’s the best player in the game.”
“From now on, I only recognize Nemesis in this game!”
The players’ praises were endless.
Coming back to Su Yu.
After he posted the task, he gave a few reminders about the action in the chat room.
Then he sprinted towards where [John the Baptizer] was located.
A few dashes later, he reached the edge of [The Curtain of Shadow].
Upon leaving the curtain, Su Yu cast [Invisibility Skill] and stealthily approached the top of the canyon.
The players were witnessing Su Yu’s shockingly fast movement speed for the first time and couldn’t help but exclaim:
“Damn! How can Nemesis run so fast!”
“This speed is terrifying! I can’t even drive this fast!”
“As an assassin, this speed puts me to shame.”
“I get it now! A few days ago, the ‘Flying Man Incident of the Sixth Newbie
Village’ was making waves. Turns out that ‘Flying Man’ was Nemesis!”
“Stop the discussion, we need to keep up.”
“Alright.’
“Right, let’s follow.”
Over eighty soul-form players hurriedly followed Su Yu towards the top of the canyon.
After leaving the curtain and running for a bit, Su Yu suddenly discovered that getting close to the bandit leader was not as easy as he initially thought.
The high-ranking bandits had a large hate radius, and even with his [Invisibility Skill], he would still be detected if he got too close.
Furthermore, his epic-grade [Invisibility Skill] only lasted for 30 seconds and had a cooldown time of 3 minutes.
The 30 seconds time frame was not sufficient for him to approach [John the Baptizer].
Helplessly, Su Yu had no choice but to bypass the bandit army and make a big detour through the forest behind them.
After circling around for a considerable distance and spending about 10 minutes, Su Yu finally appeared 65 meters behind [John the Baptizer], hiding behind a large tree.
As a level-70 BOSS, [John the Baptizer] has a vigilance range of over 100 meters.
However, given the noisy battlefield now, and that the BOSS had his attention entirely on the battlefield below the canyon, he didn’t pick up on Su Yu’s approach at all.
Now, Su Yu was just one step away from achieving his plan.
Standing behind the tree, Su Yu pressed his back against the tree, attempting to breathe as slowly as possible.
He sent a message in the chat room: “Snow Leopard, is everyone ready?”
Snow Leopard (Soul): “We’re ready, of course.”
Snow Leopard looked at the group of players in front of him, appearing somewhat helpless.
Unlike Su Yu, who had to detour, these players, in their soul forms, came straight over and were much faster than Su Yu.
However, some close combat players, perhaps out of boredom or excitement, were constantly using skills such as “Slap”, “Spit”, “Deadly Chicken Peck” on John, leaving the usually sober Snow Leopard somewhat helpless.
Su Yu: “Good, notify everyone to focus their attention on the ‘Respawn’ button. Respawn as soon as the button lights up.”
“Got it!”
Snow Leopard immediately relayed the orders over the channel.
Su Yu waited for several more seconds behind the tree.
Feeling that the timing was just right, he calmly emerged from behind the tree and switched to the [Village Chief’s Staff].
“Huh?”
[John the Baptizer] sensed something amiss and turned back to look.
But it was too late.
Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!
Three flashes of white light sped past, and Su Yu used the [Flash Skill] to cross 45 meters to get closer to the BOSS.
The landing spot was only 20 meters away from the BOSS!
At the same time, numerous white lights of resurrection shone brightly around Su Yu, and over 80 players respawned instantly!
Su Yu swiftly crushed the [Badge of Equality].
Eerie hum—
A golden wave of light spread out from his hands, covering the entire area within a 40-meter radius.
There were 4 guards, over level 50, around [John the Baptizer].
Once hit by the light wave, their levels dropped drastically, plummeting straight down to level 12!
The players, under the buff of the light wave, were elevated to level 13, equal to the BOSS.
The players got excited. One by one, they activated their strongest attacks and directed them at the BOSS.
Within moments, arrows and spells flew everywhere, swords and daggers glistened.
Layers upon layers of damage numbers popped up from [John the Baptizer], his health was dropping at an alarming rate of 2% per second. [John the Baptizer] obviously realized he’d been ambushed.
But faced with such a predicament, he had no way out.
Originally, as a fifth-order powerful entity, he could levitate and wasn’t afraid of being surrounded.
However, after his level was reduced, he couldn’t even fly, let alone execute many of his powerful skills.
[Cross Slash], [Mountain Breaker Blow], [Rage Burst], [Soul Devouring Hand]…
All [John the Baptizer] could do was futilely utilize low-level skills to attack players.
Although his skill attacks had a great force and could insta-kill, a single [Cross Slash], for instance, could reduce a well-equipped defensive warrior to nothing.
But there were simply too many players, and they were raining down an overwhelming amount of spells and attacks that kept him suppressed.
The BOSS’s subordinates nearby were in much worse shape than the BOSS himself.
The attacks of the BOSS’s subordinates couldn’t insta-kill tank players of their level, and they also didn’t have as much health as their boss.
It didn’t take long after the fight started for them to be critically injured from all the ranged attacks, and players like Snow Leopard and A Thousand Cups
Unintoxicated killed them instantly with their string of high-damage combos.
The bandits, engaged in combat at the base of the canyon, also noticed something odd. Turning back, they found that their lair had been infiltrated.
The bandits rushed back to help.
However, the top of the canyon was too far from its base, and the princess’s royal guard definitely wouldn’t let them pass.
By the time the high-ranking bandits could muster up enough force to rush back to help, [John the Baptizer] had already been beaten to a pulp by the players’ insane output for over a minute, with his health bar emptied and his longsword slipping from his grasp onto the ground.
