Chapter 645: The Great Apocalypse For The Skymane Gorilla

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

The members who came today weren't elite group members, so they couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the battle. They often moved left when they were instructed to move right and gathered when they were supposed to scatter. Mistakes were often made and team members constantly died.

This was the price that they had to pay in order to get better. Lu Li wasn't the least bit concerned about their experience losses; he continued to direct the battle heartlessly.

After the health of the boss dropped below half, many of those who died had been revived already. Those who thought highly of themselves and were unhappy that they didn't get selected for the elite group began to understand why. They realized what they lacked and the strength difference that was present between them. The elite group members weren't chosen by two players battling each other – the selection was mainly based on their ability to cooperate with the team.

In a battle that involved hundreds of players, any mistake could be critical.

"Team fourteen, I called you to gather. Did you not hear it? That's three points deducted for ten players." Lu Li was beginning to lose his temper; he couldn't tolerate a silly technical mistake that caused mass-casualties.

The players from team fourteen were embarrassed; they couldn't bring themselves to make any complaints.

They were a randomly-formed team and weren't sensitive to their title as 'team fourteen members'. When Lu Li had previously given instructions to team fourteen, they had no clue he was talking to them.

"Don't stress – just follow instructions and remember your own team and class. Complete whatever instructions are given by the commander," Square Root 3 encouraged. He had to look after the mood of the guild members.

The two of them balanced out each other and the guild members didn't have any complaints.

The Skymane Gorilla was covered in blood and its fur was bright red. Its attack could often one-shot players, but no matter how hard it tried, they simply kept coming.

Five to six tanks simultaneously casted Taunt onto it, so it had no spare time to find more rocks to thorugh.

It had lost its strongest attack tactic and was now no longer a threat.

Within fifteen minutes, the Skymane Gorilla was on low health.

The battle was fast paced, mainly because there were no interruptions. The other guild could only watch this from across the sea.

Since other wild bosses dropped rare materials and exquisite equipment, there was always fighting amongst the players around them. Countless guild competed against each other for an opportunity to fight the Boss; their members couldn't even tell if they had arrived to kill the boss or to kill other players.

There was no one to compete against Ruling Sword, so they had less pressure.

System: Congratulations Ruling Sword. Under the lead of Lu Li, Azure Sea Breeze, Lonesome Flower and March Rain… the Skymane Gorilla has been slain.

The world announcement arrived as expected, and everyone was happy when they saw their own names included.

Even if they couldn't see their own players IDs, the guild name in the announcement was enough to make them proud. Anyone who dared to stand against Ruling Sword was bound to be crushed.

"Alright, let everyone go back. Those who I point out need to stay," Lu Li said, then asked Remnant Dream to collect the equipment.

"Can't we all go in? We're all still in a good mood," Square Root 3 asked with a bit of remorse.

"Those mentioned can go in first. Then, you can instruct others to enter until its full."

Lu Li wasn't sure how many players were allowed to enter, so he could only make an estimate.

Remnant Dream had already looted the equipment. The best item was a level 45 Dark Gold Shaman hammer.

From the description given by the gaming company, Shamans were the leaders of Azeroth tribes.

They were masters who controlled the elements and could destroy enemies, but also support their team members. With the help of their totems, Shamans were very capable in all aspects of battle.

Shamans were provided with three paths of development. The elemental path was good for magic damage and could provide team members with totems to boost magic Critical Strike. The buff path Shamans were similar to Thieves and fought in close-combat. They could provide their team members with totems to boost Critical Strike. Finally, Rejuvenation Shamans specialized in healing, with both single-target and group healing spells.

Besides these totems, there were other common totems that Shamans of different paths shared and were all useful in different scenarios.

This hammer was suitable for buff Shamans, so Lu Li assigned it to Sakura Memories. The other players received points to make up for this.

This was especially so for the buff Shamans. They were the ones who were impacted the most by this assignment, so they received extra compensation. This was a popular way to sort out these kind of issues amongst everyone.

After all, there were so many buff Shamans in the guild. There would be a huge sum of points involved if they were to compete against each other for the equipment.

Ninety percent of the players didn't have a chance anyway, so now that they had been compensated with points, they didn't worry too much about it. Even if they were to compete for the hammer, Sakura Memories had the most points amongst them anyway.

She was a professional player, and participation in a competitive match would win her a huge sum of points.

There was also a skill book for Bloodlust. It was strange how the boss consistently dropped Shaman items. Sakura Memories had already learnt this skill, so all of the other Shamans were keen for it.

Bloodlust was the signature Ultimate Skill of Shamans. Any Shaman could apply to join an elite group of any major guild once they had learned this skill.

Since this skill book was distributed by the guild, if a guild member wanted it, they would have to sign a contract. If they wanted to leave someday, they would have to compensate for liquidated damages. Whether it was Ruling Sword or other guilds, no one would give such a skill book to an untrustworthy person.

The competition for it was fierce. The skill book was eventually taken by a Shaman from the second elite team who paid a high price.

This chubby fellow's ID was Flying Fish Hater. It seemed like he was popular amongst the players – otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten the skill book so easily. Some players had more points than he did, but for some reason, they all owed him a favor.

Flying Fish Hater was a chubby guy. He hadn't adjusted his appearance when he entered the game, but he was known to be fleet on foot.

He was a Rejuvenation Shaman with decent technique and took the main healer position in the second elite team.

After he acquired the skill book, he immediately followed the other executives of the guild. Even without Lu Li saying anything, Square Root 3 would place him into the team that would later enter the guild's secret zone.

There were another two Gold-grade Warrior equips. One was taken by Moonlight, while the other was taken by Global Friendship.

After they finished the distribution of the loot, Lu Li began to announce the players who were going to enter the secret zone. Everyone waited in excitement; even those who weren't top players had a bit of hope in them.
